Albert Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Maybe a repeatable Clique adventure, where you can invite your Clique to a party and then you have some options on how to arrange it and different skill options(investigations and exits) for you to use to make it a good gathering of friends. Where your friends get to spend some time together and have a good time. Perhaps one for setting it up with the invitations and planning/arranging for the party to happen. Then another for the party itself. I don't know if repetable adventure can have multiple stages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metis Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 I don't know if the game can set such a thing up, code-wise. Besides which, such complex stuff isn't necessary. Getting Cooking 11 is effort enough, no need to add additional rolls on top of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 In chase the player learned Gates to 10 without the Secret Background and Diavesque the Living I think it would be great if the Sphinx put the player on a adventure to join Schoanwitch especial if the player managed to do the adventure of the sphinx in year 1.<br /><br />For Mastery there could be something similar if there is a regular place to study the advanced arts of Mastery Reason for this is that the Sphinx most likely know how good / bad the player is in the forbidden schools of magic given how many times we visit her The exceptions of Diavesque is that I somehow expect that this dragon / demon / book give it own way to unlock the advanced gate magic.

freespace2dotcom Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 I wholly agree that you should be allowed to set on a path like that if you manage to show that you can do it the hard way. So long as it isn't forced. And I think that this should be something for Y2. (I think you're referring to Y2, but I'm not quite sure) I don't know if the Sphinx is best for that though, as it is the Emperor's Sphinx. I'm not 100% sure that it would be so willing to help you down that path. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 Schwarzbart Hmmm...I'll mention it to the Team, but that *may* not work for the Sphinx. Interesting suggestion, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Svinik Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 From recollection, Professor Briardi also knows Eunycia, so another option would be to have an adventure with her where the PC had to demonstrate some familiarity / knowledge / interest in Gates, and for her to direct the PC to Schohanwicht.

Metis Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 Hiya potential, going to need to keep you in mind. To add another possibility, what about Schohanwicht and/or this suggested Mastery group collecting the PC themselves? I would imagine that this normally doesn't happen often, if at all, but if the PC managed to do/collect something noteworthy enough (cough The Book of Deep Shadows cough) someone might notice and decide that hey, the player already showed interest in the illegal arts, so might as well make that artefact you really want the entry fee and get a promising student on top of that.

Svinik Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 A follow-up adventure to Diavesque is the obvious way to have Schohanwicht contact the PC, although if the PC didn't do the adventure they'd need to repeat the Yr 1 adventure within Yr 2, possibly as the first stage or have the PC come across another student (Durand, Philippe, etc) who did the Yr 1 adventure and either kept Diavesque or got worried about the book ling out in the woods and confessed to the PC hoping for help. Whether the invitation was optional or mandatory would, I suspect, depend on the choices that the PC made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metis Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 I actually have another idea for how any studious PC could get in contact with Schohanwicht, but I've said too much already. For another suggestion, how about a shop that will train the PC's Familiar? Currently the only decent way to train a Familiar is through Improved Familiar Handling, without which it's just not worth the effort at all.

Svinik Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 What I'd like to see is some "clubs", after-hours social-type things, run as adventures possibly. One I thought about was for people to socialise on a students+familiars basis, so perhaps one with some races, one with some control test, etc. The problem I had was the breadth of familiars that people have (jump Mr Pebbles! Jump over the bar!) , unless you could categorise familiars by movement type (flyer, land, burrower, swimmer, etc) it wouldn't really work and some familiars just wouldn't fit a "bonded animal" type adventure anyway. Other ideas were an etiquette club for the better-bred Academagians (say 3-phase adventure serieis, option to gain relationship with a clubber, option to gain a skill point in the "core skill group", option to gain a more generic skill point), a prelude to potions club (to explain all the potion RE's despite the lack of a class) and civic club (help the less fortunate citizens of Mineta, you know that your fellow students know what's best for them), perhaps a duelling club, and a scout-type club for wannabe explorers - things to flesh out a character socially and explore some of the less common skills.

freespace2dotcom Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 Mr. Pebbles possibly could hover over the bar. If he really wanted to. And if it 'Helped' his mage somehow. (his unique form of help, anyway) But probably only then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isadorbg Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 umm there's already a way to join Schohanwicht school without the secret heritage background no ? I think it start with the " Determine the next step to Shohanwicht" ability. I remember doing it once it unlocks other abilities if I remember right until you unlock all the school facilities like at the end of the "a house in the bog" adventure. Tough I guess a proper adventure will be good. http://academagia.wikia.com/wiki/The_Schohanwicht_School Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metis Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 As far as I can tell from quickly checking around the mod tools the Determine the next step to Shohanwicht ability, in addition to being incorrectly spelled, doesn't actually allow you proper access to the adventure that opens up Schohanwicht.

