Lords of Creation 15 (OCC)

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

I like the fourth one and the fifth one. The more amusing aspect of the fifth one is that Waverider would still passionately hate Mina.

I need to think of some other than the relationship between Mina and Jhella...

[Marvelous Miscreant]

I'm okay with enacting Von Trapt's affections for Magnas if you are.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Also, quick rough draft of the Labeled map. it's still missing something, but I'm not sure what.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

That's fine with me. I'd been trying to figure out Magnas' personality and I just watched Acchi Kochi. I really liked watching the main character, who was absolutely clueless that he had several girls who liked him, but always said the right thing to make them swoon. I think I'll go with a personality like that for Magnas.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Amazing! It's beautiful.... *Starts crying happily*

[Marvelous Miscreant]

i still think it's missing something. I just can't figure out what.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

A love triangle?

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Huh? Oh no, I meant the map.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Sorry, replying from my email and it doesn't tell me which post you replied to or anyone for that matter.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 Well, I could see some of those happening. Interesting stuff. I'll give them some thought.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Probably some arctic and volcanic regions?

EDIT: Also, I noticed that there's a tiny bit of space between Boquabia, Alabastra and Eternus. I'm thinking of erecting an island there for some of my creatures to come. If not there, perhaps on the island to the east of the main island of Boquabia. Looks like that's nothing but beach right now.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

I was referring to the current map...not the expanded one.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 The current map actually looks okay to me, but what did you have in mind? Something as far as land features are concerned?

[Marvelous Miscreant]

That's just it, I have no idea what's missing. Not a clue....but its something.

[Zaleramancer]

I wouldn't mind some town sprinkled around Hazet's turf.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Zale, look at the First Age page on the wiki and Wulf and I were wondering where the rules on races and mythical creatures were.

[Zaleramancer]

I like the descriptions, though I may tweak it a touch to suit my fickle artistic whims.

Apparently we're using the rules outlined in the text document.


Races


Created, intelligent beings. Often numerous rather than powerful.

Rather than potent Skills, Races possess Abilities.

Unlike Skills, they do not have ranks and must fit a narrow range of possibilities.

They may be...

1) An affinity towards a particular activity, such as Crafting or Fighting.

2) Some sort of internalized magical trick, or ability, such as Night Vision or Water Breathing.

3) Something that could be replaced by an item, such as Hard Skin (Replaceable with armor)


Further or more powerful abilities require a fundamental drawback or flaw within the race.

Most Races have one or two Abilities.

Draemar

Hardened Skin: Draemar have skin like a weak armor.

Seafolk

Water Survival: Seafolk are part fish, and survive easily within most of the ocean. They, however, are unable to survive normally on the surface or the depths of the ocean.

Mythical Beings

Powerful Non-Divinities.

Mythical Beings are powerful, often intelligent creatures. The Expectational (See Above) among them can even challenge Demi-Gods with small hope of success.

They have four skill points and three abilities.

Cecaelia

Water Survival: Cecaelia can easily survive the shallows.

Magic Affinity: Cecaelia are naturally adept at illusion and shape-shifting magics.  

Octo-Body: Cecaelia have translucent skin and octopus tentacles. They may control their skin pigmentation in a way that allows them to camouflage themselves. However, they also lack most of the bone structures common in other races, which causes them to be unable to safely exit water without magical assistance.

Shapechange (Active) (2): A Cecaelia can take the form of any mortal race, gaining their physical traits and abilities and loosing their own. This ability is considered magical and can be countered as such.

Probing Intellect (Passive) (1): Cecaelia may learn any type of magic that can be learned.

Identify (Active) (1): Cecaelia may divine the magical powers of any item, creature or spell.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Ah, sorry, I meant the new, changed rules.

[Zaleramancer]

Oh, and since you asked for input.

Can you swap the Iron Kingdom and Magocracy?

There should be few large cities near the coast of the new Magicracy, but some for the Iron Kingdom.

[Zaleramancer]

We never reached a satisfactory compromise.
