Like, has any normally-OP character been as high as 2300? Most characters who were really OP were in an era where we didn't really do scoring. I don't think we've done anyone over 1000 since scoring started. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AonEne Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 Myriad counted, I think? Might not’ve been 1000+ but she was getting up there with what scores were at the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I’m not quite qualified to judge it. Welcome to the Alleyverse! I’d advise you against eating any offered cookies but it looks like you’ve already encountered some spikes... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theoretically yes, I can’t say how many exactly - it’d depend on the context of the character. 1 hour ago, Somebody from Sel said: How exactly do you get a character approved? By submitting a character who’s at or under the point limit and having a mod give you the thumbs up.

(first character) Most of the weakness points stuff is just decided by the mods when they judge; we have a few policies, but it really depends on the context of each character. If someone else has the Oathstone, then that'd take a fair bit away, since they'd be essentially controlled by another character. You'd have to work some stuff out with that person. If the character controlling them is your own, then that's not gonna take many points away. If you plan to have them break out of being Truthless eventually like Szeth did, then that weakness would stop counting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mallory Posted October 14, 2020 Report Share Posted October 14, 2020 Hey! I just had a quick question, hopefully this is the right place for it. So I've only read The Stormlight Archive and not the other Cosmere books, I'm hoping to start them soon but it might take me a while... Would it be best to make a character and join the RP after I read all the books (I'd be totally fine to wait), or would I be fine to start now without an understanding of the entire Cosmere? I've been reading the new players guide and from what I understand, there are separate guilds that you join, is that correct? Thank you so much! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The above advice is correct, you might get spoiled on some magic systems or worldbuilding but otherwise you’ll probably be fine. Either way works. As a side note, the guilds are optional - you can join them if you want (and I’d personally recommend it, I think they’re fun), but you don’t need to if you don’t want to or if you don’t think your character would join any. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallory Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 Gotcha, thanks to both of you. I've been looking and the guilds seem like a blast, I'll brainstorm some ideas and hopefully create a character soon. Thanks for the advice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no more mod than @Ookla Fell From The Sky but I'd assume it depends on whether you get a time when you cannot do anything or if not. Otherwise the Index gives that an epic with only immortality and no weakness cost 45 points but gold ferring is 50 points so I guess... @Voidus? 6 hours ago, Random Bystander said: 3. There is a reason I didn't put her oaths in there.... and that is because of spoilers. I guess you could PM the mod that will take care of rating your character with her oaths and still get the points. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psychology. She can normally tell what people feel by their behavior, body language, words, the tone of their voice, etc. She can also regulate those to make people see what she wants them to see. That is part of what makes her good at manipulating people. So, she probably needs a reason to be scares of people with beards, so her mother was shot by a person with a beard. It makes sense for her to associate the two, I mean she was 7. She can go out into a crowd, and normally has her fear under control. However, if she is under a lot of stress, it comes out fully. She also has a very hard time trusting anyone with a beard, and it is harder to think if she is having a conversation with someone who has a beard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So here's the idea, he was spiked to have feruchemical copper, so he unconsciously stores his memory every night, making him essentially has constant amnesia. He would also be a zinc compounder because without zinc he would be constantly wondering where he was and what was going on, so he taps zinc in the morning to think faster. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
