This sounds very cool, especially from what I've heard from a friend who is a patron but I'm very confused by the use of the name Anchorite for one of the wizards. An anchorite is an extremely specific thing, a Christian hermit that sealed themselves in a cell attached to a church or monastery. Why use this word if not doing the actual highly specific anchorite thing, and not a more general word such as hermit?
He's a hermit who is anchored to a specific place and wields power through how he projects outside of it! That said, it's a name I'm not 100% satisfied with and may change in future drafts.
I see - my friend had said that he wasn't literally anchored to a specific place, just metaphorically, so that had bothered me because of how specific the concept of the anchorite is. Thanks for the info!
* ottimo gioco, amo il modo in cui ogni giocatore fa da arbitro per il suo dominio, molto più bilanciato dei giochi con un solo DM, e ti fa entrare nella mentalità che ogni azione deve avere una conseguenza!
