I suppose that's correct.

[Akroma]

why easy if you can do it complicated?

[USEC_OFFICER]

Yeah, that's the only explanation I can think of right now. Of course a mechanic could exist that somehow works off of the stats affected but, well, we have no way of knowing that now.

[Projeck37]

There are no list of classes. Just put down a desired "class" name and then GMs will help figure out what you want and tell you what to roll for your HP, AP, and SP stats.

As for the additions you see, that's part of your "class perk." No, this isn't predetermined, but it technically falls under it. You have +5 total stat points that you can put on any of your most important stats. But on the downside, you also have -5 you can put on your non-important stats. These can be distributed as you like on the respective stats.

As for the additions to HP, AP, and SP.
You get a bonus to your HP for 10% of your CON stat, rounded up if it has .5 or above in the decimal place.
You get a bonus to your AP for 10% of your STR stat, again rounded.
You get a bonus to your SP for 10% of your WIS stat, again rounded.

Anything I didn't touch on? And please do try to keep it to 1 questions at a time per person. Makes it easier for me.

What's the point of this? You can distribute your stats as you want at the beginning of the game so... You can just put extra points into the unimportant stats that'll carry over to the important stats, making it entirely pointless from a mechanical standpoint.

Spoiler: Melinda Pendragon / Code-Name: Skyflame (click to show/hide)

Name: Melinda Pendragon / Code-Name: Skyflame
Age: 16 / 16
Gender: Female / Female
Description/Appearance: Melinda / Skyflame
Background: Through Melindas blood curses a heritage older than can be traced with accuracy. It is only with the reapparance of magic in this world, and perhaps fate or random circumstance, that it has manifested thick enough to be noticable. Doctors worldwide were unable to answer the question how her natural body temperature of 50°C is not killing her, until a breakout eventually had occultists, rather than doctors, take a look at her. Her draconic nature instantly attracted attention - all the wrong kind of attention. Her father already being a general in the US-Army, it was only natural that all this...talent did not go to waste, as Melinda was shaped into something monstrous. First in the middle east and africa, then against the layar, Melinda has seen many armed conflicts, and took it about as well as any sixsteen-year-old would take it. Her overly callous behaviour that at can hardly just be called tomboy-ish anymore and gallows humor is nothing more than a coping mechanism, as nights are restless and times of peace only feel...weird. Like you don't really belong here, you are just pretending. How can you just walk away from all that? But she did, and currently is trying to cope.

Positive effects(7):
Heal:3 - Instantly heals Skyflame for 3d4+Will health

Hinder:2 -those affected gain a -2 on their next roll.

It was Sanure's idea, so I am unsure?
I believe they're used in some situations, but not in others. I could be wrong on this, and I wish you could get skype calls in a log like you do the SMS because of this

[IamanElfCollaborator]

It was Sanure's idea, so I am unsure?

Well shit.

[Projeck37]

Skyflame

Power:
Melinda: none
Skyflame:
Dragons flame [SP]: There are few materials, even among modern ones, that can withstand the flame of a dragon. Flesh and metal alike kneels to it.
Dragons Blood [AP]: The fortitude of a dragon is legendary. Scales that need a poet, rather than a scientist to explain, and regeneration that no biology would explain are but examples of it.

Is it just me or does Melinda look like she just had some good drugs?

[USEC_OFFICER]

I wouldn't know, since the images aren't loading for me.

[Akroma]

KJ said those were the stat in question, halved.




also, why would these be chosen at random? That's stupid, what if you get only like 1 health? you need 10 statpoints to increase that. I think we should be able to choose what the numbers are, rolling on something like health seems ust silly. No matter how tanky you build, if you roll just 1 HP, all for naught

[Akroma]

Okay, regarding the clarification of the stats stuff, From what I understand from talking to Sanure about making my sheet last night, you first choose a class and the three most important stats it has, then you choose one stat that's most important to it, in the case of my sheet this was Con, Str, and Agi, with Strength being the most important. The most important stat gets +1 every level besides the 5 total points to the three most important stats. The other three stats you take a total of five points from.
For your HP, SP, and AP you roll 1d8, 1d6, and 1d10, respectively. Then, you add half your stat points from Con, Str, and Wis to your HP, AP, and SP, respectively, rounding up if you have .5 or over. Of course, this is all based off of my sheet so I don't know if it's the same for everyone.

If I roll dice and then add half my stat, my values should be even higher. But yeah, stuff is confusing as shit.

[kj1225]

I mean, to be fair in games where you roll for stats most GMs have it so that the first level's points are always the full allotment. And if someone only gets 1 HP that's the way the cookie crumbles.

[Projeck37]

Well the GMs were going to take care of that, to make sure nothing like 1 HP happens on something like a tank. Also you'd only need 5 constitution at least to raise it by 1 point, as a note, since it rounds up.

Also, yes, we are aware of the "stupidity" of this. Kevak made that clear already. And as I've said: I will talk to Sanure (and Elf, but mainly the former) about this. For now, just make character sheets and put nothing for the HP, AP, and SP. If you already have something there, keep it momentarily.
