@Sep

“FTFY” is lingo that means “fixed that for you”.
When he quoted you, he edited the quote to correct “USS” to “ISS”.

@Lewascan2 yeah I'm cool with it.

I'll get an IC up in a lil' bit.

Gotta let @Lord Wraith write that USS Discovery app first.

@Sep

Sweet! Though, oh, by the way, the image for the USS George Hammond seems to be broken. Not sure if that's just on my end, but I figured you'd want to know.

History of the Ship:

The Confederate Navy's most powerful battleship class, engineered by the Free Dac Volunteers Engineering Corps, it has some design similarities to both the Providence-class carrier/destroyer and the Recusant-class light destroyer, but is almost as large as five Venator-class Star Destroyers. The class is based around its ion pulse cannons, a weapons system not used on board any other warship class, due to its unique power-generation needs. Despite its status as the Confederacy's most powerful battleship design, eclipsing pre-war models like the Lucrehulk-class, the model is classified as a heavy cruiser and is one of the largest designs that has come from the Confederate shipyards.

The ship sports an advanced sensor array and navigation computer, which are capable of calculating courses around objects that are too large for the Malevolence to perform a hyperspace jump through. The Malevolence also possesses sensor jammers that are capable of preventing enemies from sending out transmissions, such as the communications systems of Venator-class Star Destroyers. Furthermore, the Malevolence is also equipped with stabilizers, as well its own communications systems that can sustain a transmission while moving through hyperspace and is capable of sending transmissions to other areas of its interior. It also retains scanners that have the capability of detecting any sources of power, such as nearby vessels and droids. The security systems -among other things- have been further enhanced and made redundant to prevent the sort of sabotage that ended its predecessor. It also sports a Class 1 hyperdrive, a further improvement over the original Class 2.

The fourth of its class to be built, the Malevolence II is an improved reconstruction of the flagship once lost to General Grievous. Constructed at Pammant Docks under the supervision of Grievous, the Malevolence was almost slain in the womb by the interference of a Jedi Knight, who managed to overcome all of the defenses arrayed against them through what can only be called the will of the Force. The fortunate intervention of Darth Sinnali saw the Jedi thwarted and slain, however, leading to the successful completion and launch of the revived superweapon. As a reward for her actions and simultaneous punishment to Grievous (both for losing the original Malevolence and for losing the second if not for Sinnali's intervention), Sinnali was assigned as the Commander of the Vessel, superseding even Grievous's authority. And together, they went a bit hog wild, becoming a terror of the Republic. Under Sinnali's advice, the threat of the Malevolence was vastly magnified by its inclusion in a proper fleet formation, no longer simply relying on its strength alone and risking it being surrounded and gunned down again.

Notable Crew: General Grievous, OOM Command Battle Droid, Darth Sinnali.

Darth Sinnali

True Name: Unknown/Discarded
Alias: Darth Sinnali
Profession: Secretary in the Republic Senate, Sith Apprentice, Separatist General
Age: 26

Appearance:

A young woman of pale skin and jet-black shoulder-length hair, Sinnali cuts a distinctive figure with her black and grey Sith robes and hooded cloak. Perhaps her most notable feature is the large black blindfold that obscures her upper face from the bridge of her nose to the edge of her hairline. Despite seeming like she should be blinded, Sinnali appears to have no trouble operating as normal in any respect, be it mundane or combat. True to her Sith nature, her lightsaber thrums a vivid crimson when ignited; though her backup saber hums a royal purple. Should her mask be removed, behind it can be found deep blue eyes that are often bled a molten gold from the Dark Side when not concealing her nature.

Personality:

As far as Sith go, Sinnali is almost unnervingly well-composed. A smile is never far from her lips, nor a polite greeting... so long as she is afforded the same. She can be snarky, even liable to run her mouth to playfully needle people, and an air of easy comradery tends to follow her, treating others on an individual meritocratic basis. Her amiability isn't even false the majority of the time; though it's just as likely to be a tool to further her ends. Despite her youth and enjoyment of a good fight, she is no hot-blooded fool. Sinnali's fury burns cold... when it burns at all. She seems to take after Count Dooku in her usage of the Dark Side of the Force; though her personal stance is yet further divorced from his or even Sidious's. To Sinnali, there is nothing more worth pursuing than freedom, and freedom requires power. Extending from that, "Power is Power" is her straightforward motto, one that leads her to shun neither the Light nor the Dark, despite being inclined to the latter. She believes in personal balance, and she interprets true balance in the Force to be the mastery of both sides of it, her boundless hunger for power and curiosity having ironically inadvertedly kept her from falling into the depths of depravity so many Sith have before her.

