You rock. Cheers.

<<Did it change any?>>

Not really. Just decided to get it knocked out :).

thank you from the bottom of my cup o' ale......hiccup....

Can clerics use TDPs to learn it permanently?

Hey Valdrik, is there a point in casting the spell at extra mana?

<<Hey Valdrik, is there a point in casting the spell at extra mana?>>

Hmmm, not really. Here's a counter question -- what do you think the spell should do if you added more mana? Right now extra mana -- you might if you're low enough skill get a smidge more exp for it. It's such an easy spell to cast that you probably wont notice it at your skill levels.


Valdrik

How about at higher mana it creates a round of drinks? One for every member of the caster's group? So everyone can join up, magie can cast a whopping Glythtide's Gift, and everyone gets a drink!

> Hmmm, not really. Here's a counter question -- what do you think the spell should do if you added more mana?

Change what you get! <g> Some of the stuff GG conjures is really vile, other times its great. Would be fun to be able to get some control over the results.

Cast at 4

Get watery ale, rotgut, etc

Cast at 40

Get top quality rum, stout, mead etc

This way clerics who are really good at GG would be in demand to cast it.

I like the idea of kegs and all that. More mana could create a drink for everyone in your group. I really don't think there's a point in putting a lot of work into this spell, since it's mostly meant to be a cantrip anyway. Making it create kegs or drinks for everyone in your group with more mana or more PM would be nice, but there's not much of anywhere this spell could go.

Currently the max prep is 10, which I can snap cast essentially instantly.. more mana won't make it teach. And as Kadosh said, it doesnt teach PM anyway.

I think after 20 mana put into the spell, it should start to rain booze.

20-30 mana will rain booze on your person, giving you unlimited duration of alcoholic delight for the duration of the spell.

30-40 mana will rain booze on your group, making you more popular than you'd ever imagined.

40-50 mana will rain booze on the entire room, enriching everyone's life with the magic of alcohol. And undead and evil creatures are naturally averse to the whimsical magic that is chronic alcoholism, they will bubble and melt as the liquid touches their skin.

60+ mana will cause a torrential downpour of liquid happiness, making you the life of the party, and drowning all gnomes and small familiars in the area.

40+ mana casts can be substitued for naphtha when used with Fire Rain, showering your foes with the alcohol fueled rage that only a Warrior Mage can provide.

I've always wanted to be able to produce the exact drink I wanted, I think that the 'more mana gets you something that's less rotgut' approach could work.. also, if I invoke the scroll that I've been saving since before the preview,...will you take it away again??? I don't want to have to spend more on a spell i'm just going to lose anyway...

Added mana could increase the potency of the drinks. Maybe at 20-30 mana the drinks could actually have greater ingame effects, like a little random wobbling in a direction, inability to walk in straight lines, difficulty standing up, or constantly listing left or right? Accidental belching and glassy eyed looks?

Sure, reduce the harness requirement. This is an RP spell and it offers no bonus to any skill or statistic, nor can it deal damage to a PC or creature.

-Statis

Thought it was only TDPs, not TDPs and a spell slot.

And, I thought a GM said it doesn't teach anything......why have a high harness req if it don't teach diddly?

Am I the only one that read this post? ..

<<The Harness req for GG changed because I modified how the req was calc'ed on a code level. I'm looking for ways to address it.

Off a reaver I found a scroll, and it reads:

The yellowed scroll contains a complete description of the Glythtide's Gift spell.

"The Glythtide's Gift spell provides refreshment for the parched, a bit of liquid courage to the cowardly, a drop of sunshine to warm chilly bones, a most efficacious draught to wet the whistles of Bards and Barbarians, chieftains and cutpurses, lords and layabouts, Gnomes and Gor'Togs."
You can choose to INVOKE this scroll to memorize Glythtide's Gift temporarily, or STUDY the scroll to permanently memorize it.
Roundtime: 15 sec.


What exactly does this spell do? I noticed it under cleric spells, but it's acquired by scroll? Is it worth memorizing permanently?

So then I take it it would be a waste of a spell slot to learn. Sounds like a mere fluffy spell with no real benefits to anyone.

> Ding ding ding.

Hehe

It's a waste of a spell slot now, but I'm 102nd circle with 6 free spell slots after learning it :/

It's my favorite spell to temporarily memorize, since I don't really care if I loose it to death/using to much mana/etc.
