!!Scientist!!: Talarion
Test Name: Age of Conflict Combat Mechanics Test
Test Type: Combat
Required Number Of Subjects: 2-5
Rolls to be filled: 1 Gunperson, 1 Thrower, 1 Melee (Blade or Blunt), 1 Polearm user, 1 Mage
Tag: Red
Goal: Testing the combat mechanics of my upcoming game, Age of Conflict. Technically they can be done as separate tests, so only 2 test subjects are required. For the allies-get-hurt blunder roll, if it happens.

!!Test Subject!! La reporting, !!Scientist!! Talarion Sir!

Well - I had an idea for a human exorcist knife thrower (or knife meleer, or both) as my PC, so will that do for your test?

[scriver]

I want to have horrible experiments done on me as well! I am open to fill whatever role you'd want me to.

[wolfchild]

I'll help test

[Talarion]

Aye, though I'd rather keep roles separate at the moment. Which role do you prefer, Iawas? Melee, Thrower or Mage?

Scriver, pick a role you'd like to fill, any of them are good, so it depends on your preference really.

You pick a role too, Wolfninja

[scriver]

I think I'm gonna go with Mage, then, seeming as that's the way my ghost seem to be heading in my head. Polearm and Gunner as seconds choices.

I'm also available for other tests as well, should I be needed, of course.

Spoiler: Signing up for adwarf's Test (click to show/hide)

@adwarf: since you didn't specify whether or not you need a sensible character and wanted to test balance, I've decided to make as unbalanced a character as possible with as little bias a possible. This was done by having a random word generator give me about 40 most obscure nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs and interjections, then hand-picking the most imba and/or awesome-sounding words from that bunch, shuffling them and putting the first ten here.
Have fun!

Position: Test Player #3
5 Words: Underministry, Pseudoryx, Prestimulation, Coprecipitate, Whillikers
5 More Words: Debused, Superspecializing, Basiating, Portentously, Zounds

I'd also like to be a Polearm User for the Red test.

[lawastooshort]

Aye, though I'd rather keep roles separate at the moment. Which role do you prefer, Iawas? Melee, Thrower or Mage?

Scriver, pick a role you'd like to fill, any of them are good, so it depends on your preference really.

You pick a role too, Wolfninja

Thrower please! (also it's an L, for La, which is generally too short as a log in name )



Mechanics questions edit:
Which stat will throwing be dependent on? I presume knife melee would be STR based?
(I have a character idea and wanted to think about it after re-looking at your first post in the other thread)

[Talarion]

Oh. Your name makes sense now o-o my apologies, La.

And... Well, sort of. Not really. Agility. The throwing weapons are generally weighted so that they are driven home as long as they can reach the mark (Essentially) but strength helps as well. By the way, gunning will be based on perception, and magic will be based on intelligence/willpower.

[lawastooshort]

Oh. Your name makes sense now o-o my apologies, La.

That's ok, it is a silly name and you're not the first

And another question then - the skill points. If I had 2 points of Throwing, what would that add? To hit or to damage? (apologies if I missed an explanation in the original post, and apologies for delaying your testing )

[Talarion]

I don't mind at all. Also, you did miss something. Throwing is a skill branch, not an actual skill. There will be various skills that you can obtain through leveling. They might be bonii to hit or damage, they might be negating negatives to called shots or they might be skills like double throw or something. And I actually won't be testing tonight, because it's after midnight for me, but I will get a skill list for you guys to choose from tomorrow, and hopefully start.

[lawastooshort]

Ah ok, I see - I will leave any further questions till tomorrow then and will look forward to it

[wolfchild]

Il be in as melee, unless someone else wants that in which case I'll go mage

[adwarf]

I'd like to be a subject here, since Shil's button color thing seems to be dead.

Position: Test Subject #2
5 Words: Judicator, Light, Form, Yellow, Fuzzy
5 More Words: Ichor, Sharp, Stand, Belay, Blockade

Powers - Alchemy - You can control the things around you changing their forms, shape, density, etc. to be what you wish.
Lvl. MAX - You are a master of your ability easily changing what you wish to (PP Cost - Varies)
Status:
HP - 10/10
PP - 25/25
Judgement - You may negate one attack every 5 turns
Being of the Moon - You are basically a werewolf at night you turn to your true form, and gain immense strength, and endurance, but during the day you are nothing, but a mere World Jumper.
Inventory:
Blood of a God -[/i] You have no idea what this vial's liquid does, but it radiates pure power, and overwhelms your senses if you focus on it.
Ocean's Spear -[/i] You have no idea what this trident does, but it seems to grow stronger when near, or in water.

[Talarion]

Missing a gunner, but I guess I can test it separately.

I guess I will run a series of test rounds to test each concurrent level of skills, maxing at 5 to begin with, then I'll adjust or finalize as necessary.

As I forgot to do this earlier... I will start running tests tomorrow, but here are the skills. Opinions would be very useful in developing these skills more.

I AM open to suggestions and changes. Please, I want your opinions if nothing else ^^
