Re: Blue Fields

Ok ... simple answer (Though Sean's has been, bar none, the best)

Here's my arguement:

1)	It's a simple game.

2)	It's an EARTH spell.

3)	It's cast relative to the biggest, nearest amount of EARTH, not
	biggest, nearest amount of MASS.

That's it.




Examples:

You cast it on or near Jearn, it stays at that point relative to JEARN.

you cast it while you weigh 5000000 pounds, on Jearn, and it STILL stays
at that point relative to JEARN. (you're not EARTH)

you cast it on a 5000000 rock on JEARN, then move the rock, it STILL stays
relative to that point on JEARN. i.e. without moving (the rock is part of
JEARN and/or JEARN is a larger body of EARTH)

You hop onto a moon ... you cast a blue field, it stays relative to the
MOON (The nearest, largest body of EARTH)

You hop onto a moon, weighing 5000000 pounds, it stays relative to the
MOON (again, you're not EARTH)

You say, "OH yeah?  I transmog into an EARTH ELEMENTAL, and TWEAK MYSELF
OUT to be a PLANET-SIZED MASS MADE OF EARTH!"  Then you cast a blue field.
THE GM STRIKES YOU BODILY because you are being SILLY!

You hop into your planetary mass grade space ship and cast a blue field.
1) It stays relative to the largest body of EARTH
2) The GM STRIKES YOU BODILY wondering where you got a PLANETARY MASS
sized space ship!

You cast it on or near JEARN, and then crack the planet neatly in half,
and carry around the part the field is anchored to in the left hip pocket
of your blue jeans.
The GM looks desperately between the bottle of prozac and the bottle of
tequila, trying to find a way out of the room ... or he gets one of Greg
or Sean's pigstickers and slashes his way out.


If you guys like, I can do a brief (20-30 page) write-up on blue fields
that would make a lovely addendum to the drowning rules ;)

(and the set would make a lovely addition to the Morto Vojo!)
