OwO what's this?

It's not really that finicky.

If it's the matter of exact spacing, you can just enshroud the text you change with {color=ffffff}{/color} to ensure that you only change the correct text since the spaces are consistent in their logic (one at the end of leftmost section, two surrounding middle section, and one at the beginning of the final section).

xampl:
[center][h3][b]Name Nameman[/b][/h3]
[sup]Interacting with:
[h3][color=a9a9a9][color=ffffff]Place[/color] || [color=ffffff]Action[/color] || [color=ffffff]Vibe[/color][/color][/h3][/sup][/center]




Screenspace for aesthetic is a sacrifice of having it on one line; it shouldn't really be an issue unless you keep the qualifiers and decide to have a very long description of all of them.

If it's the matter of being unbalanced if you have a large section, then yea. You could also begin to use tables to solve that, but that begins the devil's work of being weird as hell. That's just a limitation to try to keep them sufficiently equal.

Though it doesn't really matter. Mae did say that as long as it had the same information, it didn't really matter how the header looked.

Okay? I wasn't really expecting pushback in a reasonably simple suggestion.

Oh I should have said something earlier all I did in mine was use the sup to downsize the header.

@Enkryption

my b, i incorrectly assumed the issue was something else as there wasn't a mention of it not working on mobile (I don't use mobile at all for RPG, so I really only check if bbcode dies when I make a thread).

In which case yes, double subs, dropping the subs and h3 all together (losing serif, but it's about the same size), stacking things vertically, and keeping the sections short either mitigate or fix the issue of words folding into themselves on mobile.

@scrawls sounds like a plan :D

@Enkryption colour me intrigued! Looking forward to what you come up with.

<Snipped quote by Timemaster>

Nope, totally open posting at your leisure!

@Wayward sorry for the wait on the skills, I hope to have a complete list latest tomorrow. Yung has both intelligence and wisdom, do you want him to have any magic as well? I imagine his meditation might play into that. If you like dnd monk skills would you like missile deflection as well? And since he has max Dexterity and stealth capabilities, he might be able to do some movement things like running along walls /rooftops/rough terrain easy.

@OwO@Dark Cloud I cannot wait to see Wormwood's reaction to Terminator Ingrid emerging from the river xD


In keeping to the base of a DnD build, he'd have access to abilities that utilize Ki. This mostly gets implemented in techniques that buff or modify actions. Ki-enhanced strikes, the Flurry of Blows mentioned. The movement skills you mentioned and deflection also work.

Things that I eventually want to work him up to would be things like firing off a proverbial Hadouken, and extended buffing periods. But that would come later.

Just as an FYI, Rinan is his first name, Yung his family name; did that in a more Eastern style (because he's a monk).

Honestly kinda glad to see a BBCode discussion because that stuff has always been pretty esoteric to me in terms of best practices. Also, feel free to replace the header with a prettier different one if you like, so long as the key info is on it.

@scrawls@Theyra I want to give Zrer and Bolo a chance to meet before the little girl [s]attacks[/] borrows a book.

Also kinda curious how the @The Irish Tree@OwO@Dark Cloud Ingrid / Cornelius / Wormwood situation at bridge will pan out.

@Waywardhere's a first pass at his skills, anything you want added/removed? Also what kind of hobbies does Rinan have?

Insightful is a mix of mana/ki detection and detecting ignoble magic - wind. He'll be able to detect subtle changes in air currents to detect secret entrances, the mana/ki detection allows him to know of creatures nearby, and he can hear things from further away as the noises are carried to him on the wind.

Graceful Fighting gives him a bonus to fighting when he has freedom of movement.

Probability Trance can only be done once a day and takes time. He will get a strong inclination towards an outcome of a specific actin taken or event that is upcoming.

Missile Rejection is a bit silly so feel free to remove it if you don't like it. Rinan has missile deflection which is pretty fullproof, but in the event he does get hit with a missile or allows himself to be hit, it does less damage. He can flex his body to 'reject' the embedded missiles and send them flying out his body at all angles.

Disengage is kind of like a reduced Misty Step in DND parlance. Rinan takes a few steps back so quickly it looks like he teleports, probably only Goh would see him move. I originally was going to mark it as a combat skill but the idea of Rinan noping out of a conversation this way was pretty fun.

BBCode is a demon in design, but you can do some very cool shit with it. Unfortunately, I do a lot of my reading on mobile, because I work 9~10 hours a day, and this site wasn't designed for mobile users, imo.

That aside, I've passed the hell day known as Cinco de Moe's, and I can finally start on my post in earnest after work and, hopefully, have it out by the end of Sunday coming.

@Enkryption I've also been at the mercy of the mobile site, which always makes me worry about how the indents ect. look on pc. I've always loved RPGuild though because alot of other RP sites have multiple colour schemes users can pick from, and I think having to work out code and colours on multiple devices/colour schemes would drive me quite mad.

That's so cool. I hope you've managed to rest up a bit since then. It's the kings coronation over here across the pond, but everyone gets a free day off work so that's pretty great.

@Waywardawesome, add 'em up to your character sheet and jump in wherever! Things are still very much just getting started.

If you think of any hobbies you'd like him to have we can add them in as we go.

@Dark Cloud I've gotten into the habit of reading more RPs lately, since I am bound by the earthly laws of not being able to join every cool concept on the forum I want to :(

That being said I saw the WOTC conversation too which is a topic that's been on my mind alot lately. I gave them a tiny benefit of the doubt after the OGL debacle but with the Pinkerton situation I am boycotting them for life now >:(

Finally, posted.

You will see that Rallis is blank, and that is because his stats are not correct on his sheet; he has 2 of each star. If it's ever fixed, I will fix his file. Until then, I'm so glad this is done and dusted. Time for some video games...

Well Mae the guy should have been smart enough to not share that he had product he shouldn't have had though it does not excuse how low it is to send a private security company to repossess something, they have quickly changed their tune as well. Sending him free product, obviously in fear of a (justifiable) lawsuit

Figured, I'd open with a bang, and try something I've never done. A murder board can tell quite a story by itself. XD

That said, lots to improve and fix, so I'll definitely be doing an overhaul (if only for myself) over the week.
