That very well may be the decision you have reached for yourself, but the amazing part of this new rules set is the wide variety of builds and how they can appeal to other players. Speaking from personal experience with a very high level main that has access to various spellstrikes through...

I strongly suspect other, better pictures may not have been submitted. My understanding is that while there was a public call for pictures, there weren’t a wide variety submitted.

Using 10 XP of skills and a ritual to get an effect that is 5 XP for its primary class. Versatility, but at a cost, just like almost everything else about being a spellsword.

Armored shell will not grant more body points than the total value of the suit. Empowered armor grants bonus points based on the value of the suit. The suit is the tagged item. Celestial Armor increases adds to a character’s armor but it does not inherently increase the amount of a specific...

The intent is that a player should not hear “No effect” based on needing a specific carrier or type of weapon to administer the killing blow, so it should always “work” on the field. Whether it actually works long term because of a monster specific “may only be permanently killed by...” clause...

I’m actually going to take a second to discuss complexity, as 2.0 includes a number of elements that could be considered more complex than 1.3 that ultimately are not. 2.0 removed multiple calls and effects while adding multiple alternate ways to access existing effects. What this means is...

The 1.3 skill formal magic has grown well beyond its origin as ritual casting. As one of the primary authors of the original high magic set, I can say with both confidence and authority that it was intended as an add-on to ritual casting (at one point including effectively self-spellcraft only...

Yes.

That was intentional. Historically, Formal Magic also required specific access to the Circle of Power spell. Thematically, there is a reason being in a COP is necessary to cast rituals, drawing on the power of the circle and such.

This opinion is a symptom of exactly why this change was needed. There has become a gamewide sense of entitlement and philosophy that unless a ritual is cast at maximum difficulty with all the bells and whistles, it is not worth casting. While there may be some logic to same (scrolls are a...

Yes. Portability and (presumbly) exclusive use has value.

Ultimately, this will be a local chapter call based on available resources but it is NOT intended, just like a current Ritual Marshal should not be handling his/her own rituals.

Official- This issue will be discussed by ARC. Personal- For perspective (and to give everyone some behind the scenes)- weapons (foam, latex, etc) and packets (cloth and seed) have two different sets of rules re valid targets and to an extent, hostorically, valid defenses. Back in the day...

See also prior rulings and clarifications re: rendered armor. Unlike most other items, the armor tag is the magic item.

Confusion likely stemmed from people assuming Eric and Mitz would stay together (that whole "married IRL" thing....). To clarify- Meg's group is as detailed above. Nemesis and friends is currently me, Paul, Eric, Hoyce, Kelly, Dustin, and possibly one or two more. Looks like both groups each...

Just paid to PC, playing Joshua. Nemesis and Friends crew is growing, can we please snag Wyvern?

I know it's short notice, but I'll be hosting an unofficial "Getting ready to Playtest/2.0 conversion/etc" shindig this coming Saturday (9/22) for anyone interested. We will answer questions, help players rebuild characters for both the upcoming playtest (and hopefully official 2.0 next...

Oversight. At the time the current meditate language was written, there were no non-spell scholarly skills.

This appears to be being misinterpreted as it applies to the "dead" example. The second clarification was re: possessions and does not change the language re: interuption in the first. ARC will discuss re: other timers that would not interrupt (stun, weakness, etc) while OOG.

I found it useful to make a latex backing about two-three times the size of the gem(s). My experience is that a downward pointing triangle is the best re-contact points near the hairline and avoiding furrowed brows/raised eyebrow issues). It takes a little more work re: matching the skin...
