My Fire Imp swims towards the human + mule.

[Strife26]

Wait, who were you yelling at? Me with the tags, or the others with no formatting?

Actually, the original ruling was deal with an old game waaaaay back when 12 first came out, with the much maligned "add rules to set 12" error which made those rules carry over to *all* subsequent rules. For awhile we were using the same rule loophole to cancel out the annoying rule changes, but then they closed it in 13 without looking at the 7 set universal protection rule which lent protection from everything (except certain methods, like the aforementioned 12 slham), making a fair number of those rule perfect canon level. However, because they aren't technically in a set, we gave them colloquial names based off of the circumstances surrounding their creating (as per the Renaming push back when there was a big argument between sets 18, 19, and Theta).


Now, in this case, we'll note that when I was posting this post (discounting the inevitable ninjaing), no changes had been made to the board since my last bcp (board-changing post), which means that I get a -15 global renown penalty (it's not -25 because of the two non-bcp posts before this one (and once again, dis-including ninja posts). Additionally, I take another 5 GR penalty because of the way that the formatting was messed up (instead of 10, which it would be if I wasn't fixing it right now).

Because I've got negative GR points, but no active tile, I have to place a dr:fc (direct representation: forum character) due to the rule regarding phantom debtors. Note that if I wanted, I could place a dr:rls (real life self) in accordance with my public status (after the calamity-split/ban ruling), which was confirmed by exec vote several games ago (using exec voting rules 1c and 6)

Strife has the plannar (messing with reality expansion) tag, so he auto-passes his void check. I'll take cursed:skilldrain:knitting on Strife to burn 3.5 of my GR deficit.

Gah. -2 more GRP for the tag, but at least I caught it first, before someone else could claim the five GN points for it.

[Aklyon]

We have renown now? How would a fire imp get some?

[Strife26]

It might, it'd depend on what (if any) special abilities/tags the imp has. If you'll consult the table that forms the bulk of the "creature tag enhancement" (any edition of cte is acceptable, as they're non-version specific supplements), you can see most of the examples (there's a few others found in various places, notable the extra-plannar creature guides) of possible tags that would generate GR. For a creature that's already in play, it'd have to be one of the hidden tags. For the GR effect to trigger, something would have to happen to the creature to flip the tag into the public position.


For example, if we assume that the human and male have the loyal trader tag (item 14 on the cte table), it'd generate 1-15 GR for it's owner (see the note on the table, the amount increases if the taggee picks up items of value) when the tag becomes public. In general, tags become public when they would change the taggee's behavior. In our example, the construction of a Trade Depot (made easier because I've my earlier actions) or something that would normally separate the creatures would make the human/mule act differently than it would if it didn't possess the loyal trader tag. At that point, the GR would activate.


I'm happy to answer any other questions that people have. I'll even look stuff up for people who don't have a decent set of tacticus books.

[Zrk2]

OK, one thing that bugged me in the last Tacticus game I was in, are there actual rulebooks, or is this all just a study in who can BS more eloquently? I tried that and people went with it, so...

[Strife26]

Alright, the "tears of players" effect is activated. Rain showers everywhere.

I'm pretty sure there aren't any.

[Criptfeind]

Yes, there are real books, sadly the last time someone tried to collect them all the earth was sucked into the resulting black hole and we all died.

We were forced to do a hard restart of reality and, to make sure it did not happen again, we uploaded a link to a virtual storage area where all the rules are kept to everyone’s mind. Now it instantly downloads the needed rule whenever you send a unconscious mental query to the data base, it seems like you are making stuff up, but in reality the rules are just popping into your mind.

My Reacher Demon, powers detailed in the Forces of the Beyond expansion, chapter 66c, subsection 26, enters from the southwest, provoking a roll against dimensional distortion, which is covered in the Planar handbook. Planar creatures are exempt from this, as well as the demon itself, due to its <Dimensional Anchor> Attribute.

Demolitions dwarf is knocked unconscious by the blast and the fact he was exposed to sunlight! Demolitions dwarf loses one turn!

My mule makes a void check (at +1 because of the Sterile Hybrid advantage), rolling 13. Success!

My human unpacks the mule, deploying a Portable Ballista [Ctrl + 1d6] and equpping a Sword [3d4].

My skeleton whale gets pulled into the void, along with the boat because of the -The void sucks shit up- rule, The kobold quickly removes himself from the boat, taking a sack with some tools in it, along with a crossbow in hand, he makes his to to the unburnt portion of the forest, digging a moat to stop the lava.

My knight pulls his necromancer from the void because of a failed Anchor roll stated in the Hordes of the Undead Rulebook Ch. 15 Subsection 6
and then stated in chapter 20 subsection 8 you roll 1d20 to decide if it pulls nay minions with it thru the void [20] it pulls 2 skeletal knights through the void with him, and since the undead don't have the ability to roll for a Elven Friendship they are automatically hostile to them.
