[Knight Otu]

ED: You forgot to add my intelligence bonus

This one might have gotten lost in the edit shuffle.

Looks good so far.

[kilakan]

hey Kilakan, if we are on the same team i,l make you a mechanized axe

ha, maybe, or I could supply you with wood and you could make a wooden battle mech.

GO CANADA!!!!

[Knight Otu]

How does hp/mp regeneration work? Constitution/Spirituality per turn? How does resting/not resting affect this?

[Nirur Torir]

I'll probably go with this:
In-combat: No HP regen, 1/2 Spi MP regen
Not in-combat: 1/2 Con HP Regen, 1/2 Spi MP regen
Resting: 2x con HP regen, 2x Spi MP regen

For those wondering, base HP is 10+2x Con, while MP is 5+3x spi.

[HailFire]

Since nobody else seems interested in signing up, when are we going to get this thing started?

[Knight Otu]

Well, we'll need the governor sheets and Nirur's character to fully comment, though I don't expect huge changes in opinion.

[Nirur Torir]

It's not dead, but I don't have much time this weekend. I'll try to finish the character sheets on Monday.

[HailFire]

Hopefully, time won't be at a premium for much longer, but you've got to do what you've got to do.

Just don't let this die, I'm sure most of us have been looking forward to it for a while. 

[Nirur Torir]

It's coming. Your characeters are up, but I'll be re-balancing spells before we start, probably tomorrow.

Teams:
Evergod 41 rules over:
 Wolfchild the offensive mage
 Errol the utility mage
 Jiharo the Enchanter/Mechanics mage

Knight Otu rules over:
 Kilakan the Barbarian
 Hailfire the Alchemist/Utility mage
 Nirur the Blood Mage/Necromancer

I'll be replaced eventually, by somebody with a new character. Until then, I'll use a temporary hero to fill in the spot.

When making a hero, I want the following:
Name: Jack
Description/Race/Backstory: Jack was a student at the Riverview Academy for slightly over one year. He was quite interested in non-standard magic, and was promptly expelled when he was caught studying forbidden tomes without permission. He would have been killed if the janitor who had noticed him hadn't been too drunk to notice which forbidden tomes he had been reading. Despite this, and his morbid interest in magic, he is an eternally cheerful optimist who seeks to bring more Good into the universe.
+2 spi, +2 con, +1 pow, +1 fin
Disadvantage: -1 str, -1 agi, -1 dex
Special:
Cast from Hit Points: May turn 2 hp into 1 mp.
Skills:
Body Magic level 1 - Body magic is commonly known as healing magic. It is technically a specific area of study under the school of abjuration. Some students of Body Magic have been rumored to use their knowledge for more destructive means. This is, of course, only used as a last resort and for self defense.
Necromancy level 1 - Soul magic, one of the forbidden schools. Necromancers command the power to reap the souls of the dying or very recently deceased, along with the ability to bind these souls to inanimate objects, such as zombies under their command. Very powerful necromancers are rumored to be able to summon the souls of the long-dead. This is, of course, a mere fairy tale. Your soul is completely secure in His embrace after it returns to Him.
Blood Magic level 2 - This is one of the forbidden schools, and grants knowledge of using the essence of life to power spells. It is not necessarily evil, but it does require the sacrifice of life energy - many apprentices studying Blood Magic end up killing themselves to power their spells. Others realize the power of killing others to power their spells, although this generally requires the subject be either an ally, or first broken. Non-sentient beings grant far less power. Only live blood carries the life-force needed for spell-casting. A treaty to hunt down and Bind all Blood Magic users was signed by all civilized nations at the Verona treaty some 270 years ago. Any rumors of blood mages appearing since then are cruel lies and urban legend.
Starting items:
Life Receptacle [1/1 soul] [4/4 blood] - This custom-made pendant is able to store a soul, and with it keep a small amount of blood 'alive'. Drains one mana from the wearer per turn while fulfilling its purpose.
Ring of Focus - +1 spi
Staff of Body - +1 Body Magic
Reason for joining the expedition: He accidentally agreed to it while drink, and dropping out would have been suspicious (and a crime).
Which governor you'll side with, or random: Knight Otu

Spells:
Collect Soul, Animate Corpse, Minor Healing, Inflict Minor Pain, Coagulate Blood, Blood Knife, Blood Spear, Lesser Drain Life

[Knight Otu]

On concentration - I take it that I cast the spell, have 5/17 mp left, then at beginning of the next turn (or maybe when I cast the spell), I need to decide whether I want to concentrate on the spell, temporarily leaving me with 5/14 mp, plus whatever regeneration happened (that is, the next turn I won't have 5/11 mp). Once I stop concentrating, I'll go back to the normal maximum mp of 17 (at the beginning of the next turn?), and up to 14 actual mp. Sort of a continual drain of mp.

Is concentration a major/minor/no action?

Is concentration a major/minor/no action?

Yes. One summon will leave you at 14 max MP, the second will leave you at 11 max MP, and so on. It doesn't matter how many turns pass, you'll still have 11 max MP with the two summons.

Deciding whether or not to concentrate on maintaining a creature is a free action. I'll automatically assume that you're concentrating on them, unless you say otherwise. Most creatures will simply cease to exist if you stop concentrating on them.

This should be a nice, fairly versatile system for determining how many summoned creatures you may have. As you level up, increasing your max MP, you'll be able to control more or creatures.

Name: Ochita the I

Light Rain- Ochita simply makes it rain. Depending on the weather it might get slightly stronger.
Rain- Ochita Makes it rain harder. This can help scrowd small groups and possibly hamper vision.

Is this alright?

[Nirur Torir]

Mostly, but you need to take a third disadvantage.
Are you sure you want such adventurer-unfriendly spells?

[kilakan]

I thought you said we could have one two point advantage (what he has).
I also think he could be insanely powerful in a fight with a bit of preparation, or as he gets more powerful (aka earth hand 2.0:Crush someone to a pulp.)  But just my 2 cents.

[Nirur Torir]

Craziness. I remember posting no such thing, yet I clearly posted it. I'll stick to what I originally said.

Sure, he could learn powerful spells later, but he could also have more powerful spells now.
Plus, I'm not quite sure what good two 'rain' spells would do, other then possibly making bandits easier to sneak up on or to improve crop yields.
