There are going to be some pretty hefty decisions to be made at the end of 2.3
I am going to put up some of the relevant info for people that want to discuss and form plans ahead of time. There may be a few more posts over the next week or so, 2.3 is going to be a mothertrucker of a Chapter and it may be exhausting if you have to think through it all in one go.
First Post is on what direction you want to take [Towering Edifice to Heaven].
Boldly forward I go: You are changed in ways you still barely understand. For all that you know of this [Towering Edifice to Heaven] inside you, it only raises more questions. There is so much to learn, but you must focus on something. The future is uncertain, but you will not stop moving forward. (Lilly can progress in other fields, but this will influence her first preference.)
Recursive Projection:
Deepening my Domain and its impact on reality. Making myself a central fixture around which others orbit.
Dissolution: Lvl 1
The facet of Dissolution was null-space. The removal of all that preexists leaving only a bare foundation to build upon. I could learn how to pierce, degrade, remove, fracture, disorientate and jam reality around me. The Material world would simply melt into vapour when I desired so. In time, anything that ran against my goals could simply be willed into nonexistence.
Imposition: Lvl 1
The facet of Imposition was the capacity to make any pattern or structure viable. No matter how unstable or unwieldy, I could learn to make it permanent in time. Powers that were meant to be temporary could be slowly and inviolably imbued into the fabric of creation. More than that, I could take inspiration from the material world around me to construct a vast edifice of my own. Hidden within the Dreamspace and other places or wrought forth into reality.
Relations: Lvl 1
I have so much I don't want to lose. The facet of Relations was the ultimate safety net, the path to being able to bind literally anything to myself or each other. I could force powers that were unable to synergise with each other to function anyway. I could tie the lifeforce of others into myself so that none could pass from this life so long as I still drew breath. My little Dreamspace would unfold into a vast tapestry of souls.
Gravitas Weaving:
Expending parts of the Gravitas I have gathered out into the wider world in more prolific forms.
Artefacts: Lvl 2
The {Primordial Chassis} was only the beginning. Not only could I learn to grow it in entirely novel directions, but within the facet of Artefacts lay the path of extending several of my other powers into hyper-powerful forms of which I would have almost complete control of the final expression. Given time I could prepare specific artefacts to solve just about any problem.
Constructs: Lvl 1
I would take material, and make it better in every conceivable way. Magical items would never run out of power, runes would not lose their charge, potions effects would magnify instead of dwindle. More than this, the facet of Constructs could be split off from myself and become stable in its own right. I could divvy it out to those I trusted alongside weapons and armours beyond mortal kin. Even if I died, my gifts would remain.
Entities: Lvl 1
To make
life. Even considering the responsibility was a heavy burden, yet here it was within my grasp. Through the facet of Entities, I could bud aspects of my own mind and goals off into copies and raise these facsimiles into almost any shape and purpose. They would not be mindless though, these things would likely not be as intelligent as humans, but I would be kidding myself to claim they were anything less than alive. I don't think this was mother's meaning when she said I should make new friends.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I updated the thread description a little, mostly just with the direction we went by avoiding things like [Deviant Wanderer], [Nihilist Roots] or [Form Fracture].
So what do you call servos?
Servos.
It just struck me that not calling yourself wizards is something of a missed opportunity.
Given how quickly you can get there from Kansas, I don't think Oz is anywhere nearby.
If we want to go to a mystical fantasy land of unexplored wonder, we can just take a plane to New Zealand.
(There's a reason they filled part of the Lord of the Rings there)
So basically Lilly is the OP homebrew character who every DM hates and has her own special mechanics for everything.
"Of course I can do a stealth attack with a fireball, my Ninja-Fire-Mage-Dwarf-Angel follows this supplementary addition's rules to the letter."
It will become more clear when you have a number of Ethea up in the Lvl 10 and 5 numbers, but Ethea affect Ethea. You don't have any direct Meta-powers yet, but your very nature
is Meta.
Weren't there at least two votes on exactly this? Pretty sure defensive won both times.
Indeed. Her approach is settled unless Lilly experiences a failure she directly attributes to that style, in which case the question would come up again.
