[HQ Ignorance] Re : Scene 41: Arrival at Seguarane Forest

[Lev Lafayette]

Hi Loran,

[OOC stuff]

A lot of the material comes from

http://www.etyries.com/malkioni/index.htm

I believe it was previously published in Tales of the
Reaching Moon, but I'm not sure - don't have a full
run myself, sadly...

For purposes of this event consider Talor's Blessing
to be a Affinity for the Talor subcult of Hrestoli
Malkonism. The feats included are: Joyous Fighting
(removes fear obviously, possibly disconcerting to
opponents as well), Endless Warrior (no fatigue or
incapacitation), Great Warrior (augment to combat, can
be boosted by reducing magical ability for subsequent
24 hours at the same rate as if casting on multiple
individuals)

All of these are at 13. If you want them as permanent
magic abilities rather than a one off, you could
purchase the Affinity (and join the subcult for 3 HP)
OR purchase the Feats individuals (1 HP each)

Does this make sense?


Yeah, it's very HQ, laughing at Vampires.... Don't
forget to aim for the head! ;-)

All the best,


Lev
