Good Lord I'm nearly there. 10 seasons left to account for, some of which I will be using to accrue Vis. Suggestions are very welcome on what else I might do.
Some more questions:
I have put that I want to gain a Verditius mystery. Project Redcap tells me what they all are, but gives scant information on mechanics (those being in a published book, so fair enough). I'm leaning toward Enchanted Casting Tools, Items of Quality or Reforging (if the last is a Minor virtue). Suggestions on which might be froodiest (or at least fuller descriptions of what they do)? Alternatively, if the Andorra wiki is to be believed, Valdarian Iberian Runes don't include Imaginem or Mentem, which makes them of less use for me to learn later; so perhaps I should just take Verditius Elder Runes. What do they do, mechanically?
I could spend a season writing up some Lab Texts (although it would waste my time a bit, as I don't have 120 levels to usefully write up, since I've put so much in my Talisman). The RAW are unclear; if I write up a Lab Text for my experimental and flawed Invisibility ring, does the Lab Text include the flaw?
Do you have houses of hermes: mystery cults? Might be useful to get hold of if you are playing a verditius. It is available as a PDF so should be fairly cheap. Quite a lot of info on Verditius besides the rules.
I will let more savy people to answer your actual query, since I have not seen verditius played in my sagas since 4th edition.
This is a ring or something, right? How about you and the things you wear become invisible, but the ring does not. Covering it with a glove does no good, because the invisible glove reveals the ring floating in air still visible.
These are each Minor Virtues. Reforging lets you repair broken items, or smelt vis from items (removing the enchantment). Items of Quality allows you, for a season and a pawn of vis, enhance natural qualities of items to grant them bonuses (guideline of the F&E bonuses, as applied to activities requiring rolls, capped by Philosophiae). Enchanted Casting tools can be created to give you spell mastery abilities and bonuses with a specific spell.
Using the Lab Text with the flaw means that the flaw is duplicated in any items reproduced using that text, unless they also experiment and achieve a different result (reference Inventing Spells y Experimentation).
In a tight race between Enchanted Casting Tools and Reforging, I think Reforging just edges it. And I must remember I have 5xp left due to my Cult score when learning that.
My bad. Thanks for the correction!
Must be the habit of doing raw-like characters (with 30xp/year, period)
Err... Nope. If only because MT is an hermetic ability, whereas wondrous items isn't.
But she can help a verditius as a Forge Companion, and will be prized for this.
Possibilities:
Concentration + item maintains concentration (although it can keep it if you don't wear it)
Diameter + Trigger (worn item) + unlimited uses: When you don't wear it, the magic quickly fails
A non-standard duration. I believe there's a "worn" duration somewhere, you just need to add +1 mag to it.
...and we're done. Well, barring Mustering Out. I may have Antoine buy a book, and I need to define the arts of my Vis. Also, if someone can fill me in on the mechanics of Reforging, that would be top.
Oh, that's no trouble. I've known that for a while . I'll write myself in to the Terror in Transylvania thread.
Presumably, you'll play Isolde. Do you need / want further description than that she is, by now, an 18-year-old Guildmaster's daughter who is, at least to Antoine, very beautiful?
I am also thinking you first meet Vocis in Summer, you learn of Vulcanus and that Vocis desires to recruit specialists to provide service to the covenant. But you don't wind up moving to the Pyrenees until Winter. That will be your "go" point, placing you slightly behind Lucas, which is only fair.
Err....
I didn't have time to write it down fully, but I took some quick notes at Noon.
It's Rego Vim lab total + stress die vs each power in the item, from lowest to highest.
You can repair broken item (paragraph was too long, I don't remember it, save that there was a bit about an InVi roll.
Reforge an item to increase its vis capacity: Roll Rego Vim lab total vs all the powers in the device. If you succeed, you can add as many spaces as your philosophiae at the time of reforging. If doing this with a lesser item, you can invest an enchantment in it if it takes only 1 season. It is harder to reforge again, but I can't remember how. If you do this before instillign any powers, you check against 5 times the numbers of pawns you needed to open the item
Render items for vis: Invi lab total vs sum of the invested levels, then Rego Vim vs the same total. If you succeed, the item loses its powers and you gain back form-speccific vis used to instill them, with a max of MT2 (or MTPhlilo if you have elder runes. I think)
From a purely selfish player standpoint, I would love to see Antoine petition for Andorra proper. It feels a little odd having all of the journeymen seperated from the covenant and having a Pledge in the game will be cool from a roleplaying standpoint.
On a sidenote, I think it would be cool to have one of the Masters move to one of the regios in Sa Dragonera to keep an eye on things. Unfortunately that just really doesn't make sense for Solomon or I would do it.
What do I do now with this complete character? It looks like I re-post to a new "Antoine of Verditius" thread, which I subsequently keep up to date; and copy it to the wiki. Is that right?
