He believes they exist, but Arnum is something more than them, the one true god among the other pretenders to the throne.

Shoot, wait, am I suppose to update my character sheet for Jewel's new level?

[Remuthra]

I think so, yeah.

I recommend the Search function.

[Ross Vernal]

Works for me. Nice feat, by the way.

To be clear about "paths", it means you can take the Act Complete Experience as either two levels in whatever you like, or to gain a variable amount of levels in the options I provide.

It kinda depends on your character - Myrln will have opportunities to level in, say, Winter Knight, Fire Elementalism, or the "general options" while Morgrod would have options to train under a high level Darshendros Priest or explore Death with their skull buddy back at the noble castle.

Everyone will have the option to study under the ninth level Swordsman who will be at the Adventuring campus, or the Bodyweaver, or a few other choices.

[Remuthra]

Works for me. Nice feat, by the way.

Thanks. I figured what I've been thwarted by so far has mostly been magic, so I'd want either increased magic resistance (in part to mess with a certain bard ) or increased ability to ignore magical defenses ("magic piercing", so I could smite traitorous wards against my sword damage).

[Ross Vernal]

25% magic resist will be handyf or that.

What difference if the healing of heretics is resisted? The lack of effectiveness is further proof of their heresy!

[Remuthra]

Clearly any resistance to heretical magics is given by Arnum. Hence, any healing which is ineffective must be either weak, due to a lack of faith in Arnum or improper practices, or was obviously carrying some subtle heretical harm which has been deposed. What if the healing was really weak because the other part of it which was resisted was mind control?

(Mechanics Question: How broad is magic resistance? Does it apply to enchantments? Does it apply to potions, etc? Are magically-derived substances rendered ineffective?)

[Ross Vernal]

Direct influence on you, with some overlap for your stuff depending on aura and dramatic necessity. If someone explodes the general area, you resist that.

Potions work, enchants on your stuff works, etc. There is also a small bonus versus non magic abilities, too.

[Rolepgeek]

Hmmm...

So with that logic, what would Thales think when his magic gets resisted by a heretic? By which I mean his purging magic.

Also, Daethwin is already Weak Against Thales-type attacks. His Flaw, remember? Weak to Angel/Demon/Faery-kin.

[Remuthra]

Well, clearly it is either a sign of a lack of faith, misguidance, or some vile heretical machination. Thales recommends a dose of prayer, contemplation of evidence, and interrogation, to determine:
a) if Arnum is truly with the purger in this matter
b) if the purged is truly a heretic
c) if the purging was performed properly
d) if the heretic did not have some other property aiding them

[Ross Vernal]

I updated.

[Remuthra]

I've determined this a proper opportunity to begin character development.

[Rolepgeek]

Woooo!

[Ross Vernal]

Oh?

[GrizzlyAdamz]

Are we all healed up?
