A note about Reset

[BeccaH]

Hi Everyone!

It's been brought to my attention that there might be some confusion about reset.

Reset is between 6 and 8PM Saturdays. By 8PM you MUST change out your tags to the second day tags. Any tags you have left over MUST be thrown away. You can not use spells you memorized for Day one after 8PM Saturday.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!

So if you are working for the game during reset and casting formal during that time, what time does the formal time time stop for the first day and start for the second day?  For example, you start casting formal at 5:00 on Saturday afternoon and continue until 9:00 on Saturday evening, where do you stop and start?

I have one question about reset and it's not really a big thing.

When you get your spell tags,  a green set and a yellow/brown/whatever color.....does it matter which day you use a particular color, just as long as it's dated for the day in use?

[Chandella/Nancy]

It is my understanding that brown is Friday and green starts on Saturday.  I remeber it as B (brown) before G (green).

There's not a "day" for formal.  Unlike having daily spell memorization, formal is not based on a limit per day, so your character can cast it any time during an event as long as you (the player) are onsite, awake, and either RPing the casting or working for the game.

Also a quick note about production and someone correct me if I am wrong. Production both alchemical and poisons are good fro a year after you make them. So as long as you have labeled phys reps and tags you can use what you have left from the previous day. Again if I am incorrect please someone inform me:)

There still has to be a time when the brown tags turn to green tages and my question is when is that time?  Would the brown tags start at 6:00 p, on Saturday?  If not, when?

[Chris Lynch]

Brown/tan tags are Day one (Friday night - Reset at 6-8pm Saturday) and the Green are for Day Two (from 6-8pm Saturday - Sunday).

Under most formal rituals, this won't matter; however for several it will matter (specifically making one-shots or per-event items). That said, even with those 2 rituals it will be a rare occurrence that you are in the middle of a ritual during the casting of one of these. Having said all that, there is no hard and fast rule in the player's handbook regarding what to do in this situation. I'll attempt to break it down below:

Enchant/Expand Ritual, started prior to 8pm Saturday evening and finishing prior to 8pm Saturday evening -- you need to use spells from your first day (brown) tags.
Enchant/Expand Ritual, started after 8pm Saturday evening and finishing (obviously) after 8pm Saturday evening -- you need to use spells from your second day (green) tags.
Enchant/Expand Ritual, started prior to 8pm Saturday evening and finishing AFTER 8pm Saturday evening -- there is no clear ruling on this in the rulebook.

The last example will happen very infrequently, and there is no clear ruling. Personally, I think that the formal caster needs to pay attention to the time and realize that they don't have enough time to finish a specific enchant/expand prior to their spells for the first day "expiring"; especially since a caster CAN reset as early as 6pm and start using those spells to fuel their enchant/expand rituals.

thank you guys and gals, I will remember the color scheme from now on. 

[BeccaH]

If an enchant ritual ends after the (8PM) spell reset, you don't have that spell in memory, so the ritual would automatically fail.

[Deb_Carson]

All production (alchemy, poisons, potions and battle scrolls) are good for one year from month of creation. 

[BeccaH]

Nancy, reset is between 6-8PM. YOU can choose to reset your tags at any time between 6-8PM, as long as it is done by 8PM. As soon as you reset tags, The brown tags go away, the green tags stay. You can't use both sets of tags  at any time.

Does that make sense?

[Chandella/Nancy]

Thank you, Becca.  It was not really the answer I needed but Mike answered it for me in a PM.
