Go Berserk is a special ability. Riposte is a special skill. You can make custom special abilities that call scenario scripts, but not custom special skills.

Fair enough. Are these graphics available to the public? If not, you might consider releasing them so that BoA designers could use them.

SkeleTony, that was the biggest cop-out I have ever seen. You can't handle the general case. Why don't you just admit that the concept of god is not inherently self-contradictory?

Yes, I would like to hear why the concept of a "god" is self-contradictory. If you claim that the concept is self-contradictory, the onus is on you to prove it — rather than saying that one does or does not exist, in which case we could debate on whom the onus rests. I would like to see such a proof.

To be clear: I am talking about the general case of any sort of god, as defined by common usage of the word "god."

Secondly, we most certainly CAN say that some things do NOT exist adn are quite impossible. It was this realization that drove me from weak atheism(re: lacking a god-belief) to strong atheism(re: Supernatural Gods cannot exist). I can say this because of a little thing called the law of non-contradiction. "God" cannot exist for the same reason that round squares cannot exist. SOmething cannot be both 'A' and 'Not A' at once.
In context, this seemed to suggest that objectively gods do not and cannot exist. Are you now are only saying that according to your set of assumptions, gods do not and cannot exist?

In other words, to make the distinction that Thuryl does below, are you merely saying "I'm certain," rather than "I'm right"?

If so, I do not disagree. However, I do think it is important to note that your set of assumptions are not the only ones that could reasonably be made.

Look at the BoA Appendices under the heading, "Splitting Up the Party Calls." The call split_off_one_char will split off one character, although I'm not sure how well it works for the length of an entire scenario.

I'm guessing at least three people are screwing with the poll, because based on the number of votes for Homeland, Ocean Bound, and Galactic Core as favorites, and I can think of no other explanation.

EDIT: Solodric doesn't want me to post poll results. I think this is silly, but whatever.

At any rate, it is interesting to look at the number of people who want a Geneforge sequel after GF3 and Ar (which we almost certainly will see) vs. the number of people who want something entirely different.

Be careful how ambitious you get. This sounds enormous.

The rule of thumb that we like to cite around here is that the more a designer talks about a scenario, the less likely s/he is to make the scenario.

My source, the Oxford English Dictionary, likewise has appropriate definitions for all of those but "channeller," which evidently has not yet been used often enough in the context of magic to convince the makers of the OED that it carries that definition.

Note that most of the good original fantasy writers were classicists, one way or another. Tolkien, before the Hobbit and LotR, was an expert on old Norse and Germanic mythology, including Beowulf and the like. Do not discount the influence of genuine classics in the development of fantasy.

The suffix -trix is a Latin suffix. It is always feminine. The arch- prefix is the part that makes it mean "greatest."

The suffix -trix is much like the English suffix -tress, which is similarly always feminine.

I think the idea of the word "incantrix," which is not actually proper English, is to start with the word "enchanter," archaize to the original form "incantator" (which is the person who does the action of the verb "incantare," which is "to consecrate with charms"), and then feminize to incantrix.

AGAIN, these foundational principles/neccesary assumptions ARE NOT SUBJECT TO "PROOF".
So you're saying that you take them on faith? If your assumptions are not subject to proof (or verification on the basis of evidence), what makes them any better than anyone else's?

quote:
The axioms of logic(not talking about math-specific stuff here, just reasoned thinking) are NEITHER human "inventions", nor material objects. They are more akin to discoveries about how the universe behaves.
You're pretty close to contradicting yourself here. Are your assumptions subject to verification through evidence in the universe or not?

quote:
I do not use materialism, idealism, logic orcritical thinking to prove or disprove materialism or idealism.
Proof by contradiction is a relatively accepted technique. You take a certain set of assumptions and use those assumptions to show their inherent inconsistency. Why dismiss it here?

Many of them haven't, no.

And A3 is a bit different, anyway. There's no "If you kill this person in a dungeon, you won't be able to continue" in parallel to the Chief Spider. There's no "Find the bizarrely hidden place through several different towns in order to progress" like the Control Chamber.

I don't really care why they're having trouble; I just know that we get more questions about three or four parts of VoDT on these boards than we get about anything else, so I might as well post permanent answers to them instead of replying every single time.
