Here you can ask questions relating to the Standing Trials roleplay to everyone in the community. All members are welcome to assist here. PLEASE NOTE: Q & A answers which are more than 2 years old / very specific, are best asked again. Standing Trials is a dynamic and changing world - these forums represent the best answer at the time.
/gallery/image.php?album_id=143&image_id=4097 The PSF
New Subforums
So, one of the things that has changed in the new site is that the new PSF is visible to everyone. This provides us an opportunity and so, this morning I've created some subforums in there - for completed / approved threads....
The Website: Standing Trials ( / ), referred to through the rest of this thread as the website , our website , the site , our site , Standing Trials , and Trials .
You: The person reading these words right now.
The Staff: All users who are identified as...
The Q&A Forum has been restructured on June 2, 2019. Now, instead of a bunch of different subforums for different questions, we're going to have you put all questions in this main forum. We ask that you use title tags to indicate what your question might be about.
Hiya, just popping in to ask if other forms of narrative are acceptable to use here. I have a post that uses a playwright narrative (e.g. Kotton (thinking): abcd, Supervisor 1: looks to supervisor 2, and so on.) If I need to post the thread I'm talking about for more explanation, let me know. I am...
I see that wells have offensive and, in some cases, latent power. Do you have to pick between one or the other when you're crafting an item or can an item utilize both properties?
Example: a windstar staff that emits a jet of wind and also weighs almost nothing
The purpose of this thread is to make sure I understand the process so I don't inadvertently break rules or screw up :D If something I said is wrong please correct me! My goal is to have Luvi happen across a fracture and gather some low level wells so she can start her ensorcelling journey.
Since Goku finally has some wells, I am interested in making some ensorcelled items with them. The Hone and Wells write-ups have a bit about putting the power of runes in a well. If I do this, am I right to assume that this would automatically require a psf submission because the item would stray...
Power From Fear ~ A power that allows the Bearer to strengthen themselves, this power relies on the fear of others. The more people the Bearer has affected with their Fear powers, the stronger the Bearer grows. Rather than growing their physical strength, this power increases the frequency with...
As Luvi experiences more and more combat I find myself asking more questions about what her capabilities actually are without having to worry about overstepping, etc.
1) Are umbral traps visible? The only hint I found is that umbral runes “often” take the appearance of dark inky shadows. I was...
If I made a blood alchemy potion that granted domain magic powers like moving rocks or changing shape, would performing those actions cost the drinker his ether? It seems almost too good to be true for someone to get entire cycles of no-overstepping casting from a single potion but that's what I...
I just learned that there's knowledge, xp, etcetra in the UCP and things have been recently automatically populating in there. How do I add things from my character sheet to it?
Solid Shadow ~ Solid Shadow allows the Bearer to have their shadow reach into the physical world as a solid being. While the shadow initially has a strictly mortal form, this still allows the Bearer to use their shadow to their benefit, even more so as their Effigy progresses...
had a question about travel time, mounts, and hone
is there any issue with a lucis granting their mount extra speed and endurance to cut travel times down? Likewise, my character has wings, so could I cut his travel time down as well? It makes sense to me logically but I realize it would reduce...
I found a couple links when searching for how to craft on the wiki
A guide to crafting metal items
Crafting Primer
They seem to conflict each other. The first details the number of threads we need to make things. The second suggests that you don't have to explicitly write out most mundane...
I had some questions about magic that I came across while reading earlier.
Necromancy:
How long does it take to raise someone who just died? Is it an instant thing, or is there some kind of process? I couldn't find any mention of time on the page.
I understand that to remove a spark I need to talk to a mod and all that, but I was wondering if it must be done before a character reveals. Or put in other words, can you remove a spark if you've already revealed?
I am planning on buying a scythe and I needed help figuring out what I can realistically buy.
1) Are we allowed to buy something that's masterwork?
2) can we get any metal that doesn't say it requires psf?
3) can we have the weapon color be whatever we like? I see some metals have a distinct...
Hone's speed rune allows us to move faster but not think faster. If we are not lucis and therefore don't have access to the rune that lets us process mentally at faster speeds... how fast can we reasonably be?
My goal is for my character to have a mix of strength and speed runes active at all...
If a flora/fauna entry says that there are secrets to be discovered about the plant/animal (eg. here ), is discovering them a matter of getting mod input on the discovery thread, or is it a matter of making up the discoveries as you write/selfmod the thread?
I was looking at the NPC page and got to wondering how we are meant to encounter stronger people, such as a rival that's always besting you even when you're an expert or a mage that killed your friend that you're hunting down.
I might be mistaken, but I think those NPCs are limited to being...
Hiya! So while I was writing about thrall counts as Netzach's Mentor, Hod. It suddenly struck me that protocol allows one to place a well inside of a thrall and allow it to act without the expenditure of ether and direct control of the Necromancer.
But does it still continue to count against the...
So the description for Haunt in the wiki states: Unlike any other undead type, a Haunt can be shaped to the necromancer's whims while it is in existence, manifesting claws, teeth, or any manner of weapons and additions the necromancer needs. While relatively fragile, it can easily be reformed with...
So, I'm wondering if the Shadow Illusions skill from Kuvarakh's Effigy encompasses more senses than the visual? For instance does it affect tactile sensation, auditory, taste, smell? Etc?
I ask because it being tier 2 I'd almost expect it to outclass glamour, but I'm not sure. The visual aspect as...
Something I've wondered about. Since drugs are technically the province of poisoning (which was wrapped into Medicine during the Skill Scale Down), would it be possible to absorb or create a drug that has all the effects of that drug with Kuvarakh's effigy? And then use it in their breath weapon or...
