Here: Failed Apprentice Concept

@David Chart

OK, since people are breaking the game using RoP:M, I thought I'd play.

Here's my concept for a Failed Apprentice, with a couple of Supernatural Virtues left. He has Greater Immunity (Deprivation) (page 44) and a single Lesser Power (page 45).

His Lesser Power is Grant Puissance in Magic Theory (page 38).

Because he has no Might, one Fatigue level is equivalent to five Might Points used on the power (page 45). He has five Fatigue levels, which he doesn't get back until the benefit goes away, but that's OK, he's Immune to Deprivation, so being unconscious for months won't bother him. Five Fatigue levels is 25 Might Points. For each Might Point, he can grant a single character +3 to a specific Total or Ability, Magic Theory in this case.

So he doesn't need any more stats, because he's going to spend his life asleep in a back room, granting my magus +75 to all Lab Totals.

(Various objections can be raised to this, but that's not the point. For example, it might only be +63; the description of Grant Puissance is not clear as to whether the 4 Might Points of cost count as part of the invested Might Points or not. I've assumed they do. Why would the Failed Apprentice do this? Well, maybe he wouldn't, so take the Immunity away, make him a grog, and the magus gets a mere +60 on seasons when he can convince the grog to use his power. Which, with magic at his disposal, shouldn't be hard. I"m trying to break the game here, guys...)

It us unclear if this is doable by the rules, however, as you can read in that same link.

Cheers,
