This is a Medieval game.

OOC thread : OOC!

A Medieval game (as might be read in Aninimouse's original one) is a play-by-post game, based on stats, and with perhaps infinite freedom. You could roam the lands for treasure, or you could stay at home and hone potion brewing. You could be chaos incarnate and attempt to raze the land (after some training in magic, that is), or you could be a hermit wizard, preferring to stay holed up in a cave and destroy whoever dares to disturb you.

Unless agreed upon in advance, two or more players don't have to act together at all.

This brew of Medieval has some changed mechanics and names, but probably will still act the same, mostly.
Mechanics

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

There are five basic stats.

Strength - Melee damage relies on this.
Dexterity - All production(life) skills depend on Dexterity. Critical chances, ranged damage and 'balance' all draw from Dexterity.
Constitution - This decides your base defense/protection and your life points.
Will - Mostly how hard you are to knockout or kill. It also contributes to mana, base defense, base magic defense, and life points... along with a few more.
Intelligence - Intelligence is used for magic related things, such as mana, spell potency, and magic defense.

There are also the following 'derived' stats:

Life points
Will + 5 X Constitution

Mana
Will + 5 X Intelligence

Base Melee Attack
Minimum : Strength / 4
Maximum : Strength

Base Ranged Attack
Minimum : Dexterity/2
Maximum : Dexterity

Base Critical %
Equals Dexterity

Base Magic Damage
Minimum : Intelligence / 3
Maximum : Intelligence / 2

Base Defense
(Constitution + Will) / 5

Base Protection - This reduces the likelihood of critical attacks.
(Constitution + Dexterity) / 5

Base Magic Defense
(Will + Intelligence) / 5


Attack speed
Most weapons have speeds of 100, 200, 300, or 400.
A speed of 100 means the weapon will always hit once every turn. A speed of 200 means the weapon will always hit twice each turn, and so on. Meanwhile, a weapon with a speed of 250 means the weapon has a 50% chance of hitting three times, or otherwise hits twice.

Skills
Weapon proficiency - Most are self-explanatory. These skills usually increase the weapon's balance, speed and damage.
Bows
Critical
Crossbows
Exotic
Hand-to-Hand
One-hand axe
One-hand blade
One-hand blunt
Spears
Staffs
Throwing
Two-hand axe
Two-hand blade
Two-hand blunt
Wand -> Special in that it does not increase the weapon's stats, but rather decreases the mana evaporation which happens whenever the user lets go of a wand.

Armor proficiency - Increase armors' defense and protection, and decrease any penalties.
None - Cloth
Light - Leather
Medium - Chain/partial plate
Heavy - Plate
Exotic

Small shields - Most shields fall into this category.
Large shields - Tower shields and other heavy shields.

Life skills - These are mostly production skills.
Bowery - Creating bows and crossbows.
Butchery - Includes tanning, skinning, and production of meat from animals.
Carpentry - Includes creating wooden furniture, wooden dowels. Also includes woodcutting.
Clothmaking - Leather and fabric clothing is made with this skill. Easy to think of as 'all cloths that use a needle to make'.
Cooking - Cooking and preparing meals.
Fishing - Fishing for aquatic food.
Handicraft - Most crafting falls into this skill. It may include things such as fletching, creating crafts, creating leather strips and strings, etc.
Herbology - Identification and collection of herbs for potions and condiments.
Mining - The identification and mining of veins of ore.
Panning - Using a sifter to collect bits and pieces of metal from flowing water or sand.
Potion brewing - Creating potions with many uses: common potions may be health or mana restoring potions.

Looks a bit too complicated for me at 11:20 PM, but I'll keep my eye on, been meaning to join a forum game for a for a little while.

[Skyrunner]

Computer session was interrupted, so to clarify: 30 points to Weapon/Armor proficiency, 30 to Magic/Life.

[Sinpwn]

Name: Sinsot
Race: Undead
Age: Ancient
Gender: "Male"

Appearance: Corpse of unidentifiable race in state of almost total decomposition. Partly bandaged in dark cloth. Unusually sharp finger bones and clawlike feet.

