Frostgrave - Rules

[Rixus Mar]

So you can infinitely enchant, embed, sell, enchant, embed, sell during/after every game?

[Darkson71]

Looks like it, though as weapons enchanted by the wizard aren't technically the same as the Magic Weapons listed that you can buy, it's a house rule that you can sell them (and for how much).

Rixus - actually, I don't think anyone has specifically asked this question before. As the rules are written, if you take a soldier's weapon, it is not replaced, nor is there any provision for buying one. Essentially, you would either have to play with an unarmed soldier or buy a replacement.

Col. Sameth - Scrolls for spells that can be used Out of Game can be used Out of Game.  You cannot empower spells out of game.

Actually Joe, you said about replacement weapons when I asked about enchanted weapons earlier in this thread, which is what I was basing my answer off. I'll try and find it.

Or maybe not - I think I'm going senile in my old age...

[Darkson71]

Or maybe not...? It was on Decayed weapons, not Enchanted ones.

On Decayed weapons:
2. Decay says the weapon is useless "for the rest of the game" - does that mean the model gets the weapon back once the game is finished?
Your answer:
2. I answered this wrong earlier in this thread - so I will go back and correct it. It's lost for the rest of the game, but after the game, it is assumed that the soldier grabs another similar weapon off the armour rack back home.


Seems a bit strange that thug A that lost his weapon due to Decay will just pick up another one, but thug B that had his sold wouldn't.

Thank you  Darkson! That is the very comment i was looking for! Must've got muddled in my head what the actual question was, but i remember something about being assumed the soldier could  pick another from the rack back at the base.

[joe5mc]

Basically guys, I'm trying to give 'rules as written answers'. 

Decay says the soldier get's his weapon back (it can be justified in any number of ways). If the player chooses to take a weapon away from a soldier then the soldier is unarmed, and there is no provision for buying new mundane weapons for soldiers. Thus if you do not want him to be unarmed you have to buy a new soldier.

I agree this might not be the most satisfactory answer, and you are free to house rule it any way you wish. However, I do not believe it is in the best interest of the game at this point to create a completely new rule, whose only use is to facilitate a very particular way for a wizard to make money. Especially since that method is still viable, if not quite as good, as it would be under a new rule.

So if a wizard enchants and embeds a sword and then enchants and embeds the armour what happens.
He can't keep both as he is only allowed 1 enchanted item.
He can't buy a new unenchanted item as they aren't for sale.

With regards to area spells, such as fog or mud, is there a limit to how many you can have in effect at one time?  Could my witch theoretically turn much of the table into a boggy mire?

[joe5mc]

Yup, your Witch can make a mess of the table if he so chooses.

Tys123 - you can't embed an enchantment on a piece of equipment carried by a soldier if doing so would take him over his maximum allowed items.

[Darkson71]

"Hello George, what are you doing?"
"Hello Arthur.  Got me sword decayed again - 3rd one this week, so just getting another from the weapons rack."
"Hmpphh. Lucky you, mine got enchanted and sold, so I just have to punch people now."
"Oh, I've got some spare swords in here, do you want to borrow one?"
"No, I can't do that."

 

[Timbor]

Yup, your Witch can make a mess of the table if he so chooses.

Cool!  Also, the Summoner spell, Plague of Insects, does that affect Constructs and Undead as well?  We played a game last night and decided it likely would not affect a construct.

[Nooblord]

Hi,

Just a couple of quick clarifications on spells.

1. The Mind Control spell allows the control of Undead, Demons and Constructs by the rules as written, correct?

2. Is a Will roll required if casting an 'attacking' spell at an affected tartget?
    What about another spell like a curse or de-buff?

TIA

[Coenus Scaldingus]

The 'Beauty' spell states that it affects all humans, clarified as anything not being in the Bestiary. Is the spell thus still supposed to affect War Hounds, obviously not human, but also not found in the Bestiary?
