OOC - [Epic] Scions of the Endless Falls - Full

[Kelleris]

My first formulation of it in words didn't precisely come out as I had wanted it, but this above is more of what I meant.

Fair enough.

Nevermind. Not worth further discussion.

Dang. Now I'm all curious.

All I'm trying to say is that my character saw a debate (beginning), had an idea, and made a very good speech on the subject. I have no idea why everything I do is such cause for discussion around here... :\

 

[Kelleris]

If you build it, they will come...

Now, Isida, must we go the movie-quote route for divinations?

Is Arion's view a reasonable one? (We know practically nothing OOC.) It's a sort of variation on Athar philosophy that I thought would be interesting. I doubt very much Arion would hold a view unsupported by anything, but you've not given us much to work with as of yet.

It's not like nobody ever changes their minds on these matters anyway, and I imagine anyone who gets through an event like this without at least slightly re-evaluating their beliefs about the gods is a fool or extremely biased.

Unfortunately for you, clerics ARE "extremely biased".

I have no idea why everything I do is such cause for discussion around here...

The answer to the second one is simple. In my RP experience, there are three things that either GM or PCs can do which will cause others to speak up strongly (or maybe even argumentatively). They are:

1. Make another PC feel worthless.
2. Control another PC's reaction through rolls.
3. Killing/stealing/otherwise "injuring" another PC.

I think that your questions about blindsight/blindsense/scent struck people on causes 1 and 3 to a certain extent (or at least, held insinuations in line with causes 1 and 3). Your current point is smack dab in the middle of cause 2. Stay away from those and there would probably be less "discussion".

 

[Kelleris]

That's funny, since I stressed both IC and OOC that I wasn't trying to do #2, and carefully explained my reasons for doing what I did from the mechanical, roleplaying, and practical standpoints. What does it take to convince you people?

1. Make another PC feel worthless.

Yes. I do feel worthless when a 100k item prevents me from sneaking up on a bloody psion, when that's exactly my specialty.

Well, Caira admitted that it was premise many theologians argue and give it at least the full weight of other thinkers...which I thought was appropriate, given the circumstances.

The answer is simple...not doing it. People are a untrustworthy bunch! Especially, when they come to the Internet

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

Now, Isida, must we go the movie-quote route for divinations?

Dude, Ferrix's character is called The Architect, how could I not? Besides, I wanted to convey something of that nature, and that quote is just so appropriate and delightfully cryptic...

 

[Wrahn]

Kelleris-

You used alter self to disguise yourself, Rahveon has a permanent True Seeing. Of course he saw through it.

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

Gentlemen, another bout of two-page rules discussions and I shall scream. I know you were all trying to clarify a gray area, and I do appreciate that, but this is becoming a habit. If you have a question, post it simply, and I shall make a ruling. Let us get on with the game, shall we?

 

[Ferrix]

That pained me... and then I laughed... or was it the other way around. Isida, I own that movie, not the one related to the Architect (and I actually didn't even think of the name relating to that movie until someone else mentioned it)... *sigh*

True... true... we build it, the nasties come to wipe us off the face of the growing world, or so I presume or something like that. Bummer that I'm going to probably have to burn 1000xp to start it growing if my thought that Genesis is the way to go, unless you all want to invest some energy in it. Hrmmm...
