The goal is not an unlikeable character. But certainly far from being a do-gooder hero. So say if the Starks refuse to bend the knee for whatever reason the solution is to fucking murder all them fucks.
*shrugs* I doubt if producing a heir, there'd be a reason to fight us at all. Pretty much every Stark has bent the knee, because they see no sense in dying. Robb, admittedly, did lead a host, but I wouldn't call him wholy wrong for it. And doing that wouldn't exactely be villianous, though instead of murdering all of them just do what the others did, and disposese them of their lands. It's an option, though killing them is a more semi-permenant solution. Healing crap doesn't get in the way of that. A battle medic in a war would gladly kill an enemy if it meant saving allied soldiers (just a comparison, not saying he should become an outiright battle medic).
Put his life in someone else's skills? What are you expecting Aenar to be doing that would lead him to being injured? If Aenar gets in a fight then we are doing something really really wrong.
It's not what I expect him to be doing, but what I expect his enemies to be doing. No doubt, once they've caught wind about what Aenar's upto, they'll try and give
him a serving of fire and blood. The optimal state is for them to be completely unaware, of course. But in this world, only Winter is certain. Literally.
It's a cheat code with potentially a few characters but beyond that there aren't many cases where it would be a cheat code or at least not worth bothering with. Being injured? The goal should be to surround Aenar with loyal men and not be in places where Aenar has to fight. Avoid injuries that way as much as possible. Escaping from a family? Why the hell would we be escaping from our family? We're going to kill and diplomacy our way into good standing with our family. The current heir? He is marked for death I say. Negotiate with other cousins to raise our standing.
Okay, so you're saying it's a smaller area in diplomacy, but packs a stronger punch. That doesn't sound
too bad, considering some of the real cheat codes I've seen in quests, and besides, that's just exploitation of a tool we're free to use at our disposal. Mazrick won't jsut
hand it to us, because either there'll be soem catch, or it'll be a tad bit omre complicated than we think. And yes, the goal is definitly to surround him with trustoworthy individuals, but you can never, ever be too careful, especially with how things are currently going. The ideal is for him to never be touched, to break the gates of Westeros, and to ride out to victory. But I doubt without struggle, pain, and loss, any of these goals will come truue, and it seems to me as if the ideal situation is less than acheivable. "The kinslayer is accursed." then what of the one who slays kin twice? For his dad, it was an act of mercy. I doubt that using a family member's death for political and diplomatic gain would hardly be considered 'mercy', and thoug hthey may not be deserving of it, why dirty yourself with that? We aren't sure about how our other cousins feel, so I do think it'd be prudent to try and find a way to contact them, but then again, assasination would only bring about rounds of suspicion, and the others probably know that he was less than fond of the dragon.
Glamour > healing for the playstyle. All the damn time.
All the time? Not for every playstyle, othwerwise there'd be no point in Mazrick putting it their. He obviosuly has plans for it, on how it wil be used, and I don't doubt that it'll make every fiber of it worth it. Glamour seems to have the edge with an array of uses, but the in-the-box thinking is what would limit Healing's capabilities. The kid is a fast learner, as they say, and magic catered to deciet is often more common place than medical magic, and considering how most of the people who use it stick to only what they know, I doubt they've even unlcoked half of it's true potential.
The update mentions the magics that we are capable of right now.
Ah, I had been thinking of enchanting. My bad.
