I can't beleive it! We have, HERE AND NOW, the New Dark Lord on High and
all that popped out was some lame greeting and a question on
mailers?!!???!! ::::)) (tm)

HORRAY! MAKE A PARTY! CHEER UP, GUYS!

Hi FASAMike!

Finally we can ask the darkest questions, our troublesome moment we can
share, sure at heart that our voices will be listened... so someone last
week was asking for a list of questions... good thing, but I know that this
list will be useless, 'cause the Question is one only.

Yes, many doubts crowd what remains of our brains, but if you all dig deep,
to the very core of your mind, you will see the one and only Question.








Can you ground through quickenings?

Can you ground through sustained spells?

Can you ground through anchored spells?

Anchored spells is an already-answered question in GrimII - yes.

Quickened & Sustained are GM-dependent and flame-begging topics.

FASAMike,

Didn't I tell you you'd be on the list only three days before someone
asked about grounding through quickenings? Or was that Fro I said
this to?

Well, why not ask him? Though Dowd did make a comment at a Con, none of
the following sourcebooks (including Awakenings!!) mentioned it afterwards.

I *REALLY* expected Awakenings to have some clarifications about
Grounding, particuarly in light of Tom Dowd's comments about it.

*sigh* But since none were forthcoming... I figured it was a purposely
ignored topic, leaving it in the hands of the GMs.




If there's an Official FASA Position, I'm sure we'd all love to know it....

We've been having that discussion for as long as I can remember, so I'm
surprised it's taken anyone so long to ask this, really... Although
perhaps the previous ruling that got posted here (the "I have the grail!"
post) may have influenced the delay here :)

Well, I *couldn't* hide there any more. Do you guys have
any idea what Gurth keeps under his stairs? ;)
