I thought he was in Corvis looking into the arson of the church? The faculty of the University are a pretty snobby lot, and it would be difficult to just come in and start teaching. It's a much more closed system than universities are today, built around private clubs, fraternal orders and...

I do care, and this actually prompts me to mention the first IC posting. I'd like to start the adventure in true pulp fiction fashion (the genre, not the movie) and begin in the middle of a story already in progress. I don't know if this will help you, but the first scene will begin with all...

Make it +3, since Iron Will et al, all are +2, but don't have a use limitation. It can only be used once per day, right? I don't have CD in front of me at the moment. Go ahead, be all Bauhaus.

In one word, yes. Yes, any person who choses Angellia as his/her patron receives the extra bonus language, which you would choose from your regular ethnic bonus languages. Not being a martial ascendant, she doesn't have her own favorite weapon, so she'd defer to Morrow. His favorite is the...

We have three PCs up on the Rogue's Gallery thread. Woo-hoo! Keep on truckin'!!! :)

Average hit poins for the d10 hit die is actually 5.5, plus 1, so it should be 10 + 6.5 + 6.5 = 23 hp. Flat-footed AC should be 15, since armor counts. Ranged attack bonus is also +3. This knowledge skill doesn't exist in my game. If you want to know how to act among the upper classes, that's...

At first glance he looks good, Bobitron! I'll go over him with my fine-toothed d20 comb this evening.

Even if you are a cleric, you don't have to pick a patron ascendant. Doing so means that you seriously strive to emulate the ascendant's (or scion's) example. As a reward, you get a little bonus, depending on which one you pick. Clerics get an additional bonus from their ascendant, and must...

I also would be interested, but only as a player for now. I'm in a tabletop Ars Magica game (set in Spain) at the moment, plus I'm finishing running a D&D game, and am about to start a PBP Iron Kingdoms game, so I'm a little busy at the moment :) As for my magus character, I would love to...

Yes, that is correct. Only non-humans get racial ability modifiers.

I also like this idea. As you're starting at third level, I'll say that you can have one. Pay for it as if it were a normal masterwork weapon. And here's some encouragement to everyone to put up their characters in the Rogue's Gallery thread...

The university itself would not be a good place to learn about being a warcaster, as it is strictly academic. It's not like Unseen University, as much as we'd like it to be (less apes). The only place you could train as a warcaster would be with a national army, or with a mercenary company...

First of all, Congratulations Slip!!!!! Wow, triplets, that's wonderful. A friend of mine just had twins, and she and her husband are basically getting no sleep at night, since they were both underweight and had to be woken up to be fed every two hours. Good luck with that wonderful addition...

I'm setting this adventure a few months after the end of the events covered in the Witchfire Trilogy. If you missed it, I have more background back in this thread (on page 1 or 2, I believe). The exact conditions in Corvis are actually a product of the actions of my gaming group. The war...

I'll sign you up as an alternate. Let's be in touch if you have any inspirations and/or ideas!

I thought I'd post more about the current state of Corvis. Maybe that will give y'all ideas about your character backgrounds and motivations. Corvis is not a pretty place to be at the moment. Only a few months ago (during Longest Night), it was attacked by a horde of shambling thralls. Then...

You don't NEED one, I'm just curious about how the rules work on in play. You should play whichever character you would enjoy playing the most. With no-one in the party interested in Mechanika, I'll just leave that part of the setting out. And regarding rogues, their skill selection gives...

One thing which might help you make the final choice, Bobitron, is to think about why each of these characters might want to come to work for Pendrake in Corvis. I think they're all interesting characters, although skills-wise they are all represented in the group already. Any interest in...

I know I already OK'd Devyn's masterwork armored greatcoat, but I think I'm going to reverse myself on that. Since you already don't need armor proficiecy to use it, and get an armor bonus, plus damage reduction, I'm going to rule that you can't get rid of the -1 ACP for the armored greatcoat...

Are you familiar with the Iron Kingdoms setting, Bobitron? I find that the more you can tailor your character (in concept and background) to the details of this particular campaign setting, the more it helps ground the story in this particular reality. If you're not well versed, or don't have...
