Oh cool, I can proceed with my evil plan *cackles*
Two questions: 2.5 times my current MR is 12.5, what happens to the .5 point? And who's magic GM now? I need to run a hero past them.

I'm pretty sure you round down and it's still Theravis (but also subject to sanity checks from the rest of the mods)

And for my new magic quest, now that I know about the absolute value thing:
Spending 1 EP to narrow theme choices to Populism, Cornucopia, Tradition (1-3 respectively).
Modifier: +2 (Currently in recession) -2 (Incurred modifier to limit choices)

Alright, this seems pretty norm-
Uhh... Spain?
Are you spending more money than there is in my entire country on your military, despite having no immediate threats to your nation?

Spain has a gigantic navy. For... some reason. And they haven't even tried to use it to retake their colonies yet. Wimps.Alright, this seems pretty norm-

I think the reason is 'France, Wales, and the USE'.
Like, some of the military spending in Europe is madness.

My military spending is actually down from last turn.Alright, this seems pretty norm-
Uhh... Spain?
Are you spending more money than there is in my entire country on your military, despite having no immediate threats to your nation?
But, since people appear to have doubts about my expenditures, let me outline my reasons:
- I like toying with my military.
- National Prestige. Spain has been in a downward spiral for a long time, and literally one of my factions could just as well be called "Make Spain Great Again". I don't have or want colonies and there aren't easily-winnable wars in the horizon, so how do I cement Spain as a Great Power? "The budget of the Spanish Armada is bigger than that of some governments" is my answer.
- No threats? Apparently USE and the Papalcy don't exist? And even if I have decent-ish relations with them, I do border a Superpower.
- Spain read the Uptimer history books that went "And then the Empire collapsed, and Spain wasn't relevant to anything ever again" and freaked the fuck out.
- I might not have a huge amount of influence and international power due to a lack of colonies or vassals, but when the Great Powers are deciding whose opinion matters and whose doesn't, 7,000MP Navy is a potent negotiating tool.
- Spanish Italy is a thing. I might not be particularly expansionist, but I'll fight for every square inch of that clay.
- Spain relies on sea trade. The ability to not be blockaded, ever, is quite useful.
- It's easier to build the military now, rather than when the bullets start flying.
- Living memory of your world-wide empire being partitioned like a pie is a hell of a drug.
- 14 EP is a lot, yes, but it isn't that disproportional to my total budget.

Ah, so you can't do something like that. Thought so.

But it says you can?
Spends an EP to limit the theme choices to one of 3, rolls a 1d3, and gets 2 (Cornucopia). Cornucopia provides a +2 modifier, limiting outcomes provides a -2 modifer, so in the end it's a +0 modifier with Cornucopia theme for the cost of 1 EP. Unless I'm missing something, there doesn't seem to be an issue here.

I think he means the overall EP you need for a quest.

Wait, but you don't have to spend an EP for that.....

Does.... anyone else want to RP?
