I’ve made a couple references to this story on this blog and gotten questions asking for an explanation, so here we go. A full recounting of what my group started calling the Titanium Ear incident. Buckle up, boys and girls, Uncle Fork has a story to tell.

The Elemental Aura perk for the Blade Flower playbook may only be triggered once per turn. While summoning a blade and dismissing a blade are free actions, you cannot summon and dismiss a blade over and over again to re-trigger Elemental Aura to deal infinite Panic to a target.

The They're Already Dead perk for the Blade Flower playbook may only be triggered once per turn. While summoning a blade and dismissing a blade are free actions, you cannot summon and dismiss a blade over and over again to re-trigger They're Already Dead on a different opponent in the battle.

The Scimitar Dance perk for the Blade Flower playbook may only be triggered once per turn. While summoning a blade and dismissing a blade are free actions, you cannot summon and dismiss blades in both hands over and over again to stack infinite dance bonuses.

The Healing Embrace perk for the Shield Flower playbook may only be triggered once per turn. While summoning a shield and dismissing a shield are free actions, you cannot summon and dismiss a shield to re-trigger Healing Embrace to remove infinite Panic from a target.

The Fist Flower playbook can no longer take both the Stand In The Air and the Double Jump perks. You must choose one or the other.

The bonus action gained from Staff Flower playbook perk Hit Them Again cannot be used to trigger another Hit Them Again bonus action and deal infinite Panic to a target.

The Max Panic table on page 87 includes disarming in several entries. Disarming is now defined as being forced to dismiss your Flow weapon and not being able to summon it or any other Flow weapon or using any other Flow weapon, and shields count as weapons, until your character loses Panic.

Wormbutt [MOD]: Please check the pinned post

Enzzyme: another one?

GarbletheDarble: I checked the post, and it does not explain the altered order in which to make my trigram rolls.

Enzzyme: oh yeah lol

Enzzyme: a column of the 8tf table was just missing from the og rulebook

Wormbutt [MOD]: As stated in the pinned post, we recommend not using the class. It’s underdeveloped and was likely a late addition.

GarbletheDarble: how did this even ship

Enzzyme: i think lizzie has a working replacement

Enzzyme: @ GREATANDTERRIBLELIZARD give us your furnace table

Enzzyme: yeah but I can’t answer follow up questions

GREATANDTERRIBLELIZARD: EightTrigramFurnaceTable_fixed_final(2).pdf

GREATANDTERRIBLELIZARD: and there won’t be follow-up questions. it’s entirely self-explanatory

Wormbutt [MOD]: It’s really not.

GREATANDTERRIBLELIZARD: literally what’s unclear about it

Wormbutt: the “applicable modifier”

Enzzyme: which modifier to use

Enzzyme: lol

GREATANDTERRIBLELIZARD: it’s your exegesis bonus, and if you don’t have one just use your secondary class attunement

GarbletheDarble: what if I have neither of those

GREATANDTERRIBLELIZARD: then your build is so awful you’ll die before it matters anyway

kingbardo33 [10:33, yesterday]

My group was recommended this system instead of D&D for the Feywild campaign we were planning, but I can't figure out how to make my character premise! I want to run a bard like Melchior from Caer Ywnn, but it seems like it's impossible to meet most skill thresholds (at least in the sample scenario) without having a skill of at least 3, and we're starting off at Majesty 4, so even if I spent my whole Legend on it, I could only get three skills to level 3! Is there some rule or supplement I'm missing that would let me make this?

Corebook page 52, "Party Composition":

Crown, Rose, and Blood is intended to be played with parties exclusively composed of fairies. Mortal characters are playable, but outside of using the optional rebalancing in Appendix 1, they will not be competitive unless the Majesty score of party members is very low. Player characters should be very distinct from one another; fairies shouldn't share Epithets, skills, or Tales in their Legend unless a special case is in play such as the Twin or Shadow Self Epithet.

I'm not sure what exactly you mean by a "jack-of-all-trades". "The Boar King's Tournament" (which I'm assuming you're referencing since it's the prebuilt for Majesty 4) has seven check types, so I'm going to assume you're trying to build a character to hit all of those checks at level 3. If you're using the standard character creation rules, the only way I can see for you to get that is taking 7/8 of your starting Tales as Minor Contract Tales, all of which are perpetual Contracts with Endowment clauses that give the skill in question. An Endowment for a level 3 skill is Major, so the only way you can squeak that by Tale RAW is if it's counterbalanced against three Minor Obligations, and that's only because the wording technically reads that every clause has to be Major for it to count as a Major Contract Tale. I personally think it's against the spirit and don't allow it in my games.

I don't recommend doing this, for the record. If you do this, you'll be forced to spend your last Tale as an Epithet Tale, and you'll also be juggling twenty-one Minor Obligations to keep all of your skills, with virtually no stats outside of what you're getting from your preexisting Contracts.

