Oct 24, 2008 1:06:32 In the FRPG, there are rules for characters who possess spellscars, basically a mutation that is induced when they get too close to lands tainted by the spellplague. By itself (without the Student of the Plague feat), Spellscarred characters have spellscarred susceptibility (a penalty against other creatures born of the spellplague), and spellplague sense, which allows them to sense said creatures and the lands that spawned them.

My question is, how would you people RP the spellplague sense? I'm going to be playing a Tiefling Swordmage who has a spellscar, and I was thinking his SS would manifest as an intense wave of dread that rolls over him; so much that he breaks out in a cold sweat and his heart races.

Perhaps all other scarred manefest a ringing noise, perhaps the person's ayes glow in blue, perhaps it could smell distinct.

Oct 24, 2008 23:25:12 In the _Battle Circle_ series by Piers Anthony, one of the characters had patches on his skin that he could use to detect radiation - because the radiation hurt the patches of skin, the stronger and deadlier the radiation, the more they hurt.

A spellscar could work in a similar way. Perhaps in the presence of spellplague stuff, the spellscar responds by flaring to life, either really with blue fire, or figuratively with firey discomfort. This could also be used to describe the susceptibility spellscarred PC's have.
