Hope that encompasses what I need it to do.

with four dice, unless they are all hits, theres no point. does edge use cancel the retry penalty?

If you change "beings" to "entities" or something else. Mages aren't astral beings.

Very creative though.

Edge doesn't cancel the penalty, but it is an opposed test - not a flat threshold. The opposition could very well roll zero hits.

I was going to say astrally projecting entities, but I thought that was a little too technical. I'll adjust if that is okay.

Would it be possible to make a Judge Intentions roll to see if Alzmer is actually as naive as he seems or is just putting us on?

Also as a reminder if it comes to an ambush Frenchy has combat sense.

You can try that if you like.

I'm away from my books, do you happen to remember what the Judge Intentions roll is?

[JackVII]

It's a double stat roll: Charisma + Intuition

[JackVII]

Reminder Ruling Requested:

- The rules for spirits explicitly state that materialized spirits use Astral Perception to perceive the physical world when they materialize and that it is its only sense/perception. (p. 301)
- The rules about the Astral World explain that Astral Perception is what is used to perceive things on the astral plane. It is also described as not exactly sight but a very close metaphor. (p. 312)
- The Spirit of Beasts comes with a host of enhanced sense powers. (p. 303)

So how does that work? Are the powers useless or can the Spirit take advantage of the bonuses provided by the enhanced senses to aid its assensing test when trying to see stuff in the physical world?

Thanks!

[Reminder]

Spirits are also listed as having the perception skill under all the type entries on 303 and 304.

I guess given that, I would read it as though they are always astrally perceiving (which makes sense in a way since a manifest spirit is dual natured), but I have never heard of anyone inflicting the -2 penalty on them for taking actions while doing so. Astral perception is an ability, not a skill and has no roll of its own.

I guess my question is whether a Spirit of Beasts actually benefits from Enhanced Hearing/Scent/etc since those wouldn't seem to impact astral perception. I feel there is a disconnect in the rules there. Given the lack of any kind of timetable for errata, I am not counting on an actual answer to it from CGL.

Also, quick note, I will be on vacation visiting the in-laws from this Saturday through roughly next Sunday. I should have internet access, but I also expect my posting will be sporadic and slowed down. If I am holding the story back for lack of posting, just put me on cruise control.

Judge Intentions on Alzmer. Judge Intentions Charisma 4 plus Intuition 4=8 Dice (8d6.hits(5)=4)

Only for actions on the material plane.
