Machine Invisibility - Machine Radiation Invisibility

Machine Radiation Invisibility
Range: 2m
Casting Time: 1 Round
MP Cost: 2
Duration: 1 hour

The creature or object (up to a 3m cube) touched cannot be seen/imaged by machines, electronic sensors, or other high-tech detection devices that use X-rays, gamma rays, and/or similar radiation. The creature/object is similarly to mechanical construct type creatures. If the recipient is a creature carrying gear, the gear is likewise undetectable. Items dropped or put down by an affected creature become detectable to machine sensors. Any part of an item that the subject carries but that extends more than 3m from it becomes detectable, such as a trailing rope.

While machine "invisibility" is useful for many tasks requiring stealth, it sometimes makes the subject’s life more difficult. Probably going to cause a problem when the security scanners at the airport appear to malfunction (failing to detect you at all).

This does not protect you from radiation sickness/radiation poisoning.

[Fantômas]

Does it include infrared radiation?

[logan9a]

Wasn't there another spell that protected from infrared that Scott just made? Or am I mistaken? If there isn't, discuss.


Awaiting more player's input...

Maybe you can lob these 2 into their own little branch: heroiccthulhu.proboards.com/thread/4663/machine-invisibility-radio

As they both deal with certain types of "waves".

[Scott]

As I've said before, I'm okay if there is some overlap between these spells.

But yes, "radiation" is too broad. What I was going for here is Ionizing Radiation (which will include the UV spectrum).

IR should get lumped in with thermography.

Apparently smoke detectors also use ionizing radiation.

[logan9a]

Thinking that this is all overly complicated (all of the invisibility to machines type spells) for the way I GM.

If there's a link to a wiki to tell you what all is included or explain a term, that's a pretty good indication that it's not going to get used.

[logan9a]

I was trying to think of a way to do this that I wouldn't consider OP.

Example: Fool crude machine, fool complicated machine, fool crude robot, fool complicated robot, fool android (yeah, we have them), fool replicant, fool cyborg but just in the first two, the powers would need to be broken out (maybe on all) to keep it from being OP.
