Snowfall seems to inexplicably be inactive randomly after summoning Snow Crow, when a battle ends I always have the chance of Snowfall never activating until I relog after that.

Here are the methods in which I've attempted to find the source of the issue:

-Summon Snow Crow, end battle prematurely
-Summon Snow Crow, have it die and then revive it at the inn


None of these work in replicating the issue, I am very much unable to find out the reason why Snowfall just inexplicably stops working sometimes, but its very important to me that it does work (It serves as my Verglas' opener.)

Here's some more useful information that might help:

-The Snow Crow is most definitely considered active, it summons as normal and uses its own snowshoes correctly.
-My Snow Crow is regalia'd and renamed.
-Every time it has occurred has been Snow Crow lives through a battle, whether it finishes normally or I leave battle prematurely.
-I am a bonder with Contract Tres.

I wish I could provide a definite legitimate and replica-table reason why this was happening, all I know is that I can fix it by relogging.

A short and simple suggestion, as it stands One-Hit wonder doesn't exactly do what is advertised. What it states it does is as follows: Increased power with Shotgun-type weapons based on rank: Rank 1 = +5 Power (and that's it, there isn't a showing for ranks 2-5 for whatever reason, not that it's entirely needed).

The problem with this is well.. that it's incredibly misleading. It doesn't actually increase your shotgun's power, as I've tested with numerous things such as the Magical Nova's Spelledge, Nitrogen Drop from Demon Hunter, and Magical Nova's Potential Skill. What it actually  does is add 5 damage per rank to your basic attacks. While not awful, it's not what is advertised on the tin at all.

I'd like to propose the innate passive be reworded to reflect what it currently does, or reworked to actually increase power as it states on the tin. That's all.

So to preface this is.. an incredibly niche thing that I just happened to find cause I was testing to see what the highest possible evasion damage reduction is.

The actual bug is how In-fighter Gi is stacking with Ice Point Greaves for evasion damage reduction. Now Unless I'm wrong with how the item works, it turns the normal 15% damage reduction of light armor for evasion into 15+19(UL)= 34% instead which, coupled with Ice Point Greaves's additional 15%, should add up to a reduction of 49%.

The problem is that it doesn't become 49% reduction, it becomes 41%. Here are some calculations.

In these tests a level 60 Grindylow was used for a consistent damage, which is 219 Ice magical.

With just a normal evasion wearing an Infighter Gi, we only take 145 from 219. The calculation to get there is 219 - 34% = 144.54, which is always rounded up. So far so good.

Now in this example we have Infighter Gi + Ice Point Greaves. We end up taking 130 from 219. The calculation to get there ends up being 219 - 41% = 129.31, again sl2 rounds up. There is.. a problem with this. Infighter Gi's 34% added to Ice Point Greaves 15% should give us a calculation of 219 - 49% = 111.69. For some reason it isn't here. So it's not being added additionally.. is it being added multiplicitvely then? Well.. also no (unless my math is garbage), in that case it would be 34%*15%= 39.1% Which of course.. is close to 41% but not quite there.

I'm not sure if this is intentional or not, but I figured it might be a bug and have posted it thusly.

Applicable BYOND Key - Sneker

Character Name - Eleanor (Surname still being decided)

Request Type - Young age and lowered height for a child character (Age: 6, Height: 5'0" (Naga Height) )

Request Details -  I am applying for the soon-to-be child of Elefred and Meri. I have permission from both parties and I'm filling this out, in turn, for the character's existence. The purpose, of course, is to offer the two some more development, as well as offer myself some slice of life RP.

Reason why you are making this request (if applicable) - I'm making this request as I was given permission and asked if I wanted to play as the child in question.  I am filling this out by the guidelines that require me to do so, as well as following the procedures.  I also plan to follow the rules and guidelines to a "T".

Roleplay & Lore supporting your request - Regarding the roleplay and lore, the parents in question have tried and succeeded in having a baby.  The character in itself is not yet "born", but they will be once things are concluded in their RP.  However, there are signs that the child will exist in the near future, within a reasonable time frame of the application. This request is being made to fulfill the demand and requirement for the child to fully exist when the time comes.

Currently, Aptitude's stats do not count towards bases, I have noticed this leaves confusion at times when saving up for particular traits, would it be possible to have it so that traits read into your aptitude's bonus stats somehow as well? So if I want Lovely Face I would only need to be sitting at 15 GUI with Aptitude and not around 23-25.

