New Judge and my questions

Post by fadinginterest »

Hello, I ran my first funnel last weekend and we all had a great time. Now I am prepping some materials for my next bunch of players to help them transition from 0-level characters to 1st level. This has me pouring over the rulebook more closely than before and I have some questions.

Here is my first one:

In Chapter 5: Magic, when the book mentions wizard, is there an implied "and elves"? Specifically, can Elves also attempt to cast the Reverse of spells or is that reserved for Wizards? (I am teasing out the differences between the Elf and the Wizard for my players)

*edit*
I spent a bit of the afternoon looking for various takes on this. Most of what I read is from many years ago. What is the current take on Elves and Spellburn, Bonus Spells from INT, and Luck applying to mercurial magic / corruption?


Thanks.

As it is for Wizards, so it is for Elves.

As easy as that.

Of course, if you want to define Elves (or anything else for that matter) as being otherwise in your campaign, that's exactly what you should do.
