- Get rid of the blessing tree. Replace <addition> high end </addition> blessings with more freeform rites with more god relevant results or abilities, such as the results of current blessings but also personal rites, etc. (ie, get rid of it as transferable power, ref discretion as to who actually gets it)
- Additionally: Deities which currently grant the Blessing tree will each be assigned an appropriate replacement miracle tree by the ref team, except Balance. Characters who have invested XP in Blessing miracles may either replace those miracles with their equivalents from their deity's new miracle tree, or may be refunded the XP for them. --Valtiel
Affected Gods (possible suggestions for replacement tree) - set of four that would give them
- Luca - Knowledge, Mind Control, Smite Soul - (cursing???)
- Bast - Healing, Mind Control, Smite Body -
- Azrael - Purity, Smite Body, Valour - (smite soul???)
- Humact - Healing, Smite Soul, Valour - (Smite body?????)
- Mallan - Smite Body, Smite Soul, Valour -
- St John - Healing, Purity, Smite Soul - (Valour??????)
- Possible other idea is making blessing I to IV into a seperate mini blessing tree available to all gods.--Malselene
- I like this idea. Also if we're doing that, St John should get Valour. --Pufferfish
- I'd like to try to maintain every god has four destinct trees that are not the same as another gods for flavour. Let trying to make it work commence --Malselene
- I think that St John should have Cursing, that way he's a bit more like the authoritive head of the pantheon that he should be --Joey
- For reference, the other gods get:
- Justice - Cursing, Knowledge, Purity, Smite Soul
- Morvana - Healing, Knowledge, Smite Soul, Valour
- Light - Knowledge, Purity, Smite Body, Valour
- Crofter - Healing, Purity, Smite Body, Valour
- Sordan - Healing, Mind Control, Smite Body, Smite Soul
- Vivamort - Cursing, Smite Body, Smite Soul, UNDEAD
- Balance - N/A
- Looks like we could use another miracle tree... *dodges thrown fruit* --V
- Suggestion - could valour be split into two trees, one of defensive buffs one of offensive buffs. take the non broken bits of blessing and combine with floating armour into a defensive buffs and come up with some other offensive ones to go into valour. *ducks* --Malselene
- I like this, especially if we just kill blessing levels 5-7 dead dead dead, with optional replacement. --Pufferfish
- Is transferrable power by ref fiat better than transferrable power by codified system? Discuss. --Valtiel
- Less-bad. But it does put the refs in the unfortunate position of needing to say 'no', when expectations run rampant. --I
- I think the big problem with Blessing is the duration. How about replacing Blessing and Valour with a "Blessings" tree of 5-minute buffs usable on others or yourself (which means a big change), and a Valour tree of self-only buffs (which doesn't involve much changing, except the "give other people spirit damage" miracles would move to Blessing and need replacing with self-only stuff.)--Jacob
- The problem is when "transferrable", "inflict duration", and "immunity" all occur on the same miracle. I'll take a look at the possibility of splitting self-only Inflict buffs from target-other five minutes buffs. --Valtiel
- As a note taking blessing completely out means that freeze becomes relatively even more powerful hence if blessing goes as a full tree giving all gods blessing 1 to 4 should hopefully prevent that being so much a of a problem. --Malselene
Submitted motion a) gives all gods blessing 1 to 4 b) Doesn't stop refs giving priests particulary well-liked by their god funky rites that do similar things. - Corinthus
