Class 2010 September 25 - Let's Rumble RP fighting Style
(1 post)-
[11:06 AM] Leigh Huet: for those that don't know me I am Leigh one of the moderators in Legacies, I have been RPin in Legacies for a year now
[11:07 AM] Patch: ((Patch Reina is Out Of Character))
[11:07 AM] Usha Darkthorn: ah ok i like FFc then lol
[11:07 AM] Leigh Huet: if you have not had a chance to meet my character I hope that you will find a reason to as I enjoy RPing as much as I can...but will ask if it is crazy in the cafe give me time I will acknowledge your character it just doesn't always happen as fast as I would like
[11:08 AM] Leigh Huet: now let me start out by saying there are some steadfast rules that must be met for any form of combat
[11:09 AM] Leigh Huet: the challenge rule must be met
[11:09 AM] Leigh Huet: who can tell me what exactly do we mean by the challenge rule?
[11:10 AM] Fiona: ((Fiona Restless has entered the area.))
[11:10 AM] Patch Reina raises his hand?
[11:10 AM] Leigh Huet: patch
[11:11 AM] Patch Reina: you have to give fare warning that your about to start combat in an IC post?
[11:11 AM] Leigh Huet: yes you do and how many lines at least of RP should there be
[11:11 AM] Patch Reina: um...errh....ah...3?
[11:12 AM] Leigh Huet: 2 actually
[11:12 AM] Patch Reina: ah
[11:12 AM] Patch Reina: brb one sec..something is going on with my chat
[11:12 AM] Leigh Huet: and that does not mean just walking up to someone and start a conflic they would be confused as to why this conflict started
[11:13 AM] Leigh Huet: ok
[11:13 AM] Patch Reina: back
[11:14 AM] Leigh Huet: there should always be an IC reason for that conflict. to begin with and it could be something that has been building
[11:15 AM] Usha raises her hand
[11:15 AM] Leigh Huet: no matter the reason after you have made your second post they the person behind the keyboard knows that your next statement is going to be an action and before you do that action you should be in IM with them to ask 2 questions
[11:15 AM] Leigh Huet: yes usha?
[11:16 AM] Usha Darkthorn: so to attack ou don't have to warn them in IM?
[11:16 AM] Leigh Huet: your RP does that
[11:17 AM] Leigh Huet: but as I said after that 2nd post you should be in IM with them
[11:17 AM] Usha Darkthorn: ok but you need to agree ooc right to call a ST?
[11:17 AM] Leigh Huet: and that is what I was going to say
[11:17 AM] Usha Darkthorn: hehe ok sorry
[11:17 AM] Usha keeps quiet now and listens
[11:18 AM] Leigh Huet: you can have a fight without an ST IF one both or all parties involved agree if just one says that you would rather have an ST then accept it and call for one in the OOC chat
[11:19 AM] Leigh Huet: the other question you can ask is if they would rather meter bash
[11:20 AM] Fiona do stats affect dice rolls?
[11:20 AM] Nicolie Luv: I hadnt heard that term before
[11:20 AM] Leigh Huet: you do not have to do the RP fight but and this is a very big one. all of us should respect the other player if they request to RP for that is our first choice here
[11:20 AM] Leigh Huet: meter bash?
[11:20 AM] Nicolie Luv: yes
[11:21 AM] Leigh Huet: I came from NoR and there it was all about the meter and who could push the buttons the fastest on their keyboard and get the others meter down to zero
[11:21 AM] Leigh Huet: those healt points I talk about
[11:21 AM] Leigh Huet: health*
[11:21 AM] Nicolie Luv: yes
[11:22 AM] Leigh Huet: RP fighting it doesn't matter about levels
[11:22 AM] Nicolie Luv: so like what we do to the zombies.
