I get the feeling that that was directed towards me. This is going to be cooperative, right? If not, I should probably change to something a bit less ... supportive.

[RandomNumberGenerator]

also i hope that people realize what a Plane is.

I'm assuming you mean the existential places, right? Like the plane of fire, the plane of demons... and that plain of normal people(earth).

If so, then I'm good to go. I don't need any special abilities; I'll force portals open through sheer willpower!

[Dakk]

I'm in if you still have free spots.

Name: Dakk Kittencuddle
Race: Elf
Description: Crazy elf ranger.

Bio: Dakk was born in a normal elven retreat, and spent his early life learning and doing most elf-ey things, until he got hit in the head by a falling branch. While unharmed, from then on he adapt a new style of life: He became a ranger and decided to travel around, riding the world of whatever displeases him, including fellow elves and trees if they stand in his way.
He's considered a criminal in a big human city to the west for barging into a shop, picking up a pricey engraved bow, beating the shopkeeper to uncounciousness with it, biting a teenager, and stealing two quivers full of iron arrows before heading east.

[Diakron]

this will be co-operative don't worry.

with Dakk coming in i am just waiting on a little extra info from a few people yes RNG that is correct but a few people where writing as if there was one THIS world to originate from.

Also i will be doing this:

I'd like to suggest the dice bonuses would rather be left out: As per, bonuses to rolls, just as penalties, break the very small balance d6 system got. Instead, I propose a system, which, instead, got "mastery levels", with higher mastery level allowing to pull off more insane stuff.

with only a few bonuses coming from using proper tools and things of that sort as i like this idea way to much. i need to flesh out the EXP system and stuff, but thats pretty much handled at this point.


THIS GAME HAS 2 OPTIONAL POSITIONS OPEN. REGARDLESS, THE GAME STARTS TOMORROW

[Blood-Dwarf]

i'll join if still possible.

Name: Bomrek Kremrok
Race: Dwarf
Concept: just looking for adventure!
Bio: He grew up in a safe nice place and led a happy life with his fellow dwarfs but grew tired of that dull place and set out on a journey to find some action. Besides some money, food and booze he just took his trusty axe with him.

I like this idea as well. One thing I have found in my current RTD that I hated, is after skills granted +1 to rolls, critical failures were essentially nullified. I hated this so much I actually added in another rule to counteract it...

I do like the idea of some high mastery levels granting insane abilities. I want to literally punch someone into outer space! If the punch doesn't kill them, they'll die from asphyxiation!

[Sysice]

I third (fourth?) this idea. It's not as fun to only have variance on the rolls to see if the enemies live. This system means that you can still fail, and if you do on a high level roll it will bring new meaning to the words "EPIC fail."

[Kishmond]

I volunteer!

Name: Sankrum
Race: Nerra (humanoid but with smooth, reflective, glass-like skin and generalized facial features)
Concept: Intangible possessor
Bio: Sankrum spends almost all of its time in an etherial state, and only manipulates the physical world through possession and control of objects or creatures/people. It cooperates just long enough to complete a goal. It is a purely logical being and lacks most emotions but a cold sort of curiosity, which sometimes manifests as what others may call sadistic tendencies. It is actually kind of a coward. In its true physical form it can change the color of its skin, but not its shape, and so is able to pass as a human only at a distance. But of course you'll never meet it that way, as it is weak and fragile as glass.

[Diakron]

hmm... Kishmond i will also require more info about your race, i have to balance the fact that it is intangible somehow.

ok so this is what i have about the new system:

you basically start as a dabbler as everything that you are allowed to do (strange creature will not find much if any armor they can wear, dwarf are too practical to use magic, elves have ethnical issues about killing with weapons, that sort of thing) as a Dabbler your epic fails are things like you drop your weapon and if you get another one or a 2 you take damage, and at legendary you threw your sword missed the enemy causing it to ricochet off the wall and hit you, it has bonus added to it seeing as it use more then one skill (swordplay, throwing, athletics where you get a +1 ONLY for being legendary (and nothing lower) in each balanced by the fact that i am going to have all sorts of effects that help you or hinder you) so when it hits something, chances are it's going to need a doctor.

