Well then. Just need to track down a copy and buy/steal it. No need for UMD?

if the particular item you are crafting requires a spell you don't have then, yes Use Magic Device checks will be required. This is a general crafting benefit, and so the specific crafting requirements   still apply for certain items as they come into play.

If for instance, you simply wanted to craft leather armor, or a mastercrafted battle axe, then no UMD checks would be required.

Nope. Just Mastercrafting some Special Materials. The ritual allows me to do it in a week rather than several months.

In reply to Mako (msg # 597):



Then no, no UMD checks required. Carry on.

One thing you two are missing is in the rules on these spellbooks it's called a preparation ritual. I will reread but if I recall correctly, it says you have to use three spells from the book with the spell book knowledge (what you call a ritual) and you must prepare three spells on the same host books list.

You don't need to use the same book, you don't need all the same spells, in fact it says you can even mix and match the books as you want (even saying you can put one books preparation ritual with another books spells).

However, the preparation is the key part. You prepare it along with preparing spells.

Guthbrand, yes but no. You are earning gold... Even a few gold coins is a lot. No, your earnings do not need to be representative of actual gold coins (it could be 4 gold worth of copper coins, or 400 copper).

Also, in the olden days entertainers went from city to city, perhaps performing for a few days before moving to the next... Much like modern theater. You are right though about much the rest, save that the spread of information is aided quite well by magic in Pathfinder... And there are modern tech and magitech civilizations in the year we play in (though, unfortunately, most tech and magitech rules are starfinder... !Yay lore without mechanics support!)

Anyways, there is a trade off... A balancing pros and cons, to these two eras in a rather interesting sliding yin and yang.
There is also that perform isn't really meant to be used frequently let alone impromptu. Most forums are of the consensus that it's meant to be like a concert or similar such performances.
The rules don't explicitly say this though and so I'm absolutely not going to force that. However, it, without a doubt, completely eclipses the profession rules.

And, by the way, the current 50 percent penalty is from a downtime event you rolled (and you have 3 more events I plan to roll out today). I didn't do the 50 percent because 'bUrN ThE Op tHiNg wItH FiRe!!!' like some ass hat GM's do. However, I feel that it is probably causing you to feel pressured and inspiring you to be resistant to more penalties... Please confirm if this is accurate.

If you handle that first event, the 50 percent penalty will go away.

Note, this is not an argument... I can't actually find anything on that,  but it makes sense, since you can purchase these spellbooks, and in previous editions these spellbooks were supposed to be treasure.

I'm sorry if it sounded like I took you for arguing, I did not.

Just was clarifying with my understanding of the rules. And now that I'm home, I'll also post a link for those rules.

In reply to The Meta (msg # 601):



No no no
I was speaking for me.
You are fine. I just wanted you to understand, with my statement that I could find nothing on it, wasn't meant as a challenge.

I have to ask...we have a tavern thread??   *confused*

Possibly, but usually when a female gunslinger enters a tavern, someone usually ends up kicking the bucket.

If they are smart they won't let you in

:D

In reply to Aithne (msg # 603):

I'll be offering a "magic shop" thread soon, that allows ya'll to communicate via notes with each other through my character. I'll help everyone set up adventuring parties, I'll communicate and link up people that could use each other's skills, etc.

Lol, I dunno. Aithne has been going there for a few weeks now and it's been alright so far. They had a party too... though, they almost ran out of food at one point.

Aithne, not quite titled tavern but... ya.

it's everything about the pre made spell books, including spell books that come with preparation rituals.

Hey Boss.

Can rituals be enacted by non-spellcasters?

Can Spellcasting services paid for enact a ritual on behalf of another?

In reply to Mako (msg # 610):




Mako, if you don't have access to spells via your class, and I have no idea what that is, then you'll need to either establish a team with a spell caster in it, via the down time system, or hire someone specificly for that service, which you could pay with the spell knowledge in said book.

Enoch is an alchemist, so while he couldn't benefit from the book you are referring to, he could gain the services of someone that could do it for him. There is another book that is geared for alchemists that I'm thinking about buying.

Enoch, How are you coming along with your sheet?

In reply to Enoch (msg # 611):

Thank you. That IS a good way to pay for the Services. Eventually my UMD will be high enough to do it myself.

In reply to The Meta (msg # 612):



Its never good when the DM asks this question.

Just joshing. Somebody put a  file container on my desk, and crushed the flash drive with said information on it. The work files and most of the other things were backed up, but not that. So having to start over from scratch.

And now to an important question, is Craft clockworks a skill? I know clockwork constructs require craft construct, but if someone wanted to craft something like a clockwork cart, what crafting skill would be required for that?

I'm really not sure, so I looked it up:

Also, at risk of encouraging enterprising and creativity (*tongue in cheek*):

(I may allow some homebrewing, but it has to be earned with actual effort and must, absolutely must, be done in game).

Blythe, I think I added you to the general spaces for rp play last night. If I didn't then just know I thought I did and will make sure I do in 4 hours

In reply to The Meta (msg # 609):

Could you have a look at my sheet ? I'm ready to get started

Blythe was planning on starting off somewhere in the lands other than the water. He, quite literally, doesn't want to travel over water. What are other options?
