>Are there any plans for enchantments that Barbs could use without penalties,

I don't expect that will change too much from the existing system. Self-powered enchantments should work more or less normal for barbarians.

>such as enchantments that could interact with a barbarian's inner fire?

Hopefully none. I personally would throw a hissy fit if there were enchantments that interacted with Inner Fire, unless they were a completely non-magic type of enchantment (is that even possible?).

Which is not to say that they shouldn't exist, only that I would be upset if they did.

Perhaps go on a killing spree?

'Inner-Fire Interaction with Enchantments'

Such things as chakral already exist. I'm not sure what your personal stance on them is, but they do exist. War paint could reasonably be an enchanted item that interacts with inner fire. I don't see why objects that react to inner fire - perhaps not make use of it directly, but react to it - would be impossible. For instance, one might create a chest that could only be opened by an individual with inner fire. That could get real interesting. And who could possibly resist the inner fireball wand?

Magic and Inner Fire are incompatible. Barbarians will be able to use self-activating items with sufficient arcana skill. There may be some additional side effects to using some of the enchantments, we'll just have to see.

Warpaint and Roar masks are mundane. It is the Barbarian that brings out its supernatural capabilities.

>>Skillcheck on MD without a way to train it?

AFAIK, anything that uses a MD skill check would teach MD, right?

If so, wouldn't using self-activating devices teach MD?

Uzmam! The Chairman will NOT be pleased to know you're trying to build outside of approved zones. I'd hate for you to be charged the taxes needed to have this place re-zoned. Head for the manor if you're feeling creative.

Enchanting as a NMU will be an excellent way to learn Arcana. Many of the lower level magical devices will be excellent ways to train Arcana.

I agree - to date we've had dismal, horrible ways for NMUs to learn Arcana. I can't change the past, but going forward this should be much better.

I just hope Barbarians have to suffer to learn Arcana.

Damned hypocrites. GET OFF MY LAWN! :P

Just because it would make him so happy, release a 125 hardness magic metal that requires arcana to work with. :D

How are you going to do that without magic?

I have no idea what is planned that being said I wonder if chakrel will be part of enchanting or any other craft for that matter.

Yeah, chakrel and other barbarian tools are explicitly not magic, and thus will not be in enchanting.
