No, for various reasons up to and including "the QM said so", we can't have two sets of enchanted armour at the same time.
The wizard armour can stack with a wizard spell, but it can't stack with a second set of armour.

Our current tower scorched half a million orcs in one shot.
I don't think any tower is going to be omore impressive than that.

[] Plan trick out our current ride
-[]Enchant our gyrocopter to the highest possible "safe" standard enabled by colleges
[] Plan Armour of von Tarnus on Lease
[] Plan Pickle
[] Plan Rainbow Throng
-[] Colleges march to war on one campaign of our choosing (Dwarf or Nexus reclamation)
[] Plan make us best robes possible
-[] With inclusion of We-Silk
[] Plan Vow of Poverty no More
These are ones i am comfortable with so far and that i will vote for tomorrow morning. I will probably add some form of tower vote because i don't trust any of you to not vote airship and it needs a contender, but i would much rather any of these six won.

Yes? I even said that in my own post. I'm asking if we couldn't be placed in charge of vitae and vitae-product production. But apparently the guild-like structure I was hoping for wouldn't be legal, according to the boney one.

Of they grey college side of things? Sure.
If we pick the flying tower will there be options to have a docking port built on the 8 Peaks tower so when it docks it can be aesthetically pleasing, or building a docking port in our fief.
I think, a good question would be, "whats the next project for webmat?"
Because i am sure they can help with that.
We? We are going on elfcation( i sure hope we do)
But we have an organisation with a focus of working with different magics and religions.
Are we continuing waystone research?
(Pro: there is a lot more to do Contra: They are already building waystones and are going to continue doing so for a while, so i doubt what we find next will be immediatly applicable)
Are we looking to help dwarfs with runeresearch?( by providing more tools to them. Not researching ourselves!)
Are we asking the grey lords if they have a project?( im sure they have some ideas that would be useful for any sane power)
Are we looking into spirits?
( my personal favourite, there is a lot you can do, especially if you combine divine and arcane knowledge)
Are we looking into making magic more accesibel?( growing materials that are especially magic conductive, investigating wind mushrooms, studying magical beings( if we want to have our love join our project))
- You probably have a lot of your own ideas.
I dont like the idea of a flying transport as a reward. We have a gyrocopter, that fullfills most of the stuff i would like a skyship for.
It could do more, but an upgrade to an already awesome perk seems,well small.
Honestly, i would like to use this in relation to the lizardmen, but we know next to nothing ic, and im not going to wait on a maybe, so im looking through the thread for stuff i like.
So far, the only thing i found worth it is the allowence on research to destroy/recycle dhar.

Considering we have stuff written by both Vlad von Carstein and W'Soran languishing in our 'to be studied' pile along with that Kurgan loot, I'm doubtful us getting around to that.

How about a knightly order of Mammoth Battle Altar Wizard Cavalry?
Look, I really think that this is the way forward. Going on adventures leading a bunch of mammoths solves the main weakness of wizards/artillery: getting swarmed. Suddenly you have a height and mass advantage, and the mammoth defends itself.
Want to retake a nexus? A Mammoth Battle Altar is a great way to start. Want a Ranaldian knightly order? A ton of mammoths are sneaky because they can threaten others into not being noticed. It has obvious benefits for a the coming of chaos.
Unironically, something like:
[] Mammoth Battle Altar Wizard Cavalry, in which we are granted a trained mammoth (or a mammoth in training that doesn't cost AP to train), in which we eventually make Mammoth the standard (not the only, but the standard) vehicle for Battle Altars.
This has two parts that I know different groups in the quest enjoy. First, it's awesome and it touches on story. But second? It synergizes well with our making of orbs of sorcery as well as solving one of the main weaknesses of artillery, so it fits nicely with the type of people who want to set up institutions that have a compounding interest effect improving the forces of Order.

Mathilde mentions that its possible that Fozzricks flying fastness would not look out of place there so i think its sort of a given.
EDIT: I also do not think Von Tarnus Armour needs studying. ITs not a lost artifact of golden age, its a project of a genius made a century ago or so. If it could be researched, it already would be. For all we know, there is an enchantment all ready to go. Its just that noone uses it because better stuff can be made.

