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

[Keia Vewyx]

Speaking of Talents, I've always been a bit confused by the connection between Talents and Stats.
If I may use Fiore as an example:

Animal Handling (Cha): (Rank 1 + 5 Cha + 2 Other) = 8

I understand that he is a Rank 1 in Animal Handling, and I also understand that he gets a +2 bonus toward Animal Handling Rolls thanks to his "Animal Magnetism" Trait, but...
What does the number 8 represent? Is it overall skill level? Roll bonus?
Why is the Charisma score added in? I thought Talents and Stats had their own separate, respective Rolls.
My ignorance knows no bounds!

[Pyromania99]

Lazy ass me is just gonna post here what the synergies will be.

Alchemy (Knowledge)

Arcane Craft (Alchemy)

Knowledge (Linguistics)

Linguistics (Arcane Craft)

This dot represents me screwing up.

The 8 equals what I add to the d20 roll when I roll for the Talent.

Talents and Stats do have their own seperate rolls, but plain Stat Scores are rarely rolled, most of the times they just add to your Talents. If it wasn't for them adding to your Talents, then you wouldn't succeed on anything most of the time XD. The Stat that goes with a Talent represents the natural ability of your character that would enhance said talent.

For instance, the Knowledge Talent is generally enhanced by intelligence, or Aptitude in this case, as knowledge is in real life. If one is more Charismatic, then they will be better at Negotiating. If one is more dexterous and quick, then they will be better at Acrobatics.

So sometimes Stats will be rolled plainly, but not always. Most of the time, its Talents.

[Keia Vewyx]

Ah, so that "8" is overall XP for the skill. I see, I see~
That helped quite a bit, thank you.

Edit:
Wait a minute.
So the 8 is what you, the GM and die roller, add to the roll in order to determine if you pass the roll DL or not.
I understand it more now, thank you. Now to edit my CS...

[Renose]

But yea, Pyro, other than having the wench leave, I don't really know what else to post, so I will wait for Ryu's character to do something

Also need to know what Talent Synergies you are selecting Pyro XD

[Ryu]

Heh... I was waiting for you, Renose...
Heh... heh...

Anyhow, I really like playing the character of Fiore's other consciousness. It's fun to tease Fiore.

[Renose]

Yep. also you forgot to select a Synergy for Sleight of Hand.

Just tell me which one you want, you don't need to edit your CS (as I will edit the one I have for you on the front page, :3)

I put them up top of this page. I can just PM them to you though XD

[Ryu]

Wait, does Synergy towards something when it reaches five (Let's say it goes from three to five) allow it to have a Synergy?

[Renose]

I found them :3

[Pyromania99]

It's fine, the wench leaving. I'm thinking about having her notice how much Fiore has been staring. . . Perv.

[Renose]

I do like the chara interaction already :3

Hopefully though we will get to the Adventure soon enough ^^

I do have some cool things planned >:3

[Keia Vewyx]

The wench is just going to take that flak and leave?

She should scold Lyrisa. She should say something like "children shouldn't say such sad things."
Or "children shouldn't lie. Now go back to your parents, young lady."
Because then we might get a barfight.

[Renose]

Or she could slap a bitch.

This is the medieval ages after all. People, including women, got slapped all the time :3

Alright, I think ill get something in.

[Ryu]

I just had a retard moment, sorry

Okay, so Synergy said it would add to Rolls, not the Talent itself, so here is my Synergy (Plus updated my CS)

Acrobatics
Synergy: Fisticuffs

Negotiation
Synergy: Observation

Sleight of Hand
Synergy: Melee Weaponry

Melee Weaponry
Synergy: Fisticuffs

If this was said, shots Medieval Arrows would be fired.

[Renose]

o.o

I just said that now...

XD

She's a slightly more dignified tavern wench. Plus, its uncouth for a tavern wench to get angry at some stupid brat who's just acting childish. So yea, that is my reasoning on that. XD

"Now now, no need to go making up stories, no matter what you may be feelin' about your parents at this age, its a bit wrong to say things like that.

Medieval Arrows...

Renose said I doubt a young one like yourself could survive out there all alone.

...have most definitely...

Renose said Anyway, you should get back to your parents soon, I bet they must be worried about you."

...been fired.

I like this dignified tavern wench. I hope she doesn't die too soon.

[Renose]

Also Sleight of Hand doesn't have Melee Weaponry as a Synergy...

It has Manipulate Device, Stealth, and Disguise

Sorry if this was unclear ^^

[Renose]

Also Keia's post gets a cookie. An imaginary cookie >:3
