Personally, I'd add something from AD&D, and assume that an Immortal is able to perform a number of parallel tasks proportional to his status -- OD&D-wise, an initiate would be unable to operate as mortal and immortal at the same time, while higher-level immortals would function at a lower rank, i.e., an Eternal with a mortal ID active would function as an Empyreal, and so on. -- Giampaolo Agosta http://digilander.iol.it/agathokles ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 25 Aug 2003 12:25:47 +0200 From: Francesco Defferrari Subject: Re: Hackwurld of Mystaros? ----- Original Message ----- From: "George Hrabovsky" > Actually, I talked to the guy in Milwaukee for the Gamesfest and am thinking > about picking it up. > George Good, I hope that you or someone else of the mystaran community will take the job... If no one can do this alone maybe we could form a team to finish the book ? I mean, we are doing this already with the almanac and, more or less, it works... bye Francesco ------------------------------ End of MYSTARA-L Digest - 24 Aug 2003 to 25 Aug 2003 (#2003-209) ****************************************************************
