Protective Charm: Difference between revisions

This can be a spell or [[Ancient Artifact]] that acts as a form of [[Supernatural Aid]] that keeps the character safe. It might render them hard to find, naturally [[Holy Burns Evil|harm or repel]] attackers, or cause [[Glamour Failure]] on whoever is using [[Glamour|supernatural]] [[Master of Disguise|disguises.]] Of course, an un-harmable protagonist is too close to being an [[Invincible Hero]], so the charm likely [[Fantastic Fragility|has limitations]] either [[Literal Genie|in the wording]], the method, range, or another part of the protection. One popular limit is it stops working on a [[Dangerous Sixteenth Birthday]]. Likewise, it [[Forced to Watch|may not protect allies]] or actively defeat villains, either.

 

 

Often [[White Magic]]. Compare [[Kryptonite-Proof Suit]].

* In ''[[GURPS]]'' traditionally styled protective amulets can be made using Path/Book rituals. The standard spell system has spells to create charms more in line with the modern concept.
