I like maths though

I'm ok with my character !

Are we going to be six players or only 5 ?

The concept I'm using for magic in this world runs along the lines that metal interferes with the flow and shaping of the arcane energies. So it will interfere where you are a sorcerer, magic user, or druid. Long answer short: sorry but no daggers. Now before you go looking for an obsidian blade I am also using the house rule of magic users only being able to use staves as weapons as a counterbalance to the amount of magic options I'm allowing. GM fiat as they say. Besides, obsidian daggers smacks to me of sacrifices and that's a cleric sort of thing.

micromanaging gear/encumbrance etc. is some of my least favorite aspects of gaming.

It does get tedious. If I have the time I'll see what I can do.

I'm waiting on hearing from one of the players on the waiting list. If I can get him started right away it'll be six otherwise five.

So us fighter types running around in metal armor will be immune to magic? Excellent!

Oh wait... I bought studded leather. Sigh...

Just the shaping and casting it would seem. I assume the energy itself is invisible and the metal blocks it out (a bit like how beta particles are). Spell casting transforms the magical energy into an other form of energy which enacts the spell. Can I have 8 staves? (they cost two sp in the book so I assume that means cp in this world) Nah just kidding but get ready for decimals-my calculator is ready.

Actually don't worry, it works out if I have 2.

Now that would be a downright logical conclusion...in a world ruled by logic and science and not magic.

We are getting a new player so there will be six of you. Longman will be joining us. RSN.
