    Just because something is in an abstraction layer doesn't mean it is any less of a pain in the ass to work with or isn't "code". That's like saying C isn't code because it is just a means to compile assembly / machine. If their scripting / configuration / whatever the fuck you want to call it layer is a bunch of gobbledeegook, it can still be a confusing, potentially dangerous to fuck with, piece of shit. I imagine messing with something so core to the game like say, versus making some random ass scripted item like 10 people will buy, makes the barrier of entry a bit higher also.

    Naos can be kind of a dick and dumb about some design things (looking at you, attunment) but he's definitely competent on the tech side. If he says something is a bag of dicks, I tend to take his word for it.

    If, at the time, there was someone on staff who was already familiar with the system and adding to it, clearly they could just tack on some more stuff. If that person is gone, and Ixix had to learn it, that doesn't make those two things mutually exclusive. I'm sure if you tossed Ixix a suggestion today and they liked it, they could add it quick also. But i'm sure the new tones will also somehow be related to mini bosses, and you'll have to SAY things at the bosses in certain tones to make them drop their immunities so you kill it, so i dunno...maybe just don't engage ixix.

    That would be the gayest thing ever, but still wouldn't require an additional change when adding new tones or verbs, unless you wanted them to also effect said boss

    I'm confused. Am I eating a burger with sharts on the side instead of fries? Or did I shart after I ate the burger?

    Ask GM Ixix. I'm sure the answer will be:
