Forum of Lies Neutral Creation Competition

only royal blood carries over as a passive. all others are class specific. that’s how it’d been run in fol for years.

long story short we need to change class card format and put these damned things into the cards
we need good rules as written

Why would you not carry passives over
And which passives. What do you do with granted passives? Gained passives?

because passives are class-specific and are abilities tied to a particular class, and stay with that classname and ability set unless otherwise stated?

we don’t carry over all our abilities when we become king do we

The Starseeker :shield: :fire:

Neutral Investigative

Star Map (Passive) At the start of the game, three constellations will be formed comprising of three distinct players each. Additionally, you may guess a constellation pair once per night.
Lucky Star (Passive) You are death immune once. You will suicide the following night after accomplishing your goal.

Asterism (Day) - Choose a dead player. You will be told if they are part of a constellation and if yes, which one. (2 use)

Stargaze (Night) - Choose a player and identify if they are part of a constellation. If they are, you will be told their class and constellation. (inf use)
Galaxy Cross (Night) - Learn which constellations visit your target tonight. (2 use)

Correctly guess a pair of players for each constellation.

King cannot be part of a constellation

@DatBird

Occ/Redirection immunity, bleed immunity and royal blood were always kept cuz it makes no sense to not keep them. And it is important for balance. Often you convert occupy immune classes to gain that sweet occimmune CL/Assa
What are you doing with granted and gained passives?
But yea, wrong thread for this. We are neutral here :joy:

balance is not an issue about the way you think things ought to be. it makes far more sense from a balance perspective to assume that passives are not carried over.

it’s better to assume as little as possible then provide exceptions to the room
and in my mind having occ immunity carry over through promotion doesn’t make sense
it’s far too swingy and puts way too much emphasis on the (basically random) N1 convert

The Council :shield: :fire:

Im not sold on the class type bonuses so they are very much subject to change

just @ me if they do :slight_smile:

i might actually make council influence uses tied to plot points hrm

thoughts on that

it be cool. As long as the plot point system is not too fast at ramping imo

you can gain at most 1-2 a night
then again you could be incentivized to save for coup if the king dies early and you think the person who got on the throne was not their alignment

basically council imo is very read heavy and potentially very strong if you can read correctly

nothing wrong with a high skill class tbqh

tldr

add it you cowards
