Revisions / Questions / Power Adjustments

Hi Chicklet – got a quite a few things to go over so let’s take this piece by piece. When you reply, please separate the sections as I did here so we can keep things easy for me to read.

As you say on your opt-in, his powers are “broad and ill defined” which does not play well with Arda Marred. We have to do some revising to clear up what he can do.


Re: Flight - He can fly a max of 10-12 "days-by-foot" per day unburdened, and under ideal conditions. How you split that up into resting or gliding or whatnot is up to you. With a passenger or carrying a something heavy, keep it down to 5-7.


Re: Collecting Souls – the equiv of a soul in Tolkien works can be considered the Fëa. Souls/ Fëar are kind of protected by Eru as part of the game premise. Because of this, he’ll be unable to collect souls, but should he attempt it there will be a severe backlash from the music.


Re: Altering individual time – we’re going to have to nix this, unfortunately. It interferes with the music too much, and conflicts with our AU guidelines regarding aged up/down characters.


Re: Magic – this covers a broad area, but I think you mean conjuring objects. If so, we’d like to put a limit on this. He’ll only be able to conjure inanimate objects, and no larger than something that a normal human can carry.


Re: Hacking the base code of the universe – in the event that Velsper gets his hand on any electronic device that would allow him to attempt this, he will not be able to change the universe/Arda. There would also be severe backlash from the music.


Re: familiar – we’re going to need to hear a lot more about that as we may have to consider them an animal companion.
- What do you mean by “lives inside him?”
- Does this familiar take form outside his body? What does it look like?
- Does the familiar have sentience or a grasp of language / commands?


Re: Curses – it’s unclear what a curse is in this universe. How do you intend to use this in AM?


Re: “Anything Else” – if you come upon a possible opportunity (an IC reason/event) to change his form / switch between forms, please check with us so we can both help you and keep things reasonable.
