I've been brainstorming some ideas, but nothing too solid yet. But I can always use them in more than one universe! I've had an interest in D&D for a while, though I haven't had time to look into it at all.
But thanks for bringing this to my attention! Having people try to deal with Mind's Eyes sounds like a real fun time, haha.

Thanks dude! I'll definitely have to check that out when I've got time! Didn't expect there to be so much information, haha.
And same! Regardless of what I decide to do with them, I'll probably end up updating their species sheet and leave them as an open concept for people to use however they want. Seems only appropriate to keep them accessible like that. :3

yea, from what I've hurd it's a big wall to entry to lurn the rules, but a lot of fun once you do (granted I haven't actually played a game yet, but yea)
something I'd recommend is loading the basic rules into a E-reader and then reading a bit each night before going to bed... exipt the formatting has a bad habbit of getting hela screwed up with some E-readers (ie my'ne) so I had to take out the pysacol rule books from the library and read them that way (cos the basic rules is just a consolidation of the most important rules needed for play from the payed DM's Gide and Players Handbook (I don't think it contains much from the Monster Manual) )
...the video series I linked to should help if that sounds a bit overwhelming thoth

Knowing me, I'd probably spend all my time brainstorming ideas rather than playing the actual game, haha. But yah! I'll definitely have to chip my way through all this information one way or another. I have a friend that's really into it, so if I decide that I wanna pursue this game, I'm sure he'd be happy to give me some tips!
But thanks again for the heads up! You've definitely helped jumpstart my deep dive into D&D. ò7ó)9

coming up with ideas is never a bad thing as long as you keep things in check, for example if your building a world only figure out the basics and were people are likely going to go at the beginning, and then branch out from there as a play, making just a caricter? figure out the basics and then flesh them out as you play (after all, no one needs to know of your caricter's X-girlfriend's half sister who works for a demon that you met 1se half way across the continent, until they become plot relevant or are your caricter's main driving goal )
...at least that's what some videos I've watched online say. But it seems like good advice [and the guy's videos are funny [case and point: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVuQ8N… ]
chiping at it bit by bit seems like a good idea, it did take me 5 mouths to get familiar with the basic rules myself... Hahahahahaha
your welcome, good luck

Yah, for sure! Finding a balance between simple and engaging is a skill in of itself. Hopefully I'll be half decent at it. xD
But yah, I'll keep all that advice in mind! It might take me 5 months as well given my schedule, lmao. But hey, as long as I learn it eventually, how long doesn't matter. >8D

Also question! What would happen if a mind's eye encounters something like a god, demigod jashin ( meaning "evil god" . ) or anything related to that? Would it be no different from regular subjects or a very different reaction?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
VazlaKat In reply to drn1234 [2018-01-10 00:24:09 +0000 UTC]
I'd imagine that they'd be super intrigued, but mind's eyes are mortals, so if they try, it might be a bit overwhelming? Especially if the god has any kind of omnipotence, as mortals aren't really designed to handle such things. It could result either in a, "this is beyond beautiful/ugly," or maybe even spark a rare sense of humbleness like, "I am not worthy of seeing this." It may even result in a rare instance of them leaving the god alone once they realize what it is, or they may go full-obsessive. Either way, encounters like that are probably bound to be more extreme than regular ones! O:
And thank you for the question! I love answering stuff like this, it's always fun! If you have any more, feel free to ask anytime! cx

That was all interesting! Looks like my mind eye's version of my sona is a extreme encounter with a jashin!
And your welcome again! I got a few more questions. How do they kill? Is it possible for them to have hybrids with other species? ( like beholders for example. ) do they have other powers?

VazlaKat In reply to drn1234 [2018-01-10 03:22:02 +0000 UTC]
Hell yah, that's the most fun kind of encounter! haha >8D
And they probably just use good ol' fashioned brute force with their teeth and claws. But if they have tools at their disposal, or even a sharp rock to throw, I don't see why they wouldn't use those as well! It probably just all comes down to how angry, sadistic, vindictive, or petty the mind's eye is! And also whether the thing they're trying to kill is trapped, escaping, or fighting back will play a role in how they choose to kill as well! o:
Edit: OH WAIT I FORGOT TO ANSWER THE OTHER PARTS OF THE QUESTION ASLKJHAF SORRY
But yes! I don't see why not! I'd imagine it'd be very rare for a mind's eye to pair with another species and create a hybrid offspring, but I wouldn't say it's impossible!
As for powers, I think that depends on their affinities! I wouldn't put it past a poison affinity mind's eye to have an ability to like, "poison" the minds of those it deems unworthy. I kinda left the whole powers thing open because I honestly don't know what limits they should have! But the powers maybe should have something related to the mind? That's not really necessary, cause for example, I have zero idea what kind of mind-related powers a sound affinity mind's eye would have. So basically, mind powers are prefered, but not necessary, so go wild! 8D

Yes! XD
That seems very interesting! I wouldn't want to be killed by a mind's eye.
I bet a beholder mind's eye hybrid would be overpowered as well!
Maybe telekinesis,telepathy, pyrokinesis, cryokinesis,umbrakinesis,empathy, possesion, mental or emotion manipulation, teleportation, ext? Because those abilities are connected to the mind. I don't know if shapeshifting would count though, but i had wondered if they could shapeshift from their mind or memory.

