Mischief Domain
« on: February 17, 2012, 04:06:10 PM »
This is a new domain that will be used for Compture and Tommimao.

It needs to be designed.  Thoughts?

How is this different than "trickery'?

The idea was Whitesword's and he had a good explanation for it.  Hopefully he will post and explain.

As I don't have the spell lists in front of me my comments at this point are meta game theory not mechanics. Trickery is deceit usually with the goal of taking something or manipulating another to one's own ends. Mischief is havoc sometimes with a goal but often just for its own sake.

Semantics. I don't think there' would be a big functional difference between "trickery" and mischief.

I think Mischief could replace Chaos, and the Law domain would change to more of the Law of the land as opposed to alignment.  However, if it wouldn't replace Chaos then I agree with Hero and would say it isn't that much different then trickery

We will have both Trickery and Mischief.  One will be the malevolent and the other won't be.  The question is, what name fits which one better?

Computer gets both.

Corahakar, Wandle, and Dresta get the malevolent one.

Tommimao gets the other.

Thoughts?

Mischief is benign troublemaking.

For our purposes here I agree. I would say its just troublemaking but that really is just semantics.

So Trickery will be the domain with bad intentions.

Alternate Domain names:
Trickery -> Chicanery, Duplicity, Trechery
Mischief -> Calamity, Licentious, Jape

I like the alternate names for the Trickery domain.

My vote would be for Treachery.

Here are the spells so far:

1 - ??
2 - ??
3 - Deceptive Facade (CM)
4 - ??
5 - Energy Transference (Magic of Rokugan)
6 - Compture's Unwanted Reincarnation
7 - ??
8 - Hands of the Tides (Rokugan) (this allows the caster to switch the locations of targets in an area)
9 - Wheel of Fortune (Magic of Rokugan) (this allows caster to switch around a target's ability scores)

Thoughts?  Ideas?

I found a better 5th for this one: Bewildering Mischance.  Subject must roll twice for saves attack and damage an take the worse of the two.  I think its in Complete Champion

I like that for 5th.

If we make this the bad luck domain as well, we can throw in Unluck and Curse of Ill Fortune.
