Re: (TFT) Wizard Scans

[Peter von Kleinsmid <pvk@oz.net>]

Nocstar, a nice interesting mechanic there. How about if wearing iron 
disrupted incoming scans the same way it affects spellcasting? That way, 
wizards could try to hide themselves a bit at the cost of messing up their 
auras, until they dropped the iron.

A new type of spell and/or magic item and/or potion protecting from scans 
would make sense.

Also, you don't mention range limits or effects.

Nor effects of partial concealment. Seems to me that if a wall (even a 
tent) of any thickness blocks, there are still questions of say, a saloon 
door, or a toe peeking or eye peeking around a corner. Or a crowd of people 
blocking (all, or most of) the view to the target. Or someone in full steel 
plate directly between target and scanner, someone hiding under a table 
(does the line of scan go from the eyes or head or from the scanner's whole 
body), can you scan behind yourself without Eyes Behind, etc.

Another option would be to add a magical talent or spell to allow or 
provide a bonus (or avoid a penalty) to scan attempts (and/or to hide from 
them).
