Hey Chris Kutalik I'm starting to get the hankering for some original spell research for BC . Given my luck with the dice, I'm thinking some sort of reroll or Advantage* power. 

What level would you treat a spell reading something like "make the next 1d4 attacks with advantage / reroll"? Or alternatively, something simpler like "reroll your next missed attack"? 

*roll 2 take higher

    So something like a "luck" spell? I think the trade off could be that it:1. Has a long duration but a single use or 2. Has a few uses but a small window of use. What do you think?

    Both of those seem pretty good to me. I'd probably be minded for the long-duration, single-use option, so that I could at least get ONE good hit in.

    So I will say that you are researching option one then. So hmm spell level.

    Yeah, I'm thinking I'd like to make a second or third level spell. (Probably don't have enough funds for full-on research yet, but I want to try and figure out how much I should budget.)

    I am gonna say that it's third level. Since you have no such spell currently that I will take mercy on you and say that it only costs you roughly what a scroll of that level costs (so 50 times 3d4). Let's say it's ready in two weeks.

    OK, sounds good. I'll probably "start research" once I get a bit more dosh (still need to recuperate from the spending spree to get to L5).

So we are playing the Feral Shore next week (I really want to commit to getting back going forward in this year with the eventual retirement of Revoca). Here is the recap and update y'all wanted (the linked piece being an updated version of my previous update, make sure to read the stuff here in this post).  Recap The Feral Shore is currently three months behind Revoca in the space/time continuum. Players can take the opportunity now to conduct a week of downtime activity before the session next week. (Some sites in the Weird bend time so I am not going to overworry integrating the two play groups.)  What Happened Last Session and During Downtime: 1. The party killed Milos the creepy hedge wizard of the Deermen in the wooded river basin to your west. Total treasure hauled out (and this was never posted) from furnishings and ancient coins totals 3,100 gold suns and a collection of three filigreed and magically-balanced spent-uranium throwing axes (+1 and an additional 30' of ran...

So with the random murder of the entire badgerman patrol plus plans to commit ethnic cleansing (again) now that negotiations have been utterly torpedoed, I'm starting to feel like we've shifted gears from being inspired by The Eyes of the Overworld to like King Leopold's Ghost or something. And while I can see the dark humor in the entire business, it's really not what I want to stay up late playing through.
