Welcome to Gaia! ::

And it looks like the "Thieves Guild" is the overall favorite for the Organization submissions. What happens from here, you ask? The new Organization will be added to the active Organization list; creative control will be retained by it's creator Radryn Tiaos, and membership within the Thieves Guild is his if he so chooses. The Thieves Guild and all of it's current and future content is still subject to the ultimate authority of the Major DM's; all activity within the guild is by their approval, and must be approved before any major changes or additions. (as determined by the Major DM's themselves)

Congratulations Radryn, and well done!

Team damage/Stat based

Fimbult Wolf-clan: Holds the key of the Pack. Status effect and team attack based.
item: tribal-bond: E2, allows user to spend 4Ap and 4Mp to transform into a vicous Dire-wolf (+3 to attack, +3 combat dice, and 10 temporary Hp), or a cunning lycan (+3 to magic, +3 combat dice, and 10 temporary Hp). Please note that this can only be done once per engagement, and you must unequip items worth 4E. If this cannot be done, you do not gain the temporary Hp, and your stat gain is reduced to half, round down. This is the status effect, 'Lycanthropy', and can be removed by stat removal abillities 50% of the time. Changing to the other form while in the opposite transfomation takes 2Ap and Mp regardless of skills. Transforming is treated like an action for the purpose of STUNS ONLY.
Make: Status effect items. ((Cures, 'poisions', actions, and spells which cause status effects.))

Bonus skill: Lycan's Regeneration: FREE UPON MEMBERSHIP. So long as you are a member of this organisation, you will regenerate 1Hp for every 5 attack damage you do.

Purchasable Skills:
Pack Instinct: CP4. When you gain a team attack on one or more targets, both you, and your comrade(s) who are attacking the same opponent recieve a +8 attack bonus each. This bonus can only be used on the team attack. May only be tooken once

Fernis-crippler: CP5. Once every combat engagement, you may give the status effect: 'Crippled', to any opponent. The strength of the status effect is equal to 2 stat damage, for every time you purchase this skill. You may select either attack, defense, combat dice, or magic. You may only take this skill 3 times in total. May only be used in 'lycanthropy'.

Mental Mastery: CP3. When transformed, the stat gains are increased by 3 every time you purchased this skill. The temporary health gain is also increased by 6 for each purchase. Max purchase times: 3.

Spiritual Mastery: CP3. Cut the AP and MP price of transformation by one each, for each purchase in this skill. You may only take this skill once.

Lycan's Resistance: CP3. Cut attack and magic damage down by 2 for each purchase. However, you are dealt 4 unblockable damage every time you are attacked with a silver weapon. When tooken multiple times, you resist 2 extra points of attack and magic resistance. However, you are dealt 4 more damage when attacked by a silver weapon. You may only take this 5 times.

Lycan's Metal: CP2. Morphs your equipment to fit your transformed body; negates the equip need in transformation.

Skoll's Regeneration: CPX. The first purchase of this skill is 2, the next, 4, the next, 8, and 12. This gives you more Hp per puchase, when Lycan's Regeneration is activated. The extra Hp gained is equal to how many purchases you make with this skill. This also allows Lycan's regeneration to activate with magic damage. Can only be purchased 4 times.

Far within the silent woods of Miyr, is a place many residence call Howler's lake. This abandoned lake-side community is now home to an all were-wolf population. And while they look like normal, decent folk, they are in fact, more than capable in combat. They are not too concerned of outsiders, but will give them limited acess to the clan unless they join. Feral were-wolves are tooken in by this clan. Any character who utilises the strength in numbers... And a slight... 'Physical Advantage'; should consider joining. And while they are not the terror-striking fiends the folklore makes them out to be, they are still capable fighters and mages who take to the were-form to help in their crusades against all opposing natural order.

Glossary of terms I'd probably use at some point when explaining this:

Feral were-wolves: Were-wolves without clan, proper training in how to control blood-lust, or honor. This usually a combination of the three. They are created mostly when a were-wolf victim survives and gained the enchanted blood through a wound.

Lycanthropy: A magic based term on descriping someone who is a were-wolf.

Lycanthrope: A were-wolf.

Lycan: Intelligent bipedal creatures that are between wolf and man. This form gives good vision, smell, and hearing to the transformed; due to the hightened senses, and being magically suspened between two developed forms, they are more adept at the magical things which have shaped them.

