What us trackers need.

[HR-Trevor]

I'm not sure why you're offended or feel I was "attacking you for giving ideas". I thought feedback would be helpful. I could have said "Thanks for the ideas." and you never hear anything back on them except the few that later come into play. I wasn't trying to be patronizing, sarcastic, or otherwise make you feel like your ideas are unwelcome. To the contrary, I appreciate these sorts of ideas and I was pleased to read them.

*Mumbles, "I was only upset (and then not really that much) by the comment about the binoculars actually. The other comments were fine and dandy...not a problem at all. And I did apologize for assuming the comment was patronizing if it wasn't meant that way. Tis just how it had come across to me. I can handle criticism pretty darn well as long as it isn't patronizing in its delivery...how else can you learn to improve if you don't get feedback, whether good or bad."

I didn't mean to be patronizing by any means. It didn't even occur to me that you might not be familiar with how binoculars (or the equivalent cyber-eye upgrade) works.

I gotta say... fairies don't per se exist in hael, and that fairy is OOC and I wouldn't have built it. It's just for fun tho, and this is a test phase and all. There are some fairy like creatures though, by native names and without typical earth mythology attached.

Being able to commune with fae-like creatures would mean that Trackers have an inherent attachment to the supernatural. Maybe if certain spells and psionic abilities could be modified slightly depending on the caster/user's profession (ie. unique messaging) -- and if the summoning spells were not Psi-only -- but, to me, Trackers are not by nature intune with the flows of <insert mystical wavelengths that allow for magic and psionics>.

I'm probably wrong, though.

This is kind of what I touched on before. If a Tracker has a Tracker only ability that requires training in Psionics, or Occult, or Spell Casting/Research.. ok, I'm cool with that.

But Trackers don't have a natural mystic ability to do things magical or gifts with mental arts. Even communing with animals would require that sort of power. Their only natural gift is understanding and empathizing with these things. But psychological empathy should not be mistaken for a magical empathy.

Off topic here, but since ya'll mentioned the Fairy, thought I'd share a friend's site with you, due to certain coincidental similarities:

<grins> I don't think it's a coincidence. Look at what the fairy (our fairy) is holding. The drink itself is referred to as "the green fairy" in case you did not know that already. But Beau will always be my favorite green fairy.

Okies, well I was trying to toss an idea out. I coulda sworn that Haelrahv is a sci-fi FANTASY type of place. My idea about the brownies/fae-folk was that since this is also a fantasy like type of world, why not have some lil folks. And since Trackers are more inclined outside of civilization and more emphatic to the land and animals, the lil folks would be see Trackers more trustworthy and befriending as a type of companion. When I mentioned about Psionics and their spirit guides and stuff, I meant that some boost their skills and I thought it would be kewl to have lil folks boosting a room for everyone in the room. But to have some type of inherent link to them as the psionics do to their spirits is not wat i was trying to get at. But if you wanna go that way, then maybe with a some skills in occult, animal lore or watever, Trackers could call upon or beseech the spirit of an animal to take on their abilities temporarily to maybe boost their swimming, fighting, climbing, foraging, or what have you. If ya think i'm crazy with these ideas or going in a different direction from what a Tracker can do then please explain to me wat exactly is a Tracker and what can a Tracker do and can't do. So that I can work with that.

I like this idea of animal beseeching. It reminds me of indians and their totems. I see that as more spiritual (occult?) and animal lore more than anything else. It's so Trackerish (not a word, yes I know) and what I imagined Trackers to be like.

Inaira: It is a neat concept, isn't it?

I imagine trackers as Crocodile Dundee type people.

Steve Irwin is way cooler than Crocodile Dundee. I always figured Trackers were basically Rangers... except on Hael.
