Null, if a person sticks out a flint and steel to start a fire that's just a plain stupid way to go about doing it- unless you mean in a mechanical fight. And regardless, I have a feeling the Grave Lords would just strafe. The problem wouldn't really resurface. Wraith attacks abundant recently? Carry around sticks wrapped thickly in flammable cloth and a flint and steel wherever you go.

tl;dr: A lot of people are turned off by spook RP as isMaking it mandatory for us to find clerics/paladins/fi-mages would stagnate RP for us more than it would bring RP to clerics/paladins/fi-magesBeing powerful is fine, being invincible is notIF wraiths are damaged by fire, that's good. But then when people find out IC, everyone will start carrying around flint&steel and the overarching problem resurfaces, no?Wanting to be un-killable to all but certain magic holders is selfish. All other "top most powerful forms" in other schools of magic (itharel, ascended, paladin keepers and hierophants) can be killed conventionally.And most importantly, Nerf golden weapons so they're as effective against spooks as iron is against humans. Its a compromise and it fixes the problem of gold being the "kryptonite" of the wraith while also giving non-holy folks a fighting chance.

I don't know TBH. But if you made gold ineffective on wraiths everyone would just start carrying around lighter fluid or flint&steel and then another lore post would go up explaining why fire doesn't work on wraiths.

Hard but not impossible. What Swgr proposes makes them impossible for non-holy or fi magic users to kill, and that's just not good. See above for reasons why.

Recall though Leo. There can only be four wraiths at any given time. No more. You aren't fighting a mage, you're fighting something that has transcended mortality. The effectiveness of gold is neat, but I like the opportunity to reach out to your fellow mages, the clerics and paladins and make them actually relevant again. Those are magic types which at the moment are losing traction due to lack of threats. Giving them something they can hard-counter and have to be sought out for generates roleplay. You can still get a weapon that can be used to bastry a wraith you just have to seek a fi, cleric or paladin magic user out. I like that, it makes special weapons special again. Speaking as someone who's been in many wraith fights, having to seek out a cleric/paladin/fi-mage is vastly more annoying than it is RP generating. From the fact that the chances of a cleric being online at the time and place a wraith is around doing his wraithey stuff is simply very slim, to the fact that "we need to get someone else to come do this thing for us!" is simply not engaging or interesting RP. On paper, this would give holy orders more RP, but in reality it'd just be a lot of "PM to see if any clerics are online, theres a wraith in town. No? ****." Those holy orders have their advantage. they're far more effective against dark beings than non-holy people are. But that doesnt mean us average-joes should have absolutely no chance in the event we lack a cleric/paladin. I'm sorry, but if the tradeoff of Wraiths being invicible to non-holy folks is their rarity...that just isnt represented in RP. Wraith attacks are a dime-a-dozen. There've been two in the last two days in Laurelin. The "we're rare, so we're much more powerful" argument doesn't hold up if your attacks are as frequent -and by extension mundane- as other groups. Additionally, Itharels, Keepers and Ascended have also transcended mortality and are very rare, and they can all be killed via conventional stabby stabby.

If that's the case, then instead of making gold useless on wraiths, simply make it less effective on them than it currently is. A good scale to go by would be that gold weapons are as effective on dark beings as steel is on humans (i.e Witcher logic). That way, to mortals with gold weapons, fighting a wraith is the equivalent of fighting a very powerful mage, as opposed to fighting something that literally cannot be killed. Expecting to be more powerful than that is a little unsportsmanlike IMO. Every other school of magic allows you to become immensely powerful, but still killable by conventional means, or if ganged up on with superior numbers. Wraiths should be no different.

Because Wraiths are host to a bevy of spells, draining techniques and other powerful things that make it immensely more powerful than a mortal, even if said mortal has a golden sword. In a 1v1 of a wraith V random peasant with gold, chances are, the wraith wins. You should stop thinking of gold as the kryptonite that once pulled out marks an automatic loss for all things dark and evil. Instead, most of us who have to regularly fight dark beings see it as something that somewhat levels the playing field and makes Wraiths a challenge to kill instead of being downright impossible to kill if we dont have Holy buddies in the area.

No thank you. I think dark beings have enough immense power without taking away the only thing normal people have a hope of killing them with. I highly dissaprove of needing to have a cleric, paladin or ascended around to even have a chance against a wraith/lich/w.e. Its reasonable to expect these beings to be powerful, yes. But invincible against everyone except a minority of people with a few special magic types? Definitely not. Making your wraith unkillable in RP without a fi' mage or holy magic user will only prompt you to get PVP defaulted more. All in all, a strong -1. Sorry.

This is creative, and it's clear a lot of work was put into this. But unfortunately as far as I know the LT is never going to accept vampires or werewolves, though I could be wrong. Don't get discouraged though, the media team could use someone like you, you should consider applying.

To put it bluntly; You are not special and your character is not special. That's not a dig at you, its a plain truth that applies to 95% of characters on LOTC. We exist in a world that is already built for us. every famous or infamous character who ever existed got that way because he made a name for himself by working within the confines of what is already in this world. In short, while there's nothing wrong with creating your own works and being creative, that's more suited for your own personal projects. This is a server that already has rules, settings and a theme in place and it is on us RP based on what is already there rather than write in artificial reasons to make us special snowflakes. If you choose to write more lore after this, all the power to you. But it should be something that adds to the world as a whole, not something that serves to empower you and a small group of your friends and shoehorn yourselves into standing out over the crowd.
