Bump! This now kinda does something! All intended effects are still placebo-ish as usual, but this does help with the metal.

true, though admittedly this is more of a belief thing, it's still quite nice to have something that nobody can really explain, or deny with evidence, so you simply have believers and non-believers.This still seems cool to me, I just love talking about things that are pushed towards a more fantasy setting than just your usual discussion of our normal medieval setting.
Which makes it even MORE cool!true, though admittedly this is more of a belief thing, it's still quite nice to have something that nobody can really explain, or deny with evidence, so you simply have believers and non-believers.
don't forgetNotes to self:
-Kill a bear
-Kill some birds of paradise (birds, not flowers)
-Invent cold fire
-Kill some hares
-Convince RexJen into letting me live in Minovia
-Kill some long-tailed tits
-Write a book on killing animals
-Get Roy to forge me a halberd with the bones of those animals
-Question what I'm doing with my life
-Go to the next act of the campaign
It works as flux, purifying it.Gotta ask, how does the adding bone to metal make the metal better?
I'm not going to pretend to understand forging, but I think a big misunderstanding here is that people are under the impression that he's just imbedding a femur into a sword and calling it good.Placebo /ish/?
If I believe hard enough, my sword can release fire like a bettering sword wouldDoes it really matter though. It's a placebo effect which I think is just really awesome. You don't see that line of reasoning often in fantasy rp.
Not entirely, just a semi enclosed forge and a fair amount of bones, say the equivalent of 2-3 tibia, in multiples depending on the weapon size, in order to achieve max effect. Though tbf, I'm more worried about how Roy will look when having to dig up corpses for clients' orders XDYou'd need a complicated setup for this to have any actual effect on the material. That and a lot of bones.
That is delusional hallucinations not a placebo effect.If I believe hard enough, my sword can release fire like a bettering sword would
Don't tell them otherwise the Placebo-Effect won't workI'm bracing for the player who doesn't realize it's a placebo and then goes about RPing as if they have the strength of a bear. That's what makes me scared of this, because I have learned it is silly to assume that all new players have common sense. :')
Just make you sure stress to them OOCly that it doesn't actually have said qualities of bear and monkey, etc.
I don't really see how it's harmful. It's a spiritual thing that lets us have a bit more fun with the tools and weapons our characters come to know and love. It lets us personalize them further.Or just use chalk.
It doesn't actually have a positive effect if you're doing something deleterious compared to the /normal method/.
Yeah, perhaps omit mentioning the whole brain-muscle effects relation thing. You'd do well enough with just the spiritual side.I'm bracing for the player who doesn't realize it's a placebo and then goes about RPing as if they have the strength of a bear.
