Applicable BYOND Key - WeezerFan69
Character Name - Arturo Benetti
Request Type - Overly unique interpretation of a skill/class
Request Details - Being a bartender, Arturo has messed with his ability to turn water to wine, having taught himself to make other drinks with his magic instead of just wine.
Specific Request - Two abilities, both being pure roleplay fluff and not conferring any mechanical advantage:

The ability to transmute water into basic alcoholic drinks in addition to wine; specifically ale, beer, rum, and whiskey. He can't turn it into any cocktails or any drinks not mentioned here - those will have to be done manually. Furthermore, the drinks simply look and taste like the drink he turned it into - in terms of actual ingredients and alcohol content, it's the same as the wine normally produced with Water To Wine. 

Secondly, much like some mages can carbonate a drink, Arturo can manipulate the water to let the air in, carbonating it in a similar fashion.

Reason why you are making this request (if applicable) - I really just want to magic and fantasy-ify up my bartending. That's about it, I just think it'd be cool.

Roleplay & Lore supporting your request - Aquamancers can already turn water into wine, so turning it into other drinks isn't too much of a stretch, and mages / alchemists are known to make fizzy drinks in limited quantities. 

This Youkai Evoke works with all weapon types, but Bows are on the short end of the stick.

Could the range be changed from 1 to 2 range, so you can at least step away and fire the shot? Even if it makes the 'teleport movement' effect not work if it's not done in melee.

Just something to not get a -50% Hit penalty on a Youkai Evoke, please.

Request Type - Height Request

Request Details -  I spoke of details with Satan of making my Umbral 7'8 in DMs. He was cool with it.
Specific Request - Umbral that's from Telegrad that is very well fed, leading to a larger growth over her years.

Reason why you are making this request (if applicable) - I wanted to make her big and cool.

Roleplay & Lore supporting your request - She is well fed in Telegrad, very abundantly well fed thanks to the crops of her family.

   

   

Galdr Races - That being, Theno, Doriads, and Herons - really have nothing really that benefits bards beyond their potential for higher sound atks. Hell, their song skills cancel out Singing. There's no real difference playing a Bard class as a Galdr race compared to other races; which makes no sense given how Theno and Herons are described as being beautiful singers and Doriad's galdr being capable of literally creating life. 

I think that the Galdr races should have something beyond their base SAN/level-based sound atk to fit in with this musical theming. As such...

1. An added stipulation to the song-based racial skills of the Galdr races which makes them not cancel out singing when used, similar to the buffs dances received a few updates ago, and makes them not nuke a dancer's tempo from orbit.

2. A new, unlockable trait for the Galdr races.

Quote:Wide Vocal Range

Required: Theno, Doriad, or Heron.

Your attunement with the forces of Galdr gives you a vocal range that other singers envy, your songs just as much works of magic as they are works of art. You can now use Song class skills without having any instrument equipped. If the song skill would do damage, SWA is equal to your Level + 20.

Voltiger normally increases the Range of Sidecut/Sillcut by LV and increases the damage by a percentage (max. 25% bonus damage, 10 duration). 

But when used with Kensei, all it does is make Kagekiri a flexible line, while retaining the same range. I have not been seeing much use of that flexible line, mainly due to the range staying the same, so I'd like to request half of those effects to be at the very least applied to Kagekiri.

I.E:

Quote:Kagekiri

(snip, snip, snip)

If Voltiger is available, it will grant half of its effects to this skill, and change the pattern into a flexible line.

Hyattr's a race full of quirks, but at points they don't connect to each other well. There's a lot of 'old-stuff-that-is-overlayed-by-new-stuff' to the point the numbers and scalings are everywhere on the board. It's not very intuitive, and I feel like it could be made simpler, similar to Salamandra. Cutting off the whole 'Character LV' stuff is a good first step.

Besides. This skill has an -insane- FP cost for no reason. And the wind-up often takes a whole round by inhaling both Dragon Energy types. So...  9M total to fully use a Fire Breath. I'd rather the base skill be able to be used by itself without needing to wind it up.

Therefore, we'll go from:

Quote:Fire Breath
50 FP / 3M
Area: Line (5)

By utilizing massive amounts of focus, the Hyattr race is capable of launching a line of fire as if they were exhaling. Deals Fire magic damage to all enemies in a line equal to half your Character Level + Scaled SAN.

Its effects can change if you have Magic Energy or Destruction Energy stored. If you have Airborne status, you will also move the length of the line, but this requires the last square in the line to be unoccupied.

Quote:Fire Breath (Adjusted)
50 FP / 3M
Area: Line (5)

By utilizing massive amounts of focus, the Hyattr race is capable of launching a line of fire as if they were exhaling. Deals Fire magic damage to all enemies in a line equal to 100% SWA + 100(+1 per 2 Scaled SAN)% Fire ATK

Its effects can change if you have Magic Energy or Destruction Energy stored. If you have Airborne status, you will also move the length of the line, but this requires the last square in the line to be unoccupied.

Grinding for 10 stars in any dungeon that's lower than 60-80 is not a great experience.

There's only one type of monster that can drop their signature ten star.

On top of that you have to hope that the three or four LVL60 packs that spawn have that type of monster. (Or get lucky enough to have one spawn as a mini boss)

On top of that you have to contest the area with other players, and I've seen people begrudge other players who spend a long amount of time grinding for these items, because they will easily wipe the few mob packs that can drop it, and then spawn camp the areas where they spawn, an action that is absolutely reasonable due to the limitations of the drops. (I think this creates a particularly bad scenario however, due to having the ability to build bad blood in the community for something relatively innocuous)

On top of that, now if you're wanting to still grind these, you have to wait for server tics to respawn them.

I do not know what would be the best solution for this, but I think lowering the level needed for mobs to be able to drop their 10 stars would at least be a fix the community would appreciate.

Currently background images aren't loading when placed onto signs (that had worked prior).

Is this intentional?


UPDATE:

This isn't a bug on SL2's end so I'll just leave this as a PSA. Discord and Imgur don't seem to play nicely with image hosting for signs anymore, imgbox is what I've been recommended and currently use, so if you have any signs that you've used either site for and now have broken backgrounds, swap them over to https://imgbox.com/ or whatever other site works for you.

Currently, Macabre Culture is. Well.

Garbage.

It gives +Ele Attack if you wear gear made out of Remains material. Unfortunately. Gear that isn't your weapons or armor are usually given Resistance to a specific material of 5% per.

+Ele Attack is basically never worth it in comparison to covering up a weakness.

My suggestion here is to just simply buff the Remains Materials as a whole, giving them +Ele Resistance of 5% to the Macabre bonus it gives. Allowing Apertaurus and Reapers to get a very small buff, and also stop having gear that drops a useless material type for everyone else.

If you use a fruit of forgetfulness while you still have your spell thief cards equipped, it deletes the cards instead of unequipping them.
