Results of Round Three of the Wight Battle: Sarge vs. Wight (twice) - Critical Mortal Hit (Wight: 196 health-(50+0=50x2=100+100=200 dmg)=0 health) Sarge puts Remedy on the Hollow Blade >Jeaux vs. Vampire Bat C - Aim (Vampire Bat C: 33 health-(9x2=18 dmg)=15 health) >Heckz (Ice) vs. Wight Vampire Bat C - Spell (Vampire Bat C: 15 health-(25x2=50 dmg)=0 health; Heckz: -1 ether) To make up for his erratic behaviour on the previous turn, Sarge takes out the Wight with a dual strike from his scissors. He then stores a remedy into them. Jeaux damages the remaining bat, but it's Heckz's spell that kills it. THE BATTLE IS VICTORIOUS! Sarge, Jeaux and Heckz gain half of a level. The enemies drop a crystal ball. Party: Sgt Jon.

Great to know! I was sure TLG would promote their movie in set-form, but a whole collectable minifig series as well? All the better!

If they have a ranged attacking style, then yes. I only put ranged enemies on the back row, though. The afraid-effect does not work on the enemies. It's in the FAQ.

These class changes will be edited into the official rule pages, and I will make it damn sure that everyone checks their class rules for any potential changes. It's of course going to be tougher for QMs, but so is everything in this game, I think. If the mage is attempting to cast a spell, then MISS should deplete one ether. I'll clarify this in the official rule page when I edit it.

Ellaria gets worried and flustered. "Oh! Do you think I got bamboozled? Was that a bad trade in your opinion?"

QM Note: You are right, thanks!

Always a round (or to be specific, till the end of the next round). Confused-effect lasts three rounds.

The Black Knight then goes into hiding, leaving his companions fend for themselves. Jensen is knocked out by the bat that sucked his blood. Jeaux does minor damage to another bat. Heckz's icy spell bursts, dealing great damage to all enemies. With Sarge nowhere in sight, the Wight attacks Jeaux instead. The remaining bat bites Heckz.

"The baby's mother, Drucilla Eldritch, is still very much alive. This is just some poor lost soul trapped in this world in search of her child. The wight must've been attracted to the body of the baby. It's funny how you become an expert at ghostly business just by working at a graveyard..."

The woman turns to the party, and Sarge's suspicions are proven correct as they see her pale, glowing face. "Where's my baby?! What have you done to my baby?!?!" the wight screams at the heroes, and in a flash she attacks them. Four vampire bats hanging on a nearby tree see that their chance to suck some blood has come, and join the ghostly figure in combat. PREPARE FOR BATTLE!

Having no more use for it, Ellaria returns to Fabian's stall and sells him back the Mage's Muffler for 20 gold. (55+20=75 gold) She then traipses to Anwyl's smithy, and asks him to imbue her Topaz into Ignis Fatuus for 50 gold, making it both fire- and lightning-elemental. (75-50=25 gold)

Ellaria is a bit startled at the sudden proposal, but takes a moment to think about it. "Well, that is an awfully tempting offer, Mr. Regulus. I don't have any use for the Coat-of-Arms, myself, while the robe and the scroll would be very useful... Let's make it a deal, then." They proceed to exchange the items in question. Ellaria's mood improves even more due to this lucky occurence. OoC: Duke's Coat-of-Arms (Protects against poisoned and badly poisoned, SP; 5, suitable for knights, dragoons, skirmishers and regulators; bodywear)

Remember that we are talking about how the Artisan could use the pickaxe here. Skillful as they might be, I don't think even an Artisan could use a pickaxe for that. I want to stick with excavating something. If it's not from the enemy, it might be something off the terrain, like in the shovel's case. Maybe a different amount of gold depending on the type of soil, if you guys think the treasures are too much.

The reason behind the name changes of the skills were simply to make them better fit what they do. Mystic Knights don't actually "spin spells", they imbue their weapon with elemental properties and attack "physically". Assassins no longer "reap gold" from all enemies, they attempt mass murder and sometimes gain gold on the side. Sorcerer's skill was completely changed, so there's nothing "magnetic" about it. I was aiming to give the class a stage magician-kind of feeling, too, with the sleight of hand and everything. But like I said, these are all on the table for now. I want to hear your thoughts first before making decisions. I can consider to put it back to being 1/2 chance of being hexed, but adding stealing gold to it. That way witches don't end up with the short end of the stick by having the least useful Shield-skill. Well, Sages are solely dependent on ether - they cannot really act otherwise. I might change the Shield-skill to restore ether equal to their level, though, so that they won't be too carefree. It was just an error from using copy&paste. The sleight of hand only works on the targetted enemy.

QM Note: Gah, complex! I guess Atramor will be taking a flight into the skies as well... It also means that Atramor won't be around to cover for Opalix.

The party next returns to the grave of the Eldritch child. As they approach, they can hear a rising wail coming up ahead, and at the grave they meet a crying woman dressed in grey.

He then switches to Pheles Rod to protect his party members, even though the weapon is of no use against the birds. Thalion follows by making the male roc fragile as well. Then the party starts to deal damage to both birds, who at first seem helpless against them. Benji changes into his beast form, transforming into a ferocious alligator snapping and thrashing on the deck, making even his allies jump aside. Suddenly the male roc flies to the heights in succession, and Atramor warps out of sight as well, due to the effects of his special mirror. This leaves Opalix open to the female roc's attack, but after that the other bird flies away too. Eventually both birds and Atramor all return refreshed and with all negative effects removed. It seems the rocs won't go down that easily, after all...