To this effect, time has healed some wounds. While she believes the Jedi are blind fools, she does not inherently despise them as a whole any longer, nor particularly share Sidious's dream of destroying them. In fact, one might even go as far as to say she'd regret seeing the Jedi wiped out and would be perfectly willing to coexist with them peacefully if the opportunity presented itself. That said, while she can be cordial and objective, she can also be equally ruthless, even sadistically cruel towards those that offend her. Despite her default state, it is important to never forget that she is most certainly not any less a Sith for her oddities... and is, in fact, perhaps all the more dangerous for them. Her extremely fine control of her emotions and how they interact with the Force mean she can go from zero to a hundred and back almost entirely without warning, and the disarming charm she has partially inherited from Sidious's teachings make her an incredibly proficient social navigator with a silver tongue that has changed the course of her Galaxy. She is a self-interested manipulator at heart, who knows exactly what kind of monster Sidious is and does his bidding with an easy affability, morals be damned.

Of course, the convenient caveat to this for our protagonists is that she certainly doesn't see any reason why she should owe the local Sidious anything. Whatever she and her Grievous's personal feelings on the matter, they owe the local Separatists no allegiance, even if pretending otherwise under the right circumstances could be useful. It's nothing personal, but from an objective standpoint, defeating the Replicators is only common sense to snuff a threat that might spread back to their world.

Bio:

In another place and time, Darth Sidious would do a bit more than cackle quietly over Count Dooku's indiscretions in training powerful "assassins". To make sure Dooku understood how replaceable he truly was if push came to shove, Sidious took on an "assassin" of his own, a former Jedi youngling. From a young age, Sinnali had possessed a gift for vivid Force visions and -resultingly- an unnatural intellect and emotional development for her age. As such, when she was unwillingly recruited into the Jedi Order by Master Pong Krell, she developed a deep and abiding grudge for her circumstances and -in many ways- sought to defy the Jedi out of spite. Her unusual emotional development made her harder to indoctrinate in the Jedi ways, and more damningly -when her hunger for all knowledge was accounted for, it made her very attracted to the Dark side. Not just because she wanted to learn everything, no matter if it was "Light" or "Dark", but because telling a child that despises you not to do something will always naturally make them want to do it more. Her unsuitability as a Jedi was clear enough that there was a true risk she would never be a Padawan, but before she could be sent to the Agricultural Corps, Sinnali fled the order entirely, all her possessions in tow.

It didn't take a watchful Sidious much effort at all to bring the power-hungry girl into the fold. And so, with a new name soon after bestowed by the Dark Side, Darth Sinnali became a very different sort of apprentice than others Sidious had trained before. It was made clear from the start that Sinnali was only useful as long as she was threatening Dooku's position, but her training accounted for the fact that she could never match him in the ways he specialized. Instead, where Tyrannus was Sidious's arm abroad, Sinnali was his tool at home, her skillset that of honeyed words and creeping mental influence. She was his voice in the dark and puppet strings upon the Republic Senate, helping him to consolidate power through coercion, bribery, assassination and fear, weaving a web among the courts to sow the seeds for the Galactic Empire.

In time, Sinnali would be put to work in matters abroad to expand her horizons, during which time she would then become involved in the Clone Wars and acquainted with Sidious's inner circle, including Dooku and Grievous. She would also be set to the task of hunting down lost Sith and Jedi lore and artifacts, which would eventually lead to her becoming acquainted with the works of Sidious's own late Master, Darth Plagueis, an eventuality that would begin Sinnali's development as a true Sith. Her forays in distant places would eventually culminate in her thwarting the near successful destruction of the rebuilt Malevolence at Pammant Docks and subsequently being assigned to command it and preside over General Grievous as the acting commander for the vessel.

