I'll post when in the bar then, not sure what to post before that.

Phantasm

@Smystar99 I concur, but I trust that petal will be able to come up with a suitable solution come dawn. Meanwhile, we might as well simply look forward to the start at last!

Phantasm

Is there a way to continue while waiting for sterling? Like she might travel there and end up at another location, needing time to find us?

Phantasm

@Sterling Tell her to have a speedy recovery! We understand when such things happen, go on to visit her without worries. :).

Phantasm

@Smystar99 Her speed and agility is freaking high! I imagine much of Gwyn's time is spent trying to help her with his Touch spells while she zips around like a madwoman. XD.

"Nuuuhhh~ staahhp!! *mumbles* The one time I want to help ...oh life is so pointless. *goes to a corner and moans* :(."

@Fetzen Indeed, getting stabby stabbied may make me loose my health. BUT AT LEAST I STAND MY GROUND AND EARN MANLINESS POINTS! XD.

Phantasm

...r do you have so gross motor skills that you can only switch between 'not shaking another person's hand at all' and 'crush all bones in it until the blood comes seeping out between your fingers'.

@Fetzen

Why do you think rich ladies wear really fugly rings that are sharp enough to poke an eye out? To protect against these guys in "Meet and Greet" sessions, of course. (True story!)

@Smystar99 I had the same issue, going to switch the places of agility and speed now.

Phantasm

@auspiciousPetal Why ty! :). I changed Gwyn's stats to +1 Intelligence and +1 to endurance, because now it's exactly 45 points total. (He was suprisingly at 43 even though I gave him such bad stats.)

I'd also like to know what @Fetzen said, I initially thought stats didn't matter and were more like a reference to what a character is good/bad at, than how good or bad they are at it. But I guess that was just me oversighting things.

Phantasm

@Fetzen Indeed, could we all have a fixed amount of points to spend on our character's stats? @auspiciousPetal Then progress as we go along?

It may take a bit of allocation on everyone's part, but that would not take very much time at all! I suggest maybe 45 points (4.5 x 10), so that we will have both strengths and weaknesses each. If you are open to the idea.

Though I don't see points and stats as very important at all in my style of writing, I do think that a sense of equality on starting characters- especially when stats apparently will have quite an impact on the roleplay - amongst characters, will really foster a good foundation for the interpersonal relationships amongst the characters. Likely in times when they have to rely on one another (someone that may be adept in melee combat, may be dying of starvation because he/she cannot hunt and has to rely on someone who has good survival skills - therefore they form a reluctant friendship).

What does everyone think? 45 points to distribute among the starting attributes? @Smystar99@Sterling

Phantasm

I'd also like to ask, do stats actually come into play here in a literal manner? Will they grow over time if they do?

I might have made my character a bit too understated compared to everyone else, should I adjust his values so that he might match them? I was going for a 'everyday man' kind of descriptor for him initially, but I might have overdone it, now I'm worried that the moment he actually steps into Eurasha - someone would just sneeze on him and he would collapse.

Phantasm

@Smystar99@auspiciousPetal Indeed, I know Mongomery is a bartendress which is why I asked if Illia was one too! :). Lots of matching links forming up here already. I could think of more reasons now how to insert our characters into the scene smoothly. Gwyn could be the sound guy for one of the emo bands. Then @Fetzen's character here at the bar being one of the customers, with @Sterling's character arriving by pizza, things are looking up.
