Ferrinus posted:It's implicit in Awakening 1E but I think only made explicit in the Seers book that one of the things the Seers do, and certainly one of the things that the Seers proudly tell themselves and other people they do, is actually protect humanity from total destruction. The masses of Sleeping men and woman have lovely and meaningless lives under the Exarch regime, but they do have lives, and there's various metaphysical infrastructure in place (like the "Gate" exarch) which makes sure that the entire world doesn't deliquesce because of one psycho in a tower somewhere. They see themselves as protecting mankind from the chaos, danger, and perhaps even tyranny of unrestricted, untrammeled magic use. Being a Seer, especially a Prelate, is kind of like having a license to practice a behavior or wield a tool which is so inherently dangerous that it should (and is!) illegal for laymen to monkey around with. You could've just said "the Seers have a monopoly on the use of Forces".

If anyone has any advice on how to get your players to stop taking stupid actions, I'm all ears.

Ferrinus posted:You can’t just regurgitate the fruit of the tree of knowledge and return to blissful innocence. Magic - the ability to understand the world so well that you can change it, the unity of theory and action, the capacity of humankind to parse and manipulate symbols to wider material and social effect - is now out of the bag and part of the status quo. You might as well inveigh against literacy. Reading your posts certainly makes me wish we could retroactively take written communication away from humanity.
