[quote=@Ariamis] Well geez, I didn't expect you to get this pissy about it. I didn't intend to use it on every encounter, just the more tougher ones, and I just suggested the use of the skill to the jungle party in case they wanted it. But since you're going to nerf it to oblivion like that I guess there's no point then. I can accept that some groups like trolls are as intelligent as humans, but making all non-human groups as smart as humans in terms of intelligence seems too extreme of a measure to prevent Nazr from using the skill. [/quote] I wasn't getting pissy about anything, and I have certainly not Nerfed it. However, I admittedly perhaps had a wrong choice of wording there. By 'Non-humans' I meant anything humanoid, with a mouth, that can talk in some manner, and isn't some sort of mindless beast. Kobolds, 'Jungle Trolls', Goblins...this has all been planned before Nazr was even made. I find that making all non-humans 'unintelligent' is rather boring, and also rather extreme makes for interaction with them usually devolve into fighting. While fighting [i]is[/i] going to be a main focus of this RP, it's also exploration and discovery...which also includes mingling with other races of humanoid people. You yourself are the one who gave it the limitation of it not affecting creatures of human level intelligence, and if you [i]hadn't[/i] given it that limitation I would have just said straight up no since any sort of direct mind control is completely off limits in my opinion. [quote=@Ariamis] [@Superman] This is how I was planning to go about this; Nazr would never order a suicide, but maybe direct the creature(s) towards a different objective that fits with their state of mind, or just stay in a trance-like state so he could feed on a living brain or two. But I think basic kobolds at the very least should be considered less intelligent than humans; elite kobolds and chieftains can be smarter. [/quote] We'll just have to agree to disagree there. [@Superman] Additionally, what Supes here said. It won't be complete mind control, but against certain animals and beasts of higher-intelligence, but (not quite up there on the human spectrum) it will definitely give them 'suggestions' and hinder them in some way.
