[OOC] RPGuild Ranked Tournament

[Vordak]

@Vordak It's exceptionally potent used properly without it. I can give it a pass, given the rest of your abilities aren't too overbearing.

@Innue

Thanks, i think i'll certainly need that.

[Bartimaeus]

I should post the changes in about 30 mins

Having a delay at school atm

For the portals: max didtance away from caster is 100 ft. In this range it can be opened anywhere Dmitri pleases, but cannot be in a pestilence, touching another object, or inside another player. Dmitri gains 1 charge in his savior arm evrytime it is hit with magic or a enchanted/magic weapon. He can open 2 portals per charge and stpre up to 2 charges, but can only ppen 2 portals at once. While the portald can open 100 feet from Dmitri, they must be atleast 70ft from eachother. The screens travel about 30ft.
The rocket pad can be attached to almost any solid surface, including flesh. So this can basically attach to something and send it flying at about 25fps. So Ex: User1 attaches the rocket pad to a weak pillar then presses the button. -TURN 2- the rocket pad activates and sends the pillar flying. Lightning scroll summons natural lightning from the nearest cloud to target location.
For the arm: when you say nullified AoE, here's an example: lets say a peice of paper(AoE atk) is flying at you, if you do an overhead slash(chop) with a knife(arm), it cuts it in half, now the width of the knife(arm) that touched the paper is destroyed, and the rest of it countinues to come at you. So its basically cutting the AoE in half, and taking a chunk the size of his arm out of it, making it a slightly smaller attack, reducing the damage done to Dmitri. (Bigger AoEs will be affected less while smaller ones will be effected more. I will however change this upon request.
Zip ties: yes they are actually zip ties like the ones used by bounty hunters and terrorists for makeshift handcuffs( i chose them cause its unexpected and there's no key.

<Snipped quote by Bartimaeus>

For your portals, I need to know the range these can be opened in. Does one need to be opened near your character? Can you open directly behind an opponent? Is this instant or is there some kind of preparation to this? Portals are iffy forms of magic due to the high amount of abuse they can be used for - we need to make sure this is done fairly. I would recommend changing it so one portal must be near you and that the other must be placed within 50-75 feet of the other and cannot be placed within 10 feet of an opponent. This would also need significant preparation, usage limit, or a high cooldown.

What is the effective range on the Nether Screens?

I need to know more about your Rocket Pad. I don't precisely understand what that is. If you could clarify, I would appreciate it.

I need to have a better understanding on how your Lightning Scroll works. Is it natural lightning or magical lightning? Is it launched from the air above them (at what distance) or is it launched from your character?

For the arm, I'm not comfortable with it nullifying all magic. I am fine with it itself being highly resistant to the point you could catch a bolt with it, but I do not want it nullifying AoE spells just because you catch part of it on the arm.

Are zip ties like... actual zip ties?

@Innue

I've posted the changes on my character in the character tab, by the Asterisk-*

[Innue]

Apologies. I've been on the phone for the last two hours. I will post the map within the next two hours.

[Bartimaeus]

Nice

@Bartimaeus

I'm going to say the lightning from lightning scroll can only move on the same movement restrictions of 250 fps. There will have to be a short delay from when it is activated to when it strikes (a second or two at least) and starts from at least 200 feet above the opponent.

The portals are fine, but they cannot be placed within 10 feet of an opponent. There is too much potency in allowing that with a high speed ability, especially given it has defensive properties as well.

The arm is fine as long as it doesn't completely nullify AoE magic.

[Innue]

Going to add in one more set of changes to the portals.

They are unstable for the first few seconds of creation, so there is a slight delay of a second for when you catch a foreign object before it exits out of the other end of the portal. After the first few seconds, they can pass instantly. This would not apply to your own abilities and weapons.

[Bartimaeus]

Sounds fair, thanks Innue.

[Innue]

Sounds fair, thanks Innue.

@Bartimaeus

This honestly actually is helpful for something with one of my other threads in which I have a spell/moveset that uses portals. I'd been uncertain on some ways to tune balance on it before this.

[Bartimaeus]

Oh that's quite convienient then. :D

[Bartimaeus]

Its going to be one match at a time i assume?

[Bartimaeus]

Also , with projectiles at 250fps, that'll give like, a turn of reaction time? Or like is dodging the first action they have to do to avoid the shot before they do anything else.

@Bartimaeus

Depends on how they do their post. It isn't definite on how many posts a second is.

[Bartimaeus]

K

[Innue]

If everyone who has been accepted could please post their characters in the character's tab, I would greatly appreciate it. I can then start making the match ups for Round 1.

All approved characters should be placed in their by tomorrow 8 May 2015 by 6:00 pm EST.

The map will be released at that time.

[ImportantNobody]

Can't wait for this, i wanna see how good Dmitri is, as I've never used him. But I'm probably gonna die in the first round.

@Bartimaeus

Don't worry, we can die on the first round together!

I haven't talked to you yet, so...welcome, and stuff!

[AlteredTundra]

@Innue I haven't gotten a confirmation if Alexis is accepted. Unless I missed it somewhere.

[SgtEasy]

Oops, uhhh, I forgot to post my character. Is it still open?
