Forum rules
Here you can ask questions relating to the Standing Trials roleplay to everyone in the community. All members are welcome to assist here. PLEASE NOTE: Q & A answers which are more than 2 years old / very specific, are best asked again. Standing Trials is a dynamic and changing world - these forums represent the best answer at the time.
We're starting a little something different, somewhat in the spirit of the NaNoWriMo, since we're a writing site it seems appropriate to take the opportunity to motivate each other to have some fun and earn some medals by starting and completing...
/gallery/image.php?album_id=143&image_id=4097 The PSF
New Subforums
So, one of the things that has changed in the new site is that the new PSF is visible to everyone. This provides us an opportunity and so, this morning I've created some subforums in there - for completed / approved threads....
The Website: Standing Trials ( / ), referred to through the rest of this thread as the website , our website , the site , our site , Standing Trials , and Trials .
You: The person reading these words right now.

The Q&A Forum has been restructured on June 2, 2019. Now, instead of a bunch of different subforums for different questions, we're going to have you put all questions in this main forum. We ask that you use title tags to indicate what your question might be about.
Something I've wondered about. Since drugs are technically the province of poisoning (which was wrapped into Medicine during the Skill Scale Down), would it be possible to absorb or create a drug that has all the effects of that drug with Kuvarakh's effigy? And then use it in their breath weapon or...
So looking into personal NPCs I saw there was info about the PC teaching an NPC;
Can gain N xp (non-magic) per thread where the PC is teaching them (teaching must be the focus of the thread), max 20 per cycle, where N depends on their teaching skill (N is 1 at comp, 2 at expert, 3 at master, 4 at...
something that's confusing me is how do we actually get knowledge from a thread? Do we just make a list of the stuff we want and paste it in the request? does staff just pick something for you?
I feel a bit like a broken record always stressed about how matters of money works here in regards to things that aren't so cut and dry or laid out neatly in the shoppe but, alas, I am a stickler for following the rules and want to make sure I am handling things appropriately and not...
Should Transmutation qualities be acquired through skilled or unskilled knowledge? Could it be either?
Can certain qualities that the mage has definitely been exposed to before be used without first establishing them in rp? Examples that come to mind are the heat of a flame,...
If someone would answer a question or two about yludih, dreams, and dreamwalking, I would be grateful!
1. In the yludih lore it says,
When the time seems right, a child is told they are a Yludih, taught entry into Uleuda and inducted with the other children to the beginnings of their education....
If I have it where my character spent large swaths of time growing up researching spirits in a public library, the one in Desnind if that matters, how much knowledge could they start with in regards to the subject? Just up to the uncommon knowledge that they are of nature? Would she be able to...
I have been thinking it would be cool for my Sev'ryn's Ose-Bori to be an owl but looking at the familiar primer I saw that avian familiars are at least generally tied to Delroth and the Tarouz mark. Does that mean Osi-bori can't/shouldn't be avian in nature or is it alright to have mine be an Owl?
Now that you've completed this, you are free to start playing Standing Trials. Here's a link to types of threads that you will participate in as you play Standing Trials.

I have figured out the time involved for the various travels that are part of my characters back story but I haven't seen anything covering the finacial cost of travel on the wiki. In particular I am concerned with the cost to travel both by small and large boats. I am wanting to make sure what I...
All PCs start with 6 skills. 2 Competent (cannot be a magic domain), 3 Novice + 1 Racial Bonus . You have the XP and the Knowledge to be at this level.
I know that the Racial Bonus can also be the Fast Track skill but does it have to be a 6th skill or can I start out with 5 skills and have one of...
I just had my soul leave my body because I was writing a post and when I was done with the post I went to preview it, and the site logged me out. When I logged back into the site my post was gone and was not in auto drafts.
It's my guess that it was not in auto drafts because I made the...
If we're doing a non-lucid dream thread are we allowed to have flavor NPCs with mages and/or blessings? thought I'd ask before hand as I work on a dream story
I noticed that there are some mechanics where you're allowed to add extra skill points over 250/250, such as renown rewards and immortal blessings. My question is why would you want to do that? It doesn't make much sense to me so I thought I thought I'd ask!
I was thinking about having my character make their own outfits IC instead of buying them (for IC reasons). I gather this is possible because there are skills for needlecraft and textile production. My question is: how does one actually go about crafting stuff? The only thing I could find in the...
Somehow I got it in my head that Revealed mages cannot initiate other mages. However, when I tried to find the information on the wiki, I couldn't find anything to that effect.
How many mages can a revealed mage initiate, if they can initiate?
When a necromancer becomes competent, it's said that they can develop a new custom thrall that is different from other types and existing templates and modifiers. Do you need to roleplay developing this undead first, or submit the new undead to the CTW forum first?
