REWARDS

[calderamods]

REWARDS

You can earn Bones from doing quests for any faction. If you are purchasing a reward that would be granted by your faction's leader (i.e. "breathing under water = Cordelia/Undine) it can be purchased at a discount. Rewards are either narratively requested to the Faction leaders, or can appear at random if a character would not actively wish for an item/ability but you would like them to have it.

Players are not required to pay for basic housing or anything necessary for survival.

All players are required to submit a top-level comment with their OOC name and reply to it with their character(s) names. Any time you wish to claim a reward, reply to your thread with the form below. You must link to any threads that you are claiming rewards from. You may also bank rewards if there is nothing you wish to purchase, but we recommend you bank them officially so threads are not lost.

Quest threads can be submitted at any time. However, if we notice a habit of quests being submitted with only a handful of comments and then dropped after they are turned in, we will speak with you. Use your best judgement.

You may purchase general rewards including canon powers and items for others up to 300 Bones, but not faction related rewards or full power regains. Player permission is required.

<b>Requested Reward (Price)</b>: <b>Extra Details (if needed)</b>: <b>Quest Threads</b>: <a href="THREAD LINK">THREAD #1</a> (# Bones) + (# Cross-Faction Bonus) <a href="THREAD LINK">THREAD #2</a> (# Bones) + (# Cross-Faction Bonus) <a href="THREAD LINK">THREAD #3</a> (# Bones) + (# Cross-Faction Bonus) [# Bones] + [Previously Banked Bones (if applicable)] - # Reward Cost = [<b>New total</b>]</a>

GENERAL REWARDS
100 Bones EACH
◾ SMALL POWER REGAIN: A single power from the character's canon abilities can be regained, along with all abilities under that specific power umbrella.
◾ NON-MAGICAL ITEM OR WEAPON: A single weapon (swords, knives, bows, staffs, etc. Guns can be requested and will not have ammo readily available.) Or item (jewelry, trinkets, armor, etc.) with no magical properties. Weapons/items that come in pairs or small bulk items (like twin swords or a jewelry box filled with jewelry) could be claimed under this reward.

◾ SMALL FAMILIAR: A single small (average house cat size or smaller) creature or familiar.

250 Bones EACH
◾PERMANENT STAY PASS: Dead and want to stay in Caldera because, well, the alternative kind of sucks? Just really like the place and want to call it home for good? Good news, you can. With your permanent stay pass, you can remain in Caldera even after they send all the other Visitors home. Whenever that is...

300 Bones EACH
◾ FACTION CHANGE: You can change factions, and retain any faction rewards earned at a discount from your previous faction.

◾ FULL POWER REGAIN: All powers from a character's canon are regained. NOTE: Please describe the powers in your reward request. Anything game-breaking will be handled with mod discretion--if you have suggestions for nerfs, please list them in your post.
*a previous purchase of a SMALL POWER REGAIN would lower the cost per 100 Bones spent.

QUESTIONS

[calderamods]

Please direct your reward related questions here.

[pokeabear]

So, a random thought I had while starting to do my request about powers and regaining them: Would someone get a discount on the FULL POWER REGAIN if they have already paid for a SMALL POWER REGAIN?

Re: QUESTIONS

[serenraelover]

So, I'm definitely not doing this yet, but I would like to know if its possible to get the permanent stay pass, but be able to travel between your world and this one, or is it only one way?

Re: QUESTIONS

[serenraelover]

What are bonus bones? I noticed some people in the comments mentioning them.

Re: QUESTIONS

[badnewsandshitlist]

Hi Mods!!!!!

I have a couple of questions for you guys to answer~!

1) Could the requested item be something that was previously lost or destroyed? And if the item also happened to have a link with a separate entity- does that entity come with it and what of it's abilities?

2) Does the small power regain have to be a power that the character themselves actually have or can it be something that they are aware of? This is in regards to fixing and charging Percy's diplomacy glove that depends on electricity.

3) Can items bought via non-bones get charmed/Enchanted? Can players eventually find ways to enchant items?

Re: QUESTIONS

[borelblue]

Hello! Would earth manipulation powers allow one to turn sand into glass? Normally that means having to heat it up, but would the powers allow one to just do it anyway?

[odare]

Hi! So Finnick's trident is kinda weird because it's basically a spear, but might be like a specialty/uncommon weapon not available at a typical blacksmith especially in a high fantasy setting. I should have asked this way earlier (oops), but do I need to request this with rewards or can it be handwaved that he got something like it with his stipend? Thanks!

