It's on their pacts, so they imbue their angel/demon with it, and the angel/demon gives out passive shackles. That's how it's always been, that's the whole point of Celestialism/Nihilism!
Shackles is a longer writhe, that stacks with regular web/vine/ropes. So with passive shackles, a Celestine (or Nihilist) can deal an aff (like blackout for the Celestine) plus shackles PLUS web. So now you have to writhe twice or summer before you …
The stun is a bit more often than that (fae are 8s now, right?), but yeah. Hey, Shamans have a passive entangle! Granted, it's regular web and only happens an average of every 24 seconds (50% chance to hit on a 12 second timer, or do ~130 bleeding),…
Or it's cool that the standard for reports/additions has been turned on its head. Time to start proposing all kinds of things and using 'You have to provide reasons we shouldn't have xyz, it's not my job to argue why we should have it." I mean, ther…
Which is weird, because the primary reason to avoid statpacks is to preserve racial RP somehow. I agree though, being locked into certain races to be viable hurts racial RP, because the choice ends up being more OOC/Mechanically motivated than it i…
This isn't true. People tend to forget that there are large numbers of 'off-screen' npcs milling around. Serenwilde has a lot of 'on-screen' elfen and faelings living in the commune, that are stand-ins for what the LOOK messages…
Alternately, use the five stats proposed but toss out the automatic effects. No automatic speed bonus to skills with that pool, no automatic damage bonus to skills with that pool. Then, set damage 'manually', just as it is now. This will allow for a…
I agree with the above statements. It's going to be a nightmare to balance speed bonuses/maluses. Not only will it be by race, we'll have to balance around each individiual skill. Instead of TWO flavors of bonus/malus, there will be FIVE flavours to…
(Envoys): Marcella of the Ur'Guard says, "But artifacts for stats. Hnnm. Also, I'd be concerned about some classes being more single-attribute dependant than others."

She's saying that if you're going to dismiss one comment on x grounds, you can't support something else when it also satisfies x grounds. We had a similar argument a few weeks back, with reversed positions.
The bleeding changes would touch a lot of other guilds, and not everyone necessarily has the interest or expertise to weigh in on the details of the warrior-and-monk-specific parts of this section.
Well. I wouldn't say that Serenwilde has an atmosphere that produces 'rude' characters, it does attract a particular kind of player, due to its "pitch" during character creation. Each org tends to have a slightly different version of the same effect…
I'll post walkingtrance messages, one of them is an image of your loved ones dissolving to skeletons before your eyes. Visual tricks don't impress Shamans, they're constantly hallucinating all kinds of things.
