Lorika's Announcement
Fellow BOOdists, take heed!
***** Change to the rp battle system:
From this point on restrictions are being imposed on the number of skills your characters can learn per Path! From now on YOU CAN ONLY LEARN THE BARE MINIMUM OF SKILLS TO MASTER THE PATH. (As detailed in the System Guide.)
Why has this been decided? Because although without restrictions you can let your character keep growing forever, WITH the restrictions characters are put on a much more equal footing and maybe we'll see some variety between characters springing up.
So for any of you who have levelled MORE than the required number of skills per level... e.g three skills for a level instead of two in Intermediate pools... please choose a skill to discard, and the time you took to learn it will count towards another skill/skills.
At least, that's what I immediately thought to be done - I suppose you could always PM me for permission to keep an extra skill if that's all you've learned.
Interviews with characters:
Yes, this is a fun little thing! You can learn all about it here! Please be sure to take part!
Christmas event:
It doesn't look like there will be anything as such for the guild - however, the lovely Oro has taxed himself by making this gift giving thread, and I'll be making one soon too!
Oh, and on that note, a word to Oro in particular - I'm going to move both your threads to Righteous Campaigns. They seem more appropriate there, y'know? So everyone, if you're looking for his awesome guide and gift-giving thread, they'll as of now be in the RC forum!
Btw, I'm a certified driver now, so stay off the roads. D;
TTFN!
So what does this mean?
It MEANS that from now you are only allowed a limited number of skills from each level:
Basic - 1 (No option)
Intermediate - 2
Advanced - 1
EXCEPT Spiritualism, obv! Spiritualism goes 1, 3, 3, 2.
The System Guide has been updated to reflect the change.
So you basically have only enough skills to Master a Path. What happens after you master it? Make your own skills! Train another Path! Maybe even ask to retrain different skills!
And if you really really really HAVE TO OMG HJGDSJ have an extra skill, just PM me. I'll see what I can do! BUT it's unlikely I'll allow more than one extra skill per pool, or maybe even per character.
So why has it happened?
Basically I was concerned that characters would just keep on growing and growing until they became unstoppable monsters. Something needed to give, and in the end it was the unlimited number of skills you can learn.
Also, as Nii pointed out, limiting the number of skills you can learn allows more variance between characters.
So um, yeah~ 8D; *runs from the angry mob*
