Dyrr 137 Share Posted July 2, 2015 This lore seems very solid, and provides a great new frontier for Dwarven RP. +1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lima 773 Author Share Posted July 6, 2015 Random question, who would "start off" knowing this magic? Do you have people in mind? We will be running off the runesmiths from 501's writeup as it was to some degree roleplayed out, as it is being treated as a direct follow up. Names of those who will have it are the following: Dizzy771, Epicbeast6209, BaronVonDietz [though his character does not have access to his runic tools], Jordan1921 [who managed to flat out lose his tools] and myself. However, it should be noted that as a item creation magic those who have it does not directly correlate general approach and usability. At least 3 of the runesmiths there believe IC that the arts of the Dwedmar are a service that must be provided if the person who have the products use it for a just or good cause. We also have more students to eventually introduce. I plan a full implementation method making it a more ''guild'' than ''nation'' magic, though still exclusive to dwarven characters [through IC means].

Lima 773 Author Share Posted July 6, 2015 tbh sounds like this was only written to mcly benefit the dwarves... 1. How does this MCly benefit dwarves? 2. I am not part of the dwarven nation... lol. 3. We had a version of the magic before this that was leaps more powerful. 4. Are you aware we had a racial magic, just like how orcs have shamanism?

Mj. 697 Share Posted July 6, 2015 My main buzz with it is the example really, a skeleton key from my take on it. As much as I think it should be some kind of thing, it sounds to me like with a little bit of elbow grease, all the sudden the maker can open any kind of that door, and the way I am taking it, I would see no reason that would not also work on chests.

Wait explain..? Oh, you have concern over the creation of a key that can open any form of lock? Riiight! Well, here is where I put down your worry, for any generic construct marked utility has to be fully runically designated first. A object is just a piece of shaped metal until someone comes over and says ''this is a lock, with another thing it has this use'' and its one of the things a runesmith has to do. So unless the runesmith had access to both sides of the lock upon its creation and the interior working parts, they would not be able to skeleton key a normally functioning door.

Hiebe 2475 Share Posted July 6, 2015 My only take on dwarven rune smithing is that it should be like all the other fantasy style, creating runes of power that effect not only weapons but the environment. Its a meh subject and its always been going through rewrites, dont expect yours will stay long. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aengoth 2883 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Skimmed over it so sorry if this was answer already. Will Divine, Elemental and Golematic all be treated as separate subtypes within runesmithing (similar concepts used within shamanism and druidism) or is it simply a system for organizing the runes catalog?

Aengoth 2883 Share Posted July 8, 2015 tbh sounds like this was only written to mcly benefit the dwarves... Unique benefits and exclusivity are not always a problem. Plenty of "neutral" magics and various other groups exist that can fill any gap created by runesmithing (such as enchanting or evocations if you're interested in the elemental aspects).
