For things like alchemy where theres not any physical skill needed, NTC would be the best option right?, cuz then you can learn more in that same 52 year period than someone who sparked into a child and knew nothing in the beginning. Thats kinda cool, players who focus on alchemy will probably always be the 'old' type with long white beards and it plays into that stereotype a bit. :D
Do you guys expect to see a lot of players, interested in alchemy or any similar profession that doesn't require physical attributes, to be more interested in sparking into older characters? or do you expect it to be a lot more rare?
BTW Is sparking into characters the only thing you could do with story points once the game is launched?
I would say its more rare, because you can learn pretty quickly and you wont always know what their skills and attributes are. I'd rather chance it with a new character to see if I can unlock any hidden skills that I'd need to work towards, so I would honestly see it as a waste of a spark to spark into someone that late in their age.
I do see a lot of activity and interest in Alchemy, I have an alchemy academy and a count that wants to do a alchemy guild and stuff and its been very popular lately.
Story points are used for a lot of things, it'll take a while for you to get enough to afford to purchase a spark with it. Story points are used for titles mainly in game -- so if you want to be an adventurer you have to earn enough story points to be a mayor if thats what you want to do etc.
