Ok, so maybe only one subforum would be a better idea to use then making multiple subforums.

And how messy was RPS without subforums?


not bad at all actually... There was only the rules, character creation, character submission, active adventurers, shop, 2 dungeons, and the tavern.

(haha, I'm about to make life even more complicated too, if Fargore lets me get away with it... rofl )

Also as I pointed out on the other page. Organizations will probably be working together in the beginning to complete quests. That will be a whole lot more manageable if this all in one sub forum.  
PostPosted: Tue Jan 08, 2008 6:13 pm
I think one subforum would be best so I will make it as soon as the organizations are set, and I hope to post the current her in a little while (tonight).

And you know there’s not a whole lot of point in donating to the guild right, it has as much money as it needs. If you’re going to donate gold, donate it to your favorite DM. wink xd

I took both suggestions for buff support and made it so that you can either get one point in a specific stat or spend 2 CP to be able to buff any characters stats.

For divine shield since Fury said it was the low CP cost to get the skill that was bad I increased the CP cost to 6. If that’s no good then I will take any suggestion that I’m given to balance it.

Added a notation for Reflect

Familiar and ghost rewarded so that they die if the user does and they can be stunned.

I also dropped the CP of status Undead to 4 because GC said it was not as good as Phoenix and should have a lower cost.

I think we should wait for now on any official connection between the organizations, what we can do is include association references in the descriptions for now and maybe later when we have enough orgs. to make it fair we can run some special events to start combining them. I think things are complicated enough right now with them just being introduced. We can always continue the discussion and implement it later when we have a consensus.

With all that, this would be the current final product.

All looks good to me!  
PostPosted: Tue Jan 08, 2008 6:59 pm
New for the Illuminati:
Master Caster: 2CP
Chose one spell you own, this lowers the cost of that spell depending on the total MP cost of the spell. You may only have 1 rank per spell. Max 3 ranks total.
1 to 5 MP = -1MP
6 to 10 MP = -2 MP
You may not change your choice, even if you no longer own the spell.

New for The Crypt:

Essence Burden: CP4
Once per Combat, for every 5 damage you cause after resistances and defenses of a single attack, you may instead reduce the target enemies life stat by 1. Round down if needed. The life stats return at the end of combat, but the health does not.

did you change you mind on these? You said they would be implemented, but i don't see them on there. Just wondering, cause it'll make a big dif in what org i choose smile

How about throwing in the caveat for Divine Shield that you cannot use the Party MP?

Why not? The MP is saved to be used by the party, so couldn't it also be used to protect the party?

I may be overreacting to the power balance of Divine Shield; I'm just throwing out another idea to provide an option. If it gets shot down by the rest of you cause you think Divine Shield is fine the way it is, I got no problem with that.  
PostPosted: Tue Jan 08, 2008 7:32 pm
Amp your abilities have been added. So everyone just consider them to be in there as well.

And gladiators, what if I reduced the CP back down to 2 and made it require 2 MP per a charge?

PostPosted: Tue Jan 08, 2008 7:48 pm
I can swallow that, if there are no more issues I can post them officially tomorrow.

Or a thing that might allow it to still be 1MP is make a limit to the exact damage it can block from one source. Lets say it can block up to 15-20 damage. After that, the shield breaks before blocking the whole attack. Would that maybe fix the problem, also?
