((Darkling for the win!))

"Perhaps so." Kemler put his head on the grass and rested.

OOC: Cool forumites use Darkling theme so their light green fonts stand out. 

And always type in italics.

OOC: My laptop's backlight is failing, the bright white makes it easier to see...Thanks for the tip though . Also, sorry for being such a dick before. I didn't use a single ounce of tact...And I have no excuses for my behavior. Guess I was in a trollish mood. I hope that, in the future, we can possibly work together.

OOC: There is no forgiveness in these grimdark forums. No mercy. All insults will be repaid in kind a thousand times over in agony and horror. You have earned an enemy for life.

We are now destined to duel on a mountain of bones during a thunderstorm with swordhammers. There can be only one.

[kilakan]

you can give my spot away to someone, I am both extremely busy as well as sick, and I will be unable to continue.

[IronyOwl]

Ah, sorry to hear that. Hope you get better soon, and thanks for letting us know.

[Ochita]

I'm sorry to hear that Kilakan, I hope you get better.

Here's my character sheet.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name: Ochita the scholar
Caste: Male, human, grew up as a child to an adventurer. He doesn't know his mother, he's generally middle class.
Major: Water magic
Minor: Sword-fighting
Equipment: A fine steel sword, passed down from his father. (+1 to damage using said sword)
A notebook, that he keeps notes in. He can be seen with this when nothing much is happening, scribbling down notes.
Bio: Ochita is usually a quiet person, preferring his own company and the company of his notebook. When he does talk however, he seems happy to share large amounts of his history, often going on a bit too long, before he stops himself. He is a height of 5'6, which is a average height. He has plain brown hair, somewhat messy, but not out of control. He has blue eyes, and he shows a small amount of muscle, probably from physical training. He won't divulge much, but apparently he was raised by his father, alone. He was taught a bit of sword fighting at a young age, before he left to train under an ice mage. When he returned home, he stayed there for some time, before wanderlust took him, and he became a travelling scholar. How he got into this current situation, has not been told.
He comes from a moderately large port town, near the sea of transients.

Imma Drop too, School is a bitch and I cant run an RTD and keep up with another couple, Sorry.

[IronyOwl]

Alright, good luck then.

[Dwarmin]

Sorry to see you guys go.

And welcome to the game, Ochita and SC! 

[SeriousConcentrate]

Wasn't expecting another slot to open up so soon, uh, I'll have a character up quickly. ^^^;

[IronyOwl]

So, confession time. You know those ?s that indicate the experience required to achieve the next level? Those aren't because that's a hidden value, or varies between schools or characters or anything. That's because I hadn't finalized what the actual values should be.

Now that I've decided I really need to finalize those, I'm leaning towards one of the simpler solutions. This is what I'm currently considering, but I'd like feedback before I make it official.

Name	Bonus	Experience to Next Level	Total Experience to Attain
Inexperienced	-1	2	0
Dabbling	+0	4	2
Novice	+1	8	6
Apprentice	+2	16	14
Adept	+3	32	30
Expert	+4	64	62
Master	+5	128	126

In case it's not clear, experience resets (with excess carrying over) each level, so going from Inexperienced to Apprentice requires 14 exp (2+4+8), for instance.



EDIT: One other thing, regarding how to handle Dodging. Basically I'm thinking of three options.

1. There is no Dodge skill. There would presumably still be ways (armor, probably) to reduce the amount of dying you do.

2. There is a Dodge skill, but it's only leveled by devoting an entire turn to it. In other words, only an action of "I don't die" or similar grants Dodge exp, not simply being hit.

3. There is a Dodge skill, it's leveled with use, despite use being passive and automatic in this case.


I was originally going to go with 3, but when adding up what you're owed from the turns I wasn't tracking it, it turns out Micelus and Kilakan would already be Novice or almost Novice Dodgers from their shenanigans, assuming the numbers given in the table above. ಠ_ಠ

Spoiler: Character (click to show/hide)

Name: Athara Opanine
Caste: Aellar, female (Image of a male Aellar; Explanation)
Major: Wind Magic
Minor: Flight (racial ability)
Equipment: Simple clothing - Just an outfit of brown pants, short gray skirt over them, brown shortsleeved tunic, and black leather tall boots/short gloves.
Ram Dao - A sword given to her by her father.
Bio: An average Aellar with talent for magic who left her home to travel the world, and was sucked into the quest to find the pure elements. As for appearance, she's about 5'6, 98 pounds due to the light body needed for her brown-feathered eagle wings to work. She has brown eyes, long black hair in a ponytail, and fairly average elfin features.

Well, I don't really like 2. It would slow combat down to a crawl as certain people would do nothing but attempt dodges until they had a high enough skill they didn't have to worry about it. I have no preference towards 1 or 3, however.

[Dave1004]

So, we've lost some players, but gained some more! That's cool, I eagerly await the next turn! Also, IronyOwl, could you name the RTD "Legacy of Laz'Ka"? I think that it would be fitting, since I am the hero and all.

Well, hmm. I don't know. Darkmoon RTD Does sound nice, but...

[IronyOwl]

See, that'd be a problem because then it either wouldn't make sense or have to be changed back in three turns when you get disemboweled.
