  1. Or a Heroquest to be able to talk a Trickster into doing something useful for a change. LOL.
  2. Darn, I was thinking "...goddess'..." was correct. I checked grammargoddess.com (pun not intended) which stated it is correct in modern usage. At least it does not need to be changed. Great work on the rest. Page 9: "The Red Goddess was born in Rinliddi (Peloria in 1220 ST." -> "The Red Goddess was born in Rinliddi (Peloria) in 1220 ST. p.10 last sentence in 1st column. "The deities are more influenced to receive worship on Godsday." This sentence sounds confusing to me. Are deities receiving influence from some entity to receive worship on Godsday? Are deities providing influence to get more worshippers to worship on Godsday? Are deities happier with worship on Godsday and provide more in return to their worshippers on Godsday? Should it be "The deities are more influenced by worship received on Godsday"?
  3. Farmers and Cavalry would run afoul of the 'Most larger creatures cannot leave their temple complexes or sacred places, or their intelligence begins to fade away.' (W&E page 44) After putting in over 25 POW, it would be a real shame to have your horse go back to normal because you took it to the next town, or took the oxen to plow your field. 🙂
  4. Very useful reference. The artwork is great.
  5. Yep. The canon is semi-contradictory. Hence why I said he should remain a mysterious figure who doesn't fit into any particular category. Lots of other 'powerful sorcerer's are immortal and follow Vivamort (but aren't heroes) and are specifically allowed by the old Vivamort cult rules - as vampires. Delecti isn't exactly. He is special and defies categorization. But, I apologize for sending us down this rabbit hole of violent agreement re Delecti. 🙂
  6. In my mind, yes. The spell states "This replaces the normal damage done by the weapon." It does not state it replaces the HP of the weapon. Would we allow the players to cast Fireblade on a bronze sword with one remaining HP and say it now has 12 HP for the duration? Of course not.
  7. Everyone must get stoned. Bid free for all on the Spirit Plane! Yeah, Redeye doesn't have the digestion of a troll - who are stated as eating it for the effect.
  8. The fun part may be that Redeye eats all this Hazia. That sounds like the Potency gets really high, e.g. up to 40d10 'the POT effect is cumulative' (bestiary p 199). That should have a pretty good chance to overcome Redeye's CON. Hence, Redeye becomes addicted. And wants more, lots more. So Redeye goes on a rampage towards wherever. And boars have a legendary ability to sniff out plants. So the local Hazia black market(s) get attacked. "Hey, adventurers you caused this problem!" I like it.
  9. Good points. I believe the suggestion of a non-Vivamort vampire is personified in Delecti. He is a different topic by himself. And IMHO should remain a mysterious figure that doesn't fit into any particular category. So I definitely agree "there's been no clear idea of how they work".
  10. I would be interested to see any magics that let them take over the brain functions of insects. Sorry Gorakiki.
  11. I can think of real world examples where animals 'parry'. Take a cat vs dog. The dog's bite is getting close, and the cat pops it on the head with its paw. Parry! That isn't going to work well against an axe or sword though. Maybe a spear. Or consider horned/antlered animals in mating displays. That bighorn sheep ram is going to be in a world of hurt if it doesn't parry that other ram's horns with its own. Same with elk. If you watch enough nature videos, you will see horns/antlers used against predators too. A triceratops is going to put its horns in the way of every incoming attack if it can. And of course the Bestiary specifically says Unicorns can parry - quite well. That should give some idea of when it is appropriate for beasts to parry rather than dodge. But mostly, dodge.

    Oh, that makes a bunch of sense for minimum guiding passion. So glad I read that. And I see your roll for Intensity ended with 90 Intensity. But 'Guiding Passion Loss' I don't get. Meaning they all start at 60 in Round 1, and it looks like they engage the Silver Shields. Which should have a Passion Loss of (1d6+2)x5, 15 to 40 points. Yet the result is +5, not a loss of the guiding passion. I am confused by that, maybe because I never read the Pendragon rules.
  13. Creative flawed crystals! Anything the GM can imagine.
  14. In my view they might give an obvious or unobtrusive Chaos Feature. They could just drain 1d4 POW and then give the attuned one of the other powers (e.g. +1 magical defense). Not all of them give a Chaos Feature. The effects are so random. And therefore, they would not necessarily give a percentage in the Chaos Rune. But IMHO any that give a Chaos Feature (obvious or obscure) are almost definitely going to give a percentage in Chaos Rune. As always, YGMV. So if you want a character to get +1d6 STR as a Chaos Feature, only appear more 'ripped', and no points in Chaos Rune, go for it. If you want the character to never be able to attune another crystal because they remain attuned to this useless one forever, and also want to give the character 60 Chaos Rune, go for that too. Whatever allows Maximum Game Fun.
