So the guy stuck in their basement gets all the loot and shit while the person that goes out and work gets nothing?

I call foul

[HmH]

I'd guess... based on success. 1 point for 3s, 2 for 4s, 3 for 5s and 6s, and 4 for 7+. What do you guys think?

It's pretty good, but I suggest that experience gained should only depend on the main roll. Luck and Defense rolls are too unpredictable to affect experience output.

Since wolfchild decided he would have no shield at all rather than a ventilated one, I'll change my action.
Create and memorize spell: Harvest. Try to memorize the spell well enough to reduce its difficulty.

read the shield descriptionm, all it stops is air
il fix this then cast a propper shield

[HmH]

read the shield descriptionm, all it stops is air

Read the turn description, see this:

[5+1][Luck: 1]: You expertly make a shield. Unfortunately, it also blocks air. You are now DYING OF ASPHYXIATION. Better get out.

Emphasis mine. "Also" means that it blocks everything as well as air. Besides, if it didn't block anything other than the air, it wouldn't have 10 HP, right?

il fix this then cast a propper shield

No, you'll fix this, we'll go to the Accurarwa camp and THEN you'll cast a proper shield. It's unknown what distance we would walk there, and according to the game's first post, shields tend to have quite an upkeep. Besides, I'm running out of ideas what to do while you mess around with shields.

Meanwhile, take Dostricht's advice and attempt to re-merge my soul parts. Preferably back inside me, but I'll take what I can get.

I'll laugh if you get a luck of 1.

...Damn.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Your luck roll was 4. HOWEVER, your main roll was 2.

Maybe I'll get my skill bonus for 2+1+1?

Also the GM is having waaaaaaaaaay too much fun with my shenanigans. :I

Problem is changing it is going to be difficult. I screwed up at the beginning, making the gain far too low. I don't know what would be a good rate of gain, personally. I could make it so you always get 2 per action, but then it'd be leveling you up like crazy (4 actions for both Skill level and player level compared to 8 per SL&PL) and I'd have to do all sorts of other stuff to fix it. I could also give points based on how well you succeed, but I don't know what would be a good system. I just honestly don't know, I'm too sleepy right now to think very clearly.

I'd guess... based on success. 1 point for 3s, 2 for 4s, 3 for 5s and 6s, and 4 for 7+. What do you guys think?

I wouldn't think it'd be that hard to just rebalance the points needed instead, since you could just ask yourself "How many rounds of a certain action do I want someone to have to spend to have this level of competency at it?" and then that's basically the combined experience cost. How that relates to attributes is a little trickier, of course.

Do note that basing experience gain on the number rolled will have something of a snowball effect, since if you're already getting +1 to a skill you're getting that many more experience-granting numbers. This also makes attributes more important in how competent you are in something, since it not only improves the skill, it improves the skill gain rate.

This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but you should keep it in mind.

Luck rolls won't effect skill gain. As they're... well... luck.

You think?

Yeah. I'm now thinking it increases not by your execution roll but by your first roll. As in, the very first roll in execution you make without bonuses. That way, in the later levels you won't just level level level, and at the same time you can learn things easily.

So, without counting modifiers, this will be the skill gain:
0 for 1s
0 for 2s
1 for 3s
2 for 4s
3 for 5s
3 for 6s

That okay with you guys?

[SeriousConcentrate]

I'm OK with that. I'm OK with a lot of things. >.>

Seriously, it's cool. Let's run with it and see what develops. ^^

[Draignean]

Am I waking up this round or am I waking up next round?

[Tarran]

Next round. After another dream.

Of course, you can always attempt to dream about something on purpose if you want.

[Draignean]

Dream of the good days, riding the charge, smiting evil with his brothers in arms. Dream of still being free and alive, before the siege.

[TolyK]

WOAH that guy is AWESOME!

"We could try to split, i dunno. The only thing is that I call dibs with Dostricht!"
(no, really? tugsten armor? that must way a hell of a lot! also, kinda fun too - it's heatproof as well ^^ )
Stick with Dostricht. Smooth the cave walls (i.e. remove stalegmites/stalectites/loose rocks/etc) using earth magic.

I'm OK with that. I'm OK with a lot of things. >.>

agreed.

er wow

(was lol'n on something else, i misread >.>)

[Darvi]

Dude, wait a sec. I'm gonna do the windy thing.

[TolyK]

Dude, wait a sec. I'm gonna do the windy thing.

oh noes.
Run out of the cave as quickly as possible
no, really, please don't.

If darvi ends up going with the wind:
Make a "bunker" out of the cave floor, get everyone in there before Darvi does his wind thing (this is supposed to protect us from the wind's effects, at least mostly)

If he does something else (a.k.a. something that's marginally reasonable):
Smooth walls throughout the cave (makes it easier to move)

er wow

I enjoy having a hyper-bum with an infinite supply of alcohol who dreams of being a lvl 90 paladin.

Now excuse my while a giggle insanely at the phrase hyper-bum for the next hour.
