The Ley Point Buy is part of the bigger [[Proficiency]] System. Please read the Proficiency Page first before reading this one. Ley Point Buy provides Packs for your Character to become proficient in using or hacking Dragon technology as fueled by the ancient Leyline system. They do this by creating their own Unicore (a sort of drone), a more simplified version of a Dragon's Soulcore (a more advanced drone with a complex personality) that acts as a semi-sentient supercomputer that can access functions of the Leylines and thus call upon Elderlaw, which is reality-enforcing Magic only accessible to Dragons. Ley Point Buy can be invested in by both pro and anti-Dragon/Draconist Characters. Keep in mind, however, that Draconists and Archon consider the Leylines the be under the sole ownership of Dragons. Dragon-aligned Characters may act hostile to your Character if they feel they are impeding on their property, as they often feel they should be the only ones allowed to interact with Leyline machines. | The Ley Point Buy is part of the bigger [[Proficiency]] System.

If you or your Ally does something detrimental/stupid/ignorant/mistaken during a Divinium Summoning/Demon Duke Summoning/Other kinds of Greater Entity interactions (like Gods, or Arken), the Unicore will automatically detect this, and force a localized time rewind with Elderlaw Magic until before the mistake, and then explain what mistake was made. This Mechanic must be Emoted at the start of any such encounter because DM's will not know your Proficiency spread going into it. This Mechanic can only be used once per Scene/Summoning, even if there are more Unicores present. | If you or your Ally does something detrimental/stupid/ignorant/mistaken during a Divinium Summoning/Demon Duke Summoning/Other kinds of Greater Entity interactions (like Gods, or Arken), the Unicore will automatically detect this, and force a localized time rewind with Elderlaw Magic until before the mistake, and then explain what mistake was made.

If you are using it for yourself, there is a 30-day cooldown per DM, even if that DM is playing different Characters in different plotlines, you cannot re-use this Pack on the same DM in that period. If you are using it to save a friend’s error, the cooldown applies both to you and your friend, regardless if they have the Pack or not. | ||

The Unicore is able to create a duplicate entryway into any realm, location, or distant place that you have visited before with the Unicore. For example, if someone with a Custom Kit or Mechanic leads you into a secret realm, the Unicore will duplicate the location matrix and is able to create a Leyline Portal at your chosen location that will also lead to that location. You must request the portal placement and its hooked location in a Staff Ticket, but Staff may decline certain requests. Only one Portal may exist at any time.

====Protocol Analysis==== | |||
The Unicore allows you to perform a deep scan and analysis of otherworldly entities, objects, places, and Greater Entities. This allows your Character (if they are aware that someone is a Demon), to analyze their origins and Alignment, as well as their threat. This can also be used on Aloria-born people or entities that you may suspect are actually a God or Greater Entitiy in hiding to reveal their nature, however, be aware that this is telegraphed and the entity may not like being revealed. Additionally, this Mechanic grants deep analysis of the sentient peoples of Aloria, but whatever information comes out of such an analysis, should be discussed with consent between you and the person you are using it on. | |||
====Protocol Debate==== | |||
The Unicore is necessarily always more charismatic than you when it comes to conversing with machines. This includes player characters such as Automata (including flesh and blood Characters with a Unimatrix for brain) or remote-controlled Mech-suits, and even Event machines such as Dewamenet Warmechs or Dragon Soulcores. The Unicore can use Protocol Debate to use [[Speech_Point_Buy#Persuasion_Stat_and_Rolls|Persuasion]] as if using it from Speech Point Buy, except using the number of Proficiency Points invested in Ley Point Buy Packs, instead of Proficiency Points invested in Charisma Point Buy Packs. All other rules apply normally. | |||
====Protocol Eject==== | |||
Should you be kidnapped, restrained, jailed, or otherwise indisposed (like traveling abroad), the Unicore may detach from you either voluntarily, or be rejected in an emergency, and find other friends or allies to be safe with. From there, the Unicore can produce a hologram appearance of you remotely, that you are telepathically able to control from a great distance thanks to the Leylines. Whoever has imprisoned you will not be able to tell that you are controlling the Unicore and hologram at the same time. The hologram allows you to speak, hear, and perceive the world around you, and also move around, but it does not allow Combat, and the moment anyone attacks the Unicore it immediately shuts down until Combat is over. This Mechanic in essence allows you to continue roleplaying while indisposed, and potentially plot against your captors. Care should be taken to ensure that the Minecaft skin you are using looks more like a hologram projection than the flesh and blood you, ask for help from other players if need be. | |||
: ''Disclaimer: This Mechanic is meant to be used in good faith and with advancing Roleplay in mind. It is not meant to be used to immediately re-appear after abduction, and say "hey guys, this guy kidnapped me, kill him with hammers". It is meant to be more like "Hey guys, I was kidnapped, I can't see anything and don't know where I am, lets retrace my last steps so we can figure something out. This Mechanic is meant to be used in coordination with the abductors to promote RP excitement, not insulate your OC from experiencing bad things.'' | |||