Something I've been wondering for a while but would it be safe to say that Mathilda is the Leonardo da Miragliano of magic?
Consider all the break-throughs in various fields she has made over the years:
Consider all the break-throughs in various fields she has made over the years:
- Whaaag and Peace, a breakthrough in understanding how the Whaaag of Orcs and Goblins functions, and how best to counter them.
- The double whammy of proving the existence of Eshin Sorcerers and non-necromancy magic that functions by mixing another Wind and Dhar (Ulgu in this case).
- Translating Queekish. Technically it's Low Queekish but the discovery that there are different dialects of Queekish is notable in and of itself.
- Having two spells added to the general Grey Wizard spell book is notable for how rare/uncommon such changes are made.
- And now the Aethyric Vitae, a study into the base mechanics of magic. Something which allows for the creation of more Orbs of Sorcery.

- The order was taken directly from this update: it's the Wheel of Magic starting at the current Supreme Patriarch's College and proceeding from there.
- I also like our current staff! Our current staff is about as good as can be reasonably hoped for! We rolled a six! The thing I am looking for is to get better at Turning so that when we make Eike's staff out of the wood that once held the lower half of a dryad's form (or "buttwood" to use the technical term), we have better odds of making something great and less odds of wasting our time and materials.
It's only a plan when you're voting for things from multiple colleges. Source:
That's not bad, I'd support that if Boney allowed it.
The Armour is already enchanted. The enchantment is what lets it be usable without interfering with spellcasting, what gives it the ward save in the tabletop and whatever the narrative equivalent of that is here, and presumably what lets Aethyric Armour stack with it. So we can't have a second enchanted item in the same slot.
The pedant in me ("what do you mean in you, you just are a pedant" True, but rude of you to say so) wants to point out that cavalry derives from Italian cavallo, horse, and as such a military unit mounted on mammoths would clearly be mammothry.
I read through the update and then many of Boney's posts, and wow things got very silly very fast.
Personally, I'm voting for allowing Mathilde to study ways of eliminating Dhar. We've already got some Secrets we can apply to the topic, and it's a nice way to tie back to the Liber Mortis and Abelhelm.

Well, I've been wanting an extended expedition into Nehekara, with a look towards deep lore, the nature of the divine, and unearthing secrets of the Old Ones.
We can start by learning High Nehekaran and unearthing that tomb near Gretel's place, then translating the notes and scrolls we have, before moving deeper into Nehekara itself (depending on what we learn from the scrolls).
A mobile research base—such as a flying tower—would be ideal for that, and give us a safe location to operate from.

Oh right i almost forgot
[] Mammoth (not necessarily War mammoth)
-[] With a lifetime handler to ensure seamless takeover and then take care of its needs when we are not available.
I will NOT forget the Mammot, even if all of you do. Mammoth is love. Mammoth is life.

I mean the tower/skyship is cool and all but we already have our own gyrocopter to get to places quick.
How often do/did we need to go somewhere slower but with more space/armor?
I feel like a flying x is more a solution in search of a problem.
As such what would we do next step with a flying x:
- flying skyship for touring with Empress Heidi
- flying casino, because gambling laws don't apply in international airspace

It's less a solution seeking a problem, and more of giving us additional options in solving solutions in the future. Will every problem we encounter benefit from a flying tower? No, of course not. But there will be problems where the option of having a flying tower available would be very powerful.

Yes, but modern tank groups are called cavalry, which is what I'm comparing it to. It's mobile, is very resistant to normal infantry, and has an artillery piece as it's center piece.
Having read more, I'd ditch the 'knightly order' part, as you don't want to bunch them all up in a group, but I still do support making mammoths the standard mount for battle altars. It has a huge compounding effect, not even getting into greater trade with Norscans in hopes to wean them off of chaos.
We got a rough estimated via comparison.
If a flying tower has speed 2 a air ship has speed 6 and anything that needs to start and land is about speed 20
I want enchanters from each college to be permanently assigned to WEBMAT. Our Windherding is so terribly limited by only having Ulgu and Hysh to work with.
