05:19:27 syv: Hrm. I can do my and Saki's sheets. The update to hers was just a holy symbol, right
ER?
05:26:38 syv: For Emily it's just the tome?
05:26:52 syv: Does
Dev have changes? I can do his too/
05:28:47 ER: species name change, three skills rather than four, buying big sword
05:29:00 ER: so probably will have to talk with him more
05:29:32 ER: or he has it written down already and just hasen't sent it...
05:58:02 ER: wanna prepare a restoration spell and alteration spell in the PM,
syv?
05:59:17 syv: I want to use Faith of Todd to try and get a temporary Scrying spell.
06:01:04 syv: And then my three spells would be some sort of locate object spell (for this mission), a "fully restore body" spell (to heal Asaka if needed), and a "soften solid objects" spell strong enough to ruin a wall's defensive utility. Like Turn Rock To Mud.
06:02:41 ER: again, in PMs not IRC because this is rolls and descriptions
06:05:26 syv: Do I need to send a PM restating that?
06:22:13 syv: Giving me only one alteration spell *and* requiring me to specify the material it targets is awful. That's like letting me prepare "fireball", but I have to choose whether it works on only one of elves, humans, goblins, or dwarves.
06:23:13 syv: Getting the equivalent of a single breaching charge is already weak, don't tell me it outright has a failure chance due to being useless.
06:23:42 Devastator: I don't think I have more changes.
06:23:45 ER: every arcane spell does something specific
06:23:51 Devastator: I sent an update with the one fewer skill.
06:24:20 syv: Okay, so arcane alteration is just a bad and underpowered skill, then?
06:24:41 ER: it can do a wider variety of things than the others
06:24:54 ER: all kinds of sliders to fiddle with
06:25:50 syv: Alright then, what would be a guaranteed useful alteration spell in this situation?
06:28:34 syv: Except when they're made of metal. But alright.
06:29:56 ER: I don't think anyone made a ship *out* of metal when muskets were still the main weapon of choice
06:30:31 syv: They also didn't make flying ships.
06:31:53 ER: consider it setting knowledge
06:32:17 ER: if you find a ship with steel foundations you can be surprised with your character
06:33:10 syv: First iron-hulled ships were built in the 1830s, according to Wikipedis, fyi
06:34:06 Devastator: There were some experimental steamships from around that time, IIRC. Just getting started.
06:34:41 Devastator: Are more changes needed?
06:35:48 syv: Yeah, those ones were experimental, and mostly not quite good enough.
06:36:25 syv: By the 1860s iron hulls were considered better and used in preference by nations with the metal for it. Wood was the cheap alternative.
06:37:39 syv: Muskets didn't fall out of use until the 1880s
06:54:22 Devastator: couldn't you throw a fireball that burns 'flesh'?
06:54:40 Devastator: and then the air burns the target.
07:00:09 Devastator: As for specifying the material, hmm..
07:00:19 Devastator: can the detail be that it only softens 'walls?'
07:02:47 ER: I'd prefer a spell which "does a specific thing" to one which "has a specific result"
07:03:03 ER: since the former lends itself to more planning or creative use
07:03:28 Devastator: can you make a softening line or something?
