[OOC] Tales of Adventure and Discovery RPG, an Epic Adventure RP

[Pyromania99]

So. . . Insightful Strikes like one? :P

[ERode]

Henchmen Trait...man, that really sounds like something Leifr would have. Being a Noble Knight and all.

[Renose]

Henchman can be purchased in game.

Also yea an insightful strike thing could work.

I'll grab it or the Ally trait next timeskip~
Or something ridiculous.

"Sir Squire."
"Yes, Sir Leifr?"
"Guard our troubled Lady Kortine, if you would."
"At once, sire."
"Ah, and if I may ask, milord."
"Anything for you, sire."
"You are my squire, am I correct, sir?"
"Undoubtedly, sire."
"Perhaps I should fix my speaking habits as Sir Selvus suggested..."
"You are perfect, sire, but I must agree with him."

[Renose]

Henchman Characters work a bit differently. They start off with a slight bit less amount of Stat Points and XP than your character does. Also they only gain XP at half the rate you do (so basically for every 2 XP your character gains they only gain 1 XP). But they can still be incredibly useful, especially if you build them to make up for your character's own shortcomings (like for Leifr for instance giving him some ranged capabilities or perhaps some negotiation or other such things).

[Pyromania99]

Get a henchman for Lyrisa. . . Hmm, what shortcomings to cover up for her. . . Pretty much anything outside of smarts.

[Keia Vewyx]

Interesting. So it sounds like Henchmen are more akin to tools than allies. They are most powerful when first obtained because they have only slightly less XP and Stats than the main characters, and though they can grow with you it is at half the rate so eventually you will dramatically overpower them, so maybe getting a new henchman every once in a while isn't a bad thing?
Also, besides henchmen, there should also be mercenaries and such who work for coin, right?

Oh, by the way, for that "Animal Companion" trait, what would be an example of an Uncommon and Exotic animal?For common I was assuming it was your standard wolves, bears, hawks, maybe a cat or something, but since we haven't really encountered any other animals yet (besides epic horses with haughty personalities) I can't really form an idea of what to expect.

[ERode]

Or, Leifr can be Allereun's Henchman. Brawn and Brains, with none of the EXP disparity~

Haha.

No.

No.

[ERode]

Should I just go and assume that UnendingEmpire is Adela?

And I'll wait until Keia has Leifr warm Fiore up with his bodyheat before posting.

[Keia Vewyx]

ERode said Should I just go and assume that UnendingEmpire is Adela?

That is correct.

ERode said And I'll wait until Keia has Leifr warm Fiore up with his bodyheat before posting.

I was actually waiting for Pyromania99 to post before me, seeing as combat has ended when the crossbowman surrendered on Lyrisa's round.

[Renose]

Cool beans.

[Pyromania99]

There~. No teammate is going to die on the watch of Lyrisa (Not)M.D.

[ERode]

And then she has another fumble, and somehow whips Fiore again.

[Pyromania99]

No, the dagger she just pocketed falls out of her outfit and kills him.

[ERode]

Guess I'll find theme songs while I wait for Keia to post.

Get some songs for everyone else, too~

[Pyromania99]

Just raging at Dawngate again. Don't mind me.

I second this.

Also, on another note

Hehe, I should probably tell you guys my sleeping schedule just for convenience since I get off a bit earlier than all of you do.

So, I live in California, the PST time zone

I go to sleep (willingly) at either 9 PM - 11 PM and wake up at around 6 AM - 8 AM
