Draco is a Master level hunter; He has been at it for over 70 years and in that time he has become something... not quite human but not a witch either.

@Dark Light Pffff, as if anyone is going to let him know that that is an option. also I am pretty sure Death would eat him

@13org I personally feel that messing with time is kind a very big thing. I mean, I've seen it used before but that was by charon (I think, it happened when I was only vaguely in the roleplay). Gravity also seems like a very big thing. But I've also only seen it with the biggest baddy and I don't really know what it looks like on a smaller witch scale. So if you feel comfortable with it not risking become a big thing, I am okay with it.

@Ellion

See, this is why Draco worships Eris. The Lady of Discord might be many things but things would get boring in a hurry if all the humans died out.

@Dark Light

That would be a nice plot twist XD

"IM TIRED OF THAT DAMN WIITCH! now I'm the bad guy!"
*starts playing smooth criminal and he gets out of the room moonwalking*

Pshhhh!!!! Don't say stuff like that out loud! You will get him in trouble... Even if it is just pretend.
Besides,

Well if someone *cough @Ellion cough* kills off his beloved, he is gonna want to start learning necromancy.

@Dark Light

*hides lONNGGG list of characters I have killed and tortured in the past* PFFFF AS IF I WOULD DO THAT!

@TheDoctor All that stuff with Mat, it doesn't count.

@Ellion
As I said, don't worry. I wont be creating black holes around or using time shift to stop time or things like that.

Think of the time magic as "fast forward" or "slow motion". The worse thing that Time magic can do to someone (Shai's Time shift can only affect living beings to a certain degree due to the fact that a living being is "anchored" on the current time line. If somehow this anchor is removed, time shit would create paradoxes, and in response, the reality itself would fight to correct these paradoxes, leading to some... pretty ridiculous scenery happening...) is severely slowing their perception of time and their "personal time" (if that makes any sense...) or she can make the exact opposite, making them faster. (think of it as a buff/debuff)

The biggest thing that the gravity magic can do is pin someone on the ground with their own weight. Powerful enough to inflict pain and pressure at their bodies, but not as powerful to break bones or severely hurt anyone.
(very demanding magic, creating a gravity field with this effect would certainly count to Shai's daily limit of magics.)

Creating a gravity field is an action that takes some preparation time. Although is difficult (because you can only "feel" the air getting heavier once the enchantation is almost complete), it can be avoided if someone is fast enough or if something interrupts Shai's casting.

Again, my plan to shai is to be an important support to one of the groups. Her skills can be highly beneficial to both hunters and witches. She currently doesnt trust any of them. Its a race to see who can get them to their side (once they discover her powers). And that can be done by good means or bad means.

*suspiciously eyes that thing hidden behind your back*
Well that's good then, now hurry and give me a post from rose or make stuff happen at the great hall :(

I wanna play too!

*grouches in the corner and turns the PlayStation on.*

*Whispers on the background* And please note that there is an very, very unnerving individual laughing and walking around with a bloodthirsty aura around them. Definitely not someone to be trusted...

I always balanced small scale gravity/time abilities by limiting the radius, so only things 20 to 30 feet would be affected. It makes it more fair since it becomes easier to avoid.

Also I like to think of Hunters vs. Witches with a DnD mindset (Witches are Wizards/Sorcerers, Hunters are Fighters/Barbarians). Like, Witches are extremely squishy and have no martial prowess, so they drop like flies if a Hunter closes in on them. A Hunter can shrug off more blows too and has a better chance to withstand or avoid effects that would fell an ordinary human. Of course, Witches have fancy magic which is their strongest perk, but an arrow to the head will kill them just the same xD

Okay, writing now. -also wanna read more sad harry potter head cannons-

The struggle is real

@shagranoz I am so, so sorry mate. I don't know how it slipped past me but I somehow missed yoru pst and didn't realize you were chatting with us. Please accept my apologize as I swear I wasn't ignoring you. I'm just an idiot who missed it.

I kinda made Lusius get up and leave with my last post, but I vote we just chalk it up to him being awkward around pretty girls. I swear that we'll RP again soon and again, I'm sorry about missing that post.

@Viciousmarrow

That's exactly how I think.
Shai is defenseless at close range combat.
Also, I tend to think that sometimes range isn't enough to limit gravity/time abilities since they can be very, very destructive.
That's why I've somewhat limited their usage to defensive abilities only.

Lol I hope an arrow to the head will kill a hunter too! Fighter or not I need to know humans can't run around looking like pin cushions and being fine...

@Viciousmarrow
Personally, I prefer to think of hunters as more rogueish than barbarians/fighters.

Humans are naturally sqiushy. If you get a broken bone, like say in your arm, the hunter is fucked since they likely can't use their weapon effectively.

So of course, the best answer is to not get hit in the first place. An arrow or other injury to the knee/head/whatever would still cripple a hunter. They can take a beating, sure, since they'd probably be more physically adept than a normal human, but they're still human. Most of them are, anyways.

But you know, just my opinion. I play too much Bloodborne and am not a fan of DnD.

@Viciousmarrow
Also, Shai's other abilities are already destructive enough (Well...thorned dices made of meteoric material, moving around in ludicrous speeds cutting and punching holes at things? And the whole star fall thing... Well, lets say that its pretty flashy XD. Powerful and flashy, but not unavoidable.)

@Dark Light

As the GM I say:

^ also, if anyone is bored...maybe I'll write faster if someone comes and keeps me company?

@Ellion

I immediately thought about Dark Souls, Anor Londo and those dreaded archers

@Rune_Alchemist
Mechanically speaking, rogues in DnD are skill monkeys and meh combatants, which is why i didn't use them as an example xD Id use the Ranger class as a comparison but they have spells. >.> A Fighter in DnD can have any kind of fighting style theoretically (edition depending anyway), so they're not always the archetypal knight in shining armor so to speak. Like I have one that's a dancer and uses his sheer grace and passion to kill things xD

@Viciousmarrow
expected example of Nox/Madeline relationship

WHO DARES SAUNTER IN HERE AND TRY TO STEAL MY CHEW TOY!!! *pouts*

Almost done work guys, just an hour and a half left. T.T
