Frequently Asked Questions

Are Force Domes spheres or hemispheres?

GURPS Frequently Asked Questions: Magic
Force Domes are really spheres of magical energy, with the top hemisphere showing and the bottom hemisphere engulfing mass as a magical (not physical) "anchor". E.g., a 3-hex Force Dome radiates 2 hexes out from the center hex, and is 5 yards (15') in diameter. It must be cast on a patch of ground at least 15' across, and appears to be a "dome" 7.5' high in its center. The other hemisphere is under the ground, full of dirt, stone, or other solid junk.

Why hemispheres? Why not complete spheres?

Electrotap
The first generations of these speakers were designed as full spheres (see A Brief History of the Hemispheres). In 2001, we thought there might be an advantage to building a speaker that could sit flat on the floor or flat against a wall. If we wanted a full sphere, we reasoned, we could simply fasten two halves together. Once we began using the Hemispheres, however, we discovered that one cabinet was sufficient to produce the point-source effect.

With all of that, how can I use Force Domes offensively?

GURPS Frequently Asked Questions: Magic
Force Dome is intended to be a defense for the caster and his companions, not a prison for the caster's enemies. The spell cannot be evaded or resisted; therefore, allowing mages to trap people in Force Domes to incinerate them, depressurize them, etc. would be abusive, and not in the spirit of the spell. Still, they can pretty useful for capturing people, especially if you use them for traps in combination with spells not based on physical effects, like Sleep, Flesh to Stone, etc.

Why are spheres so expensive?

TOSOTS - Frequently Asked Questions
The price difference is due to availability of material, size of rough material needed to carve the sphere, and quality. Does the material occur in large enough quantities to carve? Is the material stable? All of these questions are a factor in the price of a sphere. For quartz, clarity is also a consideration. The aesthetics and quality of the sphere will also come into play in pricing a sphere. It takes a very large piece of rough material to make a 2" (50mm) in diameter sphere.

Can domes be built anywhere?

Frequently Asked Questions
There are no zoning codes that restrict Natural Spaces domes, and our domes exceed all energy codes. You may be restricted on height as some codes have a maximum height of 30' to 35'. Most of our domes are less than 30' high but the code height is measured from the average grade line. It's only when you have a developer who is a builder, and they want you to build their house, they then put restrictions on their lots - "no log homes, no earth homes, no domes, no imagination".

why are domes so strong?

Geo-dome FAQs
The nature of the spherical design provides strength because all the points of the structure share the stress evenly. The dome shape allows environmental stresses such as movement from an earthquake or wind or stress from snow loading to be evenly distributed throughout the structure. The geometry of the triangle offers additional strength to the dome shape.. Geodesic domes have been used successfully for Antarctica radar towers with up to 200mph winds for over 25 years.

What was K Force?

Frequently Asked Questions, 251 to 300
Korean Force or K-Force. With the commitment of Australian forces to the Korean War, the Australian government called for 1,000 men to enlist in the army for three years, with one year of overseas service in Korea. (Normal enlistment time at that stage was for 6 years but this was a deterrent to many WW2 veterans who wanted/needed a shorter term).

FAQ
Isaac Newton defined force as a push or pull that when applied to a mass causes the object to accelerate. The formula force = mass ? acceleration or F = m a is known as Newton’s Second Law of Motion. If the mass of an object is held constant, the larger the force that is applied, the greater the acceleration. Take, for example, a compact car that has a small engine that can exert only a small force. That small force allows for only a small rate of acceleration.

What's the deal with glowing spheres and magic springs?

advguild wiki / FAQ 6 point 1
Spheres and springs are attached to encounter areas. You will not find them all the time even if you go to the same area the following turn. The rumor is that they are found the same way traps are found, just a little harder. I am not sure if higher intrigue guides you towards rooms with spheres and springs. You can gain or lose stats, D/R, DPB, KP, or destiny points off of spheres and springs. In anti-magic rooms, there are varying chances for spells to fail.
