Malkavian Grin Posted May 12, 2023 Clone Share Posted May 12, 2023 Interesting stuff taking shape here. So far everything looks correct! For your random Power, just roll 1d20; 1-10 is Unclean, 11-20 is Sacred. Here's hoping you only get beneficial stuff 😉 Since you're not using a Class, you can delete the Melee Ability entry. Now, what's really interesting is your Troubling Tale. You heal twice as much, but your companions only heal half as much. That's brutal. But you'll also literally have a guardian being of some nature protecting you. I'll let you come up with their shape and form, or I can find something appropriate if you like. Now, if this being dies, the healing shenanigans go away. Keep this in mind. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couch Potato Rex Posted May 12, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted May 12, 2023 Yeah, got some real fun stuff starting here. Laughed hard when I rolled the minimum for hp, but that has its appeal too. Laughed even harder at the Troubling Tale. Was thinking I'd buy some scrolls with starting cash, really lean into the caster concept knowing that spell failure will be trouble for a low health character. As to shenanigans well it's like someone once said, "Death is a doorway, Time is a river, the Door is ajar." Or something zen-sounding like that!

Keep in mind you use Presence to cast so it's going to be a hurdle for that advantage. Scrolls and Ochre Tablets are randomly priced. You can't use tablets right now, so a scroll will cost you d20+40 silver. Roll d20 to figure out what scroll you get sold (1-10 is Unclean, 11-20 is Sacred) 1 hour ago, Couch Potato Rex said: As to shenanigans well it's like someone once said, "Death is a doorway, Time is a river, the Door is ajar."

If you manage to hit a duplicate on a d20, that's all the scrolls the vendor has for now. Sorry I wasn't clear; the d20 represents with Power rolled too. If you roll 12, that's the 2nd Sacred Power. A 7 is the 7th Unclean Power. A 19 is the 9th Sacred, etc. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couch Potato Rex Posted May 13, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted May 13, 2023 Oh, I see. With the charts labelled with a 1d10 I jumped to a conclusion. Alright, so I should roll for a scroll and then if not a duplicate roll for price and decide whether to purchase or not, yes? Also, what is the extra background you mentioned in the "The Road to Hell" thread? Didn't see anything about that.

Malkavian Grin Posted May 13, 2023 Clone Share Posted May 13, 2023 Yeah, sorry about that. The thing with rule-lite systems is they also tend to be light on proper organization and maintaining a proper "base" to work from. I like to have all my core stuff defined exactly, but I also really like "rulings over rules" so I'm fine explaining things and combing through rules as they come up. It's a give and take with these systems. As for the process, you nailed it; roll d20 for specific scroll, if not a duplicate, then roll for price and choose to buy or not. I'd like to put a max of 5 scroll rolls, though, so you aren't cycling through the entire list. Vendors just don't have that many scrolls at a time. I'm offering people, privately, an extra background once their character is basically finished. We'll tend to that once you've got everything recorded on your sheet.

Malkavian Grin Posted May 18, 2023 Clone Share Posted May 18, 2023 @Couch Potato Rex Okay, you still need to list out your equipment, silver (you've 16 pieces left after the scrolls), and how many Powers you have for the day (this gets rerolled when resting; whatever you roll now is what you start with day 1).

Couch Potato Rex Posted May 28, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted May 28, 2023 Having difficulty maintaining forward momentum working on this character. Honestly not sure why, but i know it doesn't bode well for posting rate or even quality of posts so I need to remove myself from applying. I really like the system/setting and, if I may, I'd like to stay on as a reader. Perhaps somewhere down the line if the opportunity is available I could try again.

Malkavian Grin Posted May 28, 2023 Clone Share Posted May 28, 2023 No worries! Sometimes life's just funny like that. I appreciate you letting me know. You are welcome to read along. I just realized I need to make it so you and Choomie can both read the in-character thread. This is the kind of system that I think introducing a new character to the mix won't be difficult. Just say the word and we'll figure it out. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
