[QUOTE="engrishonly, post: 5423816, member: 38460"] Cool. I'm going to number them to facilitate discussion... 1) Much nicer! Specificity helps me a lot. Questing for specifics is much better for me. I can already see the potential sources for this. 2) It's okay. Not enough conflict in it. I think it's necessary to have a Belief about another character, or about the party. This might require more info about Vellekhyr. For instance, does the Elf approve of Ferrantos' harvesting of brains & parts from the slain? 3) Love this one. If the half-brother Auromos had a bigger role in the setting/situation, then it would be even cooler. As he is, (a minor NPC), he could be a Knight, stationed at the Keep. 4) Kind of works, and could be a solid 3rd Belief. If it ties to the situation, or a relationship, then it would be stronger. It's also a little broad. Keep it razor sharp, "I will lie under these circumstances" or "I will steal under these conditions". "Noblemen took my heritage, so I will never willingly speak truth to nobles", ferinstance. Then the Arthas triggers will be clear, and I can't ignore the thing that is happening. 5) Is kind of nebulous for my tastes, and the skill thing maybe works better in Instincts. 1) Solid. 2) So Ferrantos needs the brains of a sharp enemy? It's cool, but I think the Belief is enough. This might handcuff you with too much specificity (only when you have a corpse of an enemy). 3) It can work. I think it might help to have a temporal trigger. "Before the evening meal" or "When seated in front of a fire" or something. 4) Great. This works well in a group with religious tendencies. 5) Sleep is cool, but only if you think it's a problematic thing. 6) I like #4 better. Using the advice from the AdBu, #1 & #3 & #4 are the types of things you should have. [/QUOTE]
