| Welcome to Imythess, the border between dreams and reality. We hope you enjoy your visit. Imythess is a creative writing board where you narrate the story of a character in the medieval land of Imythess, on the planet Chaon. Each topic is an opportunity for your character to interact with the world and its peoples by cooperatively writing pieces of a story with other members, one post at a time. We call this role-playing, because you assume the identity of your character as if it were your own. In order to play, you must register an account for each character you would like to write about, and begin their tale by filling out their basic profile information: Race (human, elf, demon, etc.), class (warrior, mage, etc.), physical appearance, and any other personal details you would like to describe. You are also encouraged to come up with some background history information for what your character's life has been like up to the point at which their story in Imythess begins. There is no approval process or application required to join, so long as you follow the rules then you are free to write whatever character details you choose. Registration is simple, fast, and completely free. Create a character now! If you're already a member, you can log into your account below: |

Can a character with Silent Spell activate a command-activated weapon enchantment by will rather than by command? Also, would Frost and Wounding cancel one another out? Frost freezes wounds but Wounding ensures that they keep bleeding. Edited by Nina, Mon Jun 24, 2013 10:30 pm.

For the first question, I'd vote yes. Silent spell suggests that will alone is sufficient for spellcasting, so that should extend to enchantments. Not sure about the second one, though. |

Frost and Wounding would semi-cancel. Cold makes blood vessels constrict, so less blood can flow through them. If it actually freezes skin then the blood flow would stop entirely. The same thing would happen with Burning or Brilliant Energy... Wounding doesn't stack well for a reason. EDIT: And Shan is right, enchantments can be activated silently with Silent Spell.

Along the same lines: Is silent spell required to silently activate enchantments, or can enchantments be activated silently, regardless of owned feats?

I am of the opinion that if the item calls for a command word (like Returning enchantment), then you would need the Silent Spell feat. If, however, there is no noted required vocal component, then it can be activated silently. Any other staffy opinions, since I r newb? |

All enchantments stack, just some don't stack well. I see no reason why Harden and Deflect wouldn't stack. Vander is right, Silent Spell is only needed for enchantments with a stated vocal component (those that say a command word is used or something similar). Edited by Seele, Mon Jul 1, 2013 9:48 pm.
