Two Studies

After working straight through, 10-11 hour days, I took up the mantle of addressing the wiki again, which I haven't done since January.  Rewrote nine spells yesterday and then addressed the elaboration of two sage studies that haven't gotten much love since their proposal.  That's how it is with a lot of work I create.  While inventing the idea is necessary, there's often a very long hiatus before I come around to fleshing out that idea.  Especially with things that don't resonate with players.

Here are the two elaborated sage studies, Mammals and Motivation.



Essentially, the first provides the skills on how to become Princess Mononoke, while the second provides how to become Jenghis Khan.  Obviously, the many links must someday be translated into pages and rules, but for now this is enough for the player to make an informed choice and for me to work from the base material and expand it, should the player want to pursue these studies.

There are many other studies that still deserve attention, but I also have scores of other things altogether to do.  There is never an end, but I work with a mindset that everything gets done eventually.  Keeps me going.

  1. Ha, Motivation was definitely something I had eyeballed for myself, but as has been said before the raw stat power that Puissance gives is just too good to pass up as a first choice. My life is on the line, dammit! I'm very fond of Regency, which seems to me a nice way to bridge the gap between "only 9th level Fighters can build and run castles" and the horrifying notion of a 2nd level Baron.

    Loving Mammals here as well. I was wondering if the animal sages were going to follow a format all culminating in the "produce hybrid/produce humanoid" vein. I like this particular study better (not just because I quite like Princess Mononoke).

    It may have taken a while, but they look worth the wait to me.

  2. Ooh, consider Unusual Mount stolen. I've been lacking for good abilities for druids. Thank you!

  3. Of late I've been referencing your wiki fairly often, if for nothing else than to see what you've done with something. All too often it turns out you haven't detailed something yet, so this is appreciated

  4. Oh yes, Lance, I know. There's just a villainously lot to detail, and most of it is straight out of my head.
