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.
It's Rebirth Cycle time, and we're onto 726th arc.
We've seen a bit of a flurry of activity, and new interest this past cycle, a good number of new faces and some returning ones, and others passing by to say hello. Always nice to see folks coming and going.

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 Staff: All users who are identified as...
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.
So I have a question that necessarily must come in several parts. Forgive me for being all over the place here.
So this question comes from a need to know the mechanics of magic in relation to Emeyan beings. Specifically the technique of Feed from Becoming. As I expect this character and perhaps...
If their Effigy requires a certain strain upon the Mortal body to use, the body will become resistant to that strain. Like their Dragon, the Bearer is immune to any powers, be they from Effigies, Blessings, Magic, or natural sources, that fall under the...
I have recently created my character and have chosen the skills I wish for my character to have via the starting package/UCP. However, I thought I read somewhere in the wiki that your character starts with a certain number of knowledges per skill based on their competency. I thought there was more...
So I couldn't help but notice the Necromancy wiki page and the Wells wiki page have either contradictory information, or simply a little confusing for me.
First off, Necromancy page only lists 4 wells that can be used for welled thralls. It calls them well 'types'.
Ezymite, Imedyte, Emetyte,...
Can dreamwalkers enter the dreamscape of someone who is awake and therefore not present in their own dreamscape, if there is a preexisting bond for that dreamwalker to follow?
Since dragons are so wholly removed from Emea that not even domain magic can affect them, what might...
I am both interested in Sovereign and Arcane Mentalism. My aproach to the latter is to start with a spark and transition away from it in favor of utilizing magic of my character's own control instead. As such when I saw the concept of the Shattered as the failed intiation of the Soveriegn...
There are two “enhance” methods in graft which seem to do different things. The first is Adhering: Enhance, while the second is Corrupting: Enhance. Mechanically, these look like two different things, and I’d like to clarify the limits of each.
I have a question about the magic Becoming, and a scenario where a dragonling (which I understand to be no more than a beast, albeit one bonded to a dragon's brood) is made into a becomer's totem through its three sovereign substances. Is this possible/
Hello! This is my second character on the site. I thought I'd take a break from my first after running into several problems and learning from those many mistakes. So why not start with another? Before I get into the nitty-gritty of filling out my CS, I thought I'd ask a few preliminary questions....
You will also have been automatically assigned Knowledge for your skills.
Alright, this sounds like this applies to the skill selection done during the automatic CS process. Unfortunately, I cannot figure out where these automatic knowledges are, and thus, cannot apply them to the full CS, which...
Hiya, just popping in to ask if other forms of narrative are acceptable to use here. I have a post that uses a playwright narrative (e.g. Kotton (thinking): abcd, Supervisor 1: looks to supervisor 2, and so on.) If I need to post the thread I'm talking about for more explanation, let me know. I am...
I see that wells have offensive and, in some cases, latent power. Do you have to pick between one or the other when you're crafting an item or can an item utilize both properties?
Example: a windstar staff that emits a jet of wind and also weighs almost nothing
The purpose of this thread is to make sure I understand the process so I don't inadvertently break rules or screw up :D If something I said is wrong please correct me! My goal is to have Luvi happen across a fracture and gather some low level wells so she can start her ensorcelling journey.
Since Goku finally has some wells, I am interested in making some ensorcelled items with them. The Hone and Wells write-ups have a bit about putting the power of runes in a well. If I do this, am I right to assume that this would automatically require a psf submission because the item would stray...
Power From Fear ~ A power that allows the Bearer to strengthen themselves, this power relies on the fear of others. The more people the Bearer has affected with their Fear powers, the stronger the Bearer grows. Rather than growing their physical strength, this power increases the frequency with...
As Luvi experiences more and more combat I find myself asking more questions about what her capabilities actually are without having to worry about overstepping, etc.
1) Are umbral traps visible? The only hint I found is that umbral runes “often” take the appearance of dark inky shadows. I was...
If I made a blood alchemy potion that granted domain magic powers like moving rocks or changing shape, would performing those actions cost the drinker his ether? It seems almost too good to be true for someone to get entire cycles of no-overstepping casting from a single potion but that's what I...
I just learned that there's knowledge, xp, etcetra in the UCP and things have been recently automatically populating in there. How do I add things from my character sheet to it?
Solid Shadow ~ Solid Shadow allows the Bearer to have their shadow reach into the physical world as a solid being. While the shadow initially has a strictly mortal form, this still allows the Bearer to use their shadow to their benefit, even more so as their Effigy progresses...
had a question about travel time, mounts, and hone
is there any issue with a lucis granting their mount extra speed and endurance to cut travel times down? Likewise, my character has wings, so could I cut his travel time down as well? It makes sense to me logically but I realize it would reduce...
