You’re taking this out of context and nitpicking. I clearly implied healing as the narrative of my response, something which you seem to have ignored. I also find it interesting you didn’t respond to my reference of Holy Healing users in Haense collaborating without issue of roleplay being killed. I also haven’t seen you produce any evidence to back your claims, whereas I have produced evidence to back mine. Again, you’re exploiting context. I wasn’t talking about self regeneration in the particular quote you responded to. Rather, I was talking about healing magic being applied to someone else. Instead of actively responding to this, you scribbled over it and branded my response as something else entirely. I made an explaination into why Holy Healing isn’t God’s revelation and why it isn’t perfecto in every given situation. Learn how to debate. Ah, but you were in fact the one who brought up this argument. As cited below: Though I will give you the benefit of the doubt given as you did mention that this was a different argument. However, I find it interesting and painstakingly hilarious that you seek to say my response is irrelevant despite the fact it was a legitimate response to one of your own. Manipulating the argument and then taking a 180 turn just makes you look like a condescending fool and reduces your legitimacy to rubble. Oh, I did read the responses, and you once again appear to have little to no justification into why you think this way, nor evidence to back your claims other than some steep hatred for healing. Ascended don’t regenerate like Deadpool or Wolverine for God’s sake. I made a point on how regeneration is a common occurrence in many kinds of magic. How am I meant to roleplay healing myself when I’m sitting casually in a deserted RP hub with no one there to respond or view my roleplay? Do I go to a nation where potentially the roleplay is hostile? Do I wander around searching for roleplay despite the fact I’m injured and trying to heal my wounds. If healing-regenerative roleplay is truly awful, why don’t you make an effort to inquire in roleplay with someone healing themselves and establish some context? But hey, at least you responded properly to what I actually said this time. I’d prefer if you took time looking into context with every response you make. It would make having debates with you all the more interesting and fun.

@ChonGojDragonskiYour claim that Holy roleplay kills mudane healing is blatantly false. Allow me to produce citation: In the Kingdom of Haense, we had an entire hospital with devoted mundane and alchemical roleplayers that would actively roleplay treating players who had been wounded. I myself witnessed roleplay such as people having their wounds sealed close, stitching, disinfecting and essentially the furthest you could go before your roleplay was considered too gory. Mundane healing roleplay did die in Haense however. This was not a result of healing roleplay, as we had both @Farryn and @EternalSaturnroleplaying there at said time without any issue. In fact, it died as a result of ooc intrigue inciting conflict to a nation which otherwise didn’t warrant it according to the current war rules. Though that’s a different topic. Basically, when the previous Haense leadership decided to enact an exodus and leave the server, the hospital roleplayers went with them. Farryn also pointed out that she used mundane healing prior to any attempt at applying healing roleplay, due to the fact healing magic takes time to conjure and apply. Situations where this doesn’t happen is once again a result of poor roleplay and powergaming, which happens in every form of roleplay. The reason we fundamentally don’t have enough mundane healers is because people don’t want to roleplay them. People would rather roleplay a Knight, a mage, a peasant or even a noble. Who are we to accuse a magic of causing something that actively is the fault of the playerbase as a whole. Also another point. PK clauses are bad. The idea that a character must be forcefully injured, mutilated and perm-killed takes away freedom of roleplay and literally allows the concept of OOC targeting to take a foothold. We know OOC targeting exists, so would you really want someone’s day to be ruined because another got a thrill out of removing his eyes from their sockets out of no where? Ascended aren’t the only ones who get passive self-healing. Liches, darkstalkers, striga and shades also have the ability to heal and regenerate damage. As Ascended are meant to combat said creatures, it makes sense they would be granted similar gifts in order to effectively use their healing abilities and not be trumped by a dark creature that could reappear with their arm reattached within any given time. Apologies for errors. Using mobile platform atm.

Much of the excuse behind the disapproval is not the fault of the magic itself, but rather the way it is used. Magic isn’t all about zapping your opponent or blasting someone with a beam of energy. Magic also involves creation, manipulation, alteration and restoration. Healing offers a unique side to magic roleplay and gives players a different style to play with. The downside to any mechanic is that someone will ultimately try to exploit or powergame. This happens whether it is magic, melee or creature roleplay. People need to realise that the magic isn’t at fault here but instead it’s the minority of people who give it a bad wrap. The Ascended for example do face the prospect of a price in using healing magic. They transfer the damage to themselves and depending on the severity of the wound; in some cases are unable to heal or otherwise may fatally damage themselves. Healing with an equivalent exchange policy already exists, we have a magic that uses it already. Witch-hunting holy magic won’t fix the issue. Everything can be powergamed or abused. Healing magic is but a snowflake in a tundra.

Finally, after waiting for so long!

Hansetians have always generally been associated and classified as Northerners, more often than the raevir are. I wouldn't consider them southerners.
