more...The Duke's Wolf, Part Four by Amber E.Scott
The Duke's Wolf, Part Two by Amber E.To start viewing messages, select the forum that you want to visit from the section below.Okay, this is a Meditation (with Levitation) ability for a homebrewed Mystic class that I'm writing up.I'll post the full class in a day or two probably, after I see what kind of response this gets.What you should know before you read this: This is a class ability for mystics only.BAB and only simple proficiencies.I've had this worked out for a couple months just tweaking it before it's presented for review.Meditation: A mystic may enter a meditative state with a Concentration check DC 10.For mystics, all Concentration checks use the Intelligence modifier instead of Constitution.While meditating, a mystic gains Fast Healing equal to his Wisdom modifier (if positive); this quality comes into effect on the start of the mystic's next turn after entering meditation.Failing to enter meditation during combat still uses the move action.DC of any Concentration check related to their meditation.At any time while meditating, a mystic may make a DC 15 concentrate check to begin levitating.Beginning to levitate is a move action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity, however a mystic may not begin levitating on their first turn of meditation.Maintaining levitation requires a Concentration check at DC 15 + 1 per round the mystic has been levitating.This check replaces the standard check to remain in meditation.However, for each consecutive round the mystic moves while levitating, the DC of the Concentration check increases by 2.That means, after any combat, the Mystic is healed, fully.The DCs are low, and any Mystic will alwyas make the DC 10 (by taking 10), or easily 15 (by 4 ranks), even at first level.The fast healing gets me though.Really quite potent for a first level character to get.Will the mystic be able to cast spells while meditating?Really quite potent for a first level character to get.Levitation class ability, I don't have any other uses for it written up, but if you can think of something please let me know.Yeah, I don't like the fast healing either.It might work as something the character aquires at a higher level.Will the mystic be able to cast spells while meditating?No spellcasting, as I said they may not attack or take any other action.All you can do while meditating is have fast healing and levitate (if you choose to).You say that when a Mystic begins levitating the check to remain meditating is replaced by the check to remain levitating.If that check were to be failed the Mystic would stp levitating; that much is clear.Maintaining levitation requires a Concentration check at DC 15 + 1 per round the mystic has been levitating...Finally I'd just like to say that personally I'd make all the checks to maintain meditation and levitation not Concentration Check based on Int, but a Mystic Cless Level Check that also adds Int.However, it is unclear if the Mystic remains meditating even after that check is failed or if the meditation is also stopped.Finally I'd just like to say that personally I'd make all the checks to maintain meditation and levitation not Concentration Check based on Int, but a Mystic Cless Level Check that also adds Int.Yes the Fast Healing is way too strong.Class level or something like that.You fall at normal speed towards the ground.Also, there are items that give + to concentration checks that I'm okay with affecting this.Wis modifier, starting at level 10 or so.The fast healing would indeed mean a Mystic is always at full health, except during combat.So I think concentration should have wisdom as the key ability; not intelligence.Wisdom is the constitution score of the mental stats.The levitate ability isn't all bad; I'd keep it.It doesn't get you anywhere high, and the DC gets higher as you are trying to get farther.I'd say: move at half speed, since you're nearly blind while meditating.The fast healing would indeed mean a Mystic is always at full health, except during combat.True, and that's one reason it's a good idea for me to make Fast Healing only available at higher levels.Intelligence simply takes away concentration more than it adds.Wisdom is the constitution score of the mental stats.How versatile are you, mentally?Wisdom, so making that Int was to try and balance a little.The levitate ability isn't all bad; I'd keep it.Your rate of movement while levitating is a mental exercise, and I don't think it would make sense to relate that in any way to how fast you can move by pumping your legs.You might not be focussed on the material plane when levitating, but that's still the place where you have to move.So technically, pumping your legs would get you there faster.So technically, pumping your legs would get you there faster.That's what I'm saying, pumping your legs should be a lot faster.When I say that your mind isn't concentrated on the Material Plane, all that I mean is that your attention is elsewhere, so you can't even use a whole lot of mental energy on movement.Thus, you move very slowly, and your movement speed is more dependent on your experience as a Mystic (ie class level) than your physical body in any way.Does that make any more sense now?The time now is 07:55 PM.Western mystical traditions (often
