My proposal was 1 per day, not event. So, you get your wish!

At some level, we come down to a disagreement philosophically about what should be involved in unlearning a skill. I think, in general, it should be easier for a scholar to unlearn a prof than it is for a fighter - narratively, the class in some manner implies a natural lean towards a given...

What Ben said, which is much the same way you would "unlearn prof" - you're only shedding the single spell or tier, not the entirety of the skill. So, the thought I was having about that it that means that it's harder to unlearn a skill than it is to learn it. Specifically, sure, a fighter can...

I'm pretty sure that shouldn't be a thing. I've NPCed and put build towards an alt but assigned my teacher card to my primary before, but that's a horse of a different color.

Irony. :) <3 Total off the cuff: what if the process for unlearning were similar to the process for learning? Like, add in a skill that let's you "unteach" skills, give Biata and Stone Elves a price reduction on it, and you have to turn in tags at the end of an event, capped at some number...

I'm not sure about the numbers, but the concept sounds reasonable.

In terms of what the rules and bylaws allow, afaik, yes.

Sure, but at the same point in which you're limiting so severely the rituals in the game, you're welcome to open up LCO rituals: "Harness", which does what Norman outline, and I'm pretty sure you're welcome to simply have all DAs > +0 autoflaw (no result) or even backlash.

If there's not really an overriding theme to the elimination other than "Ben has a reason to not like it", I definitely can't argue for or against any particular inclusion or exclusion. :) I guess the only other question is whether or not your intention to disallow the rituals means also...

Sure, but if you want Resist magic, play that race, just like if you want to cast life, play a caster. (I'm assuming that's the intent of the proposal) If we're approaching it from a raw "does this ability exactly duplicate other build" concept, we would want to keep Bane Gift, since that has...

Not everyone can buy Celestial spells either, though.

In principle, external to this discussion, I agree. "Use your build differently" has a lot of merit, imo. But for the sake of this discussion, it doesn't seem to fit the theme of the OP: if you want to do X, buy the X skill.

No, it's been previously assessed that Necromancy aspect is not the same as Necromancy group.

So, if the goal is to ditch skills that duplicate other standard skills and things, why not ditch Spell Parry (resist magic), Arcane Armor (wear some, you hippie!), Spirit Lock (get a Paste), Render (Strengthen Yo Stuff!), Enhance Wand (get another wand!), and Item Recall (go find it!)?

I dunno. I think that if you want to incite change, directing your feedback to those in power to change it through their assigned channels is the optimal path. But when we're discussing some nuance of rules theory/chapter policy/storyline, and someone says "In my chapter, we do X", I think...

My greatest thanks to all bidders. Your generosity will greatly ensure that the people of the Vale of Roses have much to support them in their continued growth and prosperity in holding off the barbarians from raiding the inner kingdoms, and continue to serve as a shining example of what can be...

Bidding is now closed. My thanks to everyone that has participated. I shall be tallying totals and updating the final auction prices for all to see later tonight. Winners will also be contacted then to arrange transfer of funds for items. Thank you again! @~}~~ Sir Gregor

Ego says I should respond with "It is dragons that ought fear being eaten by me", but humility is one of the knightly virtues I am struggling to master, so I shall say simply that I hope you are right and I am not so consumed. Less than thirty minutes remain. Should the total bidding exceed...

Less than 3 and half hours remain in this auction! Some bids were placed last night, so make to review your missives and the list above if you are in one of the auctions in heavy contention! @~}~~ Sir Gregor

I generally think attitudes of "the only way we could win was to use necromancy, so plot clearly took the pot" need to be heavily discouraged. Maybe dying and sticking to your character's principles is a meaningful arc to your character's story. Maybe your character isn't meant to win. Maybe...
