Novalis Servitor Attunement: Rose Thorns

By Vaughn Romero

Rose Thorns (a.k.a Instant Karma)

The angel can surround herself with an invisible field that inflicts corporeal damage upon any attacker that damages the angel. Any attack that inflicts corporeal damage upon the angel will also be inflicted upon the attacker. The amount of damage (Body hits only) taken by the attacker is equal to the amount of corporeal damage inflicted upon the angel plus half the amount of Essence spent to power the field (round fractions up). The field requires 2 Essence to raise and will last for 5 minutes plus an additional minute for each additional Essence used to power the field. The field does not prevent the angel from taking damage, but fellow servitors of Flowers are immune to the field's effects (no throwing Flower servitors around for fun!). While rumors speak of a celestial version of this attunement, it is merely wishful thinking on the part of more militant angels. Corporeal death is one thing, but promoting, or risking, soul-death is not in the spirit of the word.

This might also work as a song, but I don't think that promoting Ethereal and Celestial damage would fit Novalis' style. I made the effects intentionally invisible because having played enough Diablo 2, I know some munchkin player would just see the field and wait for it to wear off first. I say let the bad people wonder what that Essence expenditure was for or find out the hard way.
