A mere child in the shadow of the Titan, and yet a chosen of the path of Strife, the Seven-Armed-Lord had gone fifty years without laying sight on the Swathed Girl. It remained oblivious to her ascent, or, as he would see it, her undoing. Among the last words he ever spoke to her, were: "I forgive you- as he would." The very last, were: "I hope to see you soon." But the Hells had taken their toll, long before Ruin became the meagre- the defeated. Upon the throne of Strife, whose essence now echoed into another continent, the Herald decreed: "From the moment the pact was signed... She was dead." Word would not reach him of what had transpired, but in the depths of his stony heart it would make no change. "Useful," he echoed, a failed approximation of her voice, "and nothing more."

Holy shit someone actually responding to the content of the pack instead of vagueposting about bad faith? In any event, I quite agree with this! I don't think most of this pack is pure buffs, a lot of it is lesser power increase. The spells that do take large buffs have drawbacks added (like a shorter range on vigorous blow, a shorter stun on fervent flare, etc). This amend-pack seems a lot more based around making playing as, OR AGAINST, a templar more fun. Even if I've had problems with many templar players, I like fun, and I like this pack. +1

With how rare current sapping is between different Mystic groups, considering how completely easy it is, I don't expect much to come of the change, in terms of bad faith. But I do think the possibility will lead to certain people being gatekept out of the community for fear they might "act naz-like" Idk; I think this is better than current but requires improvement. Weasel is making a handful of changes so I'll likely be quite happy with the finished product <3

I recognize that, yes. Opposing covens, then. Sentiment still remains, but thank you for the correction

I agree. This feels less like a mechanical fix for Wights' very real problem and more like allow mass production of wights to become a "main" or only significant mystic coven- and even if I benefit from that I don't like it The mention of how one "should" seek out destruction of other wights for being in other covens seems to me to confirm that, but as I don't know of any current phylac-hunting operations by existing wights I may just be paranoidposting

@Samson OptionI think it's a case of writers all assuming the other felt it best. I was of the assumption he felt it optimal for the lore to pass- and then may be amended, and I think he was of the assumption that I figured it would improve Dreadknights to rely on their special weapons. If it turns out we don't really think those things, it's not a necessary rule. In the morning we'll discuss removing it. I agree! I don't think that a set of admittedly nerfing changes should be a "punishment" to existing Paleknight players. I tried to word my thoughts on the purpose to avoid the really common accusation of "bad faithing" pales. I do NOT think that there's an issue of Paleknights over-powering themselves beyond what their lore allows. I DO think that the current lore simply leaves them very strong against mundane folks in a way that promotes spamming easier fights. Rather than place blame on specific names, I would give the example that I very infamously behaved this way, myself. Not to a level of powergaming, I took the advantages of Paleknights' state of balancing to be pretty exceptionally "strong", and until a few months in I never had anything I really did besides go and kill people. Of the Paleknights I've spoken to while writing, many felt a similar lack of "stuff to do", even if they behaved better than I did.

Hi my name's Hawkeye_Gough, you might know me from Dreadknights lore? heh.

Really impressive prose! +666

Julia Esther Sarkozic took notice of the missive, and cheered to herself as she read it. "I know that you will do wonderfully," she promised to her husband, and the two went to take tea in their dining room.

A perhaps inauspicious bid was left, carried by some unknown culprit to be placed upon each and every relevant noticeboard: "Ten mina and one very big hug." - Herlurazhna Garzu Zu'e, Pale Lord of the Hands.

The Custodian of the Seventh Synod read one of the missives found on the outer wall of their Tower... The outer wall, as no such witch, to his knowledge, had been allowed within. With a sigh, the Custodian rips up the missive and scatters it to the wind. They already met most of these requirements and had no ample need to fight over them, at least in his mortal mind.

Julia Sarkozic read the news as it was delivered to her writing desk. Lately, she had spent too much time at that same desk, and what she read gave her the need to step away, a short moment of rest which she had lately neglected to take. She took a moment, knelt before her bed, to thank GOD for ensuring the Duke's passing was painless and peaceful.

This would improve rp by ensuring that vampires have a way around meaningless salt-spam while also preserving a way to put them if they aren't careful. Good enough for me +100

An Uruk with hide the color of sunset kneels in an alleyway, gorging on the fetid flesh of some innocent Idunian. Wretched, burned fingers reach for the missive... "A master..." he says, to himself. "A need..." A blaze of Abyssfire obscures the Orc for a short moment, and as it fades there is no body nor wretched man. All that remains is the pig-faced visage of Akuma, as he makes for an aviary.

You deal with WHAT archers?
