character design and development

Ibis will spend 2 vis and 1 Confidence Point each time it uses this power, for a total of 6 Herbam vis and 3 Confidence Points.

If I interpreted correctly the rules, thanks to its Vis Mastery quality Ibis can consume vis in place of Confidence Points, up to its Confidence Score of 2 for each single use.

The only question being whether vis+confidence is limited to the confidence score or whether they are limited individually. Which is not clear from the text, but as it is a major quality I'm going to allow the double limit, so yes, this works fine.

Thanks!

For 1124:

Gloriana successfully completed her initiation Quest, she has no more adventures, will advance for the year with Rabbit.
Aging roll: _: 1D10 = [10] = 10 +4 age - 2 Magi standards - 2 Healthy Feature - 1 Good food - 1 Good wine - 2 Bronze cord = -4 no apparent aging.

Sybilla has no adventures, will advance.

Sandor has no adventures, Erberto's adventure with Aurthor is very short, so no problems to SQ, now Sandor, who hero worships Erberto the Brawler wants to go on adventure. As long as there's plenty of food and drink! Will advance for the year.

Danaë has no more adventures, will be advanced : Aging roll _: 1D10 = [6] = 6 +4 Age + - 2Magi standards - 2 Healthy feature -1 Good Food - 1 Good wine -1 Magic blood= 3, nothing happens (Unaging)

Andros: Aging roll: _: 1D10 = [10] = 10 + 7 Age - 2 magi Standards- 2 healthy locale - 1 good food -1 good wine-3 familiar bond- 6 LR = - 8 nothing happens

and

Lady A [strike]have pending adventures[/strike]. Aging roll: _: 1D10 = [2] = 2 + 4 Age - 2 Wealthy- 2 healthy locale - 1 good food -1 good wine - 14 LR- 1 Monstrous Blood = -17, no apparent aging
Her husband's aging roll _: 1D10 = [3] = 3 + Age 6 -2 Wealthy - 2 Healthy location - 1 Food - 1 Wine = 3 apparent aging

*edited multiple times, all done!

Anna's summer reading is now pointless due to her twilight experience, so I'm bumping her spring reading down to summer. With that Anna is updated!

Edit: Also Fang is updated too. Question can familiars refine labs for their magi?

Added this to Evandrus's wiki page! Forgot to do that somehow. :blush:

Also Evandrus's experimentation results:
Simple Die(10), not that it really matters since Evandrus blows the required total away.

Extraordinary results dieurl=http://www.coyotecode.net/roll/lookup.php?rollid=182955[/url]-2, (original research lets you do that!) Evandrus gets a perfectly normal version of the spell.

Also catching up on Evandrus's aging. With his 17th mag longevity ritual, and his living conditions of 4+ he only ages on an explosion. So here are seven rolls(No explosions) No apparent aging

Anyway Evandrus is updated!

Aurthor, Ibis, Arduino and Pazzino are updated to 1124.

Creating the following elder magus:

Trianoma ex Verditius
Member of the Arachne's Children Verditius cult of weavers (which was introduced as part of the backstory of Petalichus of Verditius in Magi of Hermes). 67 years post-guantlet. Has come to the covenant from the Theban Tribunal ostensibly because of the Wonderous Weaver, Edith, and relatively abundant vis supplies. Is in fact an ardent Byzantine patriot, here to subvert the Normans' invasion of Byzantine territory in whatever subtle ways she can. She has already had two apprentices, and between these and her many Jerbiton friends from Byzantium she has quite the influential social set. However, she is an illicit and enthusiastic acquirer of the Imperial Purple Dye, which has more than once put her at odds with imperial authorities. Her activities have also made her the object of suspicion of a Quaesitor, who fears she meddles in mundane affairs to such an extent that she is likely to breach the Code - if she has not already done so.

Virtues: Major Magical Focus (The Sun (Planet)), Life Boost, Subtle Magic, Hermetic Magus, Affinity with Ability (Craft (Type)), Great Teacher, Improved Characteristics, Social Contacts
Flaws: Painful Magic, Susceptibility to Infernal Power, Ambitious (Major), Enemies

Will write up full character on the wiki when I get access.

What's the starting "age" for a Faerie character? Should I actually calculate out the average ages of our magi?

It's under character creation rules on the wiki- average magus age is considered to be 120.

also Hroppa- no.
I have stated that new elder characters are only welcome if they represent a house not currently in the covenant. The elder characters are there to get the real characters started, not to be a revolving door of expert magi who for some unknown reason decide to join and drop out of the covenant. If you want to introduce a new older magus then introduce a new house. Otherwise make your apprentice, and make some grogs or a companion to play with until they get apprenticed.

