Having been there myself on another forum long ago, I'm happy for you. I may not exactly be a major player in the thread or said journey, but past and now alike I'm glad to read you were able to explore these matters in comfort and fellowship; Likewise to hear I had the chance to pay all my old friends forward, in the form of whatever small part I played in your sense of community. ^_^
Are you implying that a demon of Tzeentch would balk at betraying someone just because it mean that it would lose the game? the demons of the chaos god who spend half his time plotting how to unravel it's own plots?
There a chance that most of the favor will fall under "will be granted when prove useful" category like the skaven books and waaagh and peace, so the initial favor payout might be less than the thread hope for.
They don't get a choice, that's why it's a punishment.
On the other hand new codified spells are always in demand by the collages so initial favor migth be good enough for our purposes. I mean MAP did well and we later got a second helping of favor when somebody else took it a step further so new spells look like good idea to me.
I personally think the spell is too Specialized to give much favour. It's a difficult spell that is only really useful if you can cast it continuously and that needs a battle wizard or higher magister to perform.
Making the roads no sucky is such a logistical boon that its actually a very strong spell.
Make roads not sucky is a vast understatement of what RoW can in the right tactical situation, but yes, this is a highly specialized spell that is only useful in the right condition and with the right army to be deployed with. on the good new it offer a lot of marshals and knight orders something that is very valuable to them, so the moment it will be deployed in a proper imperal battle, not a dwaven expedition to the distant north, we might see an explosion in popularity.
It's only a logistical boon if you can do it continuously and not randomly explode.
You certainly did a lot to change my life, and I would say definitely in a better way. I'm happy in my new identity and in my new hobby, and reading your updates is a highlight to my day.
True, but you're assuming RoW can be codified well enough to be useable at all. And of course, unlike MAP, it can't be modified for other winds, which is what got the second round of favour IIRC.
I am secure in my assumption because Melkoth has taken one look at the precursor version of the spell and actually cast it. Headache nonwithstanding- we have spent a lot AP on this already since then so I think it is a very good bet.
Regimand said something to that effect, largely because his job benefits from it. Having something for a quick stealthy kill that doesn't involve throwing projectiles has its benefits.
Any time a Grey Battle Wizard participates in a campaign in rough terrain or with cavalry, there is some benefit to be had in a surprise charge that ignores terrain concerns.
You are a good woman Codex, and we're here for you.
Exactly. Ignoring weather and terrain for cavalry is a pretty nice situational utility.
My one concern here: I don't think it's a good idea to do the capstone with Max alone. It's one of the four major parts necessary to make a waystone proper and if it was as simple as investigating with two Magisters, the Colleges may have seen more success with it. Part of the project is trying to see what insights disparate disciplines may have on given topics, too. At the very least, I would prefer to do it with Thorek and Johann, given that metals are their specialties.
