But what if after you kill yourself, your party decides not to bring you back. And they keep it for themselves. :twisted:

Dirtdazzy,
I forgot to ask, are you a good pixie or a bad pixie?

Wouldn't you like to know. . . .

Isn't it obvious?

Douglas,
I will add it to the FAQ to discuss with Jeff.

I personally do not care much about the person being truly dead. If you really want to burn the potion, I would not prevent it, but I think that is one for Jeff to officially answer and I will try and get him to address it. He may really want the person to die from Dungeon related causes, not personal or assisted suicide so to speak.

Clearly you can tell that I was thinking of Indy being in your party.
Watch your tokens around him.

Just kidding Indy.

Which of course brings up the Mae West quote

Funny, I was thinking more Groucho Marx,

I wouldn't want to belong to any club that would have me as a member.

Some questions regarding the tokens:

Specifically for a Mage, how is "to-hit AC15" determined? If I remember correctly, Mages went to the "Element Board" to determine spell effectiveness by selecting something hidden from a board based on memory. If this is the case, what is the difference between AC 15 and say AC20? Alternatively, if this is done with a slider, where does the "board" come into play?

So the general question here is, for which tokens are the "board" and "beads" used? Which are automatic? And which are slid on the combat board? This could affect the value down the road.

Thanks,
Douglas

Wern't mage spells either totally successful or a total failure if they did not reveal the correct hidden word? I do seem to recall the mage having to throw on the battle board for a spell I believe...this could be the "must hit AC 15 or better...I seem to recall the mage aiming not for the 20 but for the best chance at putting the slider into an area of scores over 15.

Could be wrong - did not pay perfect attention to the mage.

As the Cleric - I can confirm that if you did not get the right bead but got close - the DMs had a picture/table where they could give "partial" credit on a heal spell for example.

Could it be the difference between a Scroll (which a bard can also use) and a spell (which only a Mage can cast)?

George

George/Gary/everyone else,

Hrm... so perhaps "to-hit" damage scrolls are determined by the combat board.

For the automatic damage (burning hands, Magic missle) perhpas go to the Element Board.

Everything else is automatic?

Interesting.... so the Bard will need to have knowledge of both his book, the beads, AND the Element Board to cast spells. Or maybe not based on Georges question. But assuming this is the way it works, I don't think paradigm has been fully realized in the price guide. For example, Flame Arrow can be good for a Bard (slider) but not Burning Hands (elements).

Interesting...

Hopefully, Dave or Jeff or someone who knows will comment because I don't think this was completely clear in the FAQ.

dequils,
As I recall from last year, the mage only had to make a memory check when casting spells from a spell book. No memory test was required to read a scroll. I cast magic missle several times to avoid the spell failure due to bad memorizations.
I don't remember ever using a "to hit" scroll, but it makes sense to me that the DM would have the mage toss the slider to indicate their roll.
I believe the Bard would be able to use the scrolls without having to make a memory check, but I bet that there may be some reduction in the spell. For instance, last year at Indy our bard attempted to solve a trap while our theif was occupied; she had to perform it with her off hand (very difficult--shows that she was untrained in lock picking skills).
