half teasing

[HR-Beau]

To put things in an IC perspective....reality in a game, and reality in well...real life are NOT the same. Because Haelrahv is a game we quite often suspend the real world in order to make things fit, as Trevor has recently pointed out concerning weaponry adjustments. Likewise, in real life I could dabble in any one of numerous professions, and quite likely be good at all of them. But this is Haelrahv. This is a game. To make professions work there are going to be things that one profession can do better than another, and there will oftentimes be things that one profession can do that no other profession can even attempt. This is our reality.

Now if you need an IC reason that Artisans can make special tatoos that noone else can make, consider this....isn't it possible that they're taught a special technique that is required for doing the inking?

Since we're putting things into real-life perspective here, I find it only fair to point out that I've been bossing people around for my entire life, telling them to come, leave, and fetch me crap.

Now give me my damned droid.

oh, i know we need to suspend belief and say, "it needs to be seperate so professions have boons".

but, then there's also the question as to why everyone can dabble with basic artisan-based, mage-based, psionic-based, performer-based, and so-on based systems, but not basic tech-based systems.

this is a discussion for the sake of discussion, mind you. i have no intention of trying to raise a stink and say that everyone should get the gadget system.

So make it that Techs can buy droids and pawn them off to other people, a la the Trooper compound mules. Why is this so damned hard?

SOLDER! Jesus Christ! S-O-L-D-E-R.

I agree, though. I could easily put together a computer, but I couldn't wire a house or fix a microwave. I probably wouldn't even touch gadgets if I could (just like I don't make shirts even though I could), but I don't see why someone can't make an electronic thing or two with some training. Every argument I want to make is already hackneyed, so I won't go on longer.

Besides, how do you know this is tech-only. We haven't gotten an update from Drake in awhile and we don't even know when gadgets will come out...if they're on hold, or whatnot. There's a possibility that everyone can make simple gadgets. No one knows. So this thread should be put on hold until whenever Drake comes out with gadgets.

There are only four things that are Artisan-exclusive, not a one of them more than a few months old, tops. These are: Ishaik tattoos, high-capacity bags, weaving, and patterns. The latter three a month or less, actually. I know it's been said and said again, but there really aren't -any- abilities in the game that couldn't conceivably be emulated by someone else.
Additionally, as I've remarked elsewhere, I'm no slouch at repairing amp and transistor wireworks and coils, I've built more than my fair share of circuit boards for a living, and I do all the electrical and hardware work around the house. I've a pretty good grasp on the application of turbines and servos, and I could rebuild an engine with enough time. I've never taken a class or pored through textbooks, and I wouldn't consider myself an electrician or, in this case, Technician. I just applied a reasonable amount of common sense and natural know-how, and got better at it through experience. This kind of experience reflects the same kind of knowledge someone would get training in Electronics in game.
