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 .

I found a couple links when searching for how to craft on the wiki
A guide to crafting metal items
Crafting Primer
They seem to conflict each other. The first details the number of threads we need to make things. The second suggests that you don't have to explicitly write out most mundane...
I had some questions about magic that I came across while reading earlier.
Necromancy:
How long does it take to raise someone who just died? Is it an instant thing, or is there some kind of process? I couldn't find any mention of time on the page.
I understand that to remove a spark I need to talk to a mod and all that, but I was wondering if it must be done before a character reveals. Or put in other words, can you remove a spark if you've already revealed?
I am planning on buying a scythe and I needed help figuring out what I can realistically buy.
1) Are we allowed to buy something that's masterwork?
2) can we get any metal that doesn't say it requires psf?
3) can we have the weapon color be whatever we like? I see some metals have a distinct...
Hone's speed rune allows us to move faster but not think faster. If we are not lucis and therefore don't have access to the rune that lets us process mentally at faster speeds... how fast can we reasonably be?
My goal is for my character to have a mix of strength and speed runes active at all...
If a flora/fauna entry says that there are secrets to be discovered about the plant/animal (eg. here ), is discovering them a matter of getting mod input on the discovery thread, or is it a matter of making up the discoveries as you write/selfmod the thread?
I was looking at the NPC page and got to wondering how we are meant to encounter stronger people, such as a rival that's always besting you even when you're an expert or a mage that killed your friend that you're hunting down.
I might be mistaken, but I think those NPCs are limited to being...
Hiya! So while I was writing about thrall counts as Netzach's Mentor, Hod. It suddenly struck me that protocol allows one to place a well inside of a thrall and allow it to act without the expenditure of ether and direct control of the Necromancer.
But does it still continue to count against the...
So the description for Haunt in the wiki states: Unlike any other undead type, a Haunt can be shaped to the necromancer's whims while it is in existence, manifesting claws, teeth, or any manner of weapons and additions the necromancer needs. While relatively fragile, it can easily be reformed with...
So, I'm wondering if the Shadow Illusions skill from Kuvarakh's Effigy encompasses more senses than the visual? For instance does it affect tactile sensation, auditory, taste, smell? Etc?
I ask because it being tier 2 I'd almost expect it to outclass glamour, but I'm not sure. The visual aspect as...
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.
The additional aspects of your CS are shown here: here - you can either use the boxcode there, your own...
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
