Just thought you all might want to know.

There was an invasion tonight in Plat where some grim used mental magic. If anybody (dhask for example) has some logs of the spells... would be cool to see them.

Wouldn't mental magic be closer to savants, if anything?

No, Monks are mental semis

Mental magic would, in fact, be much more like savants. The slated MnM circle has no spell in it for mind control...

How this will eventually lead to monks is anyone's guess... but it's cool.

Monks are mental/spiritual SQUARES.

Just an FYI. This had nothing to do with monks, minor mental or anything mental in general. They were just an invasion creature that made sense for the storyline that was going on.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but they weren't mentalists.

Monks are mental/spiritual SQUARES.

Has there been any talk about either fighters or rogues moving over to elemental/mental square status, instead of the current elemental/spiritual?

Neither warriors or rogues will be getting minor mental. Then again, empaths don't get it either!

LOL. You have NO idea. Are you kidding? Vision after Vision. Mentalist Message after mentalist message. This was but a harbinger of the huge event about to go down both in Plat and then Prime that introduces the MnM and then shortly after Monks. If you have any GM friends, better ask. Then post. Idiot.

Hahaha. Ok. Absolutely nothing about them were mentalists. Good times. As the storyline is now over.

Do you even play Plat? 99% of the VISIONS given were mentalist/mind-control based. Thug camps being overtaken/controlled by MENTALISTS wasn't mentalist in nature? Just wow. Go eat a cheeseburger.

Here are some of the messages:

Images flash rapidly past in your head. A moment from your childhood. The way the sunset hits the stone of the Keep. Your first friend. The flower girl giggling. Smoke rising from the gemcutter's. Helga screaming. Fire overtaking Shanty Town. A child, burning, begging for help.

A voice whispers in your head, over and over again, "Choosechoosechoosechoosechoosechoosechoose."

There were more, but it was all concerning the town being lit up and us dying.


The Grimswarm mind-bender vainly struggles to rise, then goes still.
The opalescent aura fades from around a Grimswarm mind-bender.
The deep blue glow leaves a Grimswarm mind-bender.
The Grimswarm mind-bender no longer bristles with energy.
The dim aura fades from around a Grimswarm mind-bender.
The light blue glow leaves a Grimswarm mind-bender.
A Grimswarm mind-bender seems to lose an aura of confidence.
The powerful look leaves a Grimswarm mind-bender.

Those were the spells they wore.

A Grimswarm mind-bender gestures mystically.
A wave of dark ethereal ripples moves outward from a Grimswarm mind-bender.

A Grimswarm mind-bender gestures at you.
A bright luminescence surrounds you.

That's what it cast.

I don't see any new spells, that's for sure. Care to tell us why we see no mentalist spells GS4 HappyTimez?

What were the messages and things you saw that seem to make you think it was all about mental magic and monks?

There were room "mood" messages that were very mentalist in nature, but this storyline has been going on for a few weeks. I'll give the run down of what happened.

Bandits had been attacking the Landing and doing "hit and runs" at the stores, making off with gems, grains and silvers. This happened for about a week and a half, with no clues why.

Then we were informed that something was tunneling and would meet them on Friday (yesterday) and that they complained of headaches. Then finally, we saw grimswarm yesterday in the catacombs. Today, they dug through into the streets and the mind-binders were then seen. They just appeared to be sooped up wizard/clerics archtypes.

We started getting messaging to put our weapons down and choose peace or fire. We fought on. The battle continued until we found an ancient mind-bender which we killed. The messaging then stopped and it was over. End of storyline.

So your saying we should take our silvers out of the bank!?!!

It most likely was a Plat-specific storyline, as they were targeting our Militia's Keep.

So disregarding anything that fat slob ponzz has to say, has anything else come out of this? Someone told me more gnomes and thugs got mind-controlled in the sewers by the "Force"
