Master Teacher improvements

Post by Erasmus »

Again, with the potential influx of new players, I had some ideas on ways to improve teaching and even one idea to help reduce the necessity for GM Teachers.

1. See my post about using Mission Boards for tasks and reports.

2. This is where the suggestion comes in to play.

Art Suggestion: Master Train

An art for Master Teachers (players) that does the following:

1. Awards the double halo allowing Train Self to be trained to all Teachers. This helps all teachers advance and makes them potentially more effective. This could also open up the possibility of MTs having a single multi-focal halo, GM MTs having a dual multi-focal halo and Senior Teachers with higher Train plateaus to have the current player MT dual halos.

2. Pulls up a dialog box similar to Forge and Translocate.
One selection would be Focus which filters the second selection which would be Art. The third option would be Plateau.

3. This allows a Master Teacher to train ANY focus art currently trainable to players, regardless of the MTs focus. Since it would be a direct database edit or something similar, the MT wouldn't have to know the art and therefore wouldn't be able to evoke the art.

4. The plateau field would contain options from 0 to whatever plateau the MTs current Train level may be.

5. Possible addition would be to give the MT the ability to Sphere above their own Sphere and even plateau one or two levels above their own and an additional way to further increase the pool that MTs could be chosen from. Let's face it, if a Teacher has a train of 60 or 70, there's not much difference in them and a teacher with 80 or 90 in most cases as far as quality is concerned.

5. Dramsmith Mark would unlock Forge as an option in the arts list.

6. Checks would be made to ensure the student can learn the art and/or plateau, just like it is today.

7. An additional feature could be implemented at some point that pops up a message asking if you are sure you want to train x dreamer in X art to X plateau. Which is a feature I'd love to see for any version of Train or Sphere and even house initiation/promotion arts.

8. For additional oversight, Master Train evokes would show as priority on the Train logs that may or may not exist.

Thoughts?
