Evil Mastermind posted:The problem with Possibility Points is that there's no easy way to get them. You only get more at the end of an "Act" in an adventure, and even then it's maybe 3 or 4 points. An Act in an official module was four or so scenes, each of which generally had at least one fight. How does Torg even work? I mean, if I have spend one PP for every 15 minutes of adventuring to fire my laser rifle at a dinosaur man or move in my power armor I just don't see how that works in play. Is the adventure day limited to a couple hours?

Mors Rattus posted:Next time: Characters. Here's 3 of the top of my head. Wolfgang Krieger, highly intelligent and inquisitive german wizard of House Criamon . He's a pretty devout religious man looking to find the link between God and the Gift. Richard Breten, his grizzled sergeant-at-arms (ex-mercenary) and veteran of whatever conflict occurred around that time. Gilles LeBlanc, his mild-mannered but personable steward and chief gopher for village/city supply runs. Syrg Sapphire posted:I don't think anyone ever really explains how these things are made? Maybe it's Power-wrought, but it's just the kind of thing that you only get from the White Tower, and having one without being a Warder is a huge red flag to anyone who knows what it is. The White Tower has a Ter'Angreal that prints out the cloth iirc. edit: yeah here it is http://wot.wikia.com/wiki/Fancloth_ter%27angreal Hipster Occultist fucked around with this message at 03:04 on May 5, 2013 |

I really love how most of 2nd ed psionics is poo poo, except for the few things that are just op as gently caress. That one power that just straight up absorbed all kinetic energy you came into contact with, which you could then expel in a hit meant my psioncist would get ready for battle by falling off of tall objects.

So if Mages can live for centuries in Ars Magicia, how does the game change if the players make it to modern times?

Ugghhh that loving paragraph just gets me no matter how many times I read it. Someone else can beat Chris Fields, I'll take Grau. No jury in the land will convict us.

What exactly is Twilight anyways? Criamon seems to be big on it and I'm not following.

Neat. So unless you die by accident, disease, or violence you'll spend all of time in a crazy psychedelic journey?

If I remember correctly a lot of the good psionics are came in the 2nd edition Dark Sun psionics book. It had the power that just let you straight up absorb up to an infinite amount of kinetic energy, with the one caveat that you had to release it in an attack next round or pay around 5 PSP's per round to hold onto it.

Spoilers Below posted:Well, considering the target audience was the DM's son and the best D&D player ever (the guy literally responsible for Fighters not receiving any special powers or abilities, because Robilar didn't need them), I wouldn't rule out their ability to predict exactly the kind of thing Gygax was going to pull at every twist and turn. I could get behind that, but then Gary and hundreds of others started running it against people who didn't have such luxuries. edit: Lets also not forget that Robliar's player Rob Kuntz played nearly every day in one-on-one sessions and was dripping in powerful magic items, experience, and influence.

You should really do the Dark Sun Psionics handbook next if you're up to the task, it really goes a long way to making a Psioncist an attractive character option.

Mors Rattus posted:That's right! A new book! The Contested Isle is the latest Ars Magica book to be published. It focuses on the Hibernian Tribunal - that is, Ireland. (For those interested, the next book on the publishing schedule is Transforming Mythic Europe, which will be about wizards advancing the social and technological status of the world and how it might happen, as well as the potential consequences. How many other settings give you a book on how to utterly destroy the setting?) Yessss I've always thought that it was kinda weird that a bunch potentially immortal (or at least long-lived) people with the ability to flip the laws of physics the bird never really enact great change upon the world.
