Mortus has learnt Lightening Bolt, but I'm not sure what the stats for it are. Str4 + d10 I think, single target?

Lightning bolt is almost exactly the same as fireball, except that it costs more to cast and is S4. Like fireball, it hits d3 targets in a group per level, and you can fire one bolt per level. I suppose the fact that it is lightning rather than fire may matter sometimes too.

I'll edit the description into your character sheet.

The lightening bolt that was in the ring was single target, I assume that was a different type of lightening bolt.

How difficult is it to enchant those sort of rings? Could Mortus learn to do that?

Sorry, to clarify I meant a sleeveless mail shirt.

The ring was different to the actual spell. Mortus can change her mind about lightning bolt and learn something else if she doesn't like it.

There are rules for making magic items (in the mostly-useless 'realms of sorcery' book), but they are of the type that is a long-winded way of saying 'it's not worth the player trying to do this.' It takes months of continuous effort. You also need the skill 'manufacture magical items,' which isn't on any career list.

Sybo and Leo Haan were apparently able to make magic items without having the necessary skills! Cheaters.

Yes, certainly!

I'm really swamped with work right now. Trying to get some time to post!

commandant · « **Reply #13281 on:** June 20, 2016, 01:51:14 PM »

I'm not sure what any of the other spells she can learn can do though. It might be worth keeping the XP until she discovers another magic tome

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #13282 on:** June 21, 2016, 10:43:57 AM »

So she's not learning lightning bolt. OK.

Admund feels naked without his shield and mail sleeves. A shield really helps your AC!

And don't forget to vote today, you English folks!

Good rpg post again, Karl! Not sure you can remove the sleeves from a mail shirt very easily though - wouldn't you have to break open a load of the links?

Waiting to hear from Finlay and commandant before I can update.

All you'd need is some snips, or pliers to bend them open. I figured they're not held together at the sleeves very well any more with the damage. Or that with Julian's engineering, he could rig them so I could get it on with a sling. Should I just ditch the shirt until Admund can get a new one?

I wonder if Yorri will ship from Middenheim

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #13287 on:** June 24, 2016, 07:43:18 AM »

Yes, I suppose it would be easy enough to remove the sleeves. Julian has the skills.

You could always come to Australia, I guess. We don't have a Trump yet.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #13289 on:** June 24, 2016, 08:53:16 AM »

Plus you have wombats! And board shorts are the national dress. It's tempting.

We are partial to wearing "boardies" in places others may consider inappropriate.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #13292 on:** June 24, 2016, 09:59:51 AM »

Surely board shorts are always appropriate.

Sig · « **Reply #13293 on:** June 24, 2016, 10:08:45 AM »

My work disagrees

A colleague once wore his 80s rugby short shorts to work. He's 140kg, that was far too much leg.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #13294 on:** June 24, 2016, 10:28:36 AM »

Ha, short shorts are never a good idea!

Karl Voss of Averland · « **Reply #13295 on:** June 24, 2016, 11:35:14 AM »

You guys could join the United States! Our countries are practically related, and it's not that hard to add a star to the flag. I'm going to DC again in August, I'll put a good word in for you.

Also, that Wombat is awesome. Can we borrow him to shoot fireworks on July 4th?

Combat Wombat, on a mission to eliminate Trump.

Please do. He's a national joke.

Those quite short pink ones rufus!

Combat Wombat can be our new prime minister.

Maybe we can move all the Trump supporters and the leave voters to one country, and the rest of us can have the other one. That would solve a lot of problems.

That sound like a problem with the specific choice of shorts, rather than with shorts in general!
