I like it. Simple, clear, expansive and should be fun to use. especially when a goblin starts to run off with a severed arm. I like Keith's comment on skin - our predeliction with fire makes that a likely need for repair or regeneration. I like the bit on re-attaching. I dont agree with Keith that a separate bit of cleaning is required, as the magic can include that, although I do like the idea of dipping a severed arm in leaches and drinking wine for inner cleanliness.... <grin> Is the intention for demons to be able to reattach in zero minutes (full functionality is in 5 hours)? to show my ignroance, and tiredness, how does this fit with healing spec grev injuries? It is all good.

A body part for the purposes of healer is an arm, a leg, the torso, or the head. NB Major organs are already defined and must be repaired/regenerated separately (existing rules). 2. Repair may repair a body part (or part of a body part) provided it is mostly intact and no more than half damaged. 3. A (Rk9+) Healer may initiate Regeneration of a body part in (50 - 3Rank) Hours. NB. This is the same time as repair takes. Regeneration will regenerate Rank percent of a missing body part per day costing the target Rank FT per day. 4. Repair may reattach a severed body part in (30 - 2Rank) minutes. And may Repair it (at the standard 50 -3Rk Hrs) to full functionality provided it was separated for no more than Rank minutes. Or may Regenerate it (taking 50-3Rk Hrs) to full functionality provided it was separated for no more than Rank hours. ------------ Pre-emptive comment... 1. The 'body parts' are big and chunky and not of equal mass/size/complexity, but I think it keeps the overall solution reasonably simple. 2. Small change in wording from the current rule. Hopefully making a bit clearer where repair cuts out and regen comes in. 3. The idea here is that a Healer gets to spend 1 day starting the regeneration and smaller regeneration (e.g. a finger or two) will be complete at the end of that time, full regeneration of an arm or leg will take up to 9 days after the healer finishes before it is complete. And a hardened adventurer will probably take to the field again with proportionately more arm/leg each day. The daily FT cost on the target is representing the drain on the body and setting inherent limits on how much simultaneous regen can be done. Most adventurers could carry on with one limb regrowing but would struggle to keep up while regrowing two. Sabrona the half-god (using a fictitious example) could probably continue adventuring while regrowing all 4 limbs. 4. Re-attaching bits is not covered at all in the current rules. But the intention is that it's worthwhile saving the missing bit if you can (and have quick access to a Rk6+ Healer). But 20 hours at rank 10 or 5 hours for demons is still the minimum to get you functioning again. Cheers, Stephen. -- to unsubscribe notify mailto:dq-request@dq.sf.org.nz --

Skin is an organ according to modern science. Correct me if I'm wrong but I suspect that this is a 20th century discovery/decision. For fantasy/game terms, it is just the outermost layer of your flesh. Covered by Rk 6 for Repair or Rk 9 for Regen. >> 4. Repair may reattach a severed body part in (30 - 2*Rank) minutes.

So I suspect that some regeneration could be necessary to perform a > successful re-attachment. Again, for modern medicine, yes! But for fantasy magical healing, not so much. Your severed arm falls into the sand, gets kicked around a bit during the fight, then afterwards your Rk 6 healer spends 20 minutes reattaching it, grit and all. The following day back at the pub they start repairing it properly, during the repair process bits of sand and dirt ooze out of the skin. > Now .. where did I put those leeches? Leeches, wine, or spirits are the tools of Physikers. Or a matter of personal style for Healers. -- to unsubscribe notify mailto:dq-request@dq.sf.org.nz --

I thought about minimum 1 minute but then figured that Demons would probably fake it being instant anyway. > to show my ignroance, and tiredness, how does this fit with healing spec grev injuries? Currently, each Spec Grev injury must be Repaired taking (60-3*Rk) hours. Or a week per injury if Regen is required. With the new definition of body parts, GMs may allow all wounds in one body part to be Repaired at the same time. Some GMs currently allow all spec Grevs to be repaired at once (to avoiding the party stopping for a month of healing after each fight).

