At least she didn't steal any Shiny Pokemon.

By the way, I was wondering if Cuteness could count as a stat in a RP? It would work in a similar manner to Charm in the Dragon Quest games, and I was thinking of some ways in which it can be used to stall an opponent's attack, hypnotise, recruit allies to your side and so on.

Ancient,
I think you're overestimating cuteness.

West,
Not sure about Paragon and Renegade being part of Guile; Guile is meant to be based on its definitive description: insidious cunning in attaining a goal; crafty or artful deception
So, Renegade and Paragon could be a subclass of Guile, so long as it portrays cunning or slyness in reaching one's goal.

I think Paragon would be akin to chivalry, but that being more about personal behavior and decisions rather than an ability. Renegade would be more like mavromancy or kakomancy, as these disciplines truly are meant to utilize evil means to succeeding (curses, jinxes, mental corruption, blasphemy, rousing hatred, etc.).

Anyways, I updated the Infantry and Cavalry abilities in Scions, to clearly represent they allow proficiency in certain weapons as well as unarmed. Lighter forces are adept with all weapons, whereas heavier forces lean towards melees and brawling.

Just used the last two reserved posts to make a race based off the Xenomorphs, but slightly adjusted, removing facehuggers as that was a useless aspect in reproduction. I now consider Scions of Sorcery completed, with almost any kind of imaginable character able to be played as. Also, I will be adding mental projection as a default ability for Psionics.

Yeah, maybe I am. But then again I remember that Miltank from Pokemon Gold/Silver. *shudders*

I also started making another post on ADW, and thinking up something for Cradle and Scions as well. How would a Heliomancer (I think that's the name, it's the sun divination one) sound with crystal, ice, water or other magic that could be used to reflect and further manipulate the sun's rays? I had the idea that by using this, sun magic could potentially be used in caves and the like.

Cuteness would be bonus points for begging, tho.

OK, take your time on making posts! I would not even bother with Cradle, as no one else is posting in it. Only work on a story with at least two active users, or make bios, and nothing else.

I also had plans for 'combination magic' that I would gradually reveal later on in the thread, of which multiple magic-users utilize different kinds of magic to maximize or manipulate potential, or even interfere with other kinds of magic. So yes, you can mix magic up, and if you're clever, you may be able to increase the potential of your own magic, or decrease the potential of enemy magic.

So ya, mental projection of up to a few handheld objects is now a default ability for Psionics, to those who are interested.

I was making reference to a meme, azi :P


Ah, that would explain it. I did notice the hashtag part, but I answered the question, just in case. I'm not good with memes, as I am rather old-fashioned, I'm not so good with 21st century concepts.

Well, speaking of Renegade and Paragon, I suppose I can share a few things about that. In Mass Effect 2, I recently was informed of the side-quest for Samara, and after wandering my ship for like five minutes, finally found her. So, I go to the bar place, save this girl somehow, beat up a few guys, and then all of a sudden, Morinth appears. I thought to myself, 'well, that was easy'. I was expecting a classic dialogue-choice-based continuation, but that wasn't needed. The game went to her apartment, so I saved, exited the game, then continued my Mass Effect fanfic for a bit. Currently finished breakfast and did some yard work.

The Paragon/Renegade system in Mass Effect 2 seems to be, say, not black-and-white, as sometimes doing a Renegade option makes you do the right thing (or at least what I'd consider right). I thought the bar scene in the Samara side-quest was pretty fun, I wish there was more of that in the other bars. Like, my Shepard also almost got poisoned in one bar then a turian killed that bartender, got drunk and woke up in a washroom in another bar, and that was all pretty fun, but I think there should be way more mini-scenes/conversations in more bars more often. There's still no bar-fight yet I've encountered (though in the first game there is a shoot-out in Fist's bar), I think that's what's missing.