For 1125,

Gloriana/MR have no adventures until Winter, will advance through Fall. Question, silveroak, she has 15 points in Fertility Magic Integration, is this enough for the Fertility Lore skill minor Breakthrough?
In Spring, she will again Spont cast Rituals to raise her physical stats, she will coax Mother Rabbit into converting some of her Confidence into Creo vis, 3 pawns to be exact.
+1 Str level 35 Base, R:Personal, D:Momentary, T:Ind , as her Str is 0. Her minor focus applies (Self-Transformation), so her total is (CrCo 85, +5 Magic Aura, +5 Stamina + 9 AL/Philosophae + 12 similar spell (level 60) + _: 1D10 = [9] = 9 roll)/2 = 62, more than enough for the first roll. This is debilitating, she has to spend 4 vis (Mercurian Magic), she can substitute Co pawns with "Imbued with the Form of Corpus", so she spends: 1 short term Fatigue for Spont 1/2, 1 Long Term Fatigue for the Ritual, 3 Long Term for the vis, +1 Creo pawn from Mother Rabbit, so 5 Fatigue, nearly Unconscious.
She will rest for 5 days and do the Quickness one:
(CrCo 85, +5 Magic Aura, +5 Stamina + 9 AL/Philosophae + 12 similar spell (level 60) + _: 1D10 = [7] = 7 /2 = 61. Successful, another pawn from Mother Rabbit.
She will rest another 5 days, a 10 day span in which she will only come out of her lab when she is well-rested.
In Summer she will do the Dexterity one: (CrCo 85, +5 Magic Aura, +5 Stamina + 9 AL/Philosophae + 12 similar spell (level 60) + _: 1D10 = [1] = 1, _: 1D10 = [2] = 2 = 4)/2 = 60, successful
More improvements as vis is obtained! All done, will advance.
Aging roll: _: 1D10 = [3] = 3 +4 age - 2 Magi standards - 2 Healthy Feature - 1 Good food - 1 Good wine - 2 Bronze cord = -1 no apparent aging.

Andros/SR, same. Adventures done, lasted too long, Parma Magica book not completed, boo, hiss! Will advance.
Aging roll: _: 1D10 = [2] = 2 + 7 Age - 2 magi Standards- 2 healthy locale - 1 good food -1 good wine-3 familiar bond- 6 LR = - 6 nothing happens
Andros did not finish his Parma Magica book, next year!

Lady A has to wait, since Aurthor was crafting in Spring, but is now suddenly going to adventure, every day over 10 lost to the adventure is a -2 to Lab total, and if 20 total days long or more, the Lab season is wasted. She will read Trianoma's Legacy in that case.
Aging roll: _: 1D10 = [6] = 6 + 5 Age - 2 Wealthy- 2 healthy locale - 1 good food -1 good wine - 14 LR- 1 Monstrous Blood = -10, no apparent aging
Her husband has a close call: _: 1D10 = [1] = 1 uh oh! _: 1D10 = [4] = 4 8 + Age 6 -2 Wealthy - 2 Healthy location - 1 Food - 1 Wine = 8 apparent aging

Sandor has an adventure in Fall, he will be advanced through Summer. Done with adventure.
Also, he had scheduled training with Phillippe for Animal Ken, but the huntsman was in adventures for more than a month. So he will mosey on to the library for the first time and check out the newly acquired Animal Ken tome.

Sybilla, done, will advance.

Danaë might have an adventure in Summer, will advance through Spring. Done! Advanced,
Aging roll _: 1D10 = [9] = 9 +4 Age + - 2Magi standards - 2 Healthy feature -1 Good Food - 1 Good wine -1 Magic blood= 6, nothing happens

Evandrus invents yet another copy of restore fertility!
Simple Die(5) Huzzah.
Extraordinary results die(1), Its an explosion! Explosion(5) Add two of it for Roll Twice More on this chart!
Extraordinary Results Stress(4)+2=6, That's a side effectSide Effect(10) That's a FATAL FLAW
Extraordinary Results Stress Strees(4)+2=6 Side Effect. The Side Effect is: url=http://www.coyotecode.net/roll/lookup.php?rollid=184121[/url] Minor Side Efffect

So silveroak this spell

Restore Fertility (F) II [CrCo 40, ritual, +95]
R: Touch, D: Sun, T: Group
This restores fertility to barren women, assuming the cause was some sort of injury, disease, poison or other trauma. Up to 100 women may be effected at once.

(20+1 touch +3 Group)
Sigil: ?

Has a Fatal Flaw, and a Minor side effect.

The spell works, but any children will have strong faerie blood and plagued by faeries, and are over 90% likely to be abducted by faeries before the age of 5.

I don't know if you have been checking who is taking classes at the same time, but Noll and Hambal have been taking every class they could with Sandor (their parents are pushing them to become friends with an heir!).

No, I haven't, just checked to see if there were 1, 2, or more people taking the same classes alongside for xp purposes. I'll go look these fellows up! Sandor is about ready to stop being a Bully and become Proud, but those childhood wounds sure are not easy to forget. Better to have some minions to watch his back.!

also yes, 15 points will allow you to get fertility lore, and converts to 15 points in the ability.

Thanks, will do that, Gloriana will salvage what she can from the lost race with her parens!

Hi Ignes.Festivus

Aurthor returns after 12 days deep in apologies with Lady A, together however they still can enchant the amulet without difficulty:

LT: Int 3 + MT 6 + Aura 5 + Re 19 + Te 6 + Lab 4 + Similar spell 3 + Lady A 16 - Distraction 4 = 58 vs MAJOR AMULET OF PROTECTION level 26x2 = 52

Lady A says she never doubted Aurthor's commitment for a moment! :slight_smile: (Guile roll + kindly face + Aurthor's Lecherousness) . "This beastly impersonator has vexed you for so long, what does he hope to gain?"
