A few in game questions

Ray;

It's primarily a function of content- if we did it, we'd want to do it right.

Rhi;

1) Yes, two in fact.

2) No, it's not required, although it is the usual practice.

@Legate of Mineta: As for familiars with separate actions, maybe that can be for Y3 or later. In-story justification could be that the familiar is getting older and (except for Mr. Pebbles) wiser.

1. Why no answer about pants? was it answered earlier in this thread?

2. Why 2 hawking clubs? 1 for bird-lovers the other for sports-lovers or something like that?

Rhi;

I'll pass the Q's on.

[Rhialto 19]

@Legate of Mineta: If a living dolphin were found in Mineta, would it be unknown to scholars and thought to be magical or an omen? I ask because whales and dolphins are thought by some scholars in Mineta to be myths - only rumours about them remain.

[Legate of Mineta 0]

Rhi;

It would definitely be unknown- it would take some researching to understand what manner of creature it was, and likely it would first be suspected as the product of Gates.

1) Is it planed that in the next years sometimes there is no class because the professor is sick or not at school while no immediate replacement is there? (I know we have this already in adventures or events but that is quite different from actual having a replacement teacher or no class at all) 

[Metis 1,115]

May I object to a mechanic that might further reduce the already questionable usefulness of classes?

[Legate of Mineta 0]

S & M;

Hahaha! Well, it's a very cool idea, but not in Y2, alas.

[Rhialto 19]

@Legate of Mineta: Are even nobles hanged in Mineta for non-religious crimes, or are they executed in other ways?

[Legate of Mineta 0]

Rhi;

Capital punishment varies widely by the crime, but hanging is known and used.

[Rhialto 19]

@Legate of Mineta: Are even aristocrats hanged?

[Legate of Mineta 0]

Rhialto;

They are, although generally with special or enchanted ropes.

[Rhialto 19]

@Legate of Mineta: How are the ropes enchanted, if I may ask? To kill cleanly?

[Legate of Mineta 0]

Rhialto;

That's exactly right.

1) Will there different pictures for Students depend if their magic skill is good enough to alter their looks and / or a adventure chain related to them got to a certain point?

[Legate of Mineta 0]

Schwarzbart;

Super cool (and there's an ability to do that in the code), but there are no plans to have alternate portraits for Y2, unfortunately. We'll see.

Interdimensional city building sounds really interesting, that's for certain.

Could the Schohanwicht School be defined as the result of interdimensional building?

[Legate of Mineta 0]

Yes....

...

Muahahaha!

[Rhialto 19]

@Legate of Mineta: 1. Are there stories (whether true or not) about evil mages who were attacked by their familiars?

2. Are there known magical artifacts that cannot be used by full humans but only by fays and part fays?

[Legate of Mineta 0]

Rhi;

1) Yes.

2) Hmmmm....if there are, I'm not aware of any.

[Rhialto 19]

@Legate of Mineta: Would it be possible, though, to create an item whose magic could only be used by members of a certain species?

[Legate of Mineta 0]

Rhi;

Certainly, although it can be a little tricky.

[Rhialto 19]

@Legate of Mineta: Since Negation can be used to eliminate traces of magic, is a student mage's being suffused with negation magic a possible source of evidence that he/she has been using illicit magics? Rather like the alcohol user and perfume.

[Legate of Mineta 0]

Rhi;

It can't be used to eliminate traces of magic, but it can be used to suppress it. The perfume analogy is apt.

[Rhialto 19]

@Legate of Mineta: 1. Are all pillars of magic associated with certain colors?

2. Is blue associated with mastery?
