The Infinity Dungeon (D&D esque)

[Specter189]

First attempt on a cool idea

Basically, what I'm planning on doing is a never ending dungeon that gets progressively more challenging and deadly as the characters go through each room, after everyone in the party enters a room, the doors close, and a wave of monsters will attack, also there can be traps strewn about the rooms. Each character would be around a level one or two, and I would not be controlling a character, simply arranging the traps and sending out monsters in each room.

Boss fights: After every ten rooms, there is a powerful boss enemy, they get stronger and stronger as the party progresses.

Special Equipment: There will be treasure chests in certain rooms, and perhaps even secret areas containing magical items, armor, weapons etc. Be careful however, as some chests can and will be cursed

Death: This will be based around a persistent world, if your character dies in here, his/her body and everything he/she was carrying will remain there, anyone can loot corpses for their equipment

High scoring system: There will be a high scoring system on the first post of the OOC, high scores are based off of how long a character survives, the chart will include the person's username, character name, and how many rooms they survived
Example:

HIGH SCORES:
1. Specter189, Derpy Derpford, 20
2.
3.
4.
5.

People aren't encouraged to create massive charactersheets explaining the backstory of their character, because they will die, that is the full intent and purpose of this roleplay, everyone will die, we're just seeing how long they can last.

For characters getting hit by NPCs, I will be using dice for the combat, attack power will be measured by one dice, then I will roll again to see how much damage the character's armor blocks, then if the character is using a shield, I will roll again to see if the character successfully blocks the attack, this happens if the block roll matches the attack roll it works like this:
6, 3, 6

The NPC's base attack power is 6 damage, however the armor took three points of damage, BUT the block roll matched the attack role, so therefore, the character blocked the attack

Damage:
1: A shallow cut or bruise
2: A deeper cut that might need medical treatment or a bigger bruise
3: A very deep painful slice, or a bone getting bruised
4: A cut that puts the victim in danger of bleeding to death, or a concussion
5: A large laceration on the chest or broken ribs
6: Dismemberment or breaking of a limb

For projectile attacks, such as skeleton archers or arrow traps, the first roll determines where the character is hit:
1. Forearm
2. Leg
3.Hip
4.Shoulder
5.Chest
6.Head
Additionally for projectiles, if more than one projectile is launched, I will roll for each arrow fired

Armor: Armor starts with base protection stats, your starting armor will suck, a limit of 10 protection for each piece and it degrades in protection for the amount of damage it absorbs

This is still a concept that I'm trying to make work, any and all suggestions of improvement
Would be most appreciated

SYSTEMS AND DICE ROLLS TO ADD:

Persistent wounds (Broken or severed limbs, deep cuts, zombie/infectuious bites)

Poisin, Bleeding

Any other suggestions that sound awesome


CLASSES AND CS TEMPLATE

CLASSES:

Knight: Has the highest starting armor, 10, Uses either Sword and Shield, Or a Great Sword (+2 on every attack roll). ((Really only applies to bosses and mini bosses))

Ranger: Has medium armor, 6, Uses a Bow/Crossbow, and either a Sword, (base damage) or a dagger (-2 on every attack roll but has 50% chance of attacking multiple times)

Wizard: (locked, trying to make a good spell system)

Rouge: very little armor, 4 but highly dextrous, so a dodge counter is added (takes the place of a block roll)

Beserker: has NO armor, but carries two weapons, (twin swords, or twin axes) always attacks twice

CS:
Name:
Age:
Race: (will be added later whence I get time to modify stats 'n shit, this be first edition rhye?)
Bio: (more for the family of the character than the character him/her-self
Class:
Weapon: (see above)

1st edition

None so far ATM

Hmm...I'd expect this to flow rather slowly, so I feel that one boss per 20 rooms is a bit sparse. Perhaps every 10, or even 5?

Sounds good in the nutshell, one small thing would be to do the shield first if applicable and spare yourself the next part of damage since the shield can negate it entirely.

Hmmm, maybe a mini boss every five and a real boss every ten or fifteen

Good point

This seems very interesting, never really had an rp where the purpose was to die.

I'll join cause I will most likely die. And also.. Sounds like Infinity Blade alot.

Glad to have you onboard!

There is no survive, only death xD

And you can have subsequent characters be the sons of the ones that went before xD

The Fighting Fantasy books had a very very simple system you could steal if anyone could get you a copy. I'll see if I can google it up. No promises.

Right, we got enough people where I think we can start a "first edition" hmm? Just not right now at the moment of this posting, because I am currently away from my dice in real life, and cannot retrieve them easily, unless y'all want me to run about fifty miles in the pouring rain

[Ollumhammersong]

Ill play if there is room. What are the standards for starting equipment? like a gold cap that we cant go over ro something along those lines?
