Orclach and Taurian are vaguely plausible as Nihilists, I guess. You'd do fine in combat (guardian combat does not strongly depend on stats), so if you're willing to invest 275 credits on getting a whip, or get all your XP from aetherbashing, you co…
Really, Magnagora should be "City of the Taint" instead. One of my worst pet peeves is people assuming Magnagora=Evil and that if you're not stomping on kittens, you're RPing your Mag character wrong.

If your Recommended list has no options a newbie likes, they will ignore your recommendations and pick something off the Neutral list instead. If the Neutral list has everything except the two worst and two best options, it prob…

My Recommended list isn't based on "What races go well with Cantor when optimizing a race/class build to do great at one part of the game?", but rather on "Which Cantor/race combos would let a new player try out every part of th…
My theory was to treat Restricted as "!!FORBIDDEN!!", Neutral as "These are terrible ideas." and Recommended as "Choose something from this list.", since that's how I would have read the options back when I was a novice.
Nexus Adjudicator 500cr: Allows you to use the command ADJUDICATOR <id> ATTUNE <nexus> while in the same room as a nexus of power. Doing so makes a note in the city logs. If the Power Minister in charge of that nexus subsequently us…
For a vaguely more legal option: the Celest government buys esteem in bulk at 25 gold per and (as far as I know) doesn't have any trade bans in the way.

Steingrim's suggestion seems to boil down to "Adjust the chance of rubbed curio turning into gold to scale with the number of curios you've rubbed this month. More curios rubbed means a higher chance of ending up with gold."
o The short names for cities and guilds (e.g. "celest" or "institute") can now be used as alias for CT and GNT, respectively, assuming you are a member of the organization.
look raklang He is a fiendish irontongue viscanti and is damn sexy. Looking at him you fear for your life, knowing your death is soon imminent. Fire courses through your veins from your intense lust for such a good looking son of a bitch. As yo…
Alternative idea: Dodging gives 10% damage negation per level, plus access to the DODGE command. Using DODGE takes two seconds of balance and gives you two seconds of strong and non-random affliction resistance. Maybe something like in Overhaul AcrobaticsComment by MoiNovember 2013
Honestly, I'd be happy to see Focuses go away. It's currently a rather big skill tax for combat (you need Focus Mind to be a serious combatant, and your response to certain combos depends strongly on your Focus Body time). Making a large investment …

This is mostly possible with Auric due to strong self-synergy between Auric 3 and Auric 4. The time mean time* between reishi curings is 8s at level 4, which means that an attacker can get off 2 aeon tarots for every one time yo…
Scaling damage to raw max is another option (and, I'm starting to think, maybe the best option), but it would require that the effects of Curses/Blessings be shrunk down to match. Currently level 3 HealthCurse drops your max health to 73% of normal,…
My problem is this: Hollimar starts out at 4500/4500 health. If Raklang uses a L5 DCC with no octave on Hollimar, he hits for 1669 damage - 37% of Hollimar's current health If, instead Raklang uses Majorseventh on him three times, Hollimar…
Avenging angel is activated, but does ongoing passive afflictions on a timer for around a minute once used. I haven't checked if the tic rate and duration are still the same, but it's definitely not a one time 2/4 attack.
I think what Estarra is getting at is that dodging in the overhaul lets you avoid the whole attack, includingafflictions, and a % damage reduction from dodging does not. Which is a big nerf to dodging. And there's no good way to handl…
