[RP] Dark Arts
« on: August 30, 2011, 06:24:47 AM »
Magic is the tool of evil.
Only twisted men with horrible goals are able to wield it. To them it is a great asset, but to the forces of good, it must be stopped. Many great wars have been fought over the magic, and many great men have fallen to evil trying to obtain it.
In a time of desperation, people turn to warriors of good to save them, and destroy evil. However, with many obstacles and enemies in the way, it will not be an easy battle.
The world is in constant need of new soldiers.
Are you a coward, or will you join the fight?

============================================================================================

Races:

Human: The standard race, no bonuses or disadvantages.

Strength - Agility - Intelligence - Accuracy - Evasion - Health
   +/-0       +/-0          +/-0           +/-0         +/-0      +/-0

Half-Breed: Half-Breeds are part animal and part human. Nobody knows how the first half-breeds came along, but they are fairly common. Half-breeds tend to be more aggressive and powerful than other races, but lack intelligence.

Strength - Agility - Intelligence - Accuracy - Evasion - Health
   +2           -1             -2             +/-0           -1         +2

Celestial: Before written records, a group of people with advanced technology was found on an island. They were believed to be from the stars due to the magnificence of their city. Nobody knows where they are originally from. Celestials are more intelligent than other races, although physically weaker.

Strength - Agility - Intelligence - Accuracy - Evasion - Health
   -2          +/-0         +3              +1           +/-0        -2

Demon spawn: One of the eldest sentient species on the planet, the Demon Spawn are strong, albeit slightly more fragile than other races. Their intelligence is equal to that of a half-breed, though they are much faster.

Strength - Agility - Intelligence - Accuracy - Evasion - Health
   +1           +2            -2               -1             +1        -1
 
=============================================================================================


Combat:

Combat will take the form of a dice based system. Different weapons will have different die rolls. All dice rolls will use this format: x d n, where x is the number of dice and n is the number of sides on the die. For example, a weapon with 3d6 means that, for a normal attack, 3 six-sided dice will be rolled. The damage of that attack will be between 3 and 18.
The dice format will appear in some abilities as well, such as a Scholar's First Aid.

In combat, the unit with the highest agility will go first. They may either attack, use an ability, or flee. If two units have the same agility, then it is decided by Evasion. If their evasion is the same, then a 6-sided die will be rolled, whoever rolls higher goes first.

Evasion and Accuracy: Every point of accuracy increases the chance you will hit by one percent, up to, of course, 100%. Every point of Evasion decreases the chance you will be hit by two percent. For example, if Player 1 has 10 accuracy and Enemy has 10 Evasion, then Player 1 has a 90% chance to hit Enemy with a regular attack.

Strength: Every point of strength multiplies your melee attack power by .1, so 10 strength does nothing to your melee attack power, whereas a strength of 15 will multiply melee attack power by 1.5. So, if Player 1 has 15 strength and rolls a 6 on his attack roll, then he will do 9 damage.

Agility: As mentioned above, Agility controls the order of attacks. Agility also acts as the strength of ranged attacks. So every point of Agility multiplies your Ranged attack power by .1.

=============================================================================================


Traits:

(Traits can be used by any class or race. A maximum of two may be selected, but none need to be chosen.)

Brutality - You are more Brutal than your fellow adventurers. This trait increases strength while hindering your accuracy. [+1 strength, -1 Accuracy]

Four Eyes - Your vision is impaired, and you require glasses. This somehow makes you smarter, though. [+1 Intelligence, -1 Accuracy]

Small Frame - You are smaller than others. This makes you weaker, but more agile. [+1 Agility and Evasion, -1 Strength and Health]

Calm Mind - Your mind is at peace. Although you take longer to launch attacks, they are more thought through, and rarely miss. [+2 Accuracy, -2 Agility]

Thick Skin - With thicker skin, you are able to resist more attacks and survive longer than others. However, you are less agile. [+2 Health, -1 Agility and Evasion]

Paranoia - You are always worried that something will happen. This keeps you on edge and ready to dodge attacks. [+1 Evasion, -1 Intelligence]

Narrarator:
     All of the new recruits are gathered in the town center of Aden. A high ranking general paces the perimeter of a raised circular platform in the middle, lecturing the recruits.
"You all have gathered from all parts of the world, for one purpose. That purpose is to fight evil. Before you can begin to adventure on your own, you must pass a test. To the south of this town there is a small cave, full of weak goblins. We haven't slain them yet for this reason alone. You are to venture there in groups and exterminate the goblins. Each group must bring back 3 goblin heads to receive their equipment. For now, you shall be fine with simple wooden weapons."
The general crossed the platform, now standing above a table with piles of weapons made of wood. There were swords, axes, clubs, knives, and staffs (all 1d3) to choose from, as well as a few shields (10%)
"On this table lie the weapons you will use to complete this mission. Please take only what you need."

Stoore:
Stoore hadn't understood some of what the general had said. However, he did know that he was to take a weapon from the table, and quickly grabbed a sword and shield. They didn't seem too strong, but they would have to do for now. Now he had to find a group. People who knew each other stuck together, so Stoore had a hard time.

Neil stood amongst the crowd of fighters, listening to what the general was saying.  He looked down at the pitiful pile of weapons with distugst.
"How the hell am I supossed to kill anything with these?"
He picked up a knife and a staff and began sharpening one end of the staff with the knife to make a spear.  He looked over to the person next to him, who was wielding a sword and shield.  Knowing that he would have to be part of a group, he decided the best thing to do is start forming one.  He walked up to the man with the sword and shield.
"Greetings. You seem like a strong warrior, what do you say to starting a group with me?"

Pierre looked around at the crowd of recruits.  "Hmmm... I better grab and staff and a knife.  I'm also not much of a fighter, I better pair myself with a strong looking group."

Pierre walked up to the weapons and grabbed a knife and a staff.  He noticed a man sharpening a staff, next to a big looking character.

Walking over he introduced himself.

"Hi, my name is Pierre.  Would you mind if I joined your group?"

"Thank you, I hope to be an asset to our group."

Pierre pulled out a book, sat down, adjusted his glasses and started reading.  There was no use in worrying about it, he seemed to have joined a strong group.

Stoore looked at the man who had approached him with a confused look on his face. He hadn't seen one of those weapons on the table, had the man gotten it elsewhere?
"Umm.. Okay."
Stoore responded to the request to join his group. He seemed nice now, but Stoore wondered if that would change.

Stoore looked the new man over. He noticed a lack of muscles, and wasn't sure if he should let him join their group.

Pierre looked up from his book.

"There are other ways to measure strength you know.  Just because someone looks weak doesn't mean they are."

Pierre calmly went back to reading his book.  It wasn't his decision after all.

Lord Stefan glared disprovingly at the general from beneath his mask. This fool was but an infant in his eyes, likely with half the experience in command. Regardless, he followed the orders of his superior, taking two wooden swords from the table. He turned to face the others, doing his best to distinguish the non-hackers from the ones with real potential.
A single group stood out to him, containing a Scholar, a Defender, a Druid, and an Archer. Perhaps a large group for such a small task, but nobody ever one a war by leveling with the enemy. He approached them
"Gentlemen."

Stefan nodded to the man with the spear, then turned to face the Scholar.
"I am Lord Stefan DeCanto, once the ruler of my fellow Demons. And you are a scholar. Stay behind the rest of us."
Stefan remembered overseeing battles from his time on the throne, and had very quickly learned that nothing was more detrimental to a squad's survival than a medic who forgot that he can't bring himself back from the dead.
"This particular venture shouldn't be much trouble, but it's best to get into the habit."
