[OOC] Estermere - A Medieval Fantasy Roleplay

[Necrophage]

Your complaint on fog seems just as valid as a complaint on someone who can turn into shapeless water or fire. The way I see it they all have considerable weakness. Ooh.. not being able to go into a house without being invited. Classic vampire weakness that truly sucks for you!

ALRIGHTO!

The moment y'all've been waiting for...

@Vec, accepted.
@Rainmaker, accepted. Btw, the Everwinter Mountains are a half day's trek away. To Fullforge Keep is another half-day.
@Fated Fallen, where exacty did Tira get her crossbow? How skilled is she with her shortsword? Could've done better on the gnome description but since I already know what they are, accepted.
@Daird, could you please expand more on why the Flamekin are sailors? How did she gain her survival skills? Other than that, accepted.
@Fleigling, not sure if someone carries around 1500 gold pieces all day in their pocket (though he may have that at home. Note: A noble's purse is usually filled with 25 gp average according to the 5e Basic Rules). What is Lucien's actual age? Where exactly did he learn swordsmanship?
@ChibiYuki, accepted.
@MyCatGinger, accepted.
@SyrianHamster, accepted.
@Shard, accepted. Btw, does he speak Common?
@Yog Sothoth, accepted. Since he looks a little bulky, I might recommend that he has a negative modifier on his Charisma (DM talk for not-so-charismatic-or-fun-dude), and he has a limited amount of 'rages' where he goes berserk. On first level, usually that's two per day.
@Necrophage, accepted.

You may post now in the IC if you want to, if you've been already cleared of any errors. I thought it would be interesting if we started out at nighttime.

People who I haven't mentioned here, am reviewing yours as fast as I can. Download the D&D Basic Rules v0.2 from their website. Very good read. Definitely recommend it for stuff like food prices, trade, weapon prices, etc.

Whilst I'm alright with the other powers, turning into mist is a big no-no for me. I wasn't allowed superior agility because it could be used to powergame - mist is even more OP, since you can't hit mist at all.

You weren't allowed Immunity to the entirety of magic because THAT is way more OP compared to any ability anyone's listed. Never mind the fact that there are also other players who can turn into a body of water or fire, or the fact that Shisa is playing a vampire. An eight year old one.

[ChibiYuki]

Silver Potions.... poor Shisa, better stay away from them dwarfs or alchemist :<

((Question of Interest for the Mist Ability: What happens if the mist is separated into two groups and cant be reformed back into one? Like a wall of wind separating the mist dispersing it around? Not letting it reform))

[BingTheWing]

@IncredibleBee, accepted.

@Shisa, accepted.

[BingTheWing]

I've added a little bit to the economy info to the OOC post, in case anyone is only carrying silver pieces.

[Shard]

Yeah, Leaf speaks Gnomish and Common ^^, if that's okay. Otherwise only common works well too

[Professor_Wyvern]

Name: Elric Barber

Race: Human

Race Description: Humans are humans.

Age: 25

Gender: Male

Appearance: Elric is a rather lanky individual, with arms that are slightly longer than the average man's arms. He makes sure to keep his hands clean, but occasionally he has loose hair stuck underneath his fingernails. He has short cropped red hair, and a finely trimmed beard and mustache. His nose is slightly crooked to the left. His skin is fairly tanned from him being outside generally, and to greet fellow residents, and travelers and to get people to come to his shop for a haircut and a shave, alongside dentistry and surgery, as a true Barber-surgeon should know and offer.

Clothing/Armor: Armor wise he has a tanned leather chest-piece, and leather boots. However he typically wears a loose red tunic, woolen pants and simple sewn shoes.

Weapons: Elric only has two things (besides arms and legs) that could count as a weapon. He has his straight razor, made of a rather durable metal for better shaving and trimming. And he has his fishing pole, with a freshly applied line and hook. Well then there's the saw for medical amputations but that stays in the shop.

Skills/Abilities: Elric can in fact, read and write. He is a marvelously skilled barber who can elegantly give a fine shave and trim of the hair with his scissors and straight razor, and he has gotten good at pulling out teeth, and other surgical tasks required of a Barber-surgeon. He is also good at running away from things (usually his older brothers). He is also a fine angler, having come in fourth place in a local fishing contest. He is also a decent cobbler, having learned the craft from his parents. He practices his cobbling whenever his shoe gets worn or he has the parts to make a new one.

Magic: He wishes upon stars occasionally. But that doesn't really count.

Inventory: 2 gold
Scissors
Straight Razor and strop
A small container of shaving cream, and a lathering brush
A half used bottle of cologne
A wool rag
Sewing equipment
Fishing pole
Pliers

Backstory: Elric doesn't have a particularly interesting backstory. He was born to Estermere Cobblers, and was the sixth born out of fifteen children, and was one of those fifteen who grew up into adulthood. (Not dying from sickness or other means) He studied the art of cobbling from his father, ran away from his older brothers who liked to playfully smack him about, and fishing at a nearby river with his folks. He picked up the ability to read while messed around in town, when father didn't need him to help make the shoes. The most interesting event of his life was when a salesman/barber from Farethas came to town. He was a barber who was selling an elixir (made of piss and ink) which he touted as a cure to balding.

Needless to say, it was a fascinating day, and he wanted to become a barber like the man, after watching him shave a mans face with style. So he saved up his share of money so he could afford his own straight razor and a pair of scissors. Which he was able to get, he then practiced his craft on his relatives, occasionally cutting them, but getting a smoother shave and cut every time. He also practiced his first tooth pulling on his father who had lower canine tooth chipped when he slipped and fell onto a rock.

Eventually as he grew older, he made a deal with a local locksmith, Johnathan Abbey, to rent out his unused antic, so he could have a place to do business at. Johnathan would become a good friend of Elric, even going so far as to tell him that he was a member of the Red Locks. But back to Elric, he became a respected man of the community. Which was nice and he did enjoy his job of giving people good haircuts and shaves, alongside the other barber crafts such as amputations, bloodletting and dentistry.

However he longs for something more...

[Vec]

so how will lifestyles work in this RP? do we subtract each passing day the respective amount of money from our inventories or what?

[Metronome]

Could we not make this a board game?

I don't like board games.

Yeah, alright. Forget I said anything. I don't want to be the "plank in the eye" guy.

Cut Lucien's wealthy, longevity and weapons training down considerably. Any better?