Though she acknowledged Grievous's superior experience in vessel command and usually left everything to him, there was no mistake going forward that she was meant to temper him and foil any Force-driven interference from the likes of the Jedi. In practice, Sinnali's honeyed words and willingness to take a backseat mean that she and Grievous shared approximately equal authority, and both could at least begrudgingly respect the other. For that reason, Grievous grew less recalcitrant to accept her strategic suggestions or to change course when Sinnali did have to exercise her authority over him. Grievous was acknowledged the tactical superior, commanding battles from the top with occasional advice from Sinnali, and Sinnali was the "face" of the crew, taking the lead in social situations. Certainly, this was helped no small degree by Sinnali using the Force to slowly work the general over to her way of thinking in some respects, acting as an impromptu secret "therapist" to address the hatred and overconfidence that were his greatest weaknesses as a commander. By the present day, their working relationship is objectively young but surprisingly firm, enough so that when Daniel Jackson came calling, Sinnali was able to convince Grievous to stomach aiding the Republic -even if it was just an alternate version of it.

Skills:

Sinnali's most refined skills lean towards the mental and telekinetic. She is an able manipulator of minds on either individual or mass scale, able to use a form of "perception manipulation" to become entirely undetectable to those without mental defenses and inflict lasting compulsions on victims or even read and manipulate memories. Her awareness of the Force is nothing less than prodigal, displaying a casual ease with telekinesis that shames even the most proficient Jedi Knights and more than a few Masters. Her mastery of telekinesis is so great she can lift and restrain entire Star Destroyers, her fine control surgical and no less potent, to such a degree that she has been able to channel it in a tactile manner that allows her to perceive her surroundings without any of her biological senses. She makes extremely heavy use of her telekinesis, even in pitched lightsaber combat, using it to batter and dominate her opponents. As remaining hidden was a core component of her early Sith training, Sinnali displays a similar skill to Sidious in concealing her nature as a Dark Side user when necessary, not only shielding her mind and Force signature, but able to project a falsified state for both. She is even capable of casting an illusion over herself to occasionally conceal the signs of Dark side overuse.

She is a dirty fighter, proficient in Form 7, 2 and 3, who engages in such tactics as strategically shutting off and reigniting her lightsaber for an edge. While she is certainly an excellent master of the blade, compared to true masters, she lags behind and compensates with her skill in combat precognition. She is far more proficient in raw Force manipulation, preferring to defeat her opponents without ever having to ignite her saber, whether that be with honeyed words or terrifying might in the Force. She is capable of creating fairly strong Force lightning, but it's not her specialty. By contrast, she is quite proficient at absorbing or deflecting Force lightning and other energies. Through her studies of Plageuis's research, she is capable of manipulating Midi-Chlorians to some degree, mostly using it to enhance her healing abilities, which have thus-far allowed her to get away from Sidious's training sessions without lasting scars. She is capable of Battle Meditation in both variants, using the Ionize technique, and is even capable of deflecting lightsabers with her bare hands.

On the more mundane end, she is an able slicer/hacker and able to program droids and AI. She is fully capable of constructing from scratch several notable technologies, including all the components required to make a lightsaber from nothing.

Unique Technology: Ion Cannons

A pair of gigantic cannons several hundred meters in diameter, with one fitted upon both the port and starboard sides of the ship, they are charged with plasma rotors and fire a focused and directed ionic pulse, completely neutralizing the power systems of nearly any technology -particularly warships in original intent- unfortunate enough to be caught in the way, leaving them without deflector shields, weapons or communications. Each cannon needs a significant cool-down period after each shot, to let ionized particles be cleaned out of the cannon before the next firing sequence.

Crew Size: 25,350 (minimum/operational crew: 900, mostly located in the spire-like command bridge)
Passenger Size: 60,000 droids.
Cargo Capacity: 13,000 tons.
Cargo Handling Systems: Rail jet transportation system
Consumables: 2 years.
Faction/Operator/Owner: Confederacy of Independent Systems/Separatists, Supreme Commander of the Droid Armies, General Grievous, Darth Sinnali.

The Malevolence

Star Wars Invasion [A Multiverse Spaceship RP]

I've refined this a bit, so timeline-wise, this is actually the second Malevolence that was being constructed at Pammant Docks in 21 BBY. It would have normally been destroyed by the intervention of an unknown Jedi Knight (the player character of one star wars game), but in this universe, that Jedi is thwarted and slain by the Sith that now commands this ship, Darth Sinnali. Because of Grievous losing the first Malevolence and Sinnali's intervention, she is instead assigned to command the ship. Grievous ostensibly has the greatest authority (and does even in regard to the Droid Army as a whole), but the true commander of this vessel in particular is Sinnali, who is there to act as a competent Force adept that can thwart Jedi sabotage/shenanigans and -more importantly in some ways- reign in Grevious's temper and counterbalance any irrationality his frothing hatred for Jedi might elicit.

