Re: 1879: The Expendables
Lord Bentley's Journal Entry, day 19 out of Caracas As expected, we reached the mighty Orinoco river early the morning after my last journal entry, and mid-morning two days later we arrived at the village of Caicara del Orinoco, where we spent the rest of the day and a night. We paid off the boatman...

Re: [Thread Item] Favu's Big Hammer
Does need fleshing out. How far are you envisioning the hammer can be thrown for damage, and how far the "throw hammer / transport" thing will work? Are we talking throwing axe ranges here or what? Specifically writing out that you get to make a Thrown Weapon attack as a Melee Talent attack (which t...

Re: Lightbearers as a Path
Astral Shift seems superior to Netherwalk in that it allows others to be shifted, but should probably have some of the same "take damage as long as in astral space" problems as well, otherwise it would be too superior. Didn't think of that Talent. And now that you mention it, I wonder why the "take...

Re: Lightbearers as a Path
Armor of Light needs a duration. Astral Shift seems superior to Netherwalk in that it allows others to be shifted, but should probably have some of the same "take damage as long as in astral space" problems as well, otherwise it would be too superior. Shimmer is messed up, the first paragraph and th...

Supply and Demand [Spoilers]
"You are all doing excellent work!" Old Cusa praised the job being done by the group of young men and boys. "This project will provide fresh clean water to your entire village! Never underestimate the value of clean water. It was bad water that sickened the crew of that whaling ship all those years ...

Re: Astral Perception
I'm not sure about the 'no drawbacks' part for Astral Savant. The description states that : The target of this spell becomes partially subsumed in astral space and perceives it without any filtration offered by the Astral Sight talent and, furthermore, states that the person using this suffers dama...

Re: Astral Perception
As I understand it, This is kind of a holdover from from the old Earthdawn 1st edition's relationship with Shadowrun. In Shadowrun, Magicians can "Astrally Project", wherein their meat body goes comatose but their spirit can move around on the Astral Plane. A person can be moving and fighting on the...

1879: The Expendables
Journal Entry, day 13 out of Caracas We have been making good time down the tributary, and our own navigation, plus the boatman and guide all agree that we should reach the Orinoco within hours tomorrow. It will then be just a day or two of further travel to reach the village from which we will star...

Re: Blood Elf Children
I find the answer that they are all born without thorns surprising. I understood that the Ritual of Thorns changed many of the creatures of the Blood Wood spontaneously, Such as for example the Ethandrille breed was more or less accidentally and permanently changed and they now breed true with thorn...

Re: Shantaya’s Sextan
I could not find a price for in-game Sextants, but did find a description and picture (attached) in the Barsaive Boxed set. The BBS also has a map marked up to be used with the Sextant. The "Rod" is just a ruler, marked for "days walking and days riding". The "Astrolabe" is just a weird protractor. ...
