I don't think you can cast spells in the same turn, though.

Which, of course, makes the concise casting comment seem unnecessary, so I don't know.

Had to postpone by 2 weeks, and then I waited a week to get the summary written. The Tunnel and the Infinite Cave postmortem I finally paid for a Roll20 subscription. I'd been using it and, mostly, drawing maps with lines and the like. Worked well, and I hunted around for good tokens to represent gu...

Finding themselves in a dark tunnel, knowing that deadly traps stand between them and the outside, what do the heroes do? The Tunnel and the Infinite Cave Also, I love my players. In the Infinite Cave section, they played along brilliantly. They rarely metagame, and it really adds to my fun. Also, a...

Ah, that link should greatly help! Thanks!

The recent thread on economics has prompted me to finally ask this question. How much silver on average should be rewarded per adventure session?

The reason I brought in the Talent was to reflect different level of abilities for a given person to hold an are...

Figuring out how to control the field is a big issue with Earthdawn combat. There are area-denial spells, but how does a Warrior keep the bad guy from simply walking around them to go after the squishy in the rear? Or maybe there's an open book that's summoning a Horror directly behind the evil cult...
