Blood and Water

Due to the nature of the approval, I'll be moving up one tier at a time.

---

Base Ability: You may either reduce the duration of negative status effects or reflect them. Even if conditional, you may not do both. I'd, personally, choose the latter. If this is an aura, it'd only affect your allies. If this ability solely affects you, then it isn't an aura. Separate skills may be applied to augment the base ability, allowing you to retain all abilities.

Wait...

Where's it say Auras can't affect the person who's GENERATING the Aura?

I'd imagine it's similar to an AoE, where you're the epicenter. Being the epicenter means you're not effected, as you're the focal point of the ability. You'd need a separate skill to have those effects applied to you.

If Game Master wishes to overrule, he may.

I would argue that AoE Heals/Buffs usually include the caster in their effects. I feel like this would operate on the same logic.

I'll drop the self-effect, if you're insistent on it. I can just re-introduce it as a skill somewhere else in the tree. But, I'd like to feel out the rest of this, before I go changing anything else.

I've always felt the opposite, where you aren't affected by the effects of an AoE when you're at the epicenter. However, for the sake of versatility, and my main concern being the abundance of other effects, we'll see how the self-effect plays out.

For reduction, you'd only be able to choose endurance or character tier, not both. You may, however, instead double whichever you choose for reduction.

Cool. Left the self-effect struck through, in case it turns out to be alright.

Would it make a difference, aside from the number of posts, which I used? 
Like, would End-based be fundamentally different from Tier-based?

It would only make a difference if your endurance isn't T5. Keep in mind what I said about reflect.

Fixed.

No problems with T1.

T2
Pull: This affects attributes, therefore, your mileage will vary based on the strength of this ability, against the strength of the opposing character and any other abilities they may be using.

Burn The Witch: Doesn't have the cool-down designated.

So, what power would Pull be working at?

What cooldown would you like for Burn?

It's a T2 skill, I figure that's generally self explanatory.

5 posts seems fair.

Well, hell, if the pull fails, it's probably still be strong enough to knock 'em off their feet.

Cooldown added within seconds of this post.

All T3 abilities can just be an addition to the aura, punishing foes for being within range of it. It doesn't need to be limited to just 10 feet.

However, if you wish to subvert aura immunities, I understand. Just clarify, and I'll move on to T4.

Yeah, those are specifically not part of the aura, for a reason.

Holy of Holies I'd rather keep absorption, solely absorption at entry level. And while I'm fine with the barrier and reflective barrier stipulation -- as I feel absorption should generally be able to absorb defensive properties -- but I'm not okay with the disabling.

In The Full Light If it cannot be destroyed on the outside, then everything must be allowed to enter, including allies. You may double, not triple damage. Raise the CD to 20.

Take a look at the T4s again.

Approved.

If at all possible, I'd like to add something to the T5. Take a look.

Approved.
