Threads Of Destiny(Eastern Fantasy, Sequel to Forge of Destiny)

Voted best in category in the Users' Choice awards.

Our athletics are relatively low, but in most cases where that would be a problem we can just shadow step. Also we are 3rd realm which means that our relatively low means better than most mortals could ever manage.

The only stats that are important to have high are the ones that we expect to come into competition with another cultivator. By that measurement things like academics and government is unlikely to be something that we need to train we are already mortal peck plenty of real world empires manage with just that.

Honestly I'm just annoyed that stealth is being pushed back yet again.

Have people completely forgotten that our first and primary moon partron is actually the grinning moon, patron of stealth and mischief/thievery?
When was the last time we did any stealth on screen? Last I recall was turn one (where we also searched the archives) for stealth arts, with any sort of stealth since being for EPC bonuses at best.

People are talking about not even contemplating any sort of stealth training until turn 8, another 5 months in story and 1/3 of the way through our entire time in the inner sect.* Ignoring our patron in such a way seems both out of character for Ling Qi and as having the potential to cause problems between us and our patron.

(*Also, judging by the pacing so far, sometime in 2020 irl)
 
Oh fine.

[X] Plan: Stealth is fine too
[X] Skill plan: Renxiang needs Help that won't get wrecked by spiritual attacks!

But under protest! I want to go exploring but I also concede we need more stealth.

I disagree.

Academics could be useful for decoding ancient languages written in three dimensions as knots in trees or scrimshawed bones instead of script, it could be used for breaking ciphers made by cultivators of similar specialty(hello spymaster) or making your own ciphers, it could be used for decoding hieroglyphs in real time as you try to avoid being smashed by a guardian golem so you can figure out it's deactivation sequence.

Government could be used for making a system in which corruption is more difficult to get away with in which most people trying will be cultivators, hiding your own corruption from cultivator auditors, just running your fief more effeciently than humanly possible(better resource extraction directly correlates to higher cultivation budget), and most importantly for me: Cai Renxiang's respect.

Take the example of the wood site. It gives an additional 1/10 to cultivation... for wood arts that have a physical keyword. That is, only TRF and not SES or IMH.

The difference between Wood grove and Water site is not another .15 per AP, it's another .1 per AP used for very specific arts. So, a good site would tend to be 5% better than a mediocre one.

Yes, of course a spiritual focused person won't have a lot of physical arts. That doesn't means that the site if used as it should be isn't a .25 AP.

Moreover we get a lot more mults for art cultivation which means that .1 of an AP succ of art is bigger than .1 of an AP for base cultivation.

Ehr where is the 5% coming from ??? Even considering you only value physical as .1, it's still a total of .2 AP per AP so twice as good as a regular site.
 
Purely voting for Presence plan now, will vote for Fade again if ENM gets close ever.

We /are/ training a stealth art this month and the next. Its name is SCS.

I assume you meant stealth art by stealth training because stealth is currently capped.

Moreover, your plan is actively voting against the grinning moon linked art as we will only get one fade stealth art, so your call to her fall flat.

Darting Labyrinth Shadow
In days far past there was once a bamboo grove sacred to the Grinning Moon, filled with laughing shadows that danced and darted under the pale moonlight. In that labyrinthine grove, an incautious person could be lost for years, grasping for a light that they would never reach. Though the grove is long gone, this art preserves the lessons once taught to those who aspire to the favor of the Grinning Moon
