[QUOTE="phloog, post: 4046323, member: 59219"] I don't want to hog this board, but I have a bunch of questions...rather than write an essay-length post with them all, I'll try to ask the most important ones first. 1) From my reading of the rules, any spell that is not 'simple' - meaning one spell list, must have at least one MP per list used - - so you can't put any 'cantrip' effects into a complex spell. From this, I gather that a 1st level caster can ONLY cast simple spells with one spell list...is this right? I can't cast spells that cost more than 1 MP, and if I add a second list it becomes complex, meaning EACH needs at least one. Just trying to confirm I understand that. 2) [PLANT] is a creature type....[NATURE] is an element. What is the dividing line between the two...sentience? To impact an apple on a tree, would I use PLANT because it is alive? What if it is off the tree? My current thought is that the apple and the tree would both be NATURE, and that PLANT is restricted to plant creatures that have stats (STR, DEX, etc.) It doesn't seem like they'll ever be another revision, but I know that as a long-time moron I could use a list of examples for each: Plant would include....Nature would include...or maybe a list of a wide variety of example 'things', and what type they would fall into. But I'm sure I just missed a sentence or word somewhere....LRH would be so disappointed. [/QUOTE]
