    Melee Game Design Path Forward?

    Sure. This thread title specified melee but fighters used to be the best ranged damage in the game by far. With eviscerate gone, rogues can do better ranged burst damage with assassinates. Fighters should have better repetitive damage. If I were making an archer, I would have gone fighter...

    Melee Game Design Path Forward?

    I think it's an interesting question: What is the long term plan for fighters and other melee? The owner vote summary tells us what may be the role of the fighter: "members voting for disagreed that Fighter is in a fragile space as their build occupies a space of continuous passive...

    Caster build

    I'm not sure about the pencil build - is that a single ninth? As a 50+ celestial scholar who enjoys combat, I did a column with a little width on the bottom for additional level 2 mend armor. There are many combats where I don't actually fight because I outlevel them. But I will often use mend...

    Caster build

    If you don’t care about damage dealing or fighting, it sounds like you don’t care about being combat support, right? Like you don’t want to run around in combat casting mend armor for example? In that case I would focus on crafting and / or high magic. Sounds like you want to cast rituals? If...

    Resolved Resist destroy magic and ritual backlash question

    I have a couple of questions about resist destroy magic. In the CMA resist DM says choose immediately when the item is hit by DM. Is the intent that you can only resist a DM that targets the same item the resist is cast on? Resist DM can target a spirit. Would you then read item as spirit so you...

    How does copy formal magic work at the national event?

    I want to cast some copy formal magic rituals at the national event. Will the resulting scrolls be XR? Does it matter if the copy is from AGB (like would the resulting scroll also be AGB)? Does it matter if I am copying a mist touched scroll (like an AGB copy cast on a mist touched preserve)...

    Alliance Rulebook 2.1 Draft 10

    In the biata description, it is not clear that biata feathers are restricted to certain colors and that the color you choose impacts your RP. If a player doesn't follow the link, they may come in game with any color feathers. Even if they do follow the link, it's not 100% clear that the colors...

    Looking for help with a crafting example

    Thank you, I get it for my example of 20 alchemy. If I can get crazy here, let’s say I have 180 alchemy. I spend 2 points, get 180 production free. I spend four points for a second batch. I use 9 toolkits and 9 gold to get another 180 points? Then if I buy a third, fourth, fifth, and sixth batch...

    Looking for help with a crafting example

    Hi friends, Having read the final 2.1, I'm not sure I get how crafting works. Let's say I have alchemy 20. I spend all 20 points things other than CAE. I still get to craft 20 points' worth at logistics, right? I just need 20 crafting materials or a toolkit and a gold piece. Without the...

    2.0, 2.1, and returning players

    Hey there. I hear you. I didn't love rewriting my character for 2.0, but I am glad I did because LARPing is still major fun :) Anyway, I would reach out to the local chapter - I suspect they have someone who can help you. If they don't, please message me. I can point you to the rules, help you...

    General crafting and alchemy specific points questions

    Now I get it. The free equipment and the craft adventuring equipment can't be combined at all - two separate pools. So first I get 10 points of free stuff. Then I use ability points (and maybe use some ability points to craft). With recycle and 6 CAE, can I trade in 2 enfeeble globes for 3...
