Mathilda has no training with long-arms. She doesn't own a long-arm. The long-arm she doesn't currently have isn't enchanted. Meaning we would need to invest an absolute minimum of three actions to become a sniper. The skill and enchanting mechanics being what they are we would probably have to invest nearer to ten actions to become a good sniper.
Maybe, but a teleporting magic sniper seems like a really good strategic asset to me. Also, awesome as fuck.
 
Ah, but where you find warpstone, you also find gromril, and no site containing both is called a warpstone mine, is it?
SV needs a Big Thonk rating, just for posts like this.
Imagine how a blacksmith who made weapons would feel about someone that picked up fistfuls of molten iron with their bare hands and smacked their enemies in the face with it.

That you seem to have unscorched hands and a lot of greenskins are running around with cooling iron where their faces should be might earn his grudging respect, but that won't for a moment make him think that what you are doing isn't really stupid.
Of course he can't out and say this because in dwarven psychology that might invite Mathilde to ask him to teach her. So he'll just harumph at us until we miscast, at which point he definitely won't say he told us so. But his scowl will say it.
 
@BoneyM That segment does make me think though. How often do Empire Magister work with dwarves? You'd think in the decades and centuries since the college was founded, there would be enough time for dwarves to experience how the orders work.

Magister have worked with Dwarves on some other major dwarven camping in the old world, by this point, didn't they?
I just mean I'm a big surprised, how not prepared our current dwarves are for working with manling wizards.
Though that may answer my own question.
 
Wizards have only been legal in the Empire for 175 years. Gyrocopters have been around for a century longer than that, and many Dwarves still consider them dangerously newfangled and untested.
 
@BoneyM IC was Dame Weber friendly wiith other grey wizards aside from her master, and did she socialize with them during her early days? Was there any other apprentice/journeymanling that rivaled our potential?
 
No, you tried to get in touch with those acquaintances early on and it turns out you rubbed their noses in it a bit too much when you got the sudden promotion.
And than forgot about all of them for the next, oh, five to ten years. That diplomacy 10 rating isn't just for show folks. Think about what actual friends Mat has? Anton, Wilhelmina, her old Master. I think that's about it. Dwarf friends don't count here, they are work friends. Which is what Anton and Wilhelmina started as.

Really, most of her relationships are acquired from work. She never really socialized outside of it.

EDIT: Mat's a workaholic, is what I'm saying. Also a magical nerd on top of it. And a really scary Magical Knight. All these things do not help with the whole, friendship and love stuff.

I find it rather amusing that the Goblins, having lost the wings needed are now resorting to shooting Wingless Goblins at the dwarves. It's no wonder they aren't accurate since it's a situation where already inaccurate Greenskin gunnery skills firing inconsistently weighted projectiles that aren't at all aerodynamic and with a device that was never designed to be accurate since the Doom Diver was supposed to do the aiming.

This is also the first time Kragg the Grim has gone on campaign in living memory. He may well not have done so since before the Colleges were founded. He doesn't seem the type to put excessive trust in second or third hand reports.

Worse, they're also continually refining and inventing new magic, so the current Colleges are probably significantly more capable than the original ones were, apart from the High Elves' direct pupils, who would be disliked for other reasons...
 
As I understand it, Diplomacy 10 is average for a human, so she can socialise at an ok level, providing nothing special but not providing any detriments. So she can make friends just fine but not really built for getting material advantages through charismatic approaches.

Hey, we used to have lots of friends!

It's just that a lot of them came down with a bad case of Sylvania...
 
Yeah, for a wizard, we're above average at socialism.
Comrade! You too follow the Great Leader, Ranald the Liberator!
Let us throw of the shackles of our noble oppressors and free our brother's and sisters from their yoke of tyranny!
For the Revolution! For Ranald! Let slip the blood of patriots and death to nobility!
Freedom! Freedom! Let rise the proletariat! For the Revolution!
