@Trash-Mouse Hey Mouse, how do you feel about super hero settings? I know they are sort of done to death these days, but I like them and they fit the modern fantasy genre. I got a couple ideas for it as well.
Hello everyone. I'm thinking of playing the Eotran Monk. I'm gonna prioritize speed and probably going to favor bare handed punches and kicks instead of weapons. Do some grappling maybe.
@Grey Could you elaborate some on how the Eotran are "fishes out of water" outside of their monestary?
@Were you just thinking of pure Purple spells? If so, I think "Prevent Decay" falls more under the restoration umbrella. You could probably make a Purple/Green spell that fit that idea, though.
@Idea Cira's grandfather is a world renowned adventurering wizard that slew an elder dragon, becoming on of the wealthiest and most powerful persons in the land overnight. He then effectively bought his way into becoming the Archmage of the Academy for a period of time, but eventually retired...
@Idea Funny enough, that's the premise in which my character intends to create a philosopher's stone. I won't go into a big long blurb about how alchemy worked back when it was practiced, but it was built on the idea of mixing opposites. If one could mix ever opposite together then they would be...
One more question and one clarification wanted:
- Mages can't use their opposite quiddity, but does that mean they can't cast any spell that includes opposing quiddities? For context, I'm making a counterspell that uses 3 different color quiddities. Yellow, Blue, and Orange currently. Since Blue...
Thanks for the memes and answering Idea, Sunsmiter. So yeah. Researcher is someone that does research. For a company, government agency, university, or whatever. Research Professor is just the sub-category of researcher that works specifically at a university. They often have deals like: we let...
Maybe graduate was the wrong term. She just finished her doctoral/phd or whatever that would be called for wizards and rolled immediately into a position as a research professor (no teaching classes yet).
My gal is gonna be a new graduate as well looking to make her mark and prove certain professors wrong. Fair warning, she a bit of a bitch. I hope you all are going to like what I have planned for her first travelogue. Immediate drama between her and another professor.
Probably not an...
She's an adventurer for sure. Mostly was planning on doing travelogues. Original concept for her was Lara Croft seeking the Philosopher's Stone...but with spells instead of guns.
I'm fine with divine beings being associated with Yellow.
Some more questions.
- Does the order of mana matter? Ex. 1Y/1O vs 1O/1Y
- What is the title of the head position over the academy? Headmaster? Arch-Wizard? Grandmaster Wizard?
- Can there be multiple spells with the same cost? For...
Some follow-up questions about the world. First, I'm assuming this isn't Earth but some generic fantasy world we'll be building collaboratively, right? Second, is there a reason the world is a mystery to the wizard, and why now all of a sudden they've decided to go explore it?
That second one...
After a little more thought, I'm thinking Yellow could be Truth. It would be able to return thing to their proper form (heal, remove curses, repair items, etc.), detect lies and even compel truthfulness in people's words, reveal what is hidden (dispel darkness with light, dispel illusions...
Since Green is primarily concerned with living things, it makes sense that life forces and healing are more under its domain. And the burning power of the sun treads on Red's territory, though perhaps less so. And yellow only having light would make it quite pitiful compared to the other quiddities.
Current idea is an eccentric and prickly young research professor chasing this world's version of the philosopher's stone.
When I think about the kinds of pure yellow spells that Law or Authority would describe, it just boils down to control again.
The character I plan on making doesn't require them to have a certain quiddity, but to avoid doubling up with anyone at the moment I'm gonna go ahead and say I'm going to take Yellow.
Without putting a ton of thought into it, Yellow could be something like order or control. I'm just afraid that...
This sounds really interesting and unique, so I can't pass up the chance to be involved. And the format might fit me having a busy full time job as well.
Reading everyone's quiddity proposals, would Orange be body magic? Like Mashle's muscle magic? Just a funny thought. I'm not actually...
