Answering by post order

@Behemoth542 Any questions, or suggestions?

Are you okay with Bumblebee's Speed Boost skill being used? If skills are energy-based, how much energy do you think such an ability such require per use, and would you allow it to be used multiple times in a single fight if there's enough energy available for it?

Is 'Gender' actually required on the Character Sheet? Will it come into play as part of the game at any point? Would we need to include race, nationality, place of birth or any other biographical details as well?

Would it be better to list the information on the Character Sheet in the order: Name, Stats, Level, Skills, Traits, Gender, Last Mod Made as this would prioritise the information which would be needed most frequently during battles?

@SimplyJohn

• Considering the "Once per battle" thing, I see no problem. If you want repeated uses, you should increase the cost, due to the fact that it prevents any damage. Maybe instead become untargetable?
• If you want to add a gender, feel free to do so.
• Hmm, seems fair. I'll think about it

---

<Snipped quote by Behemoth542>

I suggest you answer my questions three:

What is you name?

What is your quest?

What is the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

@rush99999

• Behemoth542
• Stuff
• I don't know, perhaps googling it is a valid option

Also, passive skills are traits. At the moment, you start with only a skill. Later you may add that as a trait.

---

@Genni's character seems fine at the moment. I like how you guys are talking about the characters.

---

The way I read it we'll mostly be facing off against a single target...

@SimplyJohn

Spoiler: there will be instances of multiple enemies. Heroes don't always have numerical advantage.

Would damage healed be classed as damage dealt for XP gain purposes? The effect would be against HP, but not enemy HP.

I guess I'll make it 100% ratio per HP healed. Thanks for the hindsight. Expect cookies.

Would the 'once per battle' rule still apply if the Energy system is going to be used for skills as well?

I'd have to think about it. The energy system is a way to allow repeated use of skills, but I'm still worried of special attacks being spammed. I'm still thinking of ways of balancing its use, giving a short cooldown on the skill use (1 turn or two) before you can use it again. So a dog is unable to spam the "Bite" skill, for example.

Energy Regeneration Issue

I'd say when the turn begins. Seems better that way.

@Error

• BC has a point, you're spending 8 StP on that character. Fix that, please
• Also, I don't see the point on 16 hp. For the last chance thing, I doubt it matters. Just stick to the basics, please.

Edith Blackeslee

Name: Edith Blakeslee

Side: Tech

Sex: Female

Age: 29

Race: Human Cyborg

Appearance: Edith is a tall, slender woman with a slim yet athletic build. She's got a light brown skin tone, and long, brunette hair usually tied in a ponytail. Due to her cybernetic modifications, several of her body parts have been replaced. The most prominent change is a dark, reflective and featureless mask that covers Edith's whole face, which also functions as an enhancement to her sense of sight and hearing. The cost of this is the fact that this mask is attached and connected directly to her brain, meaning that behind the mask most of her actual face has been removed. Other modifications are resistant and slick looking legs, and a cybernetic arms.
Edith commonly dresses with beige, baggy cargo pants tucked under black military boots and a black leather jacket over a moss green tank top. She also tends to use biker gloves.

Personality: Edith is, by nature, a proud, strong-willed and confident woman. She heavily values individuality and the different quirks that make any single person unique from others. Due to this, she hates the mask she's been made to wear, believing it is made like that to make her one of many, and effectively erases her identity.
She's very determined to finish whatever job she has been given, and will not quit until it has been completed in a satisfactory way. Because of her past, she's very attached to kids, and wants to have one of her own.
She has a liking towards rock music and similar genres, disliking electronic music on its majority.

Faction: N/A. Edith is currently a freelancing mercenary.

Biography:

Biography

Before being turned into a cyborg, Edith was a PE teacher at a simple high-school, and a recurring participant of athletic competitions. She was married with Garret Blakeslee, an aspiring comedian, and an Art teacher at her school. They were both expecting a child, until an event that changed her life.
One night, after one of Garret's shows, they both went home and were about to prepare dinner until she heard a chopping sound. Curious, she went to the kitchen to see what happened, only to find a decapitated Garret staining the floor, walls and his murderer's clothes with blood. In front of him was a thin, purple-clad girl, now splattered with blood all over her. Her violet, emotionless eyes didn't budge from her eye sockets, watching Garret's body as its head fell a few meters away from it, making a crude, fleshy, nauseating sound when it impacted against the floor. When Edith started screaming, the assailant noticed her and knocked her out.
Her next memory after that event is being on a surgery table, and seeing that white silhouettes where extracting her child from her womb. Apparently, the surgeons had miscalculated the dose of anaesthesia applied on her, leading her to wake up during the surgery. She didn't stay up for long, as the doctors noticed it and applied another dose.
That was the start of her life as an assassin and a test subject for mass-produced cybernetic enhancements. Edith was brainwashed in order to do her missions and, after they were finished, to return to her base and report how it all worked out before being examined. This went on for a few months until her last mission.
It was at night, and she was tasked with disposing of a man who had, simply put, heard and asked too many things. The mission went smoothly, until she heard a baby crying. Trying to figure out where the sound came from, she looked out of the window and saw a pregnant woman walking towards a neighboring house along with a man, who was carrying a crying toddler in his arms. This triggered the first step toward a complete memory recovery and, as a consequence of this, her brainwashing disappearing. Edith panicked when it happened, and went into hiding.
She spent several weeks hiding and escaping the clutches of the organization that kidnapped her, and trying to find ways to, at least, become fertile again, if not fully human. To pay for all the possible expenses, she started working as a freelancing mercenary, which she continues doing to the moment the story starts.

