Whirtlestaff's Wizards' Academy Revisited, OOC01

[Leif]

Leif,
I created an entry in RG for Max for Spells Usually Memorized during Adventure. Is there still time to memorize before we leave the Inn?

Now what kind of a DM would I be if I didn't let my wizards memorize spells? I think we can assume that spellbook study has become an integral part of everyone's morning routine, unless otherwise stated, barring unusual circumstances.

Spell Preparation

I'm assuming that you all attended to spell preparation before coming down to breakfast. Once we get more into the action of the adventure, things like that will be much more important, but for this time, at least, I'm not going to worry too much about it. Just don't go changing your memorized spells in the middle of a day unless you've taken the necessary time for rest and study. But you all know that, don't you?

 

[rossrebailey]

Yep, understood

 

[Scotley]

Tylara will have memorized her standard selection of adventuring spells.

She has a magical darkwood buckler which will give a 5% spell failure chance. In any non-combat situation she would slip it off before attempting a casting. I'll make that clear in the RG.

If thistledown padded armor, an elven specialty from Races of the Wild ever becomes available Tylara would get a suit. No spell failure chance, but only 1 point of armor protection.

of course we know that! *RBG*

I left Capizzio's spells as is because i felt that was a good travel combo for him.

You can make it as clear as you want in the RG, but if you don't say, IC, that she is slipping it off when she had been wearing it, then she will still have the 5% asf chance. Sorry, but that's not the sort of thing that you can cover with a blanket "but I said that she always does this" kind of statement.

Okay, fair enough. I thought it might be reasonable in non-critical situations, but I will be specific when the situation arises. I don't expect she would be wearing the buckler in the lab and such anyway. I will address the presence or absence of the buckler as needed. Thank you for the clarification.

Well, hey, I don't want to be a hard-ass about it. Maybe it would make more sense to assume that T is not using the buckler unless you specifically say so? Or, to ask it another way: while creeping down a dungeon corridor, is default mode with or without buckler? (Unless told otherwise, I'll assume that when in a town, in a library doing research, or in the laboratory, T foregoes the shield. Is that cool witchyoo?)

That is perfectly cool with me. Tylara will keep the bucker hanging from her belt when out and about under relatively safe conditions and hanging on the wall in her room while at school. While in the inn such as last night she would not wear it, but she'll have it on her person while boating. If I want her to wear it on her arm I shall post such.

Gotcha!