Re: QUESTIONS

[badnewsandshitlist]

Where does a bag of Residuum fall under the reward system? It's not inherently magical but it boosts magic abilities.

[lost_and_foundry]

Low key no-rush question here, but is there an in-universe narrative for how rewards purchases happen? Do characters go to some kind of central location with Bones and ask an NPC? Send a request to the faction leader? Just curious for writing purposes.

[lonelysmiles]

A dumb question for something far in the future but if someone were to pick the "Flying Creature Transformation" and decided the fantasy flying creature they picked is a flying reindeer, does the glowing red nose come included or would "Dancing Lights" need to be purchased to simulate that?

Re: QUESTIONS

[lightundying]

s o house upgrades. 100 bones to add another floor? does it comes with rooms?

also, are the upgrades like magically added onto the house, or like new construction, or maybe a new house entirely if the desired changes are extensive enough? Eikon house is starting to feel a bit cramped for a prince and joshua is loud

[internationalrelations]

Where would a beagle fall in terms of regains? Completely non magical run of the mill ordinary doggo but like a specific doggo from back home. Small or large familiar? Something else?

Thanks!

[stolentrinkets]

hello! just wanting some clarification on a small power regain.

say a character would like to regain a feat (example, the magic initiate feat), that gives access to three spells (iirc, it's two cantrips and a first level). Would the feat itself be a small power regain or would each spell in the feat be a small power regain?

thank you in advance!

[stolentrinkets]

Hello! One more question.

Are we allowed to request buildings? (An example: a larger residence for bigger casts, etc.) If so, how much would they be?

Thank you in advance!

Re: QUESTIONS

[shuffled]

Hi mods! Anthem popped in about halfway through a oops! all dragons quest. Just wondering if it would count for her? She's going to be helping with the second half of the quest getting materials for the dragon eggs, but I understand if just hopping into a thread midway is a no go for claiming rewards.

Thank you!

Re: QUESTIONS

[okiedokies]

If someone were to request a small item from home, like a picture, what would the cost of that reward be?

Re: QUESTIONS

[somethingveryspecial]

Would Kainé need 200 for her dual blades or would they come as a set at 100?

Piggy backing off this: Would Noctis need 300 per Royal Arm (13 of them in total) or are they included with the power regain of Armiger?

[lonelysmiles]

Stolas and Alastor are looking at running an apothecary together so would they each need to pay 200 bones for the business license or would it be split 50/50 since they're running the same business?

Re: QUESTIONS

[thecodexabides]

OK! I'm planning ahead and of course I'm going for maximum stupid.

Is it possible that, say, dipshit here could ask for a specific power and the hosts fuck with him instead give him a different power? Bc I really want him to ask for something big and manly and important like his Belisarian Furnace, and get something stupid like his Betcher's glands (acid spit) or his Praeomnor (can eat rocks) instead.

He would be so mad. I really want this to happen if possible.

[odare]

Hiyaaaa! For the creature transformations, and specifically the sea creature transformation, wondering if we have to choose one form and stick to that or if it can be ANY creature? Thank you!

[odare]

Would a set of leather armor be a thing to request with rewards? I know there are folks in Caldera who could make it for him (including potentially player characters I could build CR with that way) but it seems too expensive to handwave that with the stipend.

[odare]

Hi it's me AGAIN. You can tell I have too many bones to know what to do with.

Can a character use their Bones to buy an item or power for another character?

[long_live_the_queen]

Regarding the earth golem summon reward, about how big is its maximum size? Would it be big enough to park a small cottage on its back like a Baba Yaga house made of rocks, for instance?

[fundamentalchaos]

So question:

If one were to request a magical item full of mundane items...how much would it be? Case in point, Ashton carries the party's portable hole which currently has a number of mundane items in it.

How much would it be for the portable hole plus all the items in it?

Re: QUESTIONS

[thesunreturns]

If we are asking for a consumable item (since Sienna posted about prescriptions, and reminded Simon he could do the same), how much does 100 bones get? (in terms of 'days'/'months'/'etc.' is fine?

IF we request items that may or may not exist specifically in canon? I'd like Simon to have some photographs of people from home, but the only signs we have that they could exist is 'characters around him have 2010s-era cell phones, so might have taken photos'.
