Hey Denver folks! My name is Anthony Mungo (though I go by Tony), and while I don't live here, I had such an amazing time at your game! I have been playing Alliance for a number of years, with my character Squire Raganzi/Cookie currently based out of the Sedovia campaign (Oregon, to answer all...

[Sent across the dreaming] Hello fellow citizens, adventurers, and travelers through Sedovia. I am seeking out a Controlled Spirit Store ritual and Catalyst to place upon myself in the coming year. If anyone has any leads on where I might be able to purchase one, or could pass my message...

It was fun trying to come up with plans to get things, from trying a ton of mundane effects on the snipe to battleplan destroy the chicken, roscoe's ingenious trap plan, and Pablos deft maneuvers through the henhouse. I genuinely enjoyed getting to play with a new team throughout the event...

Yeah, unless we specifically codified what engagement means. If it is too vague, it leads to further clarification and complication in the future. Secondarily it is a new set of rules that player must learn because this one specific ability exists. Any tool that requires it's own special set of...

@Dan Nickname Beshers maybe a gas powered laser level, that requires certification to use :D Secondarily, don't knock nails in with a laser level, go get your hammer! I swear I don't get paid for this comedy. Sorry for the terrible coding but I'm doing this all from my phone on planes...

Again this draws me back to the idea that our rules should attempt to minimize judgment calls on the field due to defined effects. Swarmed will require rules for what is considered engagement (+1 to barrier to entry), when you have to define additional rules just to support a single effect...

Yeah! Making marshalls lives easier is the best. I didn't intend for that to mean that an effect was not on the card, at will, swarmed, whatever the appropriate after statement is for the ability in question should definitely be on the card. If there is a question and it says on the card x...

While I understand your frustration, and I was a part of that cluster, I have been on the same end of multiple other similar situations. If you want to use the swarm effect, feel free, put it on a card, explain it at opening like we do for our reduced, altered, healed calls. Nearly every game I...

Due to the minimal amount of additional spells its a tough decision. Personally as the number of wand charges and static wand damage is no longer reliant on the casters number of columns, I would entertain a pyramid if for nothing other than more weapon shields/Evo 5 bolts as defense poppers...

For what it's worth I understand where Adam is coming from, Swarm encourages exclusionary responses from groups of players. Having witnessed it first hand it goes down exactly like you would imagine, information is passed that when too many people engage the monster, it becomes a major problem...

Through the other post (disarm and mediate) it occurs to me that the idea of Chaining martial skills is handled differently in different chapters. With the removal of PTD and no flurry/powerful blows rules, but the inclusion of oversized shield, we experienced some very face paced combat where...

I understand the intent of what you are saying, and what I'm saying is that it will not be universally interpreted that way unless explicitly stated. We can see that just in this forum where two Marshalls and two owners would make different calls on the same situation (yours and Mythic's based...

@Draven The entire intent of double tapping with any effect is to mitigate stacking additional defenses before resolution. In fact the intent of removing PTD was to stop people from being able to REACT appropriately to imminent danger. Implying that striking a shattered shield on the body and...

Hyperbole: So in your scenario I can just wear shattered shields as armor all around and I no longer need to take fighter skills? Currently if I land a skill on an item that has previously resolved successfully a disarm, shatter, or destroy the person welding the item still takes the effect...

I think it does apply. The idea of throwing your weapon or shield in the air to avoid a disarm is legitimately as similar as spamming a shield with a skill to avoid defenses. A shield being improperly wielded (held while one cannot hold it) is just as valid a target as hitting someone with a...

Just to be clear, the first packet in any storm does not currently give the target the ability to throw 10 damage packets. This would not change irrespective of delivery method. Channel spell allows for swinginga weapon for a spell effect with a magic delivery type. much like Magic storm...

I posted the important part at the end of that thread instead of here by accident, but it's clarified "The Magic Storm spell itself is never thrown to be reflected, absorbed, etc." That is the key part I believe that would keep this from being usable by any of the rituals that allow a spell to...

"The Magic Storm spell itself is never thrown to be reflected, absorbed, etc." That is the key part I believe that would keep this from being usable by any of the rituals that allow a spell to be passed to another source. -Tony

Unless the ritual states otherwise, a good place to check would be in the scroll specific notes.

Were there consideration of also removing the advantages of those size/strength ideals? Specifically with all of the other changes racial dodge no longer seems to fit, while racial resists make much more sense. This ties back to the original ideals as well in that while other races have RP...
