[OOC] Arcana et Anathema

[TheHangedMan]

Sure! If she gets accepted anyway. Might want to wait for that xD

Otherwise fine, but the gold color is already taken by the NPC Dora. Maybe bronze would be a good fit? It's definitely a fighter's color.

I have a question, would Tracy's reaction time (since that's her wish) work just as well (give or take) as Felice's ability to predict attacks? Because in ways, a really good reaction time like that might be better at dodging attacks then actually knowing said attack was coming.

Felice's ability allows for dodging attacks not even high agility would allow, and with a 360 vision granted by the energy sense, even attacks Felice normally wouldn't know about.

[onenote]

ah, okay then. Thanks!
Actually, another question. Since I'm allowed to doge more then a regular player, how much am I actually allowed to do before I reach godmodding mode?

Note that the use of the ability does cost magic, since it relies on the energy sense and especially because it requires you to read specific energy signatures in the heat of battle, which can quickly become taxing to Felice's Soul Gem on the long run.

[onenote]

ah, okay. I take it that you'll be controlling our gems and telling us their condition and what not right?
Also, will Felice be able to see aura's outside magical knight mode and just seeing aura's as she is now, is that as taxing as say summoning her weapon or turning into a magical knight? Or are these questions that will be answered in the rp?XD

[Damiann47]

Yeah was wondering on how we keep track of magic levels, I figured Ariamis would be policing that. Kinda important to know now since in a post I prepared on the doc has Ancia testing out some real basic weapon modifying, well I think its basic anyway.

[TheHangedMan]

Okay thanks! I'll change the color to red. Her color isn't necessarily a fighters, but she's obsessed with the idea of strength and power, and Gold is the color of kings so . . .
And by the way, her wish is the potential to get that reaction time, so she won't have it yet xD (When she does though . . . I did a bit of research: a 0.0001 reaction time is . . . well holy crap; multiple machine guns and a fighter jet coming at you from 10 meters away at the speed of sound wouldn't be able to touch you :P)

EDIT: Also, wouldn't her reaction time be separated from her ability? Since it's her wish and from what I've seen, most abilities are derived from the wishes, so they're two separate things.

Like it was specified in the OP (I hope you guys haven't forgotten about the Glossary section there), Magic Knights can telepathically check and see how bright their Soul Gems are.
Your Arcanas may only be used while transformed into Magic Knights. Energy sense has a slow, but constant drain on the Soul Gem, which is tiny compared to the drain weapon generation has, but if constantly used can swiftly dim it.

Red is reserved for a later NPC.

[TheHangedMan]

Ah, darnit. Okay then, how about silver?

[onenote]

(sorry, I did cheek its just late at night, should be asleep and its been awhile XD I'll go over it again tommrow.)
okay then, I guess Felice will be turning it off soon.

Ashy Silver is taken by WanderingSpirit.

Well part of what I want to know is how do we gauge what is considered a larger or smaller drain on magic, I know we got general guidelines, but otherwise it does feel a bit ambiguous. Man lot of questions are being asked, sorry if its getting annoying at this point.

[TheHangedMan]

. . . Bronze it is! xD Oh, a quick question: Would Tracy's reaction time be separated from her ability? Since it's her wish and from what I've seen, most abilities are derived from the wishes, so they're two separate things.

Isn't Rusty's character's Red though?

If there's a wish it will be granted, and the desire for the wish awakens an Arcana in the Soul Gem, so yes.

No, I love answering questions. It helps me with fixing the mistakes I may have with the mechanics and rules and allows me to interpret them from an outsider's view.

He has crimson. It's a different color in my world.

[TheHangedMan]

Okay then! So how do you think I should do my opening post?
