That makes sense enough.

There's probably more stuff that needs to be dealt with, so give me a second.

Bloodclaw:Give an actual movement boost, I'd say up to half the level of the ability in squares, and raise the dice to 2d4+stat.

Throatripper:Has a 1-turn cooldown.

Scale Plates:Flat +2 RES.  Note the total RES in [] or ().
Moon Shards:Note total SYN in the statblock.
Gen Seeds:2d4+3 healing.

You can only have 2 Perks, 1 Flaw.

Okay, go.

[DAPARROT]

Level: 1

HP:21
Init: +4

Stats
Constitution:1
Dexterity:4
Intelligence:4

if not, just ignore this

[TheBiggerFish]

DAPARROT:Make it +1 DEX/level.  And then redistribute a point, because otherwise you wasted one.

Also, your backstory is kind of...Weird, and also really, really lacking...

====

Moonlit:No, no, no, a Basic Action cannot be a passive!  Change your Basic Defense.

Bloodclaw:You have to move BEFORE the attack.

I will note, your backstory will expose you to prejudice from the student body.

[TheBiggerFish]

You don't naturally have dodge.  This is a bit of a problem, considering your Basic Defense.  I suggest just going the 'block 2d4+STAT' route, or giving a dodge chance based on DEX.

Spoiler: Miracles are real! (WIP) (click to show/hide)

Name: Rustle Jimmy Wilson
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Sex: Male
Race: Seattleite
Appearance: (What do you look like? If you have alternate forms, their appearances should go here.)
Personality: (What are you like?  And why are you here for that matter?)

Level: 1

HP: 20+[2*1] = 22
Init: 4+1d20 at the start of each combat.

Stats: [8 + 4*(1) = 12]
Constitution: 2
Dexterity: 3
Intelligence: 0
Resistance: 2
Strength: 1
Synergy: 4

Perks: QB Tactician - Grants Rustle Willson exclusive access to The Playbook. The Playbook holds the information to secret formations that, when formed by the players, grants overall bonuses to the party as a whole dependent on which formations are activated. The Playbook starts with 5 Formations and gains 2 new formations everytime Rustle levels up.

Affinities: Leadership - Elusiveness - Piety

Actions [AP: 6/6]:

Basic Attack: Bullet - Rustle throws a teal spherical-shaped mass of magical energy that explodes on contact with a target. 2d4+SYN Damage.

Basic Defense: Slide - Rustle temporarily breaks the laws of friction and slides along the ground out of the way of an attack. 2d4+RES Defense.

Bomb [Level 1] - Rustle lobs a teal spherical-shaped mass of magical energy that creates an area-of-effect explosion, damaging all characters in a 3x3 raidus by 2d4+SYN/(# of Targets) damage. Bypasses walls and obstacles.

Miracle Water [Level 1] - Rustle hands an ally a bottle of Miracle Water that instantly cures a Physical Ailment.

Pocket Protection [Level 1] - Rustle gains additional RES equal to 25% of the RES of the character with the highest RES in a 3-tile radius of himself.


Inventory:

Weapon: Football - A glowing teal football that can change its dimensions, almost like a fluid. Explodes on contact with target. 2d4+SYN damage.

The Holy Bible - Upon first glance, it looks like a typical, well-used travel-sized Bible. Inside it has the text of the Old and New Testaments, but more interestingly it also holds additional gospels not seen in the standard version of the text, as well as sections in languages such as Latin and Ancient Chinese, and some languages that aren't even identifiable. +2 SYN.

Golden Cross Necklace - On Rustle at all times. Occasional pulses with a faint aura. 10% Evasion.

The Playbook - The item that allows Rustle to access various Plays/Formations. It's a manifestation instead of a completely physical objection, so it can disappear and appear at will, and Rustle has complete physic control over it. If it is destroyed, it is uneffected and Rustle can simple cause it to reappear again.

[TheBiggerFish]

Why does everyone think DEX does things for defensive purposes if not specifically implemented?

[TCM]

Intuitive common sense I guess.

[DAPARROT]

Ok, done.

Spoiler: Screechwing (click to show/hide)

name:Screechwing
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Sex: Male
Race: sentient parrot(non-anthropomorphic)
Appearance: large dark blue macaw(see my avatar)
Personality: easily startled and slightly antisocial, he was a bit of an outcast from his flock due to his much greater intelligence, and ended up hanging around cities, learning more about humans. However, he was noticed and captured by people who wished to turn him into a living weapon, training him in demolitions and first aid, and discovering his magical aptitude. Screeching did not like what they were doing to him though, and begin to plan an escape. He found Voidlight Academy when looking for a safe place to go, hopefully at a place where he would fit in.

Did this ever become a thing that is happening? Or is it still being planned and stuff? Curious because of..."reasons". Not signing up right now because I'd probably just slow stuff down anyway. Just curious.

EDIT: Made a few spreadsheets in case anyone wanted them. Will post link in around 30 minutes. Also, what does ALVL mean?

EDITEDIT: Link is up. I'll add TBF as soon as I can, they control it from there.

We had some latecomers so it seems that it will be taking a little longer to start.

[chaotic skies]

Oh okay. Either way, spreadsheet because I like spreadsheets and I was bored.

[Darth Jefe]

ALVL= Ability Lvl if I remember correctly.

[Chevaleresse]

Hohkay. . .
Personality and such, to be frank, strike me as slightly suish, but Fish seems to be fine with it. Like he said though, being a known killer isn't exactly going to endear you to people.

Perks:
Summons: needs some actual flavor behind it, or at least it would be greatly appreciated if it did. Why does she have the ability to summon things? Is it a companion-type or minion-type? That sort of thing.
Ruthless: Change this to (Level)d2 extra damage on all attacks.
Paranoia: Needs to be more specific. I would recommend a penalty based on proximity to allies, and more significant than -1 or -2. The less restrictive it is, the stronger the penalty needs to be.

Actions:
Shadowmeld needs an actual formula for the dodge. I recommend 3*DEX%.
Throatripper is fine.
Deathgleam should be merged with her basic attack.
Bloodclaw is a bit weak. Change it to (ALevel)*2.
You need an actual summoning action.

Inventory:
Scale Plates should be specified as being permanently attached, and as such should -probably- scale with your level. I recommend +1 RES/level, but otherwise they look fine to me. Just don't complain when they're useless later.
Moon Shards: See above. You have no Moon perk, you have a Moon affinity, which is basically the kind of magic you're good at.
Gen Seeds: You get one or two, not enough to have a full healing action without investing the AP.

Summons:
Not liking the fact that it's just a basic attack bot, and hits as hard as a player no less. Nerf the damage slightly.

@DAPARROT: Looks okay for the most part, if a bit sparse to me. You're missing a Basic Defense, though, and Favorable Winds should affect your next turn as well..

[TheBiggerFish]

Summons:MURDOC, WE DON'T HAVE THOSE.

Ruthless:Oh heck no you do not get additional leveld2.  Additional +level.

Paranoia is specific enough, Murdoc.  If the action is cooperative, she takes a penalty.  Might make that if she attacks someone after someone else, too, but I'm not really sure.  If she is next to someone, she takes a penalty.

E:Okay, neither of the above are valid till we iron some stuff out.

DAPARROT, though, those are valid.  Mostly.

[DAPARROT]

ok, will post updated character sheet here later.

how does dodging work, and is it acceptable as a basic defense?
