POEE Powers

From LSWiki

You have a variety of interesting and useful powers at your disposal as a Discordian. However, not all of these powers are available to all Discordians; you may have to wait for the more powerful ones. Which powers you can use is determined by your Liberty and Inana. They are:

• Aura
• Channel
• Conjure
• Convert
• Funge
• Gland
• Illuminate
• Quote
• Rift
• Sublimate
• Unname

Help is available on each of them. You also have access to a pair of comm channels; the first is the Discordian Society channel, usable by POEE and LDD members (commands 'discordian' and '/'), the second is the private POEE channel (commands 'poee' and 'guild').

For a more robust list of what powers are accessible to you, check 'show powers known'.

Like all Discordians, you can offer sacrifices to Eris at any time with the syntax 'offer <item> to Eris'.

Chaos Energy

• POEE now use Chaos energy for most of their powers. Chaos energy accumulates slowly over time naturally as part of your ability to recognize and internalize the True Chaos inherent in reality around you. Most abilities (channel chaos, rift, unname, and aura) now cost Chaos energy, while some (sublimate, aura maintenance, and illuminate) continue to only cost spiritual energy. Conjure uses both.

Liberty

• POEE now get fancy messages when they gain and lose powers as a result of character progression, and gaining powers and channel components is now significantly more organic with a broad-ranging metric known as 'liberty', which can be accessed via the command 'show liberty'. Inana still matter just as much as before; one must now meet both the inana requirements and the liberty requirements to learn an ability.
  • Liberty seems to be determined by a number of things including level, quest points, exploration points, and skills (carousing, critical thinking, erotic arts, erotic lore, imagination, introspection, logic, meditation, metaphysics, philosophy, psychology).
  • Completely unlocking available powers requires about 600 liberty. Completely unlocking all channel options requires about 675 liberty.

Boring Grayface Numbers

• 7 points of Imagination increased liberty by 2.
• 14 points of Erotic Arts increased liberty by 3, or perhaps 2.
• 7 points of Erotic Arts increased liberty by 1.
• about 30? (less?) points in Philosophy increased liberty by 5.
• Critical Thinking seems to have a smaller effect than other skills
• Liberty is increased by Quest Points in the formula QP+1. For example, if you complete a 6 QP quest, you will get 7 Liberty.
• Exploring Storm Rock fully added 6 Liberty, though I already had ~25% explored, so in reality an explore from 0 would add about 8 Liberty.
• At 150 Liberty, Convert was unlocked. By this point you should also have Sublimate, Channel, and Chaos.
• At 220 Liberty, Illuminate was unlocked.
• At 250 Liberty, Boom was unlocked. By this point you should also have Sweet.
• At 300 Liberty, the Prickle element is unlocked. Seasons come later.
• At 320/1 Liberty, Aura and Conjure are unlocked at the same time.
• At 325 Liberty, the Pungent element is unlocked.
• At 375 Liberty, the Orange element is unlocked
• At 380 Liberty, the Rift power is unlocked.
• At 450 Liberty, the Confusion season is unlocked.
• At 500 Liberty, the Unname power is unlocked.
• At 525 Liberty, the Discord season is unlocked.
• It can be surmised the other 2 seasons are unlocked at 550, 600, and 650-675 Liberty. Funge would be the last power.