[11:22 AM] Leigh Huet: correct
[11:22 AM] Leigh Huet: instead it is with each other
[11:22 AM] Nicolie Luv: nods understanding. thank you
[11:22 AM] Leigh Huet: yw
[11:23 AM] Leigh Huet: now Fiona asked a question about stats and dice rolls
[11:23 AM] Leigh Huet: the way the math works is the system looks at your stats and sets a target number
[11:23 AM] Leigh Huet: the same goes for who you have targeted
[11:23 AM] Leigh Huet: then you say choose to harm someone
[11:24 AM] Leigh Huet: so you use PvTarget Harm
[11:24 AM] Leigh Huet: that is in essence rolling a d100
[11:24 AM] Leigh Huet: it happens automatically and figures in the resistance of who you are fighting with
[11:24 AM] Leigh Huet: that determins the outcome that you see
[11:24 AM] Leigh Huet: critical fail, fail, bare success, success. and stellar success
[11:25 AM] Usha Darkthorn: oh i never had bare succes
[11:25 AM] Leigh Huet: your meter is a learning one in that it knows your walking, running, fighting NPC's, RPing how many you RP with all of this affects your meter
[11:25 AM] Fiona Restless what i don't get is that I look at my stats and they don't really make much sense notr do the methods of improving them
[11:26 AM] Leigh Huet: bare success are rare for one reason
[11:26 AM] Leigh Huet: because it is the EXACT number you needed
[11:26 AM] Leigh Huet: ok lets talk a moment about that Fiona
[11:26 AM] Leigh Huet: each level has its own measuring bucket
[11:27 AM] Leigh Huet: the percentages you see is based upon that one levels measuring bucket
[11:27 AM] Leigh Huet: when you level you go to the next size bucket up so the percentages change
[11:27 AM] Leigh Huet: but
[11:28 AM] Leigh Huet: if you have 10% dexterity at level 10 and 9% level dexterity at level 11 that 9% is stronger than that 10% was
[11:29 AM] Leigh Huet: does that help?
[11:30 AM] Nicolie Luv: so kinda like golf the lower the score the better
[11:30 AM] Leigh Huet: actually that number can even stay the same
[11:31 AM] Leigh Huet: I use that example for some believe their numbers have gone down when in actuallity they have not
[11:31 AM] Fiona Restless: so at level 19 , a 2% dex is good?
[11:31 AM] Rune Shen'Lung: "thats unless the gremlins get involved then its blah lmao"
[11:32 AM] Leigh Huet: I am going to be upfront with all of you on the stats and say this. If you are RPing that you are this great fighter then that is what you should also be doing...fighting NPC's and getting into a lot of scraps...for it is the only way your meter will reflect what you RP
[11:33 AM] Crimson Sixpence: what about magical people though?
[11:34 AM] Leigh Huet: because that is what those stats should all add up to. it is a reflection of what you do in your RP. if you sit a lot and just RP with a few people then that is what your stats are reflecting...
[11:34 AM] Leigh Huet: you do get...bonues based on the profession you chose as well
[11:34 AM] Leigh Huet: but in the end it is all about the dice
[11:34 AM] Crimson Sixpence: so pretty much based on luck?
[11:35 AM] Leigh Huet: it is a complicated algorhythm that I am not even close to understanding for it looks at ALL of your stats to determine what your target number is and then the luck when it comes to what the dice will give you
[11:35 AM] Leigh Huet: but
[11:36 AM] Leigh Huet: you will not improve your stats either by sitting here and hitting the Pvtarget harm over and over again
[11:36 AM] Leigh Huet: the main idea here is to play your character do what you say your character does by using it throughout your RP
[11:37 AM] Leigh Huet: you say you attempt to jump on a wall use PvEnviornment simple task if it is waist..
[11:38 AM] Fiona Restless: Well then i best be going to find zombies..thanks for the class
[11:38 AM] Leigh Huet: wait
[11:38 AM] Crimson Sixpence: yea the whole using harm or inspect over and over and over or assist will not help antying *me learned this*
[11:39 AM] Leigh Huet: actually your wrong Crimson
[11:39 AM] Crimson Sixpence: i tested it out myself to see if any stats would change
[11:39 AM] Leigh Huet: they do grow and adjust as you use the rolls consistantly throughout your RP
[11:39 AM] Leigh Huet: you gain the most wisdom and knowledge through failures
[11:40 AM] Patch Reina: so even failing increases yoru stats?
[11:40 AM] Fiona Restless: don't i know it
[11:40 AM] Rune Crimson: Rune is a smart mofo...lol
[11:41 AM] Leigh Huet: yes actually you grow a lot more if you fail for you learn something from it
[11:41 AM] Crimson Sixpence: yea i critcaly failed to assist fiona......and ended up knocking her on her ass x.x
[11:41 AM] Leigh Huet: and should have hurt yourself in the process
[11:41 AM] Crimson Sixpence: i shoulda RP'd catching her face on fire xD
[11:41 AM] Leigh Huet: not if you critically failed
[11:42 AM] Crimson Sixpence: i was trieng ot heal her
[11:42 AM] Leigh Huet: that is the other part about RP fights is understanding the outcomes and how to RP those outcomes
[11:42 AM] Leigh Huet: Rune could you do an RP example with me?
