[Kenshi]

Krieg put Mae down, so the IC can be made!

[VeyrinDay]

wait, I still can't figure about my defense and items; I'll check the book and links

this might take a while, but if any of you kind gentlemen could direct me to the relevant part, I might be able to have it quicker

@VeyrinDay

Page 111 in the book as an example of your items a zealot might have. Specifically they mention: ceremonial dagger, unholy symbol, vestments, simple sickle, scripture, golden bell, blessed wine, box of incense, quill & parchment, torture tools, anointing oil, and wax candles. Basically notably things that you think your character would have that is useful. Perhaps she wears a perfume that's makes humans intoxicated around her. Or maybe she wears a very seductive nun outfit that does the same. Perhaps her holy symbol looks like one for a god of light, but is actually one for your dark god and also a knife.

Your defense comes from said items. For example if you ever flub a roll to talk someone into falling for your lies, perhaps you have an item that protects you from that failure in a way that makes sense. Using the previously mentioned example, you have that intoxicating perfume. You try talking to an adventurer to trick him into thinking you're an innocent woman kidnapped by monsters but he see's through your lies. You can then invoke your defensive item i.e. the perfume and say something like it's scent makes the adventurer forget his doubts and thinks you're telling the truth, this time at least.

That's just an example of course. Page 53 has more specific information about what defenses are so you could pick and choose your defense from there. You just need to make sure you have an item that could facilitate that defense happening. Specific examples of defenses are the following: minion mistakes, detection, magic, being caught lying, wounds, enemy movement, or containment. Though I imagine that you can choose based off your abilities as well. Dark Cloud for example is going to have a Defense due to his naturally small size that gives him a better chance of defending himself against ranged attacks.

@Lucius Cypher

I'll have one of your suggestion

Likely I'll take my time having to thoroughly read the rules for another time when there are no pressure in immediately starting the IC, lol

Now I still have to check the effects...

[VeyrinDay]

@Mae
I still don't get about weakness and why do my character has to have one in the abilities example you provided.

@POOHEAD189@Lucius Cypher@Dark Cloud@Kenshi@VeyrinDay

The Lore and System Thread has been updated to include Concoctions, Contraptions, Magic Items and a little about Edges. When you take one of these as your valuable item at character creation, you can ignore the negative effect.

@VeyrinDay When primal abilities are powerful weaknesses are granted alongside them to counterbalance how strong they are.

Appearance:
Her Alluring Eminence is almost human-like in appearance except for her strangely pale alabaster skin, dim purple iris, and dark aura.

Long white hairs hang on her head, adorned with spiked crown.

Defenses:

Seductive Vestements:(Against Caught Lying) The Grand Priestess of Iziza is adorned with a desire-captivating robe that is able to render any awareness toward even simple lies useless.

@VeyrinDay

I've attempted to complete my defense and gears, is this acceptable, especially for the gears?

[Mae]

@VeyrinDay it's looking good! add 1 to your Dark Hearts and you also have a spare gear slot for later. Blink Boots are a magic item, the fluff is: Lets you teleport a short distance away. You can post as soon as IC is up!

and since the majority of people are ready to go, and @Poohead189 is almost done too, I'd like to have the IC up today methinks
