Remember that all familiars have Improved Evasion, and take only half damage on a failed save (and none if they make it). Thus if your wizard can take a fireball, his familiar will also survive. .Ziggy

Or you could make your clothes magical using Craft Magic Arms and Armor. These clothes have (roughly) the same cost as Bracers of Armor, and most magi don't use the armor slot anyway. .Ziggy

Hi Lazybones, I'm stille here. Looking forward to the last big fight, a Ghour is a big fight for a party at medium levels. And another NPC bites the dust, but should have guessed that from the description: ...should have removed those bloodstains, a red shirt (or cuirass in this case) is...

Minor nitpick: Close range, not Touch :) Still no Persistent Haste though. .Ziggy

I allow it in my game, both for PC's and NPC's :) It has been used frequently, the PC's main use is to make a coordinated move into unknown territory. And it is also used for charges against shield walls, doors etc. IMHO it works seamlessly with the system, and creates very vivid scenes. .Ziggy

I'm got mixed feeling about Ars Magica. The setting is brilliant, and I've seen no other RPG that come even close to Ars Magica for magic centered campaigns. OTOH the system breaks down in a couple of places: - The spontanous magic system is *too* flexible. When everybody gets a decent score...

Reaper has the best human(oid) figures, hands down. Their monsterfigures are IMHO more uneven, with some very good (e.g. the fire elemental) and some pretty bad (I was especially unimpressed by their medium dragons). GW is much more "cartoonish", with exaggerated stances and expressions. I...

Finally ! I wonder where this adventure is going, but time will tell... .Ziggy

Hmm, that true - I forgot that angle. I guess it's her lucky day after all. .Ziggy

Thanks again! One of my players will be disappointed, there is a wand of fireballs on a dead Orc nearby, and a desperat need for more firepower :) .Ziggy

Thanks Henrix, I guess that settles it. I don't have the DMG with me, is that quote from the section on wands, or in the general section on usng magic items ? .Ziggy

Hi! We have always identified wands before uing them, but looking trough the SRD, it states: Looking at spell triggers, it states: There is no explicit statement requiring idetification of the wand, but this might be stated somewhere else ? The question is therefore, can you just point it...

Re: Instigation I must throw my weight in behind Larry here. I'm an invariant LARP'er (1-2 times a year), while I do "tabletop" RPGs almost every week. But the immersive experience you can get on a LARP is just awesome. Personally I go for the longer events, with 100-150 people, minimum 3...

That is just *brilliant* Did you make it up yourself, or is it a quote ? .Ziggy

Hi Lazybones ! You write excellent fight scenes, IMHO the best among the story hours here. It's awesome how you are able to transform the ebb and flow of the battle into words, it's almost like being part of the battle. I was seriously worried about the party this time, a party of Ogres with...

Posy, please come back, we miss you :( .Ziggy

Now it's getting *really* interesting... Big fight coming up :) Ziggy

AFAIK longbows dominate the finding from England. Of course one must use such finds with care, as most are from graves where the most impressive weapons would be placed. I'm also pretty sure that most arrowheads found are for hunting heavy game (probably also includes your neighbours :)). I'll...

There is a common misconception that longbows were not used in prehistoric times. There are several findings of longbows in England dated from BC 5300 to BC 3500. These are self bows, made of a single stave, and full size (although a bit smaller than the most extreme longbows). Arrowheads found...

PhD in Computer Science Or more precisely a "Doktor Ingeniør", which is an engineering oriented degree with roughly the same requirements as a PhD. I spent 22 years in school (1975-97), and boy was I glad when I finally got out :) .Ziggy
