I had a thought. Astral is best suited to warriors, with the damage and all. Guardians have the cosmic plane to get saner a little faster. So I was thinking that for mages, intelegence could have a factor into determining the speed in which you get insane, because intelegence would be able to resist the astral energies or something. The current rate of insanity could be what it would be like at 12 int or so, with higher int meaning that it takes longer to get insane. That way the insanity would be less nuts for a lot of people, and mages have something to make up for their near total lack of ability to hunt there

What about wiccans and druids?
Well, my thought was intended to have the intelegence based insanity resistance apply to everyone, not just mages. Besides, you forest folk and astral energies don't get along well. You should just explode after 5 minutes on astral

That's why IG I suggested somebody setup an Asylum.
I mean, c'mon, if you had a schizophrenic homeless man at the mall, eventually the cops might remove him. You moondancers should take the afflicted to Moondance Tower, lock them in a room and work on rituals to heal them.Â
Don't let poor Soll stand out there where he might get hurt!
I have ideas, but I can't really act on them right now--workday, too little time until Saturday.

We don't allow non-Moondancers in the Tower

Well ok we don't generally allow them in. We might let someone in from time to time, but it's not going to become a regular thing. Now stop contradicting me

In that case, every time Faethorn is neutral, you guys turn into puddles of water. Or mud.
How about....
Mages and Druids don't gain any/half as fast insanity WHILE they are in their demesne. If the demesne is broken, they take hits on their sanity, like...33% for every room or so. It could be explained so that the Mage/Druid spreads his soul over a larger room, into a balancing energy (forest/taint/flood) or somesuch.
And damn....I can fly away after every hit and heal up again....not much more...

I haven't noticed any speed-up on cosmic, and guardians are still the worst bashers.
233880
Actually, that could be argueable....
Let's compare Druids to Guardians:
Their only defense ability is barkskin, in Nature.
Bashing attack: Cudgel
Guardians:
Celestines and Nihilists both get abilities to tank pretty well, be it numen or putrefaction, they might have downsides, but they have upsides as well.
Bashing attack: Cosmicfire.
I'd say, on Astral, what this thread is about, we are equal or Druids are worse off.
