Quote from: Ninja D!Is any XP gained for a failed spell? Just thought of that.

Within a couple of sessions, I should be able to gain another level in Spirit SP. Then it's probably time to let something else have a little more XP once in a while.
I give 5 exp for a failed anything these days.
I love the idea that we learn from faiure.
And also, this way, from a game standpoint, even if you suck at a skill you have in GS, if you keep trying, you'll get better.  It may take a while, but it happens.
So 5 exp total to spread around for the failed spell.

Feeding Spirit is never a bad thing.  Remember that every type of spell point also has dropdown skills; success (except Spirit), reclamation, knowledge (except Spirit).  So you can, if you want, learn those subs and increase  the speed that you reclaim spell points.  
90% of casters have their spell success remail as a 50% dropdown, i.e, 20 points in spirit means a 10 skill in spirit reclamation (at .05 of that per hour awake, or .15 of that per hour asleep).  But upper level casters often pick up reclamation as as skill in their main areas of expertise, so as to get stuff back faster.

I'm going to miss the next session, unfortunately. I'm going to leave some of my stats available, since I just leveled in a few things.

HP = I'm at 17 out of 19. I also have Minor Preparation for Combat up.

Protect = !roll (55-1d10)/(2d6/2)

Weapon DMG = !roll (2d4+11)/1d6+4

Quote from: Ninja D!I don't remember - What does one have to do to learn a new skill?
One goes to your guild and asks to learn the skill.  If your guild sucks at what you want to learn, network...
The game mechanic for learning a new skill is the Skill Kit.

And tonight, my unconventional conventionalists, we play SIG, continuing the fight with the gnolls on the staircase.  
Combat, we start in combat, in 8:40 PM, eastern time.

Ah, silly me. I only thought of it from my perspective :P. I hope everything was okay! My sheet hadn't changed that much from before, and I know I gave it to you a while back.

There was no need for it. Ya'll missed Vreeg's therapy session...I mean SIG. I was the only one of the regulars present and even I was late. There was something else going on, though...so what about next week?


LordVreeg

It's OK.  My degree work was all in Psych.

I do need to get a roll call and know who is showing up when.  Last night I manily played Jon, since the captured guys were the available ones, and I hate to play a combat when the fighters embroiled are missing.  I have been, and will continue to be, very fast and loose and casual, but I do need a bit of notice to plan the session properly.
The Roster for PLayers and PCs is currently....
Llum-Triske
LT-Moss
SD-Smiggles
Ninjad-Victor
Weave-Astell
Thanlis-Valtonian
Sigmund-Jon
TMG-Max (on sabattical)

So please let me know about next session (8/30) and approximate participation plans.  Love you guys, and 90 sessions is more than I ever thought we'd get out of this, but I need to be able to make plans as well.

Llum

I'll be back next week. Like I said I missed the last 4 because of shiftwork but I'm done working for the summer now so it's all good.
