Would it be shapeshifting as a specialization/shapeshifter as a class, or shapeshifter as a race and shapeshifting as a racial skill?
By the way, sorry for the bombardment of questions...

Since shapeshifting is fueled by magic and not by what race you are, it should be a class I suppose. Some races are a bit better at magic cause of their history in it or because they have a better connection to it but certain magical abilities aren't just easier for one race or another, it's magic in its entirety. If you can pull feats like shapeshifting physically, it should also be possible to pull other big feats with training for that kind of magic. Others aren't as lucky to be as good and can't do any of it. Correct me if I'm wrong Witch, you're still the one who made it up. Me being the one who fell asleep during you explaining it XD

Shapeshifting would be a sort of magical class. Shapeshifting race is something I want to avoid.

More or less right, Noa

WitchChild said Just woke up and read the new cs. Was liking it and then "summoned an aether wraith" yeeeeeeeeeeah...no. you could have said demon and id be okay with it but not an aether wraith


Admittedly I thought you might have a problem with that, but since it was a singular event, not something he could ever repeat, I thought it might pass. Still, I've amended it to a demon of hatred. Is that satisfactory?

It wouldn't matter if it was a singular event. A whole society became mutated freaks when their top most spellcasters tried to tame Aether Wraiths, no way a 7 year old is going to do it out of sear luck.
Demon of Hatred is much more preferable in this setting than an aether wraith.

I´d also prefer that you tone down on the whole "perfect illusions" by just a tad. Making Perfect illusions is a bit too much. Believable Illusions until someone takes a real good look will suffice for you.

But that's part of the whole point of the character. He is young and has not spread his magic out into many fields, but in the fields he has explored he is pretty much a master. It would defeat the purpose if his illusions could be discovered by anything other than touch.

Alright. Compromising time.

His Illusions MAY be near perfection if he devotes all his concentration on said Illusions. The more sorts of illusions he has to whip up, the harder it is going to be for him to keep the perfection up. Wave of the hand illusion will not be perfect in some way.

He may be a pure illusionist but, as you say, he is young and there have to be others that are better at him, older and wiser masters.

I'm still trying to muster up a proper CS...so far, I've got a male whose obsessive self-hatred of himself made him a pretty damned efficient shape shifter. His idealises the human race as perfect, but as a result, he looks down all other races...even the one he's actually part of. He is reasonably good at hiding his mental instability, mental instabilities due to some of his violent past, but a series of untreated head injuries had made it worse to the point of minor insanity at times. The guy also has a man crush Salam Vintair, who he delusions saved him a decade ago from bandits.

What about his other magical talents? How about this, I scrap his spirit summoning, make his illusions only static, which means they can't move on their own, but they are very hard to see through, and then also have him be very good at sound magic?

Kael, not to be a bonerkill, but why don't you pick on school of magic or the other (sound or illusion)? Your character is young, you said so yourself. Why doesn't one of his life goals be to get better at the other school of magic? Just a suggestion.

StoneDogg, the reason I don't want to do that is because having two schools of magic and being good at them is the very manifestation of his genius. If he only knew one, he would have to be immensely powerful in it to bring out the fact of his magical genius, which would be almost god modding. Therefore, I just made him very good at two, but not unbeatable.

• Name: Kavasa Urs

• Gender: Female

• Age: 102

• Race: Mirilith

• Appearance:

• Gear & Possessions: Armor and weapons as seen in appearance, several silk scarfs, golden circlet complete with dangling diamonds, a bow custom built for her size and strength.

• Skills & Abilities: Stealth, melee combat, Riddles, tracking, can see heat, increased sense of smell, higher than average speed, hypnotic mind control of beasts with weak wills, a venomous bite that can cause dizziness and nausea, if not treated in 24 hours the result is death.

• Personality: She has a dominating presence, and is quick to turn to anger when things don’t go her way. Kavasa is a tyrant doing whatever is necessary to achieve her own selfish goals. She doesn’t care who she has to hurt or kill. She would even burn down a entire village and slaughter everyone in it including women and children to reach her goals. She does have a slight attraction to handsome men and is likely to attack them before any others purely so she can later have their bodies taxidermied and added to her collection of human statues (in rare cases especially beautiful females may fall victim to her strange collection.)

• History: A century ago Kavasa wouldn’t be the vicious villain she is today, she had been a simple snake, unfortunately though through infernal powers of a demon who had broke loose of it’s master’s binds took her and two of her sisters and transformed them with his powers. They became mixtures of woman and snake though Kavasa was the strongest of the three and mutated the most having six arms while the others only had two. She was also the largest of the three and she had a dominance over them that could only come from being the eldest and most powerful. Their master a demon named Baful used them as his personal bodyguards and would severely punish them anytime he became unhappy. The three sisters plotted and planned for two decades while suffering under this demon’s rule until one day they slew him and banished him with his own magical artifact that kept him in power for so long.

They left the Demon’s domain and looked to the horizon for their own glories, Kavasa lead her sisters for years stopping to terrorize villages and cities here and there. It wasn’t until they arrived at Vekla and found the night lurkers that Kavasa discovered a true purpose. This city if she could take it would be a perfect place to begin creating her empire of servants. She came across the Night Lurkers and using the power to hypnotize those of a weaker mind she took control of their colony using them to scare and torment the citizens of Vekla. She plans to eventually kill all the houses of Vekla and take the city as it’s queen expanding her rule from more than just the Night Lurkers.

•Her Sisters: The middle sibling
Gear: Dual Scimitars and leather armor.
Abilities: Faster than average speed, stealth, and poison the same as her sister.


Gear: Spear, and bow chainmail armor
Abitlities: Stealth faster than average speed, stealth, and poison same as her sisters.
