I think everyone covered the usual options. Most of your weapon options are covered in the rules under section 29. Bronze weapons, and when they can afford ...
While 12.3 says, "If the figure has no prepared weapon, it is equal to his modified Agility+Perception.", is not a prepared spell a weapon? Granted most...
... While the DQ definition of "weapon" is pretty broad (broad enough to include breath weapons, for example; see Section 20), I don't think it should include...

I don't have IV for spell casting. I literally interpret 27.8, "It takes one pulse to prepare a spell as part of the Tactical Procedure and another full Pulse...

For our campaigns, mages did need IV, but only against other spells. We did all attacks first and then spells went off. Mage's IVs were only used to ...
... I think it is pretty clear that the intent of [12.3] is for the IV to be that of the "weapon" you intend to use. That would be called exploiting a...
Often? Definitely not but when it does come up it is usually at one of those critical turning points. If the player gets the spell off before the bad guy then ...

Hi, people... ... In our group we use the spell casting as a pass action. If the magic user is not engaged, he looses the spell when his side acts as...
... See, to me, the use of 'instrument' extends the definition to include more nebulous constructs like spells. It is fairly common in literature to use a...

Cool. Glad to hear of interest in cons. I can't say when il ever b able 2 go 2 another convention for sure (busy: work, etc) but il try 2 get to GenConSoCal. ...
Under [6.3] you have a table of experience multipliers for the various races. The relevant paragraph is: "When a character gains proficiency in an ability, it...
