    Magic Spear

    For my part, I like the way Project Aon handled the situation. If you do have the Spear, or you choose to give it take Rhyger, take the path that requires Animal Kinship to survive. If you keep the Spear, take the path that leads to a Helghast (which you will then defeat because you have the...

    Will Mongoose be fixing Book 17 ?

    Lone Wolf is at least partly psychic. Call it good intuition. Also call it necessary to survival. Including Grand Weaponmastery and every allowable Special Item, your total maximum CS in Book 17 is 48. Ixiataaga has a 60. Granted that Kai-surge will boost your CS to 56 (at a cost of 1 EP a...

    Will Mongoose be fixing Book 17 ?

    Not if you put it in Safekeeping until Book 17. Which is what I do. And the Alether/Agdana splits this way: First dose of Alether for the first fight with Tagazin. Second dose of Alether for the fight with Tagazin once he gets his helmet. Dose of Agdana for the final battle with the...

    Shamath's riddle -- An entirely Different Approach

    Or, and this is what I've finally decided to do, you can change the text of the first line riddle from this: To this: 'In addition to the initial ten loyal servants, there are two Dwellers of the Abyss.'

    Will Mongoose be fixing Book 17 ?

    I used the Sommerswerd against the cave-monster, but aside from that, I didn't use it at any point where the book asks if I want to use it from that point forward in the book. I'm usually able to complete the book, but it requires Max stats and very careful husbanding of resources. For...

    Shamath's riddle -- An entirely Different Approach

    For fairness' sake, I've made it a Random Roll. If I get a 1 - 9, I have to fight. If I roll a 0, I solve the riddle and turn to page 10. I've done that exactly once.

    New Class: Ogron Mercenary

    Just use this template and have them act in an evil manner.

    Query: Weapons!

    If you want to incorporate things from the book series, the Broadsword, Quarterstaff and Spear are two-handed weapons, which means that you can't use a Shield with them. Otherwise, a Dagger is assumed to do the amount of damage as a Broadsword. It's a bit absurd, but there you go. The only...

    Shamath's riddle -- An entirely Different Approach

    I thought it was ten because I went page by page through the book until I came to section 10 and found that was the answer to the riddle. It's broken. There is no reasonable logic that leads to the correct (or any other) answer. The riddle is a cheat. So, you can either fight Shamath or...

    Sommerswerd in New edition

    The last time through, I deliberately filled my backpack with everything I could find so I could justify emptying by Belt Pouch and storing the Super-Laumspur in there. It didn't work, though, because I took the wrong path and emptied my Backpack by swimming.

    Sommerswerd in New edition

    Consider the math again. The Sommerswerd adds +8 CS Having it means the Helghast is +10 CS as well. So, not having only only increases your CS against the Helghast by +2 CS. Which would you rather have, an extra +2 CS or double damage against the Helghast. For my part, I'd much rather have...

    Second Multiplayer Adventure?

    I recently got the LWMRPG and did a test play of "The Merchant's Task." I then downloaded the latest "Signs and Portents" to get the LW adventure, "Enemy Mine." "Enemy Mine" indicates that there is apparently another adventure aside from "The Merchant's Task" which precedes it. Where can I...

    Shamath's riddle -- An entirely Different Approach

    What are you talking about? There's no Dever worship on this question. We all of us admit, at least to ourselves, that it's a broken puzzle. So, in that spirit, we are submitting "broken answers." Do I really believe that 10 can be derived from assuming the variable is "X" which is also the...

    Sommerswerd in New edition

    Regarding the Sommerswerd, I keep it with me through the Kai series (2 - 5) as well as through books 6 - 8 in the Magnakai series. However, in Book 6 I only use it when I'm not in public. The S-swerd is helpful in Castle Death and pretty much critical at the end of Book 8. In Book 9, with the...

    Suggestions for house rules?

    Now, I will say that Magical Armors (like the Kagonite Chainmail and Silver Bracers) might have damage reduction, but it should be very small, like 1 EP per piece. Also, such armor should be very, very rare (as in, if you want the above two armors, you need to mug Kai Supreme Master Lone Wolf...
