We will file suggestions here that did not make the cut. Don't expect detailed responses, but the most common reasons are:

  • implementing the suggestion is impractical, or too much work for the gain
  • the suggestion is thematically against our design philosophy
  • the suggestion is too detailed/low-level
    Keep your suggestions broad and focused on RP benefits, please, not detailed suggestions of how to fix everything.

Vampires and Full Submersion in water:

Post by dominantdrowess »

Obviously, if a vampire puts their hand in a window sill in direct daylight, it still burns its hand.

But?

Vampires can cross small streams without harm.
Vampires cannot fully submerse in water.

But? Etherealness - the protection against Implosion - could prevent a vampire from being fully submersed in water - and allow them, through knowledge of the magic system to unlock some of the content on the server. Just a weird "physics" interaction I thought about.

I'm not really in favour of (effectivly) removing weaknesses from an already potentialy quite powerful class. If the balence team want to yell at me on this one, i'm open to having my mind changed, but I think for now this is going to be a 'No.'
Besides, I picture the water thing as very much a supernatural/magical issue, which physics doesn't have much to do with.
It's an interesting theoretical idea though, I'll give you that!
This too shall pass.

(I now have a DM Discord (I hope) It's DM GrumpyCat#7185 but please keep in mind I'm very busy IRL so I can't promise how quick I'll get back to you.)
