Welcome, Booker!

I have a few questions about your additional features requests to help convert Kinship canon to Shaman canon.


Gretchen’s Necklace
On Shaman, the abilities granted in this necklace would be broken down into:
  • Teleportation: the ability to disappear and appear somewhere else instantly.
  • Reverse Teleportation: the ability to make someone else in the nearby vicinity disappear and appear somewhere else instantly.

    Questions regarding this:
  • I would prefer for these to be powers that Gretchen has rather than an item, as that would make them harder to transfer and negates me needing to create a new collectible. Gretchen could still have a necklace for aesthetic purposes and can still activate her magic through headbutting, but the magic would be in her rather than in her necklace. Would that work OK?
  • With these abilities, does Gretchen need to be able to control where she sends people, or can the destination be uncontrollable?
  • Does she also need to be able to teleport herself (Teleportation) as well or does she only need to be able to teleport others (Reverse Teleportation)? You only discussed Reverse Teleportation in your reasoning.


    Gretchen’s Goat-Dragon Form
    On Shaman, this ability would be Shapeshifting (goat-dragon). A size change (horse-size is reasonable) and functional wings would be included within that; Fire Breath would not, and would be a separate ability.

    Questions regarding this:
  • Is Fire Breath needed for this, or is the visual transformation enough on its own?


    Familiars are currently restricted to three powers of their own (i.e. powers not shared with their fairy) on Shaman, as we aim to keep fairies the magical ones. For Gretchen to have the separate abilities of Teleportation, Reverse Teleportation, Shapeshifting (goat-dragon) and Fire Breath would be four. I think three out of four is reasonable, in line with what familiars are currently able to have. I’ve reasoned above that it sounds like the shifting form and Reverse Teleportation are the two must-haves, which gives you a choice between Teleportation and Fire Breath for the third slot.

    Shapeshifting into a dragon form is the biggie here, since that’s a big expensive power on Shaman. That will be considered if you apply for other features with other characters.
