[OOC] From Oubliette to Oublioth [R.I.P]

[Xaltwind]

Since it's now Monday, I'm sad to inform you all that Afro Samurai has been removed from the active player-roster. I've contacted the next person on the waitlist to see if they want to take their place.

[Crusader Lord]

@Xaltwind I am here! :D

Will get something apped as soon as i (reasonably) can! :3

[Xaltwind]

Sounds good, bruski. ^^
Welcome.

[Crusader Lord]

@Xaltwind Hmm...could I perhaps make a High Elf, and outline some history on an ancient High Elf Nation that might exist to the far south? Bits like that potentially! Just want to ask in case it isn't ok, though. :D

[Xaltwind]

Thish ish fien

[Crusader Lord]

Alright! Now to think of a role my character could take in the, ah, cast. Like Tank or a DPS or Healer kinda deal, in the basic sense. XD

or just see what is most fun. Either way. :P

[ERode]

We don't have a pure healer right now. Plenty of people who could have healing spells though.

[Click This]

Hey, Misia is 70% of a proper healer.

[The Irish Tree]

Being healed by Vani involves having to be touched by him.

So uh, yeah, not really much healing gonna happen there.

[Xaltwind]

@Crusader Lord

Currently we have:

- A rogue-type assassin boi
- A big meaty fighter-lizard
- A pretty-boy paladin
- A spunky spellblade focused on wind and electric magix
- A snooty merchant-noble who likes necromancy
- A pompous mountain mage who summons fairies to do all the work for him
- A blood-mage spellblade summoner... thing... In skimpy clothes!

So, yeah, there's a lot of roles that could be picked if you want. Healer, archer, conventional thief, agile fighter, barbarian-type, specialist wizard, cleric... And more, I suppose. The possibilities are endless.

@The Irish Tree

I see this as an additional feature.

[Xaltwind]

You would, you skanky wolf-girl.

What about a Gunslinger? Just to ask about potential options I mean. Not that those things would be common, but heck I heard some system out there uses em' so thought I'd ask at least. XD

[ERode]

High elf gunslinger? Such sacrilege.

[Crusader Lord]

honestly am sticking class and race choices on two 'random chooser' wheels and spinning them. :P

Plus just imagine a pair of magic guns being shot by a cute elf with nice thighs, tbh. ;)

[Xaltwind]

While I like unconverntional characters as much as the next person.

"Guns", in the sense of firearms, don't really exist in Oublioth. In a world where you can blow up rocks by paying a wizard a few coins, there's no real need to develop gunpowder, which in turn means that nobody's figured out that rifles and pistols are vastly superior to bows and crossbows.

Now, if you want magic-projectile shooting apparati, things like wands, staves, arcane foci and other such equipment exist - just not in the shape of 'guns'. Of course,I suppose you could just bend a wand into the right shape or something... Not that I'd know how or why your character would do that, not having ever seen a real gun before, buy hey - details.

[Asuras]

Go with a crossbow that has an enchanted string which maintains the exact same tensile strength, but it is weak in the hands of a wielder, that way pulling the string into a ready position is effortless but it still fires just as powerful as an unenchanted crossbow.

[Somewhat] rapid fire!

[ERode]

In a world where people have superhuman stats, are guns even superior to bows? Consider that with high STR, you could pull hella big bows, and with high DEX, you could fire off hella fast. Meanwhile, guns, simply based off how they function, can't scale off their users' stats, beyond just furthering accuracy. Which is good in early game, bad in mid-late game.

Of course, if you're gonna go magic guns, then ok. But then I raise you with a magic bow.

[Xaltwind]

This is assuming all users of weapon have good stats though. As I've said before, the average human has all 'F' ranks in terms of stats, so for the unwashed masses, guns would be superior. Of course, guns are again negated by the fact that any wizard who can cast Protection from Projectiles pretty much invalidates their entire existence anyway...
