\nDisclaimer<\/big>:<\/big><\/p>\n
Magic in Pirates & Zombies is primarily, though not exclusively, Voodoo based.\u00a0\u00a0 The Voodoo, or Vodoun, described here is MY<\/strong> take at creating a viable and interesting playing system.\u00a0 I have, when ever possible, used actual terms, names and general descriptions.\u00a0 How these things work, interact with people and their moral or religious interpretations are entirely my own creation.\u00a0 No offense is intended to those who practice Vodoun in their lives.\u00a0 No one should consider my descriptions or interpretations as being accurate, realistic or of value in any scholarly or interpretive way. Magic in Pirates & Zombies:<\/big><\/p>\n Magic, particularly Spell Casting, is under the control of the GM (Missiledine.)\u00a0 Players can never be spell casters in P&Z.\u00a0 This does not mean that they cannot and will not use magic.\u00a0 But the magic that player characters will have access to will PRIMARILY be in the form of\u00a0 charms, potions, weapons, books, scrolls, jewelry, candles and a variety of other objects.<\/p>\n Generally speaking, Magic in P&Z is more subdued then that seen in most Swords&Sorcery games. The ubiquitous Battle Mage, casting fireballs and lightning bolts, does not exist in P&Z. Most spell casters are focused on making items or casting lower profile spells that have more subtle effects on the subject. ‘Attack’ spells are Curses that can affect the subjects health and well being, but are not likely to blow him up.<\/p>\n
\nIt may seem silly to have to stress this,\u00a0 THESE PAGES ARE FOR A GAME,<\/strong> but I recently discovered other game pages I have created being cited by ‘scholars’ as valid source material for their research work!<\/p>\n
