Ability/skill learning suggestion
Posted: Sat Nov 27, 2021 3:17 pm
So I've had this idea for a couple months now, and I even touched upon it in a recent thread so I decided to put in a proper suggestion for it.
But it is the ability to unlock skills through journal posts.
What I mean by this, is you still need to have a class on something that is unlocked in the template (push, pull, jump) and if you don't have the XP to unlock it from the get-go, you have the option to do journal posts to work towards it.
these journal posts would have to be detailed, showing off challenges your character encountered and overcame within their practicing it. Once posted, they can ask a Knight+ to review it and if it's found acceptable, they can be granted the XP to unlock a skill.
This could be applied to skill advancements as well, with further restrictions (like X amount of time needs to pass before you can officially apply to advance a skill).
We're always telling people not to worry about XP, and to write more journal posts. This might be a decent way to help with those who feel like they might be stagnating, people who don't have as much time to log in as much as other people, and give them a way to keep up with those that are able to be around often.
Some restrictions to prevent abuse could be basic/core skills could require 1 journal post, more advanced ones could require 2, or more. Time needed between journal posts.
