Update 3.21
Greetings, OH Members:
Please be sure to take a look at our calendar as I've packed nearly a full week of activity in due to the Weekly Challenge, you're welcome. :) Now scroll down and see what the Weekly Challenge is! Have you scrolled back up to keep reading? Hi again. So yes, as you can see I've enabled you to gain a good bit of extra XP, GP, and reputation this week. So, pick out a quest, and a mission this week for the challenge and of course we'd love to have you go on more than that as well!
Here's a tidbit you may not know. What does the Update 3.21 mean? Well, 3 is our year in existence, and 21 is the 21st update of the year! We are actually more like 2 years old as we started near the end of 2012, but we denote each new year in our updates!
Dark Omens Update: The team has found out the date of the upcoming prophetic triple eclipse from the master astrologer Veronica Starchaser. She has informed everyone it will be on the full moon in Zumyan's Pyre (August).
The Wandering Tournament is coming up soon! Please see the information, and note in your calendars it starts on June 6th. Please contact (iyieldtonone) for information.
REMEMBER: Please sign up for all quests at this time. Send an email to tesarikone (or whoever is hosting the quest).
Don't forget, if you have crafting skills it's time for you to ask for your crafting points. Don't forget to tell (psionicwanderer) and let him know how you want your points divided between skills if you have multiples...i.e. "Alchemy 8CP, Artisan 2CP". If you have skills or items that give you more points, you need to claim that on your email.
WEEKLY CHALLENGE
Your challenge this week is to attend ONE quest and ONE mission! You may complete this challenge once per character this week.
Your challenge this week will earn you double rewards. So, if you go on a quest and earn 10XP, 2000gp and .5 Reputation, if you submit this for the challenge you'll actually get 20XP, 4000gp and 1 reputation!
Please label your email clearly as Weekly Challenge so I know exactly what it is! Remember, 1 mission and 1 quest per character. Every person must send in separately, so I can keep up with characters and what they've done so when you get your receipt, forward it to me labeled as the Weekly Challenge: Mission (char name) or Weekly Challenge: Quest (char name).
If you don't follow the rules of submission I reserve the right to refuse the bonus! Ha!
NEW CHARACTER BONUS & RECRUITMENT INCENTIVE
We have a new incentive to new characters! New characters will start at Crystal Adept with 30XP and 2d32 dice. They will also be given 3000gp to outfit their character.
Recruiters, if you recruit a new player (not just someone's new character), then you will receive 10XP & 2000gp per player that actually fills out an application correctly and is accepted! You may put this xp & gp on any character you wish.
CALENDAR
While it is a change to be using the Calendar System on our boards, let's try to start using it. This includes me! I will be using our Calendar system more and more, it's right across the top, click it for info. IF YOU ADD A DATE, I've added a new board called "Event Calendar" and you can link all your posts there, so if you are hosting a mission or quest, or other activity please use the calendar to let us know what's going on.

UPDATES
1. MAGIC SPELL CHANGE: SUMMONS
I've tweaked the rules for summons from magic spells. I've added a strike, and a natural weapon damage.
2. FAMILIARS
I've tweaked familiars just a little bit. Now, having a familiar gives you the benefit of one extra spell in combat besides it's normal abilities of being used as a combat companion.
3. HIT POINT STRENGTHEN SPELLS
Instead of only being used each combat, I'm allowing hit point strengthen spells to be used at the beginning of a quest or whenever you wish to use it, and it lasts the whole quest. This makes it far easier on the DM to just add the extra hp and not have to go back through and erase it at the end of a combat and possibly have to add it back at the next combat. BUT - you may only have one hit point strengthen spell going at one time. So if one mage has already cast it, you CANNOT cast it as well and stack the boosts.
4. FLAW STATE
DM's are now invited to ask for flaws when they ask for info states, that way we can better work in people's flaws into the story we are trying to tell.
