IMO the single biggest benefit to Channeling is that it gives so much flexibility in how much you want to throw. If I memorize an 8th level Evocation Bolt, I've got a single 40 to throw. That's it, no choices. One shot. If I have 40 points of Channeling Pool to throw, I have a lot of options. If...

I find Channeling to be a great source of sustained "something to throw" throughout the day. Being able to throw 5s and 10s for a long time is equivalent to an archer, with the bonus of being able to switch elements and do damage even if you hit their cloak/shield/what-have-you. The downside of...

Greetings, Alliance players! I've recently had the honor of being approved as the next Alliance Chairperson by the Owners. I greatly appreciate the work done by the prior Alliance Chairs (John, Renee, Michelle, Christina, Ali, and Matt), whose preparation makes my job much easier! I see the...

Also : Remind your friends who haven't played in a while! If they think they might return at some point, get them to convert their tags now while they still can!

This is resolved in the final ARB 2.0 (it's a 1st level spell). -Bryan Gregory ARC

I'm pleased to announce the final 2.0 ARB is now available: https://alliancelarp.com/alliancerulebook.pdf Any further ARB 2.0 rules updates will be made as official errata on the ARC forums. I'm told that this version will be going to print for a paperback ARB shortly. If you have ARB 2.0...

An It must be able to Intercept using their own skills to make use of these magics.

The reason it's not defined as a hard and fast item in the ARB is because it really does depend on the specific situation, chapter, and environment. If someone hits you too hard, it is always OK to call a Hold to let them know (as you note in your item A). Beyond that, how specifically to...

The Red Thorn tribe bids 6 Cows.

The Red Thorns will bid three Dwellings for this paper!

The Red Thorns bid eight Cows!
