Hi Cado, I don't actually know you, but welcome back.
;P

[RangerCado]

I'm an off and on user of the forum. Nice to be back.

More like Selina "Gonna get bullied by Alria"
And to USEC_Officer:

And fair enough. Wasn't sure how strong or weak to make things.

Fair enough. No one really does, to be honest. We're mostly just winging it like usual. Which means that a lot of stuff will probably slip through the cracks.

From what I can see...
Dimension Shift needs some more clarification. Can you activate it to dodge an attack or what? It is instant? That sort of thing.
Same with Mass Barrier. Defining what constitutes her normal damage reductions would be very helpful for any GMs.
Triple Threat needs some numbers on it, to help definite exactly what it does.
Assassination needs some kind of limit/disadvantage on it, or if it already does that needs to be made more clear.

Also: All of the summons need to be hit with the nerfbat. I've talked with Sanure about this when he was thinking up the rules for the game. Summoning has always been a problem in these kinds of games, because it generally leads to people summoning a completely separate character and thus doubling their power/usefulness. It's no fun for everyone else if you get twice the HP, abilities and so on. As such your summons need to either be much weaker, or have some disadvantage to balance them out. Because right now they seem slightly less powerful than a regular character which is not balanced by any difficulties with summoning them. Hence why I would nerf them. _{I should probably ask for co-GMhood one of these days...}

And to USEC_Officer:
 

Hmm? What did I do?

[RangerCado]

Dimension shift is supposed to be an instant dodge but with a big downside if used more than once. I balanced the summons around having less actions and being very basic in general. Mass Barrier and barrier use my weapon and armor damage reductions. And the damages for everything are decided by the GMs so I didn't know what to do there.

[mcclay]

You know what you did. Or rather what I failed to do.

[Shadestyle]

I have several ideas, but they basically boil down to Selena not being able to act while a summon is out, and the summons having persistent damage that carries over to their token.

Yes. But how/when does Dimension Shift work? It's not clear from the sheet, and so some clarification is needed.

Also the summons having less actions doesn't make them weaker. It just makes them less flexible in combat. They can still deal out appreciable amounts of damage and soak up enemy attacks (taken together the five slimes have the most HP out of any other character). Plus when they die Selina can bust out another summon (or resummon them?). That hardly seems fair to everyone else playing.

You should put down what Mass Barrier does in your character sheet. It would be helpful.

As for the Damage part... Fair enough.

Ah. I see. _{And I was heartily amused by it.}

Not acting while a summon is out would be fine. But they would still need to be nerfed slightly, since Selina appears to be able to bust another summon out after the first one dies. If she throws them out one at a time, that's a lot of HP for her enemies to wade through. Of course they could also attack her, which is why I'm not suggesting drastic nerfs in that situation. In fact, if she got horrible debuffs while summoning then they could stand for a little buffing. Obvious point of failure and all that jazz.

[Shadestyle]

Hmm.

What about No actions while a summon is out, and takes true damage while the summon is out? So she is unavoidably vulnerable in some sense.

[Sanure]

I would do stuff, but I am squeeeing way to much right now to GM. CADO!!!!!!!! *glomps Cado*

[Shadestyle]

CADO QUICK JUMP INTO THE IC THREAD SO HE HAS TO FOLLOW YOU.

[USEC_OFFICER]

True damage? Which is...? What exactly? How is that different from regular damage?

Poor, poor Cado. Too cute and adorable for their own good. _{Not that I am complaining. Gives me a chance to break out the tentacles.}

[Sanure]

True damage is damage that can't be dodged or resisted. It's like Pure Damage, which ignores all forms of resistance.

[RangerCado]

Dang it... *is drowned in hugs* And Elf is gonna go even crazier. XD

[Sanure]

Ye own fault for not warning us :3c
