Ahhh... which is why the Necromancer career has +CHA and [social] skills. Would that be CHA vs MENTAL DEFENSE, or CHA vs WIL contest, or would it depend on the NPC being charmed? A minion would be vs MENTAL but a more significant NPC would be vs WIL? I can imagine a charismatic Necromancer...

Just to clarify, in this scenario a character has Leather Armour SOAK 4 and is buffed with Abjure Metal Withstanding +SOAK 2 Bonus vs Metal. This gives a possible total of 6 SOAK depending on the damage type. When hit by a metal sword infused with fire damage (giving two damage types, Fire &...

Can Summoned Semi-sentient creatures (animals, zombies etc) shrug off a charmed condition, or does the effects of the summon skill prevent it from happening? I ask as the summoning in the example spells list doesn't include any cost or mention of persistence. If you have a killed a human NPC...

I have a couple of question about infusions spells vs abjuration. Can Infuse be used on bows and other ranged weapons in order for their ammunition to gain the infused damage type? If a metal weapon is infused with fire, will Abjure Metal Shielding (+DEFENCE) still be effective against it, or...

Are career exploits such as Artillery (Battle Mage), Maniacal Cackle (Witch/Warlock) and Song (Minstrel) indiscriminate, or can they be discerning and target just friends or foes?

I've been running games using the lesser, otherwise players could throw in a random skill that they are good at to gain more dice.

Can the minstrel choose to restrict the condition to allies or enemies? Is the Song a single action, or does it have to been repeated each round (like concentrating on a spell) to continue the effect? Can it just be a vocal [performance] or does it require an instrument? Does it only ever add...

In the OLD rules a Sap is described as "… a small, blunt object used to render a target unconscious. It does little damage, and that damage is non-lethal (stunning) damage, and it is a weak melee weapon, but if the target is unaware of the attack he must made a Difficult [16] END check or become...

This is on another thread... https://www.enworld.org/threads/now-gun-fu-and-chi.660026/ To quote Morris "Not as written, no. But it’s your game! "

In the NEW rules... "The DEFENSE penalty from armor is reduced by the number of dice you have in that armor skill. For example, a character with 3 ranks (2d6) in heavy amor reduces the heavy amor penalty by 2." I cannot find this rule in NOW or the draft version of OLD. Is this an omission, a...

Just reading up on Deadly Strike in the OLD 1.2 Draft. The prerequisites "requires AGI or STR 5+". Should this also include INT for characters who use Intuition based ranged attacks? Also, the text for Deadly Strike includes the line "By default, any character can trade attack dice to...

In the OLD rules for Create Force the rules state... "Force (6 MP). Force objects exist both materially and ethereally, affecting incorporeal creatures. They count as forcefields for determining stats." ... but I cannot find any other reference determining the stats in the OLD rules. I assume...

The Spell Components section (was between the Transform and Spell List) is missing. This included metals, components, gemstones and alchemy. Has this been dropped from the system?

In the NOW rules "You may use your Chi attribute in place of another attribute whenever you are using your martial arts skill to make an attribute check" If a PC has the Gun Fu career, can they use CHI with the Pistols skill too?

I have a quick question concerning the Young and Old exploits. Does the dice roll have to be declare exploding or careful before rolling, or can it be declared after the roll. I've been assume it can be declared after, as it's a once per day exploit.

Wouldthe following spells be considered legal? I've not bothered with ranges, areas, MP costs, as it's the ideas behind the spells that are important. Pretzel's Defence Transform Wood. Area effect that warps incoming arrows. Givens a +1 to ranged DEFENSE Bat Out of Hell Transform Beast &...

1 - The Necromancer's Necromantic Lore exploit does not include any Compel or Enchant skills. Is a summoned undead automatically bound to obey the summoner? 2 - Can Summon Undead be used on an existing summoned undead? Would this be a skill contest against the original summoner? What...

A magicalimplement is subsumed into the casters form when a caster transforms into an aminal. Can the magic pool of the implement still be accessed whensilent casting?

Wow. Nice. I didn't even think of that one :)

Question 1: Melee and Ranged attack damage can be increased by adding the appropriate skill for the attack. For example, a character with 2 points in the Bows skill will do 2d6+2 with a Longbow. Is this applicable to magical damage attacks using Evoke? Would a character with Evoke 2 do 1d6+2...
