Welcome to Gaia! ::

I dunno what to be.

Clerics are boss though.

Yeah, it really depends what God you worship... like you said... evil clerics... do what they want xD

*Shrugs* Perhaps. Depending what system you are going off of... they aren't so limited to healing... as much as being a party of one. I personally like playing healers >,> in most games anyways, its an underapperchiated yet essential role.

Yerp yerp yerp.

So..... should i make this thing? haha

Simple

Stats

Str= damage, hit with melee
Dex= dodge, hit with ranged
Con= Health, natural immunities
Wis= mage damage, amount of mana
Int= Skill points, magic hit chance
Cha= Conversational skills, sexiness

Skills

Stealth=sneaking, moving silently, blah blah blah
Agility= running, climbing, jumping, swimming, ******** weaponskill= +1 to dmg and hit when wielding specific weapon
Advanced spellcasting= +1 dmg and hit to specific spell type
Persuasion= chances to use diplomacy to affect npcs
Tinkering= knowledge of items from locks to special weapons to grappling hooks to d***o cannons
Survival= making camp, hunting, building fire, knowing how to survive (duh)
others... up for suggestions....

Okay, to begin we are all at lvl one. We start out all zeros

Everything will be d20 based. this monster has this much armor, roll above that to hit it, and if you hit it, roll damage to see how much damage you did,(damage is based on what weapons you use) and glean what happens.

When we level up, we get one point to put in stats, each point gives +1 to rolls in that category. and depending on how much intelligence you get, you will get one skill point, with one point in intelligence, you will get an extra every fifth, with 2 you get an extra every fourth, so on, until you are getting 2 every level.

Stats directly effect skills. Example, if you want to go run up the side of the wall, and climb through a window, the difficulty would be 18 say since it is a mildly high window. if you have one in agility, then that gives you plus one, so you only have to roll a seventeen. But then you also have plus one in dex, so now you only have to roll sixteen. Get it?

Different races have different modifiers. Halflings are smaller, faster, and weaker. So plus one dex, minus one strength, meaning they start in the negatives. other races are different, we will make it up as we go along.

If you fail a check, you don't get to try again. yes, if you are all just standing there, and someone fails to pick the lock to the only door in the dungeon, then that method of entry no longer works. someone else could try breaking it down, or burning it down. but opening the lock doesn't work.

Different classes start with different hitpoints.

Barbarian 12
Fighter/paladin 10
Monk/Cleric/Druid 8
Bard/Rouge
Sorcerer/Wizard 4

so on and so forth

if you die, and don't have a healer, then your character gets sent back to the grand lobby. Or the other characters can sacrifice equally amongst them to reach the maximum hitpoints for the character and bring them back to life. though a healer would just be wiser.

armor raise your armor, which starts out at 10. the heavier armor, the more bonus, but less dexterity bonus and less chance of spells working.

then there is weapon proficency and the like but thats unimportant....

hows that sound so far guys?
