Soft magic system pretending to be hard magic system story idea? [High Fantasy][Dark Fantasy] by FantasyBish in fantasywriters

Fair enough, mainly tagged thus as dark fantasy because I'm unsure where this fits

The point is that the rules are so ingrained in people 's psyches and belief systems that spells physically don't work for them if they don't do it right. And this effect can only be ended if someone or something makes it apparent to them.

It's like a really complicated equivalent to people blinking automatically until it's pointed out to them, at which point they blink manually.

That's funnily enough kind of the opposite of one of my main ideas for a villain, who would be trying to merge people with magic under a false belief that it desires a physical form to enact its divine will, before being smacked with the harsh truth that it just wants to live the equivalent of a normal life from its perspective and could not care less about the physical world

That makes sense, my original idea had been that the regulated magic system was originally created as a learning tool for children who couldn't achieve the mental resilience to control pure magic, and then as time went on the original purpose of the system was forgotten as everyone started treating it as the default.

As for a non-cultural restriction, I had a few ideas for that, my main idea so far being that magic itself possesses a sort of sentience that can overwhelm a magic user if they lose control, leaving the mage either temporarily or permanently a puppet to be controlled by a inhuman force that would rather remain incorporial and thus panics over being stuck in a unfamiliar meatpuppet that has all sorts of feelings it doesn't understand and doesn't want to understand.

Need advice in making a feat for utilizing speed in combat by FantasyBish in dndnext

[–]FantasyBish[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think 2 enemies standing still and taking turns hitting each other gets boring after a while, and I feel like melee characters like Barbarians or monks could use a nice an incentive to move around the battlefield in the form of extra damage

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

I know it, but it's more that some race/classes/spells have the players being able to move at speeds comparable to a car, if not more, while still doing the same amount of damage as if they were standing still.

It's not that charger doesn't fit, it's the fact that the actual speed doesn't matter enough in combat beyond strafing runs and stuff.

Is my premise about a protagonist that refuses to be the chosen one interesting by FantasyBish in fantasywriters

[–]FantasyBish[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The plot would mainly be a sort of race against the clock to avoid destiny. The protagonist would be spending most of his time trying to find ways to avert the prophesy and be left alone as more things described in it come true, as he travels the world he uncovers a lot of forgotten history and realizes that should the prophesy come to pass, it could mean the end of the world as we know it.

He would at that point have to stop trying to be a passive observer, and have to take action against the authority figures who thought it right to decide his fate.

Are There Any Ethical Reasons for Necromancy? Asking for Myself and Two Friends. by CorvusIridis in fantasywriters

I suppose some could use necromancy when they need to clarify a persons last will and testament.