represented, in Bataille, by women's writings) and those of Friedrich
Nietzsche.These models are, I think, the key to
understanding Bataille's own writing strategies in the Atheological
Summa.Despite their apparent divergence, moreover,
Bataille insists that mystical and Nietzschean texts reflect and are
constitutive of the same experience and writing practice.The Atheological Summa encapsulates within what
purport to be three unified books the diversity of genres and styles
that run throughout Bataille's corpus as a whole.Anything broaching traditional
textual commentary is reserved for the margins of these nonbooks.Nietzsche speak to each other and lead to Bataille's necessary
apostasy as his true discipleship.Lafarge unproblematically assert that despite all proximities
between Bataille's texts and those of the mystics, they differ in
their aims or aimlessness.Whereas the mystics' path ends with the divine encounter,
Bataille renounces all objects, aims, or end for his quest and his
desire.Most importantly, he rejects all idealism and any
hope for salvation.In a move later echoed
by Jacques Lacan, Bataille claims that some medieval mystics attained
that beyond of which he writes, but without knowing anything about it:
"Exuberance is the point where we let go of Christianity.Angela of
Foligno attained it and described it, but didn't know it."Commentators follow Bataille in resisting his identification with
the mystics, then, whereas Nietzsche is a less troubling model for
Bataille and his readers.In fact, Bataille's more forthright statements
about his debt to Nietzsche can help us understand his relationship
to mystical texts.Bataille does not comment on Nietzsche as a disciple
or student might on the texts of a master, but rather attempts to
live what Nietzsche himself lived, to experience that which gave rise
to Nietzsche's writings.So
Mechthild of Magdeburg begins The Flowing Light of the Godhead with
the claim that it must be read seven times if it is to be comprehended,
and Marguerite Porete warns that those who approach her Mirror of
Simple Souls armed with reason will fail to achieve the liberation
that the book describes and enacts.In showing us how he reads Nietzsche,
Bataille echoes mystical texts, again suggesting the interplay between
the textual practices of these seemingly divergent figures.The parallel with Mechthild of Magdeburg, Marguerite Porete, and Angela
of Foligno goes even further, however, in Guilty.Guilty is
drawn from the journals or notebooks that Bataille kept from the opening
of World War II (September 5, 1939) through October 1943.This complicated
textual history is another of the many parallels between Bataille's work
and those of late medieval Christian women mystics.In addition, I will
argue, they share commonalities in their look, apparent lack of structure,
mixing of genres, and use of contradiction or paradox.The date on which I begin to write (September 5, 1939) is not a
coincidence.It is impossible for me to read.The sentiment of
chance demands that I look a difficult fate in the face.It would not
be about chance if there was not an incontestable madness.It's unlikely that Bataille knew Mechthild's work, yet I think
that a comparison between them is enlightening as Mechthild displays
in more marked form important, although obscured, features of Angela's
book that are mimed (consciously or unconsciously) by Bataille.However, the radical
difference in the nature of Augustine's, Mechthild's, and Angela's
experiences lead to a very different set of writing and rhetorical
practices within their deployment of the genre, to the point of making
the women's works unrecognizable to many as "confessions."Confessions even
as it distances them from Augustine's practice within that complex
genre.It is this
confessional aim, moreover, that brings together the diverse materials
making up their texts (as opposed to the relative, albeit hardly
complete, homogeneity of Augustine's).This
aim, however, is bound to sacrifice itself, for the pathless ecstasy
he seeks cannot be given an itinerary.This becomes clearer when we look to the
other major interlocutor within the confessional tradition (and the
other noninterlocutor of Bataille's communications).Augustine's Confessions, Mechthild of Magdeburg's Flowing
Light, and Angela of Foligno's Book are addressed not only
to the human reader, on whom the text hopes to work a transformation,
but also to God, before whom the human author stands "confessing" her
life, sins, and the glory of God reflected in it.This seems to mark
the point of greatest divergence between their work and Bataille's.Throughout the Confessions, Augustine
speaks as a human being to a transcendent God.Mechthild's use of voice
is more complex.She
takes this subordination to its limit, negating herself so fully
that the self is lost and becomes that place in and through which God
speaks.Other women, like Angela of Foligno and Marguerite
Porete, will push even further to the negation of the divine being
