Twin Infinities OOC

[Rystil Arden]

Oh this should be added to the nymph types.

Palmaids:
+2 Dex, -2 Int, +2 Wis, +4 Cha
Tropical and warm-hearted, Palmaids are Nymphs of the Palm Trees that grow
in exotic warm climates, and they are always energetic and passionate.
Palmaids who gain levels in Nymph gain the ability to surround themselves
in an aura of friendly warmth. They receive symbiosis from basking in the
warm sun underneath the refreshing shade of the palm tree, playing in piles
of coconuts, or rubbing fresh coconut milk into their skin. Palmaids often
have green or brown hair, although sometimes they have a golden-red hair
colour reminiscent of the warm sun of the tropics. Eyes are usually green,
brown, or blue.

Don't forget to add in: Tall for Nymphs, Palmaids can sometimes stand as high as six feet.

Is your Valsian from Arris or from Eldiz for purposes of gear? If from Eldiz, you will get more money but things cost more. If from Arris, you will have to pay super-extra through-the-nose if you want Rowaini Quicksteel (though of course you can buy Energyjewel equipment for good discount prices as well as get Psionic Items )

Why do I think that in order to truely understand the economics of your spheres, you need to know some calculus?

Yes, that too. where did you want me to insert it?

Before the hair and eye colours could be cool

I think it’s beyond calculus... I had some of that in high school and I find myself mostly lost in all of this.

I doubt it Calculus is really pretty useless for economics.

Once you learn differential equations, those are more useful, but basic Calculus probably won't help (Econ is mostly simple math applied in a confusing fashion)

Oops, you beat me to it

Cool.

From Arris, for all purposes I guess, so no quicksteel for me.

What is Energyjewel equipment? How much discount would she get on that and on psionic items?
What about normal (SRD) magical and non-magical items? Standard price for that?
And how much money/wealth does she get?
--

What are the age categories of Valsians? What languages do they tend to learn? How free or opressive is their society (for young upper class citizens)? How cosmopolitical is their world?
Questions, questions.

And quantum mechanical economic chaos theory. But really, I like that there's some complexity to the system. Makes it feel more real.

Energyjewel equipment is made of blends of expensive jewels treated magically and psionically. The type each Valsian uses depends on their Gem Affinity (and thus hair colour). An Energyjewel weapon of the correct gem type deals 1d6 extra damage for each attack if the wielder pays 1 Power Point per attack, Energyjewel Shields of the correct gem type gain a +1 unnamed bonus to the Shield Bonus they grant for 1 round as an immediate action for 1 Power Point, and Energyjewel Armour grants Damage Reduction 1d6/- against the next attack as an immediate action for 1 Power Point.

Magic and Psionic items cost normal price, but anything with metal in it costs between double and five times the normal price, depending on how much metal (usable metal is very rare on Arris). Also food and water is scarce, thanks to the devastating wasteland that much of Arris has become (wonder who caused that )

Anyways, you will get 22,500 to spend, so you can buy some good stuff anyways.

As for Valsian societal info, there should be some of that here already that I gave for Seeten and others. Check for that, and if there are still questions unanswered afterwards, I'd be glad to help
