Because we need a new Will-o-wisp, and talks seem to have been slow on it. That, or because I haven't been on Lusty, talks SEEM to be slow. So, we either need a new skill for a Will-O-Wisp, or a replacement. This thread is meant to have people decide which replacement would be best and why.

Now, I did this, once, on a certain MD clan, but, might as well bring it here as well.

So, here we go, I'm going to type up stuff from a book on the various types of Fae!

There are many more fae than the ones I have listed, but, I think I'll leave it at this for now. If you want more information on a fae, just request it on here, and I'll type it up.

In case you got lost from the big amount of text, this thread is meant to help choose a new fae. Choosing a new skill for the Will-O-Wisp could be done on another thread, but this one is meant to choose a new fae.

That may be-- but we're still working on selecting a new skill for the willowisp since it already exists in game, and is a lot more likely than adding in new fae to Faethorn imo.

First mention what wiccans need a new fae to be able to do (i.e. what would be good synergy) Then its easier ot pick a fae based on that.

I think Laysus already has one of my suggestions for wisp but I don't remember which, since I've had quite a few. The way he talks about you other envoys though, it always sounds like anything I suggest (including ideas for new skills in Moon) would get immediately shot down, which is disheartening to say the least.

My ideas really aren't that overpowered... are they?

Depends on what they are. I'm not sure I've even heard your ideas.

Nasty thing about envoys: if nine people agree with you, one person strongly disagrees with you, and three people are indifferent or mildly opposed, you're in the wrong and won't get your change.

Actually, with this example, it'll pass. 10 for, 4 against, 2/3 majority is for the override. Tweak the numbers a bit, though, and it'll be more accurate. Even something like 12 for and 7 against or indifferent, has the 2/3 majority (since it rounds down, just needs 12). 11 for, 8 against won't pass though, if there's a veto.
