Some people need to make a hard choice when deciding which two karaoke streams they want to listen to. I have no such weakness: I have two ears for a reason.

The hard part about trying to play some politically savvy mastermind is the assumption that the world operates off real world politics and not your DM’s politics.

Don't put too much stock in prophesies. At best they're full of shit, but more often than not they're one of those self-fullilling kinds. Plan for what happens afterwards instead.

A character isn't deep or compelling just because you let them get hurt a lot, are always depressed, or do morally questionable things.

Bio



If you're here either you're wondering what I'm doing cause I need to post in your RP (In which case, calm yo tits, I'll get around to it), or you want to know who I am. So let's begin.

I'm a college age asian kid who has more heart than he has senses. I'm still working out this whole "adulthood" thing, so until then I just do what I feel I must. As far as personality and traits go, I'm not one for boasting. So if there's anything redeeming about myself you'd have to figure it out in person or by word-of-mouth. Generally however I'm rather perverted, in the best and worst ways. nothing is too much until I've crossed the line, and that just means I've started.

As far as Roleplays I like, I have a thing for fantasy, though I'm also good for some types of sci-fi, supernatural, Modern, and slice-of-life. If it's open and sandbox, I'll probably join it. Never really been a romantic, I often chose to sexualize any notion of romantic encounters I come across. I generally write at Casual quality, though I have no issues with Free-Level Rp/Players and I can hold my own in Advance.

Incidentally, it also got me thinking about an "Invisible" sword concept, where you basically have a regular weapon but it's invisible. Only you can see it but others can't, which can be like, you have advantage on attacks against them because they can't see your weapon and know how to gauge distance or if it's an axe or a sword. Or if you're just holding a spear in a very awkward fashion. But this works better on a cinematic level than one like RPing.

Either way works. It adapts to the user so the less they seem confused about it, the easier it is to work with.

Ooooh, fascinating stuff. Reminds me of the civil war from Skyrim, cept with Skyrim actually succeeding from the empire. I’m not sure how Orchid would feel politically. I think on one hand, she thinks a United Empire would be stronger against the threats surrounding them, but at the same time she doesn’t approve of the empire’s oppression and current government. Verily, the Luna Sea likely operate within Novus precisely to avoid the iron fist observation of the empire, but at the same time Orchid probably isn’t too confident in Novus’ ability to stand as its own nation. Militaristically it can go toe-to-toe with the Veteris, but it still probably suffers from vast infrastructural issues and the various Noble houses Looking to capitalize on the regimen change.

Ultimately I think Orchid’s goal would be the Magical Maginesium. They seem more open for outsiders like Orchid to come and learn, as she doesn’t want to become beholden the a state just to access the archives in Veteris.

@Dark Light

“Magic” to put it simply. But for your specific instance previous details that went entirely absent become applicable, at least until the spell ends or the user chooses to utilize them “normally”.

The tension of a crossbow is indeed where all of the damage comes from, and crossbows that aren’t made with extensive mechanical systems still require much strength to operate. Perhaps not as much as say, a bow, but certainly not as simple as “load arrow, aim, shoot” that most people assume with crossbows. Also crossbows do have recoil, something most everyone neglects to notice or remember. So a strength based crossbow will be one that utilizes magic to draw out more force from a weapon but requires actual more physical exertion from its user, with an equally notable more recoil from the weapon. And unlike your usual range weapon woth the implication that you’re aiming your bolt towards a weak point in the enemy’s armor, the crossbow bolt will instead be launch with sheer penetrative force.

Effectively gives a knife a sort of light saber whip effect. If that seems confusing congratulations, that is exactly how such a spell can often befuddle an opponent who doesn’t know what the spell is, or even an ally who isn’t used to having their weapon capable of such a thing. After all most people are not designed around the abilities this spell can provide.

Conversely a reach weapon will end up shorten. Whips will be little more than a floppy club, and most polearms basically become a slightly weaker greataxe or particularly heavy spear in the case of the pike.

Light weapons who lose their light property become balanced very differently in a notable way to reflect whatever their new property would be. A dagger that loses its light property for reach is still one pound, but now it’s entire weight is being distributed on a weapon as long as a whip without nearly the same level of design or balancing, making it unwieldy for your usual two-weapon purposes despite no effective change in weight. Conversely, replacing a feature like say, the two-handed feature for the halberd first the light feature, still makes the halberd the same weight as before. In this instance the magic of the spell will being doing most of the work to make the weapon “feel” balanced for one-handed use, which again can be awkward for people who aren’t used to it but not to the point they suddenly lose proficiency.

What is actually happening is simply magic. I created this spell because the alternative of simply reintroducing things like compound bows or long spears meant to be used with shields have so far never been accepted whenever I propose them, despite whatever evidence that exist in real life which support them. “It uses magic” has so far been easier to approve of these basic weapon variants since the implications that surely these weapons don’t exist normally in these worlds, and if they do they’re not meant for players to utilize, otherwise they’re be ground breaking inventions that changes the whole meta, or other similar knee-jerk reactions to the established setting.

A guy with a eight-foot long spear and a shield goes back further than medieval times all the way to the classical era to the point most people associate that style with any Greek warrior who isn’t simply Hercules himself, but by raw mechanics that’s impossible for any player to replicate in game barring the divine intervention known as “homebrew”. Hell its easier to be Hercules, a demigod of Zeus, than it is to be a Spartan Warrior with a big shield and a long spear.

Every elf and their mothers have a dexterity bonus and an inexplicable talent to use a longbow, but rarely would any of them also have the fucked up skeletal and muscular structure real human longbow men had due to all of the core strength they’re practically raised to have in order to make the most out of those weapons, with the only explanation being “they’re elves” and “longbows use dexterity not strength”.

Yeyo, I be here. I don't mind a discord OOC!

Edit: By the way, what are we doing for stats? I would prefer point buy tbh, dice is a bit too random and standard array is boring.

Ashbrand, seeing you fail to slay the octopus, will shout at you and call you a twiggy landlubber and expects better of you. He uses his Shape Up, Ye Dog ability to let Caeda reroll her attack!

Whoaha! I have finished my CS! I choose Half-Orc (Mark of Finder) and became an Artificer! Hamm seemed to know his way around tech so I figured this would work best. I even wrote up a quasi backstory for him, though tbh the real Hamm ain't nothing like what I wrote. But I figured this would fit in this new world considering his talents and persona as Evil Dr. Porkchop (Not a real doctor!).
