SKILL EQUIVALENCES.

SKILL EQUIVALENCES




If your character came into the game with previous skills from canon or another game, they may have equivalents among the in-game skills. If you'd like to use those skills as if they had the same mechanisms as game-granted skills, you may list the game skills applicable, along with a brief explanation of why or how your character has that particular skill - for example, characters with police or private investigator training could claim the Crime Scene Investigation skill, based on their previous training. If the skill was acquired in a previous game rather than canon, we may ask for a thread proof of the character gaining that skill.

Skill equivalences can be taught to other Travelers, and only apply to Jaunt skills - Liminal and Psychic equivalences are assigned at app time, as we cap those powers in-game. It is only necessary to claim a skill equivalence if your character has an interest in using or teaching it according to in-game mechanics, or if it satisfies a prerequisite for another skill. For more on skill equivalences, see here.



The skills Travelers have already learned are listed here for now; we're working on a better layout for them.

Character Name: Lea
Series: Kingdom Hearts
Skill Equivalencies Requested (+ reasoning):
Portal Creation (Stationary) - Power Cap/Equivalency for Corridors of Darkness as discussed in email

Teleportation I - Power Cap/Equivalency for Corridors of Darkness as discussed in email

Elementalism: Fire - Canon equivalency for his elemental magic preferences

Superlative Stealth - Canon equivalency: Spent twelve years being a super secret assassin for the Darkness Mafia

Cantrips I - Kind of hand in hand with Elementalism, Lea can use all the basic spells available in the KH universe, and could thus logically teach someone else how to use them. Fire is his specialty, so he just never really bothered leveling up the rest of them.

Portal Creation, Teleportation, and Stealth added. For the magic, did you discuss that with a mods too? Because by getting a skill equivalency, his magic would then work exactly as cantrips and elementalism does. Generally speaking, for canon magic, there's no need for a skill equivalency unless it does something a liminal or telepathic skill does - you just keep your magic as is.

(All this said, I'm not canon-familiar, so idk how similar his magic is to the skills mentioned, or how much any of what I said re: liminal and telepathic skills applies.)

actually i was banned from your game because the modteam apparently trusts completely baseless accusations about people instead of approaching them to ask them about situations they've been accused of. so you can just ignore this comment i was unable to delete because i was wrongfully banned, denied my right to face my accuser, and given no opportunity to defend myself. have a great day!
