Looking for a Wizardry contest type move – I got an initial something, but I would like to compare. Mine is clearly based on the Navigate Labyrinth one. As a side question how are you handling longer wits contest in a DW game.
Anyway here is what I got. Please be gentle, first move and all.
When you engage in a contest of wizardry against another spellcaster, roll + int, this is where all these years of training pay off. Describe what your spells do to impress the onlookers.
10+: Hold 2
7-9: Hold 1 and choose one of the list below
5-6: lose 1 hold and choose two of the list below
4-: lose all hold and you get hit by all the effect at once.
– Your concentration is strained- take -1 forward
– Your mind is stretched to its limit, take 1d4 damage
– You are stunned- everything becomes fuzzy
If you manage to get 3 holds you win the contest, the opposing spellcaster defeated, the GM will tell you how she takes the defeat.
At any time, you can spend 1 hold to make a flashy effect, getting the crowd behind you (get +1 forward)
You can concede at anytime. How you react to it, is up to you.
