I think I'll keep the Divine at three ranks. It'll be a little dangerous, but the armor is always good.
Plus it's not too hard to offset the elemental damage issue.
Just add more elemental damage!

These are the abilities I'll add for Dog:
Elemental Strike
Adjust Climate
Leap

Thanks friends.

I've been in the process of a potential new job and getting my shoulder rehabbed. Mostly done the latter, but the former is a change to graveyards if the goes through.

Not to say I'm ending this game, but may be a little sporatic in the next little while, and I thank you for your patience.

In the meantime, you guys can feel free to post about things your characters do during thier week waiting for equipment upgrades, and let me know if you need anything from me for that. I do check in daily, just don't always have time for a well thought out IC post.

Just today, I came up with a premise for a new Corruption I would like to add to the game, as well as a new kind of item, and an industrial upgrade to go along with them. I'll be posting the new content up on the front page and if anyone wants to swap the new power they picked to one of the new Void corruption, feel absolutely free to.

I also made a small adjustment to the Focus action mechanic based on feedback. Instead of being a free AT, you roll 1d6 and receive the AT on a success. Being completely free made it too easy to stand in place and trade attacks without really ever running out of AT. Adding the roll fixes that while not entirely removing the benefit of having the action available for when the Free action isn't needed for something else.

Brace, Recovery Run and the Iterative Recovery mechanics remain as they are (They haven't actually seen enough use for enough feedback to indicate if they are too good or not)

I recommend the crystals be a Cunning at Advantage to use. It makes sense that such a limited use thing 'wants' to be used - the magic is primed to take that certain shape and less likely to result in haunts/abominations.

Raptage has used Recovery Run[Flight]. It's worked out okay.

Reminds me some of the course shown in The Witcher, Season 2.

Moira puts 100 silver on Lloyd to succeed! :)

Sorry I've been kinda distant guys. The job fell through, so I'm still hunting. I've been checking in when I can for anything super in need of my attention for this game.

One quick note for anyone that looked at the new corruption, Inspire has been changed to Suppress and had the Link glyph added as an option. The effect is otherwise unchanged.

As for rolls for your training Flynn, go for it. Acrobatics is a big skill for Strikers, manditory for mounting deceivers, so feel free to make a few of those to cover the few days of training to see how you did, since it would be a large focus for your trade.

I like Moira's endevour to get soemthing going with the bullet guy. Might take her family a little time to investigate into it, but that seems like a reasonable path for her to go.

I don't know if Arkrite and Doctor Malsyn wanted to post something for their characters' week off / preparing, but I'll try to get the ball rolling very soon. Again, I am very sorry for the delay. Finding work has me almost ironically more busy than when I was actually working.

I do, I've just been a little sick. Hard to think for very long. Shame about what happened there, but we'll be rooting for you.

The new corruption magics all seem very interesting, and I think Ericka would make good use of them if I wasn't set on having taken Animated. Sorry I never mentioned my thoughts there.

Just a quick check in. I wish I could say things have improved. I guess if nothing else, this week long time off period for the characters provides a convenient explanation to players dropping out if they want.
