Players Meeting Proposals
The players meeting is coming up this Saturday,
so it might be in your best interest to know what proposals have
already been submitted. I'll try to impartially cover these as well as I
can. (note, I am only covering what is in the players meeting section
as of the time of writing, which is Tuesday)
Fighter's Stance by James Murphy
The
goal of this proposal seems to be to give fighters a small perk,
similar to ID creature, but distinct from it. It allows a fighter to
call "fighter's stance" and if an EH/MM is nearby, they are able to find
out information about the creature.
Change Dragging by Josh Fitzgerald
The
goal of this proposal also seems to be to give fighters a small perk,
but this time by adding an additional requirement for casters when
dragging. The simple summary of this proposal is that dragging a body
for a caster takes two hands, but for a fighter, it only takes one hand.
Change How Potions Work by Josh Fitzgerald
This
is a small series of changes to Alchemist to slightly narrow the props
and slightly restrict how they are used. While I suggest reading this
one, it has two category of potions, being potions and scrolls. Potions
have to be applied, consumed, or dumped on the ground with one hand
while touching the target to be effected with the other hand. Scrolls
have to be ripped with two hands, and the user must touch the target
immediately afterwards.
Clean-Up Undead Caveat by Danny Lykansion
This
is a change to move most undead related things into the caveat. Due to
this, there are a few changes though, including heal limb not working
on any undead. I highly recomend reading this one on your own, as a
quick summary won't help and there are some subtle changes I may have
missed.
Remove Item Mechanic by Pi Fisher
I'll just use his
rationale for this: "Some fighters already take a few chain links and
connect their armor into one piece. I've seen support casters carry
around chains to do this because it's a mundane way to gain the benefit
of a spell that almost nobody learns. Also, chainmail onesies. While
it looks like this is making a few spells better which seems like an
upgrade for casters, it's actually a way to up-power fighters, because
now your bracers and grieves will be fixed more often than never."
Verbal Component: Clarify written or not by Christopher Donnelly (author of article)
This
is a proposal to clarify if Verbal Components need to be written out or
not. It has both options. If they do need to be written out, this
will allow multiple verbals to be written down (to allow for flavor)
4 Paths of Magic by Andrew Disbrow
This allows a caster to learn 4 paths of magic in exchange for being unable to wield weapons.
Add New Path: Witch by Danny Lykansion
This adds an entire new path of spells to the game.
Witch 2-Resonance allows for regaining 2nd circle spells and lower at the cost of scalping blows.
Witch
3- Empathic Heal Limb is a 3 word heal limb that takes the casters limb
in it's place. It only works on others (effectively)
Witch 4-
Sacrificial Warding - 3 uses, 10 word chant that while chanting and
touching another player, that player has one call of "protection".
Witch
5- Curse allows cursing an object with a wide variety of curses upon a
dead body. Curses also bestow a small benefits on the player effected
by the spell. It can end by the caster ending it, scalping the target,
scalping the caster, or disenchanting the target.
Witch 6- Circle of
Life and death - This allows a circle to be cast that works similar to
group healing, but also works on create lesser undead. In addition, all
dead bodies in the circle can be scalped at the same time.
Witch 7-
Coven - This links three players, one of whom is the caster, so they are
all under protect the soul, if one is scalped, the others are scalped,
and if they get too far away from each other, they also end up scalped.
The spells call the soul, raise dead, combat raise dead and potion of
raise dead effect all of them, and any one of them can declare
themselves dead to raise another as per a ranged combat raise dead.
Also, commune with spirit is available at 3rd circle, and create poison is available at 6th.
Add New Pool Spell: Flashback by Danny Lykansion
This
spell allows the caster to rean the use of a spell that just failed,
and must be immediately cast. For example, if the caster enfeebled a
creature which called no effect, or a raise dead failed due to weapons,
they would gain the use of the spell back if they cast this immediately.
Blacksmith 6 new spell: Enchant Bracers by Pi Fisher
This
is a spell that gives a token to one player, such that when any of
their armor is repaired, all of their armor on their arms and legs are
fully repaired as well.
Blacksmith 6 new spell: Master Fixer by Pi Fisher
For
each learning of this, the caster chooses one benefit from a list of
benefits that modify their other spells. These are increasing uses of
repair armor by 5, increasing used of repair item by 2, and mystic forge
can be moved once if you spend 60 seconds to do so each time you cast
it.
Blacksmith 6 remove spell: Reforge by Pi Fisher
This would move the spell reforge into Masterwork Hammer.
Clarify whether Aura of Protection can be cast on others or not by Christopher Hamblett
This
has the goal of clarifying if Aura of Protection can be cast on others
or not, and changes the wording appropriately for each.
Clarify whether holding a MM prop always counts as wielding it by Christopher Hamblett
This
clarifies whether or not magic missiles that aren't planned on being
thrown can be held in the other hand, as there is confusion on this
issue.
Elemental Bolt/Elemental Missile both by Josh Fitzgerald
I'm
listing these as one, because they are very similar, but are two
different proposals. The gist is that rather than "Lightning bolt" or
"Magic Missile" you can choose an element you use when you first learn
the spell, changing the call to "fire missile" or whatever element you
had chosen.. Otherwise the spells act the same. The list of elements
you can choose is "Fire, Ice, Earth, Lightning and Magic".
Embrace Death Requirements by Josh Fitzgerald
This
requires Embrace death to look different than the character normally
does and have that description in their spellbook. Part B places a
limit on the number of regens embrace death can use by losing 5 scalping
blows each time that reset with a spell reset or at morning. These
parts aren't an either/or proposal, and both can go through.
Implement: Add option to cast regeneration without being 10' from weapons by Chrstopher Hamblett
This adds a three point option to implement for regeneration to not hae to be cast with weapons 10 feet away.
Last Words Abjurer 2 by James Murphy
This
is a spell that would be added as a second circle abjurer spell that
allows the caster to say 5 words when they die, at any volume they
wish. They may choose to activate this upon their death and must speak
within 5 seconds of being killed if they activate it.
Moving Aura of Protection to 4th by Josh Fitzgerald
This will move aura of protection to 4th circle, and lower enfeeble being and disenchant each one circle to fill the space.
Remove Most Sashes, and Possible Disenchant Change By Christopher Donnelly (Author)
This
would remove sashes from the spells Protection from Boulder, Purity to
Disease, Purity to Poison, and Resist Death. It also adds the
disenchant caveat that states spells on the caster are disenchanted to
prevent a bunch of the spells from being unable to be ended. Part B
would cause disenchant to only target one effect.
Seed of Life change by Josh Fitzgerald
This
turns seed of life into an amplifier for healing rather than unlimited
healing itself. Raise dead will give the 7 uses at 120 seconds, while
combat raise dead will give 4 uses at 60 seconds. Otherwise, the spell
works more or less as it does now (chanting has you count by 2s rather
than taking half the time.)
Spell Failure by Christopher Donnelly
This
is a change to put the Spell Failure caveat where spells can fail,
rather than in spells that can cause other spells to fail.
Direct promotion of proposals should be the day before by Christopher Donnelly
This changes the deadline for signing off on proposals from one week before to the day before.
Disenchant by Christopher Donnelly
This removes vague wording that implies all potions are disenchanted no matter what you disenchant.
Disrupt Suspends the Spell, not ends it by Christopher Donnelly
This clarifies disrupt suspends spells, not just ends them.
Remove redundant Protection from Missile Kneel option from Implement by Christopher Hamblett
This removes an implement choice nobody will use, as it's now part of the main spell.
