Thanks everyone for your replies. To me, the explanations in the rulebook aren't clear enough, so I just wanted to see what other people thought as to the effects of this skill as well as the actions required by the associated Perception skill check that should accompany the sense surroundings...

I still have some difficulty understanding how Sense Surroundings (application of the Use the Force skill) works. Can anyone please help me resolve the following example? 1) A jedi who has access to Sense Surroundings as part of Use the Force skill, enters a room which is in total darkness. The...

There's quite a few Puertoricans lurking around these boards... myself included, ;)

I've also been considering Spell level +1 in d6, for burn. E.g. cantrips (0 level) do 1d6, 1st level spells do 2d6... I've been also trying to come up with a system for casters aiding each other. Perhaps as a regular assisted skill check, in which the assistant rolls spellcasting vs DC 10, and...

Hello all! Wulf: any updates on the GT magic document you were working on? ETA? Got my Visa ready... ;) HeapThaumaturgist: if I recall correctly, you were using some interesting variants on GT magic system, with a good dose of CoC D20 spells... Any new ideas on the subject (or if you care to...

Thanks for all the replies! 1) I downloaded the errata as soon as I found it, which I think led to my confusion, hence the original question. Since the errata corrects the fact that spell burn does not increase with caster level, then changing the burn die from 'standard' d6 (2-skull option) to...

Sure, but increased odds of rolling a 7 or an 8 ;) Seriously, though, with INT 18, there is still a 50% chance of getting burn with a d6. That increases to 63% with a D8, and maximum burn per die can be as much as 4! Or am I missing something? :confused: Is there any other benefit to...

Hi! First of all, I'd like to thank Wulf Ratbane for this wonderful product! I just got my copy of Grim Tales yesterday and I already love it to death. I shall advise all 7 players in my group to purchase a copy ASAP! In regards to the magic system (which really rocks) I have a couple of...

Mortepierre: I would be really interested in reading your changes to the BOTR Holy warrior classes (updated to 3.5). If you've done any writeups on the subject, please post them. (And please don't tell me they're in French! I'd hate to have to dig up my old high-school Spanish/French...

Well, thanks for your interest. Here's the link to the first part: http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=43340 And the second part: http://www.enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=61058 Hope you enjoy! This is updated up to session 11 of our game. We just finished playing...

Hi! First of all, Mortepierre, I must say congratulations on a job well done! You've really got me hooked to your SH. You have a truly refined writing style and it is really an enjoyable read, both for its rich storyline and for its excellent grammar and syntax. Storytelling truly is a gift...

Dear Mr. Mearls and Mr. Ratbane: There's really no need to compete. You see, that's why God invented credit cards... I WANT BOTH BOOKS! NOW! :) Looking forward to Iron Lore in August. I do hope you put it out on PDF as well as Hardcover. And Mr. Ratbane? Since you've already put out some...

OOOps! That's right. Wrath of Fenris should be Transform Animal 2. Thanks. How about transform blade of grass to staff? Does it need the Deanimate enhancement? Is a blade of grass plucked from the ground considered alive, or is it dead, having been torn from its root? This makes a difference...

A few spells from old (but good) fantasy novels... Hi! First of all, congratulations on a job well done to RangerWickett for a great book. Much improved from the original. And congrats on the graduation. Good luck on the job hunt situation. AND get to work on that Lycean Arcana. My credit card...

On second reading, I think you're right. Most buff spells are cast before combat or at the beginning, so I guess it makes sense. Thanks! Eloy
