Leoshi Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Legate! Delay Year 2 for as long as you need! Anyway, what class of magic is puppetry? Manipulating the limbs of a puppet to attack your opponents and such. Also, gargloyes? Are there any around the school? Are they living? And! Who is the most devious student on this forum?!

freespace2dotcom Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 I'm going to bet that form of puppetry would be incantation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Psst Free: "Delay Year 2 for as long as you need! :P" Leoshi; Anyway, what class of magic is puppetry? Manipulating the limbs of a puppet to attack your opponents and such. If you wanted that to be autonomous, it would be Enchantment. If you just want to do it spur of the moment, you can use Incantation, as Free suggests. You can also do this via Revision, but with some unpredictable results.Also, gargloyes? Are there any around the school? Are they living? There are some, and they do not appear to be.And! Who is the most devious student on this forum?! You, because I saw what you did there.

pipebeard Posted December 25, 2013 Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 Are there patricians in this world? Like the republics of medieval Italy with families like Visconti and with titles like Most Serene Doge. It may have been asked earlier, but I am not digging through 200 pages for the answer.

Legate of Mineta Posted December 25, 2013 Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 Pipebeard; Indeed yes! Some of the Students you have met are from those families (or, rather, their extended families.) Alfi and Ilice are among the most prominent of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipebeard Posted December 25, 2013 Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 Groovy now another couple questions: 1) as our characters get older, how will this feudal-esque (which I only gather is like that due to that map saying there are Duchies, but I assume its more like the Holy Roman Empire, an elective monarchy) society be affecting us? will students of different classes like that Vernin girl, who is of royal blood and whose name eludes me at the current moment, become more condescending towards more common students or is everyone inside the Academagia equal under the Legate's eyes? 2) will we get to know more about our peers beyond the paragraph of back story you get when you click their names? I mean, I completed Katjaa's adventure and I still don't know this character well aside from that she really likes the violin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted December 25, 2013 Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 pipebeard; In the past it has been similar to the HRE, but there hasn't been an emperor in centuries, and the bonds holding together imperial Elumia are almost entirely theoretical. 1) It will effect you, yes, although not necessarily in the way in which you describe. 2) Oh yes.

Legate of Mineta Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 Free; Mechanically, it never happens, but considering the real situation, it must often happen. I don't know if we'll ever introduce this kind of mechanic, but there is a good reason for it to exist...sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipebeard Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 What are the duties of one in nobility? Is it like our aristocracy? Being that the men exist solely to manage the estate and lands while the women exist to do charity work and find a good husband? are arranged marriages a common thing? What kind of nobility is the kind for the player character for that background trait? Like the Crawley family in Downton Abbey, a minor noble family however very rich nonetheless.

Legate of Mineta Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 pipebeard; The function of the aristocracy is different depending on where you are in Elumia, but their nobility descends from title to land or office. Both men and women may exercise their rights equally, although it is more common for men to do so. Arranged marriages are commonplace. The character trait Nobility indicates that your family has a title, but it does not specify wealth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freespace2dotcom Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 I would recommend watching "A Knight's Tale" for a good understanding of what that means. In that movie, a young guy (played by Heath Ledger, no less) wants to participate in jousting and all those events, which of course was only open for nobility to participate. He then pretends to be a noble from some small country far away, which explains why nobody would have heard of him, and why he would be wearing more modest (almost peasant) clothing. Some nobles might have no assets apart from their name, which conveniently allowed to marry into money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freespace2dotcom Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 Ah. Well, in an effort to save face, I will point out that certain things in that movie have a much greater chance of happening in setting than in real life way back when. stomp-stomp-clapping, stadium waving, et al.

pipebeard Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 I remember that movie, especially the boombox scene and Low Rider (I think it was Low Rider its been a few years) playing for the training. No worries mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
