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.

[a] UIT Attempt #3

Black-Lens Goggles:
  • Allow wearer to see in all darkness, even magical darkness.
  • Bright light viewed through the lenses is dimmed to a bearable level.
  • Goggles are non-magical.

How's that? An item perfect for a goblin, especially one who needs to move around above-ground during the day outside of places like Balefire. 8D

Ticket is on Gilworth.

This is...really too weak for a UIT. Maybe give it a lot more oomph? Also, you NEED to write it out in a normal item description, like Seele mentioned in your other UIT thread. We would also like to know if you are abandoning that attempt.

Posted in that. And sorry; I never know how powerful to make an item without making it too powerful. D8
How about this:

Blacklenses
 
This pair of goggles, as the name implies, includes black lenses that allow the wearer to see clearly through all vision-imparing effects (e.g. weather, sandstorms, smoke/dust); the goggles also allow the wearer to see clearly in all darkness, including magical darkness. The goggles dim excess ambient light for the eyes of the wearer, allowing them to move about comfortably where they would ordinarily have trouble seeing because it is too bright. These effects are non-magical; however, the goggles have an additional magical ability that must be activated. At will, the wearer can see color-coded impressions of people nearby. This effect identifies allies, enemies, and neutral people and animals at a glance by color-coding each one for the wearer's eyes; the wearer can even see these markers through solid objects! The magical ability must be activated.

This looks a lot better--there's more to work with here. I'm a little concerned about the instant spy-or-traitor-detection aspect, though. It could ruin some big reveals if you turn on your goggles early in a topic and see your new buddy Scabbers Mondego glowing red.

What do you suggest?

Well, it would be fine if you made it so that it only works on people you would recognize as allies or enemies, at least power-wise.

So, if you didn't know someone was friend or foe, you would be able to see them but they wouldn't be highlighted? Mm...still a bit godmodish, though...

I agree with Zo that this item in its current form could be god-moddy. Here's a re-write to maybe help you out.

Blacklenses
 
This pair of goggles has black lenses that allows the wearer to see clearly though vision-impairing effects (e.g. weather, smoke), darkness (including magical darkness), and filters excess light to reduce extreme brightness. These properties originate in the material of the lenses and are non-magical.

The wearer can also activate a magical ability that allows them to label any individuals within sight. This manifests as an outline that can be color-coded at the wearer's will (for example, they can choose to make enemies have a red outline and allies a blue outline). The colors assigned must be decided by the wearer and is based on their own opinions of the individual. Once marked, the Blacklenses can detect this individual through solid object so long as they remain within fifty feet. Abilities that cancel or obscure magical detection methods will cancel this ability, but it can be re-activated upon seeing them again.

This has the effects you want without godmodding. Does that work for you?

Ooh, that might work.

So is this a go, then? 8D
