Layonara - View Single Post - Do different types of magic look different?

Dorganath · 12-12-05, 10:55 AM

On a GM-led quest, pretty much anyone with half a point of Spellcraft can tell the difference between arcane and divine magic.� All magic on Layonara comes from the Weave.� Arcane casters channel it directly, divine casters have it "filtered" through their respecive deities (or "nature" for druids/rangers).�
NWN however makes no distinction between the two types of magic EXCEPT when a particular spell does damage of type "Magical" or "Divine". Also spell failure due to armor doesn't affect divine casters at all.
This is one of those game mechanics things that can be handled with a GM present but not during normal�play.
