    Magic Culture: Celestial and Earth

    Summon, wait five days, battle Control, Extend Battle Magic? Man that's a lot of trouble to go through for a pet. And you'd only get one at a time. What a lot of resources. I'll add it to my notes. Of terrible things. To never do.

    Get me a biata and mystic wood elf who want to chat, I guess.

    Magic Culture: Celestial and Earth

    Even that just uses whatever free-floating bodies or spirits happen to be around the area... Truly ethical necromancy has to be consensual. Transform to Greater or bust. Uh. I mean. I'm not going to write my thesis on Greater Undead being Earth golems with bad press, whaaat? Haha. Anyway. How...

    Magic Culture: Celestial and Earth

    I mean, part of the problem is that you're not really using permanently dead bodies. There's very little that's widely available that can be done with a permanently dead body. The problem is that you need a living person or a dying person, and either way someone's probably still using that...

    .10 - Unintended Consequences of Targeting Rules

    But that's not the only thing you can do with formal ranks, while the only thing you can do with Wear Extra Armor is... Well... Not that @MondayMcGee can ever get armor through high magic anyway unless she race changes first...

    The highest-level PCs also aren't necessarily the owners.

    Favorite Moments - January 2018 Weekend Event

    Also: Watching the green and yellow sections of the battle run like clockwork Second-ever PC resurrection going well, and first failed (NPC) resurrection. Deciding how I felt about failing resurrections All of the ritual magic Saturday afternoon, from facilitating (and super grudgingly not...

    0.10 - Takeout Abilities: Are they needed?

    Thank you, Designated Earth Blade Recipient #1 (temporary reassignment from #2). :| Maybe part of the reason I don't mind takeout effects so much is that it doesn't take much to just knock me into bleedout anyway.

    0.10 - Takeout Abilities: Are they needed?

    I liked the proposal of Throat Strike (though not an actual throat strike) as a kind of Fighter Silence. Or like Garotte if you're sneaky-and-melee. I mean, on the other hand, not that it's hard to take me (~20 Elf Scholar) down with damage. One arrow from @Avaran will do it if I don't have a...

    [0.10] Constant Damage Scaling

    I couldn't disagree more. I think the game would seem a lot less consistent and have much less story and depth to it if we lost the tales and lessons from the 15- and 20-year characters. Most of the high-level PCs I know are more than willing to use their power and their knowledge to help the...

    Nothing is universally morally wrong. There is no such thing as a moral absolute, only widespread cultural biases. :| So uh, takeout effects...

    0.10 - Takeout Abilities: Are they needed?

    That'd be great. My Stone Elf would never memorize a Cure Light again. Just like a Charm but without all the problems of maintaining a veneer of friendship. Perfect.

    0.10 - Takeout Abilities: Are they needed?

    I like takeout effects. I like the sense of urgency, I like being able to throw them and get myself quickly out of a bind (well not a Bind, but you know), I like that most of them seem to be relatively rare (when cards are built in a balanced fashion), and that most of them have a variety of...

    [0.10] Constant Damage Scaling

    I really think your ECL conflicts can be way more readily addressed with staff and other player awareness of their roles than with widespread statting, @MondayMcGee (maybe not the rits). I don't think it's "wrestling the system" at all to have, for instance, the lower-level PCs on a stealth mod...

    0.10 - Weakness: To Nerf, or Not to Nerf?

    ...yeah? I mean yeah, that would probably turn out pretty badly?
