Irine runs away from the enemy as fast as she can and looks desperately around at the surrounding terrain, attempting to find the most favoroable ground possible for her to build up her flames before engaging with a superior foe.

[Stirk]

Is the “Proper Game” ever coming tho

[Smoke Mirrors]

So, I’m holding to give the other two a bit more time to show back up if they want to.

[Smoke Mirrors]

Round 1.4

You stand in a grassy plain that had once been a battlefield, with scattered bits and pieces of weapons and armor still remaining, and rocky outcroppings dot the field like islands. A few trees dot the landscape, along with a few stumps, as many of the trees had been cleared away at some point in the past. Far away, you can see a medieval stone castle, your destination, but between you and there is your opponent.

The shadow servant’s body seemed to be made of shifting purple energy, with a black miasma floating around their body. The form seems to be a young male, with shoulder length hair pulled up in a ponytail and a pair of double bladed swords in his hands. He seemed fit, and with the way he carried himself, ready for a fight.
(Actions)
Back to everyone having the same opponent. So, I held over the weekend both to give people time, and as I was busy. Failbird got back to me and will be rejoining, but no response from Black Paladin. Also a reminder, this round the plan is to implement Physical Integrity, essentially HP. As Rank 3 units, you each start with 150 PI. As your PI decreases, your physical parameters (Strength, Endurance, and Agility) do too, by an amount determined by your Endurance parameter.

Rank	75%	66%	50%	33%	25%	10%
A	0	0	0	0	-1	-2
B	0	0	0	-1	-2	-3
C	0	0	-1	-2	-3	-4
D	0	-1	-2	-3	-4	-5
E	-1	-2	-3	-4	-5	-6

You can still use Mana as extra HP, though effects like Battle Continuation which related to how injured you were or activated at certain states are now applied to PI rather than Mana. Speaking of which, the battle continuation class skill grants temporary immunity from the minuses PI would generally give you at low PI.

A: Your Roll Under Numbers are not effect by your PI for the remainder of this combat.
B: Your Roll Under Numbers are not effect by your PI for 4 turns.
C: Your Roll Under Numbers are not effect by your PI for 3 turns.
D: Your Roll Under Numbers are not effect by your PI for 2 turns.
E: Your Roll Under Numbers are not effect by your PI for 1 turn.

My apologies, I should have created this explanation post before the round started so you could look it over and think of any questions or concerns. As is, please ask me any questions that come to mind. All numbers are subject to change if they turn out to need it.

[Lenglon]

I like that a ton, especially because it allows people to have less than A in mana.

Irine runs away from the enemy as fast as she can and looks desperately around at the surrounding terrain, attempting to find the most favoroable ground possible for her to build up her flames before engaging with a superior foe.

action unchanged

Parameters:
Strength: E
Endurance: C
Agility: C
Mana: A
Luck: C

Class Skills:
Item creation (A)
+5 for your roll under number for Mana when rolling to cast a spell.

Territory creation (A) (special, see personal skills)

Divinity (C) (fallen deity)
Luck +3

Personal Skills:

Resilient Tails (E)
Description: Irine's tails are noticeably more resilient and protective than the rest of her body, and she can shelter herself behind them against some blows if she is in her full-fox or hybrid forms.
Effect: +2 Endurance against attacks that hit her tails.

Soul of fire (A)
Description:Irine's soul-self envelops a dramatically larger area than her body, and within that area she feels and manipulates all flames as a extention of her own body.
Effect:Within approx 100 yards of Irine's body she is able to feel and manipulate flames without any effort, spell, or mana expenditure, as well as making her immune to most flames herself, is immune to fire terrain effects, and it grants her +6 resistance against special flames like enemy fire-based Noble Phantasms. most importantly, she can maintain fire effects within this range without cost beyond the startup cost to begin them.

Beacon of flame (A)
Description: Irine grows in power the more firey the environment.
Effect: Irine treats any region with active flames as her territory, the quality of the territory depending on how intense the environment's fires are. This does imply she can create a feedback loop from her flame attacks starting fires that make the combat area give back some of the mana she spent mid-combat.

Pyro-shapeshifter (Utility) (self)

Description: Irine is able to switch between her forms at will.
Effect: change between forms, no combat effect.

Flame Dance (B) (Anti-room)
Cost: 40 mana
Description: Irine generates numerous spheres of flame within an area (roughly the size of a large room like a gym), moving them in complex patterns within the region, making it difficult to move through and burning those that don't dodge well.
Effect: 20 damage to all within the targeted area and obstructs movement, In order to move through, move within, or exit the effected area, units must roll a successful Agility check.