VazlaKat In reply to drn1234 [2018-01-11 02:16:43 +0000 UTC]
Yah, a hybrid like that would be intense! A creature that treasures beauty both inside and out, I don't think there'd be anyone in existence that could meet their strict expectations. o_o;;
Yah, I can totally see mind's eyes with those powers! Although shapeshifting I think might be plausible if it's all an illusion? Like, playing with how the target's mind interprets them? Or even the environment around them?
Although that's getting into scary overpowered abilities territory, so maybe stuff like that would be limited to especially powerful mind's eyes? x9
Though, I think with Floraverse, it's kinda implied that anyone can learn any kind of magic if they study hard enough. Affinities just make it easier for individuals to learn certain stuff. So maybe while judging the beauty of someone's mind, a mind's eye may stumble upon memories, or sense the kind of temperment/dedication it takes to learn something complex like shapeshifting (assuming the target learned the magic, and wasn't born with it), and learn from that? There's a lot of potential for cool stuff when it comes to having the ability to read minds. +o+

drn1234 In reply to VazlaKat [2018-01-11 20:21:54 +0000 UTC]
Yeah! A mind's eye beholder hybrid would probably be terrifying, because of that! I think a mind's eye rock candy hybrid would be very pretty looking.
Okay! The illusion thing would make perfect sense! Since i'm thinking about giving deville pyrokinesis and illusion powers. And fancy mind's eye cryokinesis! That's a good idea to limit the powers. i was thinking about a few reasons why mind's eyes powers should limited, like the possibilities of getting a out of control form if gained too much power ( like the mega pokemon. ) , ( which was a thing i was thinking about drawing! ) going mad, or just simply being overpowered like you said!
Pretty much potential central for that stuff! I love giving abilities or powers ideas for species! XD

For sure! I'm imagining so many pretty designs, omg. +o+
That's a lot of cool powers! I can imagine Deville using them all in creative ways, haha.
Yah, those would all work as limitations! One thing mind's eyes cherish is good mental wellbeing, so if a powerful ability is a detriment to that, then I can see it being used sparsely, or only by very few mind's eyes. Just gotta remember to give every OP power a downside, otherwise things may get way out of hand, haha. xD
Hell yah, same here! 90% of the time I spend on Floraverse is thinking up of cool stuff for my OCs, species, and story. The other 9% is spent following the actual comic, and the final 1% is spent actually making my own content. LOL x'D;;

Double yep! Since giving powers a flaw or downside is pretty much character development in my opinion. Also tried to draw what those op forms look like! sta.sh/0u3xvm6n79l also game the other two, that are not deville and ogura names!

Thanks! I tried to give anisopt an icy regal look to him, while Ogura's form is based on an actual form he has, in the series he is from! Deville's form is supposed to look like a cobra but, has fire sacs on her face and neck!
Also how tall can a mind's eye get?

Then Deville will be the rare case of being short, since she is 4'11 in height! The rest would be a normal height. XD

XD don't pity deville other mind's eyes! She doesn't like being pitied on!.
I can see some mind's eyes using illusion powers to change, their look around the surrounding area like an octopus or cuttlefish!
What would happen if somebody was poking a mind's eye in the face? What would happen if somebody was interested in a mind's eye the same way eye's are interested in imperfection?

"Sounds like it's worth the risk!" xD
Yah, I don't see why not! They could use it to hide from their targets while they study their minds and stuff. +o+
Though, on a side note, the thing with illusions is that there needs to be a third party to see them. It's probably also necessary for the mind's eye to know of said third party's existence in order to fool the target's mind into seeing the illusions, otherwise the mind's eye would just look normal to any stealthy observer. Then there's the fact that if the mind's eye changes their appearance via illusion after the observer has seen them, it'd be tougher to fool 'em since they've already seen the "true" form. Camouflage illusions might still work if the target is panicking enough, but I think that's best left up to creative freedom/artist's discretion. : P
As for the poking thing, Imma quote a thing I wrote in the description, "Punching their "eye" will temporarily disorient them, however, be sure you have a clear escape route as such actions will drive these creatures to murder."
So basically, poking them in the face is their "instant murder" button, lmao. How hard you poke could mean the difference between "mild murder" and "extreme murder." xD
And for the last bit, I think that would just result in a very interesting story! It really depends on the characters involved, but I can totally imagine a scientist and a mind's eye existing in a mutual-study existence or something, haha. Though, I should note that mind's eyes aren't like, omnipotent, so if someone was stealthy enough, they could probably get away with their mind's eye obsession without detection! I hope that answers your question, haha. x'D

Actually, after thinking about it, I may retract my face-poking lore a bit. Poking the "eye" results in a murder spree, but poking the face/area around it just results in annoyance. Though, I guess if the mind's eye in question is super intolerant to poking, they may still attack, haha. x9
And no problems! I'm happy to help! 8D

VazlaKat In reply to DerpyGardener [2016-05-05 23:54:36 +0000 UTC]
hmm, That's a good question! I think they'd lean towards capture, since it'd be easier to control their subject that way, but I can see them stalking or studying from the sidelines as well! I guess it really depends on how much risk there is for the victim to escape and whatnot. Like, if the person was in a huge-ass maze, the mind's eye might just follow them around and secretly sabotogue their escape efforts and stuff. : D

I don't know, it seen that the beholder have a higher chance of killing the Mind Eye, since the Mind Eye don't really want to kill the Beholder, but the Beholder may get way to obsessed with the beauty of the Mind Eye that well...it will find a way to kill him/her/it. Unless the Mind Eye do notice that and decide to kill the Beholder first, but again, the Mind Eye will not be able to study him/her/it.