Skills:
Athletic: Even before getting her cybernetic enhancements, Edith was at a formidable physical condition. Now, thanks to her augments, she's now even stronger and faster than before, capable of keep running at high speeds for a very long while. She's also quite nimble.
Acrobatics: On par with her athletic prowess, Edith's also capable of performing stunts on par with an average gymnast.
Close combat: Edith is extremely capable of dealing with 4 or 5 average humans at the same time while being unarmed. She's also got some experience with melee weapons.

Abilities:
Cybernetic modifications: Pretty much self-explanatory, most of her body was modified and improved to make her a better soldier overall. These changes include:

• Enhanced memory: Due to the modifications made to her cerebral cortex, Edith is now able to recall memories with great precision. However, this only applies to things that happened after her modifications (for obvious reasons).
• Enhanced sight and hearing: Her mask allows her to easily see things that normal humans would need a glass lens to fully capture their details. Her hearing also picks up tones above and below the ones that a common ear would perceive. Also, due to the nature of her mask, her field of vision is drastically improved, leading her to seeing in her peripherical vision like she was staring directly at it.
• Physical improvement: Simply put, Edith has much more stamina than an average human. Along with the ability of running very fast for very long, Edith now doesn't need to eat, drink or sleep, the energy to do different things generated by a powercore located next to her heart.
• Retractable blades: Edith has short, retractable sawed blades inside her arms, near her wrists. These blades are fairly durable and sharp.
• Short-range needle gun: On her left wrist there is a small gun that fires heated needles in a straight line. They're very sharp and resistant, even when taking into account their miniscule size.

Possessions:

• A small handgun
• A survival knife

Maybe later you can get to summon it as a skill, getting a boost on stats and skills.
Also, lack of posts is due to two days without internet. Router problems.

So, during that hiatus, I came up with other mechanics I'm going to add shortly:

• Health increases its value by 5 per stat point.
• Everyone starts with 7 stat points to distribute among skills. Each level up grants 4 StP (I'm going to us StP for stat points and SkP for skill points, from now on)
• At the start of the game, everyone will have a basic stat value of 15/0/0
• Experience gain mechanics:
  
  • By damage dealt: 100% ratio at the moment. Dealt means any damage kind of damage that affects the enemy's HP. Damage blocked by the enemy yields no XP
  • By damage prevented: 50% ratio at the moment. Prevented means any kind of damage nullified by defense, traits, evasion, etc.
  • By damage received: 25% ratio at the moment. Damage received is any damage that affects your own HP
• To use skills, an Energy system will be implemented. Everyone will have a default 100 Energy and 10 Energy/turn regeneration. Active skills will cost a certain amount of Energy, which can overlap with the regeneration. Both the maximum Energy and its regeneration can be modified by traits, but not by StP

Any questions, or suggestions?

In case you're wondering, I just realized I posted this on the wrong sub-forum. I'll delete this later, just informing you that this has been moved to the Tabletop interest checks.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

BattleCorp™: Combatant Creator

Hello, thank you in advance for reading this and welcome to the interest check of an idea I wanted to work with. I'll detail the different mechanics that form the core to this game. But first the plot:

The character sheet be something like this:

Sheet

Name: (Name of the character. Add epithets between parentheses after the name, if you have any)
Gender: (Gender)
Skills: (You'll start with only one skill. You ask if you can have X skill, I tell you yes/no and, if needed, the numerical value (for example, Damage Per Turn stat, or a heal) Each skills can only be used once every fight, unless stated otherwise)
Traits: (You start with no traits, but you can later get some. They're what could be called passive skills.
Stats: (There are only three stats: Attack, Defense and Health. When making the sheet, you'll have to distribute some points on these stats)
Level: (You start at Level 1. The formatting if this would be something like this: Lvl: 1 EXP: 0/50. Later I'll provide with a rough table of levels and experience required for each level)
Last modification: (Any time you make a modification, you add it here, along with the date.

---

Mechanics

• I'll spawn an enemy for the players to fight, and give it an action every two days or so.
• The actions are divided in turns, which last between each enemy post.
• Every player may act once per turn, unless otherwise stated by an active buff, trait or battle conditions.
• The default attack is simply stating that you attack. It will deal (playerAttack - enemyDefense) damage. Damage cannot be negative unless a trait or something similar allows that to happen.
• You are not limited by simply attacking. Creativity when acting is encouraged (For example, you throw a stone you picked from the ground instead of simply attacking) as it may have additional effects. However, try to keep it somewhat simple and consistent. Be aware that those additional effects may not be always benefical.
• When you win a fight, you get EXP, which allows you to level up. This gives you some stat points and a skill point, which can be spent on a skill or a trait.
• When an enemy dies, I'll give you some time to settle down (A turn, most times) and spend your stat and skill points. After that time, I'll spawn another enemy. This will go on for a while.

---

Alright, this is, basically, how the game will be. If you have any ideas or suggestions, ask away.
