Do i need a pathway to Survival or can I take it given my skill set?
You can take it given the people around you from which you can learn it
Survival 0 > 2
2 xp remaining
Agility 2 > 3
Spirit Lock 1 > 3
Unsheltered 1 > 2
Tree Runner 0 > 2 : given I already have parkour in the city (City Runner), and asking Talas for help, I’d like to learn nature parkour?
2 XP Remaining
Acute Hearing 1 > 2
Spirit Lock: Honey Mammoth: TBD, 0 ranks
Inspired Teaching Tactics: a skill to allow others to reroll nat ones, Ranks/day, it must be a skill I've SEEN SUCCEED, after they fail i roll to beat their sanity, if I succeed they get to reroll as I use my intuition to tell they are about to do some part of that skill drastically wrong and I "teach" them through it. This comes from his recent learning that he is a "great teacher" because he teaches people Haft Sang and Fox & Geese and they immediately beat him so he must be a good teacher?
Survival 2 > 3
Tree Runner 2 > 3
4 XP Remaining

- far too broad. as presented, it would have to be a skill that you also have
When im in the forms I shapeshift into im keeping my stats and atts right, or am should I be researching all these creatures stats/atts and switching to theirs when I'm in their form? I've been keeping Zahirs numbers when I shift so far.
The answer to the previous question also affects whether i will make this a skill: when i turn into the Honey Mammoth can I have a skill that increases my strength by ranks but only in that form?
Runners Dexterity: skill that increases Agility for Agility Checks for my Parkour skills (tree runner, city runner) only, +Agi/Ranks?
When im in the forms I shapeshift into im keeping my stats and atts right
- Right
mammoth fine
RD - passive stacking bonus needs to be capped by an Attribute
RD: no matter how fast my body is I cant outwork my mind, capped by Guile, 0 > 2
Spirit Walking 3 > 4
Spirit Lock 3 > 4
Spirit Lock: Honey Mammoth: +Strength/Ranks while in Honey Mammoth form, 0 > 1
Unseen Expertise: skill that adds dmg/ranks to my physical attacks if the enemy cant see me due to me using hide/move silent or when I cause a successful Distraction with my Distraction skill?
Unseen Expertise 0 > 1
Unseen Expertise 1 > 2
Hide 1 > 2
2 xp remaining
Spirit Walking: Communication: when I spirit walk (shift) into a form, I am able to communicate in that forms natural style/language/way at ranks in this skill. Once out of that form I cannot communicate like that until back in that form. Capped by Spirit Walking. ?
Spirit Walking: Communication 0 > 3
"Hope mosquitoes can 'talk'."
Improved Feint is a DnD feat you might not be aware of but might be consistent with Zahir. This allows you to use your Distraction skill as a move action to set up your sneak attack (or w/e you flavored it). In this system, ranks of Feint would cap ranks of Distraction when doing the move action version.
Mxya Physiology: regen skill, ranks per day, given that I am made of a mote malleable material than most i can regen my body, using Aster as a base for healing skills to unlock if okay?
Time is a Figment: mental regen skill, hes spent so much time by himself and doing basically nothing that he has learned to master his mind along with Asters (and possibly Vals) teaching in healing, ranks per day?
Zoned Out: again, so much time alone with his mind, hes explored it in so many ways, mental DR skill, 1dRanks, as he keeps part of his mind away from the reaches of others?
The improved recovery skills are mechanically fine, but the ambiguous flavor could be misleading. Updated lingo below:
Myxa Physiology: self-repair skill, recovers ranks per day while resting, given that I am made of a mote malleable material than most i can fix my body
Time is a Figment: mental repair skill, hes spent so much time by himself and doing basically nothing that he recovers mental damage faster 1dRanks per Hour of rest/meditation
Zoned Out: again, so much time alone with his mind, hes explored it in so many ways, mental DR skill, 1dRanks, as he keeps part of his mind away from the reaches of others?
- This skill is basically unlocking latent psionics. Which is fine, esp with your Intuition, but you will need to accomplish this in game before you can start putting xp into it.
Ooo time is a figment is 1dranks/hour! That's dope!
Myxa Physiology 0 > 1
Time is a Figment 0 > 1
Zoned Out 0 > 0 for now
Improved Feint 0 > 1
Also this is what we were discussing the other day
"Sword and Dagger Precision: -1dRanks/hit to enemies initiative while weilding both as he cuts the right spots to slow his opponents down."
I Do have to be weilding both a sword and a dagger at the same time to do this, maybe that's why you approved it originally? I can put a cap on it if that is needed, probably Int.
Sword and Dagger Precision: -1dRanks/hit to enemies initiative while weilding both as he cuts the right spots to slow his opponents down.
- this attack would also require an opposition check for the debuff to land. likely your Agi+this skill V opp's Agi or Con
The implication being that this is its own attack. Either you are doing a dmg attack or an init debuff attack. Combining attacks into 1 usually requires a couple skill trees and a stance as well.
That said, if you do have two weapon fighting (or similar Stance), i have no problem with you using one hand for a dmg attack and the other hand for an init debuff attack.
Knowledge: Outpost (named later): basically gaining the knowledge of this place and chronicling it as we create it, including the land its on 0 > 1
I want to turn myself into a tree. Ill find the nearest one and stand next to it and turn into one. Then I want to communicate with it:
"What's up, bud? How's tree life?"
Trees are noticeably more consistent in convo than hoomans and such. They mostly just sing, whatever note they are singing, continually and unwaveringly.
"Ooooo oooooooooo oooo oooo oo ooooooooo ooo" I match the note as best i can and join in. Ill do this for an hour, then "That was cathartic! Same time tomorrow boys?! (Knowing no response is coming, but pausing for dramatic effect before) Alright, see you then!"
Spiritually Gifted: skill that enables me to temporarily (as long as im in that form) use a skill chosen upon transforming that is from the forms list of skills, up to my ranks in this skill, Intuition + skill + d20 to "search" the spirit for its skills, then the mechanics of their skill stay the same for how I would use it during that transformation?
to be clear, this doesn't open up a list of the forms skills. you can intuit natural&psionic skills, or mimic what you've observed
Yeah, I was hoping the quotes around search would portray that hes not looking at any list, but intuitively looking at the forms natural abilities/psionics/viewed skills.
