Fantasy Aether: The Age of Light OOC [being rebooted]

also we might potentially do something where Mages can't use enchanted weapons.

It's like putting two magnet polar ends together. Natural mana just rejects it.

(That's not a confirmation lol)

Well yeah of course. If you stood in front of him and announced you were going to shoot him.

You could be a top-tier God level Mage and still get shanked in the back.

Quite true, quite true!

I was thinking of something along those lines as well, magic plus enchantments is BS OP xD

Anti mage enchantments?

 

[The_Omega_Effect]

No bother so, although Dominicanes is outside at the moment with Sixtus and Aurora; I can bring him inside with Aurora, with Sixtus being sent on his way to prepare for the ceremony.

Thats alright. Ill just have Andwyn stroll outside. He really has no reason to stay inside the church anymore.

 

[Larry]

Okie dokie, I might have Dominicanes debate Aurora and Andwyn can stroll outside and talk to them.

Anti mage enchantments?

Seems like something that would exist if Avari is cool with it, would give mages something to actually worry about

 

[Larry]

Keidivh , Something like an inverse relationship between the two.

Aye, that is something that could make sense for keeping enchanted equipment out of a mages hands, but I think what Omega means is an enchantment specifically designed to be anti-magic, such as weakening a mages abilities, draining their mana, etc.

 

[Larry]

Aye, I get ya, although anti-mage weapons could draw their unique enchantments from a different source of magic than a typical mage does.

It will be unlikely. We'll see!

True, I guess that would go into how enchanted weapons were created in the first place. Granted its all per Avari's approval either way

 

[Larry]

Absolutely.

 

[Keidivh]

It will be unlikely. We'll see!

haha, like I said, per your approval! Though it would give our mages something to have to overcome or workaround, as our charries have to do around them, could be interesting =)

Mages will be dealing with a whole other nightmare, don't worry.

 

[Keidivh]

Mages will be dealing with a whole other nightmare, don't worry.

Oooh, curious!

Still, just think about it, they don't have to be incredibly powerful anti-magic stuff, just enough so our charries can survive them xP

Cute just consider it

i'm glad the website doesn't keep track of how many times you edit a post lol. i'm constantly finding stuff i wanna change or add. luckily it'll immediately stop whenever someone else post after me.

Oh god, I know exactly what you mean. I've edited my post at least a dozen times by now.

If I were Dain and I wanted to send a message to Markku in retaliation for his attack on my employees, knowing how OP mages are, I would perhaps want to find a more sneaky, roundabout way to do it than sending someone physical like Belegor after him directly.

For example, no matter how powerful a mage, he's vulnerable if he's not casting his magic and doesn't know he's in danger. I would want to make clear to him exactly how vulnerable he actually is. So, maybe a crossbow bolt from a concealed sniper in the middle of a crowded street (or wedding) that just barely misses his head with a simple message attached to it (don't fuck with me, man, don't do it, love the pickpocket kids' boss xoxo--or something like that) would be something he wouldn't be able to counteract with his lightning bolts because, if done right, he wouldn't know who fired the crossbow bolt or from where it came. He could fry the entire crowd with his magic, but, well, that would likely cause more problems than it would solve for him. The only information he would gain is, my enemy knows who I am, they have access to me, and they can kill me before I know I need to use my lightning. Message sent.

Or you can go the Godfather route and leave a nice horse's head underneath his bedsheets for him to wake up to. Can't beat the classics.

Well, the horses head was put under that guys sheet because said guy didn't care about dying. What he did care about was said horse whose head he ended up in bed with.

(At least I think that's how it went. Been ages since I last watched The Godfather)

But I see where you're going with that. I was only offering it as a way to have my character interact with Belegor. Of course, there's bound to be more than just Markku to deal with, what with the influx of people into the city for the wedding, so Dain'll probably still be interested in hiring the dwarf. Besides, dwarves are always useful.

How exactly an encounter between your characters or your characters' lackeys would work out is up to you guys to decide, but I feel the need to point out that if good day vision was the only requirement to avoid being shot by a hiding sniper, many fewer people would ever die that way.

In a crowded setting where people are everywhere and there's a lot of potential cover, I have trouble believing he would be able to pinpoint the sniper immediately after the bolt missed him, no matter how good his vision was. On top of being momentarily distracted by nearly having your head taken off, it'd be like playing where's Waldo, except you don't know what Waldo looks like, Waldo is probably going to stand behind cover so he's out of your line of sight altogether if he's not firing his bow, and Waldo has a crossbow trained on you and can kill you at his leisure while you're not looking in his direction.

This also assumes the sniper's intent is merely to scare Markku; if he wanted to outright kill him, well, it wouldn't matter if Markku could see him if he weren't looking in the right direction before he got shot. He'd be dead before he even knew what was happening, assuming our sniper had a clean shot.

And even if we assume he does get lucky enough to spot the guy who shot at him before said guy disappears back into the crowd, what will he do about it? Shoot a lightning bolt at him in broad daylight where his target is surrounded by innocent bystanders? How could he avoid killing anyone but his target if said target were dwelling among closely packed citizens? Lightning doesn't discriminate; I have trouble believing no one would get caught in that crossfire, and if he did kill innocent civilians by mistake, or even risk the possibility, that'd bring the Church down on him pretty quickly, I'd imagine.

But again, you guys can decide how this works. I'm just making suggestions.

So you interested in working for the Spiders? It pays well

I like that idea. Sounds pretty cool

 

[Larry]

I know, stupid spelling mistakes!

 

[Larry]

Hey Avari , are Clerics celibate?

 

[Avari]

Hey Avari , are Clerics celibate?

No, there's no rules about that.

 

[Larry]

Ah, cool, just need to be sure, you never know what might happen!

 

[Keidivh]

No, there's no rules about that.

Hmm, on that subject, since there are no half dwarfs, does that mean Dwarves are unable to have relation with other races? Or that if they do the child is simply 100% a certain race?

They just can't have kids.
