What if common aggro animals (boar, wolf, warg) yielded lower quality leather etc than non-aggo (deer, fox...), or high-end aggro (big bear, big boar)? On top of that, what if the highest quality materials came from Hunting crafts with very long timers and high skill checks? That would make Hunting ...

Those guys! They had the person-tossing special attack, right? One of my very few human PCs died to being thrown off the bloody town walls. That was possibly the most awesome PVE death I've ever had

Spatting is an old orcish tradition that some seem to have forgotten the rules of. It's simple. The first person to draw a weapon or resort to coded combat is the loser. It's that simple This. People keep forgetting the importance of spatting, and the cultural background behind it. If an orc beats ...

Since when has it been a standard norm to spam search the moment you OOCly know your hide has been broken, and therefore you OOCly know something/body is in the room? How does your character know that? No, I haven't had a character revealed that way recently. It just boggles me when I see it happen ...

Remember when shields not only blocked arrows, but also blocked blows properly and gave your arm blunt damage when you blocked a really bad blow? However, we're derailing the thread...

I do agree that shield crafting could use some loving.

I can imagine a few crafts would be okay to stay hidden - scouting for strawberries, that kind of stuff. But chopping trees? Silliness..

Timing worked much better for me this way, btw.

I do agree that the starting skillpoint pool seems a little on the low side, but not massively so. Otherwise, I do not really like the idea of rolling over skill points. RPP leading to overpowered characters has always been an issue on SoI, and one I didn't particularly like. That said, I hate the o...

^ What they said.

Give the player an option to see their pfiles? Yes. But not automated, so that the RPA handling it can edit out parts - some notes might contain sensitive info about plots or other characters. OR, make only pfiles from the previous year visible. RPI players are generally mature enough to handle a bi...

In my experience, the crafts that say 'Familiar' are usually pretty damn difficult to do - and my assumption is that that is a feature rather than a bug ;-) The skill level mentioned in the materials list seems to mean the minimum level where you have a decent chance to succeed, and seems to general...

It'd seem honing is borken in case of spear components specifically.

Not really broken, but inconsistent: carve short-tool-haft uses 1 whole a $woodcolor block of $woodtype wood carve long-tool-haft uses 1 whole a $woodcolor plank of $woodtype wood build weapon-haft and build weapon-hilt use One use out of a whole $woodcolor block of $woodtype wood You get one tool h...

Maybe give the orcs a different set of 'forge x-component' crafts? Everything would be the same, just the blade description would be different. Ie scimitar instead of longsword - much more canon!

Amen to that.

Merry Christmas, Happy Festive Season, Happy Holidays, or whatever else it is called in your country!

carve leather-mold doesn't seem to have any timer. Intentional?

oh, forgot to mention... Currently torches are uncraftable by orcs, due to us not having access to fabric. That's a pretty big deal when you live in a dark mountain. Perhaps animal fat and rawhide would make a usable alternative to cloth torches? Or even just add 'a ragged patchwork tunic' and 'a r...

*snap*

ta!

Yeah. Colors.

Somebody remind me what the color tags are? Been too long...

How about a timer that prevents you from searching in the same room for a set amount of time, similar to how Forage works? Maybe not -that- long. Like... 5RL minutes or so?

The only thing is the problem of twinkish NPCs spamming hide with no emotes...

Even using the IP address, doesn't go through. Connection refused.

Any particular reason why 'a $pquality hand-axe with a $leathercolor leather-bound haft' doesn't work for woodcraft-timberwright crafts? If not, could we have it added?
