which colleges should i go with?
You’ve got the general gist of it. Statics are builders and architects; they tend to stick with tried-and-true methodologies, but they also tend to produce most of the goods the Asura trade with other races.
Dynamics are the researchers and inventors. They explore new uses for existing technologies, experiment with new devices, and occasionally come up with some astounding new gadget. (They also tend to have a lot of failed experiments.)
Synergetics tend to be very high level or quasi-theoretical/philosophical researchers. If Statics are electrical engineers, and Dynamics are discrete mathematicians, then Synergetics would be quantum physicists. The kind of stuff Synergetics asura work on rarely, if ever, have any practical effects on day-to-day life, but when they make a breakthrough, it could change the very way the Asura see the world.
Which is why my Asura Elementalist is Synergetics.
Small point. Asura are inventors. So those from the college of dynamics do invent. But their inventions tend to perfect already existing technologies. That’s why all three colleges participate in the Snaff award.
“they prefer to perfect well-understood tools, and the asura owe the high performance and extreme efficiency of many of their standby technologies to generations of Static development and polish.”
