    Bohumil turns and briefly watches the exchange between Konstansz and Yrisz before heading on down the corridor. "You pay unusual regard to a Vulysen Sister, whether or not she is one of your vicars. That egalitarianism reminds me of her, the Rebus Curate we were talking about. I'm sure you must...

    Thank you for providing a sample character, Palpatim. It was more useful than you may have expected in terms of giving me some insight into what the capabilities of such a character might be, especially comparing it to characters I made myself. Since it is unlikely that we will go ahead with any...

    The Order of the Green Lion's original purpose was to provide a series of scenarios for pick-up and casual chat games, but they quickly changed into the regular-format, serial adventures. Also, the main limitation on the speed-to-play for a pick-up game is character creation, with guest players...

    As I usually do with pre-packaged settings, I have altered a number of elements to suit my tastes. The descriptions provided in this post can be said to broadly resemble the official world, but differ in many specifics. Tenra Banshou Zero is an alternate, "hyper-Asian" world consisting of...

    Technology in Mekton settings often undergoes rapid development. What follows is information from two years prior to the scenario. Damage, structure, and stopping, essentially "hit points" are measured differently between mecha-scale and personal-scale. For NPCs, units are measured in Hits, and...

    Okay I am certainly going to be showing my mental density here but I must have failed to grasp really any of the lore of DnD or of The Unquiet Lands. Ioun and Avandra are DnD deities, right? They must be polar opposites? How/when did we find out that the Constellation Bureau was aligned with Ioun...

    I will roll the perception check, but only on your signal. You can inform me in the OOC post body that your character is making a check, or you can actually make a roll to signify it, but that roll will only serve as a placeholder. If you do neither, your character will still be using his Passive...

    Then it sounds like an appropriate response would be to continue Perception checks and not worry about the insight until such time as an NPCs behavior warrants it or a perception check indicates something fishy is going on. Do I need to be more actively rolling perception on each new encounter...

    The Feng Shui scenario will not take place in the standard setting of the "Secret War." That doesn't mean some of the props won't be reused, as can be seen below with the inclusion of Buro-like weaponry. It will still be a world where magic and super-science can be found lurking not too far below...

    Nox (with the help of Konstanz) will be actively searching for "life-like" homunculus and suspicious of any new encounters. So, Umi, if you could let me know if anything beyond a simple perception check would be useful in either confirming or denying someone is an animated doll, I would appreciate...

    In terms of identifying a homunculus, yes, barring circumstances described above, such as a glamor or a crafter with enough skill and motivation to create a homunculus with lifelike flesh.

    So, touching someone (like a handshake) would be enough to determine with significant confidence if that person was animated or actually alive?

    Determining if someone is being influenced is an Insight Check that requires at least observation and preferably interaction. It is very conceivable that some artifact or person could be influencing the Hegumenia, but it's also possible that this is a normal deterioration in her personality or...

Could a particular artifact or person be a sort of puppet master which would serve to explain the seemingly rapid change in disposition of the Hegumenia? EDIT:...
