There should be a way to check if a dream-being is following you. Make it some high skill in discernment, under aethersight perhaps. Currently, I think it's crap that I could eye sigil somewhere and still have some dream spying on me and hearing what I say with NO way to check.
Elryn2005-03-20 07:49:34
There's a skill in lowmagic to detect souls or dreambodies. There's probably an identical skill in highmagic.

Edit: And before anyone suggests it... I hope it doesn't get easier to detect/prevent dreamers from being there. From what I've seen spying/stealing is the skillset's primary function.
Ixion2005-03-20 07:52:54
Yes i just learned this..

indigo in lowmagic, but which in highmagic??
Elryn2005-03-20 07:54:08
Ooo... maybe its just lowmagic! That would be a nice little distinction.
Ixion2005-03-20 08:19:48
for highmagic it's Chokmah.

There should be a skill -in- dreamweaving which lets you either sense where anyone who is out of their body is or lets you see them in a ql and such

If you're in dreambody form you do see other people in dreambody form just by LOOK.

Well since you cant follow anyone while in dreambody now (ive tried this), this has all become rather moot
Soll2005-03-21 18:17:39

...I don't know what iching is, but palmreading would be unbelievably lame. Anyway, we need a choice. We should like, replace healing and hexes with two halfway cool things. (SMOKE. ninja.gif)
Sylphas2005-03-21 20:52:30
Hexes and Healing are decently cool, they just need to be a bit more useful, Hexes especially.
Shiri2005-03-21 21:13:34
Eh, not cool compared to all the other skills, though...it's just a load of glyphs and some regenerating. And...yeah. Compared to a cool demon with torture and infusing powers and tainting the ground and causing earthquakes and crud, I know which one I'd pick to be interesting. tongue.gif
Soll2005-03-21 21:17:12
Hexes, of course! wink.gif
Sylphas2005-03-21 21:19:09
Well, you can only really compare Runes/Healing/Hexes/Tarot, and Celestialism/Wicca/Nihilism, etc, since they're different "families" of skills, for lack of a better term. And out of those Runes is definitely the least cool, and Tarot the coolest.

Dreamweaving easily surpasses every other skill in IRE that I've seen in coolness, so it can't really be compared either.
