Voicechat notes 30 July 2021

[nobody]

I did a less great job taking notes in the last half, so please chime in if you remember something that I've omitted.

- leather armor pricing still seems off
- The bandit camp(s) are new(TM), but not THE New Area(TM). That one is almost done, so everyone will see it soon(TM).
- Cultural views on body modification (tattoos and piercings): hasn't been thought about much. Giganti, Fasa, Faewyr all commonly have tattoos (and maybe piercings). Nuum are also cool with tattoos.
- Mechanics: difficult to play buckler with duelist because most abilities focus on dodge
- Rias has ideas for ("boring" numerical bonus) abilities as filler abilities to allow characters to fill out ability points
- skill points for abilities and/or increased caps for abilities: very complex to balance, so probably nope (or at least not before everyone has better ability options for all their ability points)
- considering opening up per-skill-caps to be less guild based
-- concerns that people would feel entitled to abilities if the capped a skill (non-warriors & warrior abilities / non-crafter-guild-members & crafting-guild-specific abilities)
-- skill is just basic training, abilities are the more exclusive advanced techniques
-- what differentiates primalists if all druids can cap druidry?
- suggestion: anesthesia and pain on suturing (and other stuff?) causing morale loss
- suggestion: duelists temporarily blinding people with the duelist's cloak
- suggestion: marauders temporarily blinding people with the victim's own cloak
- suggestion: marauders responding to a cloak parry with just yanking the cloak
- Rias needs to make an archer character so he can get in the headspace to make a ranged warrior class
- suggestion: Bolas, nets, and other weapons designed for capture
- mechanics: staggering blow and mighty blow require hand-and-a-half or two-handed weapons
- suggestion: maybe add a heavy tag for one-handed weapons that would be stagger appropriate?
- hair requires string contributions - contribute your hair style strings
- needed: textiles merchant

- Storytelling: possibility for hints towards what goes off well in the room based on Storytelling skill (i.e. a message that says your romance was particularly well-liked or disliked) to make it less random
- NotShadgard is also an independent org, like Shadgard and New Emberlight; not Mistveil.
