Mad Summoner: Skill Question

Burning Wheel Character Burner
1

So BWG seems like it got updated with lots of stuff from the Magic Burner - but the thing I didn’t see was the inclusion of Bargaining and Circination in the LP’s that involve Summoning.

I wasn’t sure if that was just a disconnect between the timing of the books or if it was intended to convey the rarity of those skills - and force people to drop General Points for them.

In particular, I looked at Mad Summoner and Weather Witch. As a core function of their Sorcerous skills it seems like they would have Circination. I guess I could see Bargaining as a rarer skill but it seems like its definitely appropriate to both paths so would maybe be on there.

Intended or should I feel free to consider those skills in appropriate LP’s?

Use the BWG paths as and the Magic Burners for Circination and Bargaining.

You don’t need either of them to use Summoning. And the LP is called the MAD SUMMONER after all.

I had a feeling you were going to say that.

You can do whatever you want, but I don’t think anyone is going to be surprised when I saw use the RAW.

Even if you don’t get to do exactly what you want, using the RAW nearly always involves fewer headaches.
