1st
question: If I want to overcannel to cast Strike o'Death at
level:11,do I need a Wisdom score of 21 or what? 2nd
question:How could I use that Flameblade or Fiery Sword thingi
if concentrating on it is a FULL-ROUND Action?? (Tie off
weave??) 3rd:When a weave indicates that a spec.effect can
be acquired at +1 castING lvl does it mean it's DC changes
accordingly? If Ich habe affinities with all of the weave's
affinities I may treat it as if it's casting lvls were one
level lower but does this affect the minimum Wis/Int
requirement??(10+lvl (-1) for all affinities?
I hope
you got the answers.Please help meee:(...Thou arth my only
hope other WOT-players...

1st
question: Yes, you need a wisdom of 21 to overchannel an 11th
level weave. You do not need a wisdom of 21 to use an 11th
level weave using an angreal. If you were overchanneling and
using a level 2 angreal to cast a 13th level weave, you need a
wisdom of 21 (for the overchanneling, but not for the
angreal)
2nd question: Concentration DC 15, vigorous
movement. I'm not sure if you could tie it off or not.
Personally, I think that if you tie it off, then there's no
reason it shouldn't burn you as well. Also, it's stated in the
books by Rand that the reason that sword is so cool is because
the active flows of Saidin are a part of him, and that is not
the case if it's tied off.
3rd question: I'm not
absolutely sure, so I don't want to say. I'll leave it for
someone who is. In a related question, what about the save
DC?
-------------------- I've learned too many
systems. Sometimes I even forget which system is the REAL
world uses. Uh-oh.

1st
question: Moon-Hawk got this one.
2nd question: Just to
clarify, you can perform 1 vigorous action (move or attack)
per round while you are concentrating on a weave by making a
DC 15 concentration check.
3rd question: Yes, I would
say the DC of a +1 level effect increases the DC, but I don't
know of any specific ruling as such.
OTOH, having all
the affinities would not lower the Wisdom requirement; but a
weave cast with a lower level slot because of having all the
affinities does have the DC of its effective level, not it's
slot level, per the
FAQ.
HTH!

I do not
want to be "irritating" but I'm not sure about thy first
answer.According to the rules overchannelig is similar to
using an angreal.But thanks for the help.

Quote from the FAQ: Q: Can one overchannel to use a
weave over their required ability score (such as an initiate
with an int of 16 casting an 8th-level weave)? What about
angrael and sa'angrael? A: Angrael and linking can
exceed the ability score limit. Overchanneling
cannot.
Example: "Since a Wilder of Initiate
needs an ability score of 10 + weave level to cast that
particular weave would they need a 23 Wis/Int to cast
13th-level Balefire?" "No.
When you use linking or
angreal to increase the level of a weave slot, you can exceed
the maximum weave level imposed by your ability score.
However, this is not true of overchanneling. Thus, to
overchannel to cast balefire at level 10, you'd have to have
in Int of 20 (assuming you're an initiate). But if you use an
8th-level slot and a +2 angreal, you could cast it with an Int
of only 18. To cast it at 13th level, by overchanneling and
using a +2 angreal, you'd have to have an Int of 21 (not
counting the angreal, you're casting at 11th
level)."

Bobbi, Have you seen the FAQ? That is the definitive answer to this
question, in the opinion of the vast majority (and of the
game's creators!).
