I'm back, umm...just a suggestion?
I think we should create some magic chart to limit the use of highly destructive powers of the characters.
like, for fire element users they could use some low level fire magicks if they aren't mages.
here's an example:
Fire element:
Level 1: Burn = generates enough heat to produce burning effects on target.
Level 2: Incinerate = envelops target with fire.
Level 3: Hellfire =area of effect, envelops targeted area with fire.
Ultimate: *insert name desired* = *insert effect desired*
ultimates can only be used by mages, so would a level 3 spell. Limiting and defining what kind of magic one can and cannot use will greatly help prevent god-moding.
It's just a suggestion though. so what do think?
Oh, we could also do the same with elemental properties and weapon abilities and other stuff.
-
Hehe, you really dig this elemental thingy huh?
It sounds good, but do we have to do calculations in battle?
Like, damage = strength x somethin'
-
Probably, but i really don't think that's necessary. It's just for reference. I mean, we wouldn't want a rookie mage to just go hurling powerful spells and coming up with even more powerful ones at the beginning of the game.
-
I really don't think its necessary. I'm pretty sure most people have an intuitive understanding of the level of magic they are capable of using and regulating it will just cause more annoyance than it is worth. Especially if we start having unilateral spell lists.
-
Well for starters, everyone has light stepping and almost "unmatchable" speed. That for instance is very...VERY, in reality, unstoppable. You know what I mean?
Well this isn't reality so yeah, XD
But I have another question, how do u know someone's level or capabilities?
-
I assume, like in reality, you don't unless you have heard some sort of rumor about them.
-
I agree with Luzifer on the magic chart subject, while it might be a good idea for another RPG, I think everyone knows the boundries of magic in this RPG and the same for skills.
And no you don't really know what a character is capable of unless you've seen them fight or heard a rumor or something of the like.
-
well, it's okay, like i said, it's just a suggestion. ^^
oh, and another thing, how does a a character join a guild?
I mean, do we just create NPCs so we could join in or something like that?
-
A frequently asked question:
How do you get in a guild?
and here's the answer:
You have to talk to the registration office, who is also the guy who will give you your jobs later on(an NPC) and he'll send you to a high up member of the guilds room (also an NPC for convienece sake) where they will interview you about your past, skills, and why you want to join the guild. After that you pretty much are accepted. (Since you control the NPC it's kind of hard not to be accepted)
-
You can add some spice to it, like the registration guy giving you an errand but you actually already passed.
And another question, if someone's level is determined by rumors and assumptions, will it be us who will make the rumors?
-
Yes you can.
Yes, but if a rumor is over done or makes any character too powerful I will give you a warning and make you redo it, after three warnings you're banned from the RPG.
-
Ok I need to clear things up, please define too powerful.
>_>
-
Too powerful would be the closest, and most obvious, form of god-moding.
For example, you're rookie character engages on a fight scene with another character (not an NPC) and you managed to just dodge everything your opponent hurls at you or you just did everything not stated in your character sheet and managed to destroy entire cities with one blow.
like Sephiroth of FF7.
-
Added some NPC's that will be entering shortly, bulletin board area, & rule breaking stirke area to the top post.
-
ooops...sorry didn't see the colons. ^^
finally some real action soon.^^
-
No I just have the list set up, when you do some thing wrong, what you did, and which post it was done it will be put by your name. Ha sorry for the confusion.
-
good thing we've got this thread, ooc's used to clog up and confuse rpg threads. ^^
-
**Announcment: Bulletin board updates! If you guys have ideas for jobs at the moments submit them to me through PM!
-
Sweet, jobs!! And, oh yeah. My sister said if we can get some sort of script w/ a dice. She said we can use it in many things, so that we don't always decide if we always dodge something and stuff.
Ex: Kalintz is about to get hit w/ something, he can't use his teleportation to evade it because he's really worn out. He uses his last surge of energy to evade.
Requirement to dodge incoming attack: Get a number more than 4
Something like that
-
This isn't world of warcraft or dungeon and dragons we don't have a roll dice option, in RPing it is your job to control your character's developement and skills, and decide what they can and can't dodge. Doing something like a that is tideous and time wasting, and there's no point in making the rpg that complicated.
-
That's what I said to her, she's so hard core >_>
-
Yaaay! Bulletin board updates! This is getting rather exciting. ^_^ So you can go on the job if you just joined the guild right?
-
Haha, if you want some hard core RP'ing try the BESM thread or just go to other sites hosting official RPGs. It's a good idea though, but rather too complicated for this RP.
-
Nah, the RP's fine as it is. It couldn't be better... ^_^
And it's my sister's suggestion not mine. And another question, what are we going to do w/ the gold reward?
Is there going to be like, a shop for things?
