Yes, some very good points.well, consider this. Under "standard" rules, you have to have a 50 in devotion and exhort to be an initiate, which is what is required for Lightning. Magnitude and Intesity are 1/10th of the Devotion score, rounded up. Let's say they are a career priest (the only way they can get those skills at character generation) with 15 points from career and 15 points from bonus in each. now he's got an 11 POW/INT/CHA. Right there he's already looking at an Intensity of 6.
So the lightning is doing 3d6 out of the gate with virtually no optimization outside of putting bonus points into your spellcasting.
Average on that is 10.5 (as we all know, literally off the top of our heads), which is enough to REMOVE legs, arms, and heads. Not serious wound, Major Wound, instantly, on most humans.
well, i might say it has exactly the right amount if they have access to a temple. I suppose that is a matter of preference.
I would look at some other parameters, like ability to recharge. frequent access to temples allows them to recharge pretty quickly.
What I really needed here was a sounding board before I made any rash changes, and yourself and others here have done a good job of this.
I am hesitant to make any changes to fundamental parts of Mythras because I know the system functions so good.
Thanks for giving me some clarification here, it is greatly appreciated.
I will definately leave this as it is now
