"-Mage trainee: starting weapons are Wind/Lightning/Worm." On other words, if you are planning to promote into a monk, you will need to start with a light subcategory. They made that change exactly because it made no sense for mage trainee always start with fire no matter what they were going to promote into. And changing weapons don't cost an action.

I'm starting with proficiency in Holy magic, then heading into Shaman to pick up proficiency in Dark magic as well. After that, I'll focus on Ancient Magic and Warding Magic, blasting foes with Ancient magic and then switching to Warding magic before the end of my turn to pick up those nice on-hit buffs.

Dude, I just explained that you need to pick the subcategory based on your promotion. On other words, if you are going for monk, you choose a light-based category, if you are going for shaman, you choose a dark-based one, if you are going for mage you choose an anima-based one. You can't have a shaman with both light or dark magic, or a mage with dark and anima. For example, if you are a trainee wanting to promote into monk, you start with light and then promote into monk, you don't start with dark or anima.

Could you give me a direct quote from the rules on that?

EDIT: To avoid conflict, I'll still change my sheet, but I'd still like to know.

even if it isn't strictly in the rules, it just makes sense, why would an aspiring anima mage be studying light magic to start with? It would be like my character starting with a horse that somehow becomes a wyvern when I promote

What if they were in training to become, say, a priest, then made a deal with the/a Devil (or other extraplanar being) to obtain skill in Dark magic?

Could I use my second Personal Skill (the one gained after reaching my First Class) to pick up an E rank in Light magic (as a Shaman), then?

No, I wouldn't allow this, and Solymr won't allow it either v:

What about an E rank in Warding magic?

Sereiously man, even I know that the classes are partially balanced by weapon access, please stop trying to game the system

Very well, then. I just wanted to know what my limits were.

[ATHATH]

Well, Danathor's ready.

What's our current party composition? Did anybody make a Thief yet?

[Haspen]

Also, why you're doubleposting? Is your modify button broken? :v

[Praefectus Screptum]

I also saw him triple-posting, go easy on the posting man. And if by your sheet is ready you meant the one in the first page, yeah. You might want to check again, for starter your personal fault is absurd. Usually faults include taking +2 damage of a class, or -15 hit penalty against a class, stuff like that(Also judgment weapon is a subcategory, if you were to fix that, it should be -15 evasion OR taking +2 damage when facing monk and promotions. Not both at the same time and by a large amount. Also that isn't a bio, I am very sure that is just the lyrics of a music.

Nope, I meant the second sheet.

Hello friends,

It's been sometime since I played a pbp or anything on the bay12 forums for that matter, but this rather quite caught my interest and unless I'm miscounting here there's still room for another novice?  If this is barging in unannounced my apologies, here's a character I made:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name:  Kazi
Mug: Image
Sprite:
Class: Swordsman Trainee->Myrmidon->Swordmaster
Character Skill: Wrath
Affinity: (leave this blank until I give you choices)
Personal Fault: Empathetic, if an allied character is reduced to zero HP foes gain +10 critical to attack her.
Personal Skills: Martyr Complex, when below 50% HP Kazi gains +2 Attack Skill.

Preferred Stats:  Skill, Speed

Weapon Profs:  Sword (E)

Total Level: (I fill this up)
Level/Tier: (I fill this up)

HP: 17 (+0) (50%)
STR: 2 (+0) (0%)
MAG: 5 (+0) (60%)
SKL: 4 (+0) (60%)
LCK: 2 (+0) (10%)
DEF: 0 (+2) (40%)
RES: 3 (+0) (50%)
SPD: 4 (+0) (60%)

CON: 4 (+2)
AID: 3 (5)
MOV: 4

Bio:
Kazi has wandered far from home in search of fulfilling her dream: to become the very best swordswoman.  The daughter of a humble merchant, she spurned a life of counting coins and courting an arranged marriage.  In love with romantic tales of heroism and daring-do, she bought a sword and set out to become the mistress of her own fate: a delusion of heroics clouding the realities of violence.  Soon, she may have to face the harsh realities of war--but for the moment she remains happy and excited to have embarked upon the path of the swordsman, hoping one day to master every style and become renowned for her prowess with a blade.

Edit: Several edits have been made to the stat block and such, awaiting changes to base Mage Trainee stats for more.

[wolfchild]

I have a few options for sprites, anyone have opinions?

[Screech9791]

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name: Aurus
Mug: I can't sprite.
Sprite: I still can't sprite.
(If I could, his sprite would be a cloaked wanderer, wearing a white hood and trenchcoat, with a two large metal plates on his chest and back, with leather straps on the side and top.)
Class: Swordsman Trainee -> Myrmidon -> Swordmaster
Character Skill: Weapon Saver
Affinity: (leave this blank until I give you choices)
Personal Fault: Thanks to his infamy for killing other bandits in their sleep, bandits just hate him, and bandits and their promotions gain a 15% crit chance bonus against him.
Personal Skills: Due to Aurus's preference for getting up close to fight, he gains +10% crit chance if he's used all MOV in the round.

Preferred Stats: (not necessary, I can fill this up EXCEPT if you need to pick them due to the class picked)

Weapon Profs: Sword (E)

Total Level: (I fill this up)
Level/Tier: (I fill this up)
HP: 18 (60%)
STR: 4 (65%)
MAG: 1 (-1% because myrmidons don't use magic)
SKL: 5 (55%)
LCK: 2 (30%)
DEF: 2 (50%)
RES: 0 (20%)
SPD: 4 (50%)
CON: 4
AID: 3
MOV: 4

Bio: Aurus was just a normal bandit. Until one day, he woke up a few hours before the rest of his bandit group, and stabbed them all with their own bandits. He's done so with other bandit groups, until he decided to become a mercenary instead of a bandit traitor.

Starting weapon is slim sword.
