The Lion's Roar: New Order

I understood, I was just looking at the numbers a different way. I like percentages.

@Stormlight3

Fair enough

The Lion's Roar: New Order

I meant it as a ratio, meaning that if there were 10 level 1 swordsmen, there'd be 990 normal plebs.

1:100
10:1000

1000 - 10 = 990

Sorry if that was a little unclear :P

The Lion's Roar: New Order

Ok, since I'm bored, I did some maths.

By my calculations, as the levels on your advantages advance, the ratio of people with that level of talent to the number of people without that level increase in alternating degrees of 100 and 10 (in terms of sword at least); like so:

Level 0 = 1 in 1 (kind of)
Level 1 = 1 in 100 (*100)
Level 2 = 1 in 1,000 (*10)
Level 3 = 1 in 100,000 (*100)
Level 4 = 1 in 1,000,000 (*10)
Level 5 = 1 in 100,000,000 (*100)

So following this pattern, I figured that the later levels would look like this:

Level 6 = 1 in 1,000,000,000 (*10)
Level 7 = 1 in 100,000,000,000 (*100)
Level 8 = 1 in 1,000,000,000,000 (*10)
Level 9 = 1 in 100,000,000,000,000 (*100)
Level 10 = 1 in 1,000,000,000,000,000 (*10)

Apparently, the total amount of homo sapiens (humans) who have ever lived on the planet earth is around 108 billion (according to the Population Reference Bureau, apparently), meaning a level 7 swordsman almost has more talent than anyone who ever lived in modern time, and a level 10 swordsman has a talent in swords of 1 in over 9000 times the amount of people that have ever lived in the modern world, meaning that kind of talent will practically never be seen again.

gg everyone, correct me if I'm wrong.

The Lion's Roar: New Order

Alright, I added a bit to Gilbert's backstory. I realised that his strength was now ridiculous as hell so I added a bit. Now Gil one-hands his greatsword! :D

The Lion's Roar: New Order

"They say that Mords aren't as cheerful as me, and that's kind of true, but I figure everyone should just lighten up a little."

::GENERAL INFO::

Name: Gilbert
Age: 29
Gender: Male
Race: Mord
Element: Fire
Background: Gilbert’s pretty friendly for a Mord. He was, always has been, and for the foreseeable future will continue to be the friendliest Mord one can meet, which isn’t that hard considering the fact that Mords aren’t exactly the most sociable people in the world.

Being raised in the underground homes of the Mords gave him a more ‘philosophical’ outlook on the state of his body and he figured that there were too many miserable people in the world already. As a result, he tries to lighten the mood a lot and he likes to laugh. He talks far more than normal Mords and is generally brighter. It works somewhat, despite being a 2.5 meter tall metal-bound colossus with a massive greatsword.

Due to his strength, Gilbert was taught to fight at a young age. He was taught one-handed and two-handed sword skills but he felt like all the swords weren't heavy enough and went out into the world to find something more satisfying. He got a blacksmith to build him a really big sword and found it to be just right.

At age 24, Gilbert went out into the world and signed up for the Vukodavs and went around killing stuff for money. Then, 5 years later, he left. He found out he didn’t really like killing stuff for money and instead went on a self-discovery journey (still killing stuff but for free this time) to see the world and become strong.

::ADVANTAGES::

Level 1 Swordsmanship: It’s not like Gilbert’s amazing at swordplay, but he swings around a heavy greatsword with bit of grace, so he’s actually pretty good. He’s better than your average greatsword thickie, basically. It's kind of a one-handed sword style, but it incorporates two-handed sword techniques.

Level 4 Strength: Gilbert’s really strong. Strong enough to hold his big-ass greatsword in one hand.

Level 1 Agility: Gilbert’s also pretty fast and can do backflips and stuff. He’s also pretty dextrous.

Level 2 Endurance: Gil’s pretty tanky too. He’s got quite good stamina and can take a lot of hits.

Might: Physical boost advantages are counted as 2 levels higher for Mords.

Magic resist: Using the power of Mord fabulousness armour, Mords can resist magical effects below level 4 (level 3 for Eredvars). But due to their badassity magic resisting armour, they can't use magic.

Oh, and if you’re wondering about his big sword,

Here it is.

It’s the buster sword.

The Lion's Roar: New Order

Woops, did I post my CS in the wrong area? I'm still new to the way things are done on this website.

@Stormlight3

Yeah, put it in the characters tab

The Lion's Roar

@Lord Santa Just for fun, really. Nothing against you bud. Your race is just pretty badass so we wanted to see what could actually kill these amazing creatures. Not like we'd actually go through with it...

@Desire

Don't worry, it's all good

Can we shove a blade or an arrow through the eyeholes in their helms? Splatter their brains (probably very hard to do)

@Stormlight3

According to race description, their brain might not even be in their head, but that might work? Probably need a ballista for it.

The Lion's Roar

@Desire Yeah, I saw that later

@Hexaflexagon That might work, but like Medjedovic said, why are we trying to figure out how to kill them?

Also, lightning might work to electrocute them to death. And poison might work if you got it into their flesh

The Lion's Roar

@Medjedovic

I changed some of Shara's advantages to less combat-related ones. Removed acrobatics and blade fighting in favor of Charisma and Intellect. I hope those will be applicable? Shara

@Aphelion

If my calculations are correct, you've only used 7 points for your advantages, and you should have a few more because your character is an Oxidal.

Edit: Nevermind.

I don't really mind either. Got a lot of free time now
