Derp!

[kj1225]

I'm starting to think Ian got snubbed with his base damage being 1d4. And never getting anything to add to his gauntlets.

[Sanure]

Literally everyone's base damage without a weapon is 1d4.

After RWBY plot, you will have stuff to upgrade your gauntlet with, maybe, possibly.

@Shade, This plot* is not really a plot but more of a diversion until player plots start. so... Literally it will still be here when you all get back

[Powder Miner]

Sanure, where are Chryssa and the others IC right now?

[Twinwolf]

They're at the school, having just been told to leave. The school is apparently now on hold indefinitely as the principal and a teacher are dead and another teacher is missing.

[Powder Miner]

That much I've read, I'm trying to figure out where in the school.

[Sanure]

They were in a headmaster's office, as that's where the PA system is.

[BlitzDungeoneer]

woo

possible character interaction

[Powder Miner]

Oh, well, hmm, that makes things kinda difficult, seeing as that's one place they WOULDN'T be likely to just run into someone, seeing as it's a private office

[Twinwolf]

Were. They left, now. Might run into him on the way to the transports to go home?

[Powder Miner]

Oh, yeah, that certainly works.

• Spilled Essence (Passive): Alanis' blood is infused with magic, all SYN-based actions get a bonus proportional to the amount of health Alanis has lost the previous turn. This will function even if the damage has incapacitated Alanis.
  
• Reactive Armor (Passive): When an attack breaks a Kinetic Shell, the bursting spell is reformed into a surge of magic, striking the foe who broke it with a Kinetic Slam.
  
• Essence Storm (Active): Limit Break. Using the magic in her own spilled blood, Alanis performs one final spell with a high SYN buff. This may only be performed when she is rendered Unconscious, and can only be used once per battle.
  
  • v2.0: Limit Break. Desperate to assist, even in her wounded state, Alanis uses the magic in her own spilled blood to perform one final spell with a high SYN buff. This may only be performed when she is Stabilized, and can only be used once per battle.

• Preemptive Counter (Active): Alanis uses Magesight to target a single foe. Should they use a Magical attack this turn, Alanis rapidly reverse-engineers it and fires her copy of their own spell at them before they themselves have even finished casting. The copied attack is still performed. 1 Turn Cooldown.

• Enchantment Compatibility (Passive) Alanis' magical power leaks into her equipment powering them up. Increases the stat bonuses conferred by magical equipment.
  
• Assualt Armor (Active) A trick that requires a Kinetic Shell to work. Alanis pumps a damaging spell into it, destroying the Kinetic Shell, in a magical detonation. The spell used deals increased damage and is considered a Melee Area of Effect.
  
• Smothered Mate (Passive): When attacking an enemy at low health, Alanis hijacks its magical resistances against it, making its RES increase damage taken from her attack instead. Leveling up this action raises the activation threshold.
  
• Potentially Yandere (Passive): Alanis doesn't take kindly to foes attacking her love interest. Her attacks become more powerful if she is targeting a foe who damaged It The Embraces the previous turn. Every time this is leveled up, the boost is increased and the adjective increases in certainty.
  

So, which ones need rebalancing? :3

....
get out

[Empiricist]

What's wrong with wanting a bit more variety in actions beyond just "attack for X with Y chance of effect Z?" ;p

[Powder Miner]

I had a big ol' response made and then I got ninja'd

khaaaaan

[Empiricist]

Hey Fish, what spell does Alanis use the most often? I've just been assuming it's Kinetic Shell/Kinetic Slam. Also, is Gravity Well an application of Wormhole or is it considered a separate ability? For Crushing Embrace, I assumed the latter.
