Welcome to Imythess, the border between dreams and reality. We hope you enjoy your visit.

Imythess is a creative writing board where you narrate the story of a character in the medieval land of Imythess, on the planet Chaon. Each topic is an opportunity for your character to interact with the world and its peoples by cooperatively writing pieces of a story with other members, one post at a time. We call this role-playing, because you assume the identity of your character as if it were your own.

In order to play, you must register an account for each character you would like to write about, and begin their tale by filling out their basic profile information: Race (human, elf, demon, etc.), class (warrior, mage, etc.), physical appearance, and any other personal details you would like to describe. You are also encouraged to come up with some background history information for what your character's life has been like up to the point at which their story in Imythess begins.

There is no approval process or application required to join, so long as you follow the rules then you are free to write whatever character details you choose. Registration is simple, fast, and completely free.

Blind Fight/Hearing

Since the blurb for Blind Fight reads, "Through sound and possibly other senses," I've been using it partially as an OOC justification for having uncommonly good hearing. Nothing phenomenal or game-changing, but I've let Zolero be able to guess other characters' positions by the sound of their footsteps with unusual accuracy, even if he's not fighting them. Is this a reasonable function for the feat?

It's a little like Awareness, but without the "it is extremely difficult for someone to sneak up on you" section. Blind Flee as well as Blind Fight, as it were.

We don't really have anything to give "superior hearing" on the site that I've found. Superior sight, touch, smell, yeah, but not hearing. I'd be happy using Blight Fighting to justify that.

I agree with the idea presented here, but I think we should make a simple way to justify enhancing a character's senses (particularly sight, hearing, and smell) without needing to purchase a PrC like Animal Charmer.

Thanks!

Would grafts work? There's quite a few grafted eyes in the shop, but no ears or noses or anything.

There's the Jacobson's Organ in the GRP Pool. That can be used to justify super smell. However, like I said, there really isn't any graft to enhance hearing, or at least none I could find.

I like Fira's idea that there be a way to "skill up" your senses, though I also worry about people getting a Master in all the senses for the amazing edge that would provide.
