the monster system would just be monster under from the games. but the monster would fall under certain categories.
power- high damage but super slow
defense- hard to hurt and kill, but not the best speed or damage
speed- hard to hit, just a pain in the a** but of course low damage
magic- good magic defense and offense...but a good axe swing will cleave them in two
status- well rounded...and like to use status attacks
For magic there will be feilds (such as fire, wind, mud(combo of water and earth)...etc) as well as each status would have a...forte...like cockatrices your ready with softs because there gonna petrify you, and scorpions to posion you.....but some will have feild that cover a few statuses
now as for my idea on the monsters...basically if its not a city area every three posts in the open (if your haven't used a item to ward them away) you would roll a d20...certain numbers (designated by the thread creators) will result in certain monsters. Each monster will class as one of the monster groups...and then its level comes in to play. Stronger people will draw out the stronger enemies because when a monster appears its simple to determine its level you take add all the members level of the party add them together, then divide by the number of party members.
instead of the monster level being leveled so you have to redo it, its simple to make it where like every level +1str, every 2 lvls +1 dex....that just a example but you get idea....basically all monster would be labeled as one of the types to keep thing simple.

once i post more on the weapons ill show you my idea on the double weapons. (gunblades-bladed weapon type and gun type, tri sections staves- staff type and non blade melee type, and ring blade- multiple blade weapons) most of the duel weapons wont have anything special about it, but all will have the requirements of both weapons added together. the damge of them will still be set by the individual weapon type. basicaly double weapons will....be hard as hell to use but....there are a few feat that make them better to use, such as there will be feats for individual weapons, but there will also be feats for double weapons the add to the bonuses of both of the weapons types as long as the double weapon matches the requirement.
rpy/feats- then with the feats yes exactly like that, label the passive abilities that dont have to be used as feats. a pretty big list of them but...not a ungodly amount to keep it simpler, as many will be the same..like weapons will be the same, and the magics (elementals magics etc) but there will be some skills, that will be required to learn the abilities same as magics and some of them will be combined to lean a specific skill (think like fire blade, or windaga slash, etc)
Classes/jobs/soulspheres- let me get this right, spheres dont have to be used right? if so....over time we should add more of these as needed ...but for now focous more on the things needed to guild the guild on its feet and moving....i havent been able to rp much, do to things i havent gotten unhappy about WotN, and its killing me.

Screw you and your Tinkerer Zineal (has gotten screwed to many times by that class).
But seriously, if you want the class, feel free to create it. I just won't do it myself.
Anyway, this is coming close to the end folks and I appreciate each and every one of your help. Now I'm gonna put you to more work. Since we have a few examples of just about everything, what I'd like for you to do is see if you can find any weapons(gig's doin this so might not need to worry), abilities, classes, skills, etc that you thing we could use in the guild and paste it. Basically this'll make things go by a bit faster as I won't have to search for stuff. I appreciate it greatly.
And I'll get to your suggestions soon gig.

Alright, first I'll address feats. I was having a bit of a hard time debating on if I wanted them or not cause I could see good and bad sides to both. In the end, though, I'm gonna have to say no. Mostly because that would give people one more thing to learn/screw up where as if they have to learn it like they learn EVERYTHING else, then there is less chance of them screwing it up or saying 'i forgot' or something like that. So, at least for now, we're going to go with the regular learning.
Also there is a limit to how much people can learn. I just haven't wrote it up. Rather, a limit to how much you can learn at one time. Can't have people learning like 10 things at once now can we?
I'm pretty sure I want to cap it at like 5 things overall bu5t i'm not sure if it will be a progressive build up to 5 like 1 per so many levels or if it will be just 5 overall

Ok, let me make sure I got this straight for the monsters.
Basically, outside of towns or in any specially marked areas, after so many posts you have to start doing rolls to see if you get into a random battle. That works. Whether you move or not, after 2 posts, you have to do it.
If your traveling between regions (say going from Balamb to Midgar) you have to do random battle checks more frequently but the battles also count as your posts to travel to town.
Now as for the monster you encounter... hmmm I think it would be easier to do it like this. You choose the number of monsters you fight. You can fight as many monsters as you want at one time BUT you have to have each of them doing something at least every other post. In other words, you can't fight 100 monsters and just have 99 of them just sitting there watching while you pick them apart one at a time. They have to be doing something or else the fight will be nullified or you won't get any exp.
As far as the level's go, Lets just say the monsters can't be more than 10 levels below your level. In case of a party, do as Gig said and find the average of the groups level and the monsters can't be more than 10 levels lower than that number. The monsters can be any amount higher than your level that you want but if you end up dieing, well that's your fault.
There's, of course, an exception in that if a mission or quest states a monster is on a certain level, it's just on that level, no changing it.
Now, as far as the levels go, since monsters learn different things at different levels, I was thinking of doing kind of what gig said and having preset increases and decreases. However, we'd do about 3 or 4 variations of the monsters stats, with different attacks and abilities and such and the person finds the stat closest to the level they want to use and either increase or decrease the monsters stats based on that.
Now, as for the categories, again a good idea. I figure we could use that to determine the level ups and downs of a monster. Basically have a chart with those categories and what they boost/drop and just have a line for each monsters that displays what category they are.
That way you just find the monster you want, find the level closest to what you want and level it's stats accordingly. Shouldn't be TOO hard and complicated to do. Of course some monsters will have random or strange growth/drops but that's for a different time.
Sound about right?
So say we did a Goblin. We would have a goblin in the defensive category which increases dex and con by 2 per 3 levels and int by 1 per 3 levels. We would have a level 1 Goblin, level 10, level 25, level 50 and level 100 (possibly).
Level 1 - no special abilities
Level 10 - Goblin Punch
Level 25 - Goblin Punch, Rank 1 Club equipped
Level 50 - Goblin Punch, Rank 2 Club equipped, Rank 2 Vest equipped
Level 100 - Goblin Punch, Rank 3 Club equipped, Rank 3 Vest equipped, Club Mastery
You are about level 30 so the closest level would be 25. Say you want to fight a monster on your level so you'll fight a level 30 Goblin which is 5 levels higher than the level 25. You would add 2 points to the monsters dex and con and 1 to its int since it's 5 levels higher. (if it was 6 levels higher you could increase its stats again but its not so you can't)
So now you have a level 30 Goblin capable of doing goblin punch equipped with a rank 1 club to pound your head in.
Does that all make sense?

No there'll be passive skills. You just learn them the same way you learn regular abilities.
Basically from fights and training and ect, you'll get a few different rewards: Exp, Gil, and KP. KP is like exp for abilities.
Hmmm as far as that extra chart, that might make things a bit to difficult or annoying. I'm not saying the person couldn't give the monster more abilities if they wanted but just think it'd be easier if they just had to level it up a bit and it already had certain stats and equipment.

Summons – Powerful creatures from different realms of existence will answer the call of one who is willing to feed them the mystical energies they need. For those with especially potent magical power, these creatures may even stay for extended periods of time to aid the person in combat instead of simply unleashing a single attack upon the foe. However, do not ever mistake these creatures for simple minded monsters or else you may be in for a rude awakening.

Of course there are a few exceptions but overall, they are nothing but food for the budding adventurer. Due to this, they are allowed to exist just about everywhere they can survive without much fear of them causing much trouble.
