    Thanks for the answers, anyway.

  • Okay, I just saw the bumped revamp thread on Mages which helpfully gave quite a bit of information. It definitely sounds like there's not going to be much of a support focus. in Clueless Comment by Roven May 2013
  • @Kalon Ah, okay, thanks for that. I originally thought it would be Bard too, and they definitely do have some beneficial abilities, but not as much utility as I was …

  • @Taqja Thanks for explaining Demonic a little further, new Khandava definitely seems a much more interesting org than the one I remember.

    So, am I to take…

  • Random, probably subjective question, but what is the closest parallel to Priest in the Magick Circle? In terms of support, helpful utility or defence/buffs/healing for others, would Mage be the nearest equivalent?

  • @Khizan Why is having some effect, as opposed to none, meaningless?
  • @Khizan And if some sort of simplifying mob effects were used to reduce how debilitating affliction-stacking and CC-stacking was to mobs?
  • The idea of all your targeted abilities just being targeted abilities, rather than artificially divided into player-killing abilities or mob-bashing abilities sounds fantastic to me. I love the idea of more options in bashing/world interaction, and …
  • Ah well, if it isn't good enough, it isn't good enough. Hopefully someone else will come up with something much more amazing to make Artistry a wonderfully original, fun and entertaining skillset. It might just not be me!

  • (Quote) So, are you saying that the revised suggestion is too powerful? I don't think there are any masked afflictions in what I've written at the moment, if that's the concern?
  • From a new player perspective, I'd suggest revising HELP NOVICES to explain about auto-promotion and the ability to multi-class with the various penalties for changing.

    Also, why have both HELP GUILDNOVICES <guild> and GHE…

  • (Quote) Thanks for the feedback, it's very good advice!

    I've adjusted the illustration abilities slightly (ships, landscape, ruins) to remove the chance component but still hopefully avoid room-wide attacks.
  • Okay, so I thought I'd go right down to the bottom of the rabbit hole and create an alternative suggestion for the other component of Bardic Artistry that I'm not a huge fan of - sketches. For reference, the current abilities are at  in Bardic Instruments Comment by Roven May 2013

  • (Quote) I did wonder if you could just use the instruments of other bards - but seems to make those skills even less useful or well designed as standalone abilities (given they last for what, about 4 RL months?).
  • One more tiny thing. Is it possible to change the colouring of SAY/CHANT/SING etc, so that only the verbal component in quotes is coloured with the SAYS colour? That would match the appearance of custom EMOTEs, and would make me feel a bit better ab…
  • (Quote) Brilliant! That's far better of a solution, thank you!
  • This is fairly minor, but could there be a version of SLEEP that bypasses the autocuring system? Something like SLEEP DEEPLY so that you can rest without trying to auto-wake, but it can't be forced, or maybe only works if the room is empty of distra…
  • (Quote) Actually, I loved the leafy swirls embellishment of the letters that you did - I think it's quite beautifully done and clearly must have taken a lot of painstaking effort to develop. Having absolutely no artistic ability of my o…
  • Out of curiousity, where are the rules for bardics and artisanals kept these days?
