Off topic

@Xavi Thread request. Character: Alexandre

Done.

BTW, I requested that you all can create threads and pin and unpin stuff.

I hope you got delete permissions for yourself as well. If we can create our own threads then you might need to delete the old character threads once we finalize character sheets and they're transferred to new threads

Okay, this is officially an off topic question. :grin:

Has anyone considered combining the Visions and Falling Evil Flaws?

Both are Flaws, that allow the SG to inflict events upon the character. Both can be considered a sign of Divine - or other - attention.

The tricky thing is the timing. Typically a character gets a Vision rather in quiet situations and when the SG has an idea for one. Falling fits occur randomly at specific die rolls during 'events'. Coordinating this in one Flaw ruleswise is certainly possible, but should consider the SG, so that he does not have to provide a meaningful Vision at each bad roll of dice.

As a SG I prefer Visions. Falling Evil and other similar things force the SG to make a grand statement here and now, with no preparations (or very few). The result is that it is a burden for the SG that more often than not he would like to avoid. What you can say in these cases is also way less elaborated than what a prepared Vision can be. This is my impression and that of other SG I have talked to about this kind of stuff at least. Visons is better because it is effectively a story hook that activates when the SG has an idea that he wants to exploit, and is under his or her control.

:thinking: True. I was intrigued by the possibility due to the note that the Greeks and Romans during the Classical period considered Falling Evil a sign of being god-touched.

Oh, I am sure that this can be the case. But no god is coming down to make rules at the table when it happens in a RPG! :laughing:

@Xavi did you finally get the permissions to close and/or delete threads? I ask because the List of Characters thread seems to be closed.

You should be able to post now or in a few minutes. Just got a mail from Amelia (atlas) notifying me of this.

Thread closed? I can post there, but I am the creator so I am unsure of what you see...

Roland is coming along. I dropped Guardian Angel, deciding I wanted him to be less sure of what God wants while still being quite pious. He fought beyond his 40 days in the Albigensian Crusade and became disillusioned with the leadership, finding they didn't seem to truly serve God. Since then he has returned north and become a knight-errant, trying to prove himself and find a cause or a group that God truly supports so he knows he is on the right path despite earning negative reputations in the process. I think that will give him a good link to joining Frere Sulpice.

I have written the early ives of Honorine and Fra Taddeo now.

I should think so. Roland is more Pious than FrĂšre Sulpice!

I began imagining his Guardian Angel and Pahalia discussing and comparing their respective protégés, their merits and flaws over a cuppa ...

I figure that Frere Sulpice has genuine Divine power granted to him would be a sign beyond the monastic vows, etc. that Roland would accept without question. And Roland's current knight-errant status fits the lifestyle he needs to travel about with Frere Sulpice.

I'm glad people are really liking Roland. He's nearly done. I wanted him a bit over 20 years old, but not a lot. I still need to put some more points into Area Lore and a few other spots. Area lore will probably take a little bit of research.

@Xavi , can I start up a new thread for Sophie? All the comments in the current thread are based off of the prior Summoner design. And if I start the thread myself, the character sheet can be the very first post. I don't know if you'll be able to delete the old Sophie thread once I've ported things over, but at very least it will disappear way down in the list of threads over time. I've fine-tuned her a little bit, and I think I'm done with the mechanics now.

Notes for other players on Sophie: What she can primarily do magically is travel, buffing, warding, and healing. Her magic is very slow (commonly taking about half a dozen rounds if it's not a ritual taking longer), but that's not so important for what her magic focuses on. She's pretty limited on the magnitude of her effects unless you're singing when she casts on you; Sympathy Traits are the real limiting factor, rather than scores in the Supernatural Abilities, for the most part. She has no Magic Resistance, though, since she's not Gifted.

You can certainly start a thread yourself for the character. No need to ask permission for such things, guys :slight_smile: I will try to clean up some stuff in then forum this week.

Thanks. I just didn't want to have a second thread on the same thing going without a heads up for you.

@Xavi You can delete the Merinitae Exsules thread now if you wish.

Waiting for @Callen and @darkwing and we can launch the story and start building from there :slight_smile:

Unfortunately you got more powers, but I did not :frowning: I will contact emilia again about that.
