Come to think of it, I don't see any critical rules set down anywhere. Should I define in my sheet somwhere what a critical would consist of?

[Empiricist]

OP's horrifically outdated. Every time you attack, a random number in the range [1,20] is computed. If it's 20 or higher, the attack deals double damage. A percentage bonus such as 25% will make a roll of 16 or higher count as a critical for example, (since the check would become if(1.25*random(1,20) >= 20)).

[Chevaleresse]

I see. So pretty much like DnD's criticals, then. Is there anywhere where a comprehensive list of mechanics is written down?

Also, I've refrained from putting a lot of numbers down for fear of an imbalanced character, shoukd I expect the GM to set these or just pick a reasonable number and roll?

Apologies for the barrage of questions, btw.

I'll be compiling one fairly soon, if all goes to plan today.

I'll be setting them, or San will if he's around.

[Empiricist]

That should be the OP. But again as mentioned, it's rather outdated, I mean, for instance that list of settings in it not only risks scaring off potential players with the (semi-mistaken) prospect of a weeabo-fest, most of them aren't actually used. Furthermore it fails to mention that CON can be used as an offensive stat, STR and INT can be used for "save or suffer" effects, INIT only uses base DEX without taking non-dedicated bonuses into account and various other important details.

Try giving some numbers. Some of the players (namely Sl4cker and Elf) are often helpful in reviewing those. Oh and if your numbers do get accepted, push higher and higher, get the best numbers you can, because the GMs tend to accept anything that isn't overpowered but often fail to warn anyone if their actions are underpowered.

Here's the update with criticals.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Well, we now have regular internet after our old Internet provider came through and fixed the Hub.

If you guys can compile all GM decisions that were made (including revisions), I'll type them up.

[Empiricist]

On it. Don't forget to nerf Alanis and reconsider the bonus of Ian's Semblance Perk.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

*shows picture of Alanis' sheet*
*picture has many knives stuck in it*

yes

[Chevaleresse]

Hm. Maybe I'll go edit in some numbers...

[Empiricist]

Wow, you two did not make this easy. In future, either immediately put your ruling in some sort of record, or tag it with something like a reserved keyword so that it turns up in searches. There's probably more, but here's the ones I've found:

• Diplomacy and Criticals
  
• Transformations are permitted
  
• Transformations make Elf cry
  
• Lobotomized is not a valid Status Effect
  
• Magic Lock is a valid Status Effect
  
• Bundled Actions require a reason. Though now I think it's changed to just being flat-out disallowed
  
• It is not permissible to upgrade an Action twice in one Level Up
  
• INIT does not benefit from DEX bonuses, only dedicated INIT bonuses, USEC now has an urge to stab him
  

Miscellaneous Resources/Rants

• Hero NPCs
  
• Twi wants Freeform
  
• Empi becomes more grating than usual

1d16 for the Gunlance, 1d12 for the shield and 3 RES for the armour. Also, you'll want a RES/CON boosting item, not CON/SYN for a tank.

[Empiricist]

Note that CON-based damage, INT-based damage, and "save or suffer" versus STR or INT are Precedents rather than Rulings. So those don't have an explicit GM's verdict save for approving such Actions.

[Chevaleresse]

She's sort of a hybrid Tank/Support/Crit character, she relies on SYN a lot and has high RES to begin with. I'm basing the doll stats on her Syn, to give you an idea. I almost had her armor scaling her RES up, but ended up deciding that having 3+ stats boosted would be a bit much.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Also, if you're having two stats boosted, I'd halve the stat gain to balance it out. 1 per 2 levels should be enough.

[Empiricist]

Anything decided for the Summoning Update yet? As in just something general such as whether or not Signatures will be used, or if Action Level of Stats determine summon statbases, because that could help out a lot here.
