Okay.  So he'd look like this:




Alright.  Characteristics prior to the age penalty are:



Now that Tristan is 8, he would look like:



Your arts will be opened up, so you have a score of 0 in all fifteen Arts.

You've learned some Latin.  You would get 15 points in Latin.  So I think you're score would be Latin 2.  Have to check that.

You will also get 5 points in Magic Theory and 5 points in Order of Hermes Lore.

The rest of the time, you've been helping Master in the laboratory or running laps.

Did you want to spend any of your banked story XP?
Qik +1

I’ll keep it banked now until I have a better idea of how to use it.  Looking forward to learning some real magic.

In reply to Tristan (msg # 115):

Which brings us to the last item on the agenda.  Your Arts training.

You are going to get some XP from teaching on this.  Not much.

Master is stressing Rego at first.  So you get 3 XP in that, which I think brings your score to that up to 2.

Re 2

He's going to teach you in one other Art.  I will let you chose it.

If you make it a Form, you can start experimenting with Spontaneous Magic.  Something we will get into in the next story thread.  You don't have to.  But to cast a spell, you need one Technique (which Rego is) and one Form.  Any preferences on what Form you want to start messing with?

If I choose Mentem, could I use it to ward off my faery friend?

In reply to Tristan (msg # 117):

Sorry all.  Got noticed this afternoon I have to deal with a project at work due in the AM.  So I will catch up on posts tomorrow.

Thanks.

Tristan:  depends on the type of fairy.  If you are taking something just for that, I'd recommend Animal or Auram.  Will give you a better answer tomorrow.  Thanks.

I wouldn't want to choose a form just to ward off fairies, but I'm sure Tristan will want to get into some kind of magic that will help him in that department.

In reply to Tristan (msg # 119):

So you get three points in Mentem, which brings your score there to 2.

I will work up an updated Tristan on Metacreator and post him.

We can start the next story thread tomorrow.

Thanks.

Should I put Rego 2 and Mentem 2 on my character sheet?

Yes.

As previously mentioned, I will be travelling next week.  Will try to post when I can, but cannot guarantee I will be able to.

For those in the States, Happy Thanksgiving.

For those not in the States, Happy Work Week.

I will catch up on posts when I return Monday 11/27.

Thanks.

Happy Thanksgiving back to you, and a merry Work Week as well.

In reply to Tristan (msg # 124):

Hello All.

I am back.  Working on trying to catch up on posts.

Thanks.

It looks like I already had single weapon 1.  Any chance I could buck for 2?

I'll give it to you.

Sweet!  Thx.

I now have listed Single Weapon (thrown spear) 2 and Single Weapon (dagger) 1.  Is this correct?

The Marial Skills are one of the more ticky parts of AM in my opinion.

Single Weapon covers a familiarty with all one handed weapons.  You can specialize in one of them for the bonus.

Great Weapons is the same thing, but for two handed weapons.

Bows are exactly that.

Thrown Weapons are for missle weapons other than bows/crossbows.

Brawl covers unarmed combat.  But it also covers knives.

So Tristan would have a Single Weapon skill which would cover the sword training he's gotten and using the spear hand to hand (it's a short spear.  So it doesn't count as a two handed weapon).

Throwing the spear would fall under the Thrown Weapon ability.

The dagger would fall under Brawl.

So I was thinking Tristan had:

Single Weapon (spear) 2
Brawl (Knife) 1
Throwing Weapon (spear) 1

But if you want to rearrange those scores, go ahead and do so.  You have a total of four "levls" you can assign between those three skills: Single Weapon, Brawl, and Throwing Weapon.

Don't change the specializations up.  You can do that later as Tristan progresses.  Let's just give him a leg up for this story line.

Dagger is covered under Brawling?  Yeah, that is confusing.

Okay, I've updated those skills, with no changes.  Thx.

Sorry folks.  Have an unexpected work deadline.  Will catch up on posts tomorrow.  Thanks.

Hello All My Games.

My apologies for the lack of updates yesterday and today.  Everyone here caught the flu this weekend, and it wen through us pretty hard.  I need to get some sleep.  Will update tomorrow.

Thanks for your patience.

Happy New Year.

Note to all my games:  starting this week, my posting schedule is going to change slightly.

I plan on posting Monday through Wednesday, off Thursday, and post Friday.  I will post either Saturday or Sunday as my weekend schedule allows.

It's a slight change up, but I will try to update four to five times a week.

Thanks for your patience and your participation.  Hope we all have good games for the coming year.

Sorry folks. Computer issues. Hang tight please. Thanks

Hey All Games.  Sorry for the two day delay.  Had Internet issues the past few days.

Will catch up on posts tonight.

Thanks.

Sorry folks.  Flight was very delayed and I didn't get in until very late.  Will catch up on posts tomorrow.\

Thanks.

Hi All Games.  Hope you had a Happy Easter or Happy Weekend.

I had an unexpected family emergency over the weekend.  I will get back to posting tomorrow, Monday.  Sorry for the delay.  Things happen.

I appreciate your patience.  Thanks.

Sorry All.  I had to catch a plane.  Will catch up on posts Tuesday.  Thanks.
