Re: Pyramid #3/109: Thaumatology V
Sorry, I was unclear. I meant, select your spells from the Teramancy list first, getting all the ones that you want to start with, and then get any general spells that you need.
Also, you can sacrifice up to 4 points of advantages for 4 style perks.

Re: Pyramid #3/109: Thaumatology V
I certainly did! This issue was great fun all around, and I must say I especially liked the new alchemy stuff in Magnum Opus. Nice work, there!

Re: Pyramid #3/109: Thaumatology V
The article is, seriously, one of the best pieces I have ever seen in Pyramid. Conceptually strong, intriguing in its approach, systemless (and I usually gravitate toward the crunchy articles). My only regret is that my current low fantasy game would not really have anywhere to fit it in, but I will hang on to it for future use. Great work, JET.

Re: Pyramid #3/109: Thaumatology V
I have a question about the recipe costs in James Amaral's "Magnum Opus." i really enjoyed the article, but am a little baffled by the math -- perhaps I am misunderstanding something, but two of the sample elixir recipe costs look to me to be incorrect:
In GURPS Magic, the recipe cost for a Healing elixir is $50. In the article, Healing has a listed BRYW of +1/-1/+1/+2, which would make it $200, no? ($25+$25+$25+$125). Is Healing in the article perhaps meant to be Health, which does have a recipe cost of $200? Likewise, an Elixir of Hearing is listed in Magic as $125 but the article has its BRYW as +1/-1/-1/+1. This is less of an issue as one could just add a specific reagent worth $25 to match it up, but I just want to make sure there is not something I am overlooking in understanding of the calculation of costs. |

The Healing Elixer's BRYW is actually a typo caused by a miscommunication between me and the editor (sorry Steve). The proper BRYW should be +0/+1/+1/+0 as listed in the example text under Alchemy 101 given on pg. 4. The Elixir of Hearing is a case of unavoidable but minimized difference. To get an exactly $125, the BRYW would need to have only one statistic at a +/- 2, which isn't allowed as it allows you to brew an elixir with only one measure of an Essential Prima Materia. I could have also listed it as something like +0/-1/+2/+0, resulting in a cost of $150. A specific reagent worth $25 could be used, I suppose, although those were generally intended to be used only for the more powerful (and expensive) elixirs so that the lesser ones could be improvised more readily.

Re: Pyramid #3/109: Thaumatology V
Posted this in the DFRPG section... Better suited here I think
Only thing missing were Mage-Hunter Lenses for other classes like Knight, Swashbuckler or Barbarian. That would be very nice if anyone has examples of such lenses. I especially see a Knight Mage-Hunter Lens being very useful. |
