I'm flexible on Melody Song options if people have other suggestions. And if we can't sing 2 symphonies I'll replace the second symphony action with either more songs or more melodies.
I actually think they're pretty good -- no real objections. The Hush one is pretty good since I assume it was chosen to counter the Slaaneshi?
--[] Unharmed By Power Iridescently Whispering - Grounding, Protection, Grounding, Creativity, Silence
I'm a bit curious on this one -- did you choose for it to be a more active Shield / Defense song, or against Chaos Corruption, or something else? I think we're pretty set on that with Soul's Shield and Diverting Power, but more safety measures aren't a bad idea.
--[] Burn Bright Against Reality - Fire, Hope, Struggle, Grounding, Protection
--[] Cloud Their Ways Seen - Paths, The Void, Perception, Prophecy, Song
No real objections again, but what're your goals for these as well? Just trying to figure them out. I figure you're trying to disrupt the routes of our foes for the second, and I suppose buff our guys up with the first, but is this just a general aim or a specific focus that you feel needs to be addressed?
As for suggestions...
See what defies us - Perception, Silence, Protection, Struggle
This feels pretty important as it seems we're getting shadowrunned again and more information-gathering songs is always a good idea IMO
Hide And Divulge Their Sight - Silence, Protection, Grounding, Perception
Hide And Divulge Their Sight From Our Home - Silence, Protection, Grounding, Perception, Home
Blind Our Foes - Void Perception Struggle
Same for these, but I figure the third is probably just what we want. Just Fuck Them Up lol
You Shall Find No Reprieve From The Just Blade - Humanity Ruthlessness Perception Perception Justice
And this one is for active hunting of sabotage among others -- Foretold Luminous Paths disrupts prophecy stuff, but this one actively helps us hunt things down, I think
And as always, some sort of healing song is something I'll suggest, but it's in lessened priority since we got Irritaboosted I think. But some candidates are...
Hands That Heal - Mercy,Compassion,Health
(generic healing)
Recovery From The Edge - Protection Health Death
(getting people back from hardcore crisis cases)
Luminous Aid - Health, Compassion, Mercy, Wisdom, The Star
(this one is just a gut feel, but i think it's worth pursuing)
Also, as noted, Groundingx5 because might as well figure out what a 5x melody song is but also might just be the key to fuck rituals up (if QM wasn't joking), and
Laser Beam Of Magic - Sun, Fire, Death, Void to give us more tactical options than Promethean Gaze I suppose (but also it sounds cool)
We absolutely need to take some massive actions to integrate genetic and biological transhumanism, as well as the cybernetic transhumanism that is passed down via hereditary means (ie, the babies and children grow cybernetics as they grow up that they inherit from their parents) into our culture. How else will we have a bunch of happy productive strains of super-citizens? Forget super-soldiers, super-spies, and super-leaders, we need to have a bunch of different and fun and lifestyle-improving options for super-citizens! Also the idea that there would be anything resembling 'baseline' humans after tens of thousands of years of living on vastly different planets under vastly different evolutionary pressures and dramatic and regular active artificial manipulation of the genome from all corners is a bad ad stupid joke. Also, eugenics is horrific, we need to obsolete that shit right the fuck now and give our people a better way!
I'm not a big fan about hereditary cybernetic transhumanism -- I think that should be more of a choice for those who get them, IMO.
As for the eugenics stuff, it sucks a load but that's 40k. I think we're in a good spot to handle it though, because iirc we can treat or handle mutations better with higher Medical Infrastructure, and we have significant discounts available for developing that infrastructure.
We'll have to see where we can squeeze it in before the quest ends, but I think it's fairly possible if we can at least finish off the Khornates. We'll see though.
As for the baseline human stuff, things don't operate on pure biology in this canon, see here:
Sterbelicht - One Sacrifice At A Time Against The Galaxy (40K) Mature - Sci-Fi
(Also if things are any inclination about the Psychic Awakening, super-citizenry will happen probably through uh, mass psyker proliferation in the population, but that's gonna be way-post epilogue I figure).
And I see Neablis has posted their plan, so uh, there goes half my post lol
[X] Plan: Once more, our Capstone is Good
