Designing a doctoral program from scratch, cold! Whee!
Slight side-tweet/possible rant: I'm a little worried that our requirements are too evil. I mean, not everyone likes writing and all, so I've tried to avoid the necessity of really writing too much, but once you get to a certain point science does require at least a bit of writing. And what tradition could be more scientific and time-honored than the doctoral thesis? So that's my moment of insecurity for the day.

I like all of Ileein's hard work.

Should get the program copied over to the Sentinels so our senior officers can get degrees in Temporal Mechanics.

Oh, that reminds me, I need to talk to you guys about that. Sentinel Company Officer Education Program (ROTC?), anyone? *hum*

Rave for new god with a mortal account!

Someone should put Ayridion out of the mortal zone too.

Not my problem anymore.
Ileein2010-08-27 04:08:44
I DON'T CREATE PROBLEMS, I CREATE FUN. MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF FUN.
Which, admittedly, may incidentally create problems. But that's not the point!

I never said there was a problem. Just not my place to deal with it anymore.

I think they're just right. In fact, almost all the writing can be substituted with talking, so even if people are intimidated by writing they should be fine if they've got the kind of attitude that seems appropriate to the guild's purpose. The only thing it could benefit from is a few more examples of what other people have published you can refer young folks to, and a few more active projects with active leaders to sign up for; but those are both reflections of the guild's relative youth, and will clear up with time.

You play a minor second on a scuffed mandolin bearing the stories of the road and direct the disharmonic notes towards an aetheretic slivven.
Blood trickles out of an aetheretic slivven's ears and from the corners of his eyes.
You have scored an OBLITERATING CRITICAL hit!
An aetheretic slivven screams and dies, as his eyes fly out of their sockets and blood splurts out of his ears.
You have slain an aetheretic slivven.
A noisy clockwork yoyo catches the corpse of an aetheretic slivven with its spin and draws it up into your hands.
A battle turret whirrs quietly, ready to be used once again.

Now I need to have a way to kill three things in the same split second. Roar!
Unknown2010-08-27 14:36:16
You need to go Bonecrusher or Blademaster for that, I think.
Eamon2010-08-27 14:45:58
Or monk
Anumi2010-08-27 14:52:05
Hm. So if you were a monk you could, theoretically, kill 4 things basically at the same time, yes?
Also I don't know much about beastmastery, but you have a separate "beast commanding" balance, yes? Can you order a beast to attack a mob? That would get it up to 5 but, my understanding of beastses might be way way off.

Monk combos stop after you kill a single mob in a room.
Beasts can only attack players.

If you got 3 WSCs on heavily injured slivven you could use uncomboed kicks and shofas though.
