Okay, thanks for the ideas.
My plot will probably end up being a bitch for spell casters and glass canons.

AKA Everyone Which is to say... a surprisingly small portion of the group. People don't really seem to be using magic to fight too much, actually.

Yeah, if it suddenly looks to easy expect enemies adapting.

I have ideas for how anti-magic fields work. Instead of completely plot-nullifying magic, they instead make it harder to use.

Anti-magic can increase the TN for casting spells, drain mana, reduce magic damage & effects, and or make spells cost more mana. The stronger the anti-magic, the stronger the effects.

yeah yeah, we get it, all your stuff is out of proportion statted, but I remain, any kind of enemy that is mass-produced is measly, and should be treated accordingly


different question, why can characters joining the battle just spawn anywhere where any other character can see them? I mean, apart from teleporters. This kinda makes the movement rules pointless.

I never do proportion statting.

Because I forget how many people are actually in the battle at the start. I might change it.

on the top of my head, the following chars have made any sort of movement closer towards the fight: Stella, Alice, Walpurga, Kyle (including castle), Garrett

Chicken salad.

leftover stuff from breakfast shift in the hotel. So many cool things that would otherwise go to waste. It's risky to work the breakfast shift without eating beforehand, but today I was on the egg post, so I had little running around or heavy lifting to do at all.
after that, 4 hours of opening oysters. Chainmailglove and dagger included. I have no idea why everyone hates this job, opening oysters, while tricky and exhausting, is oddly satisfying.


on thread topic, since it seems a popular option for GMs to outfit bosses with more than one action to increase their threat potential, maybe this could be the kinda buff that non-magical combat needs? Any kind of skill (not speed, speed would be a) too powerful and b) not even all that logical compared to skill) treshold that would allow for a character to attack twice in a round. Any suggestions?

Every 15 SKILL gives an extra attack?
