Hi everyone!
Just a quick reminder before I write about the updates - please message me whenever you change anything about your elf/elves' CIS, even if it's just something small (well, unless it's a spell check; spell checks you don't have to message me about). This isn't because you need my approval. It's simply so I can keep all the info on the forum up to date
Now, the updates! There are three:
1) I've parted skills into "Basic" and "Special". All this means is that 8 skills are 'default' when you create a CIS. Those skills are - Climbing (you can specify what), Dancing, Fighting (armed/unarmed), Singing, Stealth (now includes Hiding, which I've removed from the skill list as its own skill), Survival & Swimming.
Why these 8? Well, they're skills that are likely to come up in-game sooner or later, so it's good to have a skill level prepared.
So please fill in those skills on your elves' CISs and tell me when you've done so I've already added the missing skills in red to everyone's CISs so it'll be quick to see what your elf doesn't have defined yet.
To read about the skills, go here. To see how your elf compares to the rest of the tribe, go here.
2) "Soul Name known by:" should be added under "Soul Name", so you remember who knows and doesn't know your elf's soul name, other than they themselves.
3) "Knowledge:" will be added after "Jewelry". This section will list what your elf has encountered or heard about regarding important ElfQuest things such as trolls, preservers, other elf tribes and humans.
This is to help everyone remember what their different elves know and don't know about. The "leves" will be:
- Unknown (never heard of this)
- Legend (only heard of in myths)
- Heard of (spoken to someone who's seen/encountered this)
- Seen
- Encountered (not only seen but been close enough to touch/talk with)
I'll make an example of how to fill this out with my own elves' CISs later, just know this is coming as an addition to the CISs
