The Avalon Chronicles

Game Master lynora

This is a high level rules light game set in a school for magical kids, kinda a mash-up of Soul Eater, Harry Potter, and X-Men. :)

There is only one scenario where I would pick up a guitar to play, and you won't like it if it happens.

Damn! *snaps fingers*


Working on a reply now DB3... sorry about that. I did miss it in the wake of stuff, and then I had to try to get my shift tomorrow covered. On the plus side, I get to sleep in. On the minus side, Kitty needs to go see the opthamologist. Kitty needs an eye doctor, as she keeps getting cloudy eyes.


Best of luck with the cat.

I hope it's not kitty caterax, or however that's spelled.

:(


She's too young for that... however, there are a whole host of nasty things it could be (everything from the kitty herpes virus to autoimmune conditions)... or it could just be that she's a klutz and keeps hurting her eye by running into things.

Fingers crossed for the latter.

Take care of the kitty first before any of my posts if you have to choose.

Alright...

Tyrrin and Onerio got a couple more things to discuss, but that can be done via PM/spoilers if absolutely needed.

Ehos will leave Jaiye at her room, unless invited in. He's being a little overcautious about her space needs. I imagine Jaiye will probably just drag him in.

Midori's back in her room, wondering what to do with her tattered clothing...

I'm ready to switch days.


Yeah, no work tomorrow now, so I should be online quite a bit in the morning to tidy any loose ends up. We got some drops to ease the Kitty's pain while we wait for a diagnosis.

PM works for me. I'm turning in a bit early. Night guys and gals.

HAHA all in bad time to start the Smurf inavtion

I have detect magic and analyze dewomer at will with no penalty so its really just constant. And it might bother him but "Look at, like, all the groovy colors, Maaaaan."

Its the difference between lava lamp (groovy) and the sun (blinding)

I was thinking more like the screens your computer makes when you play a CD in it. With all the patterns and stuff.

I was thinking the same thing


Male Human Gestalt: Binder 16, Wizard (Enchanter) 6

With that many layers of magic.... Think.... Those patterns playing through neon glow tubes an inch from your nose....24/7

What about me? I see magic withen 200ft, and I derive sustenance from the magic in the air, it's why I have no mouth, would you say I am nonetheless blinded?


Male Icy Catfolk Image Warlock/Rogue 16

Like they look cool and stuff but get kinda boring and then start to hurt a little. Especially if its dark in the room. They don't get boring and hurt if you're really into though like Tyb is. I picture him using the lace to take screenshots and then like painting it and framing it. Like "This is what the cafeteria looks like on Tuesday afternoon." Even though its like all colors and abstract stuff with outlines of people. He sees real things that's just the artistic representation.


Male Human Gestalt: Binder 16, Wizard (Enchanter) 6

Since apparently my idea of how the spell worked is wrong and my ideas are stupid......I'm leaving now

Tedisan-

This makes sense for those who don't live with the effect all the time, but those who do develop adaptations. In addition, only things of overwhelming aura could do that, and even then, it takes an incredibly high tier artifact. Overall, yes, I think that is should hamper most using these abilities, but for someone with it constant, it would likely adjust.

My two cents.

+1

Otherwise the divination teacher would have two holes in his/her face Insteed of eyes,
And little to no divination of the immiediate area would be possible


Male Human Gestalt: Binder 16, Wizard (Enchanter) 6

So what your saying is in effect this:

Your idea makes sense....Except for those it would actually bother.... People who stare into the sun will adapt to the light and not be bothered by it...

Everyone who is level 16 has a strong aura and almost every weapon that is magical is artifact level.... And apparently hundreds l of strong aura cannot be equal to or greater than one artifact which its only one step higher


Male Icy Catfolk Image Warlock/Rogue 16

Its not that it wouldn't be like that in a normal set of circumstances. It probably would. We are just either used to it or maybe having it at high caster levels guards against blindness. Not saying that you are wrong or stupid. Its just not that big an issue here. Sorry. :/


Male Human Gestalt: Binder 16, Wizard (Enchanter) 6

That's why I asked the question of: how would it not do that?

