Andres, the different is so unimportant, that it makes me wonder why you even brought it up.
I need 1k worshippers to get Essence. Unless I have that many worshippers, I can't determine if the experiment was a success or a failure.
It's 4E to make a race, not to make souls, first off.
Races have souls. I made a race of souls.
No council ruling has ever stated that we can make souls outside of a body to contain them in, technically.
No Council ruling has ever stated that we can't make souls outside of a body to contain them in either, which is what allowed me to do so.
i'm pretty sure we're not allowing sphere discounts on something as basic as "make mortals,"
Well they don't have corporeal bodies and are technically dead...
elsewise TBF could overwhelm everyone with a 50% discount on his generic humanoids, i should be getting a discount on Keardai because they're craftsmen (hell, even more, because they tell stories too)
25% discount, but why not? There's no Council ruling saying your sphere can't give you discounts on making mortals. There IS a Council ruling saying you get a discount on things related to your sphere, however. If mortals are related to you sphere, why can't you get a discount on them?
Christine has ensured that details of these scandalous events enter circulation among the mortals, possibly leading to a drop in faithfulness in general and a definite drop in readership from the foremost intellectuals (few as they are).
This is hilarious, but why did this happen?
