Re: Questions from Discord - Ongoing Thread

General Questions and Lore Q: Which God is your favorite creation, Rias? A: Favorite Immortal, hrrrrm. I don't think I could pick just one. I've always been particularly fond of the Mountain Father, Serafina, Malfant, Toteoh, and Verungnr. And Teonanacatl! So cool. I like Serafina largely because s...

Re: Occultism and Arcana as Alternatives - Unique Character Concepts at High Skill

I think the difference here is that if you put points in locksmithing or tracking that means you're the expert. It also means you have all the ability points available to each of those skills to spend on just those areas because there are fewer branches. In Arcana you would have ability points to sp...

Re: Intuitive Learning

I think with climbing, even if ropes are lowered, you have to have at least basic skill to use it properly.

Intuitive Learning

With the allocation of points into specific skills, it seems like there's not a lot of wiggle room to branch out even with some things that seem like they should be more intuitive or utility-only. I was wondering if it might be possible for these "intuitive" skills to be able to get progre...

Questions from Discord - Ongoing Thread

General Questions and Lore Q: When will COGG become IC? A: IC will be as soon as I open it up, since the lore's already all figured out, and I think I've got all the basic mechanics in a decent state. So, it should actually be soon. Q: What does Contrarium Mean? A: I've had various nicknames and ot...

Re: Abilities and Skills

Thanks for answering those. Now I have MORE questions! Will all abilities from CLOK be assigned a skill they fall into - both guild and non-guild abilities? Will some abilities not have a skill requirement at all? Will abilities be gated by certain skill tiers or will their success rates just vary b...

Occultism and Arcana as Alternatives - Unique Character Concepts at High Skill

With the idea in mind that characters with points in the same skills should still have the capability of being unique, I wanted to offer up some ideas for potential high-skill Arcana abilities. These could (in theory) replace some physical skills or abilities to some extent, but depending on how the...

Re: Abilities and Skills

Sorry in advance for the large number of questions incoming. Just trying to make sure I understand how things will work. I assume the previous response means there will be multiple ability points unlocked per tier of skill point. And then depending on that skill there may be fewer or more ability op...

Re: Abilities and Skills

Not confusing at all. Does this mean there will be at least 7 abilities related to every skill you can point into at some time in the future or will those stay fairly consistent with what was already in Clok?

Abilities and Skills

I was hoping to hear more about how abilities and skills will work together in this new system. It seemed to me that with Somnium abilities were non-existent and various access and capabilities occurred with the different levels of skill assigned. But in Clok skill levels unlocked specific abilities...