History of the Ship:

The Confederate Navy's most powerful battleship class, engineered by the Free Dac Volunteers Engineering Corps, it has some design similarities to both the Providence-class carrier/destroyer and the Recusant-class light destroyer, but is almost as large as five Venator-class Star Destroyers. The class is based around its ion pulse cannons, a weapons system not used on board any other warship class, due to its unique power-generation needs. Despite its status as the Confederacy's most powerful battleship design, eclipsing pre-war models like the Lucrehulk-class, the model is classified as a heavy cruiser and is one of the largest designs that has come from the Confederate shipyards.

The ship sports an advanced sensor array and navigation computer, which are capable of calculating courses around objects that are too large for the Malevolence to perform a hyperspace jump through. The Malevolence also possesses sensor jammers that are capable of preventing enemies from sending out transmissions, such as the communications systems of Venator-class Star Destroyers. Furthermore, the Malevolence is also equipped with stabilizers, as well its own communications systems that can sustain a transmission while moving through hyperspace and is capable of sending transmissions to other areas of its interior. It also retains scanners that have the capability of detecting any sources of power, such as nearby vessels and droids. The security systems -among other things- have been further enhanced and made redundant to prevent the sort of sabotage that ended its predecessor. It also sports a Class 1 hyperdrive, a further improvement over the original Class 2.

The fourth of its class to be built, the Malevolence II is an improved reconstruction of the flagship once lost to General Grievous. Constructed at Pammant Docks under the supervision of Grievous, the Malevolence was almost slain in the womb by the interference of a Jedi Knight, who managed to overcome all of the defenses arrayed against them through what can only be called the will of the Force. The fortunate intervention of Darth Sinnali saw the Jedi thwarted and slain, however, leading to the successful completion and launch of the revived superweapon. As a reward for her actions and simultaneous punishment to Grievous (both for losing the original Malevolence and for losing the second if not for Sinnali's intervention), Sinnali was assigned as the Commander of the Vessel, superseding even Grievous's authority. And together, they went a bit hog wild, becoming a terror of the Republic. Under Sinnali's advice, the threat of the Malevolence was vastly magnified by its inclusion in a proper fleet formation, no longer simply relying on its strength alone and risking it being surrounded and gunned down again.

Notable Crew: General Grievous, OOM Command Battle Droid, Darth Sinnali.

Darth Sinnali

True Name: Unknown/Discarded
Alias: Darth Sinnali
Profession: Secretary in the Republic Senate, Sith Apprentice, Separatist General
Age: 26

Appearance:

A young woman of pale skin and jet-black shoulder-length hair, Sinnali cuts a distinctive figure with her black and grey Sith robes and hooded cloak. Perhaps her most notable feature is the large black blindfold that obscures her upper face from the bridge of her nose to the edge of her hairline. Despite seeming like she should be blinded, Sinnali appears to have no trouble operating as normal in any respect, be it mundane or combat. True to her Sith nature, her lightsaber thrums a vivid crimson when ignited; though her backup saber hums a royal purple. Should her mask be removed, behind it can be found deep blue eyes that are often bled a molten gold from the Dark Side when not concealing her nature.

Personality:

As far as Sith go, Sinnali is almost unnervingly well-composed. A smile is never far from her lips, nor a polite greeting... so long as she is afforded the same. She can be snarky, even liable to run her mouth to playfully needle people, and an air of easy comradery tends to follow her, treating others on an individual meritocratic basis. Despite her youth and enjoyment of a good fight, she is no hot-blooded fool. Sinnali's fury burns cold... when it burns at all. She seems to take after Count Dooku in her usage of the Dark Side of the Force; though her personal stance is yet further divorced from his or even Sidious's. To Sinnali, there is nothing more worth pursuing than freedom, and freedom requires power. Extending from that, "Power is Power" is her straightforward motto, one that leads her to shun neither the Light nor the Dark, despite being inclined to the latter. She believes in personal balance, and she interprets true balance in the Force to be the mastery of both sides of it, her boundless hunger for power and curiosity having ironically inadvertedly kept her from falling into the depths of depravity so many Sith have before her.

