Yeah, just wanted to clarify. I just thought it was odd that my aunt (who would normally be more senior in rank than me) would come along as my lieutenant.
When dealing with large, divine, possibly drunkenly incestuous families, there are often more important factors than age or generational proximity. Notably, as somewhat implied by the fact that your good friends only have one trait, you all are generally assumed to be pretty talented for your relative positions and power levels.

Speaking of which...
How many interactions and miracles can our servants do per turn?
Just one. You're all very talented.


I'll have to ponder the mind control issue a bit.

I don't suppose Motivated has an effect on this? Also, is that one interaction and one miracle, or is it one interaction or one miracle and nothing else.

I'll have to ponder the mind control issue a bit.

Like I said, I'm willing to roll a perception check or am with fine totally doing something else. I had always thought of godmodding and power playing as taking control of another character and making them do something, but if using my actions to respond to other's actions counts, then I'd rather do something else. I'd prefer to keep things fair.

Do we get any feedback on our actions before the turn is through? Or do we put in all our actions and then interaction happens at the turnover...

One and that's it. Positive traits don't add new actions directly, but they can make the entity in question more inclined to do as you ask, so they can indirectly increase actions per turn.

I'm not fond of using actions to react to actions in progress for cleanliness reasons- it has the potential to create these weird arms race/standoff situations that makes getting actions out and processed tricky. I'm also not fond of not giving players the chance to react to things, though, especially over the course of a month.

Noticing the actions/changes is possibly even trickier but probably has a more natural resolution. I do think you're overstating your experience with mind control, though, since just having access to the same worlds as a lot of mind controllers isn't the same as living and breathing the stuff yourself. On the other hand, the person in question does scream mindrapey cultist.

I suspect your turns will be far too unwieldy to handle all at once, so I'm probably going to have to chip through them a few actions at a time. I'll probably try to handle the Interactions first where appropriate, so that you can chat with them while your other actions are being processed.

That sounds reasonable. For the sake of simplicity, I'll just write up a different action and address the creepy monster person later when its clear that their special skill is working. Especially on an action like this where my character would just respond negatively on principle and not for any real damage. Sorry to mess up everything on the first turn  :-[

Well that's the first half of half the players' Interaction halves of the turn up.

A good omen indeed! :P

That should be everyone's talky things.

Do the effects of traits stack?

For example, if I crafted a Ring of Fleeing, would I get a +2 from Shrieking Shell (coward) and a +2 from Twitching Tentacles (speed)?

Yeah, traits stack.

vish, you still want to give the forging tools to Praise and train Stemmas?


Grinding through the turn continues. I should probably cut down on the number of actions everyone has.

Sorry to double post, but am I allowed another interaction since the one with Stemmas was cancelled?
((I will be cool with it if not  ;D.))

You get to reassign the training, but the meeting wasn't canceled, just unpleasant and short.

Well that rather defeated the point of using a miracle to try and increase their speed while maintaining health.  :(
