Well, lol, yes, true. It would be easier to reconcile if you'd not interacted with anyone else yet, I guess, but meh.

Man, Lucas is a dick >.>

Next post, he's gonna be out like a light, even if Forest miraculously (and unrealistically) backs off.

Working on my second character.

Might I just go back to something for a second: while Divine Protection does protect against faery illusions and whatnot, that description is not actually on the character sheet so Satoshi shouldn't have seen Jack, because it doesn't say he could anywhere on the sheet. Which was one thing a bunch of people agreed on and I was insistent about.

Edit your sheets, Lantz. Put descriptions behind certain things so people know what they do, or don't complain when people say you can't do something that the sheet doesn't say you can.

I sometimes worry about putting too much detail in my sheets, then I remember more detail is better than none.

And yeah, there are things that can be easily inferred (you can probably assume a powerful mage is at the very least reasonable, if not great at sensing magic and supernatural powers being used), but others need to be clearly defined, or at least expanded upon.
[13:38:37] Helligator: Depends on the god, but gods by definition in Nasuverse are strong because they have divine authority.
[13:38:48] Kat: Even the toilet god?
[13:38:56] Helligator: No one worships toilets.
[13:39:00] Helligator: Don't be a shitlord.

[04:32:08] Helligator: I can't make dragons in power armor like this

[19:50:12] francobull III: [...] why are you being all assive aggressive?

[23:32:37] Helligator: use the narrative as a means to convey an interesting story and cool conflicts with the openness you're allowed
[23:32:43] Helligator: not to CHEAT stories and conflicts

In this case it wasn't his magus status that allowed his detection, but rather a very specific gimmick.

One with no explanation and just a title. Oh, and the way he got it.

It doesn't beg clarification, it demands it. We can't have stuff like this appear out of nowhere when it's convenient more than it already has, because the last few times(Raul sneak attack, for example) there were justified calls of "bullshit", and nobody likes a shitstorm.

Which was one thing a bunch of people agreed on and I was insistent about.

Well, by that definition Toshi shouldn't be able to do just about anything, because it's not explained in enough detail on his sheet. Which, yes, does imply he should give more detail....

well obviously not dumbshit stuff like "breathing" and "eating", or the extensive list of spells he's capable of, but at LEAST what is already there should be, you know, actually explained. There are a bunch of random titles on the Satoshi sheet, for example, that have no explanation whatsoever.

Like divine protection.

Are my profiles good? I think I don't really need to explain much about Caster but the other 5 are a little vague as to what they can do.

Caster's the only one with random titles with no explanation, but everyone knows how she works already. Just in case someone later comes along who doesn't though, just be prepared to edit/explain on demand.

I mean we never know, right? Tsuki-only fans exist.

Somewhere.

To Bloble: I'm sorry this one took so long. It gave me writer's block from hell to figure out how to word and order everything.

To everyone else: I'll respond to whatever I might be involved in that needs me to respond, shortly.

Completely off topic, but on topic for what's going on already: Yeah, better not to just assume that everyone has read the fine details of Caster's abilities.

Yes, you did, and I really like how you handled him. 8D


Speaking of characters, I have seven sheets made already. And two as work in progress. 0.õ

That moment when you realize you're that MMO player that makes as many characters of different Race/Class combinations as possible and then only really plays two or three of them.

Other than divine protection and immunity to the elements being somewhat less than optimally explained the rest seems straight forward
