Also, it'd be nice if Kafgi mentioned the tracker channel when someone joined the tracker profession. |
Done  |
Hey Morrigan, can you add the information about the Tracker channel to level 5 also, please?

I did already. I'll look at it again when I'm IG but it should be working.
Edit: Yup, just leveled with my friend Kafgi and he told me about the channel. You only get the message if you're level 5, so if you're trying and you're not level 5 that's probably why you didn't get it.

Thanks for checking Morrigan, I didn't realize you had to be 5th.

Some new ideas, not sure if they should all stay non-magical, just some things that came to mind. Feel free to criticize:
1. Some kind of ability to mimic the natural abilities of wild cats, providing improved agility and coordination (balance and dexterity), as well as night vision and increased stalking skill for a short period of time.
2. Decreased chance per level (or maybe ranks of archery) of breaking bolts/arrows.
3. Volley? Higher level ability of being able to shoot multiple foes at once.
4. Trailmarking? Memorizing routes through maze-like wilderness areas.
5. Snipe...please, pretty pretty please.
6. Camoflauge? Ability to blend in (become invisible) with your wilderness surroundings without RT...but if you move/speak, you are visible again.
7. Scavenge? Ability to find more money when searching a creature.
8. Compost (yes, I know there is a DR spell called this, but it has the best name)? Ability to clean a wilderness area quickly of all debris. (Like using discard over and over again, without all the damn typing).
9. Reduced load time for archery weapons as level or skill increases.

Kafgi teaches something like this (can't recall what level I learned it) only we don't come out of hiding when we move or speak. Nor do I think we should.
I love a lot of your ideas though!!

These are just my opinions on things I see problems with...stuff I don't comment on I like.

We sorta have this...it's not tracker only and it's only with a certain type of bow, the star bows fire like 5 arrows at a time. Not sure how that works but...yeah. I'm against hitting multiple targets because it's just not possible to aim at two people with one bow.
| Quote: |
| 4. Trailmarking? Memorizing routes through maze-like wilderness areas. |
Like special bits of wilderness that's only navigable by trackers (basically like a profession only tunnel)? Sounds neat.
| Quote: |
| 6. Camoflauge? Ability to blend in (become invisible) with your wilderness surroundings without RT...but if you move/speak, you are visible again. |
Ya'll already have something like this? I didn't know about it...sounds cool if it's only in foresty areas...
| Quote: |
| 7. Scavenge? Ability to find more money when searching a creature. |
Don't see why not everyone would be able to find all the money....we already get increased cash the more you raise perception.
| Quote: |
| 8. Compost (yes, I know there is a DR spell called this, but it has the best name)? Ability to clean a wilderness area quickly of all debris. (Like using discard over and over again, without all the damn typing). |
Doesn't seem very necessary...and I see alot of "oops, sorry, didn't see your amazingly powerful weapon of doom lying on the ground there."

I was actually thinking of something a little different. That ability is for hiding and related activities, I was thinking more along the lines of a limited invisibility ability (which would keep people from searching us out), but any movement (basically any typing) on our part would knock us out. I also think it should require focus points or something to keep it from being used over and over as a means to attack repeatedly. This would be in addition to our other ability, not in exchange for.

I use a starbow (fires 5 bolts at once at one target), but that's a little different from what I was talking about. It is possible to aim and fire multiple arrows at once at separate targets, I've seen it done. I'm just unsure of if/how it would work with crossbows...anyway, it was an archery based suggestion for trackers, who should be able to continue to improve their proficiencies in archery above and beyond what other professions can do, providing they train the skill.

Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of being able to memorize permanently maze-like wilderness routes (without creating maps...which I can do but I like this better), like the chith harvester/hunter/lookout area...where we can traverse it quickly. The Tracker ability Navigate is neat, but it really doesn't help (from what I've seen) in navigating these maze areas and gives a huge RT. It tells me what I already knew, I can go east, north and northwest...but which of these are the right way and which only lead back to a room I just left?

See previous post.

I was thinking of something which worked along the lines of the Lucky trait, but for limited amounts of time. This wouldn't necessarily preclude any other professions from something similar with a different name, I just thought it made sense that we would be better at scavenging in the wilderness.

I don't.
Even if I wasn't of the opinion that, "You set it on the ground and you lose it, it's your tough luck."...there's another reason:
Because weapons and armor are not picked up by the janitor, therefore they wouldn't be 'compostable'. It would be more for people like me who like to dump all their boxes on the ground, then pick them all, get the loot...and then I have to pick each one up and discard or go off and leave a mess...and I'm lazy.

Re: Volley...
I created this in MO, and I'm sure Brenton will remember that. The idea behind a volley is not that you aim and shoot once with multi arrows and hit multi targets. The idea is that you fire a bow many times in succession with essentially no real level of aiming. Therefore you could intend or not intend to multiple targets, but either way, it does boil down to at least a minimally multi-target or multi-possible attack. Accuracy, however, would be crap. It would be entirely possible all your shits hit nothing.

Yes, I agree with this. I haven't seen that it really helps anything, maybe it's just part of a bigger design that's being planned? I hope!

Yeah, the comment I made about volley is wrong, I was thinking about it the wrong way, I blame it on sleep deprivation.
