Can you use Inertia Barrier and telekinesis at the same time if you have duality of mind?

I can see the question but no, because the restriction isn't just about neuronic its about everything.

Follow up question

Are Neuronic Innates releasable? So could you use a Inertia barrier to walk through monsters, release the effect grab an item and shift out, or do you have to wait the 5 mins?

Each innate says if it can be released as they are different.

If you have 1/3 of spiritual, what happens with total heal both prepped and un pepped?

54 TBLP for uprepped (1/3 off 72) and 96 for a prepped total.

If I have a master status weapon or suit of armour, is it thrown off my person if I cast Svelts?

Potentially, self imposed condition by casting the spell myself so can’t apply the weapon’s status properties?

Thanks

David

The spell prevents you using metal weapons full stop, and correct that the armour still can't be used.

Lee

[DavidFisher]

Is a master status weapon immune to Svelts (e.g. I am hitting someone that has cast Svelts). Given its immune to magnetise and magnetic effects

Thanks

David

No, Master status is broadly a defence, not offense.

Hi Lee

Question about layering of armour. The handbook specifically refers to layering requiring leather and/or light chain and plate but what about us Ogres - i have a suit of MC dragon skin armour (6+2) can I layer that over MC normal skins (3+2) to get PAC 9 (or over 4+2 to get PAC 10) in total i.e. is the handbook referring to the types of armour as illustrations of the the actual AC values or is this more blatant fatist discrimination?

Kind regards

Owen (nee Trog)

They are examples, however in the case of real armour its easy to determine if its being layered less so in the case of furs. So it is up to you to provide neough phys rep to make it convincing and cool.

immune to percption reads "immunity to perception abilities except wanderer's hunch and sense motion"
does that mean i'm immune to spiritual viligence and sixth sense as they are a form of perception or not?
and if not would it be easy to get as an upgrade?

Adam

No, just means Perception and those based on it (so supernatural perception).

"Ancient Blessing - Character is immune to Slayer and like abilities and
has a fortified spirit, but dies permanently if he/she does anything or
convinces anyone else to do anything that would permanently slay
anyone, including raising as undead. May only attack party members in
self defence."

If you buy this ability and kill a creature without vitae does this trigger the permanent death penalty in this ability.

No it does, but if you slayered them/raised them as undead it would. Broadly its an act to perm someone rather than they die and can't be ressed.

Lee,

Extended length season got me planning ideas....


A wizard multi classes warlock, they don't get an additional colour correct? Just buy as, life, AC etc etc

Correct, its not a cheeky way for more colours

+ How does going rogue work, you get 5 more specialists spells? If you go vochstelen you get grey as a colour?

Rogue/Warlock doesn't due to brackets, so easy.
Wizard going Rogue nothing changes, you have your 5 specialists and don't get more.
Rogue to Wizard you get a colour, mana goes up, but your rogue specialists just transfer to your wizard ones.

Vochstelen a bit trickier. You can still use mana firstly. Having gone and hunted and spoken to people who have done it before:
You can buy as grey wizard (so clarity etc.) and buy innates.
You can't use your mana on grey from Vochstelen. So while you can learn extra specialists/advance grey spells they are separate and you would need someway to learn them as innates.


Power master - going wizard, they get a colour and then can use specailists?

Yep, but their base colours would need to be the same

Crol wizards, get one colour, can they use specailists?

I checked and it appears they can, though based on colour restricitons they could only be ones from colours they could be

Sure some more, but its friday....


how does the above work with mantics? (don't care for this bit, but its Friday )
It's Saturday now...

Hey Lee

A question on Supernatural Tempos

Is it you can have 2 innates, or is it you can use 2 / day (from all sources, like the total heal cap). So if I have 2 innates and spell that grants tempo and an item that replicates 60 points of published abilities 1 / day etc. can I use them all or is it capped at 2 / day?

Thanks

David

You ca have two innates as per published. Non-standards are just that.
Though I will remind if you have a non-standard ability (so in this case S/N tempo) and it then gets published it doesn'tmean you get your version and can buy the extra published ones.

A pathfinder who already has rec mana/spirit/ read runes etc multiclasses into awakener do they lose these skills due to the awakener restriction of can never learn these skills or retain them.as they already lurnt them before the restriction.

Same for make potion skills and then going awakener with the restriction of can never lurn to make anything.

Cheers
JJ

I oddly think I read this somewhere. Restricitons like this (including Thugs potion making etc.) are if you start as the class. So an Awakener goes Pathfinder they can't couldn't get rec mana, but a pathfinder going awakener keeps it.

Lee

Yep, this was an oversight on my part when I wrote the rules for armour layering in the Warrior book. If I were to do it over, it'd mention tribal armour, and as Lee said, you'd need a decent phys-rep for each layer.

How Much do you really Love me Lee?

Less than Greenaway due to you using this forum for the wrong things.

[Forefallen]

Is Palewises a Life/Death effect, or can I res an elf who’s immune to Life/Death as it’s just a spell?

Thanks!
Jack

It depends on what your ability says. It's a res version, so I'd say yes.

Hi Lee

Pass unknown - 'spell is broken if the caster engages in melee combat'

Can you still use neuronics or other silent actions like controlling a dancing sword?

Thanks, Andy

Yep, just melee combat.

Lee

[Ironcore]

Hi lee

Solitaire, do all items apply to the restrictions or are physical items excluded, like life items or items that grant a physical tables ability/skill? Also if any item has had is power used for the day, will it also break the restrictions?

Thanks, Andy

All items, even if you've used the fireblade 1/day break it.

Lee

[Helsvell]

Does Slayer's Blows hurt a target in gasseous form? What about Bane damage? (Assuming the user had a version that doesnt only work against the target).

Thanks,

Peter

Published slayers blows vs a demon in gaseous form yes. Bane isn't published effect, so depends on the ref.

Lee

[Avv]

as items and scrolls can be prepped could a priest of the runes greater rune of total heal be prepped?


Thanks
Adam

No, because the rune just triggers.

Lee

[Avv]

can you with the isp table make a amber magic weaponss
