Strolen's Citadel: Browsing valadaar's Comments

More then a hundred years ago - after the battle which created the City of the Swamp, a crocodile, already large by any account, devoured a nearly-destroyed 'thing', one of the weapons of either the city, or it's enemy. This was not the end of it, and instead of simply becoming food for the great beast, it joined and fused with it.

It weakness had shattered its mind, preventing it from taking over the croc. Instead, the being exists as a passenger within the Croc, seeing and experiencing everything it does. It does lend a degree of supernatural power to the Croc, which is how it has survived in the ruins of the city for so long. It is one the reasons The Pack is no longer as powerful as it once was, attacking from below the water and dragging pack members under.

Good listing, though I find the flavour text "You rub the lamp. There is a hissing sound and a puff of gasses erupts from it and solidifies into a..." a bit too repetitive to be worth keeping.

Would not have thought it possible to come up with this many maggots :)

Some of the entries could do with trimming

The Festival of Prataan
Systems (Divine/ Spirit) (General)

valadaar's comment on 2013-03-05 01:34 PM

I think that without a figure like Saraya using supernatural knowledge to obtain the correct 'number', the festival would only partially successful each year.

For example, most deaths in such societies would be from such things as disease and starvation, things not really possible to do in the space of a festival. So, this festival would mainly be used to reduce the numbers of murders and 'accidents'. Memories of those deaths that were not prevented in the past year would be a big driver - closing the barn door as it were.

But in truth, it may be quite ineffective, as it would be impossible to know if there were enough deaths of a certain type to cancel them all, not without a ridiculous amount of actuarial work. It would help sweep the streets of n'er do wells though, and a convenient means for a corrupt ruler to remove enemies.

I love meta discussions about magic systems. I think while it does have an association with D&D due to the inclusion of Vancian magic, I do not think it overy so.
