Re: Sha'ahm'ni- Sard Hand Language

For amusement, I suggest starting with the Happy gesture, but move your hand in and out like you are patting your side/stomach. The magnitude dependent on how funny something is. Something that is side-slappingly funny is very funny indeed. I think something for interest/attention would be useful. "...

Re: BGS and how to use them

Just as a side note, detect magic was added into pioneer in the antiquarian update before the play test. Missed that. If the rulebook won't be finalized for a while it might be worth putting all the known changes up on the forum somewhere. In that case, what is "magic"? Does it include alteric items?

Re: BGS and how to use them

I realized the questions I have mostly are about multiple PCs tackling the same topic, so I can think about how best to coordinate between events. Such as, whether that gets them all the same info, or if they get several different bits that are greater in aggregate, or something else. Also, if it m...

Re: BGS and how to use them

Some comments that I'll leave here so the other thread is clean, from the perspective of a player who used a lot of BGS in the previous campaign, not all of which will work the same: Detect Magic: there's no skill by this name anymore. The only "detect" skills are Detect Influence and Detect Afflict...

Re: Tov Event Community Timeline Document

If people want a wiki, I could probably set one up. That said, a wiki is great for organization and on-line browsing. And terrible for printing out a copy to actually use during the event. So I have mixed feelings about that. Some kind of formatted document could be printed more easily in a book-lik...

Re: A question about Influence

As far as the skills in Mana Chirurgeon are concerned, you treat influence or corruption the same regardless of type. It's harder to resist Chaos effects than elemental ones, but influence isn't an effect. I think Bolster Aura will work just as well against chaos influence tokens than against other ...

Re: Tov Event Community Timeline Document

In terms of what the content is, just a more complete account of what happened during the event is interesting, but I could also imagine creating essentially a dictionary / encyclopedia with information per subject. Or it could be several topic-based documents, e.g. a bestiary, etc. If Brad wants to...

Re: Tov Event Community Timeline Document

That's great, thanks for putting it together.

If there are also people interested in putting together a collection of in-game knowledge in some shared form I would be interested in that too.

Re: A question about Influence

You only have one pool of influence. So you'd have 15. If you suffer enough influence at the event to acquire a Corruption, the type of the corruption would be based on the type of influence you got the most of. So, in your example, you would end up with a Chaos corruption and not an Arcanic corrupt...
