I'm sad I saw so very little of Cosine, both with other chars, but also with my astro. The little I saw though, I liked it.

I really liked Xon.

Just a suggestion to change the glooms that grant immunity to mind spells.

I say this because I love playing a color spray wizard and when I prepare color sprays for a quest that it normally works for, then I go frownie face when they all say "no I'm immune"

Afaik it's the wine and the chaos/slaad gloom that do this?


Maybe just a + to their saves would be OK, that way at least the color sprays prepared (or for other wizards, etc.) won't have been 100% wasted. I dunno, anyone got better ideas..? :(

I'm glad my 1 roll gave you a good "get down, mister president!" moment at the bomb. I'll miss Cabbage

You actually started learning to program back in the start of V5? You seemed a very competent programmer from the little talk I've seen about in the discord. Well done!

I hope you'll continue enjoying doing these cool things, those extra classes are such a cool addition to efu.

I misunderstood you at first, HB. I thought you were a baddie because I didn't understand a dumb situation back then.

Now that I understand that situation, and have seen more of you? A positive presence at all time. I hope we silly players can enjoy your great work for a long time

I just realized there aren't many Conjuration spells for astrologians, except for the lvl 5 Collapsing Void. So, well, here are a couple lesser versions of it that might make Conjuration a bit more fun for astros?!


Void Pull(ok I suck at names)

Spell Level: Astrologian 4
Innate Level: 4
School: Conjuration
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Range: Medium
Area of Effect: Huge
Duration: 1 Round / 2 Levels
Additional Counter Spells:
Save: Fortitude partial
Spell Resistance: Yes

Summoning up a lesser orb of dark matter, you toss it into a square, exploding into a mass. The dark matter forms a void that sucks in nearby creatures to their demise.

The void KNOCKS DOWN any nearby creatures on a failed Fortitude save and deals 1d4 bludgeoning damage per 10 Astronomy ranks per round.



Solar Pull(ok I suck at names)

Spell Level: Astrologian 3
Innate Level: 3
School: Conjuration
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Range: Medium
Area of Effect: Huge
Duration: 1 Round / 2 Levels
Additional Counter Spells:
Save: Reflex partial
Spell Resistance: Yes

Summoning up a miniature sun, you toss it into a square, exploding into a mass. The miniature sun forms a void that sucks in nearby creatures to their demise.

The void ENTANGLE any nearby creatures on a failed Reflex save and deals 1d4 fire damage per 10 Astronomy ranks per round.

Five of them. Followed them for what felt like forever. The Gnome never separated from the group...

Next time, perhaps.

Sort of worked, but no playing along happened. What did I do wrong? How do I go about improving it for the next time...? More violence?

Uniform's set up. Good enough things, at the very least.

Now, the right time and place. Where?

Is the name actually good? They thought otherwise. Think, think...

The best story ever told. A somewhat true story, at the very least!

Masked Avenger. Who is this hero?
 - A man of great integrity
 - A man of justice
 - A generous man
 - A man who deals with the scum of the earth.
 - We'll need a mask, and a new suit of clothing. A cape?

How do we spin it this way? Think, think...

Azimi,

You shall find that, were you to read my submitted paper, it is intended to simulate the mind and offer an alternative theory to how things are believed. Make one consider this as possible, and then consider what such a possibility would mean.

My own observations suggest that it is the correct one. However, without the suitable equipment, providing any kind of evidence shall prove impossible.

Without such papers to suggest potential changes in how things are believed, imbeciles will never step outside of what is known to seek more possibilities.

Greetings, honoured astronomers.

I, Karl Herenicus, was informed by one Apothar Obam Zarik that a debate is to be held, where one might prove one's worth to earn apprenticeship.

Attached here is a suggestion for a topic  at this debate, one of my theories upon the stars.

[ABSTRACT]

ABSTRACT

This journal has been written to present the reader with an alternative view upon the stars and other various celestial bodies to consider for research. Consider for a moment the possibility that the heavenly bodies are not actual objects upon the sky, but instead, windows to eldritch knowledge.

INTRODUCTION

The night sky, as we know it, is made up of many things. The moon, the stars, and the darkness in between them all, make up the most significant part of it all. All astronomers of note know the significance of these celestial bodies. But what, truly, are they?

Is the darkness up there a void, and these stars and the moon solid objects up there? Or could it perhaps be the very opposite? It is well known that any one taking a footstep on the path of an astrologian draw their powers from the skies and their connection to our world. But nobody has presented proof as to what they all truly are.

The idea is then presented here that indeed, these heavenly bodies are no more bodies than the air of the night sky. The 'void' of the darkness, it is no void. It is the only truly solid thing up there. The stars and the moon, they are windows leading on to distant worlds, eldritch knowledge.

THEORY TO BE PRESENTED

This suggested theory of how astronomers might wish to view the sky and all therein is based around observations of the stars and the moon for many a nights. They all move in similar patterns, ways that can be calculated and expected. This would not make sense for bodies that fly freely! Thus, observe the following image presented of this model.

In this model as seen above one can observe the suggested night sky as indeed a series of spheres surrounding our world. Scattered upon these spheres are the stars, and of course the very moon. Brightest of our celestial bodies.

Where does all this light come from, to make them shine so brightly upon the sky? Sources of great power up in the sky. Worlds, far, so very far away. Perhaps the power that shines so very brightly are the very pantheons of divine beings upon these distant worlds?

DISCUSSION

With this theory presented here upon this journal, many questions arise. How does the Astrologian draw upon these powers? It is entirely possible that, just as a priest might draw upon a specific deity of their choice, when they chose to bless an ally. Perhaps these beings in the distant night sky allow those who revere them well enough, to draw upon them all. There are, after all, so very many of them - drawing upon them as a 'pantheon', as a priest draws upon the power of their god? Perhaps they would not even notice it.

A question, then, if these holes in the many spheres surrounding the world do lead towards other worlds with eldritch powers. Can one draw upon the energies of certain ones of them, and if so, would these powers notice? If these theories are to be expanded upon, it will be worth considering the dangers or the benefits of such.

I sort of agree, though I worry that people will just make alts and use them for crafting cheaply to their friends. Which... would be damn lame.

Another possible solution would be to hide the crafting feats behind a bigger cost. Not just something you can grind out with a few quests, but something like prestige stuff or so? But I think a removal of it would also be, possibly, nice.
