I'm very back and forth on the additions itself. As per everything you right, it is well written, balanced, and interesting. The only problem I honestly have is more of an overall lore issue, I suppose. I don't really think every magic needs an endgame, and I don't think every magic requires consistent additions. But considering this was made with the intent of clearing up an addition made by the LT that was apparently poorly done, I suppose the second point really doesn't matter. Also, I know of two practicing Thallassos users, one of which leaves me questioning whether or not the magic is being handled properly, so until the magic is properly spread, are more additions necessary? This isn't like any shade thrown at you, I think it's well written and super interesting and if the magic is being handled properly, it would probably be an amazing addition to the server. I guess I would like to be convinced it's wholly necessary? Not that I need to be convinced, I'm a normal pleb, not an LT. It would just put muh poor soul at ease, I suppose.

I +1 this because wards are **** rp, but as long as the rp behind spooks are bad, this wouldn't hurt. Not being able to walk into active cities to RP altogether because of a ward is a little gay.

This idea doesn't seem horrible. I mean, I'm not involved in the necromancer clique so I don't know exactly what is going on between all the groups. Hunter's meme is ******* fantastic, and I support it wholeheartedly from the meme perspective. But from a player who wants to see better magic RP, better antag RP, and a lack of OOC decision making bleeding into RP (which we are all in one way or another guilty of), this is a good way of handling it. Allowing the players to manage their creations in character, rather than throwing ALL the work onto staff teams is nice. I think a mix of in and out of character management is required for roleplay to not be ****.

Lemme see them screens though. Someone has to be wrong.

Oh yeah, RP on both sides of the spectrum is pretty miserable. To be honest with you, RP as a whole on the standard right now isn't at it's best outside of the slice of life genre. I think it's important all forms of roleplay are experienced in any community, because it makes the community dynamic. But due to what I consider poor moderation of magic and combat roleplay as a whole, most players would rather roleplay out a relationship rather than conflict. And I understand why. Having been on both sides of the spectrum, I know full well where each portion is lacking and where each is strong. The means of fixing them though would cause the server to implode, so it's a rip moment. As for the accusation I'm tossing at spooks, I do it because I feel it's necessary. I believe the spook roleplayers have a much higher standard individually, but when they come together, they become flaming retards trying to just cuck and meme other people. Characters like Orsul for example are phenomenal, but when you put him next to the majority of his undead forces, the standard decreases drastically. I point out the spook RP because I think the spooks have more responsibility overall towards the server dynamic. Most spook creatures and magics are practically event creatures/magics. When you have the means of creating a small army and invading a village or town, you simply are more responsible for the standard of RP. I have more faith in the spooks to fix the standard than I do the holy guys, for obvious reason. Also, don't be afraid to name drop Kary.

Wards are bad RP in general. I imagine most people would be willing to drop wards in general if spook RP wasn't also terrible.

Hello denizens of Lord of the Craft! I've recently come to the conclusion I'd like to have a few different skins for my character, rather than just one. Considering he is currently garbed in casual wear everywhere he goes, I'd find it more interesting and immersive if I can get something made for him that includes armor on the skin. My character, Skale, isn't one to wear a full set of plate armor, so it wouldn't be a skin entirely armored. But rather it would have a breastplate to cover the chest, preferably of the metal kind obviously. Likely a gambeson beneath it as well. Aside from that, there would be a vambrace as well as pauldron on the right arm. That would be the extent of the armor, the rest of the skin would be some generic clothing to go along with the setup. If you're interested, please throw me a private message or comment on the thread and I'll send a message myself. Thanks for your time!

Smaw, I would never argue that weaknesses aren't a good thing, honestly. I just feel as if the decay is extreme for the physical body. I do stand by the idea that the first iteration of Dark Shamanism as a whole was pretty good, but it was definitely lacking in some areas, which this has done a great job altering. I am just unsure if the progression of overall decay of the character is reasonable. But I can see the roleplay possibilities, so I wouldn't damn the magic personally for it.

This formatting is phenomenal. When it gets fixed up I'll give it a hearty read, but the art is rather interesting. My biggest complaint is the obscene amount of physical deformation the dark shamans will face. It feels as if a mix of necromancy and mysticism is occurring here, in terms of physical qualities once the magic has been practiced long enough. I believe it is important for mostly all magics to weaken the character in one way or another, but this seems a little obscene.

If being an Orc was more fun than being an Honorary Orc, I totally would be. But considering all the cool stuff Azel did as an honorary, I wouldn't give that up.

I don't see why my Honorary Uruk, Azel'Braduk couldn't wear these suits of armor. He a strong boi.

Skale wanders through the Cloud Temple humming a soft tune, his eyes peering about the area. His gaze is drawn to a notice board which he soon approaches. Stepping up to the board he lowers the hood that was covering his head, the snow falling away from the article of clothing. His eyes scan the various notices and papers pinned to the board until he eventually stops on the wanted notice. He rips it from the board, his eyes darting across the paper as he reads it quickly. The redheaded elf folds up the piece of paper and slides it within his pack. "Interesting, Damien's a chimera, huh? You think you know someone and over a century later they turn out to be a murderer. Sad times." Skale meanders off, humming as he goes.

+1 It feels as if this was designed for the low fantasy cucks who can't handle high fantasy RP. Good work, sweet boi.

What has driven you to a life of being a cuckold?

I was literally going through the lore wondering why the **** they were so weak. This is a good way to tip it back so rather than being relatively shitty, aside from interesting RP development, to a balanced character option. +1 to the Furry Lord.

I don't know anything about the Azdrazi, but I find most things I see in relation to them to be rather interesting. If this is being used to get rid of something that's rather OP, that's great. I wouldn't see it as a lore bloat. Well written.

No, that's not what I'm saying. My logic is literally stating the MT and veteran players who have any level of magic control in RP should be working together, to ensure the highest standard of RP. When dark arts were OOC gate kept by the likes of Tsuyose, Slic3man, etc., the magic was well roleplayed and the standard of magic was much higher. I personally believe having people to manage it together, with the MT, would help. And I hate to say it, but a clique based system of control creates a higher standard.

Relying on the staff alone to manage this server is a bad idea. For a lot of reasons. More likely than not, there are people on the teams that are less than capable, and I highly doubt a lot of these people are dedicating as much effort is necessary considering they aren't getting paid for it. Letting the veteran members of the community who are more than capable to manage roleplay oriented things, in character, would help the roleplay itself run more smoothly.
