Dark Souls Emblem OOC: Praisin' ain't easy
« on: December 15, 2015, 05:15:56 pm »

IC HERE

It is said the fate of all men is forged in Truskhang.

Countless aeons ago, the Monarchs hammered the world upon the Anvil, beating the world into oceans and mountains, plains and forests. From the iron of the soil they made his flesh, and from the heat of the flame they made his soul. The world was filled with the kingdoms of humanity, but the True Kings remained in the first place they forged.

Truskhang.

They built towers of steel that reached to the heavens. Mighty works cried their glory to all who saw. The legions of the True Kings were glorious knights, unmatched in arms. The people were happy and well-fed, kind and wise. Above all were the glorious Monarchs.

All iron rusts. Long ago, the gates through the jagged mountains that surround Truskhang were sealed, and no more would men visit the kingdom of gods.

The Curse began in the kingdoms of men. The dead who would not die - that were doomed to lose themselves and their sanity, and feast on the souls of other men. The Curse struck without rhyme or reason - queens and beggars, knights and farmers all fell victim to the consuming shadow.

It has been countless years, and the world trembles at the encroaching dark. The fires of mankind gutter and fade. Some cry out for the gods to save them, but the Monarchs are silent. More and more, people find themselves branded with the vile mark of the Curse.

You are six such unfortunate souls.... only a grim future of eternal, mindless hunger awaits you - bar a thin, final hope.

The fate of all men is forged in Truskhang.

There, in the land of the True Kings, may you perhaps find another fate...


-----

What in Lordran is this?

This is a dark souls inspired fire emblem, of course.
It's mostly 1.3 but with a couple of additions.
You'll find the handbook here: Handbook 1.3

I'll be taking probably around six players. Possibly one or two more.
Not first come first serve.
You must have a mug. Ask for help if you can't make one yourself.
This is going to be a lot more open world than other fefs, so be ready for that. If you're going to disappear for long periods, this isn't a game for you.
The players cannot choose mounted classes. Well, you can, but you won't have any mounts.

Humanity

Humanity is, well, what makes you you, rather than a mindless Hollow.
You start with a certain amount. You won't know the precise number - instead, on your sheet will be a generalised signifier, i.e High, low, Almost Hollow, etc.
You can lose humanity various ways - most commonly, being downed.

When you run out of humanity, you turn Hollow, and become a mindless undead. The only thing to do is for your ex-allies to put you down.

Bonfires

When you kindle a bonfire, you may use an action to refill your estus flask at it, or heal the same amount you would if you used an estus flask. This costs nothing but time.
Later, you may be able to kindle a bonfire by spending humanity at it, to give a boost to the estus flask.

If you are downed, you lose a small amount of humanity. After three turns you lose a larger quantity of humanity, and respawn at the nearest lit bonfire.
If no bonfire is lit that map, you do not respawn until one is lit.

Estus
Instead of a vulnerary, you begin with a single-use estus, healing 10HP each use. This can be upgraded for each person in both number of uses and amount healed.

When is this starting?
In a while. Though the first map is complete, I need to make a lot of maps; for now I'm seeing if there's interest.

Other changes
Disarm is now cost.
Disarm only procs on attack.
Blossom has lost the exp penalty.
Canto can be taken as a free Character specific skill.
Ambush cannot trigger on consecutive turns.

In:
Rosalia [Twinwolf]
Damon [Sentient Bowtie]
Yilda [BMM42]
Sacha [Nerjin]
Alain [Tiruin]
Ariston [SC]
Iris [Dwarmin]

Arriving:

Unsummoned:

Out:

Of course, Twin is neither man nor woman but an unholy eldritch abomination like every other Bay12er. The difference is they hide it better.

I'm going to make a character for this. Actually I just need to make a bio, I already have a good mug (which borrows one of Gig's free-to-use helmets) and I'll be aiming for a General. Also a rip-off of Havel The Rock in terms of build, since heavy armor in mug (High DEF, maybe high RES) + Bludgeoning (Axes) is what I have in mind.

Well SerCon is going Knight, evidently. General promotes from Knight.

Yeah, I'm going Soldier Trainee -> Knight (picking Axes -> Bludgeoning) -> General. You could also be a Knight -> General if you wanted, you could just pick swords or lances instead so we cover different bases.

I think you'd be the first C&A duo in FEF history if you did :o

Seriously? In all of the FEFs in existence, nobody has ever partnered up like that?

...

I'm not surprised. People don't like to pick the duplicate classes after all, since it can be better to have the wider spread of abilities.

Hey, Giglamesh, question: Are there going to be any gameplay changes besides the ones listed in the OP?

Also: Are we going to have to make both human and undead versions of our mugs?
