Sounds fun though with the problem with wrong material getting printed in A&E I'm a bit gun shy about products that don't seem to be up to date with the current rules.

So is Necromancy a new magic system or simply new applications for the current three types of magic? Is anything in this book PC usable? Is the book any good?

Looking at the number of things that have been identified as holdovers from a previous edition, is it possible that the wrong file got sent to the printers?

Seems a good spell to produce ice for storing food tbh.

TBH I can probably work out an eyeball size for any monster I want to convert from that chart.

It was somewhat unclear whether the effect was a glue with a duration or a permanent merging (similar to how form flesh is permanent after its duration expires). Seems like the answer is glue not merge then.

Sigh, yep you're right. Which still leaves me very confused about the duration of holdfast. I see why smother is in there, a combat damage spell that does not require concentration, but wow that spell uses every obscure subsystem in the game.

I hate to nitpick but but The sorcery rules don't provide any mechanism for canceling an autonomous effect short of a neutralize magic. Smother isn't exactly high on my list of non lethal options for this reason (as a concentrate spell even Wrack is less likely to produce fatalities than...

Well that spell is going to last POW minutes, so I don't really expect that their will be any survivors. Since the sorcerer only cast the spell at magnitude the targets best bet is probably to cast Dismiss Magic or Countermagic on the income spell (dismiss magic talks about targeting a single...

Seems like Barnes & Nobles is also having problems with stocking new Mongoose releases. Books a million is listing MC for preorder but not signs of Arms & Equipment. Might want to look into this.

That is quite strange. I just got an email from Amazon telling me that Arms & Equipment (which I purchased from a Dallas retailer and though I had canceled on Amazon) won't be available until sometime in July.

Well you certainly can do anything you want in your own game. I think the point here is that when discussing rules and how they balance on an internet forum we need to use something close to the rules as written to have a useful discussion. I could convert the magic system from Ars Magica on...

I don't know, seems like making casting time base 1 action + manipulations might result in a better balance. That and not using the 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 4/4 progression of other casting types seems like the developers instituting a grind. Grind based game play does not seem to be selling well in a...

Well the head of an average person will have 5 HPs. The helmet rules in this game are pretty strange but I just figure that most armor type refer to a different type of cheaply made metal helmet. That said seeing somebody who is expecting combat sporting a 4 AP scale helm (250sp) shouldn't be...
