Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jago" data-source="post: 6985584" data-attributes="member: 6855130">It would be quite prudent to tuck said holy symbol under your collar, or at least have it hidden in some other way. The Magi worship one religion, Magic, and would rather The City worship them. The people haven't heard the voice of the Gods, if there are even any left that care after The Great End, in quite some time. While there may still be dilapidated temples and churches, you'll not find anyone that actually visits them for anything more than respite from the sun.To be fair, this idea could be replicated with maybe someone whom had their free will eroded by The Magi and was forced to do their bidding, but for some reason that control is now broken?I've debated this internally, long hours sitting and staring into my fireplace with a glass of brandy in my hand as the flames reflected the madness inherent in my own design. Was I truly running the game? Or was the game running me?In all severity, my current idea is that arms and armor are generally considered legal and carrying a sword or wearing mail is not looked upon as too odd ... mostly because The Magi literally dgaf. Their golems are far more powerful than some blade or arrow, their servants are far too numerous for them to care if some vigilante cuts down a few in a fit of anger. In a way, it shows precisely how in control The Magi are: the citizens being armed does not frighten them in any way, shape, or form, and the majority of the populace knows this. They keep daggers, swords, and crossbows around for personal defense (there are still thieves and gangs and such, after all), but they feel that these weapons are useless against what oppresses them.The UA is the same as the SCAG variant, just you don't get the Bonus Spells. At least, I believe that is the case, someone please correct me if I missed something.I do like this: someone willingly abandoning The Magi not out of anger or fear but out of understanding that what they're doing is deeply wrong, and not wanting to be a part of that system. Very Iroh indeed, using those skills to assist those he once oppressed. I dig.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Seems we have quiiiite a few concepts kicking around, far more than I thought I would originally ._. Seeing as I did not expect this sort of response and was only looking for 3 players initially, I'm considering splitting this up: taking 3 players to add to the group of Foxbytes, Queenie, and Fenris, and then taking the rest in a separate version of the game (maybe even have some crossover potential at some point). Most of the concepts are pretty damn good so if that jives with everyone, we'll have this going in 2 different threads so everyone gets a chance to play.</blockquote>
