[Dwarmin]

Name:Dwarlamin Oyalar

Dwarlamin was convinced most of his fellows would die.
Look at that one! Barely able to lift his spear! A common wood cutter.
Or the hunter-good for fighting a witless beast, agreed, but he would run in terror when he faced a bone necklace tribesman!
A shaman? Superstition! No ghosts could harm a warrior like him-not with his trusty wooden spear, passed down from his father.

some special actions i just thought. i may come up with some more later in game. i am also open to suggestions, although i may not use them or adapt them to fit "my vision"

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

a shaman, through the ingestion of poisonous mushrooms can trance and predict the next roll of a chosen tribesman. this will give them a mild poisoning, through a critical roll(1) can increase the severity of said poisoning. other classes can use this ability as well, but the critical roll is more likelly(<4)
a shaman can also read the next roll of a chosen tribesman in the guts of a newly captured animal, with only the risk of a failed reading

a hunter can emulate the call of a bird to comunicate with other tribesmen without alerting the wildlife, for example, informing the other hunters he found a large animal track. A critical roll means he fails to emulate the bird perfectly and alerts the wildlife. Like with the previously mentioned actions, other classes can try this, but with higher chance of critical failure.

[kilakan]

I like the ideas, but for a reference point, many shamans build up a tolerance to a chosen method of semi-poisonous mushroom, so over the course of the game, a shaman could theoretically gain resistance to the poison, making criticalmiss do less damage.  On the hunter side, have bird calls eventually allow them to call birds, like hawks to help hunt smaller animals, and maybe even progress to calling other beasts like coyotes and wolves.  Sort of like a specialty skill up, that only that class can gain levels in?

[Askot Bokbondeler]

the tolerance thing is already represented by the lower chance of critical failure, i think, and i don't want this kind of divination to ever be completely risk free, one can do much with the knowledge of the future already

as for summoning animals and such, eh, that's not really the game i had in mind, that seems a little too gamey for my tastes.
 i also plan for classes to be non restrictive, that means, everybody can try every action, and you will gain experience in that action every time you use it, classes just represent what you were trained as when you were growing up, but if, for example, a shaman trained tribesman kills a cannibal, he can bring the bone trinket back to the tribe as his tribute, and will be glorified as a warrior, provided that he or some other tribesman brings some painkiller flowers with his group

i'm finishing what i needed to do(my gf's assignment -.-'), i may still start the game today

[Askot Bokbondeler]

i've updated the op with the player list and a list of sugested action, feel free to pick your actions from there or not, i will add your most creative, interesting or usefull actions to the op as well

the game has started!
__________________________________________________________________________________________________

It is noon, and your bellies are full. You are lively and excited.
You find yourselves in the sacred grove, surrounding you by all sides is a forest with thick undergrowth.
You can hear a faint sound of running water to the west.
At the centre of the grove lies a large vertical stone, that when viewed from a certain side resembles a face with an angry expression... you cannot unsee it, now, and it frightens you.
You know that a day's travel to the south lies your tribe's camp, and that five days away to the north lies the white mountain.

[Taricus]

Look for suitable wood for crafting.

[Askot Bokbondeler]

you look around the groove for wood suitable for crafting: the trees are of a good wood, but you have no way of felling them and you feel it wouldn't be very wise to fell a tree in a sacred grove. (roll:1) All the broken branches you see on the ground are rotten and unusable. A bird flying by hits you in the head with its yesterday's meal.


you can scout the surrounding area for a few hours, if you want, but you will only get feedback by the end of the turn

[Taricus]

Scout the surronding area after removing the birds last meal from my head.

[scriver]

Make Taric company as he scouts to make sure he is safe.

Because you never know with those birds, I hear they mark their prey by shitting on them to make them easier to tell in large groups.

[Frelock]

Scout off towards the west, looking for the running water.

[Dwarmin]

Frel might need help if he runs into something big...

Travel with and protect Frel
