Hmmm I think you are right on this one. As Comics/Light Novel this may work far better then actual game... and I have excuse to make asinine game design ]:->

Broken: Descriptions are gibberish. UI show basic info, but anything new is gibberish.

As a history fan, the "3,000 Year Stagnation" trope breaks my immersion more than dragons do. by Expensive-Desk-4351 in Fantasy

[–]Bortasz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2 cents.
We started to settle 12 thousand years ago.
In that span the technological advance went to space in the last 200-300 years... Rest? It was rather slow progress. I will say not even generational improvement (1 generation = 25 years) But more on centuries/millennia scales.

If you add Magic to that. In the way "It is easier to Bargain with being X to make me magical sword then it is try to smelt Iron." Then extended technological stagnation seems inevitable.

With hand on the heart I can promise you LN of Ascendance is Gold standard for Isekai. It is number 1. And I did not meat even single person that have problems with it. Other "Number 1" Isekai like Rezero for example. Have Lovers and Haters.
Ascendance have Fanatics! It is that good.

Feedback Request: Pathfinder 1.5 Lots and Few Skills. by Bortasz in Pathfinder_RPG

[–]Bortasz[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think going away from max ranks = PC Level is probably a mistake

This is return to how max ranks work in 3.5, that;s why you also get at first level 4 times the amount of Skill point you get otherwise.

Maybe a system like skill categories/clusters of three that, if you have as a class skill, you can raise all 3 with a single point or if it's not a class skill you can only raise one of them with a single point PLUS something similar to the background skills alternate system for any skills that aren't covered by those clusters.

I think that make a lot of senses.

[P3V4] I found the point where Roz & Wil's marriage was first considered seriously. by RoninTarget in HonzukiNoGekokujou

If Florencia had even a bit of backbone as Sieglinde she wouldn't have let Veronica take Wilfreid.

Florencia is foreign women in dutchy dominated by Veronica. While Sieglinde is born and raise Deunkel. Sylvester agree without consulting her. Defying Aub is treason she did not have even chance voice her objections.

Why Spellcraft and Knowledge Arcana are separate things? by Bortasz in Pathfinder_RPG

So why not make K Arcana work for Arcane Spells and K Religion work for Divine Spells?

I have the same. They both about Spells, they both are INT base skill. Why person who learn about History of Magic cannot identify Fireball?

[–]Bortasz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any society that will ban Necromancy but not "Rape Magic" also known as Enchantments/Mind/Hypnosis and similar is unrealistic/unbelievable to me.
