  • [GnollHack] Bless spell material components?

    From SushiMartyr@21:1/5 to All on Wed Jun 14 16:05:06 2023
    Hello, I have a question for fellow GnollHack players (as far as I’m aware, GnollHack is the only variant to use this spell system). I’m sorry if this is an inappropriate place to ask; I’m not sure how the community works— if this query should be
    directed elsewhere, please let me know for next time.

    But if I am indeed in the right place: what material components are required for the Bless spell? (Context if needed: I am playing an 8-Intelligence Monk who has found a robe of starry wisdom and quite a few spellbooks, including Bless. Yes, holy water
    exists, and will probably be how I bless Bless in the first place should I decide to go that route, but it would be nice to know how viable the other options are.) Thanks for your time. :)

    If you have learnt the spell, you can use the View Spell command to see its material components. It's Alt-z in keyboard using versions. On mobile, its in more commands.

    Thanks for replying. I have not yet learnt the spell; it’s more that I’m wondering whether it’s worth learning it (via blessing the spellbook) based on how difficult the material components are to acquire. I haven’t been playing that long, but
    some spells seem to require less common components than others.

    Bless
    Level 5 clerical spell

    Attributes: Wisdom
    Success chance: 0% (base -50%)
    Mana cost: 40.0
    Casting time: 1 round
    Cooldown: None
    Targeting: None
    Train chance: 100%
    Components: Verbal, Material
    Material components - 2 castings:
    1 - a noncursed opal
    2 - a noncursed holy symbol as a catalyst
    Description:
    Blesses on object

    It's a bit expensive to mix, with two castings from an opal.