Shadow Lodge

Male. Vaguely humanoid Ninja 3/Bard 1/Ranger 2/Scholar 1

If it makes you feel better pretend they also have low level abjurations on their eyes


Male Icy Catfolk Image Warlock/Rogue 16

How about this. The strength of the aura can be judged by boldness instead of brightness. The heavier it is the stronger instead of the brighter it is the stronger. That way we can use it without being blinded by the light. Sound good? :)


Male Human Gestalt: Binder 16, Wizard (Enchanter) 6

That means the sixth level spell on your eyeballs plus the permanency spell has put a permanent layer between you and everything you would be looking at...

*sigh*

:/ forget I said anything...

This is rules light. The explanation can be as simple as: its magic. It just works. :)

Even if it were rules heavy is there actually a mechanic for it?

I can see your point but I think the word is Filtering, tuning your site to stop the white out, trouble is the game says ON OFF not 50% on etc.

Its why I play it ON/OFF


Male Human Gestalt: Binder 16, Wizard (Enchanter) 6

Yea....

One of the books had detect something in it and if the cumulative power of the magics you looked at was higher than what you cast times four then you had a chance every round of going blind...

And I can't find it now


M Extrodinaraly Contrary Meatbag Fourm pyromancer 1

What I meant by what I said-

Alright. One- magic is exponential. That's why I think that artifacts above 25th CL could do that.

Two- magic users, at least, competent ones, could probably turn the brightness down, like on a computer, while still seeing what it looks like. Just because you have a picture of the sun, it doesn't blind you.

Is there anyone here who casts at 64th caster level?
I know that there is a psion at 38 if i remember right but she's high even for the teachers


Male Human Gestalt: Binder 16, Wizard (Enchanter) 6

Which is why in the above mentioned post it went off caster level....


M Extrodinaraly Contrary Meatbag Fourm pyromancer 1

AND most importantly, three-

Several plot points stated that they had it on and saw something. In other words, they could see through it. So, due to plot, it's kinda a needed thing to handwave this.

Once again, my two cents.

He said cumulative... So if all of the people in your vision = that.

Either you misread or are being asinine:

Let's just go with.
It works. Its been working. There isn't a real bad reason it shouldn't. We don't want to stress Lyn out. :)

it was the first one


Male Human Gestalt: Binder 16, Wizard (Enchanter) 6

I accept it as a plot device and I think even having detect magic permanent isn't that bad.... But I've seen people with

Detect magic
Detect psi
Detect good
Detect evil
detect law
Detect chaos
Detect compulsion
Detect this
Detect that
Detect the other
Detect everything

All permanent and then they don't expect that to have any adverse effect at all....

Sorry for any stress I may have caused....once again ignore me


Male Icy Catfolk Image Warlock/Rogue 16

Its fine if you wonder about something and ask. We just don't need to go full debate team on it. :)


Male Human Gestalt: Binder 16, Wizard (Enchanter) 6

I'm sorry for going debate team.... I just didn't understand and even Lyn said it would hurt doin it constantly....

When things don't match up it frustrates me

I do understand this- but fixing one small plot hole really isn't worth making three more.

Trying to dissolve problems, not cause them. But any witch way, if we need to, we can simply wait for lyn's ruling.


Human being Game Master and all round good egg

I have permanent Detect Smurf

<------LOOK THERE'S ONE NOW!

*that was a Joke, so you know that was a Joke.


Male Icy Catfolk Image Warlock/Rogue 16

Why are there so many smurf icons?


Male Icy Catfolk Image Warlock/Rogue 16

Oh Gaia what's going on?!


Male Icy Catfolk Image Warlock/Rogue 16

Oh so its a server thing. Whenever $murf is in a post it changes the icon. I get it now.


Male Icy Catfolk Image Warlock/Rogue 16

Ha ha very funny. They have censor guards too. -_-


Human being Game Master and all round good egg

*ARRRRR my permanent Detect Smurf is over loading I'm BLIND I TELL YOU BLIND!!

*That was a joke,


Female awww, but that would be telling unknown

Gotta go take a test. Be back online after that. Ugh. Also, still sick. :(

Anyhoo, re detect stuff...it seems to me like it would be painful and disorienting to have it on all the time. But I would guess that someone who had it on all the time would adjust. I just don't think most folks would be dedicated enough to get through that difficult adjustment period. I picture it more like an overlay of color rather than a brightness thing. Like they can see in more than three colors. Butterfly vision! :)
I think for someone who always has it on, it would be painful trying to see without it, like someone who uses a strong prescription for glasses trying to see without them. But if someone who doesn't need glasses tried to put theirs on it would be really painful for them to try to see through them. Does that make it make more sense?