No. I'm specifically advocating these changes to the ether-based classes to get them to actually spend their ether, so that there's at least some trade-off to being able to dish out that much elemental damage or healing. The last thing I want to do is to allow them to double their ether. And this is coming from someone playing an ether-based class himself.

I already changed that according to Scuba's suggestion.

Some of you may not like this, but as I started to edit the job class rules to fit in the new gold-gaining rule, I decided it was due time to a bigger overhaul to restore balance and purpose to many of the classes. I've mainly focuses on the ether-based classes to make their Shield-skills deplete ether as well. Some barbarian-based advanced classes have gained a buff in power, too. Here's a rundown of what's going to change for each class, so pay attention and shout loudly if you object (none of these changes bar the gold-rule are in effect yet): BASIC Barbarian: no changes. Cleric: "Miracle" will cost 1 ether. If ether is 0, nothing happens. Knight: no changes. Mage: "Magic Burst" will cost 1 ether. If ether is 0, nothing happens. Ranger: no changes. Rogue: "Mug" is redescribed. Mug – The rogue robs the target by striking with strength equal to triple of their weapon power added to their level. (e.g. WP 3 x 3 + Level 2 = 11 damage) If the target carries gold, the rogue steals gold equal to the target’s level. (A big nerf from the original version, but I had to think about consistency). ADVANCED: Assassin: "Gold Reaper" renamed "Grim Reaper". Grim Reaper – The assassin acts as a hired angel of death, assaulting all enemies in a row. There is a 1/6 chance per opponent that the assassin will instantly kill it, unless it is immune to sudden death. If the targets carry gold, the assassin steals gold equal to each target’s level. Battle Mage: "Spellblade" changed to "Ring of Might & Magic". Ring of Might & Magic – The battle mage attacks all enemies with a combination of their weapon and a magic spell, first delivering physical attacks with strength equal to their weapon power added to their level, and then spells of the chosen element with the same strength, with the total cost of 1 ether. (e.g. WP 10 + Level 15 = 25 damage + 25 elemental damage to all enemies). If no element was chosen, it is selected randomly from those available. If all ether is depleted, only the physical attacks are delivered. Black Knight: "Arrogant Prick" nerfed to cause damage equal to 4xWP+Level (otherwise unchanged). Berserker: "War Cry" buffed to cause damage equal to 4xWP+Level if the whole party is already encouraged. Druid: "Roots of Life" will cost 1 ether. If ether is 0, nothing happens. Evoker: "Summon" and "Summon Burst" will both cost 1 ether. If ether is 0, nothing happens. Hunter: no changes. Mystic Knight: "Spellspin" renamed "Spellblade Dance" and made to cost 1 ether. If ether is 0, nothing happens. Paladin: no changes. Raider: "Ravage" is buffed to become more powerful to counter the gold-change, and "STEAL" is redescribed. Ravage – The raider mugs all enemies in a flurry of attacks, causing damage equal to two times their weapon power added to their level. (e.g. WP 10 x 2 + Level 15 = 35 damage to all enemies) If the targets carry gold, the raider steals gold equal to each target’s level./STEAL: If the target carries gold, the raider steals gold equal to the target’s level. Sage: "Magical Vortex" will cost 2 ether. If all ether is depleted, the sage regains full ether instead of acting. Shaman: no changes ("Blood Ritual" still does not deplete ether). Sorcerer: "Magnetic Mojo" changed to "Psychedelic Flourish" and "CONFUSE" changed to "SLEIGHT OF HAND". Psychedelic Flourish – The sorcerer spends 1 ether and flings stupefying spells at all enemies using the most effective element against each, with strength equal to their weapon power added to their level, and leaves them stunned. (e.g. WP 10 + Level 15 = 35 elemental damage + stunned to all enemies)Then, if the targets carry gold, the sorcerer steals gold equal to each target’s level. If none of the available elements are effective against the target, or if all ether is depleted, nothing happens./SLEIGHT OF HAND: The sorcerer spends 1 ether to give the target the confused-effect for the next three rounds, during which it has a 50/50 chance of targeting another enemy instead of the heroes, and if the targets carries gold, the sorcerer steals gold equal to each target’s level. If all ether is depleted, nothing happens instead. Warden: no changes. Witch: "Mass Illusion" will cost 1 ether, but the hexed-effect is guaranteed on all enemies. If ether is 0, nothing happens. EXPERT: Alchemist: no changes. Beast Warrior: "STEAL" redescribed like in Raider's case. Cannoneer: no changes. Chi Monk: "Chakra" will cost 1 ether and include the newer positive effects as well. Chakra – The chi monk spends 1 ether and focuses inner energy to recover full health and remove all negative effects from themselves. The chi monk is then bestowed by the blessed-effect, recovering 3 health at the end of each round. On subsequent rolls of Chakra, the chi monk receives one additional positive effect in the following order: transcended, hastened, lucky, encouraged, enforced, inspired. If all ether is depleted, the chi monk will regain full ether instead of acting. Dragoon: no changes. Minstrel: no changes. Necromancer: no changes. MASTER: No changes to any class. Please discuss.

It's a good thing then that I put it up for evaluation. It's called Artisan because it uses tools and creates things. I see no logical fallacy in that...
