(What would Raphael think _today_...) ) Today, Raphael would be opposed not by Oblivion, but by the Demon of Information. Information overload is a much more insideous and difficult to fight opponent to knowledge.... - -- Eric Alfred Burns | | now with web site content! ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 23 Jun 1999 08:40:11 -0400 From: Jason Terlecki Subject: IN> Artifacts In the resources section of IN, There is a series of artifact limitations with point modifiers.

Unless my brain is completely gone, the modifier is added after the cost. The Liber Reliquarum has more examples... (So it would be 12 points. Or, if it had a negative Feature (what Limitations are going to be called from now on) worth -2 points, the total cost would be 7.) - --emccoy@nh.ultranet.com // arcangel@io.com In Nomine Line Editor GURPS, Roleplayers, In Nomine stuff; Art: http://www.io.com/~arcangel/ ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 23 Jun 1999 12:56:00 -0400 From: EDG Subject: Re: IN> Artifacts Elizabeth McCoy wrote: > Unless my brain is completely gone, the modifier is added after the cost. > The Liber Reliquarum has more examples... It's not gone; the modifier is added after the level cost is computed. (This is not, by the by, a rule with which I agree.) > (So it would be 12 points.

Clarification: If it had a negative Feature worth -2 points _instead of_ the "usable only by servitors of Fire" Feature, it would cost 7 points. 12 - 2 != 7, but 9 - 2 does. :) - -EDG ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 23 Jun 1999 12:29:32 -0500 From: "Acosta, Ben" Subject: IN> Do relievers have to fledge? Do relievers who grow their way up to nine forces have to fledge? Could a reliever who was pretty much undecided stay a reliever at nine forces? If not, what happens? Does it just fledge into a random choir? Or does the force just not manifest until the choice is made? Are there guidance counselors in Heaven? Just what do indecisive relievers do when they hit the big Nine? (I guess the same could be said for imps and gremlins but societal pressure is such that one probably wouldn't have any that would want to stay back. They would want to fledge into a Band in order to be somebody.)
