[OOC] Table of Monsters

[Eklispe]

Looking through I didn't see a section explaining how dice rolls apply to stats if at all. halp D:

[Lugia]

I will generally be deciding that as we go along with the RP, but most non-combat dice rolls will be dex-based, with a few being dex/strength-based.
...
I think that's explained somewhere, anyways, weapons will also have damage values such as '1d6 + (stat modifiers)', where you'd roll a single six-sided die to determine extra damage. As for evasion/hitting, that's luck (evasion) vs. agility (accuracy). I think most of this is on the first post, under stats, but if it's not, then I'm sorry.

[The Grey Dust]

Finished R'lyeh.

Hopefully acceptable.
Added helper mote + thunder Mote.

[Eklispe]

mb I didn't see it was in the Character's tab.

[Lugia]

The Grey Dust is accepted!... oh, and I added a new 'mote' spell. Water Mote, which your character should probably take in his next level or so.

[The Grey Dust]

Most likely.

I wonder if we will get a bulky tank.

Since we have Mage. Rogue. Support...

[Lugia]

Wait, am I the Mage, or Support? Meh, either way, it kinda says something about the team when the strongest character on it has a strength of... 9.

[The Grey Dust]

You are the mage.
I am support.

When do we begin?

[Lugia]

Either tomorrow, or after Eklipse makes his app, and gets it accepted.

[Eklispe]

Much as i would love to start tomorrow I will be gone all day for a track meet so don't expect any posts from until late that night.

Bio

Dorisma was born into the noble tribe of ogres known as Rockskulls that only had one tragic role in life. To be culled by the humans every year to keep their numbers low in case they became a danger. The humans were too many and to well armed, retreating on horses and running away while firing arrows leaving the powerful ogres unable to fight back. Slowly her tribe was pushed further and further away from their ancestral lands, born the sole daughter of the chieftain Dorisma was trained in the ancient ways of her people until she was a full adult.

The reason for the innocent ogre tribe's knowledge of martial artist was simply because they had no weapons of their own. The tribe was forced every year to leave the weakest behind to satisfy the human's cruel desires. Year after year Dorisma watched those she had grown up with deemed not strong enough and left to the mercy of the humans. Her tears fell in silence, just as her anger grew quietly festering.

Of course as the chief's daughter, and a strong daughter at that, Dorisma was exempt from this horrendous tradition. Although the tribe had a shaman of sorts and Dorisma did briefly study under her Dorisma found that she wasn't suited for the magical arts regardless of how the shaman said Dorisma had a talent for it.

Eventually Dorisma came of the age where she was considered an adult and her father asked her to go on a very important mission for him, to find allies to protect themselves from the humans and finally be safe. Dorisma solemnly agreed to the mission but she had something different in mind. She would indeed find allies, but not to protect themselves, rather to eliminate all the humans. Her father may have simply wanted safety but she knew that would only work for a time, more and more humans would come until even whatever allies she could retrieve were overwhelmed. The only way to deal with this problem was to deal with it at the source.

[Lugia]

Um... mind actually telling us what you rolled? I can't seem to discern what your rolls were, and what your species/class bonuses were.

[Eklispe]

I told you my roll bonus but i will break down class and race. Also pet peeve would you mind not using ...'s, they make you seem more condescending and that makes people feel like their being criticized which makes things confrontational which is no good.

[Eklispe]

Edited

[Lugia]

Hrm... now my issue is the short bio. Er, Evanist, Grey, are you okay with the bio as it is right now?

[Evanist]

Bio way too short.... If it were 3 paragraph, ok, but I feel like its too short.

[Eklispe]

I feel like my complaint just got totally ignored. Anyway will work on.

[Lugia]

I don't see how apostrophes can lead you to that conclusion, but, technically, when someone is accepting OR denying your app, they are criticizing you... how you take said criticism is up to you, and how valid the criticisms are is up to the person looking at your app. Either way, it's too much of a habit for me to use the apostrophe in my sentences... I hope you can learn to ignore it, or not make it a big deal, or something.

I hope you understand, and I hope I'm not angering you too much. As much as we seemed to 'bash' your app, we really do want more players, and I know you can improve said app.

[Eklispe]

I was refering to ellispes, or the dot-dot-dot. I understand that it was critisim it just seems to be more negitive than constutive with these...

[Lugia]

Ah, I see. Sorry, that was my mistake.

[The Grey Dust]

Indeed just a little tad short.
Although mine was equally short, in my defense: I was hesitant on making lore where none was.

I would perhaps flesh out the history of the tribe as a whole. Say for example where the tribe was and how did the humans get into the ritual of killing them. And perhaps what sort of monk-style she trained and perhaps how she was granted permission to leave her tribe.

Other than that, I enjoy the backstory.
What an odd bunch we have.

1) Kobold hatchling turned adventurer-mage to protect Kobolds from human.
2) Troll batman, because dead parents and ninja skills.
3) Sagahin researcher turned adventurer-support to get back his research notes.
4) Orc monk, because hates humans.
