Random Tiny CODE Wants

[Marshmellow]

EDIT: OOPS, I should only post tiny code wants instead of derailing.

Want: Half-elves who choose to appear fully elven being granted master-rank allundean.

Tossing an idea out, building on this, and using made-up numbers...

So right now, all half-elves get something like 100% sirihish and 80% allundean, or close to that, from my observing... anyway, what if those looking human kept these numbers, those looking elven had them reversed and those looking obviously half-elven get to choose at chargen based on background?

If that's not the way it currently works, it totally should.

Eh.  The reason starting sirihish was bumped for full city elves and dwarves was because it didnt make since they wouldn't speak the common tongue.  Doesn't reason that half-elves would suddenly have that problem.

Both languages should be 100%.  It starts out high enough and the learning curve on languages by that point is infinitesimal that all it serves is pointing out newbs.

100%, both languages.  All the time.  What's it gonna break?

(or get rid of half-elves.  kank disease should kill the kanks best friend too ;-)

there isn't a person on our planet that doesn't have a complete knowledge of one tongue by the time they're an adult, save the ones with mental problems. half-elves having no culture, should also not have their own special language. i agree with the ones looking like elves should get reversed language talents from the current setup though. just not the half-elves having an incomplete knowledge of both. maybe give those a choice?

[musashi]

I would rather they get a separate choice about their language preference, instead of tying it to what they look like.

I mean why should being born looking more like an elf than a human have any bearing whatsoever on what language you're more exposed to as a character?

What if you look more like an elf, but you were raised by your human mother because your Red Fang rapist of a father was nowhere to be seen?

I say make language preference an option just like the option for whether you want to look like a human, a breed, or an elf.

[Spice Spice Baby]

Just bringing up again that I would give Yam's firstborn child for linguists to be able to choose which languages they speak at chargen. Sometimes being able to speak Cavilish or Bendune just fits a character concept more, but they aren't actually a nomad or a merchant-guild.

Fortunately there's another subguild that offers bendune, but no such luck with Cavilish.

The saddle objects to function as a means to better ride, as well to be placeable on mounts.

Or people who are not exposed to one language, or people who are exposed to some of the language...

oh, right, like creoles--- literally, a language spoken by a people who had have exposure to two already established languages, creating a hodge-podge of both. pidgins are languages where only trade words have creeped in. is this what you mean?

agreeing with musashi, here. some of my halfies' background don't work as smoothly with what my halfies can speak.

Creoles are a full, 'proper' language, they just grow out of a pidgin language. Pidgin languages are more of an issue of expedience.

The situations I mentioned above:
1. Somebody who grows up without exposure to spoken language. I imagine support for deaf people in Zalanthas is minor. Somebody who grows up alone perhaps.
2. Somebody who is only exposed to partial language, possibly pidgin. It could be their language mentor was somebody who spoke poorly, or spoke little.

I would say a lot of this would come about from child abuse/neglect, a la Kaspar Hauser.

It doesn't make sense that all halfbreeds speak some allundean - perhaps this could be chosen at chargen? If the 'breed looks elven, perhaps it could start higher too.

[hyzhenhok]

I just want a way for half-elves to be able to pass as elven without having to take the linguist subguild. I don't really care how that's achieved.

[musashi]

Hey guys, lets not derail the thread with a discussion on languages. Take it here instead.

I'd like to see a few really large rocks (granite, obsidian, marble and such) that can only reasonably be picked up and carried by a half-giant or a robust dwarf placed about the world. Stone workers could hire people to go out and fetch one in.

That is a pretty damn awesome idea.

Yay. Another reason for everyone to cultivate a pet half-giant or pet companion dwarf.

Or, even better, Half-giants can forage 'gigantic fucking rocks'.

[Riev]

I'm for anything that is "randomly" spawned and can be cultivated only by a number of people, or half-giants/dwarves.

Even if its just the regular stones, so you can have a half-giant carry back a "ginormous, rough-edged block of sandstone", hell yeah.

I'd like to see a flag system for consent

>consent torture on
>consent rape off

>Check x's consent
x's consent is: torture is on, rape is off, enslavement is on, dryhumping is on etc etc

the less ooc communication the better. i vote win. my torture would totally be on; the more gruesome my death is the more fun to watch.
