...The "revisions" aren't that strong.<br /><br />System-wise, everything works the same as it did before. A few skills are consolidated, and a few spells are positioned a bit differently (with, really, a new "Bless" spell mechanically replacing the old "Bless" spell, while keeping the same general idea of the spell), but the process of play remains identical.JimLotFPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992397707040836366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670029344758253148.post-16649258853117026902011-01-03T10:44:00.636+02:002011-01-03T10:44:00.636+02:00@JimLotFP-

Ya know monsters can't harm someone Blessed by a Deity. And the converse, that Curses really would suck if they attracted monsters/made it more likely that you'd suffer Bad Consequences, etc... Bless/Curse giving a +1/-1 to hit always seemed kinda weird to me.(Not to even go into Chant, Aid, Prayer, etc...) Mechanically, all the spells I mentioned are distinct, of course. Just putting the idea out there; I understand your rationale, of course.<br /><br />Good luck revising the set! It sounds like the shape of the game is changing a bit, very interesting...velaranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15689908090884198784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670029344758253148.post-64356489683814083432011-01-03T10:11:13.788+02:002011-01-03T10:11:13.788+02:00>>Bless-I'm sure the players will still ...>>Bless-I'm sure the players will still find a way to use this new version in combat.<br /><br />Undoubtedly. I don't have a problem with Bless being used to Smite the Unbelievers, I just had a problem with that being pretty much its only function.<br /><br />I don't think the spells you mentioned should be the same thing at all. "May you succeed in your tasks due to divine favor," "Ward off evil," and "walk in peace," seem to be very distinct things to me.JimLotFPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992397707040836366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670029344758253148.post-57512495576517247782011-01-03T09:21:13.923+02:002011-01-03T09:21:13.923+02:00Bless-I'm sure the players will still find a w...Bless-I'm sure the players will still find a way to use this new version in combat. The new pool of points might cause a little confusion and slowdown, imo. Personally, I always thought Bless and Protection From Good/Evil should be the same damn thing...., with possibly a Sanctuary style effect, as well. Curse would naturally do the opposite.(More likelihood of/susceptibility to attacks.) My .02 Euros. :-) <br /><br />'Vancian' Magic-No such animal in D&D, just inspired by some elements of the stories. For which, I'm sure the average, casual player will be glad! A game enforcing this style of magic would be Metal indeed.<br /><br />Clerics Being Anti-Magic:<br />It seems to be THEIR type of magic vs mages' magic from what I've seen. For ostensibly, the aim of their Gods, I'm sure. <br /><br />Glad to hear your working apace on LOTFP:GE!velaranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15689908090884198784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670029344758253148.post-16102284832428029892011-01-03T08:37:40.957+02:002011-01-03T08:37:40.957+02:00I'm completely in love with this change to Ble...I'm completely in love with this change to Bless.

After all, they are working to bend all of reality to the will of their god/beliefs. Only that sort of certainty makes it possible to get cleric spells.Santahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01977863395278912279noreply@blogger.com
