I don't know how they can cast illusions on others without being able to see/hear/etc the illusion themselves.

Illusionists are affected by the own illusions they create, so, if they create a strong light, they will infact see the light as well... I think... or else they wouldn't know it was being created. I can't know for sure because I have received mixed responses. I don't know if they affect the minds of everyone around, or just of the selected people they chose. Example, creating a strong light in a crowded place to blind someone, would only that someone be affected or would everyone around also see the light? If it creates for everyone, then the illusionist creates something that affects even himself, if not, maybe the illusionist can't create illusions for himself. [edit] On the other hand, even the ones being affected by illusions might know it's not real but still feel the illusion, and as so, the illusionist could create something that he himself knew was false but work with it. So he would not have to fool himself only create something for him to see but he would know it would be fake.

I believe this would be possible with what the illusionists do. Creating an image in the air that would facilitate the study of anything would be quite useful for those illusionists that are as well engineers or designers. On the other hand creating very complicated designs would make them tire themselves out quickly. Text in the air that would change constantly would also be a huge help and it's possible. I believe if I didn't read it wrong, that this magic is to create such things and still let the one performing the magics to have thier mind thinking of other things besides the illusion, and to analise the illusion without having to keep the mind concentrated on it. On the point of the mind working faster, I do not really know how it would work, but it could maybe be possible, as there are situations where the mind has to work faster, such as when in danger, maybe creating that illusion on himself his mind might work faster. I would assume all this would be possible, unless maybe for the last part of the magic where the two 'minds' closer, and it would be hard to acomplish, requiring like stated a very meditative state where the concentration could be separated into two parts. I like it.

Not quite Conner. While illusion is a form of the arcane and such needs a mental projection and a connection to the void at the same time, druids do not deal with the void (at least directly). While an illusionist can illusion whatever he wants, with this magic the druid could only change to one animal, and one animal only and could never change to a different one. As such, there are pros and cons to each of the magics: illusionist can create anything, druids only one animal; illusionists don't last very long, druid shapeshifting lasts. About shamans... I knew they could shapeshift, but only in humanoid form. I have no idea if they can shapeshift into animals. This would be under witchdoctor subtype.

It makes a lot of sense, and overall a good written magic which incorporates druid essence into it. A question thought, if the aspects did no longer be with the druid, would he still be able to do the magic?

Any help I could get would be great, as I might have some insight on most weapons, but there are always some that others have a better gasp of. This has already been seen in the bows section where I changed what I wrote based on what others with more knowledge commented on. About the fighting styles, I would feel there are way too many for it to ever be done a guide on, as everyone has their own style and things they should make. On the part of the emote part of your comment, I might place it in the general guidelines for rp, as I seemed to have forgotten to comment about being hit. Thank you for the comment.

Staffs are done, I hope you like it. [edit] Right now I'm thinking of a way to divide the swords, as there are many, many types. Perhaps I'll keep thinking on them and write another weapon while I think it over.

I was planning for it, I liked his guide a lot, and it was made to help those to rp better the crossbow. Considering I do not know much about crossbows right now, I would be consulting him about it.

Well, I mentioned all that :P, just placing them in example emotes is a little harder.

It wuite seems I have some changes to do to the guide. I will probably make a change between the longbow and the composite bow about how it's used and it's limitations. I would be exchanging so, longbow being a powerful and difficult to use bow, but not very hard to make, and a composite bow as being easier to use, with more power than a normal bow, but very expensive and with less power than a longbow. On composites, I know their use with the horses, but in lotc that use is not very good, so I believe it being a better bow than the normal cheap one would perhaps be a better use for it. I will also remove the accuracy factor from the bows, as I came to believe that accuracy is almost fully dependent of the archer and arrow and almost nothing on the bow. On the matter of continuating the guide, I have finnished daggers and knives, but am having a little difficulty in making example emotes on how to use them. While bows are fairly easy to state how it has to be rp'ed, other weapons are a bit harder because their use is changed in every situation.

Thanks for this, many of these things I didn't know. But I don't know if some would be true. As you stated you said drawing a bow and shooting would be hard, while I say it was easy, but then you say accuracy would be easy, while I said hard. I think I said this because I thought in reverse than you did. I thought in a ways of how an amateur with strength could pull the bow and easily shoot an arrow quite far but with no accuracy, while you thought that after having the necessary strength to pull the string they would already have the ability to aim properly. For someone not very familiar with the longbow, it would take longer to pull and aim anything decent, and normally would still miss but shoot very far. Perhaps I should change the easy to train, I think it would still require some training for it to be used well. On the matter of the army of bowmen, I remember reading something that peasants had to train every week for a few hours, making it that, for the use of hundreds of longbowmen in battle, accuracy would not be that important, perhaps only in the area to hit. The reasons I stated for the composite were about the same, someone not trained won't be able to even pull the string of a composite, the strenght it would require would be quite a bit to keep the bow steady, the same I applied for longbows, but asumed that those with not much training could infact pull the string more, because it uses the whole body to pull. I'll have to think on how to change it, if you have a sugestion on how to, please do not feel bad for posting it, I have a lot to write and help is always asked by me :P Thanks for the post

Will do, added to things to come.

I did not even know that, thanks, I'll add that in.

Weapons and Armor As to aid in combat rp, one must know how their weapons and armor works. A descriptive guide on many weapons shall be made here for you to learn more on your characters weapons of choice, as well as some tips on how to rp them. All emotes necessary IG are dependent on the circumstance but I will try and give a guide as to how I at least would do the emotes. It is quite extensive so perhaps just reading your weapon of choise would be more wise. General guidelines for Combat RP Bows There are many types of bow to chose from, but I will talk of only three, as I doubt anyone rp’s other bows unless they know plenty about them. Knives and Daggers Knives and daggers are small weapons used for stabbing and cutting. They are easily hidden and very easy to transport due to their small size. Staffs Staffs are long weapons to thrust and bash with. They are normally seen in the hands of those travelling for aiding in their walk. One handed Swords Normally smaller swords, they are gripped with only one hand War Hammer One of the weapon of choice against armor. Battle Axes A normal axe can bring down a tree, one for battle can bring down many enemies. Polearms Long weapons to inflict damage before they can even reach you. Throwing weapons Weapons of ranged capacity, thrown by hand.

Because they existed before and adding lore saying how they were found out is like saying they didn't exist before. [edit] Considering I rp watermelons, lemons, cabages, elks, tomatoes, berries, deer, rabbits, bears, cinnamon, oranges, moles, monkeys, will that make them disapear and lore made for their new existance if any of them are made in MC mechanics? [edit2] Also, the arcane mages that produce animals make snakes, frogs, rats, etc. Any of them can maybe be done in a future upgrade of MC, and there shouldn't be new lore for it because... well... they already existed.

Again, why is there lore for potatoes and bats? They already existed before, we now just have something to rp it with.

I always rp'ed there always being these vegetables in LOTC, and I rp many more. I don't think any lore is needed for them, they have just always existed.

Sure, meet the Cannibal, I want to see how you imagine them :P Also here, some other ideas Meet the Scribe Meet the Librarian Meet the Blacksmith Meet the Jester Meet the Graveyard keeper (I forgot the name)

Meet the Priest, aka religious freak Meet the Cook, which is a cannibal Meet the Pumpkin seller.

I actually want to ask, How many times has Meta fought against armored people and won? And won I mean, won, not escaped with life. And Meta is getting weaker... Becoming a business man, pff.

Ah perfect, I will use a lot of ideas from that, thank you Cappy ^_^

I do not know where to start looking for it, but I thank you for stating it. Is it in the lore of their deities?
