So the Sea of Blood is actually Sea of 50% Blood?

No no, the Sea of Blood is actually 100% Blood, just blood has about 50.6% water in it's recipe so to speak :p

A: Thanks

B: Oooh, this could get... interesting....

inb4 Kasim gets mind controlled by whatever is controlling the dwarves

Oh, and Raen, if you don't happen to pay attention to your PM's very much, just want to give you a heads up that you've been added to the First Blow convo.

Man, it's been a week since I posted in Carnival :-/

When there's only two people, there's not much to read XD

[Raen Elvarasi]

Haha. I was not aware.

Kangaroo said Now we begin Operation Clusterfuck , or otherwise know as going toe-to-toe with a gargoyle.

Icarus said Aight. Here's how I'm laying it down. Just finished my final exam, and the celebration of my birthday so I am now more or less cleared for duty folks. Expect more consistent posts from me!

I was wondering what was taking you so long old friend! Good to hear.

The two most in character things for Thailen to do are very bad ideas :C

Think outside of the box? :-3

Wowee! Considering the wealth of background and depth of the story, I'm quite drawn to this. Although because there's so much existing material (and just look at that PC list!), finding a starting point is sure to be a chore. That said, I'm willing to give the RP a shot, once I've wrapped my head around things. Always is harder joining an RP once it's been around for a while.

Ah, it's fine. Work on a character, and I'll help you with the rest. Trust me. I'm just slow and somewhat lazy.

Actually I think we just all ended up in the same mission by chance, there aren't that many among the many characters that are such. of course while Maher is Templar trained and an inducted member of the order, he may not be the strictest adherent to dogma......Still a demon appearing before him is likely to trigger something.On another note i still find it amusing that so many still think the Sea of Blood has any water in it at all. The name is not just a name, its actually a very accurate description.

Well, I could even see it in universe too. People just not believing it's actually made out of blood until they saw it. I mean it is pretty hard to believe.

Kadaeux said
*Cough* Approximately 50.6% of a human's blood is water.*Cough*:p

For all tense and purposes the "water" is inseparable from the rest of the chemicals and other biological and magical shit in there. tl;dr: No, Maher can't use it.

@Everyone: More posts come Monday! Beware!

I'm working on the stats and traits system, and I'm wondering about the Spellsword trait. Should the user have points in the Mage skill to be able to enchant an item, or is the Magical Endurance the only magic-related skill required? Say, if I wanted to imbue a sword with elemental magic, would I have to actually know that school of magic (and thus, have at least one point in Mage)?

Stats and Traits said doesn’t require a mage’s training to harness

Stats and Traits said without the need for mage training

Okay, cool. Just wanted to discern flavor text from actual mechanics.
I'm assuming our stats will rise with time in the RP?

One more thing - my char's weapon of choice happens to be a sword with a gun built into it; should I count it as an exotic melee weapon? I'm assuming sniper points will be needed to use it:

[Raen Elvarasi]

Few things to realize about Gunblades: They are extremely unwieldy, as the extra weight at the hilt makes it clumsier, and harder to swing properly, as well as tremendously hard to shoot, let alone aim well. I personally would suggest starting with a different type of weapon, and waiting until you have a greater number of points in Sniper and Fighter before trying to use it, as at lower levels, you would probably take too much of a penalty from its amount of...Unwieldy nature. Though that is up to Brovo and his Co-GMs, I would think that the penalties would be rather annoying, to say the least.

That video didn't help my thought processes in anyway Brovo.

You really wouldn't be able to keep a charge and bullet in there, I don't think, swinging it around... and the barrel down the sword, I imagine would make it structurally weak... Furthermore, I'd think that it'd be terrible upkeep on the barrel to keep it clear... and harsh on it, if the blade suffers damage... Ah, and of course, you could likely be weakening the blade with the heat from any fired shots... *taps lip* Personally... I'd be a no go on it. Kad and Brovp both have says, though.

A rifle with a bayonet would be more practical than a gunblade in this universe, as gunpowder weapons are still a fair bit of a rarity. Gunblades aren't entirely eliminated, but it would be... Ill advised to start with one. They tend to be exotic to the extreme. Besides, you can remove bayonets to make them impromptu daggers. If something gap closes you and brushes aside your gun blade, you're a goner.

Aside from that, yes, a spellblade is someone who can imbue their weapons with magical effects, this is usually more effective on melee weapons, though there is a ranged variant that specifically affects ammunition, called A Thousand Trick Shots, which is something to keep in mind, though it does require mage training.

No copying, I had this guy as my back-up.

Nah, Brovo said I'll cut through armored target with it. So probably bigger version of the door knocker pistol.

Yes, the one from Pumpkin Scissors, not the artillery one.
