Elorii Kickstarter Talents: The Final Cut

I realize that this is more than a day late and a few dollars short. Between the holidays, hospitilization, family deaths, familly hospitilizations, and Arcanicon stat writing, I have not been able to respond. I don’t know what certs have gone out to players, but I figured I would post comments…

Union of 4 Elements…getting the 2fer is powerful, but Cody explained the logic and it makes sense, especially given that you guys limited it to Broadsword.

Not Where You Think….compared to Flowing River, this seems prtty powerful. yes, it is half the defense value, but unlimited use. At Push 2, I think it should be limited to X times per scene (passive Quickness?). If it is kept unlimitd usage per scene, I would increase the Push to no less than 3 and no more than 5. (I think 4 seems fair…5 a bit much…3 would probably be ok).

Elemental Ally seemed scary as hell to me power-wise…until I realized that it cant be taken until T3. As such, the recipient cannot advance it beyond a T3 Loyal Companion. My basic concern….is the person getting to choose their own elemental, or are we providing stats? There is huge difference stat-wise from a T1 medium sized common and a T1 Gargantuan sized common with brute and ex. specimen….but both would qualify under this Talent. Story-wise, it concerns me…but Ssethric Elementalists of the Creationist school do this, and the Elorii learned their magic through careful observation. So, I person being able to do it is no big. We just havent nailed down the actual mechanics cost-wise for permanent elemental creation in the Sseth book.

Lastly…counting these and Aura of the Goddess from the other thread, I count 9 Talents, but I thought there were only 8 Illustrious Incarnations….did one of these get kaboshed?
