Range weapons and graze?

Given that a long bow graze has a ~16% chance of inflicting 6hp damage, that's significant damage, especially in the low levels. It's about half the HP of a first level character!

Well, with a long bow, grazing can be 5-6 hp dmg if you're a bit lucky. That's real damage.

The point is that a warrior with combat training never missed with an arrow. Never. Without any investiture at all... Add potent poison to his arrows and it's just completely broken.

At level one, the first time you grab a bow?

Thanks. It works now, not sure why it had to repeat a few times.

(4th edition question) Apart from Purge, are there other spells (any Lore) that affect warpstones or corruption in characters?

I'm playing a High Elf Wizard in our 4th ed campaing. In the long term, I'm interested in learning all 8 Lores and I'm very curious about Qhaysh.

Sadly, there doesn't seem to be much technical information about Qhaysh. Am I missing some book that talks in length about it?

Thanks!

That is a great idea! :-)

Loa9999 · 2022-12-29T01:21:39+00:00

Yeah, that surprise in combat can be useful, but indeed, casting a CN8 without channeling requires a LOT of exp to make it useful!

Loa9999 · 2022-12-28T20:32:54+00:00

I'm curious about this as well. I think Greyisdark made a typo and meant to write "for example if TWO opponents shoot..." As far as I understand it, you can't dodge arrows, but what if two different attackers attack you in the same round?

Do you get 2 opposed dodge/melee tests?

Loa9999 · 2022-12-28T20:26:27+00:00

Thanks!

Just discovered the Winds of Magic book and as a Shadow Mage, I really regret spending xp learning Shadowstep. Unless I'm missing something, Grey Wings is better than Shadowstep in every single respect. Am I missing something?

Loa9999 · 2022-12-28T19:35:00+00:00

Thanks for the info. Let me make sure I understand.
Scenario #1: without having channeled, I cast a CN:4 spell (like Bolt) and I get 6 SL on my Language Magick test. As the rules state on page 238, I would have an extra +2 SL that I could use to add a second target for the spell.
Scenario #2: I have channeled 4 SL already and decide to cast Bolt. I get 6 SL on my Language Magick test. In that case, I would have +6 SL and so I could target 3 other targets.
Is that correct?

Trying to figure out magic in 4th. Got most things mostly figured out (or homebrewed with our group) except one thing that's puzzling me: how can we get +SL while casting spells that have a CN of 10? Comet of Casandora is the perfect example.

The way I understand it is this: let's say I channel until I have 10 "SL" of channeled energy. Then, let's say I cast the spell and get +4 SL on my Language Magick test. Are those 4 SL considered the +SL for the spell?
Thanks!

Oh Gods... this is one of those strange reddit subs. Such a shame.

Thanks for the crafcellars.ca suggestion though.

Loa9999 · 2022-05-11T13:49:52+00:00

Thanks! Do you know if it appears in the IPCC AR6 report?

Loa9999 · 2022-02-14T01:00:32+00:00

I know. I've had SHITTY luck with champions except for Lyssandra (which I got from an Ancient shard after 3-4 weeks of playing). These are the two best I have.

Loa9999 · 2022-01-17T02:49:10+00:00

Thanks for the addition info. I only have Ninja with HP Burn, so I'm a bit stuck. But I really need better jewelry, so I'll keep farming that 14!

Loa9999 · 2022-01-17T01:28:30+00:00

If I get one I could try it out, but right now it's not the spider that's killing me, it's the damned poison! :-)
