[POLL] world change: resonance!
Hi guys! I'm considering submitting for a world change (and I was encouraged by the mods to talk about it).
Specifically, this would bump up Recolle residents' spiritual ability a small amount. In Tales of Zestiria/Berseria, resonance is the ability to see seraphim (magic-using nature spirits), hellions (monsters), and other random supernatural stuff. The problem is that people without this ability can't see or hear spirits at all. Since regains are an essential part of this game's mechanics, this would make acquiring CR difficult for those who've regained any of their abilities.
I'm proposing this for two reasons:
I have been quoted an estimated 1200 points for what is essentially a mild boost to the sixth sense. Per the mods:
(I believe this would also include hearing them on the basic level? Please correct me if I'm wrong.)
This is a neutral enough proposal that characters who have spent points on regaining things won't feel too left out. Additionally, it's a minor enough boost that characters who didn't want to be affected by it could probably opt out without any trouble-- I think that's the most important thing.
Feel free to elaborate on your vote in the comments; I want to find a solution that will allow spirits/gods to make CR easier without putting too much pressure on ghost-seeing characters, and I can do that better with feedback.
Thanks!

I'm proposing this for two reasons:
- It allows spirit/god characters to make CR more easily without a go between;
- It allows a wider variety of characters to get involved in the more supernatural side of Recolle.

"One of the things we're thinking would be to put some caps on it such as people who don't have a natural affinity to sensing the supernatural would be able to see a faint outline. Characters who have a ghost sense/supernatural ping/etc would still need to buy this back for their full canon ability and from there they would be able to fully see our supernatural characters.

Would you like to see a gamewide minor spiritual ability boost to Recollé? (Characters with no natural ability would only hear/see a faint outline, while those with the ability would still need to buy back their full ability.)

Thanks!

As long as it's a gentle spiritual awareness and not gonna make those with abilities redundant/missing out until they can buy their abilities back, I'm game for it.
no subject
It is the most gentle of spiritual awarenesses. Theoretically (and this would need mod clarification) it might make things like detecting the ghosts in the woods easier for people. Yato might be more visible when he's floating into walls. Just little stuff like that-- so that someone knows something is there, but not necessarily the full picture.

Eleanor has zero spiritual awareness. If this world change goes into effect, she'd have a little bit, which would presumably let her see the Tales spirit people as weird outlines of people?
Would it effect anything else? Will people be able to see ghosts or other spirits, or anything like that? Or is it completely specific to Tales stuff.
no subject
This is to help everyone in game who's a spirit/god and has some form of intangibility. Yato's invisible too, for example, and he's not from the Tales series.
As far as I know it'd only apply to PCs, and it's totally optional. (I'm pushing for that since comfort level is important.)
The point of this is to help characters who are spirits get CR if they want it, rather than constantly depending on someone else (there are only a handful of ghost-seeing characters in game) or some kind of trick to thread with others.