There is also a degree of merit to allowing Aptitude to count as a base stat similar to histories/starsigns, as that will also make it so that Overload doesn't gain a free 440 damage anymore.

Character Name - Ly Astenturf [Four Seasons Trading Company]

Request Type - Character status & character assets

Request Details - I want to apply for true, high-standing nobility of the Empire for the character. The kind that makes the ordinary citizen look at you with awe, and fright. The kind so influential it would be criminal not to bow, and show courtesy. It's a position of power primarily seated in the high circles of Cellsvich due to her economical prowess, with strings across most of the naval commerce set between the Empire, Oniga, Egwyn, and Kysei. Presently Ly already has huge stakes in Dormeho, and naval trade in general, I just want her position as a maritime powerhouse to be truly cemented, and indomitable compared to the competition.

Though Ly is by no means a born noble, her merits, and position would earn her the recognition, and titles of the high-standing. As I'm unaware of what titles the Empire even holds, the exact title would have to be figured out. 

For assets, here's the specifics of what I want to request: [The rest are in the other document]

[Wavebreaker Shipyard]
Wavebreaker shipyard is the shipyard in Dormeho. More specifically, it's several bays in which ships are made, and it is among the largest, most advanced places in the world when it comes to crafting any kind of naval vessel under the sun. A great deal of money flows to, and from this place, and it isn't exclusively used by Ly's company. It often works on contract from anyone with enough coin on hand, although most would be screened by the local overseer before any project would begin. The shipyard is largely considered the best place to be for aspiring shipwrights, and many fight to be hired on hand due to the prestige, and good pay the work typically gives them. The shipyard's manual labour consists mostly of Mechanations, which, while compensated for their work should they wish, typically without real sentience, or understanding of anything beyond their work.

[The Four Seasons Private Docks]
As the name implies, these are private docks exclusively used by Ly, and those she permits. It'd be a rather substantial part of the total stretch of Dormeho, enough that remaining on good terms with her company is an extremely good idea should one wish to dock their ships without owning private docks of their own. She would be freely within her rights to deny docking within this area, and actively would to anyone she didn't know, or had no business with. Along with the docks themselves, she also owns much of the industry in close proximity to these docks, such as various fishing-related facilities, cranes, and though not too much given the land-based nature, a decently sized caravan-branch.

[The Four Seasons Fleet]
Given the success of her mercantile lead, and business practice, Ly has since gathered an incredible amount of vessels, be it through having them constructed herself, buying them out, or being given them. Not every vessel is capable of true sea travel, and many work within the sphere of the Empire itself. As for exact numbers, given the absolutely titanic nature of the company, she would have about 200 vessels across the world, always sailing, and fulfilling the needs of those with enough coin. A large part of this fleet (Likely about 70-80 vessels) are purely dedicated to sailing goods between Sigrogana, and Oniga under the partnership with House Cyre. The rest are either docked, sail under other contracts, or are leased out to other companies for whatever they might need. The flagship of her fleet, the 'Spring Carrier', is always docked in Dormeho, ready to sail Ly wherever she would.

Assets, and influence will persist in her lineage, IE, move on to her daughter's ownership once Ly retires, and so on. With some consequences of course, such as loss of trust, and personal experience, etc. Those would have to be made anew.

Reason why you are making this request (if applicable) - I've grown Ly as a character for about 5 years OOCly at this point, starting from very, very young, to her now elderly age. Through this journey, she sailed on the very ship that would eventually become the flagship of her maritime empire, amassing more, and more wealth first on the sea, and then land when she could finally sail no more. Her company has only grown throughout all these years, nurtured by various things I cannot mention openly in fear of meta-gaming, but will include in a separate document.

I want her position in life to be properly reflected politically in the game. Made 'Canon', if you would, giving her a ton of actual recognition world-wide from anyone that had to do with commerce, either as someone to be looked up to, or to be envied for her resources.

Roleplay & Lore supporting your request - Ly's journey began when she was adopted into the house of a wealthy Mercalan man, and though she never officially took his surname, she did buy her first ship with his benefaction. This ship was an old frigate titled 'The Spring Carrier' once used for privateering in the days of the Sigro-Onigan war, seeing plenty of battles in its time, and coming out relatively unscathed afterwards. The crew, though not happy to be under the leadership of a woman, and one with zero experience at sea no less, nevertheless took her aboard as it sailed east, for the coasts of Gold.

