Raydestroyer Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 Well...... that sucks well anyway I saw this other action called create formal invitations, would my master plan work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metis Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 Insofar in that it's one way to go about Controlling students, sure. If your master plan requires you to control an entire Clique, though, there's nothing in Y1 that'll allow you to do that. At least not with a single action.

Raydestroyer Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 So I use 1 action to control a student for 2 days to spam train your company which results in 6 skill steps for entire clique but I would have to raise caligraghy to 10 which is a huge time sink. Do you guys think it’s worth it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metis Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 Depends on what you want to do, and how you want to go about doing it. You could use Voice of Favors or Pressure instead, though since both only last for a day I would recommend Create Formal Invitation if you're not going with anything from Mastery.

Raydestroyer Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 K thx time to max out all my skills then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raydestroyer Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 Sry for he double post but I just remembered hearing that using control actions on students limits how much you can order them around, if I use formal invitation on a student on my clique, could I order them to train your company and expand a specif sub skill? What are the limitations on control for a person using formal invitation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metis Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 All Y1 Control methods are limited in how exact that level of control is, yes. Mechanically you'll be able to dictate what actions/abilities/spells/etc. they'll use on a given time slot, but every detail that you would fill in later the NPC students will decide for themselves. So you can tell them to Train your Company, but they'll decide which subskill they'll choose to increase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raydestroyer Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 Well.............. I guess I’ll have to reload a hell of a lot, also if I used train company, would the npc train skills they like or just choose random skills? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metis Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 Eh...good question. Students do have personality preferences defined which theoretically should gear them towards certain skills (even ones that got removed later, in rare cases), and I don't see why being forced to Train your Company instead of just Train should be different in that regard, but on the flipside their personality preferences specify expanding skill levels, not steps, so that might not even work at all? @Legate of Mineta, confirm/deny please?

Legate of Mineta Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 I *think* it would work, but...that would need testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isadorbg Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 Also for Control you need the Order pheme (and Mastery 10) That's a lot of skill steps to get it. Not sure if it's actually worth it compared to formal invitation. On the bright side however it's quite an easy roll since it's a contested one.

freespace2dotcom Posted March 23, 2019 Report Share Posted March 23, 2019 So, the power supply on my PC gave up the ghost. I'm still down, but at least I've recovered my passwords so I can check in here from time to time. It'll be a while before I can replace it as I misdiagnosed the problem and bought new hard drives to replace my aging 10tb worth of goodies. Anyway, enough about that. Any news to report? Is Y2 imminent or are we still waiting? Lore Questions! 1. How much training does a mage have to have in order to become a physician? Given that they'll likely have to work on sick and dying folks at some point who can't quite take a misfire as well as a healthy person... 2. Are there any steam engines on campus? 3. How often are counterfeit permission slips made on campus? Enough that some professors might disregard them all together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted March 23, 2019 Report Share Posted March 23, 2019 Free; Waitin'! 1) It is a significant number of years, beyond what you would learn at the Academagia. 2) No, iirc the only they had was destroyed a few years ago. 3) Disregarded altogether.

freespace2dotcom Posted March 23, 2019 Report Share Posted March 23, 2019 I'd like to ask how that steam engine was destroyed. Surely a good story is in that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raydestroyer Posted March 23, 2019 Report Share Posted March 23, 2019 1. Just wondering, I can create bodies or living things with gates right? Couldn't I create a body for Pamela to posses and bam, got my self a homunculus without mind being controlled by pamela, could I do this with gates? 2. also would I need to know the magic to put Pamela in the body or would the familiar need to know the magic? 3. if the gates part is redacted then could' I incant a body that will last for years until day ss appearing for Pamela to inhabit? 4. Also what magic would be required for Pamela to posses a body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raydestroyer Posted March 24, 2019 Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 Well then........ That suck . anyway more questions 1.minsaw on a thread that glamour could melt snow, glamour is like visualizing a concept and you deciding what aspects of it you wish to bring to actuall reality, wether that be the looks or feel to it, it depends on the power of how real you make the glamour be. Am I right in the way I view glamour or am I wrong? 2. Relaxations with teachers,legate, and reagents will stay the same right? No relation decay? For y2 3. Edit: in y2, will we be able to use items in our inventory in battle? Like healing potions or increase magic skills potions or invisibility cloques or hell, even divasque Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted March 24, 2019 Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 Ray; 1) Yes, but at least as much (or more) depends on how convincing you can be to your target. 2) There is decay over the summer holiday, unfortunately. 3) Yes.

Since an incanter could create a biddable snake, at least for a short while, could a Master Incanter create an artificial person, even if only with a simple intelligence, and for a short time? Yes, but the difficulty would be astronomical. Hehe, seems I found my answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metis Posted March 25, 2019 Report Share Posted March 25, 2019 I think the [redacted] part of that answer covered the "for Pamela to inhabit" bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted March 25, 2019 Report Share Posted March 25, 2019 Also Raydestroyer's question was about gate magic while the previous was about incantation. Gate and Mastery based questions get nearly all time the redacted answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
