Re: Down Strike vs. Knocked down
I think that the accumulated precedent is that it can be used in the three use cases I mentioned, and otherwise not. And like I said, I personally scale it down to "about half the attackers body length" rather than "one yard". A windling would have quite some difficulty attacking something that was ...

Re: Down Strike vs. Knocked down
This is a topic to which all attempts to apply logic break down pretty fast, and most simply apply precedent and fiat, rather than look for a unifying logic. If you are looking for logic, I can think of no good reason why somebody mounted a bit above their target can down strike against them, but so...

Re: Spell Questions
3) The Spell Learning Cost Table on page 268 says that learning a new Novice spell costs 800 SP, a new Journeyman spell costs 1300, etc.
What is the cost of learning a new Initiate Tier spell?
The same as a Novice spell? or 500?

Re: Cracking Bank Hall - Character Journals [Spoilers]
I have edited the last three paragraphs of my prior post to include the story that the police were told. Yes, future storytelling Cusa would know more than I know now, that is why I try so hard to mostly tell what he was thinking at the time and not skip ahead to much except for where it is a pretty...

Re: Making Characters
I think I might be under some confusion as what is sometimes meant by the word "Free". Whether it means that the character "gets a Free skill rank", "uses a Free skill rank", gets or uses a "Free skill slot", or a "usage of a Free skill slot without it counting as a Free skill slot being used", or s...

Re: Cracking Bank Hall - Character Journals [Spoilers]
The ensuing fight was both brutal and confusing. The room was dark and full of statuary. We were libel to loose sight of any opponent or friend that was more than a few arms lengths away. Worst of all, we did not know for sure whom was on whose side. We had entered the room thinking that Mssr Niece ...

Re: Starting Skills
So now that there is an Errata, did this get forgotten, or has thinking on this changed in the nearly 2 years since this answer was posted? This is from the 2nd post in this very old thread. You start with eight Core/Optional Skill slots, not six, but must take a minimum of six Core/Optional Skills,...

Re: Animal Trainnig vs Animal Talk
First off I want to apologize if my attitude has sometimes been snarky. I don't wish you to feel attacked. But I do often feel that your arguments miss the point a lot. Moreover I did a bit of research in our world, and there are animals that do not take to domestication at all (not to mention train...
