Re: [OOC] A Stranger Land
 

I agree with you on those points but thats what I use to do before Imbuements. the problem I had was I needed to do weird combos, but imbuements solves all that. I like it because the power of my attacks are based on my ST not swing ST+1d6 (which is what it would be with innate attacks with the ST based enhancement). the other thing is that imbuements add enhancements to my attacks which is what I am aiming at with this concept. did you check the link?

imbuements also give me the greatest versatility. the telescoping reinforced cutting strike (which cost 3FP to use) can be used with a punch or kick (or elbow or knee). I see in most anime and cartoons with "powers" that most of it is the same thing with different names (dragon ball ki blast are just project blow + some other imbuement skill to give it a different effect, project penetrating annihilating strike + power blow = kamehameha wave)

I always forget about focused fury perk ^,^

the other character I was thinking of would be a gaint sword user. and I mean a really big sword. (ST18+ needed lol)

Re: [OOC] A Stranger Land
 

kk, If I did do a MH style mage it would probably be heavy on buffs... I think it has a really cool magic system if you want people to do long rituals and such.

P.S. Out of curiosity what scale? (Balance, cinematic-ness, different things to deal with, all three, something else entirely) Just confused by what you meant.

Re: [OOC] A Stranger Land
 

Another question, what will we use for armor? are you using LT or basic?

Re: [OOC] A Stranger Land
 

Hi guys just putting in my interest to play a generic warrior perhaps a barbarian. Will have a character soon.

Re: [OOC] A Stranger Land
 

Yes, it appears more clarification is in order :) -- sorry about any confusion.

By "semi-realistic" let's say that I'm fine with Hollywood-style realism for this world. Aside from spell-casting, characters should limit themselves to "exaggerated human" capacity. Since your characters aren't actually native to this new world, I'm willing to give a bit of leeway, but this isn't an Anime world, it isn't even a DF world.

I won't balk at a few cinematic fighting skills, or even some of the subtler supernatural traits like Medium or Oracle -- but a GM's gotta draw the line somewhere.
zoncxs may be able to talk me into something close to Jet Li from The One, but fireball-spitting and weapon-sprouting are well beyond the line this time.

Sorry, zoncxs, but your Gajiru character will have to wait for a more appropriate game-reality. If you can tone it down to something approximately human, that'd be cool :)

And for armors, I prefer LT myself, but if you'd rather simplify things and go Basic, that's fine, too.

Re: [OOC] A Stranger Land
 

okie dokie then, will post concept soon. even for me, "the One" is too much lol

Re: [OOC] A Stranger Land
 

to Lamech -- just glanced through RPM, it does look very cool. Just keep in mind what I said in my first post -- there may be some unanticipated changes in the way your magicks work out.

to Barna10 -- some initial thoughts:
You're a smidgen shy on skill points, but I won't be picky about that because you've got a good selection of practical skills there.
You can spend as much as you like on gear enchantments because, um... see my first post :)
Finally, those Disad's have a lot of personality and I'm not going to disallow them outright, but I have to say that an Overconfident Trickster seems doomed to a short lifespan. Also, from a GM's point of view, nothing says "Please screw with me!" like Weirdness Magnet; I will probably have more fun with that one than you will :)
However, in fairness to the other players who may have to deal with said weirdness, I have to give them the right to vote out Weirdness Magnet if they think it'll be too troublesome (it seems almost to be a 'group disadvantage').

Re: [OOC] A Stranger Land
 

No problem, and sorry about the skills. Meant to post a question asking if Languages could count as skills. I'll switch out the weirdness magnet. I'll repost him soon
