Istoria: Generic Humanocentric Game - [Was Elements of Magic]

[GlassEye]

Thanks.

I was really uncertain whether to use charisma or wisdom as the primary ability. It's a spiritual tradition and so wisdom is important yet the tradition deals with interaction with the spirits and influencing men which gives charisma a strong claim. Really, I think both should be considered primary abilities. If that's possible.

Excellent work genshou and GlassEye!

I didn't do much, just rewrote a few small bits in the Ragesian Inquisitors text.

 

[genshou]

Anesha Rali
The third child of the head of the Rali family, Anesha was born into luxury and prestige. From an early age, however, it was evident she was unusual in some way. She possessed an uncanny ability to get others to do what she wanted. This was identified quickly as a sign of magic, and she was given to Echevarria, a longtime friend of the family and a powerful Inquisitor. Echevarria was a harsh man, but was always kind to Anesha. He taught her everything she knows about Inquisition, and perhaps a bit more than that.

Anesha spent most of her time studying spells rather than the dusty tomes of knowledge the Inquisitors keep within their tower. She is brilliant but easily bored by anything but spellbooks. When not studying, she spent a great deal of time being trained to maintain her courtly manners. For fun, she typically walked through the gardens of various manors in Kol Hoth. She has always enjoyed springtime for the fragrant scents of the season, as well as the beautiful displays of blossoms.

When her training was complete, Anesha began travelling about the Empire, practicing her trade. She mainly deals in interrogation, letting more powerful Inquisitors catch magic users. Recently she has been communicating with the other Inquisitors less and less, as though she has her own agenda…

I know it's kind of bare-bones, but she has her secrets and I'm helping her keep them.

Anesha is just about finished (assuming the site comes back online to let me save the final changes). I still need equipment approved (w/ or w/o alteration) and to write out all her signature spells.

 

[GlassEye]

Hmm...I've just realized that I selected three of the same spell lists as you, genshou.

 

[Ferrix]

Hmm...I've just realized that I selected three of the same spell lists as you, genshou.

Similar spell lists aren't a problem since spells are much more custom to the character anyways.

 

[GlassEye]

Ok.

Also, I just thought of a good/appropriate use of Charm Humanoid for a Clan of the Bear warrior. I've added it to the spell list but if you prefer that I not, I'll remove it.

 

[GlassEye]

In the interest of a wee bit more variety I've made another change to the Clan of the Bear spell list. Instead of 'Abjure Nature' I altered it to read 'Abjure Nature or Metal'. Again, if that's not ok, let me know.

 

[genshou]

Ok.

There are a lot of good uses for that spell list! I've got three signature spells using it

 

[GlassEye]

Too true. But I meant more that I thought of a way that a somewhat honor-bound northern warrior would use it without feeling that he did something wrong. 'Cept I won't be able to use it until my pc reaches at least caster level one.


Ok. I think this the final version of my character...
