    High Orcs

    So the concerns in the other thread about Biata sparked me to actually start a discussion on the abysmal racials that High Orcs receive. These are my opinions and I would like to hear other's opinions on them. Requirement: Must wear full green make up and Tusks. This is similar to High Ogres...

    Balancing Biata

    This was brought up earlier. Since Dwarves and Stone Elves get -1 to Blacksmithing and Create Scroll respectively, give Biata -1 Create Potion. This gives them something over the others. Also, I don't know how potions have more drawbacks than scrolls besides not being able to throw their...

    Balancing Biata

    The modality is different. They have poison blade and/or Potion blade to accommodate the same effect. So they spend a little more into Alchemy or Potions. I see no problem with that.

    Balancing Biata

    If a player was running around with a bunch of celestial activatables as a Biata, I would shut down their mind powers. Its expressly within our right as plot to do so. It's one of the trade offs. They also don't get the drawbacks that Elves get.

    Potion Coating Clarification

    Perhaps a simple (see alchemy) could be added. That way there is clarification as well as not having to repeat everything again and miss it on future changes...

    Potion Coating Clarification

    Except Alliance is built upon the Spirit of the Rules. Spirit trumps Written.

    Potion Coating Clarification

    Okay. That was my hope but perhaps there should be clarification. It isn't swung as "poison Cure wounds", it is swung as "spell cure wounds". This will leave it open for people to believe they can in fact spell strike into a spell store.

    Potion Coating Clarification

    Will these be limited to end of event like spell store and defensives? I would assume so, but you never know. Edit: also would you be able to spell these then into a spell store? That seems like a flaw in the system and shouldn't be able to be done...

    Ripping from a Bind

    Then that was also not updated on the Master Construct ritual as it has direct correlation there as well. Rip Free- Constructs with Monster Strength can Rip Free of some binding effects on a 3 count. +1 - Pin, Entangle +2 - Pin, Entangle, Bind +3 - Pin, Entangle, Bind, Web +4 or greater - Pin...

    Ripping from a Bind

    The Monster Database has it correspond. The reason they can rip from bindings is due to the monster strength. This is also true of Golems from the Master Construct ritual. I believe this was not combined when they updated the ARB.

    Centralized Local Race Packets

    I would say the reason for not making them public is because if a player makes a character saying they are from our lands but they completely start making up their own history for our area, why even make a character with our race packet? Why not just make up your own lands? If they are truly...

    Trapping Large Rooms

    The problem is not all buildings are built the same across the US and Canada. What happens when its a 10'x12' rule but we have cabins that are 10'x 16' or 11'x11'? do we make all of our rules based on one chapters buildings and force the rest of the Alliance to have to use two traps for each of...

    Trapping Large Rooms

    From event to event, plot can decide to change how something works. Different plot members have different views. Different Marshals have different views. It's completely plausible that they found that having only two traps for such a large room was too easy or unfair, so they increased it, or...

    Questions About the Playtest Rules

    I believe Enhance Armor only goes on regular suits of armor. This is to encourage real armor. It also requires an armor tag, not an arcane armor tag.

    Ripping from a Bind

    There is nothing in the rules that states you have to stand still. You can perform any three count while moving as long as you meet all of the pre-requisites of the three count (weapon on the torso during killing blow, Monster Strength of correct or higher value, pivoting on your right foot when...

    Cure spell at full Body

    You would call taken. You are not immune to Healing when at full health. The amount just doesn't go above your max. Same thing when you have a magic armor and someone casts magic armor on you.

    Centralized Local Race Packets

    I will have to mirror what Philippe said. The national packets are for general knowledge of what the races are suppose to be. The Local packets are actually not allowed to go against anything in the national packets. This actually caused us to have to rewrite the race packets from the previous...

    Why are Golems Gone?

    High Magic as a C-Scholar is probably the best around. If you have 20 points in High Magic (60 build) and a 6 column (156 build, including R/W and RM) as a 21st level character, you are throwing up to 60's from your burst pool and you have 500 points to throw from. Par it down to 10's and you...

    Trapping Large Rooms

    One thing, trap radius is 5' not 6'. Pg 145 Areas of Effect. This is to make things easier. Especially for trappers. At the start of the game, the plot team will dictate what constitutes a "game room" and will dictate which of the larger buildings are X number of game rooms. Then, as a trapper...
