8th Ed. Tett'eko and Slann with Lore of Heavens

If I take a Slann with Heavens and Tett'eko, the Slann's Heavens casts also benefit from the Heralder of Cosmic Events ability, right?

 

Yes, but only if you make the roll on the turn in question. Mind you, it is successful on anything but double 1's so the odds are pretty good.

 

so, 2 loremasters with the same lore can both cast the same spell in the same magic phase?

 

... IF casandora rain ...

 

My friend runs 2 loremaster slanns, Tet, and 3 level 2 skink priests, and just tries to spam comets.

 

That's a lot of points to sink into magic!

Surely this list gets killed by fast armies like Ogres or Brets, just run past the comets and charge you ?

 

Yeah, he just runs it for Casual games. But against castled Dwarves, it actually works lol.

 

That would be pretty sweet to watch, getting hit by 4 comets a turn!

 

3 comets, not 4
skinks priest should have only the signature spell, or not? they're not loremasters, so if they have loremasters in the same army, they should know only the signature

 

No. Loremaster is not significant to anyone rolling for spells. The skinks roll for spells as if the Loremasters did not exist.

 

No, 4 comets

Having a loremaster doesn't affect what spells a normal wizard can get, by having three level 2 you can be guaranteed to get the fourth comet

 

oh my god, i didn't know it... and it's great!

 

When you generate spells from the lore lists, they basically pull the spell off the list, so other casters can't use them, from the now depleted list.

Lore masters showed up to the party with their own lists they don't have to share. So, Two loremaster slanns, and tet will all know the entire heavens list. The other skink priests are sharing and fighting over the communal list, and one of them will generate comet if you run 3 level 2 wizards.

Disregard this post, already been said.

 

trouble is dont you have to roll for cosmic event before winds of magic are rolled? if you do and you get it but then only roll snake eyes for winds its wasted

 

The cosmic affects what happens on your magic turn, or the enemys.. If you roll 3+ all lore of heaven spells successfully cast with any doubles, it's cast as irresistible force.. If you roll 2, the enemy get's this benefit.. This has nothing to do with loremaster ability

 

If that is response to forlustria,
What they are trying to say is:

You decide to roll for cosmic events at the start of your magic phase
So you roll and get a 3 and a 5 so it activates
However you then roll a 1 and a 1 for your winds of magic so only have two power dice to cast with so wasting the ability!


However if that isn't what you mean then, ignore me!

 

thats exactly what mean the ability is wasted is you roll poor winds of magic. I suppose if it was the other way round and you rolled after the winds of magic it would be abit OP
