Re: Developer Blog: Creatures (Revisited)

I find the reading to be heading in the direction of obtuse, but for the sake of clarity:

Hardened Armor: The damage bonus for an additional success is reduced by 1 (generally to +1).

Re: Panda Gaming Grove Discussion

I'm glad you like the change to Patterncraft from Read and Write Magic. It is one of the things which was put in place for future developments, in addition to simply sounding better. There are many plans for this little talent. To be clear, I will never say four matrices is perfect balance. It is a ...

Re: Panda Gaming Grove Discussion

House rules and personal preferences aside, the reference to what happens when you have two Thread Weaving talents can be found on p. 219, Limits on Threads. Only the Thread Weaving talent with the highest rank is used for permanent threads.

Re: Developer Blog: Creatures (Revisited)

Only if you take it in isolation of any other mechanics. Providing absolute values, rather than modifications, will lead to paradoxes where two different statements set the damage from an extra success.

Re: Panda Gaming Grove Discussion

While you are focusing on spell matrices as the problem, it is actually the spellcasting setup as a whole. Using Versatility as the example, you cannot be a functional spellcaster with one talent. Take any one talent from the suite and you are not getting far: Patterncraft, Spellcasting, Standard Ma...

Re: Developer Blog: Creatures (Revisited)

What Josh said regarding Enhanced Senses isn't fully correct. The creatures gain all of the same benefits from their Enhanced Senses as an adept using Borrow Sense would. This does mean some math may be required, though it is only either an attribute or a skill and the enhanced sense (e.g. PER + Enh...

Re: Panda Gaming Grove Discussion

My apologies for not being more clear on the application of Elemental Tongues and Spirit Talk: they are tests made against the summoned spirit's Social Defense to convince them to work for you in the first place. For each success, they agree to use one of their powers. There are some other pieces to...

Re: Panda Gaming Grove Discussion

This is a more complicated question than it appears on the surface. There was a time when they were being strongly considered as talents. Different system models included discrete discipline "builds" where a spellcaster could choose a specialty of sorts and gain differing abilities at the ...

Re: Panda Gaming Grove Discussion

Air Speaking isn't for everyone, but it can be a valuable tool to the right group. I can say one of the playtest groups used it quite a bit, between BASE jumping from an airship and coordinating while dropping, and communicating discretely during an intrigue laden heist. Elemental Tongues is very im...