[11:42 AM] Crimson Sixpence: we weren't fighting at the time. I was trieng to heal up her burnt face with muh magic stick
[11:43 AM] Patch Reina: bow chika wow wow
[11:43 AM] Nicolie Luv: chuckles at patch as if his own mind has been read
[11:43 AM] Leigh Huet: waits to see if Rune is really awake
[11:44 AM] Nicolie Luv: hey patch go tickle runes feet
[11:44 AM] Patch Reina: no..he has toe jam
[11:45 AM] Leigh Huet: taps her fingers
[11:45 AM] Nicolie Luv: laughs
[11:45 AM] Tiffany Warcliffe: eeeewwww
[11:45 AM] Leigh Huet: ok will try someone else
[11:45 AM] Leigh Huet: Usha
[11:46 AM] Leigh Huet: in this lets say Usha is very upset and for Leigh she prefers something else
[11:46 AM] Leigh Huet: this would be my RP attempt
[11:48 AM] Lady Leigh is starting to feel on edge from Usha's anger she closes her eyes and pulls upon the inner void when she speaks it is not one vocal chord that is heard but three, in a soft chant she says, "calm for one cannot think when filled with anger"
[11:48 AM] Lady Leigh successfully assists Usha.
[11:49 AM] Leigh Huet: she gets to react based on the details of what I just RPd
[11:49 AM] Leigh Huet: I was successful in my attempt and it is up to her to RP that out
[11:50 AM] Nicolie Luv: so if you were not successful she could rp being even more angery?
[11:50 AM] Leigh Huet: if it was a fail yes or it didn't calm her at all and she is still angry
[11:50 AM] Leigh Huet: but if it was a critical
[11:51 AM] Leigh Huet: then ya would say it did the opposite and I now have a psy headache
[11:51 AM] Leigh Huet: from the backlash
[11:51 AM] Nicolie Luv: but since it was a success Usha should rp something about her not being as angery or has a sudden calmness>
[11:51 AM] Usha was so calm that she almost fell asleep
[11:52 AM] Usha Darkthorn: lol
[11:52 AM] Leigh Huet: now that I would agree with Usha if it was stellar
[11:52 AM] Leigh Huet: laughs
[11:52 AM] Leigh Huet: and I would even say I felt it more as well again back lash
[11:52 AM] Leigh Huet: I released TOO much
[11:52 AM] Leigh Huet: here is another way to think of it
[11:53 AM] Leigh Huet: how many of you have ever grabbed a bottle of perfume and went to use it...now lets say half the bottle is now on your hands that is a stellar success
[11:53 AM] Leigh Huet: you got your cologne or perfume but more than you planned on
[11:54 AM] Nicolie Luv: probably more like a stinky susccess if it was too much
[11:54 AM] Crimson Sixpence: hmm how would that work with a discovery? cause i've done stellars when i was just trieng to see what they were
[11:54 AM] Leigh Huet: all depends on what you RPd
[11:55 AM] Crimson Sixpence: i'll give u an example of what i did
[11:55 AM] Usha Darkthorn: so to have a stellar succes also has a side effect to yourself?
[11:55 AM] Leigh Huet: yes it does
[11:55 AM] Usha Darkthorn: ah ok i did not know
[11:55 AM] Crucia raises her staff to cast the shadow of <person's name" true form.
[11:56 AM] Nicolie Luv: sounds like they had a protection on them from your staff, could that be it Leigh?
[11:57 AM] Crimson Sixpence: crucia uses her magic to cast a shadow to see what they are, kinda like a ghost standing next to them.
[11:57 AM] Crimson Sixpence: like a light
[11:57 AM] Crimson Sixpence: the crystals light
[11:57 AM] Leigh Huet: that is pretty general crimson but if you got a stellar on that with one say a lycan then they would either RP you seeing the lycan or would transform into that lycan but get more than you bargained for as that Lycan may not be very nice.
[11:58 AM] Crimson Sixpence: ehhhyyyeehehe k
[11:58 AM] You decline NoR - Levels and Stats 09-25-2010 from A group member named Bizarre Obscure.
