Agreed; as I mentioned, I do this on figure bases. The issue comes under Chirine's First Law Of Miniatures (which I should have spelled out, earlier):

"No matter how good the paint job on the figure, or how good the detail, there will always be somebody there to drop the thing on the floor for you."

Hence my worries about durability.

That was really handy, and now I'm slowly digesting the S&G1 contents.

And there you go - yet another reason why "Bethorm" is a handy book!

In game terms, I had been wondering. Your answer clears things up. I will delve deeper into my archives for the needed lists, etc. I will hound you as questions arise good Sir.

As always, you're very welcome; I just thought that you should get the information straight from Phil. We very rarely dealt with the gods in the campaign; we spent a lot more time fooling around with the various greater and lesser 'demons', as we had a meddlesome Livyani wizard (Eyloa) around a lot in the beginning...

My pet peeve is people who tap the minis on the head and pick them up for emphasis...or something.

Yeah, I hoped it would be back when joining the Kickstarter, and wasn't disappointed!

The worst is when people pick up two figures and wiggle them between their fingers to make them "fight".

Ooh. Or clash their weapons together.

Thanks

Eyloa wasn't so much troublesome as meddling in things he really should not have been. Mike Callahagn got him up to a pretty high level indeed, but never know when to let well enough along - which could be said of lots of powerful PCs, I suppose.

Last time I hard, he was still 'at home', doing his arcane researches and dipping his fingers in other people's pies. I'm on the opposite side (more or less) of the planet from him, and I like it that way...

Or the 'helpful fan' who, at an Origins demo game, helped pick up afterwards and dropped a box of figures - Gronan's old oufit, the Legion of Serqu, Sword of the Empire - managing to get all eighty figures of heavy infantry onto the concrete floor. I salvaged about thirty.

Or the guy at a game who kept picking up bunches of figures like they were grapes by grabbing the pikes and spears, and not even keeping them over the table...

And people wonder why I'm not all that keen on open games, any more...
