Path of the Vampire forum

I just want to let people know that there won't be any nerfing of existing RP, nor will people who RP voodoo rituals, hexes, curses, wicca, or any other related forms of real life magic/mysticism/occultism have to stop or modify their writing.

For example: I write Azraeth as performing a ritual involving human sacrifice every month when he loses his vampiric abilities (Luna debilitation). He sacrifices someone to the full moon, and then he gets his powers back. He thinks the ritual works because the timing just happens to line up. I, as the writer, am just doing it for the sake of adding dimension to my writing. There's nothing wrong with that, and other people doing similar things is not a problem at all.

It's like the difference between a paladin blessing their blade and seeing an observable change/difference and a normal human praying over their weapons and feeling like it increases their accuracy or aim.

Demifae rituals (the ones normally performed on grid) where a demifae is summoned and tasked with something, are the only ones impacted by the RP only rituals. Admittedly, demifae rituals are the only ones which have any noticeable impact in Path's canon, but that doesn't mean characters can't perform other types of magic and believe it works. Especially if they have powers (RP or otherwise) which coincide with their spells or rituals.

I hope that makes sense?

No it dosnt … that was the point I was trying to make … it makes a whole set of rules that where people can nit pick a post apart tell you that you cannot do that then there is just more tension and crap going on.

It makes a whole lot of confusion. How it was first stated and how you just explained it are different very much so .

if you want to take that as a complaint its not really its just a statement.

Yeah, I agree that David or I probably didn't explain it very well at various points in the thread - which I am totally fine with owning and I do apologize for that.

I'm just trying to clarify the intention behind this thread and the RP only rituals. The idea was to give people more demifae rituals to use without having a massive explosion of semi-formed demifae rituals. We were just looking to provide more information and flavor, more rituals, and more structure. The idea was not at all to restrict people to the point where they can't write their characters the way they always have. That's all I've been trying to say - clarifying that intent.
