BTW: I am more than happy to help anyone with a character history. Just email or PM me. If anyone would like a preview of the new lore pages, just PM or e-mail me.

I just sent Brad the new lore pages to put up here on the site. They include a book about phanterran history from the dawn of time to about 1000 p.e.w. A pre cataclysm geography book, A book detailing the fall of the kingdom of Silverthorne, misc. documents about culture, and a collection of journal...

Does anyone have a spell idea they would like to post? Then we could go over it here so PCs can have an idea of the sort of things that we as GMs veto or have concerns with. If someone has a spell, start a new thread in this forum or PM me. One spell only please.

The talk on this forum has pretty much revolved around fixing the current rule set, which we need to do, but are there any suggestions for new disciplines?

I'm in favor of stretching out levels 10-20 to about 10-30 and I think we need a definate structure for hero points. I would say one every 2-4 levels after the soft cap.

We were leaning towards arcane as a path way in the beginning. If I remember right, we had problems fleshing out the path. Any ideas for skills beyond the ability to cast? I can't really think of any unless we rethink the metaphysics of casting and break spells up into spell types or something.

True shot needs to remain the way it is for balance sake. If you discount the reload time for a crossbow, I think true shot is right where it needs to be. Think of it not only as the archer steadying his hand and aiming but also waiting for the target to "present" the weak or vulnerable sp...

What are the requirements to research a spell? Ability to cast it plus Sage path? or Just the ability to cast the spell?

Bob,

I'll email you about the crossbow. I am going to a siege weapon/ crossbow tourney this weekend and I'll ask some of the pro arbalists for some suggestions.

Sometimes in a LARP, realism needs to be sacrificed to playabilituy. I would say that if we do not allow arrows to destroy shields we should just not allow any weapon to destroy a shield, for simplicity's sake. Maybe just say only magic damage can destroy a shield.

I think the "Surge" would be way too powerful. It would basically be saying that an arrow does either vorpal or crush, which ever is more damaging.

Any "Type" of damage can destroy shields given that it exceeds the shields damage threshold.

I agree with Aaron, I think if we lower the magic arrow count to 20 and get rid of re-load times on crossbows, it will even out the archer quite a bit. As far as +1 for quality bows, I am a bit leary about this. I dont want to go down that road and set a prescedent. Maybe we could add a guild skill ...

I think thats Mikes's call......TAG your it!!!
