The discord would be enough, but this is something I haven't been able to talk in DMs about, and I guess we can't see eachother's posts, so I'll ask here.
I had a girl I kept trying to make 'Bardic' techs for, but it never worked because she was a 'Sound' user to transmit and it turned out to not work. Is there -any- way to do it properly? Bardic Blitz got approval, but when I tried things like Bardic Bulwark to bolster defenses, and things of that nature I was told that 'that can't work the way you're doing it'. Would it have to be Mental? I was told 'no' to using social abilities like Leadership, charisma, Instruments, etc... and I don't know how to make it happen on a grand scale for all abilities as a 'Free Range Support'.
Edit: Apparently we can see eachother's posts, it's just that nobody was posting.

wixvhenBardic elements don't translate well to AoG's interpretation of Sound. A lot of the ideas that you're putting out are covered in a single clan or in an Aura, something Grey characters can achieve once they are eligible. It's one of the fantasy mechanics that don't translate into AoG's design. The BEST idea for this kind of influence would be how Bhikkhu use incenses to bolster allies. but they can't control who benefits in their zones. I'd look at them when you're attempting to make something similar in the future.

I feel like people might be afraid to ask questions here, because of the public nature of the thread. Perhaps there should be a new thread alongside this one, for private questions answered in a manner parallel to that of applications. Things that you cannot reveal to the public. It would help save rulings for more obscure roles and abilities as well.
Onto my question,
Can Social effects such as Beauty Tier 5 be ignored? They are quite unhealthy, in my opinion. I think Beauty Tier 5 might be the only one with such a weird effect.

What influences the amount of stat points you get on a stance? Does it increase or decrease based on how many clauses the stance has or the strength of the clauses?

im no custom-min but usually its situational. Drawbacks, clauses, reasoning, related-perks, etc can all be factored in

I think Scouting and Sensory might be the two least defined professions in the list. I have the excerpts from when Zeno said Sensors can develop techniques to manipulate their senses. But can we get an idea of the range of custom possibilities for both? For instance, can Sensor Professions make Eye Technique Buffs?

I think Beauty Tier 5 might be the only one with such a weird effect. I think Social Perks exist for a reason. Familiar Tamer’s perk allows you to ignore summons. Leadership literally impacts how ecs and npcs respond to you. Social Rank is your income. Languages literally control what is accessible in the rp. The ambivalence to adjusting combat situations through RP, I think, is insane seeing as if this was a mental check you’d STILL be fucked worse. Ignoring it is just wild overall because to ignore a social perk is just to say the work someone put. So, no. You can’t really just ignore a whole mechanic lol.

Its equivalent to Aphrodites demigod perk. The fact you can just flash a perk and based on a roll nullify a combat situations lethality even if you brought it on is dumb.

I don't think this thread should get clogged up, but I believe some people misunderstand the nature of my question, because it isn't unfounded nor random. It has been ruled before, from what I remember, that it can be ignored in real, lethal situations. It has also been ruled that it cannot be ignored. If I wish to kill you, your beauty should not affect me. Even Aphrodite Demigods require her Divinity in order to achieve what they do. By that logic, a Lightbearer with Tier 5 Beauty could have easily avoided my Lord of Wrath, and she'd have - by extension - died via some dubious mechanic that would have stopped her from doing her job. It is a mechanic that is on near-equal grounds with Bellona & Aphrodite, if not greater if you're capable of getting the roll, considering both of those - I am saying this as the one who wrote the former - can be ignored by nearly everyone if they're intelligent enough. Leadership Levels, Languages, and Social Ranks, are entirely different things compared to a random perk accessible by the local Angrbodan for no cost beyond RPs, not to mention that two out of three of those require far more work and interaction than this. However, I am not here to discuss it nor play balance suggestions. The thread is clogged up as it is. I wish to hear an Admin's response to this question, for future usage. You aren't an Admin, let alone someone capable of ruling this.
