You saw the title, you know what this thing is.

Quick little link back to the game thread: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=130374.0

Just looking at the sheet, I get 4 spells right?

Well, opinions, I will take the healing, what others should I get?

[Patrick Hunt]

What kind of mage are you trying to make?

[Aninimouse]

All of the spells listed there are ones you 'know', but you can only cast spells have to be prepared beforehand (In the Prepared Slots). The Lesser Bolt Spells, and a few others have an infinite amount of casts once prepared, so you'll have those for as long as you want them. But others, you need to take a little time to prepare and you get a set amount of casts of that spell.

Like for the Arcane Bolt, if you have 10 minutes to spend on preparing that spell, you can cast it 6 times, and it'll take up Spell Slot #2.
You can prepare a different spell like Shadow Walk to get 6 of that in Spell Slot #3, or you could prepare another set of Arcane Bolts and have 12, but two slots with Arcane Bolt assigned to them.

(And Prepared Spells that aren't cast within a certain amount of time aren't wasted or anything. They'll stick around until you want to use them just like the Infinite Cast spells would.)

[wolfchild]

I was actually asking the team which I should prepare in general (we don't know what we are going to face) situations

[Lillipad]

I'd recommend you prepare the healing spell and the create light spell. You won't need anything but the lesser bolt as an attack for a while.

[Aninimouse]

The actual post is pretty short, but most of what I had to explain was already in the intro, so there wasn't really a point in repeating it all.

And so it begins.

[Aninimouse]

Harvey, eh?..

[Patrick Hunt]

Sorry was doing responses to 2 other games where I used that name.
It got a little muddled.

[Aninimouse]

Create Light has to be cast on an object or creature. Of course, right now nothing's stopping you from casting it on a little chunk of wood or something from the ship and throwing that into the darkness, but I just want to make sure you're aware of that. (That might actually be what you'd meant in the first place.)

Also, I'm guessing you mean to the left side of the map, where the light doesn't reach, right?

[wolfchild]

Yup, and yeah im doing it ala D&D light, f(Find pebble or analogue, Make pebble Lucent, throw pebble) other good option is a shield for a searchlight

[Lillipad]

NRDL, try to avoid moving away from the group like that to explore on your own. It separates the updates, and if you go too far and get in a fight, you'd be pretty screwed.

[Patrick Hunt]

If it's in his characters nature though then he should do it, ignoring what your character would do to make something easier goes against the point of a RP doesn't it?

[Lillipad]

Patrick, I'm not trying to "go against the point of an RP" I'm simply giving some friendly advice as a veteran of Anin's games.
