Habololy Forum

I am intrigued by this skill listed in the chronomancy section (p46) of the Magic of Habololy book.

*Knowlede (Future History) (Int; Yes; No)
You are able to remember facts about the future from when you have looked into it.
Check: A successful check allows you to give an appropriate answer to a question involving the future.*

How exactly is this skill intended to work? Is it a substitute for spells like augury and divination? Or is it tied specifically to chronomancy spells (and therefore useless without those spells)?

According to the *yes* next to the skill name it can be used untrained, so anyone can make a check.

Feels like the skill description needs some more detail.

Please move to an appropriate topic in “House Rules” - subject didn’t fit in any of the existing and I can’t create a new one.

Question: Can you use the “duplicate spell” function of Miracle to replicate a spell with metamagic?

I see 3 possible answers:

• Yes, as long as the effective post-meta spell level is less than or equal to the spell level Miracle cap
• Yes; following the rules as written, metamagic does not change the spell’s level (e.g., a maximized fireball is still a 3rd level spell even though it uses a 6th level slot)
• No, because Miracle doesn’t mention metamagic

I like #1.

So I was wondering if skill checks auto-succeed on a natural 20?

I scoured the PHB, and from what I can tell, the answer is "no." The only sections where auto-success on a 20 and auto-failure on a 1 are specifically addressed are in the attack roll and saving throw sections.

So does that mean if it's not specifically called out, it doesn't apply? Means that skill checks, caster level checks, dispel checks, grapple checks, trip attempts, etc. do not auto-succeed or auto-fail.

I guess that makes sense. You can't try to jump across the ocean and succeed 5% of the time. A 1st level caster can't overcome the SR of a great wyrm. A greater dispel magic will always dispel a 1st level caster.

Is that how we play it?

In light of recent events, Natsu needs to generate some positive buzz in Port Talp about his business to offset any negative publicity from the wrongful arrest.

I want to hire a small army of bards to go out into the Cantons and share my story with the general population - an underdog story of an innovative, small business owner seeking to make a difference in people's everyday lives by taking on the oppressive, villainous behemoth of a magic item empire that is looking to stifle change so it can continue to rule from a throne of gold. I want everyone to know about my wrongful arrest, the plot to manipulate the constables, the falsified evidence, and the dismissal of the charges. I want people to tell my story in bars and sing it from the street corners.

I need the equivalent of social media.

I would like to contract 1 bard per Canton for 2 weeks to spread the message in their respective area. I'm think of budgeting a total of 5,000 gc for this. That's 100 gc/wk ea; is that a reasonable amount?

I could use some help staffing up with reliable talent, so I'll offer my fellow guild members a finder's fee of 50 gc for each successful employee referral until I hit my quota.

I will not go quietly into the night.

Some domain powers give the ability to turn or command things such as Air, Earth, Fire, Water, Plant. The Air Domain power reads:

"Turn or destroy earth creatures as a good cleric turns undead. Rebuke, command, or bolster air creatures as an evil cleric rebukes undead. Use these abilities a total number of times per day equal to 3 + your Charisma modifier."

So the question I have is this: does this domain power count towards fueling divine feats, such as "divine might," that typically require the ability to turn or rebuke undead?

Finn has the ability to turn undead (3+Cha mod times/day) as a cleric of Habastly, and to command plants (3+Cha mod times/day) from the Plant domain. Could either pool be used to power divine feats (if he had them)?
