Dose the weight carried in deeppockets count against the characters encumberance, or are the pockets extra-dimensional?

I've always assumed that the pockets are extra dimensional and thus the weight doesn't count towards encumberance.

Then again, I play a relatively old Illusionist who really likes this spell along with his bag that weighs on 3 lbs and can caryy up to 57 lb.

The main "point" of the spell is the extra-dimensional space that saves
encumbrance. The spell is pretty limited and unfriendly to use apart from
that. Others have also had this query. Does the text need clarification ?

You cannot write a rule so that the reader needs not do ANY thinking at all.
It may not even be advisable.

It is hard to know what significant advantage it would be to have this spell
NOT provide some relief from the Encumbrance penalties.

One must assume that the reader actually has a brain. Pandering to stupidity
creates an environment where stupidity abounds.

Do you part for Natural Selection. Make the rules as difficult to understand
as possible, and improve the gene pool.

Concerning Stun:

I am unclear on how often a character may attempt to recover from stun.  I think that they may attempt to recover twice a pulse, once on their (modified inishitive), and once at the end of every pulse.  Is that right?

If you could start a multi-gm game from the begnning would players be allowed to roll for points or should everyone start with a standard ammount? or Would you get rid of rolling all to geather by assigning say 95 character points and charging extra points fore special aspect/high social/unusual race/ambidexterity?

No that is incorrect. Normally a character gets to attempt to recover 
from stun on their action. In the pulse they are stunned they can also 
attempt to recover from stun at the end of the pulse. This means that 
during the pulse they are stunned (and no other) they may attempt to 
recover from stun twice, f they have not yet acted when they are stunned 
(once on their action and once at the end of the pulse).

The above statements are correct for non-quickened characters.

cheers,

clare

In the Seagate Adventurers guild we allow both. A character may roll, 
and take what they get, or chose to have 90 points.
