too fast for me. Contracts should be longer, more drawn out.

at just the right pace. Keep doing what you're doing

too slowly. There's too much time where not much is happening

slowly at times, quickly at others. (Explain what you mean)

Anyway, ghost description is in OP, character sheets for you goons will go on the first page of the IC thread as soon as I can figure out which of you is which. Just so you know, you don't have crystals to start, but hopefully you'll find some soonish.

[Samarkand]

Ghosts are in. Can now post actions fitting of their race.

As for Playergamer, is your latest action because you want the remaining knife to be used for melee? I'm trying to figure out how to deal with that action

[Playergamer]

Yeah.

[Samarkand]

Yeah.

Okay, it'll roll a 1d5 for damage, and have a fairly low durability. I assume that suits you well enough.

[Playergamer]

Yep.

How does the 30% - 5%*(10 - Int) Charge loss chance work if we don't have an intelligence score?

It's Intuition.

[The Froggy Ninja]

So currently the chance per turn is 40% which has a 1 in 6 chance of being reduced every growth session after the first?

[Samarkand]

Yeah, but that's actually not that high when you consider the fact that I didn't put a cap on your ability to store it. Given you don't have any stones to use right now, you can steal energy and stockpile it for the future when you can spend it, and when you'll have a higher chance to steal. Additionally, since you only have one stat I wanted to make sure it had a steep benefit.

[Samarkand]

Also, it's not truly a 1 in 6 chance, since multiple options are offered every time you grow.

Spoiler: Character Growth (click to show/hide)

The value of every action roll (but only the first roll in a series to determine the outcome of a bout in combat) will be added to the growth meter of the character. This represents the percent chance of growth, which will be evaluated every time the characters return to the inn from a contract. Growth meter then resets to 20.
When growth happens a d6 will determine how many options you are given. Each option will then result in a d6 roll where
1,2 = new skill
3,4 = skill upgrade
5 = combine multiple skills into one composite skill. Tell me which skills you want combined and I’ll tell you what you could get for them.
6 = increase a stat

Well since there is a 1 in 6 chance of rolling a 6 and we only have one stat... Also I realize that it's not that high I was just asking to make sure I didn't fail at very basic math on the internet again.

It's higher than that because you have 1d6 number of options, and a 1/6 chance on each. The odds are actually a little complex to calculate, but as a rough estimate you have an average of 3.5 options, and a 1/6 chance to get a skill growth from each, so you have roughly a 3.5/6 chance of getting a stat, which are good odds. ((Note, this quick estimation is not precise, and is likely a mild overestimation, but I can try to calculate the true chance if you like.))

[Samarkand]

First column is d6 for number of options, second column is chance that you get a stat option.
1 -> 1 - 5/6 = 1/6
2 -> 1 - (5/6)^2
3 -> 1 - (5/6)^3
4 -> 1 - (5/6)^4
5 -> 1 - (5/6)^5
6 -> 1 - (5/6)^6

P(stat growth) = (6 - 5/6 - (5/6)^2 - (5/6)^3 - (5/6)^4 - (5/6)^5 - (5/6)^6)/6 = 44.57%
while I had estimated 3.5/6 = 58.33%

I approve of the ghost concept, because I can continue to be a troll, and be role appropriate.

*Ghost high-five*

* Spirit returns high-five.

Quick question about charge mechanics: Currently, we'll be starting with 8 Int, so: 30% - 5%*(10 - 8) = 30% - 5%*2 = 30% - 10% = 20%
But, when our Int goes up, by two, lets say: 30% - 5%*(10 - 10) = 30% - 5%*0 = 30% - 0% = 30%
If we bump it up to 12: 30% - 5%*(10 - 12) = 30% - 5%*-2 = 30% + 10% = 40%

So the chance that we loss a charge goes up as we get better? This doesn't sound right. Also, I don't get how we can effectively stockpile charges if they can decay every turn. Unless, by turn, you mean unit of job length.