History: It has been heard of only in obscure legends, often said to crawl into houses on walls and cielings and grab small children from their beds. It is unknown if this is the creature from legends, or just a project of a talented necromancer, but one thing is certain: The Sinsot is hungry.

((I don't quite feel like making anything fancy for appearance/history, because of how much I've been doing that working on a new "Medieval" Style Setting/Game. I need a break from all that before I go crazy.))

((@Aninimouse: The current players in yours appreciate the effort you go to serve all of them, well, that is what I see  . Also, very much interested in Trail's End, but sadly I have no clue to how anything works.))


Posting to watch, maybe.

[Skyrunner]

((@Tiruin - Trail's End is a D&D game using Maptools, which may be part of why you can't get anything: half of it isn't even there! If you still are interested, there are many tools to use and helpful people on the thread))

Spoiler: Application (click to show/hide)

Name: Sherz Velter
Race: Lich(human)
Age: 27
Gender: Male

Appearance: Sherz stands at 6'7" and has short, dark brown hair and red eyes. The unusual circumstances surrounding Sherz's turning into a lich have rendered him eternally young, with an extraordinary ability to recover from scars left by wounds, keeping him from rotting. He fully resembles his living self in every way.

History: Sherz was originally the highest ranking knight in the king's army, leading a brigade of ten knights as a faithful servant of the kingdom. He and his men traveled from bandit hideout to bandit hideout capturing or killing the most heinous criminals in the name of the king. While out on a mission one day, the kingdom was attacked. The magnitude of the attack was so great that over half of the population was massacred, with almost all of the military destroyed. Among those killed was his wife, whom he had married just two years before. When the king refused to let Sherz hunt down those responsible for her death, he abandoned his country.
After two years, Sherz had discovered that the killers were from an allied nation. They had disguised themselves as simply bandits, in a plot to keep their alliance with the kingdom to leech as much money as possible before fully killing the survivors off. When Sherz went to kill the enemy's king, he was struck down by the powerful spells of the imperial mages, and was thrown to the very bottom of the continent's worst dungeon to ensure he would never escape.
For a year, Sherz stayed starved and dehydrated, forced to stay alive by the healers of the dungeon. On the last day of the first year, an immortal god of death and destruction offered Sherz freedom and life at the cost of his mortality. Upon his acceptance, the god rose Sherz as a lich, and allowed him passage out of the dungeon, killing all who got in his way. Upon his freedom, the god taught Sherz the spells of a deathbringer, and gave him a sword and armor to survive, promising him greater provisions when he proves himself useful.

Application

[spoiler]Name: Nirfly McJoy
Race: Halfling
Age: 53
Gender: Male

Appearance: A small bare-footed creature standing roughly 1,20 meter tall. It is bald and its face is adorned by a dense round beard and furry brows, below which squinty eyes twinkle with mirth. The seemingly frail figure twitches intensely and with great frequency , its face stuck into a permanent broad smile.

History: The victim of a freak incident involving a rampaging ogre and a chicken, Nirfly's already small physique went through several trauma, severely limiting his upper body's strength. Notwithstanding, he's always done his best to face life with a positive outlook and trained to exhaustion his leg and arm coordination, mastering the art of "making things die from afar as quickly as possible". While it is true that random killing sprees have been known to follow the wake of his travels through the land, these are certainly nothing but coincidences, horrible events that he, in light of his lifelong philosophy, tries to face with a joyful outlook. He is a hunter by trade.

Please clarify if I've mucked up the points somehow. Your earlier clarification actually served to just confuse me even more... D:

[Lillipad]

Weapons and armor skills have a combined pool, with magic and life skills also having a combined pool was what he was saying.

[Aninimouse]

And suddenly Medieval Players. Its going to be strange playing with you guys instead of doing the GMing for you guys.

[thatkid]

Yes, I thought so. But Magic and Life are both bolded as separate areas, and Life has a (30) next to it despite coming AFTER magic. Couldn't be too sure.
Editing my app, sec...

You can be from the same kingdom as Sherz, making your experience even weirder.