Does the bonus for 3rd degree sword forms stack with svartelf off-hand technique or not?

The core rulebook says it does, explicitly, on page 138: "Bonuses from legacy-specific techniques do stack with advanced sword form bonuses."

...and sample characters in, for instance, the Duels by Moonlight supplement are built to show this.

But I was looking at the latest Eastern Front module, and on page 34 there's a footnote that says: "Remember, sword form bonuses never stack with any other bonus."

So which is it?

Josh_Shrubbery: Check the forum rules, dipshit. You need to post the section you're talking about so we actually know what ruleset and expansions you're going by. This is just clogging the category.

W0r1dB4N3: Kinda rude but we do need the specific quote, those rules get changed up a lot. Terts have been a balance nightmare in every edition.

Boneseller38: Sorry, I'm back, dealing with life shit. We're running 4th Edition with the Still Water, Soft Rains expansion but none of the later ones since they'd break the module. Here are the two parts that confused me.

"Unlike their natural and wielded weapons, the tertiary weapons of a Stranger represent the culmination of their mastery, drawing directly on their lifeforce and knowledge to force patterns onto the world around them. They follow the same rules as Riddle Engines, as they operate under the same principles, but are not consumed when used, instead leaving the user drained both physically and psychologically. "

"During a Stranger's second combat phase, they can make attacks with wielded or tertiary weapons equal to their Attacks stat, or use a consumable with the Thrown, Ranged, or Riddle Engine keyword."

First quote makes it seem like they're supposed to be a rare special move but there's no mention of any kind of actual limitations. Yeah there's a bit of self-damage and usually a status effect on the weapon statblocks, but I picked Tidebreaker Caste and Secret of Rime at level 1 so they literally just don't affect me. Is there something I'm not getting? Why wouldn't I just spam it every turn?

Josh_Shrubbery: You can't just run a cheese build and then act confused when it's a cheese build.

Boneseller38: It's literally one of the example characters.

W0r1dB4N3: Running 9 Gates? Nice. Yeah, 4thE was kinda weird about that. A lot of people got really mad about how tight the limits were in 3rd, especially since the short stories have Strangers using what would be terts IG multiple times in a row (at great cost, of course), so they tried to do something like that but balance it around the "average" caste. I don't think they actually expected anyone to spec survivability just to spam them. SWSR made it way worse with Tidebreaker. I think they erratad some of the self-damage numbers higher but you can still totally do it with 1-2 extra defensive secrets, tertspam is THE classic 4thE meme build.

Just like the title says.

The rules text for Fine Materials from Principia says

Fine materials […] when used for an enchantment project, allow you to create things beyond your normal limits, including beyond the normal level cap of 30. […] wondrous materials allow an increase of three levels.

It’s obvious they meant this to go past 30, since they say it, but notably, they also extend the enchantment time/cost/difficulty table to level 33, and add 31 to the prime table, so they clearly have support for it.

The problem is that Toil and Trouble adds tandem enchantment, and I don’t know what to make of its rules!

The text reads:

While enchanters normally guard their secrets jealously, working alone, they can perform remarkable feats together. […] if allowing total cooperation, where no secrets are kept from each other, the boost increases to 5.

Which, unlike Principia, doesn’t stipulate it can go past level 30, but also doesn’t specify otherwise.

Muddying the waters, Toil and Trouble doesn’t extend the time/cost/difficulty table, but does give the appropriate formula for how to calculate those values at each level past 25 (which do line up with Principia).

Perhaps most importantly, if these modifiers did stack, we would have access to the prime 37 enchantments, which are not described anywhere in the book to my knowledge.

My instinct is that tandem enchantment caps at 30, or else does not stack with wondrous materials.

ACCEPTED ANSWER by [goodgriefer] (+12)

P.125:Principia states the following on the topic of stacking buffs.

When multiple effects modify some element of the creation process, they apply only to what portion of the process makes logical sense. A 10% reduction to the cost of reagents will not reduce the cost of shipping the final product. When two effects modify overlapping sections of the creation process, additive/subtractive effects are applied simultaneously, then multiplicative effects are applied simultaneously.

Then on P.169:Principia, we see

Drunkenness – A state of intoxication, whether by alcohol or other, more exotic substances, caps an enchanter’s effective level at 2 levels below their actual level, regardless of any other buffs

From this we can gather that multiple ‘effective level’ effects should be able to stack (there just wasn’t another such effect that increased levels, as of Principia), and that if they intend something to set a cap, they probably will.

That implies that, yes, you can technically create a level 38 enchantment (or 37).

