chaotikal 2236 Share Posted December 28, 2015 What do they add to roleplay if I may ask? It looks too much alike Xan's Keepers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is from a pervious comment answering the same question, so pardon if you mind me recycling what I said previously. " The Augurs (in my opinion) bring something that has been truly lacking on the server, an actual /good/ force. Every single type of creature currently one's able to be is either neutral, or bad. Even magics! Not one /goodguy/ group or creature. Likewise, currently every playable magic group on the server is either neutral (IE: the druids, though there has been so many either greatly unkind, to evil druids I've seen that the druids as a whole cant really be called good.), or has a vendetta against another. (IE: The Ascended, Tahariae Clerics, Xan Paladins, all want to purge things.) Likewise, this creates both something new and interesting for characters to interact with. What will people do when an augur /wont/ help them attack something? What will they do interacting with this creature? Will they trust it as it's previous self? Will they want to listen to it's guidance? And even moreso, none of this roleplay is centered around /COMBAT/. They're something that /isn't/ gonna spend 90% of their time shanking you, but actually rather talking, and doing things. Likewise, it allows the player to explore what being without anger is like in their daily life, and in their glorified body. What would usually enrage them would rather confuse or sadden them, " Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think that one would sound like the original descendants voice, yet with a slight metallic tinge, as if alluding to the fact that they can still turn back to their previous self, and that they're the same person. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fail to see how they are like Xan's keepers, which are essentially Paladins beefed up. Augurs have no healing abilities, have only spectral abilities (not the offensive capabilities of other holy magics), and have very different sets of morals. 11 hours ago, Chaotikal said: You seem to be explaining The Wilven Philosophy, but adding flashing sparkly lights to it. Yeu Rthulu followers have a unique moral system outlined in the strictures based on forgiveness and abstinence, not neutrality, as with Wilven monks. Yeu Rthulu restrictions are based on mundane things (no sex outside of marriage, no drugs, no alcohol, et cetera). They CAN and WILL help defend people, but that isn't really their point.

Adelemphii 958 Share Posted December 30, 2015 As long as it's not abused and powergamed like some races, i'd +1 it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaun 99 Share Posted January 4, 2016 The Augurs I find to be a rather interesting piece. They do not seek great advantages in their roleplay but rather a slight change and far more limits than gains. It creates an interesting atmosphere in which they shall work and create roleplay for those who interact with them. I whomlesomely support the Augur Lore. Quaint and affective, but not overly done.

Shadeleaf 757 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I'm sorry but this lore has been denied. The main reason for this is due to the anguel's minuscule following, providing a GREAT deal of strength to a very small group -- furthermore, another itheral like creature does not seem to be supported by the lore team. More on the topic, the transition described is also mechanically impossible - as switching from spectre to a descendant race cannot be accomplished via our current racial system.
