Yes, in the 0.11c packet. Here: The fact that it refers to "United Strike" when the skill is currently called "United Blow" suggests it might have been intended for use only on Strike skills, but United Blow doesn't produce a Strike in its current form.

Yeah, if it was actually "United Strike" and was thus a Spell Strike like all the other uses of Imbue Magic it would be unambiguous whether you could block it without needing to know the packet color.

While this is the Playtest forum I do agree that splitting it off is for the best. Here: https://alliancelarp.com/forum/threads/blocking-spell-arrows.38739/

Splitting off conversation from https://alliancelarp.com/forum/threads/denver-november-16-18-thoughts-and-musings.38721/#post-302538 I suspect that last bit was either from an older packet or intended to say "Spell Strike", since if "Spell" by itself is equivalent to "Spell Strike" then we...

I suspect that last bit was either from an older packet or intended to say "Spell Strike", since if "Spell" by itself is equivalent to "Spell Strike" then we wouldn't bother using that keyword. That's the entire point of Strike, to make physical deliveries unblockable.

As an example of a weird call that a PC can generate, United Blow + Imbue Magic allows a call like "90 Spell Body" to be made with an arrow, so the defender probably wants to be clear on whether they can block that. Though the packet seems weirdly indecisive about whether it should be "United...

I didn't see any of those weird hypothetical calls (except maybe the Weapon Strike Charm, not sure if I hallucinated that). I just have no way of knowing how hypothetical they are. All I know is that monsters can make calls I can't (like "Arcane Fear") and that I need to be mechanically ready to...

Qualifier (weapon, spell, etc) has no effect on what determines a valid target, only the delivery type and presence of the Strike keyword. Per the packet: So technically, a Spell qualifier attack with an arrow packet is a legal thing and is blocked by shields because it uses physical delivery...

Played a version of my usual low-level crafter/triage healer, so didn't see a lot of direct combat. Healing: Flex casting is great, prepared almost no healing spells but still got by. Not fighting undead today? Still get some use out of this Sanctuary. It was nice to be able to prepare niche...

New site is great so far! Huge awesome heated cabins. Icy death rivers were unfortunate but the soccer field worked great! Barn cat and ranch corg! Woke up Saturday morning with a nasty charley horse, thought "Gosh I hope I can still be useful without being able to run around today". Apparently...

So just to make sure, other effects should be activated that way as well, right? So whereas before I would hear "Activate Prison", now it's "Activate Spell Prison"?

When a activating a signature spell from a magic item, what's the proper call if you can do the short version? Guesses: Activate 5 Flame Bolt Activate 5 Spell Flame Activate Evocation Bolt, 5 Spell Flame

I have news for those in and around the lands of Acarthia regarding the plague that began afflicting thousands who had been influenced by the Outsider known as Umbrasil. As you may know, normal curatives stave off death for a time but do not cure it. We at the New Acarthia chapter of the...

Yeah, there's a bug, the current formula listed for Archery lists High Ogre, High Orc, and Stone Elf as the races with halved Archery. This is easy enough to fix on an existing copy - flip over to the Skill Chart sheet, scroll down to the Archery row (51), and update the formulas in that row...

Apologies, I have not attended a Merchant's Guild meeting before, but what day will this meeting be held and in the morning or evening? - Markov

Is this accurate? I haven't seen the cards, but I would have intuitively guessed that Pin could be ripped but not Slow or Repel. Given how inferior they are to Pin otherwise I figured that would be their redeeming value.

Disease doesn't prevent First Aid from setting body to 0 (via explicit exception), but does it prevent a character with 0 body from returning to 1 body after a minute? Do they simply remain unconscious until the disease wears off?

A possible source for inspiration here is the Alchemist class from Pathfinder. The basic premise is at least similar to the above idea, in that it involves temporary items that mechanically function more like daily skills than anything you could sell. I mostly wouldn't make it involve gold...

The packet lists Cure/Cause Wounds and Evocation Bolt as 5 PP per level to potion/scroll, but there's no mention of maximum level. Are 9th level versions of these intended to be legal to produce? I don't see why they wouldn't be, but I've heard a few people assume the opposite.

The nature of the pressure is a little different, though. As a healer on the battlefield, prioritizing limited healing resources when there's not enough to go around is one thing. As a potion maker trying to make some cash at the market, if you'd like to form a line around the corner to give me...
