Errr...That should be a 62% chance of the spell failing or being avoided.

I'm hiding too, I haven't offered an opinion (other than on one small aspec=
t) yet.
I will note that there seems to be quite a gap between how others expect/th=
ink Namers are useful, and WordSmith's experience. I'm not sure (my memory =
may be lacking) if he has ever banished anything, for instance (most off-pl=
ane stuff he's encountered didn't arrive by summoning - Counterspell requir=
ed to Banish has been a fairly common question, however).
He has been on a couple of adventures 'over his level', as they called for =
a Namer's investigative ability and more 'level-appropriate' Namers weren't=
 available.
As Michael notes, he hasn't learnt any new Counters (but has a handful of i=
nteresting GTNs).
Lizette's and WS's experiences obviously differ a lot if Divination isn't o=
ne of his top 3 'requests'.

Jim raises a good point about reducing college MA.

If we're looking for a way to reduce the burden on Namers with regard to CS
ranking (EP & Time) and want to achieve this with the lowest overall impact
then modifying CS in some way only within the Namer college would seem least
risky.

Parky's 7-point font CS spreadsheet aside for a moment, the lowest impact
approach would seem to be to directly tackle the EP and Time of Namer CS
ranking.

Off-the-cuff solution:

1) reduce the EM cost of Namer CS -- this would also reduce their training
time per Parky's post.
2) allow Namers to rank the GK and SK of a College as a single training
"slot" -- effectively, Namers ranking SK gives them equal GK rank for free.

This would affect Namers without impacting CS in general, or branches, or
college MA, etc... all of which risk unintended downstream consequences (due
in part to the large number of extant and uncontrolled game "objects" --
e.g. magic items, weird magic and abilities -- that may depend on current
definitions of CS or Branches, etc).

If at the same time we wanted to consider making out-of-college CS rankable
by anyone, and/or altering the MR bonuses we could do so.

Cheers,
Martin

Or we add a new GK ability to every college.  It is a potential issue but I figured we'd be
able to find a solution.

How is this a change? ;)

Yes, or they could rank the useful SK spells in their own college.  Last thing you want in a
party is an E&E with lots of counterspells but no Quickness.

It also means that non-Namer Adepts would have the same number of

Apart from E&E GKCS which is required to wake Rk10+ Slept entities, the GKCS have almost no
value to the game, add no flavour, and are generally pointless.  Most characters that rank
them only do so to clear an MA slot or because they had nothing better to do with their XP and
Time.

This is not a problem, it's an opportunity to create new and flavourful GK spells or rituals
for the colleges that need them. :-)

IF we're going to make a change then we should make the best change we can.

You are referring to the time taken to teach a non-Namer? So if EM changed =

Subject[dq] Baby Namer Question - The Third Stream
FromBen Taberner

--001636e0add8a8c48804892db0c1
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

Since there has been a deluge of shockingly constructive Namer/Counter Spell
discussion lately, I'd though I'd chip in with a parallel topic.  I've
recently (in years) played my first adventure with a baby Namer and I've yet
to tackle the wonderful world of three stream ranking.

I'm just wondering what experiences other Namer players have had and whether
the complexity in introduces is comparable to the joy of more columns in
your Ranking spreadsheet and balancing your choices between the various
kinds of doom you anticipate seeing on adventure?  How effective or onerous
a limit does this place on the inevitable ascension of a Namer to the ranks
of the mighty?  How much more of a chore has it become when compared to the
greater range of SK spells available now?

Naturally it's a cornerstone of Namer Superiority, but could this
idiosyncrasy be simplified to an equivalent (or inverse) of Talent
ranking?

Given that I'm tragically lazy, should I give up on this Namer lark and play
a Celestial or something?

I also meant to say, I believe the current Rules as written don't allow you=
 to teach any Counterspells that you may happen to know to an Adept of a di=
fferent College than your own.
As we obviously want this to be allowed (e.g. Namers teaching non-Namers as=
 a minimum), we should write it down clearly if we are adjusting Namer/Coun=
ters anyway.

1) reduce the EM cost of Namer CS -- this would also reduce their training =

You are referring to the time taken to teach a non-Namer? So if EM changed =

Jim raises a good point about reducing college MA.

If we're looking for a way to reduce the burden on Namers with regard to CS=
 ranking (EP & Time) and want to achieve this with the lowest overall impac=
t then modifying CS in some way only within the Namer college would seem le=
ast risky.

Parky's 7-point font CS spreadsheet aside for a moment, the lowest impact a=
pproach would seem to be to directly tackle the EP and Time of Namer CS ran=
king.

Off-the-cuff solution:

1) reduce the EM cost of Namer CS -- this would also reduce their training =
time per Parky's post.
2) allow Namers to rank the GK and SK of a College as a single training "sl=
ot" -- effectively, Namers ranking SK gives them equal GK rank for free.

