Spoiler: Further Refinement (click to show/hide)

Kai Name: Golden Blade
Race: Elf
Rank: Intiate (1) <---what you start at
Disciplines: Sixth Sense, Weapon Training: War Scythe
Starting Weapon: War Scythe

-Stats-
Strength: 5+1
Endurance: 4
Agility: 6+1
Intelligence: 3
Charisma: 3

Bio/Physical Appearance/Personality: Golden Blade has short, red hair and gray eyes. He has pale skin, and a lean build. He is 6'1 and wears plain clothes normally. He has a long scar along his chin. He has a quiet demeanor, and doesn't talk much. He gets very aggressive when the things he cares about are being threatened, however, and this mannerism gave him his name. He was a Dark Elf, and was born into service of the Darklords... but due to certain beliefs he was also born with, he was cast away, or rather, he exiled himself at a young age. He actively trained to fight against the Darklords, training in fast, accurate and deadly attacks with his weapon of choice; favouring his speed over his strength, due to his speed naturally being higher.

Edit: Oh damnit, sorry for double post.

[Dwarmin]

Make sure you add your extra point to strength or agility from your starting bonus.

[Talarion]

I added them as +1. Or do I get the permanent bonus aswell?

[Dwarmin]

Oy, there's actually two

+1 to strength and agility in combat when wielding you chosen weapon type <--you assigned this one

(Starting Bonus) Physical conditioning gives an additional +1 to strength OR agility to be applied even without wielding your weapon, your choice.

Starting bonuses apply to your first two choices of disciplines.

[Talarion]

Ah okay. I'll add it to be strength, make them equal.

Edit: I just read the second post, and saw you missed one of my changes. I took one point off Charisma and Intelligence each, added them both to Strength. (Bringing it up to 6 with starting bonus)

[Dwarmin]

Edit: Your current one hasn't been updated yet.

All right, I'll add Discipline skills to the listed abilities, as well. Your char sheet is on the top.

By War Scythe, you meant a long polearm like weapon, right? Or was it more a shorter weapon you used for slashing?
Polearms give you ability to repel enemies, but do less damage than a weapon meant for close striking. Feel free to suggest any personal items you would want, that fit in your characters background.

Also, I've also done some weapon balancing-Sheltering Leaves battle gloves were looking pretty scummy, anyway.

And nerfed foresight gained from Sixth Sense-it was a little too powerful
And I forgot it last battle.

[Talarion]

By War Scythe I meant a scythe intended for combat. So yeah, a long polearm. As for personal items.. Aside from his clothes, he has none.

[Dwarmin]

All right. Back on track! I feel everyone might be confused as to what to do at this point.  ..especially Taricus...

Since one room you've already explored, and another is an obvious dead end/dimensional deathtrap, that leaves two choices for the rest of the party.

A. Head back to the East door and face a giant demon head that speaks riddles and breathes fire. Passing will get you acess to a teleporter of some sort, which could possible lead you to freedom. Maybe.

B. Make your way through the beasts tunneled cavern back to the fountain room, fighting a optional mini-boss on the way, unless you can dodge it somehow. It has tentacles.


Everyone cast a vote in 24 hours, or It will be left up to fate.

[SeriousConcentrate]

I'll vote B.

[Talarion]

Oh, just curious, but how does the rank system work? And, is it possible to get more than one discipline?

[Taricus]

B

[Dwarmin]

Oh, just curious, but how does the rank system work? And, is it possible to get more than one discipline?

Every completed chapter gives your Kai an additional rank, which gives you two more disciplines (sans starting bonuses) in addition to extra HP and two extra stat points.

Modifying from SeriousConcentrates system. Nixed the last line, since you can earn skills by overcoming optional bosses and challenges instead, if I can't justify a loot reward.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

For every mission the character survives, the GM rolls against their Endurance. If the roll is a success,  the number rolled is added to their HP. Dom, the example character, has a 6 in Endurance, so if she rolls a 5 she gets 5 additional HP, but if she rolls 9 she gets nothing. Also after each mission, the character can either raise a stat by two points up to the maximum of 9, or pick a new skill

[Talarion]

Fair enough. Now I'm eager to get into the game and RP ... How many chapters have passed so far?

[Dwarmin]

Fair enough. Now I'm eager to get into the game and RP ... How many chapters have passed so far?

We're on the tail end of the first chapter right now.

The party has to escape from the Trap Masters basement, fight their way past the last Greycloaks, and face the source of evil at the bottom of the dungeon.

[Talarion]

Hmm okay. Do you mind if I add in a few more flavor elements to my character? I've been reading the earlier shenanigans of the party and thinking of things for my character.
