Welcome welcome blah blah blah. This is an action chatroom, I'm kinda not in the mood to write a bigass intro, so it's a roleplaying game played here.
Basically, for the backdrop, read the freaking intro. You're here to shoot Nazis and wreck the Reich, usual WW2 shooter stuff, nothing genre-breaking.
Okay, down to important stuff: to make your character, fill out the following list:
Basically, I think everything except class, skills and items is obvious so I'm not talking about them.
Class: Combat Specialist, Support Specialist or Officer.
-Combat Specialist: gains 2 extra skill points in Combat Skills
-Support Specialist: gains 2 extra skill points in Support Skills
-Officer: gains yadda yadda just in Command Skills, kay?
Skills:
Each skill costs 1 Skill Point. You have 1 Skill Point in each category by default, though you gain 2 extra skill points in your class skillset. Upgrading a skill to "Mastery" costs 1 additional Skill Point and can only be done in your class area.
Combat Skills: Skills that assist you when the Nazis open fire and you have to be an action movie star.
COMBAT SKILLS:
Unarmed Combat: - Proficiency in hand-to-hand combat without weapons.
Melee Weapons: - Proficiency with knives, swords, bayonets and other melee weapons.
Heavy Weapons: - Proficiency with heavy weapons like bazookas and HMGs.
Sniping: - Proficiency with sniper rifles and long-range shooting.
Firearms: - Proficiency with basic weapons, such as pistols, rifles and SMGs.
SUPPORT SKILLS:
Medical: - Ability to heal yourself or others.
Stealth: - Ability to hide items and people, including yourself.
Perception: - Ability to spot hidden traps and enemies.
Cryptography: - Ability to decipher Axis codes and encrypt messages to Command.
Mechanical: - Ability to repair broken and sabotaged equipment and vehicles.
COMMAND SKILLS:
Leadership: - Ability to provide assisting bonuses to allies.
Fire Support: - Ability to call in support powers to attack and debuff enemies.
Sabotage: - Ability to break stuff. Increases odds of successfully sabotaging equipment.
Familiarity: - Familiarity with Axis languages and countries. Bonuses to interpreting and sense of direction.
Personal: - Supplied by player. Mastery forbidden.
Pick yo shticks, then I'll assign you new equipment. Speaking of which.
Equipment:
You start with some worthless junk that really isn't all that useful. In addition, your skills grant you a few more items that you can use much more often. Ain't it great?
Default Items:
Knife(For stabbing)
Uniform(For modesty)
SOC Patch w/ National Insignia(For stereotyping)
Parachute(For falling)
Air Tank(For diving)
Sidearm(For shooting)
Right that's basically it I think. First mission maybe Saturday night, though Thursday is actually possible if you people sign up fast enough.
And now I'm gonna go wander off and resume my donut-and-chocolate-loving depressive spell. Catch you guys later.
