RE: :: Q&A :: - Aithniel - 09-10-2015
How many characters are required in a group before you can get a Secret board?
It's always been 5 :) (5 active members with different players to be specific)
Is there a specific number of members required before a band can post invasions against herd lands?
There are currently no invasions still as that process is still being worked out. It is in question whether or not to continue having invasions at all as the admin are trying to find the most fair but still competitive way to achieve mobility. Since most of our invasions have been fraught with hurt feelings, accusations and general upsetness, this is something we have to consider. Otherwise, you have to have at least 3 (according to old rules).
Can you ask for more than one god with a VotG pass, or would you require a pass for each god summoned? And would a quest by multiple gods require a different task from each one, or would it be comprised into one difficult quest?
Due to admin time and strain, only one god will come. Separate VOTG passes are required for more than one god. Typically the gods do not work together - so you would have to do them separately.

*** Ammending
Some gods WONT show up when another one is there either, depending on if they like each other at all.
RE: :: Q&A :: - Erthë - 09-23-2015
Do we need an item pass for items gifted or created IC? ex if a character is given a feather, or if a character without crafting rank tries to make something.
RE: :: Q&A :: - Blu - 09-23-2015
Feathers, beads, braids etc are so small we actually don't even record them, so those are fine. Anything else though would require a pass of the character is not a crafter/doesn't have crafting magic.
RE: :: Q&A :: - Murtagh - 09-26-2015
does a character have to be a certain age before they approach the veins looking for a quest?
RE: :: Q&A :: - Ophelia - 09-26-2015
does a character have to be a certain age before they approach the veins looking for a quest?
No! You can go to the veins no matter what age with a VOTG pass :D However, currently, all of our gods are "busy" (defeating rift gods, yannow). We will let you know when the veins are open again.

RE: :: Q&A :: - Ki'irha - 10-01-2015
I have a question about "Others." Other than not being a creature on the companion list, are their other rules or limitations? For example, are perytons, winged animals that don't normally have wings, or creatures like cynogriffons allowed?
RE: :: Q&A :: - Tamme - 10-02-2015
Creatures that don't normally have wings are not allowed, no. The animal cannot be something that is extinct past 100 years or so, and I think cynogriffins are just basically griffins? So that would be a no there because of the companion list.
@Ki'irha
RE: :: Q&A :: - Ki'irha - 10-04-2015
So if it's an established magical creature that isn't on the companion list, it would be allowed? Or are we better off posting it on our OOC wishlist thread or asking an admin so it's on an individual basis, and there's no confusion?
And would winged animals be accepted if a hybrid pass was used? Or are hybrid passes reserved for horse hybrids?
RE: :: Q&A :: - Tamme - 10-05-2015
If it's an established mythical creature that isn't on the companion list, it would be allowed, but you are better off posting in your wishlist for approval.
Also, since hybrid passes are somewhat rare, we really don't like them to be used on non-equine creatures since this is, after all, an equine site!
RE: :: Q&A :: - Imonada - 11-11-2015
I am a bit confused about the item pass. So even if someone were to gift/give you something ICly (larger than small), you'd need an item pass first before?
RE: :: Q&A :: - Blu - 11-11-2015
No, if someone gifts you something in character, then that item 1. already exists int heir records and we transfer it to your records or 2. they use their item pass/have crafting magic and make it for you, at which point we use the thread to justify adding the item to your records.
An item pass is useful for if you want an item that doesn't exist yet in anyone's records or you don't have crafting ability to make.
RE: :: Q&A :: - Ki'irha - 12-04-2015
Have participation prizes been decided for everyone who entered the land description/manip contest? I'm not sure if I missed it, or if it just hasn't happened yet.
RE: :: Q&A :: - Tamme - 12-08-2015
@omg I can't tag your name
They have not been decided, but it will probably be an amulet of some kind :)
RE: :: Q&A :: - Erthë - 12-08-2015
Does items won/gifted through swp events count towards the item maximum? and does Genetic manipulations like extra magic pass etc count as items too?
RE: :: Q&A :: - Tamme - 12-08-2015
Items won through SWP events DO count!
The only things that don't count are the following:
- Charms
- One use items like blood or shocky stuff
- Amulets
- Single feathers
- Single earrings
- ie, very, very small things
- genetic mutations (as it's not really an item, it's a gene)
RE: :: Q&A :: - Ashamin - 12-08-2015
@Tamme thanks for clarifying Chan's question, I was also wondering! So something that is still in their records may not necessarily count? IE, Ashamin's little stone in his horn and his blood vial, by these standards? (And I was hoping to have him keep things like shells from Lochan's hatched eggs and his companion's milk teeth, would these not even go in records then, or go in but not count?)
And following up on that, is there a way for us to easily tell if something counts towards our total/fits the above criteria or should we just be checking with admin about our total if we are unsure?
RE: :: Q&A :: - Tamme - 12-09-2015
@Ashamin
The BEST thing to do is to combine all those small items into some sort of trinket that contains them all. That way your records are not obnoxiously long but it still accounts for the important stuff. The best thing to do would be to double check with an admin if you are unsure :) The milk teeth and the eggs are unnecessary to include as they are mostly anecdotal.
RE: :: Q&A :: - Tembovu - 12-19-2015
Damage Roll Question:
Is the damage derived from an attack based on the number rolled (1-6), the character's damage stat, or a combination of both?
RE: :: Q&A :: - Blu - 12-19-2015
"■ Translating Dice Roll to Damage – The damage dice is a six sided die so there is a scale from 1 to 6. There is no exact scale by which you should translate damage. Rather, you should take into consideration your opponent's damage stat in combination with the dice roll that is given to you. A dice roll of 1 is the lowest there can be, so your character should take the lowest damage. Similarly, a dice roll of 6 is the highest there can be, so your character should take the highest damage. The other dice rolls should be somewhere in between. Typically, the judge will consider the dice roll when deciding if you took enough damage in response to the dice."
From the Battle Guide.
So you'll see above it says you consider your opponent's damage stat and the value of the dice roll. This is not to say that you need to add numbers or do percentages or anything like that, but consider that although a bruise (damage roll 1) is still a bruise, it can hurt more depending on who gave it to you.
ex.
If a 5 year old girl punches you, you arm is bruised, and it kinda hurts, like a damage roll of 1.
If a buff marine soldier punches you, you arm is bruised, and it really hurts. Just because he's a soldier doesn't mean you arm suddenly pops off, but the bruising will probably be more extensive, deeper, wider, more immediately tender. Still a damage roll of 1, still a bruise, but more damaging.
If a 5 year old girl hits you with a crowbar, your arm is maybe dislocated or utterly unusable, a damage roll of 6.
If a buff marine soldier hits you with a crowbar, your arm is probably broken, a damage roll of 6.
Does that make sense? The dice roll of 1-6 is always to keep the damage scaled, but the extent of that damage does vary with your opponent's damage stat, hence why greater damage stat means more HP is lost.
