Rules Update: Arch Caster

Is this for ALL casters like what about wildmages?

Nate:
No, you cannot utilize Battle or Thaumaturgy abilities with scrolls or items/trinkets.

Travis:
"This class may be purchased as a higher list for Mages, Druids, Priests, Bards, or Psionicists"

In that case, what Augment abilities can Battle abilities be combined with? I'm not certain what "Battle Casted abilities may be combined freely, including with each other, or with abilities with other Augment traits" refers to.

Can Double Power be used in conjunction with a Healing (Offense) ability to increase the damage done to undead?

Does the new Fanfare of the Turning Tide stack with Fanfare of Victory?

Travis - Read the first paragraph again.

Nate - Valence. I'll update it when it goes into the Rulebook. I must have copied & pasted a typo once into each different spell at some point...

Valence should take 60 seconds of RP to cast, correct. That was accidentally left out of the update process. Note that Valence is no longer Arcane - it's Valence, which is its own source of power. To learn more, you'll need to find it out In-Game.

Scrolls may not be combined with skills - you're not casting them, you are reading them. The skills also do not specifically state you can use them when making scrolls, so no doing that, either. Remember the golden rule - if it doesn't say you can, you can't do it.

Matt F. - You answered your own question. Iron Body is not Leather, Metal, or Plate armor - those are game mechanical terms for the armor that a Smith makes.

Arc Cast should give it the Spray trait. Technically, Spay is an Area of Effect, but that's an issue with the Spray Trait, not Arc Cast itself. We'll look into that one separately.

Invisible people still leave footprints, no matter HOW invisible they are. The same rule would apply if they were Invisible without AP, and you still couldn't see them.

You cannot combine Absolute Power with Weaponcasting or Spell Holding, correct.

Remember that abilities of the same Source and Nature trait cannot be stacked. Because Augment is a Nature trait, you cannot stack more than one Augment skill at the same time - with the exception of Battle Casting, because it specifically permits this. (This also means you cannot stack more than one Augment (Thaumaturgy) except for the noted exception in Absolute Power, nor can you combine Augment (Battle Casting) with Augment (Thaumaturgy) since they are both Augments.)

Arch-Caster abilities cannot be used with the Healer list - it is not one of the five listed classes. (Wild Mages are in the same situation.)

Both abilities are Arcane (Bardic) Augments, so no.

The Life Domain prayer Lay Hands has the Healing (Offense) trait.
