You don’t have to call me Mr. Larwood. It makes me sound like I’m in front of a classroom again. Just call me Phil.

Good point, Mr. Larwood, and Doomed Paladins’s idea about putting the cost under the “Special” heading is a great solution. I apologize for the confusion, and I hope you like the array of fetishes in next week’s article.

Thank you Mr. Larwood, that’s my issue. The cost shouldn’t be listed under “benefit” it should be under “special”. I’m sorry that I didn’t explain my problem better. I look forward to seeing the variety of fetishes you’ve cooked up Mr. Welham.

I think there probably should have been an extra section for each feat that said cost or something. You could then have the benefit be “you create a fetish from the following list of fetishes (with gp value next to each), etc” while the cost section would clearly stipulate both the gp cost of the fetish but also the loss in power (spell power, rage rounds, etc.) This might have saved any possible confusion.

Fantastic idea nevertheless!

@ DoomedPaladin – Quite clearly states that the effects you mentioned are temporary, as in will go away in 24 hours. Meant to simulate the power you have invested in the fetish and the resulting fatigue, no doubt.

Yes, next week’s finale has all the actual fetishes! They do indeed provide benefits unique to the specific fetish.

Because we do not know what kind of benefit a fetish will give I can only assume that the author balanced the fetish by incurring penalties.

Let’s wait for the second installment to see what a fetish can do.
