Ouch!  *hugs tight*  That's horrible Gadrai.  Take your time and get your life in order and spend some quality time with your father, okay?  Elliquiy isn't going anywhere.<br/><br/><div align="center">*  *  *</div><br/>Thank you, I appreciate that.  *hugs*  It may well be that I missed some people responding to me.  (It's also entirely likely that unhealthy neurochemistry is blowing everything out of proportion.  ^_^;;)<br/><br/>I just spent the last hour and a half chasing down my medicine only to find out that the pharmacy won't have it 'til Saturday. *sighs* I'll call some other pharmacies.<br/><br/><div align="center">*  *  *</div><br/>I have very little experience with freeform groups compared to my vast experience with system-based RPs.  I'm sure some of my questions are so amateur to experienced freeform players that they come across as inane just because you've been doing this so long that it's been internalized.  I help new system players a lot, and I frequently have a moment where I pull up short and try and figure out how what was just questioned could possibly not make sense.  Sometimes I have to think about it for several minutes to realize that it really is a completely logical question, I've just known the answer for thirty years, so I don't think about it anymore. :)<br/><br/>That's the biggest confusion on my learning curve here.  I'm expecting Hairy to have an idea of what's "too powerful" and what isn't, and for that vision to include breadth of ability as well as force.<br/><br/>Mandy is a character I've had for quite some time.  When I encounter a new system or setting, I like to see if she can exist within that context, and how it affects her.  That's why I have ideas about what Mandy is like when she can heal and what Mandy is like when she can't.<br/><br/>(Mandy is someone who's primary ability is fire while her secondary ability is healing.  Because of that, when I put her into a context where she can't have both, she has fire.  However as a person she values healing more than she values fire.)<br/><br/><div align="center">*  *  *</div><br/>I was sure one other person had mentioned the telepathic ability, but I'll take your word for it.  Thank you.<br/><br/><div align="center">*  *  *</div><br/>I confess I had forgotten about the dress.  To clarify, though, the dress is intended as an enchanted item that always provides its protection.  I don't need "a round" of warning to turn it on.  :)
