    Silence and Adept/Spellsword Skills

    Can you use Adept or Spellsword Skills while Silenced? Specifically: Enhanced Strike, Combined Strike, United Blow, etc. Silence says that the target "cannot talk, activate magical items, or cast any spell." However, all of the Adept/Spellsword Skills use the text "expend a spell" rather than...

    Intercept and Killing Blow

    A question came up at our last game: Can you Intercept a Killing Blow? Here's the Beta Rules text for reference (emphasis mine): My call on the field was "Yes", and since you cannot perform a Killing Blow on an unwilling, undisabled target, it effectively interrupted the Killing Blow. I...

    Lumos

    To all those who fight for the future of Sedovia and Aerastria. Last weekend, you probably heard the great screams twice, once Saturday afternoon, and once early Sunday morning. This is due to Lumos resurrecting. It is imperative that Lumos is not killed again. Plans are in the works to deal...

    Carrying Bodies - Targeting of Effects

(ref http://alliancelarp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=16985) As far as I can tell there are two contradictory rulings possible...

    Some New PC questions

    Hi all! I'm Brian Johnson, I was an NPC at the March event. I liked it so much I decided to come back as a PC, and I've convinced one or maybe two of my friends to come with me. So, I have a short list of newbie questions, mostly on OOG logistics. 1) I'm starting a Stone Elf (I kinda expect...
