Thoughts? Tips? Help?

Spoiler: WIP opening (click to show/hide)

Setting: April 21nd, 2023 in Victoria on Vancouver Island. Friday.

You were all approached at one point or another during the week near your school or homes. A man and woman in suits, with a male scientist as well, claimed to be gathering people who fit a specific criteria for a biological study. The exact details were kept rather vague, but the general idea was that all participants would come in once a day for a week from 6 to 8pm for a series of personality, blood, and aptitude tests. For coming in the whole week, participants would receive ten thousand dollars, and their results would determine if they would be considered for future testings and studies.

The first testings would be today, and it was 5pm now, just after an early dinner. Advice from your parents/permission to go if you wanted, was all you had. It was now your decisions of whether to go, or pass on the opportunity. (You may decide as a group, or seperately to go or not.)

Spoiler: Character Sheet (click to show/hide)

 Name: You all know this.
Gender: Male, Female, Other?
Age: Between 12 and 19 please, unless you can give a good reason or argument for lower/higher. (Changes stats slightly. -pending-)
Power: See spoiler below for information.
Stats: 30 points. (If 15 or younger, you get 1 free Dex and Mag point. If 16 or older, you get 1 free Str and End point. -A player vote against this, and I will eliminate the age bonuses-) (Base normal human stats are 28)
STR- Physical strength. Used for most Physical Actions.
END- Stamina and Resilience to Physical Attack.
DEX- Agility and Evasion. Also used for anything requiring precision.
MAG- Magical Strength. Dictates what you can do, and how much strain in puts on yourself.
MIND- Mental Capacity. Determines your control somewhat as well. (Low mind, lower control… usually)

Health- Determined by this formula. [End*5]+[Str*2]+[Character Age].
Mana- Determined by this formula. [Mind*3]+[Mag]+[Character Age / 2].

Spoiler: Powers (click to show/hide)

Power: Your Power will be determined by picking an element of some kind. This can be anything from fire, earth, and air; to plastic, wood, life, or steel maybe. The more specific your magic is, the less you can do, but the more you can manipulate it. The opposite is true for the more broad Powers. Too broad or vague will be veto-ed, as well as any power fully related to Time, Teleportation, Blood, Decay, etc. Emotion based magic is not banned, but strongly discouraged. I MAY allow one player character to have one, but don’t get your hopes set on one.

Of note also is that the opposite of your element is your weakness and will deal 1.5 times damage, rounded up. On the flip side, being hit BY your element deals only 0.5 times damage rounded up.

Spoiler: Rolls (click to show/hide)

Rolls will be made using a D50+appropriate stat(s) for actions, adding the appropriate stat. Any spell or manipulation of your element will require a D50 roll for effectiveness. (Mundane things such as moving some water from a source to a container, or lighting a campfire do not require a roll. Mana maybe, but not a roll.) Damage rolls will be rolled depending on both the attack used, and the element of it.

Spoiler:  Example Character Sheet (click to show/hide)

Name: Mark Dens
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Power: Heat Manipulation
Stats: 30+2 points. +1 Str, End. (Base normal human stats are 28+2)
STR- 4+1
END- 7+1
DEX- 8
MAG- 5
MIND- 6

Health- 66/66
Mana- 31/31

And I like that split for the magic types.

[PrivateNomad]

Looks good to me.

[Akroma]

I thought it was a setting description for a reboot. This seems like an entirely different game altogether. A large chunk of rotmg characters dont seem to fit into that in any way whatsoever

[IamanElfCollaborator]

I....kinda already said, right after he posted that, that that was a different game.

[RangerCado]

This.

[GreatWyrmGold]

hmm, I am thinking about the magic affinities

I am thinking 4 main principles, void, creation, mind and force. Each of the principles has one pure form, and overlapping forms with whatever is not directly opposite, as well as one main element associated (cutting down from 6 elements back to just 4)

frankly because twilight hardly ever appears in the game, and seems to be something rather unique, I'm so far not really into sorting that into the system as well.

a rough draft:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I'm pretty sure Twilight is a catch-all term for things that don't really fit into Creation or Void.
Looks good. I'd say "Evocation" instead of "Energy," but other than that I'd say it works.
One question: What exactly do you mean by "necromancy"?

-snip-

Looks good, though I'm a bit sad that Angel wouldn't qualify.

If combat isn't the focus, why not ditch numbers entirely?  Have combat be all about description of effects (which the focusing and casting of such left to the players) and the reactions to the attacks of the enemies, which is scripted by the GM?

Thoughts?

[RangerCado]

I would have to let Angel in, if only for nostaligia. I stated I would need convincing. Angel being Angel is enough.

[Akroma]

necromancy as in magic that summons some form of animating will into a dead body. I am counting summoning, necromancy and also golemancy in this part of magic, as it directly opposes the natural side of things, that is life and death

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Depends what summoning it is, although Anima's form is more Contracting supernatural entities to do what she needs them to.

[Akroma]

yeah, well, it's a draft. feel free to improve upon it until it covers as many bases as possible, and what opposes what. Then again, I'd say sending actual gods into battle would be complete creation affinity, so pure void affinity would be very effective, and void-derived magic somewhat effective

[PrivateNomad]

GWG, does demon code prevent demons from declining a rock off?

[Sanure]

Guess who got their part and hasn't yet installed it yet?

[PrivateNomad]

You?

[Akroma]

less posting more installing.


I say that, but it seems that hardly anybody still bothers posting in the thread, so even if you were up to posting a turn, you couldn't.


It seems the discussion on how rotmg v3 should be has some priority, as people seem tired of this super drawn out fight

[Kansa]

If combat isn't the focus, why not ditch numbers entirely?  Have combat be all about description of effects (which the focusing and casting of such left to the players) and the reactions to the attacks of the enemies, which is scripted by the GM?

Thoughts?

I really don't think this will work, we want more clearly defined powers not less. Stuff like this can work but it really does lead to having to have a lot of moderation and looking over fights, it also can lead to a lot more arguments.
