All cultivators are basically Sith; craving power, enhancing themselves via alchemy, being all about acting and doing, and all the revenge plots. They're just different kinds of Sith. Sun Liling is Bane, the rebel barbarian plotting against the established order as well as enjoying in-your-face butchery. Bai Meizhen is totally a young Kreia, complete with hard lessons and getting attached to her student. Cai Renxiang is wannabe-Revan, uniting the Outer Sect for their own good. Ling Qi is obviously a proto-Vader; a country bumpkin with great potential, attachment issues, and no idea what she's doing.

Also, per the reaction to Gu Tai, she dislikes sand.

No Flying Swords yet, we'll probably have to get Bronze to unlock them.

Actually, I'm sorta thinking that we'll be getting Flying Swords after this vote.

Yrsillar mentioned that Flying Swords are "Training Wheels" for something in Green that we get more of as we go up in Cultivation.

My guess is that Flying Swords are paired with our Domain Attribute that we've still got to settle on. Rather than rolling Strength or Dex or whatever, we roll Domain and learn to control and apply that shiny new Attribute through use of a Flying Sword.

...I feel bad that my first thought upon seeing all these bonii was "Damn it, we missed out on the Metal/Classic 5 bonus!"

My plan for this week was to get the missing metal attribute by getting an art for it.

I am made of salt. :V

I'm pretty sure this choice is also going to lead to, or give us the ability to walk a certain path in later cultivation, and when we reach/become a spirit (assuming this happens) what would we want?

Ling Qi really doesn't want to leave her friends behind, but from what we understand Spirits are lonely existences. What if we instead became a Spirit OF companionship? Some of the others will probably have better immediate bonuses, but the only other choice I imagine an immortal Spirit Ling Qi would be ahppy with is the Free Air one, and then not as much as actually being able to keep her friends.

Sold. The concept of a friendship based spirit is more interesting to me than the other options.

Makes sense.

Given intent and whatnot

Sadly, we can use 3 yellow, or 2 Yellow, 1 green. We'll be able to use 4 YSS or 2 YSS, 1GSS when we breakthrough bronze.

Basically, our cultivation dice just got slapped around.

You can sub in lesser for greater. We have one rank in green and three in yellow. We can therefore use 4 yellow (35 stones) or 1 green, 3 yellow (25 + gss stones). Either one is more than the 30 we were rocking before.

The big loss here is in pills. I suggest we finally spend a minor looking for good drugs.

Fifty yellow stones for a minute? I don't know if that's worth it. That's a whole green spirit stone. Still, worth looking into, especially if we swear to Cai and spirit stones become less scarce.

So, some comments about this "Black Loom Gargantuan." It is totally going to be worth 1 green stone for a minute of combat. If we break down a minute of combat into turns of 6 seconds each (typical D&D round) then we have 10 turns of this thing in play.

Why do I think this thing will be worth it? Well, I did some measurements of the ground to my ankle, and that is about 5 inches (12.7cm). The average adult male is 177cm in America. If I'm right this means that the scale between a human and this thing would be 12.7:177.

This makes it so that the "Black Loom Gargantuan" is about 13.9x bigger than an adult male (roughly). (I'm really hoping my math for this is right. Corrections are welcomed!)

Since the adult male is 177cm tall, and the "Black Loom Gargantuan" is 13.9x bigger than it, that would make the "Black Loom Gargantuan" 2,466cm (roughly) tall.

This makes it 24.66 meters tall (or 81.4 feet).

And we are meant to ride inside of it. My rough google search indicates that this might be 7.5 stories tall.

Interesting idea! Especially if Domain is the Attribute for flying sword attacks, and there is ALSO a new skill for them. It would emphasize that learning to use a flying sword is something you very much have to learn once you hit Third Realm.

I gotta save some bonuses for physical guys. :p

And yeah that was a typo in the interlude, which takes place following this.

Haha, fair enough. And good to know it was a typo. By the way, thanks for editing the update and updating the front page and pill pages so quickly. I have no idea how you put out content so fast, especially with the re-balancing.

So now we know the Ji Rong interlude is directly after Sun's surrender. Which means that all of the people who thought that Cai accepted terms and set Ji Rong free without any input from her council were wrong. I mean, it's not like there was a vote on it or anything, Cai kinda remains a dictator. But she DID receive input and thus give everyone face about the decision, even if some were unhappy. I continue to think she's a pretty good boss.
 
So I'm really hoping BLG can be combat ready in the tournament, I would love to use it in a match vs. Gan Guangli.

It's the lesser of our cultivation level for the numbers of stones (so late silver) and the highest stage for quality of stone (so green). So, we can take up to 3 stones, with the possibility of 1GSS.

I find windy business like the southern barbarians more interesting than the moon skullduggery or music.

I think this is the best contender to a non-commital Ling Qi... I'll change if it isn't.
 
Do we REALLY want to be the person who rides a bone-abomination into combat during the highly watched sect tournoument? It isn't breaking the law or anything since we are using spirit beast bones, but the optics here aren't great...
