General Discussion / Re: Wall of Fire or Fog Bank shot down by arrows
« on: January 02, 2013, 10:44:37 AM »
Its been my experience that an inexpensive hindrance like a wall of fog can be a real life saver under very specific circumstances (hence it being a level 1 spell, so even if it's out of school it's only 2 spellbook points).

Quick casting that fog bank during the initial quick cast phase might save a creature (or even your mage!) from being shot by said skeleton archer, even if your opponent has the initiative.

Edit: As for the wall of fire being able to be shot down by arrows, I suspect that it's a major balance issue to have a wall such as that have such strong immunities. Then the wall would have to cost more to justify its difficulty to kill, meaning more mana for less utility.

World and Lore / Re: war school of magic.
« on: January 02, 2013, 10:08:41 AM »
I like to think of the war school as a sort of "Charm" magic. Basically it can be used to inspire units to greater heights than they could have accomplished without some kind of magical influence. I would agree with you if there weren't some supernatural feeling spells that fit in the war school but a spell like Battle Fury definitely gives me the feeling of what I'm talking about.

As to your bashing comment, it didn't sound like you're bashing to me :) - I think it's totally valid to call into question the 'vibe' of spells as the creators have obviously gone through so much effort to make sure everything FEELS right. So I'm sure they're interested in this kind of input.

Blew through the apprentice deck's eh?  :)

Have you gotten the itch to build your own deck yet? Make sure if you're going to stick with pre-mades to look up the revised versions of the spellbooks as from what I understand they're much better (and you can have all four decks constructed at the same time).

League / Tournament Play / Starting a League in Pittsburgh, PA
« on: December 27, 2012, 03:19:22 PM »
I'm working on pulling together a league in the Pittsburgh Area (Legions Hobbies and Games) and thought maybe some of you might be from the 'burgh. Our first meetup will be next Thursday at the store at around 7 PM. We'll be discussing how to handle the league and hopefully have a few pickup games :).

If you're interested, shoot me a PM here - or just show up at Legions on Thursday!
