Birds of Prey and Aura
Would it be reasonable to have Kuari spot and capture some rodent during the evening?
In case I want to cast spells, the dominion aura is not above 3, right?
--Samuel 14:12, 17 March 2006 (PST)
In the evening, in 'The Three Lions', the aura in the inn is at 2, but earlier in the day, before sunset, the aura is 3.
- That's because there are a lot of people concentrated in the in during the day, the village of Church Stretton generaly has an aura of 2, right?
Hawks hunt during the day, I think, so your animal companion has already eaten. Assuming that coooked meat is fine for birds of prey, you could always give her a bit of his supper if you want. --James\\Talk 20:20, 17 March 2006 (PST)
- I was more thinking about adding some pieces to the story than worrying about it's food. Ohh.. I should have added "inside the west room" to that question.
I'm just letting you know that ordinarily, you would let it hunt during the day. If you want to let it hunt at night, then that is fine, though the bird would normally take a lot longer to spot and catch something.
Social reaction to Mages
By the way, is my view of the apperance of magic (from 'Basic assumptions') correct? To expand on it a little, my expectation of how magicians and the Fae are met/treated would be something like how the Jews was treated, and as differing between places and people. I guess that simile would work for frequency also. Is that correct? --Samuel 15:00, 16 March 2006 (PST)
The way people respond to fae characters is wholly different from the way that they respond to magi. I suggest you peruse the section on 'The Gift' in the main book again, as the effect on mundanes is actually really bad, rather than slightly bad. As for fae, you will see that in-game.
- Yea, I have read about The Gift. But how would people react if they saw Marcus doing some obvious magic? Or someone else w.o. The Gift making them biased, or the results of magic w.o. interacting with the mage, thus not getting affected by The Gift.
- Fae: Phaedrus has lived in Mythic Europe for a long time, and talked to a lot of people while trading with his parrents, I think he should have _some_ idea how people react to the Fae. Or are you telling me that meeting the Fae is so unusual that he has not met anyone who met them?
Phaedrus possesses faerie lore, and thus knows something about fae... you have a good idea how people react to them. Their vulnerability to iron is far from unknown, and this tends to feature prominently in typical church responses to their presence. The church has been propagating the notion that fae and demons are equivalent entities, while a notable group of devout christian magi are lobbying the church for leniency, and even acceptance, of all things fae.
Magical Animal Companion
I just realized that I know to little about my companion, the Kestrel, the only thing I _know_ is that it has human inteligence and probably has a Magic Might of 14. Does "Magical animal companions" usually speak? In that case I should be introducing Kuari when greeting people. --Samuel 14:12, 17 March 2006 (PST)
Your animal companion has 10 - size Magic Might, which is around 14/15, and an Intelligence characteristic, rather than Cunning. However, it is unlikely that it can produce human sounds. You could give it a special power with 0 cost that aided communication though, or higher if it worked at range. I'll generate the creature for you before it is taken out on adventure. --James\\Talk 13:49, 18 March 2006 (PST)
