Lords Of Creation 14 (OCC)

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Oh, then be my guest.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Gasp! Is it finally time for the moon? Or do we still have one more thing to do?

[Philote]

Jester wanted to bring something up I think, and Vault wanted to give out thanks to certain members but that might happen after the moon since I'm sure he will want to include Crav.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Damn, so close......

[Mik_Hael]

screw what I wanted to do.

[Zaleramancer]

Because?

[Philote]

So, Moon time? Then we should be done with the meeting right?

[Marvelous Miscreant]

THEN LET"S GET ORBITAL!

[Zaleramancer]

I'll try to post via phone then.

/Has to help someone with Astronomy homework.

[Philote]

Good Luck

@Marv: Go for it

[Philote]

Moon time?

I want to start the Second Age

[Marvelous Miscreant]

I know I know, but my prepared post got lost and I'm retyping it. Also, I'm supposed to be socializing at my family's super bowl party. Bear with me.

[Philote]

Alright

We probably have to deal with rules first before the Second Age anyways, but I just want to start it already.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

Sorry for dragging a bit. I know this has to be frustrating for you.

And it's not just the rules, we have to work out the changes that appear in the world over the, what did we decide, 400 year gap.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Done...BEHOLD THE GLORY THAT MUST BE EXPRESSED IN ALL CAPS!

I'll be honest, a lot of my original post was lost, but I think I salvaged the good bits...

[Philote]

Yeah, I'm looking forward to the second age but I realize that all the stuff we need to do before then is important. We've been making good pace recently anyways.

@Marv: Nice post

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Now everyone can get in last words and such while we discuss the new age.

[Philote]

Guess we should get started talking about rules again.

I realize that there are several issues with this prototype plan but I feel it is at least a good starting place to build on:

Phi wrote

Philote's Proposed Prototype rules: (Bare Minimum)

Types of Spirits:
Pantheon Leader – The old Over Spirits, most likely each member gets one.
Independent Spirit - Nearly identical to the Pantheon Leaders, except they do not create a Pantheon to serve along side them.
Major Aspects - The second tier of Spirits created by Pantheon Leaders.

Stats - We need simple way to determine amount of points to spend for either of the two tiers of Spirits.
Power
Precision
Perception
Presence

Artifacts: Each spirit has a Tool of Office which is an upper tier Artifact, then can have other second tier Artifacts that can be used one at a time with the Tool of Office.

Skills - Each Spirit gets Action Skills which would be used once per turn and Utility skills which would be passive.

Inherent Powers:
Create life
Avatar
Hero

Action: 12 total, 1 per day, 4 cost all save Miracle/Smite
Alter Nature – Terrain/Weather
Life – Mythos, Race, Servitor
Religious Order
Artifact
Gain Domain
Create Plane
Raise Major Aspect

Miracle/Smite – cost dependent on power/scale

It covers each of the main aspects I believe that need rules applied to them.

Miracle / Smite need to be updated so that they are balanced and don't need to be judged in power each time they are used.

For Artifacts we only need the Tool of Office part since I guess we are getting rid of all others.

Skills: I believe having one very broad action skill and a couple specific utility skills will work best but we still need to work it out.

Aspects: The only rank that mattered in the first age was the Over-Spirits so I think we can simplify things (Would make balancing much either) by cutting out some useless ranks.

Stats: We need a number for the amount of points.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

In all honesty I think I'd rather let You, Zale, GV and Dryad ( and Wulf if he gets back in time) handle the rules and such since I just have no skill in working that sort of thing out.

Also, I;d like to just quickly ask if y'all thought the animation for the moon added to the post or not. I;d like to know in case I plan on doing more like it in the future for this RP.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

I liked it.
