One of my house rules Consecration/Desecration requires a minimum number of priests doing a minimum of a 6 hr ceremony. The strength of the consecration is related to the number of priests and the length of time done, and what is sacrificed during the ceremony and at what time the ceremony finishes....

kiralon

Priests of the Church of light get access to a miracle of consecration which consecrates the temple.

I'd say it was a full round action to attempt, and my book says 10ft per lvl.

Wizard, Diabolist, Summoner and Alchemist.

kiralon

Me too, 1st ed will always be superior in my mind, but i have a lot of house rules to get around the gray areas due to lack of errata.

kiralon

There is a fair difference between the 1st ed and 2nd ed versions

kiralon

Many years ago there was a netbook of herbs, i recommend finding it if you are going to be using holistic medicine a lot.

kiralon

Maybe having sermons that give group boosts to various things, like bonuses to wilderness/environment skills, maybe reducing random encounters and finding interesting things and then maybe a specialised holistic medicine that then also gives interesting effects like short effect potions and can say ...

kiralon

The elf enclave could be the vequerrel elves and i thought they were described as being fair folk rather than being fair haired. I will have to look it up

kiralon

My guess would be to differentiate them from tolkien elves, as they are tall like tolkien elves, rather than the midgets of the dnd world.

kiralon

I do not believe a digital version exists so your best is a physical copy from ebay. There are two 1st ed monsters and animals versions, one with the minotaur with a sword (early version) or an axe (late version). I would recommend the one with the axe.

kiralon

Not to mentions there's a lot of channels to tune into, also have to pick the followers to watch from the millions/billions across the megaverse, and dont have any extra special multi tasking skills and likely are doing things already.

kiralon

I had a party that played burny huggy ball, A wolfen would toss the invisible fire warlock gnome at something and the gnome would use burst into flame and give it invisible burny hugs.

kiralon

palladium doesn't believe in physics

kiralon

It should be noted that smothering someone won't work, the magic works on "gases", so IMHO that means it negates the C02 buildup (you can't even fill their lungs with Helium) by some means (breaking down the C02?) You could follow that logic and say they are impervious to oxygen now as we...

kiralon

Well, first of all why am I being tortured in Mark's scenario? I agree that you couldn't quickly snap someone's neck. But what it you slowly turned the head until it broke? -Vek "No Veks were harmed in the making of this post." A. He isn't going to torture himself, bit of a silly question...

kiralon

+1 For me psionics is its on class of magic, like warlocks or wizards. Its' an editing issue normally when they say vs magic, as there is no such thing, its spells, wards, circles or psionics. Deathblow definately as that is from a weapon. For suffocation to work whatever is doing it would have to c...

kiralon

I use patterns that the circle is on, but it would be the will of the summoner, he concentrates and writes whatever he links to the destination.

kiralon

I read MoM when i first got it about 10 years ago, but had already house ruled a lot of the stuff in there earlier as there needed to be answers to those questions and more, so it is my least referenced book easily. Was this answered in there or was it cut, I had a quick glance in it and the answer ...

kiralon

For me i use the area of effect, but the magic is blocked by the amount of material that blocks the x-ray vision spell (i have a more comlplete list for this) and is raytraced from the the wards themselves. So if a turn you blue ward is under a rug on a 3 ft thick stone floor on the second level is ...

This statement applies to a lot of things palladium related

kiralon

That's a pretty cool idea

kiralon

That would have to be a very friendly mind mage to give up 4 ME permanently

kiralon

If thats second ed, If i remember correctly a mind mage can erase all of the summoners memory permanently for 4 ME, also unlikely to happen, way easier for the summoner to have an accident. He can add new memories, but they are temporary, also friendly still doesnt mean the alchemist wont sell the w...

kiralon

The summoning would work, but there is a chance that the evil summmoner has the bits required to resummon them, and most of the characters i played would never give a summoner anyones true name willingly, unless there was absolutely no other choice, as you are pretty much making them that summoners ...

kiralon

As it doesn't give a weight limit for any extra items i would think it was more likely that it doesn't allow for it as all the other teleport types do, and i would be inclined to have the summoned appear and return with nothing. What it says about the payment tend to point towards it being paid late...

kiralon

The way you turn up would be the way you return (so no leaving stuff or getting stuff), and I think the magic would return you before an ill effect hit you so if someone cast lightning bolt on you, you would return before the bolt hit you for example. This is easiest as it also stop things like havi...

kiralon

I consider them two very separate things, as the circle for the spell rituals is more of "component", and very different than the "circle magic" that summoners do. If a summoner player wanted to have a circle that mirrors on of the spells, I'd go through the process of designing...

kiralon

As the particular powers description says mid block stops it from working, i would go with that.

kiralon

It would remain stuck in the air Yes you can capture people with them and probably suffocate them, especially at higher level. I would encourage people to not take the power. The imbalance of what can deal with it would not be healthy for the party. I keep thinking its the second ed version of first...

