General Discussion If you have anything off topic to say or you are unsure where to post, this is the place to do so.


Welcome to the Layonara forums!

Layonara is so much more than a game. We started off as a tabletop Dungeons and Dragons campaign more than a decade ago. Since then we have developed into a fantasy world with as much compelling and engrossing detail as you will find anywhere.

Our current showcase is a Neverwinter Nights version of Layonara, where our world comes to life in a finely polished persistent world which you can play free of charge. These forums are set up to support and accentuate our player's experiences, but it goes far beyond that.

After years of passionate effort, our world is so well developed, so detailed, so refined that any of the handbooks, maps, historical accounts, legends, descriptions of artifacts, creature reports, character biographies, short stories, novels, movies and original art which populate these forums can surely serve as resources or inspiration for your own fantasy endeavors, whatever they may be. And our world is endlessly evolving, so resources are frequently added and updated.

There are also years of sage advice and commentary on role-playing, gaming and online community development stored in these forums. If camaraderie is what you seek, we offer that too. Our community is as active and supportive as you're likely to find on the internet. In short, these forums are a resource for you to use for whatever purpose or project brought you here.

We're confident that you will find what you are looking for, and likely, substantially more.

Please be our guest and browse around the forums which are available to you. As you do, keep in mind that you are sampling only a portion of what Layonara has to offer. Membership in our community is free, and allows you to establish a Layonara identity to pose your questions and share your thoughts on the forums. When you join you'll also be able to communicate privately to other members (PMs), establish and respond to polls, upload and download content and access many other special features. Registration is fast, simple and absolutely free. So please. join our community today!

Default Epic Spells

Do Epic Spells work normally on Layo? I didn't see anything about them in the handbook, but I was just skimming through.

The Epic spells have not been altered, and the Spell: TimeStop has been removed from the normal 9th list and added to them, available only to Arcane casters.

Looking at the handbook more closely I found this, under the spell component table:

Quote:
Layo Handbook 2nd Ed.

Some epic spells will now feed on the caster's lifeforce as per PnP rules
I'm not very familiar with PnP rules.. what does this mean?

DINGDINGDINGDINGDING!! You win a prize: A ball of goodieness.

Anyway.

Yeah... XP loss. Like with Wish and Miracle. And Teleport.

And old GM of mine used to run with aging instead of XP loss- gave the chars more reason to NOT do it. Much more fun, too.

Yep, in PnP games that is exactly what I would do.. but online it is a different story.

Generally if there is an xp loss, the spell description will detail it. So before taking an epic spell, just read the spell description. We try to update all spell descriptions with layo specific information.
