As in Spirit of Fire except Spirit of Ice 

[Tokay]

I go up the obsidian stairs and pick up any nice pebbles i may find on my way up.

[Yanlin]

I use my free action to see the true nature of the staircase before anybody else even goes near it. Safety first.

If it's dangerous, I prevent anyone from proceeding.

If it's safe, I mandate myself up the stairs.

[wehtamjd92]

What does everyone think of the spirit of ice thing? Cause it seems way over powered to me.

[inaluct]

You could just make failure really, really bad. That could balance it.

[neo1096]

I'm cool with that

[wehtamjd92]

Like ____ for example?

[neo1096]

nvm, I'm just going to imbue myself with cold in order to get cold immunity rather than the whole Spirit of Ice thing, still using free action to go through the door.

[wehtamjd92]

Penguin, my good buddy, put forward this solution

The Spirit of Ice guy... if he succeeds then he'll be a different race, of course, and need some racial bonuses and penalties. Let's see what we get here. If you don't want to write it out than you can just quote this message and copy-paste it into your RTD post.

I'll assume that the spirit of ice is a not-entirely-solid humanoid spirit imbued with the power of ice and a freezing aura. That's pretty different from a human, so he'll have quite a few differences.

-2 to defense against fire attacks. This means he has a 1/2 chance of getting horribly damaged (1) and a 1/6 chance of coming out mostly unharmed (4).
+2 to defense against ice attacks. Ice isn't going to damage ice that badly. +2 means that he can get a 3, on a roll against ice, still getting light damage. He can get more if his opponent is powerful enough.
-1 defense against physical attacks. Being a partially spiritual being, he's not exactly the sturdiest creature.
+1 to cryokinesis. He's made of ice, which gives him a source of ice and an extra familiarity with it.
-1 to non-ice elemental magic, and cannot use fire magic. An ice spirit using fire is absurd, and using the other elements is odd since he's about as focused as it gets with ice magic. This applies to various elemental magics outside of the traditional fire-air-water-earth combination, such as ice, electricity, metal, etc.
Most physical attacks are ice attacks. His punches and kicks and stuff are ice element, of course, and short weapons (daggers, clubs) would probably in the aura and affected by his powers. Long weapons (spears, halberds, claymores) would be out of the aura but he could probably still extend the aura around them or something (his choice if he wants to or not). Elementally enchanted weapons would still be their element.
Immune to bleeding, suffocation, and pain. He can still be killed by direct attacks, of course.
Cannot drink potions. Any potion that got near him would freeze. Not too bad if someone has healing magic.

[neo1096]

Alright I'll still do my original action then. Also specifically It would be Spirit of Cold, not Spirit of Ice

[wehtamjd92]

Alright it's now acceptable under those conditions should you succed (now I kinda hope you do, not tha it will affect the die roll).

[neo1096]

Rolls soon then?

[wehtamjd92]

Yes soon. Tonight for sure at least but prolly real soon.

[wehtamjd92]

ROLL TO DODGE!!!!!!!
From now on I will post the rolls not by post but by which action best follows in chronological order.

I use my free action to see the true nature of the staircase before anybody else even goes near it. Safety first.

If it's dangerous, I prevent anyone from proceeding.

If it's safe, I mandate myself up the stairs.

Your royal highness looks carefully at the stairs and notices that they are a normal set of stairs. Your royal highness then attempts to lead the way by mandating yourself upstairs (1) your call goes completely unanswered and you now feel slightly less royal you will now be referred to as "your highness".

I'm going to try and get everyone to go up the stairs, hopefully in a crowd and with someone who isn't dazed by the kilt in the lead.

You attempt to lead the poor blinded souls up the stairs behind you (3-1 due to lack of sight) you fail to get anybody anywhere let alone yourself.

I sneak up the stairs quietly, and pick up any loot if there is some (that's a free action right?).

You attempt to head up the stairs (2-1 due to lack of sight) you fall and give yourself light bruising.

I go up the obsidian stairs and pick up any nice pebbles I may find on my way up.

You attempt to head upstairs picking up any pebbles along the way (5-1 due to sight) you manage to make it to a small platform at the top picking up 2 small pebbles along the way, as you reach the platform you notice a single wooden door.

Alright then I will go through the door with my free action and use jets of cold air with cryokinesis to propel me forward and up the stairs behind the others. If we are already up the stairs due to inaluct I will attempt to imbue myself with cold and become a Spirit of Cold

You head into the next room and attempt to propel yourself up the stairs with gusts of cold air (4) you manage to make it to the small platform and to gain +1 exp in cryokinesis you now have a +1 to all rolls having to do with cryokinesis.

Tokay: Wearing a kilt with yellow and orange stripes. Currently holding two small obsidian pebbles.
neo1096: Wearing an iridescent red kilt. Cryokinesis Exp 0/8. +1 to rolls involving cryokinesis.
inaluct: Wearing a green kilt. Currently wearing legendary artifact "kilt of a thousand dying suns" which has the abilities -1 to sneak rolls due to the brightness of the kilt and those not used to the kilt of wonders a.k.a enemies will have to wait a turn to act due to blindness.
Cheeetar: Wearing a camouflage kilt. 1/4 exp for hiding. Light bruising.
Yanlin: Wearing a transparent kilt. Currently has the ability to see the true nature of the things near him as a free action.

Since we have our first injury I will introduce the damage system

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

2 light brusings = 1 light bleeding
2 light bleeding = 1 medium bleeding
2 medium bleedings = 1 heavy bleeding
2 heavy bleedings = death
Bones can be broken in the proper circumstances and you can go strait to any of these levels without going through the others if you get attacked properly. When heavy bleeding is achieved you will get a survival roll to not die but 2 heavies still equals death also pain due to injuries my lower thought based action rolls.

[neo1096]

Cool I got better at cryokinesis! I imbue myself with cold using Cryokinesis and become a Spirit of Cold. We'll see what happens.
