[OOC] Log Horizon: Western Europe

[Jangel13]

@Kimono
yes your back! theirs a horde of legion type vampires coming to the city. I gave you breakfast in bed before leaving to go join the fight

[Ashifili]

That being said, why is Silver heading out? Or is he no longer level 20ish?

[OwO]

@Ashifili

He is.

Granted it's not going to go well for him, but if he does manage to survive and steal some kills, that's a whole load of power leveling.

[Ashifili]

Got bored. Made this. Distribution will probably be 70% Ghouls, 20% Thralls, 10% Bloodletters.

Ghoul

Level: 50-60
Weakness: Holy/Fire Magical
Resistance: Blunt Physical
Abilities:
Vampiric Regeneration – Attacks heal for a set amount. Killing heals a large amount.
Brutal Bite – Melee attack that does physical piercing damage, and Bleed DoT.
Maddening – The more damage they take, the faster they become.
Cannibalism – Can heal Vampires by reducing own HP.

Attack Pattern: Ghouls are stupid, angry things. Without a leader, they’re just a disorganized mob of monsters that can only melee.
Description: The unlucky humans who survived the transformation into a vampire, but didn’t quite make it there. Losing their mind in the process, they shamble about, hungering for blood, obeying only the most basic instincts. In vampire hierarchy, they are at the very, very bottom.

Stats: 14
STR – 5 (A)
AGI – 2 (D)
INT – 0 (F)
WIS – 0 (F)
DEF – 4 (B)
EVA – 3 (C)

Vampire Thrall

Level: 65-75
Weakness: Holy Magical
Resistance: Fire Magical
Abilities:
Vampiric Regeneration – Attacks heal for a set amount. Killing heals a large amount.
Brutal Bite – Melee attack that does physical piercing damage and Bleed DoT.
Artery Sever – Melee attack that does physical slashing damage and Bleed DoT.
Nightmare Claw – Ranged attack that does physical slashing damage. Has a cone-like AOE and inflicts Bleed DoT on those that lose more than 10% of their HP from it.
Bloodlust – Increases STR and AGI by the amount of enemies that have Bleed DoT.
Shadowdash – Teleports from one shadow to another.

Attack Pattern: Thralls are assholes that backdoor with Shadowdash, before using Nightmare Claw on the squishies to gain obscene amounts of Bloodlust bonuses for literally all of them. They’re easily shut down if a healer has a DoT removal ability, and aren’t quite as useful against tankier players, but many parties have been wiped because of Bloodlust shenanigans.
Description: Thralls serve under Vampire nobility, and are generally considered to not have any significant amount of magical power. They are, however, the most common of the Vampire race, and serve as the footsoldiers of others. The elite Thralls have been known to ascend to knighthood, but those are rare occasions.

Stats: 18
STR – 4 (B)
AGI – 4 (B)
INT – 2 (D)
WIS – 0 (F)
DEF – 3 (C)
EVA – 5 (A)

Vampire Bloodletter

Level: 80-90
Weakness: Holy Magical, Piercing Physical
Resistance: Water/Ice/Wind/Fire Magical

Abilities:
Vampiric Transfusion – Attacks heal for a set amount. Killing heals a large amount. Can heal allies instead of themselves with this.
Blood for Blood – Sacrifice HP in order to boost the damage of all attacks.
Shadowdash – Teleports from one shadow to another.
Sanguine Rain – AOE spell that causes a rain of blood, dealing Unholy magical damage. Has a small chance of inflicting Bleed DoT.
Blood Spike – Single target spell that fires off a spike of blood in a direction, dealing Unholy magical damage. Inflicts Bleed DoT. Does bonus damage based off target’s missing health.
Heart Crush – Melee attack that does true damage. If it deals more than 10% of the target’s health, they are Stunned for five seconds.
Martyrdom – By sacrificing all of its remaining HP, the Bloodletter deals Unholy magical damage based off how much was sacrificed, as well as inflicting Bleed on all that were hit by it.

Attack Pattern: Backliners that support the Thralls, Bloodletters are quite squishy and have a lesser range than most other long-range mobs, but make up for it with their ability to Shadowdash to safety. When half of the Thralls and Ghouls are annihilated, they are generally known to start using Shadowdash and Martyrdom in order to do some damage to the player’s backline in turn.
Description: Bloodletters are a step above a Thrall, generally coming from magically-inclined races that have been turned. With their powers over blood, the quintessential element of ‘life’ for the unholy undead, they are favored pets of the vampire aristocracy, often rising up the social hierarchy to become the next generation of nobles.

Stats: 22
STR – 2 (D)
AGI – 3 (C)
INT – 6 (S)
WIS – 5 (A)
DEF – 2 (D)
EVA – 2 (D)

@Jangel13

A Level 15 Assassin DPS should be decent up to ~3x your level, with Assassinate as a finishing blow. The real problem is your hit rate, so you have to attack debuffed enemies with low Evasion.

[Jangel13]

True but I'm level 20 not 15 and like I said the tracks in the group will help with that. I go in take my shot then go back into rank before doing it again. Like switching

[Kimono]

Yep, im back. But to be honest, I've kind lost the interest and the motivation. Sorry guys.

[Jangel13]

Well that means I have no guild or mistress, a job hunting I go then

[Amaterasu]

That gets me wondering, since healing skills damage vampires, would they be considered light/holy damage? _{Yes pls or else Eclair doesn't stand a chance.}

[Ashifili]

Wait, where was that stated? That healing vampires with magic damaged them?

[OwO]

Test it in combat. 50/50 chance whether it heals or damages. Be sure to heal the biggest baddest thing you can find.

[Aurrorian]

@SilverDawn In DnD the Cure spells can also damage undead, lol. Technically called positive damage, like Inflict spells deal negative damage but heal undead as well.

[Amaterasu]

Erm, under the Vampire subclass, this description was written so I kind of assumed it applied to Vampire type monsters:
"Healing spells do not heal vampires, and will instead damage them."

But if it's gonna be 50/50, eh, won't risk it.

[OwO]

The next GM post advancing the plot will be some time tomorrow (most likely midday PST), so if you haven't posted and don't want to play the catch up game, you should post now.

[NarcissisticPotato]

Are these vampires NPCs (gaming term) or actual players? As in, would they be open to negotiation? :3

[Suku]

is this still open? if so can I join?

[Jangel13]

@Suku
Hey suku :)

[OwO]

is this still open? if so can I join?

@Suku

Aye. It is.

@NarcissisticPotato

NPCs. They're mindless. Usually.

[Suku]

@Jangel13hey Jangel how you been?

@SilverDawnsince it's open would it be ok for me to create a char sheet? and is there anything I should know about?
