Video Game Forums

Yo, RP forum. Its been a few months since I last visited, and even though there's not really much activity, I felt a bit nostalgic and decided to post a new topic. So here you go, if anyone's interested.

The Slayers Battleclub is a world-wide organization dedicated to protecting people from the monsters and demons that have secretly started a war against humanity. The Slayers protect people while keeping them as unaware of the monster threat as possible. As a Slayer, you have access to their top of the line training facilities and equipment, and can take missions for cash.

Game Notes

The XP cost given for skills is per star.
All skill descriptions are for the first star achieved. Gaining new stars unlock new effects for the skills.

You get two actions per round. You can spend them to attack or move. You can also declare a defense skill instead of an attack. Reactions (the only one available so far is the Soldier's counter)

Some weapons are reach or ranged weapons, in which case if you aren't close enough, you can't attack a person who has a reach or ranged weapon.

Distance is measured as
-Close quarters,
-Melee,
-short range,
-medium range,
-long range.

Close quarters is for grappling and knives. Melee is for swords, axes, clubs, etc. Reach weapons are at a slight disadvantage in melee, and a huge disadvantage in close quarters. Ranged weapons are at a massive disadvantage in close quarters or melee range. Melee weapons cannot be used in short range, unless they are reach weapons, or can be thrown. Medium range is for slung projectiles, while long range is for bows, crossbows and guns (they'll be introduced later on)

Inventory space
---------------
An item slot can hold 1 medium item or 2 small items. A large item takes up 2 item slots. You can equip the following.

1 item in each hand (1 two handed weapon, 1 weapon and 1 shield, or two weapons.
1 Arm Accessory
1 Neck Accessory
1 Head Accessory
1 Armor set
2 rings
1 foot accessory
1 belt accessory
1 backpack
2 pouches

Bump. I'll run this one if anyone joins. I'll have another one up too though.

Note that the brackets next to the stats are what I'm adding to my base stats. Also, chain mail is a heavy armor right?

Chainmail's medium (see the lower speed loss). Sorry I'll edit to clarify.

Edit: Alright, now I'm good to go.

I'm thinking about joining, if you're okay hosting two games, but could you elaborate on magic? I'm not sure which class to pick until then.

By what I mean is, if I make a mage with these statistics

Wand Skill (Lvl 1): Wands give you +10 M. Att.
Cloak Training (Lvl 1): Cloaks give +5% evasion
Air Magic (Lvl 1): Control the element of Air/lightning. Create, control and destroy air, add Air/lightning element to your spells. 6MP. 2MP per minute maintained.

does he have any spells? 'Cause that just says "add air/lightning element to your spells". If I get my own spells, what do those do? How many spells are under "Air"? What is there to maintain?

Each of the elemental spells allows you control that element. Its basically a power rather than a singular spell. 6MP is the base cost of the spell, and knowing the spell at 1 star allows you to do limited things with it. I leave that up to you, but the effect is generally weak.

You can use the skill outside of battle on missions or exploring. To maintain the effect, it costs additional magic points every minute (out of battle) or round in battle.

Say you wanted to use your air magic to attack an enemy. It would cost 6MP. However say, if you were on a mission where you had to cross the ocean on a ship. You could use your air magic to keep the wind strong and headed in the right direction. Basically its a utility power. Other elements can do similiar things.

However, the elemental spell you learn as an apprentice is basic. Once you unlock the next class of magic user, you can learn tricks and spells requiring one of the elements and the elemental spells.

So basically, I don't have any particularly strong spells no matter what. Maybe Magic Blast, but I've got a keen eye toward that overdrive.

I'll be using the same character I'm using in KB's game, 'cause I've got to come up with more original RP characters.
