this is what pisses me off about RPGs

For calculating magicka costs of this spell, the level needs to be converted into a magnitude, see Magnitude to Level Conversion. One implication is that the enemy levels affected by any Command Humanoid spell will be less than the quoted values if your Spell Effectiveness is less than 100%

I can only reply to that by turning myself into a football hooligan and saying: “You what? You what? You what you what you what?”

And this is why I fail at these games. I haven’t a clue what that means, there’s no hints in game as to how to even GET spells, and so far I’ve been surviving with a massive sword (blushes modestly) and a fireball. I’ve found that if you stand far enough away from an enemy and he hasn’t seen you, you can fire fireballs at him until he dies and he just stands still and takes it.

Thanks to Henri, my very dear friend, for remembering what day it was today and giving me a long and chatty phone call. It was much much appreciated.  I admit that I was very low last night and Severus seemed to know and wouldn’t leave me alone, clambered into bed with me and snuggled through the night. Of course, the fact that it was minus four outside MIGHT have something to do with it but I prefer to think he picked up on my low-ness. Bless his furry face.

Dad and I are going out for Christmas dinner, it’s been the first time we’ve thought that “it’s time” to do that – not that I MIND cooking—with all the ready to cook stuff it’s so easy to do, but it’s a bit of a faff and a lot of unnecessary expense—so we are going to the Keswick Hotel so I think it will be fun – there will be other people there and the atmosphere will be jolly. I’m cooking on Boxing Day, and we are having lamb—none of us are mad on turkey anyway. I wanted to get a goose, or pheasant-- but couldn’t find one, I guess one needs to go to a butcher rather than relying on supermarkets.  I will be more organised next year.

Some news!
