Rebecca’s Comments (group member since Nov 01, 2011)

Rebecca’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

Can I get some clarification about the area of attack (from my horse rug).

If I am using magic plus pets, does it spread this attack to all the monsters, or do I have to cast 3 times in the round? I think I need more details on how exactly the area of effect attacks work.

Also, can you use potions on all monsters in one round - like 3 minor poison potions to all, or only one per round?

2/3/25 Updates

Jill's Falconry School
In the shadow of Caravan Hill, where the rolling countryside meets the wild winds of the open skies, lives Jill, wife of Jack, the merchant. Renowned throughout the Novel Kingdom for her unmatched skill in training beasts, Jill has declared that no hero is truly complete without a loyal falcon at their side. "A falcon’s keen eye and swift flight," she proclaims, "can turn the tide of any battle, if only one is wise enough to train it." Thus, she opened a falconry school, offering the art of falconry to worthy adventurers—provided they have their own falcon, a sturdy falconry glove, and the resolve to master the skies.

!!!A hero must have their own falcon and a falconry glove to start falconry training - done 2/3/25!!!

I feel like a lot of romances would work for "make peace" because there is usually a 3rd act break up and then a happy ending.

Love all of these tweaks and modifications!!
