The New Magic System

[Brother Thane]

my understanding is the situation where a cleric dispels a mages dispel does not work as the dispel cancels the magic and isn't a lasting effect therefor nothing is left to dispel

[Brother Thane]

but yeah no sleeping through reacting

[gen is hot]

My favorite thing about the new magic system is how much it supports roleplaying!  There are so many options now and I feel like the spells or skills you choose can accurately reflect what makes sense for your character.

Also, I love that rogues get their skills back if they spend time gambling.

Love,
Gen

There will be a reacting to magic workshop at scoundrel going over all this, right?

[Brother Thane]

i believe there will if one of the games will be using the standard system, its so awesome

[Rensep Yrahcaz]

am i the only who who is excited about astral travel? think about it, mage chases in the ASTRAL REALM!!!!!!!!!! you can also throw damage  bolts at other mages that are in astral travel its so epic!!!!!! i encourage all mages to take astral travel and to make cool scenes with it sooo many possibilities   

[Wisp]

God I've been gone too long. Wish I could be there, I really need to sit down with someone to discuss this.
I heard something about two classifications of mage spells. Something about "force spells" that can't be interrupted?
Visual learner. I have to see it in action.

My favorite part is the pyromancer infinite damage bolt cheat for the mages.

Mage Force spells are instant power words that we've pretty much had in the semi-system for ages. The force spells are things like Disarm, Knockdown, Stun, Repulsion and the like.

You pretty much covered everything except...
Warriors- Now have wings, are able to eat souls and can become invisible. For Free.

So, all the classes are:
mages
clerics
artisans
necromancer
rouge
warrior
shieldsman
archer
Did I miss any?

[Todd]

Well, no....The new system officially has Mages, Warriors, Clerics, Artisans and Rogues as official classes. However, each class (Except Warriors) can pick up what are called "Variants." These are powerful ways to spend points that more or less alter the fundamental way a class works. For example, a Artisan can pick up "Runemaster" as a variant. This allows them to draw runes instead of making physical trinkets. Additionally, a Rogue could pick up "Sniper," I believe the name is, and get a blowgun to use in addition to their dagger. Many of these abilities and weapon types are also determined by the current game as well. Perhaps at this one every warrior gets a shield while at another, they have the option to drop the sword for a bow and arrows.

Wow...That works one hell of a lot better than what we had earlier...YAY!

Look. All you need to know is that Artisans are the best class and God only knows why anyone would want to play anything else.
