Is it permissible to spend Peter's 5 unspent CP on a level of Destiny?

Re: Lost in Dreams II (OCC)
 

Yes... Though what kind? a specific destiny, or an impulse-buy sort?



Are you looking at doing game time or every so many posts?


I'm also surprised... I'd have thought you'd be sinking those into magic, riding, and so forth. but destiny is valid.

Re: Lost in Dreams II (OCC)
 

The Impulse Buy / MH type one is what I was referring to. As for the refresh rate, probably every so many posts would likely be more advantageous.

Magic? I was not aware that was an option. If I spend points on magic, will it be available after a jump?

As for Riding, I've never rolled against it, so maybe not quite yet on that one. I was interested in Dreaming before, buy you were not ready for Peter to take it.

I was curious... Maybe he needs another jump with some more training to help justify it, but with the breadth of natural skills he has now, I was wondering about merging them and swapping him to a Wildcard like "Hunter" like Vassarious is using (though I'd likely rename it for better 'Peter-like' flavor).

I thought so. I'm looking around for my most recent opinion on post-hour-ratios. I think right now I'm estimating it at 20+10*player count. I think.


Once you are exposed to a magic system, you can learn it, and spend points in it. Most magic systems are available on most worlds, and least for dreamers, who have a touch of cosmic about them. The most common magic to be excluded is mind reading and mind control. The Karana magic of this world will transfer just fine to most worlds.

Dreaming is a special skill for this campaign. For riding... you've sort of been implicitly rolling against it for a while here. Take it or not.


I'd prefer not to use wildcards for lost-in-dreams. Being oddly specific about which situations he's been in and learned from is part of the game.

Re: Lost in Dreams II (OCC)
 

So do we want to spend some skill points?

Re: Lost in Dreams II (OCC)
 

Not sure... I was thinking of Destiny... but now there is the thought of magic in the mix, and I might want to save up for an Attribute boost.

About how long would you say Peter's been Lost in Dreams?

Re: Lost in Dreams II (OCC)
 

My guess would be around four months. He was on the world with the riders for a while, then he was hanging out with miracle workers for a while, but I don't think either of those times was longer than a few months.

Re: Lost in Dreams II (OCC)
 

I'm thinking of putting...

A point in Knife,
A point in Guns (Pistol)
A point in Dreaming after his next success

And I would like to take the "Call of the Wild" perk from PU2: Perks page 12.

I considered a point in riding, but I figure I'm going to get 200 hours in eventually...

And if four+ Months have passed, (unless dream-walkers don't age which could be quite interesting!) We should probably add an inch to Peter's height. He's going to be 15 soon.

If I want to put some points toward Karana magic, how would that be purchased?

Re: Lost in Dreams II (OCC)
 

those all look good.


That's an interesting request... normally stuff like that gets purchased after a notable encounter with a wild animal... but I suppose if it comes up we can make a big deal of the first encounter and let you use the point then. You can purchase it.


Eventually... though be aware you've got another batch of points coming down the road.


Yeah, we should be watching Peter's age. He is certainly aging... Goliath too, in the grand scheme of things. How old did he start at? could you give expected height at various ages?


People in the world have a base advantage that grants permission (which you have courtesy of your template), an ER pool (you have 10 points in it, courtesy of the template ... though its shared among all magic abilities you have), and two skills: one is about gathering the smoke (ritual magic (Karana)), and the other is about shaping the animals... which is physiology (Karana).

Re: Lost in Dreams II (OCC)
 

I meant to ask about it before when Peter had the encounter with the wolf, but it was reinforced when he seemed to have a little bit of impact trying to use animal handling on the uncontrolled Karana demon that was behaving in an animalistic way.

Peter started at 14 (and we'll call it and a half, so he's nearly 15) and is a bit of a late bloomer, but is hitting his growth spurt. Let's call his full-grown height 6'2". So we should probably add 1 inch now to 5'5" and add an inch per 2 months until he hits 6 feet... -ish

Leonbergers are full grown at a year, so let's say Goliath is about two and a half years old.



--On the Skills and Perk

I added to the sheet:

A point in Knife,
A point in Guns (Pistol)
A point in Dreaming
A point in Ritual Magic, Karana
A point in Physiology, Karana
And a point for the Call of the Wild Perk.

Which actually puts him a point over... But he doesn't officially have dreaming yet and points are apparently soon to come.
