Please add 5 or so new skills to each and make the COMPLETELY different. As it stands, both have -soooooo- many mirror copy skills that it is dull and bland. Make them special! Spice them up!

As odd as it sounds...I agree. biggrin.gif

Please take away strength giving spell in highmagic and replace it with an intelligence one. Most people who have highmagic are spellcasters.

Don't remove str, but int would be nice to have.

A high magic version of autumn would be nice, for increased xp (I think autumn is the right one *tug*)

leave the strength, bugger the influencing one and have it add a point to con instead.

Forget High Magic, just make the first skill in Low Magic something that makes me invincible and hide it from everybody else so only I can learn it!

Bah, I have to agree with Narsrim?? But I don't wanna... tongue.gif

Seriously though, this is a good idea. I suppose many of the secondary skills have some spicing up they could use, since none of them are 'mini' skills and some of them are pretty starved for good skills. But highlighting this RP difference would be really cool.

Can I get a medium-magic?
Revan2005-02-12 10:10:45
Addint +1 to int sounds very dilectably yummy. Just don't give it to Ceres... she does enough damage

Nah for the influencers, this is an useful skill I find.
Narsrim2005-02-12 12:06:00
Ok people, we can do better than +1 int or a mirror copy of autumn. We want something special and cool... and -unique- to each skillset. I personally would prefer some stuff that could be used in combat too... each skillset should provide a little more than crap.
Unknown2005-02-12 12:06:33
I think it's interesting that -all- spellcasters -have- to take highmagic, and gain a spell that gives +1 str.. which is utterly useless to them. Warrior archtypes can decide if they want 1+ con or +1 str, it is useful to them in any case, but casters don't even get that choice. dry.gif

Couldn't Geburah be changed so you can decide between +1 int or +1 str? sad.gif
Also yes.. something like autumn would be nice..

Not all spellcasters. Wiccans and Druids are confined to Lowmagic. Why should autumn be tossed in? You have Hexagram, Yesod, and a few others we don't.

How about a skill that prevents _anyone_ from entering the room in any way, like a REALLY big shield? You know, like greater pent, except it works.
Ceres2005-02-12 12:41:42
Hehe
Aebrin2005-02-12 12:46:34
Just thinkin'... Highmagic is supposed to be for weaving of sorta Elemental powers and Lowmagic is treehugging... so...

Some suggestions:

Highmagic:

BRILLIANCE (I know they all have fancy names, but I'm not a damn name maker)
Temporarily reveal all who are under influence of the circle of Yesod or hidden within invisibility.

Lowmagic:

WINTER WIND
Summons the wind of the winter to shake off all affliction of flames.

SILENCE
Casting forth the winds of the mountain, temporarily the location which you stand is silenced.

Whoever suggested a mirror copy of autumn obviously didn't read the first post of the thread. Narsrim clearly stated that he -doesn't- want mirror copies of skills, and all of us agreed.

Lowmagic Suggestions:

First adjustments to skills already there.

Green- Instead of an at once cure, let it cure a random affliction every tick over 3 or 4 rounds. Power cost, etc... will be the same.

Indigo- Have it give hypervision or lifevision instead of a one time reveal that never works...

Serpent- For 10 power, that shield needs to last for more then 20 seconds...

New ideas:

Center- Focusing your chakras, you may speed up your minds actions. Gives a minor eq boost. 3-5 power.

Wintershield- Watered down Spiritshield Frost. 2 power
Summershield- Watered down Spiritshield Fire. 2 power
Springshield- Watered down Spiritshield Water. 2 power
Autumnshield- Watered down Spiritshield Earth. 2 power
