Revamping the Way

Would rather contact just be auto-successful against non-barriered targets, and barriers be more effective overall.
<Morgenes> Dunno if it's ever been advertised, but we use Runequest as a lot of our inspiration, and that will be continued in Arm 2
<H&H> I can't take that seriously.
<Morgenes> sorry HnH, can't take what seriously?
<H&H>Oh, I read Runescape. Nevermin

I think you should be able to psi-listen to let you overhear Way conversations that are being heard near you in the same room. I don't like how the Way is 100% discreet to everyone but participants and mindbenders.


Not 100%. It's an OOC accident, but I like the way psi's and thinks sometimes leak. I look on it as a penalty of psionic powers, and always treat it as an IC fact.

No longer have to see the echo of when someone enters or leaves your mind. You can opt out of watching your characters constant suffering. I want to see a brief command added to the Way.

Client-side gag command?

This is more than a great idea. I never would of thought of looking into that. Thanks.

You might want to be careful with that at lower skill levels.  It's a good way to take an unplanned nap.

You know I think if James simply retitled his thread "Cheese" and apologized for his first post being off-topic, all problems would be solved.

It never concerned me, going unconscious from use of the Way alone. I am careful about tending to my characters on that. Although, I do enjoy the challenge of forcing out low stats during character creation. The one right now though is running on zero stun and is dumb as a door knob. So I've got barrier up constantly the past months on him, and the bloke ain't learned nothin' yet. I cannot fathom going through this again and again, and again, with my future characters. No, no no no!

EDIT: And therefore, I did what DustMight recommended with the client-side gag command.
