I think we should use generic currency.

0 (0%)

I think we should use original currencies the way Araph listed them.

I think we should use original currencies, but with a conversion rate of 100:10:1

1 (20%)

I think we should use original currencies, but with a simpler conversion rate (post your ideas if you chose this).

I'm quite happy to work with it, I like maths after all

[The Fool]

It was just a thought. There were pieces of 8, basically Spanish gold coins broken into 8ths, so it's not unheard of beyond the Romans. It just seemed like an odd idea. It would work though.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Well, I'm willing to work with original currencies if there's a little less of them. Could we not have just sult -> quil -> tanid? The other two, to me, seem a little like padding. ^^^;

[Hubris Incalculable]

You should have seen pre-decimal British money.

1 pound = 8 Half Crowns = 10 florins = 20 shillings = 40 sixpence coins = 80 threepence coins = 240 pence = 480 halfpenny coins

[SeriousConcentrate]

Combination of  and to that.

I like the idea of special currencies, but make generic currency optional if the Game Master of session who uses your rules isn't so good at math.

That's what I was planning on doing.

Yes about the other two; I doubt some of them will be too widely used. I'm not sure which coins will and won't be used, but it's a bit similar to how we have $1, $5, and $10 bills. In games like this it doesn't matter what denomination your money is stored as, since you don't have to really deal with keeping track of it. In real life, though, it's easier to have more varied worths for coins and dollars; that's my logic for putting the different coins in the game.

And because I felt like it. That was another big reason.

EDIT: Due to the current lack of research done about item values, you all get some freedom with your inventories. If you're a combat-oriented person, you can choose armor and weapons from the list I'm creating now (at the end of the document on Google Docs) and if you're a spellcaster you can create two or three simple starting spells. Our enchanter can start with an item enchanted with a spell, but only gets one or two other spells to begin with. If you have a different character (like the doctor or the assassin), it's assumed you have equipment related to that profession (portable medical equipment, lockpicks, etc.).

Other miscellaneous equipment you basically get for free. Encumbrance isn't in effect now, so there's no need to check about weight limits just yet. There isn't a giant list of equipment either, so you have to think of what you're carrying on your own.

Game in a little less than three hours!

Where and how are we playing again? I'm far too lazy to look

[Araph]

Let's see...

Maptool, version... what was it... b87. Yeah.

And the server name will be TTRPG, with a password of Urist.

Two hours left!

And when will we be choosing this starting equipment? What's happening AAAAAAAAAAAA

Well, you get to choose starting equipment now. Any weapons, armor, and miscellaneous equipment you'd like to have you can (in the case of weapons and armor) choose from the list at the bottom of the thing on Google Docs or (in the case of other items) just add to your inventory and we'll make up the specifics of what they do as we go along.

Also, I accidentally missed your gifts and flaws; would you be amenable to having Detect Weakness give a bonus to damage and Drug Addiction require progressively harder concentration checks if you don't take the drug?

Spoiler: Gift and Flaw (click to show/hide)

Detect Weakness: Through intensive study, you have acquired an intimate knowledge of the body's weaknesses. You gain a +1 bonus to damage rolls.

Drug Addiction: You have a dependency on some substance, and suffer withdrawals if you fail to utilize that drug regularly. For every action you take after the drug wears off, you must make a concentration check equal to the number of units of time you have been clean multiplied by the potency of the drug. Also, every skill check you make suffers a penalty equal to the number of units of time you have been clean.

What drug is Gatarn addicted to?
And finally, what Knowledge skill does he have points invested in? Knowledge, Survival, Observance, and all the Vocational skills have multiple categories.

[Gatleos]

I assumed the Detect Weakness effect would go along with the aimed attacks system, but a damage bonus is fine too. As for the drug... well, I kept it vague because I don't know what drugs exist in this universe. I suppose it's something opium-like. Fairly common and inexpensive in most places, harder to find in others.

I suppose the knowledge skill can refer to mechanics. He is a dwarf, after all.

Equipment:
Small leather pouch of [Opuimesque Substance] on waist
[Opuimesque Substance] pipe
Leather boots/pants
Brass knuckle (right hand)

[Araph]

You can just say opium.

Server up, though I'm not sure why I can't name it... Gah.

Since I can't name it, use this IP to connect: 64.55.111.22. Hopefully that'll work.
