[IronyOwl]

Well I may be an unarmored punch monkey in direct combat, but holy crap can I heal. And that armor, hehehehehehe...

[~Neri]

So is the game full or is there still room?

[IronyOwl]

Current roster is full, but there's a waitlist and we're likely to die savagely.

Less so while I'm around, of course. :3

[Nirur Torir]

IronyOwl's Nil has been elected leader. _{(50% of the possible votes, with no dissenting voice for a few hours.)}

While I try to think of an interesting leadership bonus to give to a healbot, feel free to choose your two new minions. You're not limited to current sign-ups, if you want to request that someone take a specific role.

Half-Elven Night Ranger
HP: 5/5
Level 1: 2 more battles until level-up.

Ranged Attack: 1d5+1 damage, 5 hex range
Defense: 2phys/1mag

Misc1: None.

Abilities:
2x/dungeon: Owl's Vision - Darkness only. Grants +1 ranged damage and may see foes hiding in darkness. Lasts until end of battle. Dispelled by bright light, with a debilitation penalty.

Spoiler: Note to Harbingerjm (click to show/hide)

You start with two weasels. Your mount is male, and you have a pregnant female (for the genetic variety). You'll generally be able to get one litter every time you stay behind while others go adventuring, if you buy special magic herbs of quickened development. You may find or buy even more magical plants to grant the offspring extra stats.

Your mount's HP and attack don't matter unless you dismount and have it fight separately. As your HP drops below your natural value, you'll have a rapidly increasing chance for your mount to absorb all or part of the blow and die when you get hit. A particularly devastating blow might kill it even if you were mostly healthy.

On level-up, you may choose skills that let you command your weasels as minions in battle. You'll still need to bring them, of course. You may bring your mount for 'free,' and bring two weasels for each 'person' slot. If you use expensive teleport items to return, you and your mount use the same one, but you'll need another for each extra weasel you bring back.

Separate weasels fight in groups of two (as a single unit), take a combat slot from a person (while not getting xp), and may be used as packmules to bring back more loot. You generally won't have perfect control over them unless you've spent time specifically training them for better control.

Excellent! I promise to be a benevolent and just iron-fisted tyrant.

My first act will therefore be to select additional minions based on wanton bribery and sniveling cronyism character quality and the needs of our [Palpatine]merry little band.[/Palpatine]

I always knew letting healers rule would end poorly.

For your guild bonus, I'm thinking of a +15% regen bonus to everybody after each battle.

[IronyOwl]

For your guild bonus, I'm thinking of a +15% regen bonus to everybody after each battle.

That could be neat, especially if it rounded up.


For additional minions, I'm strongly leaning towards the necromancer and the leprechaun.

[RangerCado]

Looks good. Thanks Nirur.

[Nirur Torir]

IronyOwl, choose a third. I want to drop Darkpaladin from the game, since he still hasn't responded to my complaints about his character sheet after more than 24 hours and was recently not responding in other games he was in.

Darkpaladin, if you're even still reading this thread, you have until IronyOwl posts a third to convince me to keep you in this game.

[IronyOwl]

I feel bad about darkpaladin, but I guess my choice for third would be Nebrar, EagleV's gnomish alchemist.

[Nirur Torir]

Hopefully I'll have the character sheets done by tonight. Then two to three days for art, depending on my mood and how many people draw their own character tiles, before we start.

If you're drawing your own picture, please try to have it done within the next 40 hours or so.

Also, only the dwarven battlesmith, probably the veteran of a civil war, rolled the 20% chance to start at level 3.

[Rolepgeek]

Hahahaha YESSS! It's like a thematic crit, only better.

[GiglameshDespair]

Suppose I'd be waitlisted now?

[Varee]

Me too i guess

[Nirur Torir]

Suppose I'd be waitlisted now?

Me too i guess

There is no waitlist. Make at least a basic character sheet. The guild leader chooses from the pool of applicants when there's room.

Before a battle, you may choose a tactical leader. If unspecified, I'll go with whoever had it last, a random character with a leadership skill, IronyOwl, or a random character, in that order. Currently, only Rolepgeek has one (+1 non-magical damage). Only a character actually in the battle may lead. You'll randomly unlock a leadership skill if you lead enough battles. It'll go faster if you're actually strategizing. You may upgrade the skill the same way, or by upgrading it at level-up. (They are somewhat limited by level, and don't develop very quickly, so don't expect him to make mages able to outfight elite swordsmen anytime soon.)

Some spells will obviously not work on certain targets. I'm not noting that, say, "Bone Fragmentation" does not work on boneless creatures like slimes. If you're uncertain, feel free to ask.

Tier 1 items cost 4 gold. Subsequent tiers multiply by 2 (4, 8, 16, etc). This is the base price, and will have random fluctuations. Consumables (discounting arrows and Scrolls of Return) tend to come in stacks of 5.

Different enemies will behave differently - A tank will have a much easier time baiting mindless undead or animals than a row of elven casters, and you probably won't want to leave your level 1 casters next to that grove of trees if you're fighting bandity sorts.