[11:58 AM] Leigh Huet: remember you get what you ASKED for
[11:59 AM] Leigh Huet: in all things you want to be sure your RP is as clear as possible so the other player can then work of it
[11:59 AM] Lady Leigh hits tri with a bottle
[11:59 AM] Leigh Huet: and I get steller
[12:00 PM] Leigh Huet: well I have no right to be angry if he says it hit his arm
[12:00 PM] Leigh Huet: because I did not say WHERE I was hitting him
[12:01 PM] Leigh Huet: the more details you give the more the other player has to RP off of the less well they can even squirm out of what it is you are wanting to know because you were not clear.....that is why details are very important in RP fights
[12:01 PM] Leigh Huet: so lets take that same example
[12:01 PM] Leigh Huet: but I am going to use Nicolie this time
[12:01 PM] Nicolie Luv: listens
[12:02 PM] Nicolie Luv: I hope I get used in a good way
[12:03 PM] Lady Leigh feels the anger flare within the fire in her eyes rises she reaches behind her with her right hand to throw the hot teapot on Nicolie's head.
[12:03 PM] Lady Leigh successfully harms Nicolie with a stellar success.
[12:03 PM] Leigh Huet: umm ok..as an ST is where I would call for d4's
[12:04 PM] Leigh Huet: the reason is to see how much damage was done to him and to myself
[12:04 PM] Leigh Huet: can anyone tell me why?
[12:04 PM] Patch Reina shrugs õ.ó
[12:05 PM] Leigh Huet: i could have thrown it so hard it rebound and hit me
[12:05 PM] Leigh Huet: or hot water came spashing on me
[12:06 PM] Leigh Huet: it is that momentem thing of physics
[12:06 PM] Nicolie With quick reflexes he moves as the teapot hits the wall, feeling the burn as the tea splashes on his skin turning to see heis not theo nly one being hit and burned with the hot tea as a few drops of liquid seem to have landed on Leigh.
[12:07 PM] Leigh Huet: ok that is where I would say you just godmodded my charater....why?
[12:07 PM] Nicolie Luv: yeah I see that after I hit enter
[12:07 PM] Nicolie Luv: because I said it landed on you
[12:07 PM] Nicolie Luv: and burned you
[12:07 PM] Leigh Huet: not only that you also disregarded that I got a stellar success that pot did hit your character
[12:08 PM] Leigh Huet: that would actually be a good narration for an ST if it was a critical fail
[12:09 PM] Leigh Huet: this is where respect for your fellow player comes in
[12:09 PM] Nicolie falls to the floor as the teapot hits his head the hot liquid dripping down his face as he lay there motionless being knocked temp unconcious.
[12:10 PM] Lady Leigh feels the pull from the muscle on her arm then sees the pot coming back at her trying to doge it as it lands at her feet the remainder of the contenst spalshing her and burning her skin
[12:10 PM] Usha Darkthorn: ok i have a question because you just had a stellar then he should have rolled a d4 right?
[12:10 PM] Leigh Huet: that gave me the opportunity to respond to my stellar knowing that I put more on it than I ment
[12:10 PM] Nicolie Luv: I think I was confused thinking stellar meant it didnt actually do what was intened but I see now that it means it did what it was intended and more.
[12:11 PM] Leigh Huet: yes if we had an ST
[12:11 PM] Usha Darkthorn: ok so without ST its not needed?
[12:11 PM] Leigh Huet: as it was just the two of us we could agree in IM that we would both do the d4 to see the amount of damage
[12:11 PM] Leigh Huet: he chose to not and RP his own outcome and I ablighed by respecting him and the roll by hurting myself
[12:12 PM] Usha Darkthorn: ah ok but i was told by someone that the d4 would decide how many rounds you could not attack but this is not true?
[12:12 PM] Usha Darkthorn: with a stellar
[12:12 PM] Usha Darkthorn: or crit fail
[12:12 PM] Leigh Huet: ok your mixing up info so let me clarify
[12:13 PM] Leigh Huet: d4 determin amount of damage or how much healing you got in a fight
[12:13 PM] Leigh Huet: 1=25% 4 = 100%
[12:13 PM] Leigh Huet: d6 is duration
[12:13 PM] Leigh Huet: so I rpd pulling the muscle in my right arm
[12:14 PM] Leigh Huet: I could then use a d6 to determin how many turns it might be basically useless
[12:14 PM] Leigh Huet: and turns mean full rounds
[12:14 PM] Usha Darkthorn: ah ok so same goes if i would freeze someone in a battle then they have to roll a d6?
