It wouldn't have worked on the demon... but it does feel like a good match for Peter.

He really could have used it on the Ground Sloth/ Plague world... we'll see where he ends up next.

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

that's what, 7 inches in 14 months? and then the last two will show up a bit more slowly? That looks quite reasonable, now that I look up what height is doing at that age. Something to look forward to with my own kids!

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.

Looks good!

I feel obligated to make a comment about "That meddling kid and his blasted dog!"

Re: Lost in Dreams II (OCC)

I think I want to use luck on that Dreaming roll... It's game time so it will be available the next day IIRC.

Will you make the extra rolls? My rolling has been so abominable, I might need you to break the streak for me :P

ok.... that's a curious place to use luck... 5 and 8. Streak broken. He's going home. That's a curious decision from a Metagame standpoint...

Re: Lost in Dreams II (OCC)

The metagame point was that I really wanted to get a point in dreaming and Peter had to succeed again first!

I honestly wasn't even thinking about him actually making it home... This should be interesting!

We've had people end up at home before... but Tereza had been a missing persons case before she left and wasn't a minor, so it will be pretty different!

Re: Lost in Dreams II (OCC)

He's gonna tell the truth and no one is going to believe him, lol.

In light of the leap home.. can I remove any Limitations? I'd love to get to the point where he can keep his clothes.

No limitations yet. Somehow I'm not so sure that clothing is the #1 thing he'd like to take from place to place.

True, but carrying anything requires removing Naked!

So... Is this still true? I mean you wrote this about five years ago, so assuming yes might be a bit presumptuous.
