[QUOTE="Graf, post: 4243222, member: 3087"] the daze doesn't have to be practical for everyone. I meantioned (or meant to) a person who endlessly circumnavigates the boundary as a possible PC. Scavengers like old hook or people like your friend who moves rocks around or Jeillia all perform actions that are incomprehensible. There are lots of non-window washer options. I dislike "ruling" per se. I prefer discussion and agreement but currently I think you can have someone whose daze has them going into peoples houses and "wakes up" weeks later having pretended to be their younger son. I think that's pretty horrifying. As people get their heroic souls activated (get touch with their inner hero) they'll become more resistant to the daze. Having your character suddenly become vulnerable doesn't fit that. It also doesn't match your backstory or at least it brings up other questions like 1) why can't you remember your parents? Is there another "forgetfulness inducing effect"? 2) other people's backstories include missing siblings you being immune to the daze would remember them 3) the boundary and the daze are, to my mind, linked. If they aren't linked (because one effects you but not another) then why? 4) the daze acts as a sort of barrier to contacting your heroic soul. And the heroic soul is what allows someone to shake off the daze. Logically you'd be a thief level X already and have been for years. Sorry if some of that's incoherent. If you want a "ruling" my inclination would be to say "I think we can do everything you talked about already without your character being 'the one person who's immune' " I wanted to say that *I appreciate you working things like old hook in that makes it much easier for me *I think everything else looks good (your geeche item AND seeing green eyes together was a cool touch) *it seems likely to me that you an Karothen would know each other, possibly very well.
