Religion continues to be both the cause of and the solution to much of the Living City's problems. The gaggle of evil cultists seeking the Heart of Bane have mostly been arrested, but the temple of Lliira is facing all kinds of trouble. They managed to win a place on the clerical Circle through their heroic actions in the war, which has led to much bitchiness from followers of Sune and Sharess who think they deserve one as well. Spend a bit more time building yourself up and less trying to cut rivals down and maybe you'll have a chance. They also had to fend off attempted theft during their recent costume ball by one of the several alu-fiends that recently married adventurers. Everyone knew that was a bad idea! But some idiots believed they could be redeemed by the power of love or were just too horny to consider the consequences. Who knows what other problems they'll cause before the city authorities get fed up of it and have to organise something to root them all out. In more positive news, at least one attempt at redemption is working out so far, as a priestess of Talos was persuaded to turn over a new leaf and switch to worshipping Lathander by adventurers rather than simply killing her. Let's hope that's not also a long con that'll lead to further newsworthy events. There is still a fair amount of more secular news though. It looks like there might be an adventure involving an extended underdark trip brewing, and Lord Blacktree is looking for volunteers. Do you think you're tough enough to go without the sun for weeks or months at a time? Or would you prefer to stick closer to home and make the roads safer again, as apparently bandits are proliferating even though the war is over. That's often a problem when you have lots of ex-military people who can't find a regular job. And the wizard's guild is building a new larger facility, which I'm sure will be of great concern to the neighbours. Let's hope it lasts a few years before being blown up by some experiment gone wrong. Even back to business as usual is still pretty busy compared to most places.Living City Q&A: Does Living City use Chance to learn spells & max number knowable by intelligence? (yes)Are multiple enlarge spells cumulative? (no)Can half-elves become crusaders? (if the specific god allows both those things as worshippers, absolutely)Can Prayer buff Thorn Spray (yes, but not as much as you think, as the bonus is per target rather than per thorn)Can priests change deities (yes, but it'll cost them, and their new employer may not trust them for quite some time) Can non-elves cast spells in elven chain? (no)Can Rangers two-weapon fight in Elven Chain (yes)If a polymorphed creature gets pregnant, what species are the offspring? (this is too big a can of worms to deal with, so we're going to ban shapeshifted pregnancies entirely in Living campaigns. Wait until next edition, then you can stack templates to your heart's content in your home games) Do I have to follow racial ability score minimums? (yes) Do druids gain bonus XP for high enough ability scores? (yes)Can multi-class clerics use weapons not normally allowed? (no, no and thrice no!)Can you use multiple links from a chain of silver links in one round? (no)How does multiclassing interact with the Chaos Spell's saving throws? (for now, the better option) If you dual wield a weapon you're specialised in, do both get all the bonuses? (yes, if it's light enough to dual-wield in the first place)What size of weapons can I dual-wield? (two light or one medium & one light. Or a katana & wakizashi because samurai are kewler than everyone else.)Can non-specialty clerics cast the special spells from sourcebooks? (only if we allow specialty priests of that god) Can priests of Moradin craft nonmagical weapons that hurt things only hurt by +1 weapons for the whole team? (no)Can gnomes & dwarves use medium weapons one-handed? (dwarves yes, gnomes no)Can dual-class fighter/clerics improve their punching proficiency further? (yes, but using the skill of both will cost XP until your new class exceeds your old one) Can you still disrupt wizard's spellcasting even if they have a stoneskin up negating the damage? (yes) How can I abuse polymorph other? (in as few ways as possible please) If I'm dropped to negative HP and then healed to positive, can I get straight back in the fight? (no, you need a bit of bed rest first) Can one PC raise another from the dead? (only during the same adventure they died. Otherwise you'll have to pay full market price at the temple.)</blockquote>
