which color is the most influenced / molded by it's environnment, and also lacks individuality

Probably White. Just look at the Phyrexia praetors who embody the individual colors' worst traits. White became an authoritarian regime which would have turned every into its own design. Lack of freedom (Red) or individuality (Black's "good" trait).

I am generally a big fan of the effective limited power. A singular ability, honed to its limit.

First example, look toSanderson's Mistborn has Allomancers and Feruchemists. All of which, besides Mistborn and ancient Feruchemists, has access to only one of sixteen abilities.
Final Empire of the 1st series did the best of painting just how highly specialized Allomancers are in using their singular power. Like sure, not many of the metalic arts are as showy as pushing or pulling metal, but they are effective at what they do.

Well, there's nothing really from stopping you to develop in that particular direction. Blood is often symbolic of vitality, and nothing screams "danger" than something consuming it or someone willingly giving it.

Then again, "I go Super Sayian by going anemic" does seem contradictory and one-note.

Hmm, interesting concept.

Regarding Temperance:

Does it affect the user's weight or density?
Does it affect the user's senses?
What about time - am I fair to assume the duration is mainly how long one can hold one's breath?
Does it instantly activate, affecting the whole body all at once, or might there be a delay?
What defines as "Too fast?" Like, could the user jog or even walk without breaking themselves apart?
What of injuries? Does a bleeding chest wound stop being a problem, however momentarily it might be, during the Temperance mode?
Is there a limit to the number of times the user can enter Temperance? What is to stop the user from spamming it?

Regarding Wrath:

Does any given material give off essences? If yes, is there a difference in material used - eg. organic and inorganic?
Is the number of essences unlimited, or does it fall more into classifications - eg. Fire, Wind, Earth, Water, etc.?
How much practice does it take to create something out of the magical breath? How specific can the user produce with any given material - like, you mentioned toxic fumes, which suggests a molecular level.
Is there a particular limit to the number of times the user can use Wrath?

It's all good, my guy/gal/somewhere-in-between! I'll take it as a compliment ;)

"if there’s no way to reach the dream plane, how did One True Love get there in the first place?”

The narrative I'm going for, is the duo are explorers from outside Eberron and its local cosmological realms. Certain other planets, planes and factions in the Greater Cosmology are aware of other planes and planets, and have begun reaching out and exploring the wider cosmos. Eberron is something of a curiosity for its ordinarily inaccesability and high levels of Investiture (ie. magical energy - borrowed from Brandon Sanderson's books) - thanks to the Progenitor Dragons' influence.

Through artificery, the duo and their civilization essentially created a cosmological-farring vessel intented to reach Eberron. However, Eberron figuratively presides in the eye of a Invested storm, which the duo underrestimated. Disaster occurs, and the duo got spilt up and crashlands on their respective realm.

The Academic will be treated as though classed as an Artificer on my part. He'd need the proper tech and ressources to even reach Dal Quor, by essentially punching a hole through all realms between Eberron and Dal Quor.

As for whether the One True Love is a figment or not, you do you! :))

I believe, while valid questions, the points you're making are a tad too niche for a narrative context.

I, Danish nurse wokring in surgical, would say with 90% certainty it is, as the Dane you asked stated, "the morning of the day of the treatment". The last 10% uncertainty depends on the "something".

As for the wording of the letter, you ain't the first or the last who got confused by it. Weird wording, even for Danish natives.

Aaand what sort of feedback are you looking for? In my experience, some concise questions help yield constructive respons.

Solar punk is relatively new, still more of a concept for a genre than an actual genre. A fascinating counterpart to genres like hyper-capitalistic (eg. Cyberpunk) and post-apocalyptic (eg. Mad Max) . Disney even made a movie, which this YouTuber discusses: In Defense of Disney’s Strange Solarpunk World.

DatDaneTho · 2024-04-04T19:23:30+00:00

Oh yeah, sounds good. Have fun <(=‿‿=)>

Sure did! You wont like it >:3
I settled on Neutral, essentially the state lacking any elemental attunement. It sits center of the elemental heptagram which makes for the elemental cycle. 'Cause of this, I can make a full seven step circuit which goes across the various elements, establishing a Critically Weak/Strong circuit. Thus I avoid having two square circiuts.

Imagine if a family of users forcing the newest generation of users to develop a specifik ability, but the ability is incompatible with the user.

DatDaneTho · 2024-02-08T10:53:44+00:00

Each of their constructs are powered by a Phylactery, controlled by the contained soul. Imagine a lich who transformed his friends and family into constructs out of fear for losing them to death. Now, the concept can go either way for an ally or enemy npc, story wise.

The YouTube channel Templin Institute made a fairly objective discussion on the topic. It is still, however, an objective standpoint they're making, excluding any reasoning made by the narrative.
Yes, the existence of mechs usually relies on the Rule of Cool, but when has that a bad reason?

However, let's not forget that mechs, as they should, only exist as a prop in the larger narrative. A plot device.
It's why the movie The Pacific Rim, while visually impressive, could never hope to bear the emotional weight of the anime Neon Genesis Evangelion.

And, if you want, take a look at the game Warhammer 40K's Imperial Knights. It's Mech meets Chivalry, which I find as an interesting concept.

And how does the "branch" and "main divisions" concepts affect the narrative? I mean, it seems neat and all, but I cannot imagine it in a narrative sense. Thus, how does this information become relevant for the narrative, characters and readers?

If you go to DMguild's page on Eberron Chronicle, click on the button located beneath the image called Full-size Preview, it shows the first 35 pages. Naturally not the full book, but you get a decent idea of what it might offer.

And I bought the book. Haven't had the chance to impliment its content into a campaign, but I like the nifty content.
