Exploring the Ascension
In our last post, Ashahell suggested a nice little twist on the ascension question – ascension through progeny. We think it’s a pretty cool concept – gives a bit more of a “logical” feel to the whole ascension thing (which, let’s face it, has never made much sense). So every character will have its own skillset to expand and work on, and starting from a certain age (read: rank) they will be able to find a mate and have a baby, which will be the “ascended” character. The offspring will have a starting skillset based in some manner on its parents’ skillsets (though, since we haven’t even brought up the topic of traits, skills and skillsets, that’s not saying much…).
