A few ideas I have for a Nes

[Vertinari118]

I wasn't referring to you Thomas I was referring to someone else. You have been quite civil in your arguments I found one person was slightly less.

I have changed changed my mind again. Now wereanimals can only be mammals and my reason is this lycanthropy is caused by a mutation that allows for rapid cellular breakdown and growth this means that a person with lycanthropy can assume their chosen form in minutes. This is also why lycanthropes heal quickly. The illness causes allergies to silver and wolfsbane amongst other things. Both silver and wolfsbane can be fashioned into weapons to harm and kill lycanthropes much more easily than with normal weapons. As humans, elves and most other races I have designed lack scales, feathers and hollow bone they cannot assume these forms. Mammals tend to follow the same template as each other hair, normal non hollow bones etc. if you chose an exotic mammal which processes features not present in humans, and I will look them up, expect me to reject it or put limitations on. Is this o.k Thomas, flying chicken and any other readers?

 

[thomas.berubeg]

that's fine

 

[Vertinari118]

Professions are up. I may end up calling them classes now and again because I am use to D & D. The warrior and rogue professions are called base professions this means if you want to be an elven ranger pick elf as your race and warrior as your profession and then start describing what you want your ranger to be able to do, try to back up your abilities with your back story. Eg. a ranger may have orcs as his, for lack of a better term, favored enemy if his family were killed by them when he was ten. You get the idea? If you want more classes I can make them for you. Next on the hit list is magic and maybe some back story. I ask again I have some info on the Gods and Goddesses of Altor do you want me to post it?

 

[Vertinari118]

Hello anyone there?

 

[Vertinari118]

I have decided to convert this thread into a pre nes for Altor as it seemed most popular and I have done a lot of work on it. I even downloaded, at my peril, new software to make a new map with!

 

[germanicus12]

I shall join as a Human Warrior. The best warrior in the realm of Altor! Kings jump over each other to hire me....

So what do I need to do?

 

[Vertinari118]

I haven't got round to making stats yet but they will be very similar to D & D. Decide how you want your warrior to develop, paladin, ranger, plain warrior etc. and then I will post what you rolled. Back up your decisions on how you want your warrior to develop with a back story, this will help if you decide to do something usual by making me more likely to accept it. I will not post what you rolled in number form that would make it too easy for the player and reduce the role play aspect of the game, that is if my experiences with D & D are anything to go by. I with have the numbers and I will do rolls for characters as appropriate. I intend to make this Nes player orientated so if you want to do something unusual or different or that I haven't mentioned just ask and I will try to sort something out.

In short write a general outline of your character's life and abilities you want him to have.

 

[Vertinari118]

Stat rules are up. I promise Magic is next and then Back story. Now can you please tell me what I still need to write about after those two cause I swear I am missing something. I ask FOR THE LAST TIME do you want my INFO on GODS and GODDESSES? I warn you its not very Nes friendly at the moment but I think its ok.

 

[Neverwonagame3]

1- I'll join this game as a Human Warrior.

2- That might be good.

 

[thomas.berubeg]

I'll be a Gnome magi

 

[Vertinari118]

That should be Magus because Magi is plural. Thats fine same post back story and what areas of magic you wish to know and your away. You might want to wait until I have the rules on magic up.
Germanicus do you wish to join as a no frills killer? That's fine, if you do, but I still need an idea of what your character is good at. Is he strong, dexterous etc.?

 

[Neverwonagame3]

Can I start with rolling stats and stuff?

Name: _____ (something appropriate for a minor nobleman)

Backstory:
The second son of a minor nobleman, _____ had ambitions to found his own dynasty. In order not to be accused of merely being a large jump to an existing dynasty (and not seeing the flaws in that logic), he

Character:
Cunning but cowardly, he hopes to suceed by diplomacy, manipulation, and generalship- not force of arms.

 

[Vertinari118]

I have rolled your stats but I intended for this to be a 'black box' game so you tell me if your character is intelligent or stupid, strong or weak etc. and I will allocate the numbers you rolled accordingly and post your stats in word form. Or I can just allocate them where I think is best and you get the word form again. I want to do stats this way to increase the amount of role play as you do not know your limits and must find them so it is best to act in character. Thomas I have rolled for you too.

Neverwonagame3 you could use one of these names: Jal Rekin, Salos Dalian or Marcus Daras

 

[Neverwonagame3]

O.K, _____ is charismatic and a skilled liar and tactician (Plot Device in case rolled stats don't match: Compared to his brothers, his main competitors). However, he is a poor warrior and worse at empathy. (Plot Device in case: Same as before)

 

[Vertinari118]

Sorry I don't seem to have been very clear I need a list of what you expect your character's stats to look like one your stats have been allocated. Please don't try and factor in racial modifiers I will do that!

PS
I have given you three names to chose from why does your character still lack a name? Do you want more names?

 

[Neverwonagame3]

1- You said Germanicus. I'll choose Jal Rekin.

2- O.K, here it is:
Strength: Low
Dexterity: Average
Constitution: Average (perhaps a bit better then average)
Intelligence: Good
Wisdom: Low/Horrendous
Charisma: Good

 

[Vertinari118]

Ok thanks. Sorry mistaken identity, what do you want your base profession to be Neverwonagame 3? From what you posted you would seem more like a thief based character! Warriors tend to have a higher strength value but still you could play as it is. Here are your stats.

Strength- Average
Wisdom- Poor
Dexterity- Average
Constitution- Above Average
Charisma- Beyond Excellent
Intelligence- Excellent

I hope you don't mind but I took the bonus humans get to wisdom and put it into strength otherwise you really wouldn't cope as a warrior character.

 

[thomas.berubeg]

Strength- Poor
Wisdom- Above average
Dexterity- Poor
Constitution- Average
Charisma- Excellent
Intelligence- Beyone Excellent

 

[Vertinari118]

Stats will have to wait till morning but with racial modifiers I should be able to get those stats for you. I may have to redirect some bonuses I hope you don't mind?
