Something that doesn't get talked about as much is that every time your character gains power, by design, the world becomes more dangerous... for everyone else. I'm going to use Tantarus here as a microcosm example (because he's already engaged in the discussion, but this isn't personal). It's...

I feel this is more a failure of what is "supposed" to be taking out these creatures being circumvented by the various enhanced blades. Undead/Elementals are supposed to be the time for a healer/celestialist to shine with channeling or healing/evocation. Instead, various blade enhancements get...

I'd say the flaw would stay, as it cannot be transferred and you can "extend" a flaw by adding more ritual magic. It's only when it has zero rituals on an item that the flaw dissipates. "Empowerments do not count as “Rituals” for the purpose of Ritual Slots." P. 153 ARB - I'd argue that...

Here's my PC input: 1.) The low level game is much better due to the armor changes. I could stand up to a few big bad weapon hits designed for epic level characters as a dedicated tanky low level character. 2.) The high level game is a lot more focused on resource management for everyone...

10 gold. Done and dusted. Dragons know how many I burned through spell crafting recently, and I'll likely need to again.

It kind of is though. Technically, a player who travels extensively *cough Luke Bluewolf* shouldn't even get downtimes a lot of the time what with all the travel they do. However there's a lot of plot handwavium that happens, because Alliance isn't a simulation game, it's a story. I know I...

High Ogres, Sylvanborn and pre-Oathsworn were all integrated into a society based around the Sylvanborn vale that was linked to the magics of the land. There was also a smaller population of pre-Oathsworn were in a set of southern isles. The vale Oathsworn swore oaths to defend Fortanis at the...

- The Panthergaunt Party - Fighting the Silver Wolves, Fat Ponies and Luke Bluewolf as a terrifying undead. - Afterwards on the retreat as Polare just dumped a bunch of Magic Storm flame into my much dumber harasser undead. - Clan Talix negotiations. Thorg appreciates people who want to kill...

A momentous day indeed. I 100% with no quibbles agree with @Draven . ;)

Hello people of New Wagonslist, Also, I realize that in my understanding of the law I have made a small oversight. During the special election, only a consul may run for Senator. The only consul I know of in New Wagonslist is Jothi. Should you seek to run for the Senate, you would need to...

Hello people of New Wagonslist, There has been much discussion of the decision to stay in the Imperium and the resulting special election . As rule of law is important, I feel it's important to dispel some confusion about it. There are two items on the agenda, the first being the final...

- Surprising Plot by going through the gate earlier than it was supposed to be open (due to a misunderstanding from the This Week in Aer'Astra post. Oops.) Then of course the ONE lair card we look at is an Ambush. - Spellcrafting. SO MUCH SPELLCRAFTING. I mean, that's one of the things I...

There are multiple spells that cannot be made into scrolls or potions at many levels. You cannot make a Ward into a scroll, nor a Banish. You cannot make a Life potion, but neither can you make an Earth Blade potion. These, are by design, spells that the game does not want stockpiled as...

I don't believe there is a ban on them per se, but site rules, and chapter insurance very often disallows them. In addition, there can be concerns over how an animal may act when there is our simulated combat happening. These are the reasons that they're not allowed in Alliance Oregon or...

One of the things I'm coming to realize as 2.0 plot is that a BBG is generally a mistake. A big bad TEAM... now that's where it's at on the field and things get fun as the NPCs start using PC tactics instead of the brute hammer of power.

We'll lower him down on a golden chain Walk him along, John, Carry him along On every inch we'll carve his name Carry him to his bury'n ground General Taylor he's all the go Walk him along, John, Carry him along He's gone where the stormy winds won't blow Carry him to his bury'n ground You'll...

I'm going to avoid veering off into rules design territory here too much, but from a story telling perspective with the rules system we do have, I highly recommend reading the following three articles. They explain why, if you're in a game where there are multiple capstone abilities...

Huh. I couldn't find an appropriate passage either. This may be an artifact of the 1.3 system (and counting is no longer needed), or an oversight. I'm posting this to the inter-marshal forum to discuss and will get a preliminary answer to you as soon as possible.