To this effect, time has healed some wounds. While she believes the Jedi are blind fools, she does not inherently despise them as a whole any longer, nor particularly share Sidious's dream of destroying them. In fact, one might even go as far as to say she'd regret seeing the Jedi wiped out and would be perfectly willing to coexist with them peacefully if the opportunity presented itself. That said, while she can be cordial and objective, she can also be equally ruthless, even sadistically cruel towards those that offend her. Despite her default state, it is important to never forget that she is most certainly not any less a Sith for her oddities... and is, in fact, perhaps all the more dangerous for them. Her extremely fine control of her emotions and how they interact with the Force mean she can go from zero to a hundred and back almost entirely without warning, and the disarming charm she has partially inherited from Sidious's teachings make her an incredibly proficient social navigator with a silver tongue that has changed the course of her Galaxy. She is a self-interested manipulator at heart, who knows exactly what kind of monster Sidious is and does his bidding with an easy affability, morals be damned.

Of course, the convenient caveat to this for our protagonists is that she certainly doesn't see any reason why she should owe the local Sidious anything. Whatever she and her Grievous's personal feelings on the matter, they owe the local Separatists no allegiance, even if pretending otherwise under the right circumstances could be useful. It's nothing personal, but from an objective standpoint, defeating the Replicators is only common sense to snuff a threat that might spread back to their world.

Bio:

In another place and time, Darth Sidious would do a bit more than cackle quietly over Count Dooku's indiscretions in training powerful "assassins". To make sure Dooku understood how replaceable he truly was if push came to shove, Sidious took on an "assassin" of his own, a former Jedi youngling. From a young age, Sinnali had possessed a gift for vivid Force visions and -resultingly- an unnatural intellect and emotional development for her age. As such, when she was unwillingly recruited into the Jedi Order by Master Pong Krell, she developed a deep and abiding grudge for her circumstances and -in many ways- sought to defy the Jedi out of spite. Her unusual emotional development made her harder to indoctrinate in the Jedi ways, and more damningly -when her hunger for all knowledge was accounted for, it made her very attracted to the Dark side. Not just because she wanted to learn everything, no matter if it was "Light" or "Dark", but because telling a child that despises you not to do something will always naturally make them want to do it more. Her unsuitability as a Jedi was clear enough that there was a true risk she would never be a Padawan, but before she could be sent to the Agricultural Corps, Sinnali fled the order entirely, all her possessions in tow.

It didn't take a watchful Sidious much effort at all to bring the power-hungry girl into the fold. And so, with a new name soon after bestowed by the Dark Side, Darth Sinnali became a very different sort of apprentice than others Sidious had trained before. It was made clear from the start that Sinnali was only useful as long as she was threatening Dooku's position, but her training accounted for the fact that she could never match him in the ways he specialized. Instead, where Tyrannus was Sidious's arm abroad, Sinnali was his tool at home, her skillset that of honeyed words and creeping mental influence. She was his voice in the dark and puppet strings upon the Republic Senate, helping him to consolidate power through coercion, bribery, assassination and fear, weaving a web among the courts to sow the seeds for the Galactic Empire.

In time, Sinnali would be put to work in matters abroad to expand her horizons, during which time she would then become involved in the Clone Wars and acquainted with Sidious's inner circle, including Dooku and Grievous. She would also be set to the task of hunting down lost Sith and Jedi lore and artifacts, which would eventually lead to her becoming acquainted with the works of Sidious's own late Master, Darth Plagueis, an eventuality that would begin Sinnali's development as a true Sith. Her forays in distant places would eventually culminate in her thwarting the near successful destruction of the rebuilt Malevolence at Pammant Docks and subsequently being assigned to command it and preside over General Grievous as the acting commander for the vessel.

Though she acknowledged Grievous's superior experience in vessel command and usually left everything to him, there was no mistake going forward that she was meant to temper him and foil any Force-driven interference from the likes of the Jedi. In practice, Sinnali's honeyed words and willingness to take a backseat mean that she and Grievous shared approximately equal authority, and both could at least begrudgingly respect the other. For that reason, Grievous grew less recalcitrant to accept her strategic suggestions or to change course when Sinnali did have to exercise her authority over him. Grievous was acknowledged the tactical superior, commanding battles from the top with occasional advice from Sinnali, and Sinnali was the "face" of the crew, taking the lead in social situations. Certainly, this was helped no small degree by Sinnali using the Force to slowly work the general over to her way of thinking in some respects, acting as an impromptu secret "therapist" to address the hatred and overconfidence that were his greatest weaknesses as a commander. By the present day, their working relationship is objectively young but surprisingly firm, enough so that when Daniel Jackson came calling, Sinnali was able to convince Grievous to stomach aiding the Republic -even if it was just an alternate version of it.

