If I run a plot people will either face a boss one on one or a boss and their minions versus two PCs.

That would be a rather weak boss then. Could be interesting though seeing as PCs are used to having numerical advantages in fights, though cover and whatnot would have to be provided lest it just turn into a damage race.

Nah, It'd mostly be a maze or labryinth or something like that. And bosses would be made to counteract PC's strong points.

Wouldn't that make the mortality rate for that really high?

Because if you fight someone that's made to fuck you over, you're probably going to get fucked over.

No mortalities actually. But there are consequences for failure...

So isn't it basically just Russian Roulette with five barrels loaded with bullets and the sixth one loaded with a mostly-not-functional-but-can-still-go-off bullet?

Since it's a damage race between a PC and the thing designed specifically to counter them.

Apologies for the doublepost. Submitting a stereotypical magical girl for player review and combat testing. Yes, she does come with a companion creature. Combat testing may take a while to set up since she's a healer until an enemy's HP gets under 50%.

Also, to pre-empt the question, Sacrificial Intervention will, if enough units are in range, chain into Sacrificial Renewal which will chain into Sacrificial Repair which will finally chain into Sacrificial Heal. No, that chaining process has no friend or foe identification, so if formations aren't ordered properly, enemies might end up getting healed or allies damaged.

Finally, her healing is not like Alice's or Sen's in that, it is a very bad idea to try stabilizing someone using it.

Spoiler: Mary Gardner/- (click to show/hide)
Edit: Forgot to give Arcane Solstice a slight regen effect for overheals which will likely happen seeing it anyone who gets healed from it still has to be above half health. Please check that Smurf, since it wasn't in the PM.

I was thinking of making a mechanics/gameplay testing RotMG thread, to clear up the mechanic-related clutter in here.

...Didn't we have a testing thread? I could have sworn we had one in v2.

So was Kyle actually dead, or was he nearly dead and just hiding somewhere to surprise people?

Hmm, might make one.

I also have urges to start a game similar to RotMG, which is more based on the Slice of Life side of it. Yay or nay?

I hope for his sake it was the latter, otherwise shitfight ensues.

I mean with either a minimum or no fighting, just magic and shenanigans. Hell, it could be in the same universe for extra lels.
