Hm... that might actually be a good choice.

I think I'll have starting HP at 15 or so, so players can sustain a bit of damage but not too much. Give them the ability to increase that via a stat with a name like "toughness", too.

Here's what I've got out.

Quote from: Omghugewtfwowzerz
Spoiler: Story -P (click to show/hide)

If this RTD looks daunting, don't worry, you only have to read the spoilers with -N on them to sign up. -P are partially optional, containing important but not 100% necessary information when creating your char. -O ones are optional, simply telling you how things work. You don't have to read them to sign up, but it's a good idea to check them sometime.

I plan for this RTD to have 6 players. However, if the slots and waiting list fill up fast, I'll open 8 slots.

Remember, BOLD YOUR ACTIONS. Non-bolded actions are UNACCEPTABLE.

Spoiler: Chaos -O (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Combat -O (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Attributes -N (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Character Sheet -N (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Example Sheet -P (click to show/hide)

Yeah, it's huge at 16980+ characters, I got carried away. But remember that a bit is not actually needed, and quite a bit is non-essential (but still important). Also, a decent amount of the stuff in important spoilers may be fluff text. I really hope it doesn't push too many of you away with it's size. If you see things I could cut down in or confusing, say so. Also, yeah, it's unorganized but then again it's late here and I don't really want to organize it right now. I'll likely organize, change up other small mistakes, and add small things before I start. I will accept reserves if you want to reserve.

Ed: Minor fixing.

Interesting! Would definitely like to reserve a spot.

Not sure how I feel about the skill/player level relationship, but I'm not sure it's bad.

I thought about an XP level system, but then there's the problem of having to track both XP and skill points... which would take up more time in the long run.

Besides, XP and skill seem to be the same thing when you think about it. You learn when you do stuff, same with XP.

Anyway, You're first on Reserve List.txt. Congratulations! You get a worthless internet cookie!

Really nice, except the HP listed in Toughness and your HP listed above is different, and you shouldn't get +1 to using a weapon that uses strength, you should get -1, as you're below the break-even point of 10 points.

Also, Dual Shields FTW.

Anyway, I don't think it's a good idea to make the character sheet before the final version of the rules are made, since some things may change.

I'll start the RTD when I'm not so bummed down after helping my father cutting wood and moving it around without having eaten any breakfast except a juice drink before it...