Dire-wolf: Larger versions of normal wolves that lycanthropic people can transform into. Due to the added use of a mouthfull of teeth, plus four claws and extra speed, this transformation is favored with lycanthropes who need a fast and certainly armed form.

....yeah a lot of that is pretty over powered. Once toned down it might be fine.

Theft (chip based)

Thieves guild: Hold the key of the Gambler. Bribe and Leech skill based.

Item: Charm of Good Fortune: E1, Second chance to receive extra loot from monsters you kill (determined by DM)
Make: Leech items (items that redistribute points/chips/health favorably)

Skills:
Pickpocket: CP1, for every successful attack you make, you receive chips equal to 1/10 the amount of damage dealt. This increases by 1/10 for each cp placed into this skill. A maximum of 10.

Sleight of Hand: CP2, For one round of combat you may use an item "stolen" from one enemy. You must pay 1 AP equal to the cost of the equip of the stolen item. You cant pay more than your free equip. At the end of that round it returns back to the original owner. (This may not be used on consumables or cursed items.)

Wiley charm: CP1, Pay 10 times the cp total of a creature or pet in chips to gain control of that creature until end of combat. You may only control something with cp equal to or less than four times the amount of cp in this skill. ((If the creature is a players pet this skill has a 50/50 chance of succeding If it does succede the chips go to the pets owner.))

Bribe: (Stun Effect) CP4, You may pay 2AP and chips equal to 5 times half the targets cp total (rounded up) to become untargetable by that enemy for one round of combat. 50% chance to work on players and lietenants. It will not work on bosses and if the skill fails no chips are redistributed. This skill may only be successfully done once per combat.

Borrow Prowess: CP2, For this round of combat you may pay 2AP to take 2 points of any standard stat (except life) and add them to your own. (Counts as a stun effect)

Find Fortune: CP1, At the end of combat you may pay any amount of remaining AP/MP to gain twice that amount of chips.

The Thieves guild has only one major concern. "Whats mine is mine and whats yours is mine." If it's not tied down you better believe they'll find a way to obtain it. They also have few scrupples with handing out their money when in a pinch. (Of coarse it wasn't their money to begin with.)

((Before there are complaints about the unneccesary math, take into effect that the players can do the math themselves as well and show their work. Yes kids we are back in school. Also If their is a big complaint about this extra chips it can be solved in three different levels. First if the problem is the fact one player benefits more than the others in the group have it simply add the chips as group loot to be distributed at the end of the dungeon, and until that point useable by the thief. Second if the problem is the shear ammount of chips obtained simply decrease it by a percentage that seems fair after the end of the dungeon. Lastly if these three are not an option simply say that all pickpocketed and ill gotten gains disapear at the end of the dungeon, still allowing the thief to use it as ammo for their skills during the dungeon but giving them no benefit at its completion.))

What do you mean by "you must unequip items worth 4E"? If you have 8 Equip, you have to remove 4 points worth of stuff, but you can retain the other 4? And how did you arrive at the Stat/HP gain? I would have gone with +3 Attack, +3 Combat Dice, and +10 HP, to reflect the 8 points spent to activate the transformation.
Why 7 times? That seems a bit odd.
It seems redundant after Pack Mentality. I would suggest throwing the two into a blender, and see what comes out.
Throw out the AP cost, the CP covers it. Especially for once per engagement.
Why spend 4 CP on this, when you could achieve better, permanent results by buying 1 Attack, 1 Combat, and 1 Life for 3CP?
Again, why so much? The Ability is only useful to those who have Lycanthropy, so you would think that would mitigate the cost.
Overpowered. Maybe reduce Normal and Magic damage by 2 point for each level of Lycan's resistance, to a maximum of 5 levels, for a CP cost of 1 per level. Add the negative side affects of increased damage from silver, say +4 points per level, and it might work.
Since it's so Lycan Specific, I would reduce the CP cost to 2 points.
I would have the first level as a Organization Special Ability that is gained upon membership. Then rewrite this much like Advanced Demonic Regeneration, where the CP cost should be a factor of 2 for each level after the first. Initial cost is 2, then 4, 8, 16, to a maximum of 4.
Chances are, Silver weapons will simply be standard weapons, at increased cost, available at certain special locations.
It looks much better, but more is required. This Organization has definite winning potential... mrgreen

I like it.
So, kind of like a Team Attack, only a Team Dice, where all dice are added together, and you and your pets get the total value?
I like it.
I would suggest a minimum of 2CP cost, just from the potential of this ability alone...
Overall, it sounds like a great idea! mrgreen