Noble Phantasm:
Firestorm (A) Anti-Region
Cost: 50 mana
Description: When Irine no longer cares about collateral damage and has decided it's time for everything to burn, she cuts loose. She has intimate knowledge of the mechanics of flame and its interactions with the fuel and air around it, and uses this to  induce either a fire whirl or a firestorm. This process takes some time to begin, and requires her full focus to perform, but it continuously grows in power until she stops.
Effects: requires continuous channeling to maintain. grows in rank with every turn it is continuously channeled, begins at E rank, does not fade all at once, instead losing a rank for every turn after the channeling is over. causes (Rank) damage to all non-Irine beings in range each turn and attempts to suck them into the center of the effect at (Rank) strength, disabling them for the turn. Opposed Strength check to resist this effect.

[Stirk]

I can’t remember where my character sheet is.

“Where you running to woman? Already died once. No point in trying to keep this transient form in one piece.”

Doc swings his shotgun into position with a dramatic click and unleashes his NP at the assailant.

[Lenglon]

I can’t remember where my character sheet is.

Here's an old version copied from one of your old posts, you're going to need to update it to get the current version, but it'll get you started.

Spoiler: Archer (click to show/hide)

Origin (Player): United States
Name: Dr. John Henry Holliday
Class: Archer
Alignment: Lawful Good
Mana: 100
Traits: Male, Humanoid

Mana: A 5
Luck: A 5

Magic resist (D),
independent action (C)
Riding (C) 3

Personal Skills:
Gambler's luck (A)
Description: One of the most well known gamblers of the wild west, Doc was known for his skill at cards despite his rotten luck with his disease. He often made a living working for casinos as a dealer, and ended up trading bullets and knives as a result.
Effect: Roll luck every turn. On a success he increases the damage of one ally for this action. On a critical success he increases the damage of all allies for this action. On a failure the enemy will receive no damage this turn.

Marksmanship (A)
Description: One of the famed gunslingers of the old west, Holliday is known as a talented gunslinger who was said to have won over 30 dues. While this may be an exaggeration his skill with a firearm is undisputed.
Effect: +5 to your roll under number for Agility when rolling accuracy for a ranged attack

Frontier Dentistry (B)
Description: Dr.Holliday is perhaps the only known Heroic Spirit Dentist. While Heroic Spirits will need more than a tooth pulled, this skill represents his ability to remove pain from the people of the frontier allowing it to work on more generalized wounds.

Noble Phantasms:
A-OK (Anti-Army) (D)

Having saved Wyat Earp's life at en earlier time and consequently become best friends, Holliday followed the lawman into confrontation with a variety of outlaws. Its effects represent the events that kicked off the gunfight-saving Earp and the attempt to disarm that started the conflict. A phantom image of a frontier town overtakes the battlefield as Holliday says the line, followed by a series of shotgun blasts from Holliday disarming the enemies and healing allies.
Effects: -3 to one enemy's Agility roll under number for 3 actions, +50 to one ally's Mana.

[Smoke Mirrors]

…ah sure, we can have the Doc and Irine team carry over.

[Stirk]

“Everyone having the same opponent” is confusing wording.

I guess Doc is just talking to himself then.

[Smoke Mirrors]

Ah, I can see that. I meant it as going back what we had in rounds 1 and 2 where even though people were split, the enemy everyone faced was the same, compared to round 3 and 3.5 where you each faced a different servant. If you want to keep the team though, since Doc is support and the best way to see him work is with an ally, you can.

In her true form she is a large figure with excessively long limbs, with her outfit, aside from the skull, having scaled up to match.

"Well, hello tall, dark, and scary! Well... maybe just 'dark' eeeeeheheheheee~. Anyway, I need to be over there, and you are in way, so let me just move you out of it!"

Full Strength pestle swing!

[Smoke Mirrors]

Numbers have all been rolled and calculated, but it's late here and I still have some things to do before bed so I think the update will be in the morning. Also I've officially decided that enemy damage crits will use the "only get extra damage if they roll a total 5 or lower" idea, as I'm looking at how actual games tend to run stuff and it seems to be a good general strategy that enemies have higher health but lower damage output, while players have higher output but lower health.

[BlackPaladin99]

sorry, i just saw this and i don't think I received anything from Smoke Mirrors.  Is it too late to come back?

[Smoke Mirrors]

It is not. Sorry, I actually forgot to PM you and Failbird on Bay12. The first turn is already close to done, but once I post it you can do an action for turn 2.