itself.But God being the confusion of the sacred (the
religious aspect) and reason (the instrumental aspect), he has a place
only in a world where the confusion of the instrumental and the sacred
becomes the basis for reassurance.The sacred is nothing, and it is the absence of God, in the sense
that God is understood as that which gives reason, order, coherence,
and meaning to human existence.When Mechthild, Angela, Marguerite Porete, or Meister
Eckhart claim that the soul no longer cares for heaven or hell, they
also seek this beyond of which Bataille writes.Bataille recognizes
this, but claims that the Christian mystic moves beyond God without
knowing it.The crucial distinction Bataille tries to make between
himself and the mystics seems finally to collapse.Elsewhere, Bataille calls this nonplace beyond "the impossible,"
thereby clearly raising the other aspect of the paradox structuring
Guilty.Moreover,
for Bataille human beings are themselves this impossible paradox,
making the dilemma of the human addressee and that of "the impossible"
one.This is first enacted in Bataille's text through the correlation
of the writing self and God.THE INEXPLICABLE PRESENCE OF MAN IS THE RESPONSE THAT
THE WILL GIVES ITSELF, SUSPENDED OVER THE VOID OF AN UNINTELLIGIBLE
NIGHT.Nietzsche at the end of On the Genealogy of Morals: "why
man at all?"He insists that religion is that
place in which everything is put into question.Yet the
self must be put into question in order to move toward an experience
of the absence of God.We return, then, to
the imaginary other to whom Bataille writes.The attempt to communicate
to another the way to ecstasy puts the self into play, destabilizes the
sacred, and leads to the lacerations of ecstasy.The question now becomes why communication puts the self into play or into
question and engenders the experience of the absence or death of self and
the absence or death of God.Bataille here ties the problem of
death to the paradox engendered by human beings' desire to write so as to
transform the other and the fact that this transformation itself denies
all intentionality.The necessity of effacement to the point of
transparency.Only in
this way, the text suggests, can the physical world be that other world
to which Bataille speaks silence.This is the place from
which Bataille writes.It is comical: pain is comical.Immense contradiction of my attitude!But ink changes absence into intention.Poetry is a drawn arrow.The significance of this becomes clear when we juxtapose Bataille's
critique of the Christian mystics with his insistence on Nietzsche's
failure.Nietzsche's fault lies
in his abrogation of communication.Bataille insists, however, on his communion with Nietzsche in
the writing of On Nietzsche, thereby suggesting that other modes
of communication are possible through writing experience and textual
activity.Only through this writing practice is the sacred
released from the ideal and the God to which it is still in part held
captive within Nietzsche's work.Reading Bataille with his mystical models helps us to unpack this
evocative phrase and to suggest why, for Bataille, the sacrifice and
redemption of writing by writing are necessary, and how they are effected
by the contradictions within and fragmentation of his texts.Bataille's texts point outside themselves to an
experience that is constituted in the very act of writing.The parallels
with Eric Blondel's work on Nietzsche and with contemporary studies of the
linguistic strategies of apophatic mysticism are striking.By exacerbating the paradoxes of writing a desire without object and
without aim, Bataille creates a text in which inner experience is (for
him and perhaps also for the reader who knows how to read) "attained."For
Bataille this occurs in that he is "virile" and "lacerated" or insofar
as Madame Edwarda as lacerated is divine.Amy Hollywood teaches in the Religion Department at Dartmouth College.Nietzsche's work had been important for Bataille since the 1920s and
was part of his movement away from Christianity.The complete argument will need to show divergences between
Bataille's writing practices of the '20s and '30s and those of the
Atheological Summa.More needs to be said
about the relationship between Nietzsche's obvious misogyny and his
"feminized" style.Il m'est impossible de lire.Note the truncated and fragmentary sentence structure.Early in
the text Bataille makes it clear that it is not addressed to his friends
or intimates, but to those he does not know and who will be alive after
his death.For examples, such as the dialectic of all and nothing in Porete
or Eckhart's prayer that God free the soul from God, see Hollywood.My hesitation in word choice here raises a crucial question
about the kind of claims made by such texts.Does Bataille think that
the process of reading itself is the ecstasy, or that it is capable in
certain conditions of engendering it?This concern
with the hook is at the root of Bataille's fascination with the moment
of inception, and also with eroticism as the realm of chance.For an early and important formulation

mort).Mon absence est le vent du dehors.Elle est comique: la
