Probably a good idea.

Not really necessary.

I don't play Berserker so I don't really have an opinion.

Further message for people interested in Lost Record, I plan to only take 1 servant of each class, in order to support variety. Right now it looks like we've got a good mix of classes, but I just wanted to mention this specifically as I don't believe I had before.

[Failbird105]

My second character made and current character of preference, though we'll see how I feel once I've made my Support Character. A character focused HEAVILY into the strategy of 'burn bright, burn fast'.

Spoiler: Berserker (click to show/hide)

Origin (Player): History/American Folk Tales (Failbird105)
Name: John Henry
Class: Berserker
Alignment: True Neutral
Mana: 80(100 including Madness Enhancement)
Traits: Male, Hominidae Servant, Humanoid, Mechanical

Appearance: A tall, well built, dark skinned man with a chiseled jawline and short hair. He wears a simple blue shirt and set of overalls and bears a large sledgehammer. A pair of steam whistles protrude from his shoulder blades. He looks ordinary at first aside from the whistles, but as he gets more active and his body heats up, the skin on his torso and arms begins to burn away, revealing red-hot steel underneath, and a thrumming, glowing engine in his chest.

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

Class Skills:
Madness Enhancement (stubborn) C
Effect: +4 to your roll under number for Strength, Endurance, and Agility. -2 to your roll under number for Mana and Luck. +20 to your mana.

Battle Continuation D
Effect: The first time in each combat your mana reaches 0, gain 10 mana.

Personal Skills:
Overload D
Description: In Henry's case, he overclocks his Steam Engine, boosting its output and increasing the attack power of his Noble Phantasm. The wild machinery inflicts damage to itself, and since the machinery is part of his body, Henry is damaged as well.
Effect: +20 to your damage but you lose 10 mana every time you attack.

Single-Mindedness A
Description: For Henry, money was not a concern, fame was not a concern, life was not a concern. The only thing Henry cared about as he picked up his hammer for the last time was proving you could not replace a man with a machine.
Effect: At the beginning of combat you may declare a target. Any actions you make aimed at that target receive +4 to their roll under numbers until you make an action that is not aimed at that target. If you do so, -1 to all roll under numbers for the rest of battle.

Steam Vent C
Description: As Henry runs his engine, his body heats up, burning his flesh and boiling his blood. Yet when a pain is so constant, relief from it feels far greater than the pain ever did.
Effect: By passing a turn, the user may regain 40 Mana.

Noble Phantasms:
Steel Driving Man (D-B) Anti-Obstacle
Cost: 20-40(not counting Overload costs)
Description: John Henry was born for driving steel. And when his own body wasn’t enough, he was rebuilt to do it all the better. He himself is now a machine that digs tunnels, builds rails, and drives steel more effectively than any ordinary man or drill ever could. In this Noble Phantasm he recreates the nonstop steel driving race that ended his human life. Planting a rail spike into the target with a brutal first blow, he then follows up with several powerful strikes from his hammer. An alternate version of this Noble Phantasm exists in which John Henry continues striking indefinitely until either his body or the targets give out, ending in both parties almost assured destruction, but it is fundamentally unused in this game.
Effects: When activated, you can choose if this is counted as a D, C, or B rank noble phantasm.
D Rank: Inflict two 30 damage attacks to target enemy or object.
C Rank: Inflict three 30 damage attacks to target enemy or object and, if animate, give it -1 to its roll under number for Endurance for each successful attack. -2 to your roll under number for Agility and Endurance for 3 actions.
B Rank: Inflict four 30 damage attacks to target enemy or object and, if animate, give it -1 to its roll under number for Endurance for each successful attack. -4 to your roll under number for Agility, Endurance, and Luck for 3 actions.

"No! I must defeat the machines!" he shouted
The radio said "No. John. You are the machines"
And then John was a train

[SOLDIER First]

damn that was my idea

[Failbird105]

We were just very short on classic Fate brand weirdness around here. The sheets present thus far just felt much too grounded. Thus, John Henry is now a steam powered cyborg.

Hello there, are you tired of your historical figures being just like they are in the history book? Well maybe it’s time you should try some Fate Brand Weirdness.

What’s Fate Brand Weirdness, you ask? Well, you know Thomas Edison? What if he was a lion in a superhero costume with the ghosts of the presidents of the United States?

You know Gilgamesh? Well, what if he shot swords out of portals?

You know Saint Martha? Well what if she punched the Tarasque into submission and beat the shot out of everything?

And that’s what Fate Brand Weirdness can do for your Characters. Order some today!

Right, both of you are good on personal skills and NP, but you both seem to have used more than 22 points for parameters and class skills. Ctsun, it looks like your point total adds up to 24, and SOLDIER, yours adds up to 27.

[SOLDIER First]

Parameters are Strength A (4) Endurance A (4), Agility C (2), Mana A (4).

Skills are Magic Resist D to C (1), Riding C to A (2), Independent Action A (5). That's 22, right?

No, E rank still counts as 1 point, not 0

[SOLDIER First]

I see. I would appreciate it if that was made more clear somewhere, because I find it unintuitive to need to spend points from my limited allotment on a parameter rank that I am forced to have.

Independent Action has been reduced from A to C (-2 points), Magic Resist has been reduced from C to D (-1 point), Strength and Endurance have each been reduced from A to B (-2 points total).

Apologies, I will include in the OP that the E rank counts as a point used.
