Guys, you can just @ me in the thread.

Anyway, posting the test Avatars that were used in the combat testing done yesterday. There have been multiple questions about examples, for clarification, so, here they are.

Test Avatars

Name: Hydroid
Element: Tide
Proficiency: 1
Potency: 2
Stamina: 2
Favor: 1
Prowess: 2
Medicine: 1
Enlightenment: 1
Description: A green polywog, the size of a small bear, eyes like an actopus, and lightly spiked armor.
Special Abilities:
- Tidal Wave (Attack) (5 CP)
- Undertow (Ability; Roll the Burst Die. The result determines a negative to opponents’ next Action Die roll. 1-3= -1, 4-6= -2, 7-9=-3, 10-12=-4, Potency Bonus doesn’t count) (3 CP)

Name: Infernoid
Element: Flame
Proficiency: 2
Potency: 2
Stamina: 1
Favor: 1
Prowess: 1
Medicine: 1
Enlightenment: 2
Description: A black wolf with a flaming mane and tail
Special Abilities:
- Wild Fire (Attack+Ability; continuous effect: deals 1/3 of original damage each turn after the initial attack, costs additional 5 CP per turn it’s kept up, can’t defend/charge on a turn this upkeep is performed. Effect wears off immediately on a turn where upkeep is not paid, cost must be paid before damage is done, cost must be paid at beginning of turn) (10 CP)

establishing the stats is explained in the rules, players get to set their Avatars' stats within reason, no rolling, no point buy, but, if you all think it would be easier, I can work up a point buy system for setting Avatar stats. What do you all think?

ok, got some play-testing done on my combat system, seems pretty solid, just a couple tweeks necessary, which I'm making directly to the rule book in the OP. I recommend those who want to seem like they already have a solid grasp on it? contact me for some practice, if that ends up being everybody, well, someone will have to roleplay being the "Joey Wheeler" of the group and pretend they don't know anything :P

Come one, there's always one, at least, in these plots :P

lol, that's the spirit!

p.s.- sweet track, man

in this case? nobody else choosing one before you do. It sounds like something that shouldn't have to be addressed, and stupid to do so, but in my experience, it absolutely is. To an extent, it's also useful as a "green M+M's" clause for my rp's; thank you for showing me you actually read this.

But, that's the long and short of it; I identified it as rare, thus, not everybody should try to have one. Knowing that string of logic is somehow not universal, though, I made it clear I don't want to deal with that.

That is as "unsalty" as I can be about it and still answer the question without breaking some rules about my own conduct, here.

No worries, there's no rush right now, as we're still testing some of my mechanics.

Aww I wanted to do a caster gun gimmick.

Anyway this seems neat enough and I'll get something written up. Quick question, would a volcanic themed avatar be earth or fire for the element?

@Jerkchicken

lol, sorry, there'll be enough long distance and high powered stuff flying around with magic stuff :P

implementing Lava as part of your Avatar or it's abilities would definitely be a Flame Avatar.

just made an adjustment; I had no space for Health on the Avatar character sheet, and corrected that. Also included determining starting health for combat, which was not, previously.

Important note: testing of my mechanics are taking place as we speak, so don't expect game to start right away, alright? Again, please be patient.
