Hi Lee, is there any general rule on buying 1st class abilities as a second class char.

E. G. I am a totally standard warrior priest who has mcd warrior. I want to buy contra mastery bustard swords.

Can I buy it a table later than the 1st class versio ? Or two tables later? Or does it require a points app?

Thanks

Standardly you can only buy 1st class abilities once you take a class to 8th level, and then you get a limited buy as (its detailed in the Classes book).

Hi Lee

Do Focused Spirit (T10) and Greatness of Spirit (T12) stack please?


If they do not stack, can you just:
A. Upgrade for 250 points
B. Get a simple 1 line points app to upgrade
C. Take the 200 point hit and buy GoS?


Thank you
Andy

They don't stack, they are different abilities not upgrades.

Lee

Can you explain why they don’t stack?

1/2 spirit and 1/2 causing stack
1/2 magic and 1/2 fire stack
1/2 fire and neuro mastery fire stack
1/2 fire and walk through fire spell stack

The rule seems to be things stack if they are slightly different

Why does 1/2 evil spirits and 1/2 evil Miracles not stack?

Just wondering

Thanks

David

yes.
In your examples, 1/2 fx spirit and magic are racial (so 1/2 spirit would stack with focussed or greatness), the last two involve temp power ups.
Resistances to causing/spirit bolt both say previous effect.

GoS and Focussed are both just flat 1/2 effects so the same sort of reduction. It is more akin to neuro mastery fire and walk through fire not stacking.

Contra Mastery Vs Weapons says "From Counter Weapon Mastery and Contra Mastery x 3....." can I confirm that you only need 1 Counter Mastery not 3?

I dont think it is possible to buy more than 1 counter anyway?

That being said it also says that you cannot buy both counter and contra mastery - but you have to to get contra vs weapons?

You only need one counter mastery.
The contra mastery error was clarified a couple of years ago, it is a misprint from an older version of it. I think it has been changed in the latest books.

So, a sorcerer MC's wizard.

He gains the wizards colour as a first colour, and can buy 2nd (and third) colour as wizard, right? Or am i getting a bit @Ryan Kelly here?

Second colour isn't asterixed so you can only buy it once. So you could get 3 colours plus sorcery, not get sorcorial second colours as well as wizards.

Hi Lee

Thought I knew the answer to this one but have then had conflicting opinions on it. Can a spiritless elf scout gain the recognise spirit ability? I know they can't use anything spiritual so had assumed they couldn't even sense one but have been told that's not the case!

Thanks

Ben

No they can't

I have heard rumour the +1 Casting Level from the Genie table at the desk can be used as a level of effect for priests - seems very much a wizard ability but happy to use it that way if it was indeed the intent.

Thanks

It's a wizard ability.

Hey man,

Can you confirm how, if at all, undead are effected by someone with a mantic pass unknown up

Chris

They are effected as written.
A Mantic pass unknown grants immunity to spirit sight.

Hi Lee

Do the 12 spirits you can gain as the major power from Angel Touched cost life to use? They are racial and racial innates typically do not cost life but they are a power pool rather than innates so it isn’t clear

Thanks

David

They do cost life as they are raw power.

So yay, more "discussions" been ongoing about mantics.

Only thing I've not been sure about is shields.

Ive always thought a warrior without utilise spirit can still use a mantic shield to block a purely spiritual attack?

Likewise an elf can use a magic shield to block a purely mantic attack.

Based on shields basically being the same as AC items and not needing the utilise skill?

Is this correct?

Cheers,

Sean

Broadly correct. Don't over think it too much.

Does Empower Spirit (24 Hour Enhance Spirit) go above Life Cap?

Does Empower Spirit cast by someone else on me go above Life Cap? (En Garde suggests that as it's a blessing cast by another player it does)

Does Enhance Spirit go above life cap?

Yes it does.

What happens if a wizard reads a teaching scroll and then buys an ability later that means they lose the ability to read them?
I would have thought logically you read it and then have learnt the spell, so if later you lose the ability you don’t ‘forget’ what you have learnt, but some reliable folks have said it doesn’t work that way...

Thanks
Dave H

They lose them.

On Table 10 both Mystics and seers can buy enlighten thoughts, which allows them to cast a 1st - 8th lvl inate 1 per 15 mins without using the innate, does that innate need to be a class innate from mystic or seer or ant neuronic innate the the payer gets 1st to 8th?

It needs to be a class innate from that class.

Maybe obscure, maybe ‘don’t overthink it’ or maybe an easy answer:

Character has perm rage vs undead. Monster/NPC is undead but immune to scrying. Does the rage kick in or not?

Same monster/NPC. Character has 6 points off undead, does this work as the monster seems to fight like an undead?

Same again but character inflicts +1 grade of damage vs undead. Does this still happen as again the monster fights like an undead?

Thank you

So:
1) Kicks in if you engage the undead in combat
2) It applies
3) It applies

Destructive Thoughts, on T10 for Mystic says they can use 1 1st - 8th ability once per 15 mins does this need to be from the mystic list or could it be a racial neuronic innate?

Or if MCed to another neuronic class could it be a 1st -8th innate from that class?

It has to be from mystic.

1) For priests and spirit-using warriors (Pal/GW/AP), their ability to utilise spirit weapons/armor is always tied to the item having an alignment which is compatible.

However, the Manufacturers Guide (looking at 4.1 of 2014) shows that adding alignment to a spirit weapon/armor is a "Major" manufacture, rather than just a "Minor" manufacture.

Does that mean that a character with only Make Minor Spirit Item can produce unaligned spirit weapon/armor?
Or does it mean that Make Minor Spirit Item is unusable without also having Make Major Spirit Item?
Or does it mean that Make Minor Spirit item can be always be used to make weapons/armor of the crafters own alignment, and Make Major is required to make spirit items of either of the other two alignments?

Does Words From Above clarify this?

2) Can an evil or good character use a Neutral Spirit weapon/armor?
Can a neutral character use Good or Evil spirit weapon/armor?
Or is it always only possible to use a spirit weapon/armor of your own alignment?

Thanks

By default manufactured weapons/armour/shields are neutral.
Priests can utilise their own miracles of alignments normally. So a goodly priest good and neutral, evil priest is evil and neutral, and a neutral priest depends on what they have.

Isn't it a system rule that any temp life that lasts 24 hours doesn't go over Life Cap?

If it lasts more than 24 hours. Basically if it is so long it carries into the next day.

this shouldn't be seen as a way to abuse things or blag however.

On the September 3 day last year and again on your campaigns this year you have posted the following for your (and therefore the system's in my mind smile.gif ) standard damage calls:

Thru - Thru PAC, if the weapons pure then goes thru MAC/SAC etc as relevant
Predicted - Ignored DAC
Regardless - Both of the above.
Necro - Can do Spirit damage
'Mantic - Can't do spirit damage

What would be the call for mantic that can't do magic damage (a non-pathed spirit user wielding a mantic weapon)?

Thanks

Nibs

I have no idea. It probably needs one. So if anyone has an idea then I'm all ears.
Just like we probably need a term for Neutral angel/demonkind (which I have for the new handbook) and a few other things.
