Further to my point then. Are all animancers now exempt from the consequence of death?It is only because of animancy.

I entirely agree that it shows there’s things being worked on and that’s good, and I’m not against trying new things but at the moment I just think the consequence is way too weak in the first place and doesn’t justify being able to escape it with animancy or other means. Specifically, being able to get out of the memory loss entirely when it’s already frankly way too easy to regain the lost memory anyway- Rolling every day against a DC of 10. And that’s not considering that they could choose an entirely meaningless memory as well. When you let people get out of it entirely with animancy it ends up just feeling like, “Okay, why have it at all then?”I think that trying something new is positive even if we end up reverting back to the old system. It shows that things are happening behind the scenes and discussions are being had about trying to improve the functionality of the server.
I can't speak as to why Lilith avoided it, but it could have been a singular event due to her sparking or it could be a discipline-wide thing (there's only three active animacers anyways). As far as the memories go, I think it is in place for people to have some fun/interest in the process of the death. Sure, someone could just chose a simple memory that has no sustinence, but that is their choice and you have to understand that some people will just blow it off (even if you or I wouldn't.) People still lose their memory from before their death (I think like 24 hours or something like that?) and that cannot be recovered, so if they were murdered they're not going to know how/why/who killed them unless it was public, they had reason to believe it was someone, etc.I entirely agree that it shows there’s things being worked on and that’s good, and I’m not against trying new things but at the moment I just think the consequence is way too weak in the first place and doesn’t justify being able to escape it with animancy or other means.

Then you cannot hold a fork before you hit the DC.What if you die and lose the memory of learning to hold a fork
As mentioned to Jstar, I find the reviews and critique helpful. There are certain things set for Animancy characters in regard to revival considering they are a school of the soul. But as the temp system goes, I had to clarify with Lannis so that we still give some weight to the death in the same flow, but not take-away from already set lore for Animancy. We'll be adjusting for them on the rare occasions.Obviously I do not know what happened with Lilith exactly so forgive me if this seems instinctive or misinformed, but my immediate reaction upon seeing this is what is the point of this new system if there’s even apparently ways for characters to avoid losing a memory at all? That’s like if a character was able to not have a death counted against them for future revival rolls under the old system, and seems to only further weaken the idea that death carries any weight anymore.
I do hope this is the case. I’d still stand by that as it currently stands it’s too easy to recall the lost memory but in general as long as people do have it genuinely affect their characters somehow I wouldn’t complain.On an aside- We've had at least one death so far with a serious memory loss written and I think if the flow keeps going, there'll be less of a need to moderate it if players continue that way.

It was my roommates idea. After making so many comments about getting to choose a memory, I felt she had to do something significant. ;-;3 in queue and the memory stuff is still going well-
