Exexcrucication - a NOBILIS PbP

[Timeboxer]

Hey, J -- how about asking Mamba where it is, and then using a Lesser Creation of Passageways to create a one-way passage to outside the place?

I've been reading up on the air support mentioned in the "example of play" and I think it is not clear if it's a BG. Anyway, to have your BG help you outside chancel borders, you need to revoke their bane status. And at most, they will help you close to the chancel exit.

I'm not clear as to why the BG and the Bane are the same. Couldn't my BG be more like knights than barbarians? (if that's the tech level we're going for)

 

[Jdvn1]

yes, Lesser creation is what I think, too.
I am trying to make the high cost worthwhile.
Or it is a BG with Lesser Creations.

All right, could I start creating stuff like that in my spare time, then?

Well, I think he's gone and stepped throught he portal already, but sophist hasn't quite gotten to him, so I'm not sure. If I can ask him, though, that's a good idea.

 

[Jdvn1]

Oh, and you shouldn't have the Borderguard Penetration (+1) in the Chancel. Since we don't have Corinthi, we don't get that +1.

Yes. that's the power of high realm. with enough effort, you can change the face of the chancel.

Like the Duke of shadows can make it gloomy everywhere.

he, seems I have to put some deep thoughts into lesser creation this weekend.

Of course your BG can be knights, the barbarian idea just was stuck in my head.

I also figured that the shadow passage way needn#t be a major creation, but more cheaply a lesser change. or amy suggested an alternative. my RL players never challegend me that way. but i like it.

Jdvn1, if I may, since our Chancel is mostly a wild place, maybe Rangers would be slightly more appropriate than knights.

A few questions as I slowly begin to understand the rules:

Is there any way my gift of Gatemaking could help Mamba with his portal?

Are our chars supposed to learn about Alchemy? That interests me a lot both IC and OOC

Comes from being a D&D rules lawyer. >.> I see it as a Lesser Change of Shadows, too, though -- it folds in a Lesser Destruction of Shadows, or at least the part of shadows that makes them discrete and non-connected, and it's a Lesser Change to allow you to walk into them.

At least, that's one way to think of it. I think this kind of thing is fun. ^.^;

Also, I can imagine rangers as "knights of the wild," obeying a kind of "natural law" that speaks of honor and justice and worth for all life, and so on...

I think that's a good compromise. I was thinking knights because that's more in line with my character. I don't recall what code our imperator follows, though. My character is the Code of Light, not of the Wild, so rangers aren't the flavor per se. Otherwise, I'd also be okay with a mix of knights and rangers.

I thought you followed the Code of Heaven?
