The phrase "Prepare to die!" is an out-of-game call, so you may use PTD skills while Silenced. Under the Silence description, ARB page 123: "The player must still call out the damage points his or her weapons inflict if combat ensues while the spell is in effect, as well as any out-of-game...

Hi Conag, it' good ta hear from you again. Dis sounds just like da sorta job we're good at. We'll be dere soon as we get rallied. Is dere anythin' particular we gotta remember ta bring? Squire Fiona PS If I sound kinda different it' nothin' ta worry about. Dere was an incident in Wayside but...

Alternatively, they could state that an aspect must be specified at Logistics when X abilities are activated.

Friends, Our mission to rid the world of the Bonesmith was a success; his clan no longer threatens the people of Zephyr Bluff. Subsequently we were granted an audience as agreed; though those present did not see eye to eye we nonetheless parted without overt animosity. After enjoying the...

Thank you for making that exception, Scribe Hillbrand. We will ensure to follow those restrictions if any are cast. Squire Fiona

Thank you, Keladry. That is certainly something to keep in mind. Perhaps if we're lucky we can find some way to leverage for help narrowing down our search. --Squire Fiona Squire to Duke Carnifax

I will bid: 11g on the Channel 3g on the Race Reaver --Fiona PS If I recall correctly, the "King of Birds" is more properly known as Goldcrest.

Good point--if you can ID in 15 seconds, being able to do it in combat would definitely be a useful distinction. I personally perceive 1 minute as just slightly too long for me to try to ID in combat--partly because it's longer than a bleed out count. Ok, that must have been an interesting...

1) Remind me to stay the heck away from those goblins! ;) Yep, that's basically the idea. To simplify the arbitrary timers I suppose you could go with: --RW lets you ID in 1 minute somewhere safe --Herbal Lore/Healing Arts lets you ID alchemy/potions (respectively) anywhere --Mastery lets you...

1) the goblins can't explode you because you're in a circle 2) if you screw up you backlash the ritual, so there's a meaningful penalty 3) you've spent a lot of build to be able to cast that Obliterate, meaning you've devoted time and effort to learning how to not be distracted by exploding...

Because traps and armor would be pretty useless if you couldn't use them in combat, whereas identifying is basically a bookkeeping step that isn't intended to be a useful combat ability. On an in-game level, you identify potions by smell and color, which would be difficult to do outside when a...

Back slightly to the topic of the read-write skill... Starting with the assumptions: 1: We need a skill to effectively replace Read-Write that is useful without devaluing the crafting skills (specifically, potions and alchemy). 2: Spending 1 minute per item to ID potions/elixirs is crazy...

And Render Indestructible, I should hope? ;)

He comes to tempt the children with his pretty, shiny toys, He comes to prey upon the greed of little girls and boys. He comes for naughty children, those who cheat and steal and lie, He comes to take them far away where no one hears them cry. So don't allow the wooden man to catch you...

Lord Oakheart, The Adventure Capitalists can contribute some reagents. I will check our stores to see if I have any of the types you're missing. Fiona

Assuming Alavatar meant to keep them in the same school as the effects they remove, I would posit that you would want to keep the spell names for clarity/not having to change the names of the spells, eg: Cleanse--I cleanse you of Curse Release--I release you from Binding Awaken--I awaken you...

I like option 3 "I Cleanse you of Curse," but there's a good argument for option 1, changing the incants so all curses including Cleanse are the same, eg: With the power of Curse I: --Cleanse you --Weaken you --Silence you --Paralyze you --??? Destruction doesn't work with this because the...

If you look at the new text added to the 0.8 doc that I quoted above, Parry and other weapon defenses will work against either Weapon or Poison qualifiers, at least in this version of the playtest. We don't know how it'll end up in the final rule set, of course.

The first batch of IBGAs is out. The rest will be sent by Thursday. Thanks everyone!

In v0.8 the following text was added: "Some defenses – like Parry and Riposte or other weapon-specific defenses – have changed to specify that they work against any attack with either the “Weapon” qualifier or the “Poison” qualifier (only if the attack is made with the physical delivery). This...
