[up] Thor, go home, you're drunk—and scaring all of our animals! [shakes fist at sky]

By the way, I'm finally getting semi-decent sketches of my character, and holy shit, these are some of the best bangs I've ever drawn on the fly! Watch as I fuck them up when I have to outline them all!

Hey so what's the deal with Jotunblud? I'd assume animals become loyal, but is there also a telepathic bond or inherent vigil mark?

And are there wild bears in Norway? If only we had someone with a squad of scouts who could search around for wildlife.... Then we could send the bear into the mines first to scout around.[lol]

well, for one, we *all* can use it. Jotunblut like all the pantheon purviews come inborn to scions of that pantheon *just notes*

First level slightly boosts animal strength or stamina and makes them loyal to you for a month. Second level boosts human strength and/or stamina a little more and makes them loyal to you and grumpy around others for a month. Third level boosts human strength and/or stamina more than the second, and the loyalty lasts for three months. The boosts to physical stats don't expire the way the loyalty does.

That's all there is to it. Nothing about telepathy or vigil brands or anything, just mundane loyalty and a physical boost.

Huh, so did I super fuck myself by picking only one actual purview when everyone else is rocking two or three, then?

Not necessarily. Your relics should be more powerful to compensate.

I assume the rest of us will also try not to use it when your char is around ^^

Also in the game you technically still need to invest points into it, it's just that it's a skill inherent to all Aesir, not limited by which parent god you have.

I.e anyone has it/can develop it, but not everyone can use it/will develop it.

Ah, so anyone could unlock it, I'm just the only one who bothered to put points into it?

[looks at certain purview with longing]

By the way, were we all gone most of yesterday because of the World Cup, or was it just some weird Sunday thing?

Weird Sunday thing? Pretty much every RP suffers on the weekends.

Hm. Mine usually didn't do too badly. Maybe I was just lucky.

I guess it depends on the game. My fastest games slow to a crawl on weekends. Though some of my games that are super slow actually go faster on weekends due to people posting once they have some free time.

Also I glanced around the reference site, what sort of knacks do we have so far from our stats? Some of these are immensely useful and seem like stuff we'd bring up in this planning stage in the game, like shapeshifting, temporary invulnerability, and being able to throw a submarine 400 yards.

Those are high level knacks. Anyway, will post tomorrow morning. Sleep now.

Well yeah, those are the extremes, but even the starter nub powers are really useful. Like throwing a car at someone, super jumping, or being able to instantly Sherlock a scene.

I'm still not sure about this weather deal. Are Nordic scions supposed to be able to go around okay well enough in the snowy lands of their forefathers, or is this cold supposed to be a serious concern? Right now I don't know if the birds are making stupid taunts or saying something important.

math792d Since: Jun, 2011 Relationship Status: Drift compatible
#94: Jul 17th 2014 at 12:47:03 AM

The birds are just being total smartasses. Nordic Scions are no better or worse equipped for cold weather than regular mortals unless they have something like Epic Stamina or the Frost purview.

The snow is a concern in the way snow is always a concern - as long as you're equipped for it, it's fine. tongue

Our Benevolent GM asked me to let y'all know that he won't be posting until tomorrow because he's dealing with some personal issues.

Sorry about that disappearance. Real life got really, really scary for a few days there.

Anyway, I wanted to hear if you guys want to skip the negotiation phase of getting a car and just skip straight to the mines so we can get into the meat of things? Because in that case I'll just write up a longer post describing the mines themselves and we can have at it.
