Reduce GWG's health by 3 2, but gave him even more inventory space.

I have reservations about my character, but I'll shelve them for now. Mostly just questions on mechanics I need clarified.

My skills are a bit odd. What are the limits on my acrobatic dodging? Looks like I could make myself invulnerable...

And Good Sense? I'd imagine that I would have to expend a turn giving people orders, right? Otherwise it might as well be a constant boon.

You'd be invulnerable, sure, but you don't do any damage. The monsters in this game will have much higher health than the players, so its very important that everyone attacks as much as they can. If you sense you're going to be struck by a bad flurry, or if you're under fire and need a turn to wait for backup, then you can use acrobatics to keep yourself alive for a bit. But since you brought that up, and I believe you're right, you can now only use it once per combat.

It only works if they actually listen to you. Besides, you're the buffing leader character. This is your job. But once again, I'm limiting the uses now, but they don't need to listen to specific commands. Now it will just boost the entire party's hit for one turn.

What sort of reservations? This is the best time to bring them up, while I'm writing the first turn.

So what kind of a range have I got on my wind control?

Oh look, I have a steam account.
Might as well chalk it up to Pathos.
As this point we might as well invoke interpretive dance and call it a day.

You can hit anything you can see. The reason your speed becomes 0 when you're using it is because the magic requires so much concentration. The paladin should be able to remedy this weakness however if you ever come under attack. Usually the enemy won't target you unless they recognise that you're using magic, because other than you looking like you're out of it, its not very obvious that you're doing anything. Any human could probably figure it out pretty quick though.

Book Smart - You can read.
Most people can't?
Also, how much do we know about the setting?
How easily replaceable are the consumeables?
How does "steadily" replenishing something work?
Does dabbat tea work like HP gosa tea?
Is it common to find abandoned chests full of stuff?

Reduce GWG's health by 3 2, but gave him even more inventory space.
Why do I think the mage is going to become the pack mule?

Gave Dansmithers a health boost, and an MP reduction.

Well, let's say you're going away from Earth on huge spaceship and suddenly shit goes wrong and you have Super Mutants. Social Experiments prepared them for this.

It's mostly a 'what can I really do' thing. But I figure thats what character growth is for.

Why do I think the mage !!PROALCHEMIST!! is going to become the pack mule?
You're kids, so yup. This will become more prominent after Chapter 0, if it wasn't obvious. You'll know multiple languages, learn faster, etc.
How do you mean? You know as much as I've already told you.
Pretty easy. As the alchemist you can usually pick some up just walking around.
You regain the stat gradually over several turns, as opposed to instantly. Did I really need to explain that one? :L
Yes, all teas work instantly.
Yes, chests of drawers generally contain clothes. You found them while exploring the Oldway, an abandoned district in the city, so naturally people left things behind.

I was hoping I wouldn't need to spell this out for you guys, being so experienced and such, but you're only spending the Prologue as children. You're going to have a lot more stuff later on, so don't worry.

Referring to the "Restores Gradually," I was more wondering if it restored more HP/MP.
I'm guessing not, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

...Also, where am I keeping the tea?

You have gourds along with all your pouches, which I mentioned in your robe description.

Did I not mention which stat the leaves restore? :O *panics* *goes back to check*

Yeah, Gosa restores MP, and Dabbat are for HP. Thanks for reminding me. :)
