Rather than divine casters being wizards, I think they'd take it as wizards being divine casters. After all, the divine casters have been around for longer, with a more established presence. And given the reputation of magic in general, we'd end up with the following claims:
Wizards claim priests are using the same sort of casting as they are, just in a convoluted way. (Everything is Arcane)
Priests claim that wizards are using an entirely different sort of casting from what they are using. (Arcane and Divine are qualitatively different)
The Witch Hunters claim that witches are like priests, but for evil gods. (Everything is Divine, some gods are good, some are bad)
That might not even be wrong. The Eight Winds might well be gods, like the Kurgan believe them to be. Just gods which are simultaneously very present and powerful, but also very impersonal and uncaring. And the Orders of the Colleges of Teclis blend Elf style worship and Human style worship to get to them. They align their thought patterns and use mantra like rituals to access their power instead of asking for it, but they go full hog and all in instead of keeping a balance.
Booh. They should have written it as Schlüsselschlossschlucht. Not sure what's supposed to be difficult to pronounce here though.
I hope that does not appear in quest.
Because it's ... umm... rubbish.
It's rubbish as is. But it's also workable, if you tone it down and tweak it and declare the "normal" strictures to actually be various separate sects if extreme fanatics or hard to reach ideals not followed by even most of the clergy.
So hi, just hopped on the Quest recently. I know next to nothing about WHF other than it's not quite as bad as WH40K, but I was lured by the appeal of ridiculously funny rolls.
Anyway, I had a question about Kasmir; after Drakenhof, he disappeared:
Then, when it was being determined who was staying on the Council, he rolled really well and apparently came back after spending most of a year emotionally recovering:
But every time he comes up after that, it's as if he never returned in the first place:
I apologize if this came up before, but to be frank I couldn't find a threadmark on this and there's almost 300,000 posts.
It might be a small leftover mistake. A while back I found one where Kasmir wished Mathilde farewell before she had found him again. This story has many moving parts and yet mistakes like an inconsistency in Kasmir's whereabouts are exceedingly rare and fixed if found..
Edit: Also, welcome!
I noticed that you were going through the thread and giving reactions.
Then again, there are theories that Khaine and Khorne are the same person and the Elves deny that as well. The truth of the matter is left vague up until the End Times, where I believe it was revealed that the Elven Pantheon were aliens. Some dudes from outerspace that the Elves worshipped.
So... Are there Elven deities of planning and self-actualization (or whatever aspect noble Elves in both Ulthuan and Naggaroth ascribe to drive their politicking and backstabbing)? And/or Elven deities of the circle of life and decay or a disease related Ellinilli or something?
and get rid of crap like forbidden to know love or experience jealousy.
The "forbidden to know love" part is definitely bullshit. Especially since they are supposed to occasionally let "problem cases" fall in love with them to help them. If there's zero reciprocity like that then all they actually do is lie and manipulate. And one also can't forbid people from occasionally experiencing an emotion. But I could see at least the clergy to be taught not to form exclusive life partnerships and to struggle against letting jealousy drive their actions. If their ministering involves sex and intimacy and even romantic love with various people then, similar to many poly people, they have to see jealousy as an internal problem to work around and ideally overcome. And while poly people can also deal with it gradually or leave it space through rules and limits in their main relationship(s), I could see the clergy of Katya not giving themselves these options and just treating jealousy as a bad influence and acting on it as a major sin. No less healthy than what Shallyans do to themselves.
Look, when Alaric the I Just Get These Headaches says that he used Daemon blood in his amazing new creations, you just smile and nod, hoping all the while that he's spinning a line of utter bullshit to keep his secrets, because the alternative is that he's telling the truth.
Uhm, might Alaric the Mad not merely have discovered AV before Mathilde did and then either not managed or not wanted to share his discovery in any comprehensive way that kept the knowledge alive as anything more that "Daemon blood"?
I know that social turns generally shouldn't have mechanical results, but would clearing this up be a full action? Would just waiting long enough get the message across?
I think the best way is to finally write the paper with Egrimm and chatter enough about this issue that Boney takes it under advisement and has Mathilde ask Egrimm why he never went ahead with it on his own, seeing how he put most of the work in. That is less than a full AP in expenditure and more than a Social. And Egrimm might be willing to trust Mathilde's reasonableness afterwards.
If you are that good, why not just do it yourself, without the risk of getting stabbed for carrying around mummy gold.
Because some problems need an inexhaustible army while you are just a master thief with a massive speed buff.