As for what the theoretical prime 37 enchantments would be, I would point to P.56:Principia on the existing prime enchantments, which says:

Often, a player may wish to create an enchantment that is outside the scope of the primes, especially as it is recommended for a character to have an eventual capstone goal for their enchanting career. In such cases, it is worth remembering that the only enchantment known categorically to be impossible is one that confers true immortality. It may be possible to approximate using a combination of primes, or else by adding the functionality to an existing prime. Page 287 lists commonly used prime combinations.

Which is to say: A prime can have whatever functionality it needs to for a game to make sense. Considering 37 is so far beyond normal enchanting as to be unthinkable to the average enchanter, it makes a logical place to put whatever macguffin result overarches the whole game.

And to be clear, when I say ‘unthinkable’ I mean unthinkable; taking a look at the formula in T&T more closely, as well as taking into account the cost of using Wondrous Materials (or even Marvellous Materials, if you just want a new prime)

First, a theoretical level 38 enchanted item would take over 40 years for an enchanter to create (and no, you don’t get the assistant improvement to creation time from tandem enchantment, you’re doing it purely for the level boost).

Second, the cost, (including the increase from wondrous materials), would be on the order of 12 million gold.

Even if you had the time and the money, you’d still be stuck, because setbacks are rolled for on a monthly basis, and lose a percentage of progress. Without mitigation, you’re looking at losing 4 to 20 years of progress, about every two years. Mathematically, your odds of completing this project, are basically zero, especially if you’re mortal.

The only way to have a reasonable chance of creating an item with level 37/38 enchantments is to have two lead enchanters of level 29/30, with functionally limitless funding, and then also, to have some significant number of assistants, who, I will note, will have to be of at least level 27 to 28, due to the 10 level gap limit for assistants. Doing the math, a quick and dirty estimate suggests you’ll need at least 5 such assistants to maybe break even, and realistically, you’ll the maximum 18-19 of them to actually get the project done in a reasonable timeframe, which, may I note, is still ten years, which is probably more like twenty years, due to the probability of setbacks.

That is to say, to create a prime 37 enchantment, you need a team of about 20 world class enchanters to spend 10-20 years of their lives, with limitless funding (likely in the realm of 50 million gold, after accounting for who you have to pay, and the increased material cost from setbacks), to put their lives entirely on hold, and pool the entirety of their knowledge without reservation.

That is not a two person project. That is the manhattan project. That is the project that your players will, in the endgame, either get pulled into, or have to resist getting pulled into. That is an overarching plot thread that is running from the very beginning of the game.

This forum does not allow for specifically 18+ groups or nsfw topics, go to the sister site for that

Make sure to include which editions you are running A. yes, this includes specifying if you have v.1 from the initial public print or are using the version given to kickstarter backers. B. if running mixed versions, clearly mark what you're mixing (for example mostly v3, but v2 augury rules & v1 orithomancy tables)

if including any Wilderness rules, make location clear. You do not need to dox yourself, but saying you have players that are mostly in the pacific north-west will make all Wilderness choices run smoother

You cannot only be recruiting for Lake or Desert fortune tellers.

City Wizards are not official errata & means nothing. Do not include it in your application.

Be clear about what the timeline for the game is. Signs of Fate plays very differently in the Summer and Winter.

I'm looking to start a new Prism: Agency game, but my last group fell apart (don't ask). I'd be down to start off playing the Prism, but we definitely need to go on a scheduled rotation and not per locale.

A few house rules, if these aren't to your liking than this game is NOT for you. I play Prism HARD and CHALLENGING. Storytelling comes from the struggle.

- All characters start with one pursuing Inhabitant. If you're playing the Found or the Scarred, you start with two.

- I decide what your documentancy downtime practice is - you'll have to submit samples of your writing, drawing, voice, and some other stuff.

- Geegaws and trinkets are always painful if you don't roll a 6 to retrieve them. Their rules also don't supercede Locale rules (let's be real, they never should have).

- If you fall off your progression path, you take the full penalty AND you start your next one on the Underside. No picking and choosing.

- If an Inhabitant is using one of the three core skills, you CANNOT use another one against it. Not even temporarily. An exception can be made for the Newcomer's move "Untraditional Straightforwardness".

- Instead of starting with a home base Locale, you earn one during downtime. It'll start full of Inhabitants though, and no, you don't get to handwave it because of the starting guidelines, real life doesn't just give you free stuff.

Now that those main ones are out of the way, a little about the setting we'll be playing in:

It's the changing of the seasons, set just before Agency swapped to Grasslands. Prism is cracking, it's coming apart, and there's no hope for survival (we're ignoring the supplemental stuff that came later). You're all the last members of the Agency, you've all being chased and hunted down (reminds me of another one of the house rules actually - downtime always leaves you both Hopeless and Tormented, and if you don't roll well it can still have the regular consequences too, even on Earth). No hope remains - except the hope of a painless oblivion. The Final Day Locale, the manifestation of the end of your lives, awaits you somewhere in the darkest depths of the Hunting Woods... Will you find it? What will you lose on the way?
