The Therianthropy Project InC

::Therianthropy Project: Phase One::
A D20 Modern Game

Starting post-secondary education is often a challenge. The cost, adjusting to the difference in expectations, housing, the cost. For many students, that was the major hurdle to be overcome, and even with the assistance of parents they are often still a bit on the needy side. It was why researchers who needed subjects for human clinical trails often found the help they needed among students, who were often quite willing to help.

As it was in this situation. Geis Pharmaceuticals. One of the rising stars in the industry recently got the approval to begin the human trials of an experimental drug to improve the overall vitality of the recipient. To be as attractive as possible, not only did they offer a stipend, but also housing and food for the duration of the trial, as well as credits to there degree. Quite the attractive deal for only having to endure a few injections a day and a series of physical tests.

Of course, it is never that easy. Geis was a true company. And they really did study manners in which to improved the body. And they found a way. The human genome is a massive thing, and there is a mind boggling amount of information stored in that molecule. Redundancies, intricacies and sequences that have so much in common with other genetic relatives. Almost complete strains from other mammals. It didn't take long for someone to pose the question; could those animal traits be expressed in humans?

Welcome to the Therianthropy Project.

::Rules::
we use the D20 rules for this game, and starting at lvl 2.
Your occupation is student.
The die rolls for ability scores will be using the standard method; 4d6, take highest 3.
Your Strain is limited to mammals only.
Aside from picking your strain, you don't need to worry about anything else about that strain for now. If you like, you can go look for a picture of an anthro of your strain.
We will be using Mythweavers for sheets, and Invisible Castle for die rolls.

*Gets a nostalgic feel about Theriantropy project, then mentions it in some RP then suddenly spots the resurrection of it in IC*

Allright, here I am (also, I feel ashame of my posting quality back then >_<)! I am kinda new to this Mythweavers (in fact, I have no idea of it), so what should I do to join (if I can)?

[Greycat]

Ah, that's what I forgot! The ever helpful link to the online materials!

Hey Night. Building a D20 chary is a process that people either take to naturally or find challenging. I'll put links to an online sourcebook and a character generator. You can always ask us for help too. If you're serious about joining, I can link you to the chatroom me and my RPGuild group uses. We tend to be helpful. Sometimes ^^

[DrNightKOT]

Sure, link me.

After spending 1.50 hours on trying to figure out how this works I've finally made a sheet, moved all data and then f5 was pressed and I've erased everything. Yay.

How much skillpoints are characters allowed to have, by the way?

[Greycat]

The secrets to the marvels of skill points are dependent on your class, your level and your Intelligence (Int) modifier. You gatskill points each time you gain a level, and at the first level, you get 4x the amount you get at the other levels.

Strong or Tough Hero: (4x[3 + Int modifier]) + [3 + Int modifier]
Fast or Dedicated Hero: (4x[5 + Int modifier]) + [5 + Int modifier]
Charismatic Hero: (4x[7 + Int modifier]) + [7 + Int modifier]
Smart Hero: (4x[9 + Int modifier]) + [9 + Int modifier]


The modifier will range anywhere from -2 to +3
Score ::: Modifier
6 - 7 ::: -2
8 - 9 ::: -1
10-11 ::: 0
12-13 ::: +1
14-15 ::: +2
16-17 ::: +3

[DrNightKOT]

And is this possible to have Charismatic and Smart hero at the same time (cause I've picked both at the character generator)?

[Greycat]

Sure, one level of each. You would be a first level Charismatic, and a first level Smart, Second level overall. You just need to decide which one you start in, to determine which one gets the 4x skill points

[DrNightKOT]

Nice. I'll get the rest of the questions (when they come) to the chatroom and my character app is nearly ready (skill point madness finally resolved)

[Zombehs]

Huh, I don't suppose I'd still be able to throw up an application/character sheet?