This would affect Namers without impacting CS in general, or branches, or c=
ollege MA, etc... all of which risk unintended downstream consequences (due=
 in part to the large number of extant and uncontrolled game "objects" -- e=
.g. magic items, weird magic and abilities -- that may depend on current de=
finitions of CS or Branches, etc).

If at the same time we wanted to consider making out-of-college CS rankable=
 by anyone, and/or altering the MR bonuses we could do so.

I actually treat it as 4 stream ranking - two normal, one Names only, and a=
 fourth that can make use of any gaps in the first pair (e.g ranking a ritu=
al with no other magic in the 'other half). So my list of names on my ranki=
ng sheet has four columns, available to allocate the days required to be sp=
ent.

I normally do my ranking 'as normal', then put a couple of ranks into which=
ever Names I think might be useful until I run out of spare days.
I did have a lot of time off early on, so got the main player races to midd=
ling ranks then. This was partly because it was less daunting than trying t=
o guess what other names might become useful.

This stream allow a Namer to rank there names, a very much needed part of
the Namer college.

 

Casting against a target about which you don't know at least the GTN incurs
a fairly hefty penalty to cast chance.

 

Ranking an ITN gives a good bonus (2) to cast chance per rank

And GTN a small bonus (1)..

 

This will mean most Namer will rank there ITN..  as spell such as dispel,
banishment etc,, are cast at yourself, then you cast the appropriate counter
at the thing you want to have it activate on.

This means at a minimum your will want to know the GTN (learns the name at
Rank 0), and preferably rank it to increases your cast chance...

I think Parky was referring to Namers (having learnt Blue Cheese College or
whatever) in the manner you state being requested (after reaching rk6) to
teach it to non-Namers.

(Though I may have misunderstood Michael).

A clear case of the sensible thing to do make the written rules clearly ref=

Just needs an extra sentence after:

These spells and rituals are
still specific to a College so an Adept can only learn
them from another Adept of the same College.

As we obviously want this to be allowed (e.g. Namers teaching non-Namers as=

Sorry, also note that Namers don't need to be rank 6 to teach _another Name=
r_ counterspells that they know. The process of teaching/learning 'familiar=
ity' is different from normal spell teaching/learning.

If a Namer encounters Colleged
magic of a form with which they are not familiar they
may familiarize themselves with the College by one
of the following methods:
* By using the Ritual of Divination on an Adept of
that College.

I don't think so. He usually sends people to the the Guild Namers if they
want to learn an unusual counterspell.

Martin is correct.  In the most recent case, it was easy enough for me to l=
earn it and to teach it to the Guild Namer; but a couple of non-Namer guild=
 members on the party wanted to learn Counter Exsanguination Special.  So I=
 had to rank it to rank 6 first ["An Adept must have ranked a spell or ritu=
al to Rank 6 before they can teach it."],  and then spent three weeks teach=
ing it ["Characters may learn Counterspells from colleges other than their =
own. The Counterspells of other colleges are practised at Rank 0 and may no=
t be ranked."].

In the past, I've also taught counters to guild-members if there was spare =
"down-time" (e.g. on a long voyage where someone else was navigating), beca=
use medium-level character were out adventuring with no magical cure or pro=
phylactic for Rank 10+ Sleep, or Damnum minatum, or Phantasm, etc ...

It is no real additional work as long as you use Neils Namer ranking MS

Umm I would be unkeen to have the rules changed to suit you since you don't
play a Namer very often, but if we have to do it I guess I would go along
with helping you to understand it.

Celestial is okay, but try an Earth Mage if you really want to be lazy ;-)

I've just skimmed most of the arguements but I'm wondering if it focus's too
much on the high end. I don't think we should reduce the MR because a few
people at the high ends can get over a 100% MR. Most people at bunny, low,
medium and I suspect a lot at high don't go over 100% MR with a current
level 0 CS. My namer doesn't go to 100% with any MR with her rank 6
counterspells. Can we use more standard levels for talking about MR rather
than the few rares. If we debated armor in the same context I suspect that
the extremes have far more armour than we might like in general. Probably
also too much damage. Doesn't mean everyone should suffer. Maybe just be a
little more careful about what is given to them to allow them insane stats.

There is no focus on the high end of the game, and never has been, Dylan.
It's about the size of the bonus.
Assuming a 70% base chance, and 15 MR the chance of the spell being avoided
or failing is 40%. If you have a Rank 0 counterspell on, that chance is 62%,
which means that the caster would have a way less than even chance of
getting the spell to stick. Counterspells give a beginning character twice
the MR that they start with 15=>45, and they go up from there.
I don't understand where you have derived the notion that this is about what
happens at the high end of the game.

Fr. Rowan is too high for his game, he has removed me from it, and now I
have no game this season. I'm annoyed.
