    Locks

    If I could, I believe you are looking for a locksmith, not a blacksmith. While a blacksmith might forge the iron parts, there's an entire craft behind making efficient locks. Joseph Smith, Master Blacksmith

    Alliance 2.0 Playtest Weekend (Sept 14-16)

    I have a question. I fully intend to rewrite my character in a way that does not resemble his current build when 2.0 hits. I can see both the benefit of rewriting him as his current build for the purposes of playtesting the system, and also the benefit that I would have building him as a...

    [.11] Time to Get a New Life

    I understand they are designed to be parallel. The social expectations are not parallel is my point. If you had to have say, Healing Arts to use a potion, they'd be more parallel. My example was to show how the social expectation ruins the parallel, and why it isn't important to mirror power in...

    [.11] Time to Get a New Life

    I like that solution, but only if the healer has no Life spells currently in memory. I don't want to see that solution abused for cheap Life spells after a character has crossed that threshold. So Life becomes the "get him up right now" power and Bargain becomes the "at least he won't die, but...

    [.11] Time to Get a New Life

    I don't think it adds that problem at all. There is an expectation that we have to mirror Celestial and Earth magic as much as possible, but we don't treat them the same. We treat Celestial as a DnD-style wizard. She has many paths to choose, and she ultimately decides her playstyle through...

    [.11] Time to Get a New Life

    I think the spell gets you from Dead to Not Dead Yet, which is a step in the right direction. Dunno if you've played a low level healer in Chicago, but a friend of mine and my fiance have, and the feeling is to get a couple of people up from bleed out then wait for Remem and stay out of the...

    [.11] Time to Get a New Life

    Yeah, but the idea behind adding the effect is supposed to rectify the pressure on Earth Casters to prepare Life and only Life. Or for low level casters to not be "competent" until they have their capstone ability. Or for character death not to become rampant with the removal of a bunch of...

    [.11] Time to Get a New Life

    Seconded. Maybe a lower level Earth spell that helps people not die, say as long as the caster keeps roleplaying healing (like rping first aid). At the end of that time, their count starts over. Make it a 3rd or 4th level spell. Something rather low that isn't broken. Caster is "out of the...

    Scroll question

    Erm... there are LCO 9th level scrolls possible in each chapter I have visited. Just a note that they aren't in the RAW, but are in play. -JT

    Lookin' for a Destroy Magic scroll!

    Hey Lord Silp. I have a DFM scroll tied to Wayside available. This dreaming seems older, so let me know if you're still looking. -Joseph Smith

    To anyone who can help!

    I got this. The humanity angle isn't going to play. Rufus, you flaccid garbage-tending sh*t-show of a failed man. Your pain wants to be validated, right? Want people to know how you feel everyday? Make an impact? That's one cowardly act. That is true failure. Man up and fix what you've caused...

    To anyone who can help!

    (Joseph's dreaming voice doesn't waver, but you can feel it inside. Something is very wrong.) Someone please handle this. I can't right now. I just...can't. -Joseph Smith

    Short Sword Found

    Yeah, that'd be Saro's right? Also that two-handed sword is eminently magical. So much so that I've never seen its like. My assumption is that it's in the hands of the head slaver we failed to assassinate. So that's going to be interesting. -Joseph Smith

    Best Roleplayer (June 8-10)

    Ilarion, hands down. Our group was looking for mushrooms and came upon his tent. With some marshal-style notes on the outside, we were sure it was some plot thing. As we entered, a naked arm came out wildly swinging "2 Normal". After we murdered the "NPC" we opened the door to find Ilarion. A...

    Eh, we used the lights, too, when moving around.

    Best NPC Interaction (June 8-10)

    Best interaction actually wasn't mine. It was Banradi and one of Travis's NPCs with Radi explaining that he rotated the Borderlands using the Obelisk so that it attached in a different way. The NPC's reaction was priceless. It's easy to get cavalier about really big stuff like that, and I got...
