Welcome to Gaia! ::

Math isn't exactly my strong suit, so... get Brax to do it- she's smart. stressed

I know what you mean, but we chose ranks of power so we could establish 2 things.
1: no in-fighting over who deserves a promotion in guild- that's up to the leader of a faction.
2: so if we should ever feel like it, or if another member thinks they are suitable for the position, they can challenge the current faction leader for the power and title.

Besides- some people characters are modeled a certain way that kind of NEEDS them to be high-leveled in a faction.

Take my character for instance. He's meant to be played as a total badass archer/assassin. Hence why he is Listener of the DB and a Champion of the Arena. But I also set limits- in the Fighter's Guild and Thieves guild he's barely worth noticing.

Naw, I get what you're saying, it's just that I have something planned for my current character. Something that anyone who finds him too beefed up will enjoy.

Something involving a term I call "Daedroth Bait"

But that's for the future.


Now, as to the "Multiple factions" thing, I understand what you are saying. HOWEVER, I don't think it's much of a problem if your character is in multiple factions but is low-leveled. Not only does this cause that character to have to work AT THE VERY LEAST 2 times harder to level up in rank, but it means he can't go on "Battle" type missions- the ones where factions will war against each other (Say if someone's in Fighter's AND Mage's he'd have to side with both, which means losing his affiliation in one, if not both, guilds.)

Now, solving ANOTHER problem that I'm sure someone has asked before, NO, we ARE NOT allowed to use certain canon items like the Grey Cowl of Nocturnal- it would make that player TOO powerful. It's like giving the leader of the Fighter's Guild 3 separate items- Say, the Mace of Molag Bal (Or Volengdrung if they prefer big weapons), Spellbreaker AND Mehrune's Razor. AT THE MAX, we can have 3 canon mystical items on any one character, end even then there are restrictions in place to keep the player from spamming them.

Example- say I have a fighter who is good in heavy armor, block, and blade.

I'd give him enchanted Daedric Armor. Not bad on its own. But if I gave him Spell Breaker, that's still be acceptable. But it means his sword could be Glass at max- a weapon like Chillrend maybe, but if they wanted Goldbrand or the Ebony Blade, they'd be s**t out of luck.


And weapons that are WAY too powerful for any 1 person will be amended. Like.. take Umbra- even though it weight 40 pounds (post-patch) it is still the strongest weapon in the game. Now, we could EITHER NERF it (which we won't do because that's a s**t idea) OR we could give it a mind of it's own, say a curse (as Umbra should be, the sword taking over the host and the host being required to lug around heavy-a** weakened ebony armor (for some reason, Umbra's Armor is really weak in the def. attribute)) or we could have a little effect like "Umbra will wander from master to master every so often" in which case the player will lose Umbra and it will appear in the possession of an NPC somewhere in the world.

I'm not fond of using canon gear at all to be frank. Leads to superiority battles.

I say that a person needs to meet certain critera and must have good relations with the mages or a mage and the mage would enchant something for them. Even the Arch Mage can't produce anything of legendary proportion so all of the enchants would be sensible enough.

Thoughts?

Edit: Yeah, the Arena should only be a fame oriented things.

I've come up with a system!
>.>

Lemme lone. I like doing this kinda s**t.

I'd say that every so often at the end of an RP when EXP is totaled up, the DM rolls a 10 sided die. Even rolls would yeild a SoulStone.
Then the DM would roll again to determine what the soul stone was. Petty, Lesser, Common, Great, Grand or maybe Black.

Then they would roll...AGAIN to determine who gets it.

Then depending on the stone, it would cost so much XP to use it.

Say: I have 40 XP. Instead of leveling, I spend it on enchanting my blade.


I can flesh it out more, thoughts?

I'll make and PM a grading scale for RPs to the Captain and Vice Captains. This way it doesn't get out into the guild and people start making RPs to yeild max EXP. I'll get to it later. For now, treasure system.

At the end of a roleplay a 10-sided die is rolled. Even numbers yeild a Soul Gem. The creature contained within is unimportant so long as the Gem can contain it. Meaning no Dremora in Petty Soul Stones.

So, if a roll for treasure is successful. Now the DM will roll a 20 sided die for quality of the Gem:



Now, experince required to use each would be as follows:


Common sense should dictate what each stone is capable of.

Finally, depending on how many characters FINISHED the roleplay, a die would be rolled with each User getting an equal chance. If a person is playing two characters in the RP then they must choose one to be in the drawing.

You mean that system I just posted.
