War Disciple Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 What is a valid target for the "Bury" Magia?In the miniatures game, Bury must target a "model" but in TTB the description refers to a "target" without elaborating. For my own games, I've ruled that the target must be a character, but there was some discussion with my group during the Nythera 1 session about whether or not Bury could be used to remove a control collar (essentially just teleporting it to within 1 yard of the caster) or target inanimate objects in general.

I'm thinking that since the wording is the same as mind control - and that it'd be weird for a control collar to take a 1 AP Action - it should probably only affect a character. That also cuts down on a whole bunch of potential abuse, such as Burying walls just to unbury them next to steal an enemy's cover from them, or burying entire buildings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
War Disciple Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Excellent - thank you. Didn't even occur to me about potentially burying a wall, or a building. I was more concerned about smaller-scale shenanigans. I need to think bigger! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

War Disciple Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Hokay, so... when the Bury spell ends, does the person who cast the spell need to have line-of-sight to the target when the target becomes unburied?For my own group, I ruled yes--the target must appear in a safe location and how do you know it's safe if you can't see it?--but there is an argument that the spell could not be cast if the ultimate destination of the target was not safe, even if the caster could not see that destination (and someone also asked if Bury was how the Death Marshals get people into those lovely coffins they carry if the coffins are always chained up).Sorry, I thought this was pretty much resolved as far as my own group goes, but the fellow who pays James Beckett in Nythera is determined to develop new and clever uses for the Bury spell regardless of my rulings.

Mason Posted October 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Placing the unburied character within line of sight is probably the way to go for truly strange application of the spell. However, whether or not a location is safe sort of exists independent of whether or not the Fated can see it. If it's pitch black and the Fated can't see, the target will still be unburied in a safe place... if the Fated tries to unbury them in an unsafe place, either have them pick a new location or have the target be unburied in the closest safe location.

War Disciple Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Thank you for the reply, it will come in handy. Though I am in no way eagerly anticipating what my James Beckett player may next try with Bury... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinush Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 I've definitely read somewhere that lawyers wear their masks to hide their identities should a trial not go their way and their clients family seek revenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
