Lords of Creation 16 (OOC)

[Celadon's Penultimate]

On the bright side, I've identified my Eight-Virtue Virgins, the sister-equivalents of the Seven-Sin Sisters.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

Actually, you know what, better idea.

Mik, at the end of the first age I left a complete physical copy of the Babysitter basically laying in your living room. Kind of got lost in the shuffle. I don't know what you could make from that, but by all means go crazy.

[Philote]

I have quite a bit of final projects to work on for school lately. I'll try to get to doing profiles as quickly as I can, but I might just have to make a few at a time whenever I use something in the story.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 UGH! My computer keeps shutting off Firefox out of nowhere!

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 So, since I'm working on the profiles offline now, a quick question, Zale.

The 6 points allotted to the deities' Tools of Office...those can actually go toward bestowing abilities rather than skills, right? Or do they go toward more skills for the deity?

[Zaleramancer]

I accept rule tweaks or similar sometimes.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 Yes, but I want to know what the rules say? I'm kind of not in the mood to bend or twist or get around the rules. I feel kinda dumb not knowing what the rules were intended to be.

Were those points intended for the Tool of Office to bestow a supernatural ability, or to bestow a new skill (or enhancement of a previous skill)?

[Marvelous Miscreant]

I think I shall make some off hand references to sickness during the next age. Just a thought.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 Why's that?

[Marvelous Miscreant]

because it has been neglected for the most part thus far.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 Sickness has been neglected?

Mostly, we've talked about the dealings of deities. I never really saw the need.

Though, I suppose it would be more realistic to mention sickness here, making deities angry to call forth a plague there, etc...

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Yes...that was my point.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 Oh, heck yes. That I can do.

All I need is some folks not to make proper sacrifices to me, or not to sacrifice at all. Or to blaspheme some deity's name. Or to commit some other crime, like killing people, or defiling some sacred spot. Indeed. That should be fun!

[Marvelous Miscreant]

I was prepared to take a subtler approach.

[Zaleramancer]

I think it's easy to understand why every pantheon has it's bad eggs.

They can do all the things the better halves want to, but can't.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 Which is why narrating Khadai, Jissei and the Seven-Sin Sisters' clash with Jassi and the Eight-Virtue Virgins will be so fun for me.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 Some subtle. Some, not so much.

For at least as long as Uburra-Namall and Crav are a thing, I plan on Uburra-Namall being a mix of Demeter, Hera and Aphrodite in her attitude. And hopefully, her and Crav's kids, and the Eight-Virtue Virgins will bring a pleasant new element to the story, as well.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Yes, but I was referring to my characters...

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 In what capacity?

Crav inflicting punishment somehow? What would cause it?

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Oh no no no no....Like I said, I was merely going to reference sickness, not cause it.
