So trans planar is now worthless, so this thread is to help come up with ideas with what should replace it.

So far
1) Keep it.

2) Add a skill that makes it so anyone can go to any plane their nexus is connected to.

3)Omnichannel, talk and be heard from EVERYWHERE.

Post any other ideas you might have.

Doesn't benefit communes, as they can just transverse to Ethereal.

Yeah I don't like any of those skills to be honest but those are what people have suggested. Personally I wouldn't mind a refund just so I can ignore trans planar, all I want is nexus.

a 2-plane tesseract, maybe?
edit: or maybe just ability to tesseract to anyone on a normal plane, for a 2 power cost addition per plane, with 8 power cost to move to someone on astral. Yes, this replaces Tesseract, but I don't see that as a terrible idea.

I will come up with a few more ideas after I get some sleep

Well Demi's don't need it since we can tess any where from havens.

Just a note, if I'm not mistaken, your third suggestion already exists as the ability Broadcast-- at least that's what Broadcast claims to be.

Would it be a bad thing to make trans planar different for city-people vs. commune-people? I agree that a huge improvement for city dwellers would be the ability to go from prime to any plane your nexus is connected to...I find it silly how, as a trans planar person, I still need a mage or guardian to give me a ride up, which is just a waste of the mage/guardian's time. We can give something different to the communites to compensate, but this change would definitely improve the quality of life for all those bards, warriors, and monks in Celest and Mag.

Broadcast isn't everywhere because it doesn't include aetherspace and aetherbubbles, but Omniscience in Ascendance already is that, so yeah, it does exist.

Broadcast doesn't let you hear from aetherbubbles, which I'm assuming the proposed omnicast does, unless you're an Ascendant with trans Ascendance.

Micronexus

NEXUS CREATE
NEXUS IMBUE <1-200>
LINK NEXUS
UNLINK NEXUS
TOUCH NEXUS

Allows the user to create a personal micronexus. This device can hold up to 1000 power, which is treated as the same source of power as the nexus of power he is normally linked to. To create it, the user must NEXUS CREATE, which drains 10 power and requires both equilibrium and balance, and stripe equilibrium for 5 seconds. Any time thereafter, the owner, and only the owner, may NEXUS IMBUE <1-200> Which will imbue the micronexus with that much power from his or her reserves. Once power is contained within the nexus, he may link to and touch it to draw power from it, as if it were his organization's nexus. This device does not generate any power on its own, therefore one cannot draw dross from it. Once a weaving, it loses 1p to upkeep itself. If this power is not present, it decays immediately. Otherwise it will not decay.

I would actually LOVE this, especially if I could put it on my manse, there could be other things to do with it like ascending (come on, if one person gathers one million essence they DESERVE it) or putting normal essence in to give it power. I want this

Edit: Though making it hold up to 1k power would be a little me, too similar to an energy collector then.

Celest does actually have a project that keeps track of how much power you get. If you can hit 1000K they WILL ascend you, but any power you use doesn't count for your +total.

'cept it's restricted to 1000 power. Which might be fine cause it's more a storage device, at the same time I would love an artifact that would boost/remove the upper limit and allow you to design the nexus (also make it so it can hit 0 power without disappearing)

Yeah, remove the restriction or something and it'd be awesome.

>.> Let me to get to Earth and Nil from the Megalith! Screw Geomancers and Nihilists!

and communes?

edit: Also it's actually fairly easy to get to the elemental planes anyway and you could always try weaving a gate but that has it's own issues.

New trans skill: Nexal Transferrance: Allows you to transverse directly from ANY nexus to ANY of the planes it is connected to.


So you could go from Prime to Astral, or Astral to Elemental, etc.

Yeah, they're not likely to do that cuz it's not fair to forestals, with the war on at least that would be just as useless as the new trans planar ability.

Moar mininexus

What about a skill where for 10 power you could set up a room on any plane either allied to your nexus or not allied to any nexus where you could then teleport to it from your nexus. So I could say go to Nil, spend ten power and mark Luciphage's room, and then use the Megalith to travel directly to Luciphage's room from the prime plane.

That could potentially bypass a lot of combat, that's a little OP, no?
