Just because we seem to have several people popping in, it seems worth bringing this back to the end: Feel free to keep talking about these issues, but I did want to put out there that we've decided to keep the DR/UR pretty much as-is from prior editions (the base values may not match exactly, but t...

But Research and all usually takes one week. Two, tops. Which is pretty realistic; by that point, you've asked everyone you have to ask and read what the local Library has to offer. From there, everybody's just tapping their feet waiting for the Weaponsmith to finish up. It's kind of like the AD&...

I kind of missed that. "More like Acrobatic Defense" doesn't really tell me enough of what it does, especially since I know part of the goal was to consolidate redundant Talents... so I assume that Maneuver is different from Acrobatic Defense. I have always loved Maneuver as it was, so I'm...

That point isn't.. irrelevant, but I don't think it's.. well, entirely relevant, either. True, real Forging takes lots of time, but one of the key things about Forge Weapon/Armor is that it's being clarified as a magical ritual. So whatever time it requires is really totally up to us, because there ...

Only if you never want to increase the rank of the Forging. If they're getting better, you don't have to maintain them, it's automatically updated every time you increase the Forging Rank. I understand that if someone improves it, that counts for the `maintaining' week, too, but that's only relevan...

I picture it as a pretty low cost; it's a central thing for them to do, afterall, so they should be able to do it. Really, I picture 1 permanent damage point for each item. I could see making it perhaps 1 per +5 bonus Forged into an item (so 1-3), to help further limit those Fully Forged Items. Ethe...

It seems to me that the problem lies in the "Maintenance" part. A week here and there for improving a new weapon seems totally reasonable and gives the GM some control over how fast that happens, which is important; two months out of every year spent just to avoid having to start over from...

What are the current pack/swarm rules? I needed some once and had to make up my own. (A quick book/page number is really all I need - I don't need somebody to sit there and retype them all for me. So I guess what I'm really asking is, where are the current pack/swarm rules? Thanks!) A Pack would be ...

Somebody talked about exactly that a while ago. I think it was Panda. He said he was doing a lot to firm up the "themes" for the spellcasters, right up to making Wizards more meta- and less misc-. I tried to find it again, but I'm not sure which Thread it was in -- but it sounded like the ...

I like Mystic Defense - it's more consistent, with Mystic Armor; more applicable, since not all things that target it are spells; and easier for abbreviating, since we now have PD, MD, and SD, instead of PD, SpD, and SoD. When I first read that change, I thought, "Oh, yeah. Why didn't we all do...
