Good point. Carry on.

Not sure if any specific checks would apply right now but: does it look like there's anything Vera can steal?

Arden is emotional!

Not that it was hard to guess before, but this post definitely makes that clear.

I'm trying to establish her opinions about the group, if you couldn't tell. Obviously, Raltz is not making a glowing first impression!

'course, she probably isn't either.

I'm definitely overplaying the paranoid thing, but it's amusing me so oh well.

Yay student center posting between finals. My apartment is ~50 degrees and sucks nards. At least if it freezes over my food will go from cold to bad to cold but still bad.

Re: Intuitive magic. If it doesn't quite work like that, would a heal check do anything?

IHateMakingNames · 12-17-2010, 01:38 PM

On that note, what exactly would a Blue Mage have for intuitive magic? Every other job seems like it has their spells at much lower level, or follows the job theme. The book gives the Blue Mage telekinesis, but there is no reason that really fits.

Well most Blue magic is like a manifest of unusual bodily functions, like an android has to actually graft bodyparts to them in order to do blue magic. So small things might be like growing little tentacles in order to multitask, or being able to glow in the dark.

Though this is just an assumption.

Mutation is a job ability, so that's out.

Overcast · 12-17-2010, 02:44 PM

Most Blue Magic comes off like that. I mean suddenly I can breathe out noxious fumes that poison someone. Suddenly I can spit seed pods with deadly efficiency and shake dandruff from my head that apparently heals people. Suddenly I can shoot fricken laser beams from my eyes.

These are basic spells, I'm not calling for a full scale racial mutation, just a small bodily alteration for the sake of usefulness, kinda like most Blue Magic since it is based on the natural defense systems of monsters and not the conventional manipulation of magic.

Blue Mages can wiggle their ears with intuitive magic. A high level Blue Mage can probably kiss his elbow with intuitive magic. Blue Mages can use intuitive magic for ventriloquism, but they're never very good at it.

Also, speaking for group one, I think we're ready for a "Then they were at the stables/the other guys found an inn" post. Or maybe a "Meanwhile, at the same time in the future, it was tomorrow" post. Or a monster could jump out. Anyway, I'm saying I think we've all said our piece. Edit: Or not.
