That's definitely a downside and an asymmetry: no other roll entirely precludes the chance of spending enough Tengwars on Pierce (if the weapon allows, anyway) to get it up to 10, so this is a totally unique situation in the rules, if this is really the ruling. It doesn't preclude it, it's simply o...

So if you roll an 11 on your Favoured by the Grey Wizard enhanced die, and you also got some Tengwar and would like to consider spending them on Pierce, what should that 11 be considered as when you're doing the math to see if that gets you up high enough for a piercing blow? I'm assuming you mean ...

I appreciate Michele's contributions on the forums so I'm wary of disagreeing, but I'd be minded to allow piercing blows on an 11 in some cases. "Keen: 5. Keen (weapon) — Attack rolls score a Piercing Blow on a 9+. (p51)" However, note that the subsequent fuller entry for Keen differs: &q...

And yes, it would be a house rule to not apply this, but what if I play on a convention or change the RPG group? Because then it wouldn't be my game anymore. ;) I'd like to have an official rule resp. explanation everybody sticks to without me having to explain why I don't use the misprinted feat d...

If I understand the last table "Major Events" correctly, all benefits as well as all downsides are already described here in these few sentences, without me having to taker a deep dive into the core rulebook and check everything that might be affected by that. So e. g. when I'm hounded by...

I don't see any balancing problems: the inability to obtain a magical success is counterbalanced by a less powerful, but permanent, effect. It's sort of a middle ground between a useful item and a real magic item. Given its ability to ignore the Heartless fell ability of the Undead, it would not be ...

Why, they even took Pimple’s old ma, that Lobelia, and he was fond of her, if no one else was. Some of the Hobbiton folk, they saw it. She comes down the lane with her old umberella. Some of the ruffians were going up with a big cart. ‘‘Where be you a-going?’’ says she. ‘‘To Bag End,’’ says they. ‘...

I did the math based on your “Out of Pocket Expenses” for food and shelter per day for each standard of living. Based on the current values: - [ ] Frugal: 7g & 3s per person per 365-day year - [ ] Common: 29g & 2s per person per 365-day year - [ ] Prosperous: 47g, 4s, & 5c per person pe...

1. Could you specify if the natural 20 is always a Magical Success, or you NEED to have a skill or an item to get the Magical Success to occur. I've read through this rule few times and I'm not sure, so I'm guessing I will not be the only one. It is written that: "Possessing a talent or artefa...

- There are callings that have gaining crafts as an option in their progression, but do not have craft slots. It is mentioned elsewhere that when craft slots are gained, a new craft is also gained. Should it be assumed in reverse, that if a character gains an optional craft (like a Messenger at lvl...
