The Mage's Rules for Making Friends

I just started reading it, and it's very good. I haven't laughed so happily while reading a novel in a long time. It's just the author's dark history that makes me a little scared.

Cat people are very cute, dog people are very cute, barbarians are also very cute, and dwarfs are also very cute. In short, it's very fun.

If you don't have this or that, no one will see it?

People who don't know DND don't need to read this explanation. Theoretically, you can read this book without any problem even if you don't know DND. This is an explanation for the increasing number of DND players who are pouring into this book. Including but not limited to players of the "Baldur's Gate" series, "Pathfinder" series, "Icewind Dale" series, "Neverwinter Nights" series of CRPG games, and TRPG desktop running groups. First of all, this book does not copy the rules, but adopts the setting of "life-oriented evolution based on rules". I personally wish he looked more like a medieval adventure novel with fantasy elements. Specific examples can be found in "Dragonlance Chronicles" and "Dragonlance Legend" translated by Zhu Xueheng, and "Dragon Clan" by Korean writer Lee Young-do. Many DND rules were changed in the book. The most obvious point is the "defense level", which is what most players call the change in AC. In CRPG video games and TRPG desktop running groups, a high defense level means that you are not easily hit by enemies. The position of a tank in these games is generally reflected in two points: first, it has thick blood, and second, it is not easy to be hit. For example, a piece of heavy armor in the game will provide a defense level of 7 or 8 points. A person wearing heavy armor will be less likely to be hit by the enemy because of his high defense level. The defense level bonus provided by leather armor and chain armor is much lower than that of heavy armor. This is reflected in the fact that the defense level of a character wearing leather armor will be lower than that of heavy armor, making it easier to be hit by the enemy. This would be very counter-intuitive when written in a novel: a plate-armored warrior holds a large shield with a door panel, and then flexibly dodges the enemy's attacks, but the enemy just can't hit him. Then there was a priest in chain mail, holding a small buckler, but he was hit frequently. This cannot be written. So all the armor and armor-related things in the novel have been processed into damage reduction. Even the defensive wrist guards that the princess received were processed so that there is a force field on the upper body to deflect attacks. Corresponding to this change, magic missiles also had to change, because the armor has reduced damage and is no longer "hard to hit". The rules include "Magic missiles cannot cause damage to inactive objects" (see 3r Wanfa Book), which leads to the setting that magic missiles are not suitable for dealing with heavily armored enemies. Another change in magic missiles is that "magic missiles cannot choose where to hit", so there is a saying that rolling on the ground can prevent magic missiles from hitting the organs. For another example, battles in the game are all handled digitally by rolling dice and taking damage. But the novel can't be written like this. I can't write "Marika dual-wielded weapons for a total of 6 rounds of attacks, hit 4 rounds, rolled 4 1D6, and also had 4 1D6 sneak attack damage." I can't write like this. That's why there is a description of the mage hitting the head with a sling and knocking out the enemy mage. This kind of description can be implemented in the game, but it is not necessary. If you were hit on the head by a stone the size of a goose egg in reality, you would faint. There are also changes regarding magic acquisition. As you level up in the game, the mage can choose any spell he likes from the spell table. But novels cannot be written like this, and novels cannot even be written to upgrade. I just hate these digital things, so I wrote this novel myself. Therefore, in the novel, I weakened the level thing. Non-spellcaster professions cannot tell the level at all. This is the effect I want. Remember, the levels of the physical kitchen knives in this book cannot be determined, and I will describe all their battles with reference to Jackie Chan movies. Not only that, I will definitely arrange a series of Jackie Chan memes for the monks who will join in the future. Back to the acquisition of magic, since there is no upgrade, naturally there is no such thing as choosing a spell from a magic table that you don't know where it comes from. In this book, warlocks adopt the PF setting and obtain spells through blood, while mages must be taught all their spells by a teacher. The mage must have enough experience and knowledge to understand the spell before he can use it. Therefore, the eighth-level mage in the book does not know what the ninth-level spells are like because no one teaches him. He can only find ways to obtain scrolls or seize other people's spell books to learn them. This is why acquiring spells in the book is completely different from the game. Finally, there is an explanation of some settings and developments of this book. The protagonist of this book is called Wang because my surname is Wang. This was originally a book I wrote to make myself happy. I never thought there would be so many people watching and loving it. The protagonist of this book specializes in prophecy and defense, because I hate the protection system, and I just like opposition and protection. After that, the adventure team was formed, and its composition will definitely make some strong party members frown, because that was the configuration of my sand sculpture friends when I ran the group. We have no strength party, not one. Our DM is also crazy and likes to watch us mess around. If you don't like these, you have to use a more reasonable and powerful configuration to run this story. My suggestion is: write one yourself. I just wanted to read DND after watching "Dungeons and Dragons", but couldn't find a satisfactory one, so I wrote it myself. I suggest you write one yourself! In order to allow you to concentrate on your creation, this book will block your right to speak. I won't tell you one by one from now on.

