In the spirit of completing patterns...

Red = Fire
Blue = Air
Gold = Earth
Black = Death
Green = Water
Metallic Gold = Gold
Metallic Silver = Silver
Metallic Bronze = Bronze
Ivory = ???
White = ???

I don't want a definition, I want a one word description of Ivory and White.

For example.. A Fire Wyrm or a Death Drake, ...

Ivory is life drain.....
so void might work for ivory

Opposite of rainbow
presence of all colors
lack of any color

not a very pretty name
but then lack of
could also apply to the name

Void

[cliffwiggs]

Hmm.. I summon a 'Null Drake' to your home.

I summon a 'Void Wyrm' to the Frontier.

Doesn't really 'flow' does it? Maybe ivory is the best term to use even though it breaks the pattern.

If you want to keep the pattern....
an Ivory Dragon has no name
(Lack of name)
So .....Summon a Drake to a terrain...
means Ivory Drake

[KilljoyKing]

If you say "Summon a Drake", that just begs your opponent to ask "What kind?"

Some sort of qualifier is obviously needed, but I never really thought into it more than just Ivory and White. I guess this is the same sorta dilemma that the new Hybrid Dragons introduced.

Amazon and Eldarim Dragons?


Null and Void just sound like they have dark connotations to me unfitting of the ivory plastic. Likewise, while rainbow and iridescent accurately depict what the color stands for, they say little for the color itself. You think newbies have trouble keeping the ivory and white colors straight? See what happens when you start calling the white dice Rainbow!


... Omni Drake?

well........
Gold is Gold
Silver is Silver.....
So Ivory is Ivory
does it need to be renamed?

[Deeghter]

Well, I always used the color name.
No Fire Dragonkin or Water Dragon or anything else was necessary yet.

I think I remember some players to define Ivory (the Amazons) as "Flesh" (since it was - and still is - the only humanoid lifeform in Esfah). I thought it was still considered as flesh now.

In that case you'd summon a Flesh Dragon ===> weird!

Using the colors flows very well when summoning a dragon, I think.
Considering the hybrids it'll get even more difficult. I summon a fire/death dragon to your terrain!? Hmmmm.....

Furthermore, if you start to call single-colored dragons by their elements, then you gotta do that with artifacts, magic items and - as mentioned above - with dragonkin as well!?

On the other hand, I must admit it sounds a little more threatening to summon a Deathfire Dragon!
(Firewater Dragon would rather tempt you to order another drink, LOL, sorry 'bout this rather flat joke!)

If I had to vote, I'd vote for the color names.

As I think has been pointed out before in the SFR forums, just about every freakin' species on Esfah is made of flesh. What do you think elves are made from? Candy or somethin'?
Thus, Ivory != Flesh.

Treefolk, Scalders, and certain Undead are the only non-monster exceptions I can think of.

And no, Amazons are not the only humanoid species. Anything with a human-like shape (head, torso, two arms, and two legs) is humanoid, which does fit every species released -- even the Feral. Amazons are just the only humans, which is why they are also called as -- gasp, shock, lo and behold! -- the humans.


Back to the colors, Gold is Gold and Silver is Silver, true, so that would work for Ivory, too, since Ivory is an actual material. However, White isn't, so even if there is a solution for one, the other half of the problem is still at large.

Prismatic Dragon might work for the White Dragon.
here is why......
since the White Dragon Breath has Terrain Empathy....
basically a prism breaks up light into rainbow colors.
Depending how the prism is rotated in the light.....
the color spectrum can vary,
thus emulating terrain empathy.

ivory=ivory

This topic has gotten increasing off-topic. The personal attacks (aka flaming) are over the top. I've moved this entire topic to off-topic because of this.

I don't mind if people disagree, that's what makes a discussion worthwhile. But there are civil ways to disagree and uncivil ways to disagree. I want to see the civil ways used.
