@Jangel13

YES! Finally I'm excited to fight the skeletons now.

Oh yes you three will have a great adventure now that I gave my laptop back, prepare for detail :D

@Jangel13 For fun, i have been trying to think of a different but legitimate way to have an "assimilation"-like effect like the main character from Re: Monster did for his Skill. Any suggestions? Or is that a bad idea?

@Crusader Lord

Your going to have to be way more specific

@Jangel13 Hmm, duly noted. So the main character of Re: Monster has an ability where they can gain the advantageous abilities of other things by eating them, and by virtue of that is able to eat virtually anything (even stuff like metals) safely.

So i was thinking that, since that character's ability allows them to assimilate the abilities of other thing they eat, that i could make something to a similar effect for an OC.

Something like "was the recipient of a great deal of organ transplants in life" would translate to this ability: "Through physical contact with the body or parts of other creatures, whether those creatures be alive or dead, they can absorb/assimilate the DNA of said other creatures. What this does is grants them a very randomly chosen trait or boon as a result."

For example, assimilating the DNA of a horned rabbit might give them horns along with a stronger skull for headbutting at the very best, or might enhance their leg muscles a bit instead, or instead confer some other sort of advantage or the horned rabbits have that the user does not already have.

However, the gist is that this "boon" or "advantage" granted is not chosen by the user, but instead by you the GM for added randomness and variety.

(Dear heavens i hope this isn't a shoddy idea...)

(Though perhaps i am being too ambitious as well...)

@Crusader Lord

Uh huh, I don't think you realize that everyone starts out with his ability. It's why everyone earns different skills and techniques when they kill and eat something. If your asking for an amped version of that where you gain the body parts of the creatures you kill then no. For one thing you need to kill a lot of animals just to evolve to a hobgoblin which nobody has done yet. Second if I allowed that ability by the time you do evolve you be some kind of Frankenstein monster. I admire your crativeness but an ability like that would be to op from the get go.

I'm trying to turn you into all gods not nature's mistake

@Jangel13 Ah, duly noted. Sorry for suggesting that....but i can at least think of different ideas now. ^^;

You don't need to be sorry for having a question, don't worry about it

@Jangel13 Then i guess on to the next question. (Thanks) :)

What if someone in their past life was really close to nature, so as a Goblin this translates into a "Connection to Nature" in the same manner you presented a former priest having a "Connection to Divine" in your examples? (how does that example one work btw)

Alright then, say you have someone that has thrown the shackles of modern society. No phone or anything so advanced and in exchanged lived out his life in nature chopping wood and living through the seasons until they become a real outdoorsman. That would translate as a connection to nature.

With a priest (and I'm talking devout priest) goes through his life believing in the commandments and hoping to join god in his kingdom then he has lived his entire life in faith. That would then translate here to a connection with the divine.

Make sense?

@Jangel13 Yeah that makes sense! :)

And, just to make sure i am not confusing things, what would these connections amount to in-RP? (might be a dumb question...)

@Crusader Lord

Their are no dumb questions here. You want to learn every detail to prepare your goblin for life I expect you to ask questions :)

As for what these "connections" amount to its different for each kind. However using the example I gave you: connection to nature would mean you have an easier time out in the forest and can better handle yourself in nature. It could also mean that you can connect with the forest spirits and elves and the like. Connection to divine would mean that you gain more blessings and gain reputation with the numerous deities faster then someone else.

@Jangel13 Cool, cool. And interesting as well. :D

So, with that in mind, would something like being a hardcore satanist who attempted to summon demons in former life give a connection to the demonic as a Skill?

Or would a nerd who was obsessed with dragons all their lie have something like a draconic trait as their "skill" or something like a very minor form of breathing fire?

First one yes second one no. You wouldn't go that far instead you would have inherited draconic information and have a better understanding of say fire spells from a fire breathing dragon. As a result you become intune with fire magic and can learn it easier. You don't start with magic out of the gate I am very adamant about that point

@Jangel13 Ok, i think i have a better idea of things now. Thanks again! :D

Anytime

@Jangel13 just a heads up incase your wondering. I am keeping the more descriptive Character stats for Gird in his profile recently including what he has killed or done to gain experience so neither of us have to go looking through posts, and his current evolution. I hope this is acceptable. I'm also working on a short post now, it will be up sometime tonight.

@ReusableSword

Thank you that actually helps a lot

Hello all! I am actually here, in the flesh! Sorry for the delay between posting my sheet and actually talking. I had to run some errands after finally waking up. Give me a moment and I will transfer my lil Goblin over to the CS tap.

Glad to have you
