To answer Acoran first -

The system is very realistic, and I will describe injuries such as bleeding wounds, sprains, broken bones, etc. On the bad side, however, there is a chance (though really small) that a 1st level character can take out a 20th level with a single blow. The system uses critical hits based on weapon type used and armor worn.

Channeling as a spell type is power that comes from some being (usually deific in nature) that the caster can use to affect things. Mentalism is the use of mind-based magic, where the power comes from the caster.

I have upwards of 50 of what most would call "main quests", and hundreds of minor ones. You will choose the direction in which you want to go, though I will leave you hints as to what's available. There is no "ending" of the game as I see, just a completion of the task you are on to go to the next one.

In the beginning, the party should stay together until they can feel out the area. Once you are established, I have no problem splitting (if, for example there's more than one quest that individual players want to do).

For Fistendantilus - sorry, no Kender. You can double as a mage/bard no matter what race, but the advancement will be slow. The turns work themselves out. We probably can't all get together at the same time, so I'll be running turns every day or so. The turns can either be simple quick things or very complex things, depending on how much info you can give me on how your character is reacting. I've run on e-mail before. Definitely make use of Private Posting - we can hold a virtual conversation on what's going on if you have questions.

Could I get a copy of the combat/magic descriptions? I may want to edit some stuff once I see the full rules. Email is [email protected]

[Kethruch]

I have a neighbor here who does not have a computer who is interested in joining. Does anyone object to his joining and posting through my link?

[Kethruch]

Please don't get me for thread necromancy. I've gotten several PMs and e-mails about interest and questions so I figured I'd answer some of the more common here.

 

The characters should be described as fully or lightly as you wish. If you just want to tell me that you want to be a human fighter - fine. Please nothing way out of the norm, like requesting a vampire, other creature, or a race that you create.

 

The battle rules are fairly specific and somewhat gory. All you need to do however, is give me a weapon that you are swinging and the target(s) that you are trying to hit.

 

For spells - don't make them up yourself. The spells don't work the same way as Morrowind. To get powerful spells, you need to learn the weaker ones first. Also, the more powerful spells are not easy to cast, so don't expect the spell to go off correctly very often.

 

There can be some play in the final outcome when you get your character, and some things will be left to you.

 

If you want an example, please look at the thread.

 

Please use the guidelines included in this post when you send your request for a character.

[loveme4whoiam]

Character Name: Eruánion

Sex: Male

Basic Description: (this is assuming i am a Half-Elf which i normally play as) He is tall, even for an Elf, with a strange complexion which meets somewhere between High Elf-golden and Dark Elf-grey/black. He has one blue eye and one blood-red eye, giving him a forbidding appearance. He has several scars in various places on his body, including one large sweeping cut along his left flank. He usually dresses in Light Armour, but disguises this with a large black robe that covers his head, face, and body.

 

Order of Desired Race

 

½ Elf (Dark Elf-High Elf)

Rohir

Cerenorn

High Elf

If your character class normally does not use spells, which type would you like to have a chance of picking up at very low power?

 

Elemental

Mentalism

Essence

Channeling

 

Background options:

 

Eruánion is a complex character (sorry). He was born a half-elf, and shunned by his fellows. His parents raised him to learn and love the lore of the world, and trained him to be deadly but honourable with his weapons. He has a weak point against mages, because he has little to no skill in this area, but being an Elf it is almost required of him. Apart from this flaw he is generally welcoming to all races and classes, except for the obvious dislike of goblins all Elves have.

 

Final Options:

 

1 money roll

Tracking boxes

Longblade

Missile weapons (not crossbow)

Stats upping

Healing spell

 

Money: He carries only what is necessary to buy himself and others drinks in a tavern. He relys on his hunting skills to eat, and sleeps in the wild. He has little need for money.

 

Item: One-handed longblade

Spells: Basic healing spells on self and companions,

Some hiding spells, and Calm Creature spell

 

Do you worship a certain god?

 

No. He does not believe in gods, but instead prays to the memory of his ancestors to watch over him and those he cares for.

 

OOC - Like Maximus does in Gladiator

 

 

Edit - Is that accetpable? :innocent:

Spells -

Whatever you think best for the rest - I'll do a history later

[Kethruch]

No problem, Melisande. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me. I'll do my best to work out the final kinks with you if you want. Feel free to post however much or little that we've discussed.

 

A few notes to others:

 

if you want me to do what I think is best, please give me some parameters. The system allows for just about anything. "I am a fighter. I want the background to be the best for a fighter" might not get you what you want because I might take that to mean that you want your weapon stats to be as high as I can get them. you might have thought that it would be a more rounded character.

 

Hobbies you can think of and quirks (not major ones) in your background can make your character come alive, and make the process of creating your character easier for both of us.

 

thanks
