Evolving
Well I know I've come late to these evolving item things. I figured I get into the act and play a part as well while I'm at it. Have some fun with it. Gaia isn't the only one who can put up a good, slow evolution show (a.k.a Timmy). I will be updating this journal with the avatars and progression of the evolution
******

Such a dashing swordsman. With white winter rose in teeth I'm off to a fight.


******

I can't believe my opponent brought a cursed dagger to the fight. Now it's lodge in my arm. I think it hit bone. I'm going to go have this looked at.


******

Well, the person I went to see about getting this thing out of my shoulder couldn't really help. All got for the visit was this Black Orchid Brooch that's supposed to stop the curse from spreading. Ya right, I'll believe it when it happens. The good news is I'm starting to regain felling in my arm.

Parasol Paradox
The argument for Rings in the GBS:
The Parasol Paradox


User ImageUser ImageThe name is take from the Angelic and Nitmare Parasols (left to right). Both Parasols see use as surrogate shields, visually, on Gaia Avatars. If you assign them abilities based on what they are you end up voiding their use as shields. How many umbrellas have you seen that can stop a sword? However if you assign them values as if they were shields you have now voided their use as actual open parasols.

User ImageUser ImageWhile the Parasol Paradox is not as clear with other items it does exist. For example, the combination of Demon Bow and sheathed Ancient Katana can visual make the appearance of the Avatar holding a Spear or Lance(left). Assigning values to either the Demon Bow or Ancient Katana void this as an option for Battle Avatars. This is also true of a Naginata look(right).

The solution to the Parasol Paradox was to create a set of swappable abilities and allow users to assign those that best fit their look.


I'd like to thank the folks at TekTek for their Dream Avatar creator that allowed for these images.

I'd also like thank Lord Fates and his Why Using Weapons Makes No Sense At All.... thread for kicking my butt into actually articulating this point.


See you all in Battle!

Spacing!

D&D character quiz
You are a...


Neutral Good Human Ranger Bard


Alignment:
Neutral Good characters believe in the power of good above all else. They will work to make the world a better place, and will do whatever is necessary to bring that about, whether it goes for or against whatever is considered 'normal'.

Race:
Humans are the 'average' race. They have the shortest life spans, and because of this, they tend to avoid the racial prejudices that other races are known for. They are also very curious and tend to live 'for the moment'.

Primary Class:
Rangers are the defenders of nature and the elements. They are in tune with the Earth, and work to keep it safe and healthy.

Secondary Class:
Bards are the entertainers. They sing, dance, and play instruments to make other people happy, and, frequently, make money. They also tend to dabble in magic a bit.
