Ask the Staff Anything / Re: Acquisition of Unusual Lan...
Last post by ladybug - Apr 09, 2024, 04:56 PMI do not believe we have allowed Tongues to count as a substitute for learning a language. Among other concerns, it doesn't work for literacy, only speech. I do not have any reasons to see admins changing this precedent.

Ask the Staff Anything / Spellcasting and Ability Score...
Last post by Plot Lost - Apr 09, 2024, 02:15 PMIn a recent post about server changes, I noticed how there was a mention that spellcasting PRCs require actual casting stats in order to qualify. This prompted a question in regards of that, will a character with base 16 in a spellcasting ability score and a +3 item be able to cast level 9 spells?

Ask the Staff Anything / Re: Acquisition of Unusual Lan...
Last post by Plot Lost - Apr 08, 2024, 09:11 AMOh, I do feel little silly now. I only now realized that there is such a spell as "Tongues" on the server, which allows my character to speak all the languages my character should. A level 2 spell for Bards, level 3 spell for Wizards and Sorcerers, and level 4 spell for Clerics and Favoured Souls. It lasts for 10 turns per caster level, so that is 10 minutes per caster level. Well, it checks the need of my character to be able to converse in those desired languages. Which then potentially opens up the possibility of self-learning the language through mimicry of sorts... For example, emote saying and writing things down in these languages, practice what you have written down, and so on. But the DMs would be the judge of that I suppose. Not to mention how that might be considered to be bit of a nuisance in done in public.

General Discussion / Re: New Rates for DMing on CD
Last post by Plot Lost - Apr 03, 2024, 09:33 AMWell, naturally with greater rates there is also the possibility of greater control on the nature and type of the Dungeon Master activities thus funded themselves. I personally would look forward to having Dungeon Masters focus their entire attention to emoting the romance between that male guard and the female guard captain that can be found in the central park of Arabel. Just emoting their forlong gazes at one and other, passing of small gestures of kindness, etc, etc... 24/7.