As the author said, this is a traditional DND novel. After reading the free part and the first subscription, my personal evaluation is that this book is well written in the recent fantasy genre. It is well organized and has no major flaws. Nothing too out of the ordinary. The story is pretty good.

Update, don't play games anymore. For the first time, I clearly understand the dangers of playing games.

It's so great without Cthulhu. I can't stand it anymore and have to add a little Cthulhu to everything.

The reason is that this person questioned the author's understanding of AC. The author thinks that this has posted the rules in black and white. The rules say that if the AC is high, it is difficult to be hit, so all players can be treated as misses. Can this still criticize the rules? I was about to take a closer look at this official's speech, and found out that he wrote a line of inspiring words: "Isn't the end of a warrior the One-Punch Man with 99 strength, 99 agility and 99 body?" 99 strength, 99 agility and 99 body? The ancient blue dragon with challenge level 25 has only 39 strength, 10 agility and 27 bodies. Judging from his speech with egg-filled pancakes and lettuce, he probably doesn't understand what challenge level is. Challenge level 25 means that a 4-person team with an average level of 25 and complete equipment can deal with monsters. Judging from this outrageous statement, this reader has only played a few PF video games, such as Wrath of Justice and so on, and he played them with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow. If you read the rule book once, you would never say such outrageous things. If you show a card like this to the DM for review, do you believe he will kick you out of the group immediately? To find fault with this level, it is still based on the rules cited in the original article. I think the seven-day ban for the operating officer is too short. I will ban you until 2073. Not only must it be sealed, but it must also be hung up for public display.

Quick report, I played the Homeworld 3 demo for 6 hours in the past two days.

🙂 I want to be hung up on the city wall, can 66 satisfy me?

I've really gotten into playing Bode lately, but I feel like there's not enough content in Bode, so I can only find novels and video games to satisfy my cravings. It's amazing, right?

Hey, as always, there is no one with good dnd books 🙂

1 Million words! 66 Do you want to give it a complete life?😭😭

It doesn't matter if you're old, you're used to it, but it's been five months, where's the new book?

I really like this style, but I don't know how to do it anymore.

Adventures are fun, simply writing adventure stories is great, and the characters are vivid. I really hate fantasy novels about fighting for hegemony or becoming a god. It's too big to grasp, and it's far-fetched and embarrassing to write.

This book is great! Although I have only read less than ten chapters, the traditional DND mage setting, plus the fact that the protagonist does not have a golden finger to avoid casting materials, is very original and great! I particularly like caster professions such as mages and priests, but many of the Western fantasy novels I find are battle mages or direct magic and martial arts cultivation. This is refreshing, but the protagonists are all super capable, and the repetition is too high. And this one! He is actually a super rare original orthodox mage who doesn't forcefully pretend to be cool. This is simply awesome! I have never found any other normal mages at the starting point. Normal mages have become a rare breed! It's like when I saw Rogue Glory, I discovered that the Paladin has always been a good guy from the beginning to the end and has not been on the opposite side of the protagonist. There is no forced reversal. This is really great! My dream came true.

It's a very good novel. It could use more secondary sexual characteristics.
