Pedro, do you guys (PCI) still use the Yahoo groups for official errata?
January 10, 2014 at 2:03 pm #254959AnonymousInactiveI can answer that:
No they dont, the boards are what they use instead of the yahoo groups.
January 29, 2014 at 3:03 pm #255988AnonymousInactiveDo spells that add a “Spell Speed” to a Weapon Speed (e.g. Far Strike, Whirling Blade, etc.) become Interruptible spells if the combination of Weapon Speed + Spell Speed equals or exceeds 7? Weapon attacks are never interruptible, and these spells are “Make a Melee or Ranged Attack”, so it’s unclear.

January 29, 2014 at 5:22 pm #255999AnonymousInactiveCan a base spell of range “Self” be combined with a spell of range “Self (10′ Radius)” and become an advanced spell of Range “Self”? Seems they are compatible by the smallest area way of doing things. Specifically the spells in question are Inertial shield and Dome of Shadows.

February 10, 2014 at 9:23 pm #256528frootsnaxParticipantHi Pedro
There is an issue with Ansharans and their Gates. At present the only way to be eligible to attune to and use Gates is through the tier 1 val Inares bloodline talent Path of Stars. That means humans dark-kin etc etc have no way to attune and operate gates even if they become Annoited Priests of Anshar.
I would suggest that Path of Stars also be made a devout talent.

Either that, or give it Anointed Priest of Anshar as in place of Disciplined (or as a ‘bonus’ talent).
February 10, 2014 at 9:53 pm #256534AnonymousInactivewhats wrong with giving the anointed priest disciplined?
and a third option would be to give it to the “ansharan gate keeper” path

Sure or that too. Means all priests of Anshar can work Gates. Not sure if that’s true for everyone. Also leaves Holy Champions out in the cold. Which might be fine.

I kind of like this but Ansharan Gate Keepers have to be Tier 3. My personal take is that lower level people should be able to work Gates. But then again may not … maybe working a Gate is a pretty elite thing to do.
On the whole I think I still like the idea of Path of Stars also being made into a devout talent best. So divine casting Ansharans can choose (or not) to take it. But both of your other options are also workable.
February 22, 2014 at 4:15 am #257254PCI_AdminKeymasterTime for a question about questions -redundancy, whee!
Is the forum to comment/kvetch about Talents that don’t have any mechanical errors but are vexing?

Yes please… new topic per talent please
February 28, 2014 at 12:28 am #257770AnonymousInactivePg314, Table 3-3 (and explanations)
Movement: If a character Stands Up, Charges, Advances or Runs…
should be
Movement: If a character Stands Up, Dash, Double Time or Runs…
to be consistent with Movement Actions on Pg309Additionally, does the movement from Passing Strike (LMT) and Flowing Sand (LMT) trigger free strikes?
March 8, 2014 at 9:47 pm #258231AnonymousInactiveMy gaming group is new to Arcanis and we have a question about movement. We understand advancing (charging, running etc…) incurs a free strike but if in melee can you use a cautious advance to leave melee with out a free strike from your opponent. If engaged in melee and you attempt to leave it by using incidental movement does this incur a free strike.
Thanks

JoeNope, incidental movement does not trigger free strikes.
And, welcome to the fold
March 15, 2014 at 12:31 am #259193AnonymousInactiveIt seems to me that Guarded Attack would make the most sense as a melee maneuver, but it doesn’t specifically say melee anywhere in the description. Could a character do a Guarded Attack with a ranged weapon?
March 16, 2014 at 7:27 pm #259397AnonymousInactiveI have a quick question on spell casting. Is their a limit on how many spells someone can cast per day or per scene. I ask this question because I have just run the Desperate Measures adventure and during the adventure the party’s Sorcerer -Priest of Sarish just cast the Diminish Fatigue Spell spell over and over during the final scene. Now everyone greatly enjoyed the game and we all had fun but it just seemed odd to us.
