Oh god it's the opposite of Linda.

[Sanure]

And now I'm going to ship them. Thanks Projeck.

Spoiler: Tizian Blake (click to show/hide)

Name: Tizian Blake

Age: 17

Description: A flighty boy, relatively average or even slightly below, a bit more frail-looking than most, who inherited some kind of strange power (a shard of Shys'm Caes) which enhanced his body's natural magical energy, making it both incredibly potent and also hard to control, meaning that though high, his internal reserves of mana are smaller than most other dedicated magic users.

Stats: 120/120
Health: 10
Mana: 16
Speed: 10
Skill: 10
Strength: 8
Magic: 50 (because callbacks)
Defence: 8
Resistance: 8

Equipment: Spell-impregnated gloves and Jacket (magic Foci)

Ability: Basically your magic. See the magic spoiler for information.
Examples: Program Magic - Channels magic through magical 'circuits' embedded in his gloves, casting spells through 'glyphs' which can either be drawn or simply called from the gloves' internal storage, depending on how often the spells are used.

Negligible:

Air Hike - Creates a glyph under the caster's feet that hardens the air, allowing them to preform what is essentially a Double Jump.

Link - Cancel the effects of a spell, then apply these effects to the next spell cast.

Flare - A bolt of basic magical energy, deals non-elemental damage.

Small:

Chain Fire - Fires three bolts that do no damage on their own.

Aim Assist - Fires a bolt that automatically tracks its target and does no damage on its own.

Medium:

Pierce Shot - Fires a bolt that passes through enemies until it hits a wall or other impediment. Does no damage on its own.

Spread Shot - Fires a spray of bolts throughout an area. Does no damage on its own.

Soul Charge - Deals 50% higher damage. Has no base damage.

Big:

Gran Grenade -  Fires an explosive shot with no base damage over a huge area.

Enormous:

Tempest Shot -  Makes an attack against every hostile you can see. Deals no base damage.

Gigantic:

Origin Channel - Attack deals Almighty damage (ignores all strengths/absorbs/immunities as well as both artificial (armor) and innate (attribute) resistances.\

Perks?

I - Respire Essence: When not at full Mana, Tizian has a small (DC 10 mag) chance to regain a single point of Mana each time he takes an action.

V - Creative Spells: their reality bolstered by the energy of Creation, Tizian's spells are much harder to dispel than most, doubling the target number of any effect attempting to dispel them and forcing a roll even when such a roll would not normally be required.

If base damage means what I think it means (no damage boosts), it's fine.

Hehe, I see what you are going for Rag, very interesting concept, basicaly linking spells until you have a custom shot specificaly for the target, and then almost one-shot them.


But I think I see a problem here, not a balance problem, but something that will just really spoil your fun with this character.
It takes a very long time to chain spells together, even if the Link spell would be a free action.


I dont see the point of the level 5 perk being "his spells are harder to dispell". From what I can see, almost everything he does is shoot bolts at the enemy, that have been buffed, rather than apply buffs/debuffs/enchants that would actually need to be dispelled. Why not make the level 5 perk the ability to cast both an attribute spell (since it seems those are the ones that cost mana anyway) and a negliable attack spell in the same turn, possibly at the cost of it costing more mana or being higher TN. Else you'd be stuck several turns doing nothing, just setting up.

Are you certain that that's a good idea, Sanure? Shipping Linda with someone whose head she can accidently crush like an overripe tomato?

[Sanure]

very wise Usec. IT is a very wise decision.

[USEC_OFFICER]

If you say so... It's just that at the first sign of affection blam! Tizian's brains are all over the floor.

Base Damage is the [mag+whatever] roll.

if a spell doesn't have a base damage, it does 0 damage regardless of modifiers.

basically he has to chain spells together to do anything more than a basic Flare.

I considered that, but I figured a perk that basically boiled down to 'takes 2/3 actions per action' would be op.

'S what I meant. You can either just jump in now, and try and help the group with their problems, or you can wait until this whole thing wraps up for a proper introduction. The latter might be a good idea, as the former may get you shot.

So what's your take on the perk thing?

[PrivateNomad]

Interesting, Lolgrammoth didn't call Barti's name.

[smurfingtonthethird]

So what's your take on the perk thing?

Up to you. You can take Akroma's perk idea, or use the one you currently have.

[ragnarok97071]

Did some edit to the profile, decided to use a variation on Ak's perk.

[PrivateNomad]

So is Tizian a spell machine gun or a spell capacitor?

'xactly do you mean by that?
