What possible reason could you have for not wanting to read such an informative thread? The things I have learned reading this thread will effect me for the rest of my life.Whaddoyamean? Mightybec hasn't even shown his face 'round here!

Re: Spell Durations
As far as Uncontrolled goes, you can set the ending condition to a specific time -- like "At Dawn", or "In Two Weeks".
A Continuing Charge is used when you have a finite "supply" of spell charges, while Uncontrolled -- given the circumstances -- can be cast as many times as you want.

Re: RPG.net
Reminds me of some of the NGD political threads.And no, I don't think you were being offensive.,
Same here. But I got this feeling that you were talking at cross-purouses (or whatever the expression. Not actually talking about the same thing?)

Re: Plague Challenge!
Thanks Marcdoc, Sociotard, everyone! You've helped heaps! Can't believe I didn't look in the Bestiary . . .
Incidentally, I saw a documentary that stated that the Black Death probably wasn't carried by the fleas and the black rat, and probably was something entirely else than the modern bubonic plague . . .

True. But as I read the Transform rules, it doesn't matter if you're half dead or as perky as ever; you roll the dice and compare with your base BODY.
What I'm wondering now is how do you mimic a disease in general in rules terms? Independent? Sticky? Extra time (but that may be a given . . .)

Roight! A challenge for youse peoples!
In my Undermount Reaches campaign, I have a pretty standard huge-empire-obliviated-by-scary-ass-demon-induced-plague background (well, standard for me, at least . . . )
The thing is, I've planned on letting the plague itself -- the Maddening -- be a pure plot device, but I just felt the need to see how it could be statted out.
Now, the disease. It starts as a really nasty Ebola-esque bleeding disease, followed by a transformation of some of the survivors into Man-beast hybrids. I'm thinking of something like a Drain Body, with a Major Transform somehow linked to it . . . ?
Any takers?
BTW, I didn't see disease covered in FREd, Fantasy or Space. Any ideas why? Or am I just not looking that hard?

Too bad. I'd buy it!

By the way, who's writing CH? You?

Bah! Bah, say I! You young'uns of to-day, not knowing what it was like to walk five complete blocks to school -- both ways!
Nothing to worry about, the slang comes naturally after a while. I don't think there's that much of it, anyway . . .

What Categories did she have for Animal Handler?
I'd suggest Small Circus Ursines, Bullfrogs, ManHogs and Tortoids.

IIRC, Supreme, you got it right.

Hey, maybe you could give the character a rebate on the second language? Say, treat it as a four- or three-point similarity to the first language and call the spec effect a bi-lingual home.

. . . I just can't help it; every time I see Korvar's handle I just want to laugh out loud: In Swedish korvar means "sausages" . . .
Sorry, Korvar! I'll try to keep the snickering to a minimum . . .
A construction question on special "classes"
in Fantasy Hero
Posted
Re: A construction question on special "classes"
Off the top of my head: I draw a parallell with the Universal/Limited Universal/Personal applicabilities of the Focus Limitation. With these it's just the way the Focus is defined: The Power can be used by anyone (Universal), by only one person (Personal), or by a limited group of people (Limited Universal).
Neither of these does anything to the value of the Limitation, so I should just say that Starbow Archers must be Elves, and give no discount on the points of the Power.
