Okay, three players + me as the GM/Another Player

I will NOT assign your social class or race, you can combo any of them together.
You want to have a Noble Kobold? Go for it.

You can have as many characters as you wish, but I recommend no more than two.
However, you don't always need to have them around, you can have characters pop in, and then leave, just make sure you let people know that's what you're doing. Not all adventures end the way they began afterall :)

Something I forgot to include in the thread, you can have pets. However, if you want something dangerous (eg, something similar to a Jurassic Park Velocir Raptor, you'll need to be a powerful mage/wizard)

Example social types

(All except Enslaved can be an Adventurer/Traveller - the social type is just their wealth status)

Nobility
Upper Class
Middle Class
Lower Class
Enslaved (can be owned by Nobility, Upper Class and in rare cases, Middle Class)

Playable Races:

Humans
Elves (Dark, Forest, Golden, etc)
Drast (Lizardmen types, multiple species/sub-species)
Kobolds (more Lizards)
Beastmen (Humanoid/Werewolf looking beings, wear clothes/armor)
Other Races (Ask me)

For race appearance during character creation, you can use any pictures off the internet that match. Eg, for Drast, you can use Argonians, Dragonborn, Iksar, whatever.

NPC Races:

Wild Animals (Intelligence Varies)
Dragons (Very intelligent)
Goblins (Below average intelligence)
Ethereals (Very Intelligent, basically made of pure Maa’jhick, any race can become one)
Demons (Similar to Ethereals, just evil af)
Undead (Intelligence varies)
Elementals (Unintelligent)
Golems (Unintelligent)
Plants (Unintelligent)

Any particular limits on magic and stuff? Currently thinking about some kind of Kobold or lizard necromancer.

[Metadude]

@Pyromaniacwolf

Hard to put a limit on a power level, but depending on your magic proficiency

For something like a Necromancer, here's examples of power level

Novice: Resurrect a basic Skeleton, pretty weak, killed in a single hit
Adept: Resurrect multiple undead (Skeletons, fresh corpses, rotting corpses, etc) harder to take down (including animals like Bears)
Master: Resurrect pretty much anything, with a maximum of 15 humanoid corpses at once
There's a tier above master, reserved specifically for NPC's though

[UltraCraftGames]

Can you give me examples of power level for like a pretty generic spellcaster. And psychic abilities what about those.

[Metadude]

@UltraCraftGames

Generic spell caster would be somewhere between novice and adept

So - Fireballs/Iceballs/etc, a simple spell to heal minor wounds (shallow cuts, bruises, muscle pain, etc), a spell to hold more possessions than they'd normally be able to carry (think a bag that makes everything mini until you take it out of said bag)

If you want a spell that you think might be too OP, just ask - I may say yes/offer suggestions to make it less OP

[Pyromaniacwolf]

@Metadude aye I think I'll make a scheming lizard man necromancer, start him off at novice level though and advance him as time goes on. I'll assume I'll be allowed to give him the standard disease or shadow magic so he isnt totally helpless when there are no bodies around?

[Metadude]

@Pyromaniacwolf

Since he's a novice, I'd stick to just simple poison type magic - however he can learn to provide illness/disease as he powers up :)

[Pyromaniacwolf]

@Metadude that's fair enough, any information I should know about my race or how necromancy is viewed outside of 'it bad' or are you going to leave the world building to the players through their backstories and such?

[Metadude]

@Pyromaniacwolf

If you're a Kobold, your character would have a partial Shaman background

But, if you're a Drast, you can have any background you like, they have many sub-species/cultures - so go nuts

[Pyromaniacwolf]

@Metadude hmmm I may have an upper class family with high expectations from their children so my character started dabbling in the darker arts to try and contend with his siblings. Gives my character alot of options for future development. Hmm having him be nobility could set the stakes higher.

[Metadude]

@Pyromaniacwolf

Whichever works for you, if you go for Nobility, my OC Lizard can travel with them as a sidekick ha ha

[Pyromaniacwolf]

Sounds cool although my guy will probably be up for some dodgy stuff so I hope he isnt too against that stuff.

Edit: Nevermind just read his CS, sounds good

[Metadude]

Lizard has no choice in the matter ha ha

If your character wants Lizard to tongue kiss a corpse, he'll do it XD

[UltraCraftGames]

Yeah what could a generic spellcaster master doe. And what about psychic abilities.

[Metadude]

@UltraCraftGames

Copy + Paste

Generic spell caster would be somewhere between novice and adept

If you want a spell that you think might be too OP, just ask - I may say yes/offer suggestions to make it less OP

Addition: You can have psychic abilities, most basic being sensitivity to peoples emotions, more advanced being surface level mind reading, higher is full mind reading, then onto other things like mind control/etc

How's this?

Jul'dama Snakeblood

Name: Jul'dama Snakeblood
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Social Status: Nobility
Maa'jhick: Novice necromancer- able to reanimate a weak skeleton/corpse and able to use basic poison magic.
Has some skill with elemental magics although he is rusty as most of his time is spent studying necromancy.
Profession: Scholar
Race: Drast
Height: 6'1
Weapons/Gear: Wears simple black scholar robes that are adorned with various expensive silver markings, also has several rings on his hands. Has a average dagger on his person at all times although it's mostly for show, or for preparing corpses.
Pets: N/A arguably his occasional summoned servant.
Appearance:

Image

Physically Jul is relatively skinny and has an eerie presence to him.

Additional Info: Jul'dama was born into a noble family of Drast. The family expected much of him even as a child to increase the families wealth and influence. While his brothers studied commerce and combat Jul was always more of a bookworm and spent much of his time studying,his various tutors praised the youths academic successes but was often overshadowed by the wealth being brought in by one of his brothers or the constant success and promotions of his other brother in the military. After an argument with his father over the issue he left home promising when he returned he would have proven himself to his family.
It has been almost a year since then and while Jul'dama has earned a reasonable wealth for himself using his family name and arcane ability, he has done nothing of true not. In desperation, and out of a curiosity that has nagged at him for years, he has began studying necromancy despite the taboos surrounding the subject.If he cannot earn influence through moral means, he will make his family proud without morality. Power is power after all.

[Metadude]

@Pyromaniacwolf Sounds good to me, toss it into characters :)

Also, at least some use comes from the Jul M'dama name since Halo 5 wasted it XD

[Pyromaniacwolf]

@Metadude oh god I just realized that, I'm gonna be imagining my character as an elite now.

[Metadude]

@Pyromaniacwolf Ha ha, well if you want to change them - go ahead, they're pretty lizardlike

[Lord Orgasmo]

I'll get a cs up in a bit hopefully. Gonna try out an elven fighter.

But at the same time I do love to play as an occultist.