Still has lots of bonuses but there are tons of things that will hinder you.


all i am looking at now is progression of skills and how much you can do at each. Dabbling swordplay = swing sword wildly, novice = proper swing, Swordplay, you know enough to attack in a few ways so you can parry and dodge sword, talented = adv. techs, master = you know all sort of sword tricks and can counter swords, Grand Master of Swordplay, you are seen as one of the most feared things on 2 (or 6) legs, creatures might follow you if you train them. Legendary Swordplay??? Cross their hearts, watch them die.

 need ideas about the ranks in between and i think i have an EXP system i like...

[Dakk]

Are your elves ok with bows? I'm sorta fond of clubbing people down with them aswell.

[Pillow_Killer]

Can I assume, I got at least basic skills in alchemy - to create alchemic fire and alike? =P

Racial description
Demons:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Demons are humanoid beings formed from the repressed desires of other sentients. They usually take the form of a distorted humanoid and exist to fulfill the desires they were spawned from. Normally being trapped on a remote plane leaves them incapable of doing so, but sometimes the barrier is broken, either because a Demon's directly summoned or because of particularly powerful desires, like that of a group or a person strong of will. Once freed upon another plane, a Demon will try to enact the desires they were spawned from. So a Demon of vengeance will try to enact blind vengeance upon anyone that has wronged someone and a demon of lust... Let's not go there.

Even though the reasons behind a demon's existence can be many, they do share some characteristics. First of all, since they are formed from repressed desires all demons harbour a seed of secrecy and deceit. Even if not necessary a demon will prefer to keep it's actions hidden. Besides that, the willpower that drives them gives them access to magical capabilities related to their nature. Lastly, they are insatiable. Even if they fulfill their original goal they will seek out a new goal and start over. A demon of vengeance unleashed upon a village can easily massacre the entire village because people can and will always be blamed by others.
Only when the sentiment around a demon that drives him becomes too weak can the bond to a plane be broken, which will cast them back home.

There exists a sort of hierarchy under the demons, with the major demons being formed from many desires. As such they have exceptional powers and often act as leaders to lesser demons, sometimes going as far as to have lesser demons act on their behalf. Anyone who directly summons a major demon should be prepared to deal with an unstoppable force of nature that is as sly and determined as it is destructive.

Demons, being the tricksters they are and being blessed with a nice set of powers will gladly engage in contracts, furfilling the dark and represserd desires of anyone who calls uon them, in exchange of suitable comodity. Usualy this comodity is related to the demon's reason for existance, but sometimes they might just choose something they think suitable. Contracts rarely end favourable for the other side of the deal though, but people tricking demons, though rare, isn't entirely unheard off.

Iriv's only a lesser demon though. He was originally spawned out of a desire for power and as such could not resist playing gambits with those around him, even on the demon's plane. He managed to consistently talk himself out of trouble if he got into it and gather some interesting things along the way, until he learned of a major demon of deceit that was searching for followers. He could not resist the urge to trick this major demon out of some of his powers and the rest is history.

Shadows:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

What happens if it's the body that fades in the sunlight and the shadow that escapes?
Shadows are the remains of those that have been stripped of their corporal form, yet who's existance itself has not been erased. They're forced to move out of the light since their is nothing that can sustain them in direct shine.

In darkness they can act like they exists for real. They can interact with the world like their's no veil between them and the real world and the real world can influence them, to a certain extent. But when light comes they lose their grip on reality. The brighter the area, the harder the interaction is for them even if they are in shadows.

But reality also has little grip on a shadow. Shadows move as fast as light and don't feel the pull of gravity or any other force. Where there is darkness a shadow can go and act, but where there is light, they fade.

The bottom left one is what I had in mind.

As for balancing out the intangibility... it cannot act on anything in the material world unless it is through a possessed proxy. It can be attacked by other etherial creatures, such as ghosts, etc. It's like a sort of ghost itself, walking around with the other more physical people but not being able to do anything, visible as only maybe a shimmer in the air.

[Sysice]

Elves need some sort of weapons. Me probably more than others, since I was raised by dwarves for most of my life, and in fact hate elves. Bows would be fine though, just as long as elves aren't singing at people.
