Request: Wielding sticks as swords

There are many examples in the real world of wielding sticks of varying lengths as swords, often for practice or sparring purposes. See the singlestick and the jo stick as western and eastern examples. I would like to request a way for a character with Swords skill to wield various sticks as swords ...

The current state of the world's peoples

I find myself curious about the current state of the wider world of CLOK. The current state of things between our fellow quarantined countries has always interested me. Encounters with our neighbors from Tatlhuecan, Sirak Drauth, Lapis, and Karnath have been scant to non-existent save for those PCs ...

During my visiting of memories I discovered that three of the four picture links in this thread did not work. I was able to find the pictures on Elizamor's deviantart site, however. To ensure they remain available I have put copies of them all on my own website under a new Pictures page. https://can...

Malfant and Aranas: Corrupted Kin of Vandin

The crackpot theory I wish to present today is that Malfant and Aranas are the nether-corrupted kin of Vandin. These two beings may once have labored alongside Vandin as he is known to employ other immortal beings as scribes and watchers, such as Amato who was smitten with Kebyet's beauty and petiti...

Re: Thaelsh

At some point in the past, the passage between the Temple storage and nexus was changed to be an east-to-west direction instead of the original GO PASSAGE method. This appears to have been reverted, and I would like to request that it be re-reverted to the east-to-west version if there was not a spe...

Creature death metaprefix request

I have been adding some combat sounds to my MUD client, and one that has been troublesome is death messaging. It would be very useful to have a metaprefix display whenever a character or creature in the room dies.

Re: Weight encumbrance now affects rerolls rather than die sides

This update has left me feeling severely penalized for wearing full plate. My only containers are my pants pockets, scabbard, and a belt pouch, so I am not capable of carrying much else to contribute to weight encumbrance. I am at encumbrance 3 with parry and block at a consistent -2x. In such a sta...

Re: Sceptus Corvus lives!!1!

My time playing the game during the reign of Sceptus is perhaps my fondest. My character may feel differently. It did at the least nudge him down the path of beginning to believe in his own self-worth as he felt he was useful for something during that tumultuous time. He could have gone down a very ...

Re: Things we do!

It can indeed be discouraging to see events being discussed on chat, when such situations could in fact be an excellent reason for people to gather in-character and discuss that way. I must also say that it is frustrating to have events spoiled in chat, and then needing to do one's best to pretend o...

Chants Adjustments

I have two requests regarding chants. The first is regarding Chant: Clarity, which sees overlap with Resolve, has no secondary effect in addition to skill boosts as the others chants do, and is of little practical use to a Templar as it currently stands on its own. A requested addition would be to a...