Skills:

Sinnali's most refined skills lean towards the mental and telekinetic. She is an able manipulator of minds on either individual or mass scale, able to use a form of "perception manipulation" to become entirely undetectable to those without mental defenses and inflict lasting compulsions on victims or even read and manipulate memories. Her awareness of the Force is nothing less than prodigal, displaying a casual ease with telekinesis that shames even the most proficient Jedi Knights and more than a few Masters. Her mastery of telekinesis is so great she can lift and restrain entire Star Destroyers, her fine control surgical no less potent, to such a degree that she has been able to channel it in a tactile manner that allows her to perceive her surroundings without any of her biological senses. She makes extremely heavy use of her telekinesis, even in pitched lightsaber combat, using it to batter and dominate her opponents. As remaining hidden was a core component of her early Sith training, Sinnali displays a similar skill to Sidious in concealing her nature as a Dark Side user when necessary, not only shielding her mind and Force signature, but able to project a falsified state for both. She is even capable of casting an illusion over herself to occasionally conceal the signs of Dark side overuse.

She is a dirty fighter, proficient in Form 7, 2 and 3, who engages in such tactics as strategically shutting off and reigniting her lightsaber for an edge. While she is certainly an excellent master of the blade, compared to true masters, she lags behind and compensates with her skill in combat precognition. She is far more proficient in raw Force manipulation, preferring to defeat her opponents without ever having to ignite her saber, whether that be with honeyed words or terrifying might in the Force. She is capable of creating fairly strong Force lightning, but it's not her specialty. By contrast, she is quite proficient at absorbing or deflecting Force lightning and other energies. Through her studies of Plageuis's research, she is capable of manipulating Midi-Chlorians to some degree, mostly using it to enhance her healing abilities, which have thus-far allowed her to get away from Sidious's training sessions without lasting scars. She is capable of Battle Meditation in both variants, using the Ionize technique, and is even capable of deflecting lightsabers with her bare hands.

On the more mundane end, she is an able slicer/hacker and able to program droids and AI. She is fully capable of constructing from scratch several notable technologies, including all the components required to make a lightsaber from nothing.

Unique Technology: Ion Cannons

A pair of gigantic cannons several hundred meters in diameter, with one fitted upon both the port and starboard sides of the ship, they are charged with plasma rotors and fire a focused and directed ionic pulse, completely neutralizing the power systems of nearly any technology -particularly warships in original intent- unfortunate enough to be caught in the way, leaving them without deflector shields, weapons or comunications. Each cannon needs a significant cool-down period after each shot, to let ionized particles be cleaned out of the cannon before the next firing sequence.

Crew Size: 25,350 (minimum crew: 900, usually located in the spire-like command bridge)
Passenger Size: 60,000 droids.
Cargo Capacity: 13,000 tons.
Cargo Handling Systems: Rail jet transportation system
Consumables: 2 years.
Faction/Operator/Owner: Confederacy of Independent Systems/Separatists, Supreme Commander of the Droid Armies, General Grievous, Darth Sinnali.

The Malevolence

D&D Isekai: Render Unto Them A New World

But what do you guys think? And do you think we should keep track of individual spells or just say the characters have proficiency with different types of magic and Character Level just denotes how good they are at it? From a narrative standpoint, there could still be arcane runes and scripts for spells and incantations, but when writing the battle scenes out, we could just describe the magical effect being created rather than keeping track of individual spell names and such.

@CaptainManbeard

I don't know about everyone else, but for my own part, I was planning to keep track of individual spells. Not going as far as incantations for them, granted, but certainly keeping track of each individual spell Malcer is capable of and making specific mention ICly when he is researching a new spell before it gets used in a later battle or other scenario. And when it comes to proficiency, I'm planning to move Malcer's capacity in the various "Circles" of magic (1-9 and such) according to 5e access to those tiers. So, at level 3, he'll start breaking out the second tier magic, and at 5th level, 3rd tier and so on. When it actually comes to using the spells in practice, however, I'll probably only describe the effect occurring.

