Aelesh 319 Share Posted December 3, 2016 One of the cursed continuously has to fight with a small group of settlers for control of a piece of land. Said settlers become associated with the idea of pillaging and land theft. Whenever they see them from then on, they see them in light of their fighting over land with them. Perhaps they meet a certain thief many times, and in the future that person becomes associated as 'a thief'. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could definitely do some serious revising without destroying the central theme of the lore in this vein of thought. I'll be going over it soon, then. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yuln 206 Share Posted December 4, 2016 It definitely looks interesting, however I feel like with the forgetfulness this would lead to one-dimentional characters who can do very little in terms of character development. Thus they would become very NPC-like. That is my main concern. Also the constant comparisons to frost witches seem a bit out of place. I think this is sufficiently different to the frost witch curse that such comparisons aren't neccessary to be repeated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demotheus 649 Author Share Posted December 4, 2016 I've made some changes with allowing character development in mind. Added a small list of possible additions that aren't "canon" to what I'm doing but could be if it would make the lore better. Basically, stuff I don't think would fly. I also added a bit about how cursing someone works with regards to the relationship going forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scuba 281 Share Posted December 4, 2016 How's a twisted spirit relate to Dragonkin-esque boons? I felt like I was reading a season of Teen Wolf. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's a winter spirit got to do with feeling bad for sad women? Not a whole lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandNewKitten 2789 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Adding something in such as "supreme reflexes" and anything classified as unbelievably agile will always lend itself to PG and not be looked at in a positive light when it comes to RP. Tread carefully with the augmentation of physical ability, especially if you plan to use this on a weakened mage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tread carefully with the augmentation of physical ability, especially if you plan to use this on a weakened mage. They aren't unbelievably agile. The reflexes lend themselves to their senses. They're not likely to be surprised and can react unless their senses are somehow incapacitated to most things. As far as if they're a weakened mage, mages can have fast reflexes. So I don't see the point. Having fast reflexes doesn't necessarily mean overall success. Other factors go into it as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGiantPie 3169 Share Posted December 7, 2016 The problem with saying a power grants "increased reflexes" or whatever is that it leaves us with no baseline. We all know what a regular human is capable of doing, but the line becomes blurry when its a human with "enhanced agility." How enhanced? We have no idea because there's no scale for 'agility.' The only measuring tool we have is our knowledge of what real humans are capable of doing and thus we can't accurately measure how agile is too agile. Being able to jump 3.5 feet instead of 3.3 feet is very different from being able to jump 10 feet instead of 3.3 feet. With a vague "better agility" that is just asking for people to overdo it and powergame because they have no ooc idea of their own rp abilities.