Though her vessel was her own, Ly began to make money by sailing under a maritime company by the name of 'Summertide Trading', leasing away her ship to travel the stretch between Sigrogana, and Oniga in the times of the post-war tragedy, earning her no small amount of voyages as the company dealt with the noble clan of House Cyre. With a highly experienced crew to teach her, it wouldn't be long before she mastered the stretch, and gradually began to earn the respect, and recognition of those aboard. By the time her company saw their profits grow, and expand, Ly had already placed heavy stocks in the company itself, and began on what she would later come to consider her conquest of the company's assets.

It would be roughly fifteen years at sea, where she sailed further, and further from her home in the Empire, meeting new people, and potential business partners she referred to the company in both Chaturanga, and in Egwyn. Becoming multilingual as a result of necessity for proper communication came during this time, and Ly herself would often be contracted by the company to land deals, or speak with representatives whenever she wasn't commandeering her own ship on voyages. This was almost certainly the most studious time in her life, and one that she would recall fondly for the rest of her days.

...But it would not last. Having been called by a favour from a friend, she lent her ship, and crew to sail them to a fateful confrontation. Not long after her friends had set foot in Egwyn, her vessel was assaulted by an unknown faction, her crew killed, and Ly herself disappearing with only a couple of scraps of her uniform remaining behind. Her friends, though victorious, would sail home on a battered ship with none of the original crew to guide them.

From here, her history becomes muddled for a while: [See the other document]

Six or so years later however, Ly appeared anew in her former company's office, finding that it had steadily declined while she had been away. Using most of her assets, and shrewd diplomacy, she bought out one of the two owners of the company, entering into a dual partnership with the remaining one. For about half a year, she worked from land to ensure that the coin would flow in again, this time reaping the benefits of her work directly as she could once again cast her net across the world to all her previous business partners, of which she had always remained positive with. They were, of course, happy to see her return to what she did best-- lining everyone's pockets with murai.

Upon reaching the halfway-point of the year however, at the cusp of winter, her fellow co-owner fell deathly ill with an illness that would go on to rot his brain from the inside, and out. No physician could save him, and Ly would in the end remain as the sole owner of the company, due to a lack of progeny of her partner.

She took the opportunity to rebrand the company's name from 'Summertide Trading' to 'Four Seasons Trading Company', implying that despite whatever season it was, she would deliver without fail. With her sphere of influence growing, her wealth flowing in, and seemingly no major threats to her company's existence, it would continue to develop for many, many years forward.

With her vast amounts of wealth, she would funnel large portions of it back into her company to ensure its dominance in the market, but she would also begin to fund various things in the side-- community projects, or philanthropy, primarily around Dormeho which made up her own base of operations as far as her company was concerned. She would be one of the first to step forward when the Dormehan militia under the leadership of one Zachery Cross underwent changes, financially supporting them so they could better protect the people, and by proxy, her company. She would also later go on to host a myriad of different events to improve the positive look of herself, gathering vast donations for those in need, or those providing for the same.

These days the company is about as big as it's going to get, with most of what it earns merely being circled back in to keep it steady, and strong. Ly seems fine with this however, and hasn't made any big changes that might hurt it in the long run, likely in preparation for when she eventually gets too old to handle the responsibilities it yet entails.

Ask any lore questions here. Anyone can answer them. Answers need not be correct.

This is going to be a biased thread, as I just fought a build that heavily relied on the qualities I’m complain against. Take my opinions with a heavy grain of salt.

Evade from skills should not stack; it should only use the highest available buff. Unarmored Prowess should not stack with Protection from Arrows; assuming the same rank against bows it would use Protection from Arrows and against everything else it would use Unarmored Prowess, for example.

As it only counts skills, armor will still function with the skills, as would CEL-boosts. In addition, it would make non-magical dodgers more viable- as more skills get added to the game, more options become available to stack even more dodge. As a non-magical dodger, you’d be out of many of the skills added and thus the tropes of a non-magical swashbuckler or fencer or such become less viable as they fall out of the meta. Making each dodge skill unstackable lets users choose each skill at which best fits their concept.

The same could apply to hit skills; I would recommend a buff to sharpen if this was the case.
