On that, how will replacement characters be handled? I like to have one ready and will prep my mage to have in reserve. |

No, RPM charms are a bit like, well, spell-grenades -- you break them to release a spell previously cast into them. |

Re: [OOC] A Stranger Land
To Lamech -- I just thought I'd clarify that Crossroads might still be useful in the campaign, just not to get home with ;)
To Barna10 -- I confess to being a bit confused by all the various uses of the "path" keyword; it looks like your mage character is based on the ritual magery rules on page 72 of Thaumatology (and not being confused with anything in the Path/Book section), yes? Regardless, I might be concerned that he's heavily dependent on spell-slinging. Outside of some social skills, he has no practical ways to contribute to a combat or a campsite outside of magic. I might invoke the Rule of 20, or you could voluntarily knock Thaumatology down 2 or 3 pips and use those points for some practical skills. |

Besides, seeing as how 17+ is always a failure, effective skill levels above 16 are theoretical anyway, aren't they? (At least for things that aren't always facing Magic Resistance or something.) |

Re: [OOC] A Stranger Land
What is WAI?
Anyway I do think the rule of twenty is needed for the ritual magic from basic. Otherwise you can cast every spell ever at a high skill level. Which is a little silly. And the bigger problem is that buying a skill gives +1 to all spells, which means you effectively have a 4 point magery advantage. Oh and high skill levels do wonderful things, mainly reduce the maintenance cost. Furthermore each "on" spell you have gives a -1 to all castings. So skill over 16 means you can have more "on" spells and the "on" spells can be more powerful. |

Re: [OOC] A Stranger Land
No problem, I'll just drop the ritual magery. Not going to worry about it too much right now, sticking with other character for start of campaign. When is the start?
