Interesting question... I tend to think of Rites as being a subconscious function of the Superior's nature, and therefore would say no. On the other hand, I'd also say that a Superior would be likely to notice any action that had a *strong* impact on his Word (regardless of who did it), and might investigate and reward the doer. But one shouldn't count on this. - ---Walter ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 14 Oct 1999 14:04:34 -0400 From: Walter Milliken Subject: Re: IN> Another slew of questions At 13:33 -0400 10/14/99, EDG wrote: >At 12:54 PM 10/14/99 -0400, you wrote: > >> > I would probably require the skill rolls to be related to making something >> > of signifcance (or maybe destroying something to make way for something >> > better, since Eli also has that aspect).

I'd say it would have to be important to the creator to do it *right*. So, yes, someone making a table *could* get Essence from this Rite, if he were doing his best to make a *really good* table, one which would count as a "masterwork", or close to that.

The key line in the song is "but if they knew, if they knew you at all, then [one by one?] angels, angels would fall". A mortal is born and slowly, as is the usual custom with humans, grows up. When this mortal reaches full growth and maturity, his/her soul calls out to Celestials of all Bands and Choirs, with a tone/song of such beauty, that Celestials are deserting their posts and sneaking in trips to earth, with or without a vessel, to get close to this mortal and view them for themselves.

Yes your vampire mage garou cyberpunk mage calabite seraph may be impressive, but I can rewrite reality on my whim, without any possible effects on me.

Baal kills you 3. Baal kills you 4. Baal kills you 5. Baal kills you 6. Baal laughs at you. Then he kills you. He looked at the table then decided that he might not after all.

One slide that's _trying_ to keep on topic, I'll cast a beady eye on or hit someone in private email, but when someone is clearly going to walk on that forbidden path... Well, then it's time to put on the Cleats of Stomping. (The seeds-from-music (SO LONG AS THE SEED IS INCLUDED) is much more useful, since a seed is a seed and can be understood even if you've never heard the song in question.) - --emccoy@nh.ultranet.com // arcangel@io.com In Nomine Line Editor GURPS, Roleplayers, In Nomine stuff; Art: http://www.io.com/~arcangel/ ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 15 Oct 1999 12:05:32 -0400 From: Elizabeth McCoy Subject: Re: IN> Cherub of War choir attunement At 5:30 AM -0500 10/15/99, Ben Chism wrote: >Alright....The Cherub of War attunement tells the angel if someone he is >attuned to will die in the next 24hrs.

I'd probably let it do so (at least unless I discovered that there was some Utterly Munchkin think that could be done with it). Remember that they know if it will die/be destroyed _by natural causes_. Demons with explosives don't count... - --emccoy@nh.ultranet.com // arcangel@io.com In Nomine Line Editor GURPS, Roleplayers, In Nomine stuff; Art: http://www.io.com/~arcangel/ ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 15 Oct 1999 17:02:24 +0100 From: Sam Kington Subject: Re: IN> [Noise] some questions on things celestial [FLUFF?] Elizabeth McCoy wrote: > I don't know the name of the song, but it's got the line: > > "I've been searching for the daughter of the devil himself > I've been searching for an angel in white > I've been waiting for a woman who's a little of both > I can feel her but she's nowhere in sight" [snip] "One of these nights", by the Eagles.

This sounds like a very cool adventure; if you ever resurrect it, I for one would like to put in advance dibs on wanting a copy.