D&D Isekai: Render Unto Them A New World

Oh man, I can't stop laughing as I envision that opening scene. It will open right at their arrival to the cave, and then flash back to the antique store and over a few rounds of posts we can work our way back to the moment in the cave.

@CaptainManbeard

The characters watch in dead silence, as the child's screams slowly get more distant, echoing back into the cave.

Malcer: "Should... we be concerned?"

D&D Isekai: Render Unto Them A New World

Hmmm... To give them a little bit of that "starter boost" you mentioned, I'm thinking maybe we rework the initial origin idea some. Hmmm... Maybe the day before our characters go to Six Flags, they are checking out a mysterious old antique shop and are drawn to the items that become their Soul Conduits. The old shopkeeper is like "interesting that you should choose these items in particular..." That night, they each have a dream of their Soul Conduits' previous owners first learning about their own abilities, though they initially forget this shortly after waking.

@CaptainManbeard

Lmao, the mysterious shopkeeper and their store of sus items is a trope I forgot I liked so much. Really brings me back. I definitely like the "dream training" as a way to explain their initial leg up, given they got a crash course.

<Snipped quote by Lewascan2>
Later that day, they are at Six Flags and go on the roller coaster and get Isekai'd like previous discussed. While they are flying through the tunnel of lights, they each notice their Soul Conduit materialize next to them in transit. They crash down onto the beach outside a small fishing village and suddenly recall the dreams they all had the previous night, which gives them a slight bit of knowledge about their new abilities.

In this new origin idea, they start out with no idea how the items got to Earth, but they suspect the shopkeeper must have known more than he let on. Perhaps some of them believe the items marked them for death. With no idea where they are (beyond the information learned from the dreams), they head into the village and try to formulate some kind of plan what to do. Similar to the Wizard of Oz plot, perhaps there is some great wise sage a few towns over who is said to discern peoples' destinies. Perhaps they decide to head there first to see if they can learn more about their situation.

What do you think?

@CaptainManbeard

As for their initial arrival destination, either this or the original work just fine. I like both!

D&D Isekai: Render Unto Them A New World

<Snipped quote by Lewascan2>

You could say at the beginning, the book has mostly blank pages and then the invisible ink gradually reveals itself as he levels up. Or maybe the book just magically grows new pages as he unlocks new spells from the grimoire or learns them from out in the world and copies the script. Also, feel free to spread your wings a little with magical abilities, since we're ending up with a little more freeform approach, I'm not gonna force anyone into the confines of any one class. For my evil wizard guy I was considering, I may fuse elements of Warlock into him as well and give his grimoire a living eye on the cover or something. We'll see.

@CaptainManbeard

One way I also imagined it manifesting is that he's got all this blank space to fill up and does so himself. Like, consider that the first (highly expansive) part of the book is dedicated to education and walks you through everything you need to know one chapter at a time, and then when he learns stuff, it's up to him to actually successfully craft the spells and add them to his capabilities in the ever-growing spells section that takes up the rest of the book (and probably just grows new pages when needed). Depending on how intuitive this is, I assume the PCs all get a "starter boost", so he probably has a few spells he already knows right out the gate maybe, but going forward, most of the work is on his shoulders to actually be dedicated to the path of the Wizard. And yeah, with that go ahead, I think I'm definitely going to spread out his abilities to have him use necromancy for healing whenever he isn't poking the secrets to conventional healing magic. :)

Star Wars Invasion [A Multiverse Spaceship RP]

So long as you're prepared for the complications that'll bring storywise I'm all for it

@Sep

Sweet, lol. But yeah, I’m expecting the Malevolence’s appearance in Republic Space to be something of a brown pants moment for both sides of equation. Depending on where in the timeline this universe is (pre or post Malevolence), things could be more or less simple. Probably the biggest thing that can help quell potential hostilities is the fact that letting the Replicators go free os hardly in the Separatists’ favor either, and if this is post-Malevolence, people will know that ship shouldn’t exist still, so that will be a good way to sell that, yeah, this isn’t business as usual.

But overall, yes, I expect complications will be inherent and probably funny. I especially look forward to the Jedi reaction to a Sith that isn't pathologically obsessed with killing them... not that the Sith will probably receive the same courtesy without some level heads acting as first contact. To say nothing of Grevious's presence and his entire cargo bay of issues. XD
