Re: Lore Questions: December (2017) - Raigen.Convict - 01-13-2018 How do excel weapons charge up specifically? Is there an engine on them when we don't even have trains? Or is the focus you expend simply fueled into the weapon for a magically suped up attack? Re: Lore Questions: December (2017) - Trexmaster - 01-18-2018 Does a method exist to establish magical two-way communication (think Sending ala DnD) ? If so, is this something PCs would be capable of doing? Re: Lore Questions: December (2017) - GSM - 01-22-2018 Running off of the D&D themed questions most recently. 1) Would it be far-fetched to say that there’s such thing as a Warlock (ie. a type of mage that uses the astrological ‘gods’ as a source of power, or a primal elemental)? 1a) What would be the patron restrictions, if so? 2) We know Dark Bards are a thing, but do they have any sort of powers other than wicked shreds? 3) Did the concept of a god exist before the Contention, excluding gods that existed before it, by the proto-humans? 4) Are Lycanthropes the only type of Were-creatures, or are there others, like werebears, weretigers, etc? 5) Do other D&D/general fantasy themed monsters exist in the world, and if so, what are they? 6) Is there such a thing as Dwarves as a race, perhaps living within the Alstalsian mountains? (If so, I’d definitely suggest a stat block after answers come out.) 7) To the topic of the starsign ‘gods’. Are those actual gods, or are those planets/stars everyone just is interested in? And would Iahsus be considered one as well? Re: Lore Questions: December (2017) - Sarah54321 - 01-30-2018 How dangerous is it for NPC guards to be guarding the Manor all the time? Is it possible to still enter it from different directions? What is the extent that hexes can do, exactly? Is there a limit, or is it mostly free-range so long as you have the power and imagination? Re: Lore Questions: December (2017) - Snake - 02-01-2018 Expanding Sarah's questions: 1- In that regard, could the Darkwood Manor be considered a Black Door Phenomenon after such heavy spooky influences by that house's lord? 2- What about the static dungeons? They don't fade away, but are still dangerous places packed with monsters. 3- This is more a (Sam) theory, but... Would anything done to a Black Door Phenomenon be impossible to stick, due to how erratic those places are and (probably) tend to warp back and forth in time and space? ((Example: If we go up to a BDP and barricate up every possible entrance so other people can never enter it. Would it stay like this permanently, or 'by it being a BDP', it will magically reverse in time or something?)) Re: Lore Questions: December (2017) - Neus - 02-05-2018 "GSM" Wrote:snip Basically, the blood of a vampire doesn't contain focus naturally - which is why they have to feed. A fed vampire's blood does have some focus in it as a result. Hopefully that clears things up. "Blissey" Wrote:The Church has always led people to believe that the over-dependence and use of Mercana promotes chaos and complacency. They've explained why, and done so well. However, it raises one (maybe more) question(s), which are hopefully answered in scripture, maybe?: I guess you could phrase it as not discarding the value of fire just because arson exists, which is to say, just because it can be abused doesn't mean it shouldn't be used to help those in need. "TheCommonNoob" Wrote:Medical questions! 1) It will cleanse the wound, yes. 2) Since we have magic it could be considered somewhat more advanced than you'd think for the setting, at least in terms of medical treatment. There aren't things like life support machines or other complex machines, at least in any common sense. Maybe there are some mad scientists who have something like that in their labs, but it's not something out in the world, so to speak. 3) Pills do exist, yes. 4) The area around the nullstone would be a little more resistant to magic, and I assume depending on the location it would cause some medical issues, but maybe not. "Skullcatrons" Wrote:Re-wording questions: 1) Only within the boundaries of the forest itself. It's contained to the land the forest is on, however. 2) The trees of Mechana Forest can only grow in the soil of the forest. If you planted it elsewhere, it wouldn't grow. 3) Yes. 4) A few million per. 5) Of course. The hard working Asago Corporation never rests. 6) Maybe I'll write up a lore post on the organization which details this, but not right now. 7) Multiple colors. 8) I don't think many people would think to try and talk with a mysterious rock. 9) I... am afraid I still don't understand what is being asked exactly. 10) Phobos is very much alive. 11) They don't have many feelings on him, I would say. They only really care about things that disturb the soul after death. "Spoops" Wrote:Recently Sadie mentioned a card game from Karaten where the face sides of the cards have illustrations of monsters on the front, is this a card game akin to real life card games such as Yugioh or Pokemon? (another example would be like Triple Triad in Final Fantasy) Would the monster cards be stuff like Jammers/Spatials etc.? And would this eventually be a game feature at some point? Yes. I don't know if it'd be a game feature at some point, but maybe. "Shujin" Wrote:I couldn't find it via search so I ask again here: 1) It's really called Sigrogana, yes. 2) Illusions are things that manipulate the senses, so they aren't effective on things that don't have senses. 3) No, not really. 4) Betting on matches would be considered illegal, but getting paid to fight wouldn't be. 5) Essentially, although there is officially created coin/paper currency for Murai as well. "Snake" Wrote:1- Are things like 'Board Game Online', 'Yu-Gi-Oh' or 'Cards Against Humanity' IC games? 1) Obviously not YGO or CAH. Board games are a maybe. 2) See 1. 3) Only in the sense that you're actually playing a game ICly. You can't play YGO ICly, as an example, so obviously that one wouldn't fly. "Grandpa" Wrote:Is it possible for any kind of foliage (grass, trees, etc) to grow outside of Oniga in Gold? (Anywhere beyond the green patch) 1) It's possible. 2) Yes. 3) Plants wither extremely quickly, even if they grow through some magic. Obviously, the piles of sand don't make the best soil, either. "Blooderty12" Wrote:Medical questions regarding surgeries. 1) I don't really want to validate/invalidate any RP in Lore Questions, since that's not really what it's for. 2) See above. Surgery is already a thing in Sigrogana, though. 3) See 2. "Raigen.Convict" Wrote:How do excel weapons charge up specifically? Is there an engine on them when we don't even have trains? Or is the focus you expend simply fueled into the weapon for a magically suped up attack? Something like an engine, it uses focus to propel the weapon forward at a high speed and causes a powerful shock on impact. "Trexmaster" Wrote:Does a method exist to establish magical two-way communication (think Sending ala DnD) ? If so, is this something PCs would be capable of doing? Yes, but only to pre-designated locations, similar to how portals work. It is also faulty and prone to interference in bad weather, so it can be very unreliable. "GSM" Wrote:Running off of the D&D themed questions most recently. 1) It's probably best not to step too far out of the existing classes in this regard. If there's interest for that sort of thing, it can be explored. 2) They can probably make your eardrums explode. 3) Yes. 4) Lycanthropy is the general term for such things, it's not exclusive to werewolves. 5) A bit too vague, but probably. 6) Honestly not something that exists within the lore currently but maybe in the future. 7) I believe this was answered in a previous topic. Iahsus wouldn't be considered one. "Sarah54321" Wrote:How dangerous is it for NPC guards to be guarding the Manor all the time? Is it possible to still enter it from different directions? 1) They probably wouldn't guard it, but nothing comes out of the manor grounds anyway. 2) The limit is what they can do in-game. "Snake" Wrote:Expanding Sarah's questions: 1) It wouldn't be. 2) Static dungeons vary, some of them like the spatial one would be similar, while others wouldn't. Really, they exist there to fulfill a gameplay purpose (IE, having dungeons of certain level ranges always available), so I wouldn't read into them very much. 3) There's only one entrance to a BDP and I don't think you'd be able to barricade it very well. Even if you did, since they are temporary, I don't think it'd do much good. |
