Welcome to Gaia! ::

WIP



This is basically a remake of HA. It's not exactly HA, but the premise will be the same. We get sucked into the KH universe. We'll start out in our world, in Nebraska. The guildies are meeting up in real life as a group, and Nebraska was the most central/economic location for everyone to meet. We'll go to the Renaissance Fair together, and that's where something will happen that pulls us into KH. To make things run smoother, the 'guild' isn't a RP guild; instead, we all know each other from our MMORPG guild. HA in this RP will refer to an online KH MMO.

Convergence helped me figure out the mechanics, and other short falls. The stat system was already fairly simple, but I don't like having to roll dice–it feels like an unnecessary step, so I'm taking that part out. No one has to roll, it'll just be STR or the ability vs DEF or MDEF, and if the attack is stronger, you hit, no roll needed.

The point system will change a bit. You still get points to spend on your abilities or stats as you see fit, but word count will be irrelevant. It'll be 5 points if you post at least once a week. If you post twice in one week, you'll get 6 points.

Another short fall I noticed was that I can't do it all on my own. I got facts mixed up and messed up a few parts of Convergence, went out of order. Too many players to keep track of. So I'll need help running the RP, someone to help keep track of the point system, help be the bad guy(s), trigger plot points, etc.

We started out with a lot of characters all at once last time, quite overwhelming, so this will have a starting limit. Gotta think how much. It'll depend on how many co-GMs sign on to help.

There are four stats.

Hit Points (HP)
Strength (STR)
Defense (DEF)
Magic Defense (MDEF)

Hit Points

Everyone starts out with 100 HP. You can lose HP during combat, but if you reach 0 you are not dead, only knocked out. No one can kill you without your permission.

You can increase you HP by spending points. 1 point = 1 HP

If you lose HP during combat, you can spend points to regain it right away. Otherwise, HP will automatically refill on the 1st of each month (I may change this to 1 week, depending on how active the RP is).

Strength

Everyone starts out with 10 STR. Strength determines how hard you attack with your weapon, or your body (punching, kicking, etc).

You can increase your STR by spending points. 1 point = 1 STR

Defense

Everyone starts out with 10 DEF. Defense determines if you are hit, or if you are able to dodge against physical/non-magic attacks. It determines if you take damage from an attack, or not. If you successfully defend against an attack, you can chose whether or not you dodged it, or it just didn't hurt you.

You can increase your DEF by spending points. 1 point = 1 DEF

Magic Defense

Everyone starts out with 10 MDEF. Magic Defense determines if you are hit, or if you are able to dodge against magical attacks. It determines if you take damage from a magical attack, or not. If you successfully defend against a magical attack, you can chose whether or not you dodged it, or it just didn't hurt you.

You can increase your MDEF by spending points. 1 point = 1 MDEF

WIP



Attacking Physically

STR + Weapon

When attacking with just your body, punching, kicking, etc., your attack is worth whatever your STR stat is + your weapon.



Defending

DEF or MDEF + Modifier

When defending, your defense is worth whatever your DEF or MDEF stat is, plus whatever buff you've got; could have a shield, or have protect casted on you, etc. If it's a physical attack, DEF will block it. If it's a magical attack, MDEF will block it.



Taking Damage

What if Sally's attack did do damage? Let's say Jim has no shield.



GMs will keep track of the damage that's done. You can spend points to recharge your HP, or it will automatically refill after your character has had an extended chance to rest.

Attacking with Abilities

When you use an ability to attack, the attack is whatever point level the ability is at. If your Fire ability has 10 points invested in it, the attack is worth 10. This is the same as a normal attack with your body, so I won't give another example of that.

Charging Your Abilities

You can take 1 turn, 1 post, to charge up your ability. This will add +10 to the ability's effectiveness. You can do this and also attack and defend and use a different ability.



Defending with Abilities

Defending against an ability attack is the same as defending normally. If you want to defend with an ability, say an Ice Shield, or whatever, you can do this in addition.

Let's say Sally cast an Ice Shield at the beginning of the fight, and it surrounds her. She can cast her magic through it, and fight like normal.



What if Sally didn't already have her Ice Shield up? She can throw it up as a reaction, but she won't be able to use another one of her abilities during her turn. See the Actions Per Turn (APT) rules in the post below.

Attacking with a Weapon

You will get a weapon during the RP. Most weapons will start out with 10 points invested in them.

When attacking with a weapon, add your STR stat + the weapon points

If the weapon is coated with magic, its attack is split. First it does the magical damage (the ability's damage), against the player's MDEF; and second it does your STR stat + the weapon points against normal DEF. So it's like attacking twice, really, if it's coated with magic. ninja



Defending with a Weapon

Defending with a Weapon works the same way as attacking. If you are holding a weapon, you automatically get this perk.
DEF stat + the weapon points



If an ability is 'coating' the weapon, such as a flame enchanting spell, the ability's points are considered MDEF when blocking with that weapon.

----------------------------

MISC:

In all cases: If there is ever a tie, the defender wins.

WIP



Open and accepting.

Fill out the template for the character that you'd like to play, and post in the Roleplay Audition Thread.

Weapons will all be added as the RP is played. OR, because we begin at the Renaissance Fair, you can begin with whatever weapon is on you. So if you just bought a weapon there, or if you came dressed up, that's what you'll start with. Even if it's made of foam, it'll become real when we're sucked into KH.

Earthling Application Template



Bad guys get to start stronger, and with more abilities available to them. They'll be able to use status-effecting abilities, like paralyze, confuse, and other d**k moves. Because they're bad guys.
