[AMENDMENT] Transcendence Mental Effects

[Tav 4336]

 

Previous (Under the Mental and Physical changes):

 

Tier 2

As time goes on with the now strengthened bond from the Fae Realm, the Druid starts to take on slight aesthetic changes while the mind delves further into a primal state of being. It is here that the Druid struggles with their own humanity, having the lines blur for mortal and natural realms that play upon the individual’s mind while trying to adjust to their spirit’s awakening. This includes, but not limited too:

Tier 3

With the bond of the Druid’s soul fully attuned to that of the Fae Realm, their body and mind now have completed its transformation to reflect that of their spirit’s true nature. Physical alterations now begin to be fully seen, ranging from skin, eye, and hair changing by colors, appearances, and developing Fae/Flora/Animal like qualities. The mind of the Druid is now fully in tune with the Fae and Mortal Realm as they become one entity of the Wilds. This includes, but not limited too:

 Explanation:

I don’t really think there should be these many mental effects for a mere FA, a lot of which feel like a cheap excuse to adopt actual mental illnesses into roleplay, which are infamous for being done poorly no matter how “respectful" the person thinks they’re being. Like why are we giving the option for John the Druid to do DID roleplay because what? because he sat in the fae realm for a few seconds? Transcendence should be something further tying a druid into being a devout servant of the Aspects, which it does, but I think we could do better without all the random unnecessary mental illnesses it gives you, which I sincerely doubt brings anything good to the narrative other than “i’m mentally ill please look at me”.

Some of the ones crossed out are just mental effects that are repeated btw, Loss of Reality and Random Hostility specifically.
