[Torg] Reality Bubbles and Cosm Boundaries...

[Michael Jason Teegarden]

Yo to ya.

My thinking would, first, be "How the heck can this character move that fast?!?"  To my knowledge, a reality bridge will have plenty of barriers and obstacles that would slow the character down.  As for gates, I'm rarely a fan of simple, no consequence, instantaneous travel between cosms, except by use of a DD's dim thread.  Advantage for the bad guys.

That aside, my thought is this: the character spend one possibility to put up the reality bubble and thus keeps it, despite whatever conditions might erupt.  That bubble stays up for those 15 minutes (I have monkeyed around with the time limit before, using such things as Reality skill adds, a die roll, and so on, but for the most part, prefer the standard, ordinary, set limit of 15 minutes).  The protecting axioms are those of the character her/himself, so the surrounding reality does not matter at all.  The local cosm could in fact be the exact same home cosm the character is (currently) from, and the axioms would be the exact same.  Nonetheless, that reality bubble is still there, just in case it is needed, just in case something happens.

As to the magic spell ... I'll eagerly look for those heads who are better at the Magic stuff to take that one.  :P

Reality Bubbleslast for fifteen minutes, if I recall.  What if you travel
through many cosms in quick succession?

For example, Let's say you are in Cosm A that doesn't support magic, expend
a possibility, and raise a Reality Bubble.  You then casts Flight, travel 2
minutes then pass through a cosm gate into Cosm B (which also does not
support magic), travel 5 minutes then pass through a Cosm Gate that leads to
Cosm C(still no magic support), and finally travel 3 minutes then pass
through a Cosm Gate into cosm D, which does support magic. 

Do you have to spend a new possibility every time you enter a new cosm, or
does the initial expenditure keep your bubble up through A, B, and C, until
you enter D?  In other words by spending one Possibility, can you Fly
through successive cosms for your full 15 minutes of your Bubble?  Jim?

Second question:  If you have a spell of Flight you cast on yourself, and
you travel from one cosm that supports the spell to another, does crossing
the cosm boundary kill the spell, forcing a recast, or does it keep
puttering along, so long as one has a Bubble up or only travels through
cosms that support it?

Thanks.