Some GMs currently allow all spec Grevs to be repaired at once... Slight aside to the main topic, but this is tied in part to the question of "how much of the healer's time does each injury take?" If the X hours are X 100% of the healer's attention then multiple wounds cannot be attended (whether on the same patient or on different patients), and the actual time taken (lost from play) is longer than the time shown as the healer usually has to sleep, eat, etc. My GMing preference is that the healer has to spend some initial time on the process and then check up / boost things every few hours. This allows a) the same healer to attend multiple wounds / patients, b) the player of the healer to do things other than be taken completely out of play, and c) the injured character to suffer for a while. :-) Cheers, Martin ------=_Part_2306_23818030.1209597905626 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline On Thu, May 1, 2008 at 10:23 AM, Stephen Martin <<a href="mailto:stephenm@aklnz.net">stephenm@aklnz.net</a>> wrote:<br><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Currently, each Spec Grev injury must be Repaired taking (60-3Rk) hours....

I agree Julia Ranking often get tricky when I need 2 more weeks to get to x rank in x weapon but have no other thing I particularly want to rank. The adventure starts and I am 2 weeks away from x rk with x weapon and have to ask the party and gm to let me train for the first 2 weeks of game time. At rks 7 to 10 its more that 1 full session to get a rank. Its often more than 1 full session + the reminder of the session I've just returned from. So that is 2 sessions before I can play my primary PC again. And because weapons are primary for him that happens frequently. Hamish -----Original Message----- From: dq-owner@dq.sf.org.nz [mailto:dq-owner@dq.sf.org.nz] On Behalf Of Julia McSpadden Sent: Wednesday, April 30, 2008 6:52 PM To: dq@dq.sf.org.nz Subject: [dq] Warrior - weapons training time Hi All I have been thinking about weapons training, having just spent some time where my character got tougher if I didn't play much and I would like some feed back/ discussion on a small change that I think might make the game a little bit more fun for those in the same boat. Basically I think it would be nice if warriors can rank a weapon in both their ranking slots. So for a warrior to go from rank 3 to 4 in glaive, they can either spend 8 half day weeks ranking glaive, and rank another weapon or skill alongside this as usual or 4 full day weeks with no other training taking place. The benefit of this is at high ranks you can do 10 full weeks on dagger or unarmed or whatever... and go out on your next adventure with a new shiney ability to play with. The reason I have suggested this as a warrior ability is purely that the warrior skill requires so many highly ranked weapons. Thanks all Julia -- to unsubscribe notify mailto:dq-request@dq.sf.org.nz --

So this is a constant issue for warriors, and a more occasional one for mages. Could a Warrior remind those of us less familiar with the skill of the requirements?

Basically I think it would be nice if warriors can rank a weapon in both their ranking slots. So for a warrior to go from rank 3 to 4 in glaive, they can either spend 8 half day weeks ranking glaive, and rank another weapon or skill alongside this as usual or 4 full day weeks with no other training taking place. The benefit of this is at high ranks you can do 10 full weeks on dagger or unarmed or whatever... and go out on your next adventure with a new shiney ability to play with. The reason I have suggested this as a warrior ability is purely that the warrior skill requires so many highly ranked weapons.

From	Andrew Luxton-Reilly

To get to rank 10 Warrior, you need minimum 4 weapons at rank 7 and another 3 weapons at rank 5. Rank 7 weapon takes 57 weeks Rank 5 weapon takes 31 weeks In total, 321 weeks of training time to meet the requirements. Since you can train two weapons at the same time, that amounts to 160.5 weeks, or a little over 3 years of solid ranking to meet the requirements for Rk 10 Warrior. If you wanted to actually rank warrior to 10, that is another 63 weeks, bringing the total to 384 full weeks or 3.7 years of exclusive ranking. By comparison, note that a mage would spend 210 weeks to get a ritual to Rk 20. This would take approximately 4 years, but would allow you to rank other magic at the same time. In other words, ranking warrior to 10 is more or less equal in ranking time to ranking 2 rituals to 20,.

I as a GM allow a healer to be able to work on Healer rank points at any one time. So; 90-92 A Broken hip did 5 EN damage... etc 41-42 A glancing blow opens your scalp doing 2 EN damage ... etc 08 A puncher to the groin take 3 EN damage ... A rank 8 healer could start healing any two of the wounds. A rank 10 healer could start to heal all three at once. I do this as its simple and easy. I don't really care if it doesn't work 100% of the time, but its fast, and consistent for the players.
