The Story!

(Two or three) young teens dream of other worlds from their small shore on Destiny Island. On a stormy night with dark clouds and howling winds, the teens are washed up on the shore of another world. They must find their paths from there. Through darkness, light, and the twilight in between, these teens will figure out what the Keyblades are and why they were chosen.

Along the way they'll meet people from worlds of imagination: tribal people of an ancient sunken city, an emperor who's become a llama, a brave princess who's fate is yet to be, a family of heroes out of place, a robot who's in love, an old man with a kid and dog, a spiky haired guy with a massive sword who travels with a ninja and vampire, and many more!

Current World:
Destiny Island.

Players! Please post your characters in the characters tab when they are ready! If you have questions then by all means postem! I'll try to answer quickly!

I think I'm going to restructure how the Keyblades are going to affect your classes. Instead of replacing the archetype it will be its own thing that grows as you complete story things. But you still get to say how it'll grow through two important choices!

What power will you embrace and what power will you give up?

Powers: The Warrior, The Guardian, The Mystic.

I'm adding this to the template!

[DustyOldCrow]

Sweetness! I'm excited for Wednesday, no brakes on the hype train!

[VKAllen]

I will be using a Class/Race homebrew I recently purchased from DMsGuild known as Paragon Races.

EDIT:

To add upon the Paragon Races; the following is (in summary) what transpires:

• Paragon races have an option to increase their Paragon 'Tier' level during the Ability Score Improvement (Levels 4, 8, 12, 16 and 19)
• Each Tier provides a set of benefits for the Paragon; Tier 1 provides Racial Magic and Superior Weapon Training, Tier 2 provides Martial Adept feat with an added list of maneuvers (at least one maneuver must be from this added list), Tier 3 provides specific combat advantage and superior vision, Tier 4 provides more feats and the Fifth Tier provides true sight and an enchantment ability
• Paragons have more options on how to spend their Inspiration

If you require more details, please let me know.

The fun begins tomorrow!

@VKAllen@DustyOldCrow@lady athena

Just some quick info about how I typically run forum rps!

1. Instead of needing to roll an ability check when there's no pressure for time (such as needing to break down a door but nothing is forcing you to do it quickly) you have the option to forgo the roll and to use your relevant stat instead. (so having a 17 in STR lets you use 17 for the check!)

2. Even if you fail a roll to get past an obstacle I will have you "succeed with a twist" or "fail but the story continues." There will never be a situation where you're stuck doing the same roll over and over.

3. This is a cooperative game! Helping each other happens so easily! When you help someone you give them an advantage on their next roll! Or you may encounter Trinity Marks which require all three of you to be present!

4. Combat isn't always the answer! You still gain XP for doing wonderfully in social interactions! But beware! Some NPCs can't be persuaded, intimidated, or deceived with just rolls of the die.

I hope that you'll have as much fun as I will!

Alright

[Lady Athena]

Now I must leave for 4-5 hours as I am going to work

[VKAllen]

What gut wrenching piece of work! Tis a refreshing read and one to begin in combat so very quickly. Here is my initiative roll; 10.

[Lady Athena]

Inititive roll: 19

[DustyOldCrow]

roleplayerguild.com/rolls/1201 Init: 8

First die roll = 5. Hope this isn't a sign of things to come.

@Mimikyu
So we need to say what we are doing in IC and roll here? Anything I am missing out? Do you want me to write out my reaction to the rod and events before the darkside appeared?
OR
Just the action I am making in the fight?

(Is new to D&D on RPGuild)

@Lady Athena

That's a good question to fill the other in at the same time!

You post the description of your action in character in the IC thread, roll here in the OOC thread. You may write your reaction to the events unfolding prior to the darkside but remember, this place feels like a dream and its qualities separate it from the heavy realism of real life! Your best bet is to focus on the fight at hand and approach it in the way that you character would as if in a lucid dream.

Using Light, Rolled a 7 followed by a 20

Something like this for the dice roll post?

@Lady Athena

[VKAllen]

First Roll to hit: 16
Second Roll to hit: Cumulative 20

Damage Roll if hit: 14.

Please note: More details will come in character, this post is basically the logistics of it.

@Mimikyu

@Lady Athena

Light is a cantrip which requires 1 action to cast and you must be touching the object. As a turn consist of 1 action, 1 bonus action (bonus action is not the same as action) and other smaller action economy-- you can only enhant one weapon.

[Lady Athena]

@VKAllen
Yes, you are right xD

[Mimikyu]

The light cantrip does indeed require the object to be touched. It's an odd choice for your first action, but I'm not stopping you. @lady athena

@VKAllen@dustyoldcrow

Neither of you need to post in order nor do you need to wait for me to post. Your actions will happen in order though and you're free to plan ahead to give each other help.

The Darkside is concentrating on his attack.
