[PERMISSIONS v2] OPT IN/OUT
Sep. 11th, 2021 09:32 am
Hi all,
Witchers are equipped with a number of items, spells and abilities that make them adept monster hunters and incredibly difficult people to RP. I've created a super basic form for you to opt in/. Feel free to use it, write your own blurb or just PM me during a thread to let me know if something should or should not be detected.
Medallion Detection:
Here is a link to the wiki page page for a comprehensive explanation. Here is a quote that explains the gist of whether your character might make the medallion pulse.
"Medallions vibrate in response to magic in all its forms, including curses, charms, and spells. They also warn of lurking monsters born of magic or magic experimentation. However, witcher medallions are not foolproof, certain monsters such as dopplers and higher vampires remain undetected whenever in range of a medallion."
Scent:
Please let me know a brief description of what your character generally smells like. If something is different and detectable, write it into your tag and Geralt can react.
Pulse Detection/Truth Sensing:
Geralt can easily hear pulses and can use this to figure out if someone is scared/excited etc. He can also use it to hear someone coming.
You can also opt out of him using it to detect if your character is lying. If your character is not a good liar he can sense their pulse not matching their words. If they're a trained liar, he can probably miss this.
Ultra-Hearing:
This is more for characters who are super stealthy, Geralt can hear an elf nocking an arrow deep in the woods and their breath as they do so he has incredibly good hearing and it is hard to sneak up on him.
That said if your character SHOULD be able to, let me know and he won't hear them coming.
Axii:
Once again, a wiki link.
Axii is a hypnotic spell Geralt can cast, when it works he can use it to influence mood or actions. It doesn't seem to be able to work on some characters but because it is Witcher it doesn't explain why this is. I suspect it is not super effective on strong-minded, magical individuals. It works on monsters.
If you would prefer Geralt doesn't use this or you think it shouldn't be effective let me know.
Opt in/out:
no subject
Date: 2021-09-11 03:01 am (UTC)Medallion Trigger: N - Not a single drop of magic.
Scent: Cigarette smoke, cologne, soap, pomade, otherwise normal human dude smell.
Pulse Detected: Is an exceptionally composed liar.
Gait/Breathing: He's just a dude, he has no stealth modifiers.
Axii: N - He can make his savings throw for will.
Creeping Dust
Medallion Trigger: Y
Scent: Blood. Incense. Nothing when he's incorporeal.
Pulse Detected: His corporeal form has a pulse (distant and dampened sounding).
Gait/Breathing: His corporeal form breathes/etc, he can shed his corporeal form and transition fully to a liminal space off his current major physical plane.
Axii: N - And he would be shitty about the attempt.
V
Medallion Trigger: Y
Scent: Library smells. Ink. Paper. Oil lanterns and candles. Alchemical ingredients. Autumn.
Pulse Detected: Is a particularly composed liar.
Gait/Breathing: He can shapeshift. He can be a guy with two legs, he can be a giant spidertaur with eight legs, or he can be a literal shadow (which does not make any noise).
Axii: N - And he would be shitty about the attempt
Lady Ilde
Medallion Trigger: Y
Scent: Perfume, flowers, smoke, fire.
Pulse Detected: She's irrational, so I would say her pulse is an unreliable narrator. Not always wrong, but often ???
Gait/Breathing: She does have a stealth modifier, but I think he'd still catch on to her.
Axii: Maybe??????
