How long has it been since you've touched this CYOA? Hasn't it been a couple years? Jeez.

I'm a free spirit, if I wake up and decide to randomly update a 10 year old cyoa, that's what I'm going to do.

Cool lich by the way.
Honestly kinda jesus-coded. You serve El, but the populace hates you? You're going to get lynched and 'miraculously' return to life, aren't you?

I was thinking somewhere inbetween militant Buddhism and peaceful Islam. If God was a real and active force, and some guy with a garbage reputation somehow was blessed with healing. I mean, I would personally reassess my hate of necromancy, I don't know about you.

The natural state of the world is a dense wilderness. For the ground to yield to cultivation, the land must be in agreement with the institutions. That's why when, for example, a lord's evil brother usurps the throne, there's draught and famine, until a rightful heir is returned to the throne.
Anything that requires a human tender requires a noble bloodline to consent to that tending.

But there are edible plants that are not crops. Bramble bushes and mushrooms that grow in the wild and can be foraged for. You could modify those to give you a greater yield, but you wouldn't have them in neat rows in a garden. They'd be spread growling freely across a section of wilderness.

I'm gonna be honest, bruv.
If I were a paladin, I would NOT care that you're wearing priestly garbs or that you're offering me water.
If I'm strolling up to an evil lair, I'm probably the one starting combat, and I'm taking any attempt at diplomacy as deception, or heretical delusion.

Maybe if you defeat me first and then show mercy we can have a little story beat where I'm surprised to find you holy.

>>97367423
>and I'm taking any attempt at diplomacy as deception, or heretical delusion.
Anon, just take Detect Evil.

>>97367390
I don't think so, I'm not seeing it in the post history of /u/BevinPontifex.

>>97367428
1. some spells really just serve to trivialize everything interesting, don't they?
2. how's Radiant? I skimmed it but it seems to me like there's not much variety in terms of flavor. You can have a specific loadout, but any build is going to have the same character concept more or less, am I wrong in that?

After we kill the enemies from the drawbacks, we will loot enough resources to greatly reinforce the Abandoned Ruins and be able to live openly without fear. Bodyswappers with a retinue of other stealthy minions will be our agents in the outside world.

>>97367386
interesting, is this one of the high nature spirits from the drawback causing this?

what happens if you cultivate the land by force? Is something preventing me from Ploughing the land? Can a conjurer just turn the land into a mass of elementals they plant crops on?

what would happen if I subjugated or killed the high nature spirit?

What about not land based farming like hydroponics?

Quite intimidating, isn't it? Horror with a slice of humanity to evoke the uncanny along with the typical body horror. Works wonders in conjunction with an actual psionic attack. Far reach and many limbs are bonuses.

>>97367452
The way its made is very similar to their other works

>>97367491
All the things explained by particle physics and microbiology in real life happen because of spirits in this setting, so you can't make plants grow by setting the right material conditions, you have to get the plant's spirit to induce it.
Mages can do some stuff with individual plants on that front, but not like a whole field of crops to sustain a community.
And yes, if you're accursed nature itself is against you, so you can't rely on the wilds as your home.

>>97367529
so what would happen if the nature spirit got killed?

>>97367529
If I take the nature spirits from someone elses land could I double my crop?
Could I build a large tower and put all of the food production in it?

Gilbert......... ;____;

>>97367454
>>97367505
So, besides being a body horror, what do you want? You've amassed all this power and made the world your enemy in order to... defend yourself against the world you've made your enemy?
What started all this? Do you want to take over the world, or do you just want to hang out with your intelligent plant bros?

is there still a market for 1-3 pages cyoas?

>>97367454
>more gooning material
let's go

>>97367722
Why wouldn't there be?

>>97367722
Yes

>>97367654
I want to take over the world indeed, but hanging out with intelligent plants and other things is also a goal, one that can likely only be accomplished after world domination. Everything ought to be intelligent and animate. The sky, the ground, the stars—everthing. If it weren't for the lack of time and resources, I would have made every individual in my swarms intelligent.

I am the culmination and physical incarnation of the mankind and his perseverance in the face of a super universe. I have only that of a normal human, scaled up - no supernatural powers beyond the ability to nullify the unnatural and bring them down to my level, and two representations of mankind's persistence: I will never be cowed by fear or alien effects, and I will rise again to fight no matter the force that puts me down. At some point in the future, the cosmic heart of Earth itself will recognize me as the scion of her first children, and bestow upon me a weapon to represent and command her biosphere, just as I represent the human race.

The setting uses this concept of animacy to blend the concepts of mind and matter.
Just like a wave is not just the particles of water that happen to make it up at any particular point in time, but a persisting distinct entity, a nature spirit is more than the particular plant life it presides over.
But at the same time, it's not a ghost that pops and exists seperately from those plants. It's like a presence within them.
Can you tame water by killing a wave? I suppose you can, but you'd be removing the animating energy that you might have been interested in in the first place.
Can you gain more water by stealing a wave? You'd just be stealing the water directly. In this analogy that'd mean uprooting all the plants and carrying them to your own territory.
