Till is the language of Voll? I'm a bit confused but Sader makes more sense.

What is Till?

Voll / Yoll are the same thing. The same place, same language.

Here's the original list of languages from Background:
Common = the human language near Red Oak (Brant)
Elvish
Sylvan
Dwarvish
Sader
Yoll
Islander (another group of humans further south)
Thieves Cant (city thieves only at this stage)
Old Speech - a religious language used by the church

[Woe]

Autocorrect issue. Till -> Yoll. I blame Siri.

However, the Voll thing did confuse me. I searched for Voll and found only two instances (this thread being one, the kingdom being the other). Until now, I didn't know they were the same place/kingdom.

Definitely Sader. Talin learned it because he loves the dark-haired lasses from the south and learned it to talk with them. Oh. Hrm. Almost as much as he loves the red-haired lasses from the north. Or west. Or wherever Anna is from.

[Woe]

I know! We need a skeleton key!

Please see the OCD thread RSN for some additional rules about game points, and generating new PCs, if desired.

[Woe]

Cool! For now I'm good with what I have, but we'll see about the future.

[Longman]

No probs.

At some point (by 5th level, if the campaign goes that far), you'd have to decide about the Game Points option. Otherwise, you'd get this motherlode of accrued points all of a sudden, and it wouldn't make much sense that you hadn't used them in critical situations before that time.

The new characters option is ongoing. You may need them if you want to buy some of your own NPCs as characters, or if you meet a race or class you'd really like to play, or, if someone dies.

A thinly-veiled hint in all of this: the game could be about to get more dangerous.

How does one identify magic items? I confess it's been so long that without magic-users with identity spells or someone telling me "that is a ___ of ___", I've forgotten the B/X way of doing it. Is it as easy as "put on goggles/ring" and "swing sword" to learn or is it much more involved? As for the staff, how does one figure that one out? Just start calling out words in various languages until something happens?

[Longman]

Best bet for rings and goggles is probably just try them on and see what happens, if you are game.

The staff? No clue. You might have to know command words, or you might even need to be a wizard of that type. You now have the robot's sword as well (Tiana loses a cantrip). Abigall says it is only a bit magical. It has a small number of human magic runes on it.

BTW - you also have some items from the tree-house that might also be magical: whistle, dagger, piece of crystal. You have never shown Abigall those.

[Woe]

Ok... let's see if I did this right. I still like the "Identify" route better.

[Woe]

As for game points, I can really go either way on this, but not complete on the rules yet. Do I get one per level increase? How does multi-class (Kilian) compute into that? If I'm not using game points for character creation, what level would a new character start with?
