[Insanegame27]

Was he? I only skimmed through what I missed b/c exams.

A wasp could sting your lizard, paralyse it for life, implant its babies in your lizard's abdomen, then the babby wasp would eat your lizard from the inside out, avoiding major organs to keep your lizard alive as long as possible. The Aliens in AvP? Wasp rip-offs.
Wasps are a lot scarier if you know this.

[S34N1C]

What if the lizard's skin is too thick?

[piratejoe]

Insane, wasps only do that to other bugs as far as I know. Also Lizard skin is usually tough.

A few character concepts I came up with because of Dexters impending doom I was bored. Let me know what you think.

Arcanism>Illusion>control of perception?
Arcanism>??>light

Some kind of master-of-illusion character. Wasn't quite sure how to phrase the spells. First one is just creating general illusions, second is control of light.
Occultism>transport>portal
Arcanism>transport>blink

Extremely mobile guy. Wasn't sure what the school would be called though.
Occultism>buff>stat
Occultism>healing>close wound

Similar in function to Regon, but less shamany. Again, not sure how to phrase it.
Sharpshooting
Weapons
Stealth(maybe)

Terran sniper.
Arcanism>Elemental>wind
Arcanism>Elemental>earth
Martial arts(maybe)

Inspired by Avatar the Last Airbender. Basically an Airbender and an earthbender at the same time. Probably a monk.

[KaineFisher]

Sounds interesting, but you'll have to keep terrain and enemies in mind.

Based on what I know about Gaia, the missions will likely be more about force and magic than precision and stealth.

[Kuma]

Yeah I haven't really used stealth in the game. Maybe it'll be more useful later on but if we're doing more missions like this in the future only high level stealth would be even somewhat considered.

True. Though we do have a number if magic users already. We could probably use someone who could take out targets at range, though I admit I have only ever seen one instance where the enemy even could be sniped.

Inspired by Avatar the Last Airbender. Basically an Airbender and an earthbender at the same time. Probably a monk.

Would be Illusion>Type of Perception. (Sight, Sound, Emotion, Taste, Light, and so on)


Would be Arcanic>Shift
Rift>Plane of Existence of your choice (Water, Fire, Darkness, Cheese, Bean Dip, Valhalla, Frozen Hell, and so on)
Voidic>Fade


Buff>Stat isn't really plausible. Magic is conceptual. Anything can theoretically induce buffs if you use it right.

You'd want Biomancy>Mending for the most direct route of healing. But stuff like Elementalism>Life or Shamanism>Growth can invoke healing.


You'd want Heavy Arms if I recall. All the snipers be Heavy Arms. (Maybe one Medium Arms one)


Elementalism>Wind
Elementalism>Earth

Both would work. You could throw in something like martial arts if you really wanna pull an Airbender style thing.

Yeah I haven't really used stealth in the game. Maybe it'll be more useful later on but if we're doing more missions like this in the future only high level stealth would be even somewhat considered.

All skills are situational. Stealth is Very useful if used right.

[S34N1C]

Buff>stat was just a generalization. That character would be extremely similar to Regon, spits pretty low on my list of priorities.

The idea of the combat monk is really growing on me.

Backstory:
Vhan grew up in the midst of a Kobold/Goblin war. At the age of three Vhan was put to work making traps and at the age of 9 was planting them on the frontlines. Learning to sneak past patrols and get past most locks Vhan quickly became a veteran trapper. At age 15 the war had ended. Vhan continued to work for the clan until the age of 20 where a trap went wrong killing many members of the clan. Vhan was exiled and ended up working for Akras. The first squad Vhan was apart of were all killed on the first mission. A wave of fire came rushing at the squad. Vhan was certain of death, and closed their eyes as flames licked their skin. Vhan woke up just outside the castle, their ability saved them without them even knowing. Vhan hopes to someday return to the clan as a hero of the gates.

*Net Traps:
        Circular shape 8" in diameter, 2" in height, and weights 5lbs. Uses a lightweight nanoweave net and small metal balls. When stepped on or disturbed the trap will release a large net in a spiraling motion meant to engulf the target and twist itself closed so said target has a hard time escaping . If the target is too big the trap can also work in the same way bolas do tying the targets feet together tripping it up.

Newly updated sheet which includes the traps and a description of said traps, as well as the pistol Vhan is using.

Backstory:
Regon grew up in a shamanic village at the base of a World Tree. As the son of the Tribes head shamans, Regon learnt to speak the the forest at a young age and was tasked with protecting the forest and regrowing the fading parts of it. As one of the few peaceful Orc tribes, they worked together with a nearby Elf village to maintain and protect one of the last World Trees, because of this Regon had learnt to get along with Elves rather than the common theme of orcs clashing with them. After Akras had trouble approaching the World Tree because of the hostile fauna, Regon was sent as an emissary to meet with them.

Description:
As an orc that grew up near a major source of shamanic energy, Regon grew to a hulking 8'3, his skin is coloured in a dark green and is covered in blood red shamanic runes used for growth rituals. His long black hair and beard is styled in classic braids native to shamanic culture.

[S34N1C]

Ok, so I was playing around designing my Airbender character and I had a question about this racial ability for Gaian humans

[non-explosive, medieval era weapon] 1/2/3: The importance of combat is taught to all children from a young age; young children commonly play in the streets with wooden swords or spears. Women are less combat-oriented, but are expected to be able to at least hunt with a bow at a young age.

What does this mean in terms of melee skill? Do they get discounts?

[~Neri]

They just get a couple free points in a chosen melee skill. No discount.