You don't get access to the adventure but you do get access to all the abilities you get in the adventure (eunycia's and the shohanwicht ones). It's been almost two years since i tried this so my memory is very imperfect but I think you unlock oher abilities (like persuade the school something like that). If i have the time I may try to find that old save again. Also I don't remember the prerequisite either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isadorbg Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 HAHAHAHA !! FOUND IT !! I have discovered the path to the forsaken school for the untainted !!. 1) Okay so first create a character without the "Secret Heritage" background (duh). 2) Then here is the tricky part you have to discover the "Shohanwicht School" location. (the chance of discovery seems to be 0...). ( I have to admit I have cheated in this one as i was looking to the path the ability mentioned earlier lead me to believe this was the prerequisite to obtain that abiliy in the first place and I was right !!) 3) After discovering the school, you will get the "Determine the next step to Shohanwicht" ability. If you succeed you will be informed of "Eunycia's haven" location. 4) You have to use a certain number of action/ability in "Eunycia's haven" instead of the character room on any other location. ( I used 3 study action the same day to unlock 5) 5) You will finally get the "A house in the swamp" adventure. Just like the characters with "The Secret Heritage" play the adventure. Damn I am so pround of me, I feel like someone from the Specialist serie (of Las Vegas of course ). I should have become a police inspector. Anyway I have noticed a bug, the first time i unlocked the adventure that way it was already in the third stage. I used numerous time the "Determine the next step to Shohanwicht" ability (it doesn't disapear even if you succeed tough maybe after playing the adventure?) and the "study" part trying to find a way to get the abilities. (I didn't realize at first that it unlocked the adventure thoughtat first it unlocks directly the abilities... when I found out i reloaded to find the correct path).

Legate of Mineta Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 isadorbg; Hmm, thanks! We'll look at the back path in regards to that bug in 17. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Not sure if possible but to ease the hassle with shop in year 1 how about give shop (improved) that call the shopping function 2x and shop (advanced) that call shopping 3x. Good places might be Transport 3 or 5 for the improved and Transport 9 for the advanced version. I know that year 2 handle shopping different so that this actions then have to be removed.

Legate of Mineta Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Schwarzbart; Not to worry- shopping is actually handled by a new system, and if you visit a place like the Admiratio, you can shop at most shops in one visit, subject to a few limitations. Edit: Ha! Year 1, you mean. I'm not 100% certain it would work, but we could try. I'll ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 For my the van Tibernius Mathematics School I think there might even some "van Tibernius Mathematics School Discount" spread to some Professor so they can give I to their favoured Students. Maybe the favour list of Professor Finus Piaxenza is a good place to add this. (Its a promotion action because the school is still new ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Hmm, that's a cool idea. You may even see fliers pop up for the other schools, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Svinik Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 A nice favour to add to Matain Leith's list would be permission to use the infirmary library, or a stage could be added to the Assist the Tonic Brewmaster adventure to grant access right as currently studying there is likely to get you a reprimand.

Schwarzbart Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Isn't the ability "Friendly Favor" from Reitz von Lutersee extreme weak? First of all it cost Reitz 20 pims and the player 1 timeslot then it only have a 50% chance to increase the relationship to a instructor. I would say the increase have to be at last 3 to be balanced toward the lower end of similar abilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metis Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Reitz is noted as not being particularly liked by peers and teachers alike, so it makes sense that it has a chance to fail, although indeed it's a weak ability all the same. Heck, Impression of Diligence (Ability) gets you +1 relationship with 1 teacher free of any change, roll or chance of failure. All you need is Study Habits 3, which is a skill that you cannot start the game with uninformed and/or below rank 1 without modding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Schwarzbart; It is a pretty spare one, although I'm not sure they will make any changes now- Y2, however, Reitz's ability evolves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
