Tbh I always had this silly idea of making a TV Tropes Page since some RPs have it... but my life is a trainwreck and I never have time for that kind of stuff.
Edit: but as I understand it, what you're stabbing at is a 'Sidekick' mechanism which would reflect the 'Order' mechanism but only in one indivudual, right? So that one individual would be exceptionally exceptional.


Pretty much. Two characters to be specific, each one having a signature skill/spell that felt like it needed some khookies to justify it.
@Kho Yeah, I understand someone doesn't need a boost to be exceptional, Phantasmagoria had a lot of that (back then) and Salassar is that too, but I felt that when magic and trade skill comes into play things become more of a gray area that I wanted to clear out.

I would like to propose a new concept for the hero system: Sidecking... Ok, in a correct term: To train a single individual instead of an entire society.

So, while planning out some posts I have noticed the way I was dealing with situations where a hero needed some back up to complete a task was usually just to use the khookies to teach an ideology or create an order.

Example: Patty the magical baker needs to deliver a lot of cake before the weekend, so she creates the Society of Patisseriemancy to get enough bakers to do it.

But you know, maybe I didn't want to change the entire society just to get a helper, maybe I just wanted a robin to my batman without turning the entire town into a bunch of cosplayers.

Furthermore, I just felt uncomfortable, as in, getting too much of out too little khookies. For example, Susa's shamans (a plot from the far far future), despite being a holy order born from a holy order, still felt a bit like abuse if I don't spend some more khookies to justify how good some individuals are at the thing (while still being far, far from heroes).

And honestly, I was planning on using Khookies like that anyway, since well, if someone can teach a town they sure can teach 3 people how to do a thing with excellence. But I think it's always better to talk these things out, even more if it could lead to a more formal take on the issue. :>

Ironically Vetros is super zealous even though Zeph is gone.

Over in the Vetruvian kingdom, anybody that worships gods other than Zephyrion might be called a witch.


For real? That is Mahdness.

Heh.

I probably should try to get something going on around there, even if it is just a gift in jewelry and monument building. In fact, I really should check culture for the civs Ilunabar has ignored.
@Kho Uh... The one you liked is the very first one and also the one I was referring to...

...

On a sidenote, I'm doing some deep research to improve my English.

@Kho Why not? Magical and religious terms are pretty much open ground at the moment. Priestess, witch, oracle, sorceress or even Mahou Shoujo Beruru-chan.

Kinda reminds me of the whole fox shaman discussion Susa had with Lakshmi on the boat.

On a side note, it is totally fine for Ilunabar to work with ants right? The spires, I mean, Pictaraika is full of those and all that....

I mean, don't you think they fall under the domain of beauty?

Yep! Kunonok found a beehive on Tira's day out with him, Tyufik and Lonar. Tira suggested they light a fire to subdue the bees and try to get some honey. Lonar, rightfully, knuckled her on the head for being a dumbfuck, because Tira should never be trusted with bees. Or anything else dangerous, really.


Ok, so instead of making bees from ants I will take average bees and make them ░s░p░e░c░i░a░l░
Has there ever been any reference to bees in any post whatsoever?

Could you give me a template of the file instead of me just sending a transcript or something :>. I have no idea how python works but I did a lot of modding plus some Javascript stuff in the past so it shouldn't be hard to make my own files.
