    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...

    General crafting and alchemy specific points questions

    Thanks! I think I'm catching on. Let me try another example - does this all look correct? I have alchemy 20 and get 10 crafting points and 20 ability points. Day 1: 2 for globe proficiency, 4 for globe superiority, 6 for effective antidotes, 2 for recycle (turn in 10 paralysis gas for 20...

    General crafting and alchemy specific points questions

    When you buy a production skill, you get 1 crafting point for 2 purchases and 1 ability point for each purchase? For example: Alchemy 20 (I'm trying to build around effective antidote) I get 10 crafting points and 20 ability points. 10 crafting points: I can make 2 antidotes and have 2 points...

    No. And right now we have no leader. If you're comfy bringing it up with me, I will bring it to the team. If not, you can bring it to Tony as GM or any chapter owner (including Tony again if you wanted). As owners of Alliance, Matt and Dave try to stay out of telling chapters how to run games...

    Old school stick jocky in need of advice

    Welcome back :) You'll find leveling up much much faster now than it was 25 years ago. I mean you'll be swinging 5s as a straight fighter pretty quick. I just helped a couple of friends come in game as new fighters. Game 1, 25 build, I would start off with sword and shield (I mean whatever...

    Diversity Committee: Applicants Needed!

    Hi friends :) So I promised another reply, which got delayed by a death in the family. So yeah, examples. I can list a few projects. Our big one is reviewing the rulebook. There are numerous things we would like to change on there. One of the smallest, but really important to me, I think has...
