Trying to make sure I get this straight before commenting. I think I have it all just mulling it over.

One question was whether a cantrip spell actually takes a character's action for the round. I thought about it and one of the PCs read through the entry on cantrips, We left it that it would push back his att a phase for now but I would like commentary from others on what they think about it( hint ...

Not to intrude on the conversation but my group does use the core rules initiative system. I only changed the movement slightly to reflect more options.

I looked through ERP, the FAQ and the forum and couldn't find these questions...so if they've been answered before I apologize in advance. :) 1- Page 25, Simultaneous Attacks: The text says, "Handle opting for a simultaneous action as an extra, free attack for the defender. However, once the d...

6 sessions and counting. All players present. PCs in town for 2 days healing up, replenishing arrows, Paladin/Ranger kept the Goblin Kings Greatax and got it repaired at the local smithy. Now its back to a +4 Po-Harm. PCs level to second, Only the paladin/knight actually got his spell (Temple of Dan...

I had a sit down with my players last night and they seem to like the game (though I admit we haven't finished our read through) enough to give it a playtest. I'm still combing the rules to make sure I'm getting everything and so far, it's not as rough as some made it sound. Though I admit I still ...

Armor, yes, if wearing it. Weapons, no.

Well that would have been an Oops on my part if they had been wearing armor...Thankfully the fodder wasn't!

Hmmmm, if that last fireball had hit PCs and not the door: the mystic warriorgoes down, and the rander gets to fight 3-4 hile hurt. ie dies. So yes the tactics saved the player group. The giblins were just too many. If they had been able to attack en masse, then a party wipe would be certain. Oh ye...

I'm very curious to know how it stacks up with the CS system... I was working up the numbers for this battle and I see that the Goblin that was on the wiki site is listed as a CS 7 when by the book it should be a 10 (1d6 melee + 1d4 ranged =CS 10). With this in mind the battle listed above was 114 ...

In the meantime, there is a taste of the world of Ainereve in the core rules. It's a pretty broad setting, with not too much emphasis on history or local specifics. Although much detail exists if wanted, the book will turns more toward story, flavor and characters, used as building blocks for whate...

You got it..Session Number 5! All players are at the game. One player had minor pool loss due to previous encounter. The PCs decide to have the paladin/knight ready his bow. The mystic warrior and the paladin/ranger decide to hold the doorway together this time against the advancing host. They start...

Pointing those points into an Extra Spell Action would only reduce the potential power and effectiveness of each spell. Why? If 6 CP are spent, wouldn't they have the full MRV of their Arcanum tree for each spell? Those points could be applied to a primary magical ADC to increase overall effectiven...

Rereading the thread, How about Willpower being used as Armor versus spells? How about just Harm ones? Tap self: Can not be used to heal. Question: Can is be used to boost Spell Heal? Can it boost Arcane focus? If one were to go this way...I would say resistance for harm spells only because semanti...

You can split Harm spells. Allowing it for other Effects is a good idea. Oops, I forgot about that. I do have a question or statement regarding it though. It says you drop the lowest die when casting against a single target but if you split the attack do you still drop it? Since the lowest die woul...

Two suggestions came out of session four that I forgot to mention:

1. New advantage called Extra Spell Action: Works similar to Extra Weapon Attack at same cost.

2. Split spell casting: Works like Split attacks do.

Any thoughts on game balance harm?

OK, cool. So a spellcaster can have any number of spells on scrolls, grimoires, spellbooks, etc. But they can only use their full specializations and masteries on the spells that they "know". Correct? Yeah, I believe so. But I am kind of fuzzy on how many they "know". I am clear...

Maybe but why tempt fate?

Short session since a major battle loomed at the end and we were down a player. Went over the previous sessions discussions( split attacks, Extra Weapon Att, etc). Party was checking out the room we left them in last time. While checking the curtained alcoves, One of the PCs spotted a figure dartin...

If a spell is cast from a scroll, does it disappear from the scroll? I would say "No" since it does not appear to be specifically mentioned in the book. The negatives of only using your arcanum die and having to have the power source spec are enough restrictions as far as I am concerned. :)