kiralon

I generally go by that if there is something in the way then the effect can't happen, but it do allow some push, so if it was a loose chain it would get pushed aside, but not if attached to the body, so a sword in hand would get pushed out a bit but still be gripped. This prevents users from using t...

kiralon

My Housse rules Alchemist I allow an alchemist to identify an item with times (less) and costs (higher) the higher the level the alchemist is. This will give you exact powers and activations, this is the most accurate way. Costs: 100(minimum just to look at the item to see what it would cost) - 1000...

kiralon

Nothing would also be my thought, as you are in an extradimensional space and aren't actually near the ward

kiralon

As often is the case would have to be house ruled. 1. I would say the idea is to be outward only, as that is the feeling i get from the spell as you cat the start point and the endpoint is elsewhere. 2. Magic is weird and would light the area. 3. Would have to look it up, but people often mix 20ft c...

kiralon

Its going to be a house ruling.

I use string theory, if you can get a bit of indestructible string between the two points then yes, so if you can see though a wall of fire yes, but no to through glass, but yes through a keyhole etc, so if its a solid force field then no.

kiralon

It is a class special ability, only monk scholars get it (They get their own hth style called evasive combat), and if it got bonuses as it levelled up i would think that it could be a like rue, but as scholar monks arent allowed to strike, it would make less sense to me as it would be pretty much us...

kiralon

The books are different enough that i might (and do) house rule other books rules in, i do not play the mdc games often, so i use the rules the way they are presented in the fantasy rule book In a gaming perspective having the difference in dodges is an idea i like, but the fact that it says it work...

kiralon

Off hand I don't know if/where Auto-Dodge gets defined for PF, but Megaversally under RUE (pg344) it is defined as "[...] An automatic dodge not use up any attacks to perform. Bonuses to auto-dodge come from the character's P.P. attribute and any special bonus specifically for it (the bonus, s...

kiralon

Auto-Dodge bonuses generally run lower than the Dodge bonus (they don't stack, except for the PP bonus in RAW) as there aren't to many ways to raise the AD unlike a regular Dodge or Parry. The automatic dodge is just a normal dodge that doesn't cost actions, just like automatic parry is just a parr...

kiralon

You could also try an auto roll with attack, you do parries as per normal but get to roll with blow for attacks that hit. But if i added something that allowed full defensive id likely allow a full offensive as well to equalise things a bit But for me saving all your actions for dodging is going ful...

kiralon

You could try
If you go full offensive for a round, roll 2d20 and pick the best one for the strike roll, roll 2d20 and your opponent picks the dice for the defensive (parry/dodge/roll etc) dice roll and vice versa if you go full defensive, and you cannot change again until initiative.

kiralon

I started playing when few addon books were available so for me is the following Timiro - Pretty much straight up from the book Eastern Territories - Feudal Britain pre Arthur GNW - Romans in wolf clothing Northern Hinterlands - Ice Barbarians Ophids Grasslands - Peloi, Best horses and light horsema...

kiralon

Hard to say, they are old and decadent, so could be many.
for me they were very like the Tsuranuanni Empire

kiralon

As it doesn't say it gives combat negatives i would say no distraction. And if you would allow a line of sight spell to be cast around a corner using a mirror i would say yes. However i would say no, for me is a line from your eyeball to the target, if you can run a bit of string between the two i h...

kiralon

With the silver cord i play that after a certain distance it fades into insubstantiality, otherwise how could you get lost going back to your body. yes to finding your body wherever it is/been moved to and you would not know it was moved until looking at it from tha astral plane. Zero awareness of t...

kiralon

1. Would Impervious To Fire negate the damage done by the spell? Or, since the flames are "cool" would you need impervious to cold? Not normal flame, it isn't cold burn or hot burn and seems to be more aura burn. 2. Assuming you pass the horror factor check, how far into/through the wall c...

I found the vampires to be a hot mess and made the VI vamps out to be a different race of vamps to the demonic vamps, which has the lord/master vampire and secondaries, where they tougher as they get older but the VI vamps were used for more of a BTS feel, and made them more necroscope horror style....

kiralon

In my astral plane IQ is PP, ME is PE, Will power is PS (i use extra stats, willpower, perception, luck), MA is spd, so a non physical character tends to shine in the astral plane.

kiralon

afaik there are no rules mentioning this, so it is pretty much up to the DM. I went a blend of Tel'aran'rhiod/Deverry/Tigana way, and always make the first trip into the astral a learning experience, with the players having to explore how it works. Getting a power to go to another dimension does not...

kiralon

I play presence sense like a sonar ping, with the ping detectable passively by those with the detect psionics power, so it has to be activated when you want to use it (Sleeping with a constant pinging would be annoying)

kiralon

lol 2nd, I still allow the players to play the books ones as is if they prefer as the after combat healing is way superior, but the variety of spells and the ability to get ones above level 5 is what they usually choose. Everything else is the same except the cleric cant cast 2 spells a round but ot...