[12:14 PM] Leigh Huet: so if I got a 6 then I would not be able to use my right arm for 6 full rounds
[12:15 PM] Crimson Sixpence: BAH! i gotta go. RL pullin me away. imma stay loggedo n so i can read this when i get back though
[12:15 PM] Leigh Huet: no in that respect we honor the state of the hud for one full turn because there could be more than just one person in the fight
[12:15 PM] Leigh Huet: ok Crimson and I will also post it on the websight
[12:15 PM] Leigh Huet: say you have 4 people in a RP fight
[12:16 PM] Leigh Huet: that freeze state stays in affect till it is their turn again
[12:16 PM] Leigh Huet: so say you were able to freeze me
[12:16 PM] Leigh Huet: my only reaction I can do on that turn is not being able to move
[12:17 PM] Leigh Huet: you have another turn to then harm me but on my next reaction I can now move and have an action
[12:17 PM] Usha Darkthorn: ok so he has to go one round without attacking? even when its just the 2 of us?
[12:17 PM] Leigh Huet: make sence?
[12:17 PM] Usha Darkthorn: yes it does
[12:17 PM] Leigh Huet: does everyone understand that?
[12:18 PM] Patch Reina nods.
[12:18 PM] Leigh Huet: we can do a practic e round...Usha go ahead and do your attempt and for this example will say that it did work ok?
[12:18 PM] Patch Reina: combat is complicated
[12:18 PM] Usha Darkthorn: ok
[12:20 PM] Usha was getting quite upset with leigh moving around the whole time and lifted her hand up in the air and gathered all the shadow she could in the palm of her hand and then pushed it forward to make it surround Leigh in attempt to paralyze her
[12:21 PM] Lady Leigh felt the binds of the shadows her eyes glaring at Usha unable to move or act so used what she could and said, "congradulations, you have me in one place now what?"
[12:23 PM] Usha grins a little and sits down quietly "hmmm i don't know maybe i will let you stay like this for awhile" she said curious to see how long she could keep leigh in that state
[12:26 PM] Lady Leigh began to feel it weaken "I am sure it is not as long as you would like" she used the time to gather her own energies and then smirked as she move her foot quickly with a leg sweep hoping to knock her off her feet.
[12:26 PM] Leigh Huet: and then I would use PvTarget harm and it continues
[12:26 PM] Leigh Huet: because she froze me I could only react not act
[12:26 PM] Usha Darkthorn: ok :)
[12:27 PM] Leigh Huet: so each turn you have your reaction to the roll and your attempted action
[12:27 PM] Nicolie Luv: question
[12:27 PM] Leigh Huet: Nicolie
[12:27 PM] Nicolie Luv: could you atempt to knock her off her feet if she was already sitting? or was it because she was sitting don slowy that you could
[12:28 PM] Leigh Huet: that was my fault and I did not act properly thank you
[12:28 PM] Nicolie Luv: attempt it
[12:28 PM] Usha Darkthorn: lol was actualy wondering that awell
[12:28 PM] Leigh Huet: that is what I get for skimming
[12:28 PM] Leigh Huet: my bad
[12:29 PM] Patch Reina: is there a way to defend against harm attempts>
[12:29 PM] Leigh Huet: your resistance is built into the roll Patch so if they failed that roll then you can say what is appropriate for the RP
[12:30 PM] Leigh Huet: in that case where I just messed up...she could say to me in IM ...I was sitting
[12:30 PM] Leigh Huet: and I would give the same reaction OOPS
[12:30 PM] Leigh Huet: and redo my post
[12:30 PM] Leigh Huet: in that case would be attempt to push the chair out from under her
[12:31 PM] Leigh Huet: so my appologies Usha for not fully reading and even points out how we all need to be sure we fully read the others post
[12:32 PM] Usha Darkthorn: lol its ok
[12:32 PM] Leigh Huet: if you do not get what you feel would be a proper responce...stay respectful and say nicely.....I think you misread
[12:32 PM] Leigh Huet: does this help everyone?
[12:33 PM] Leigh Huet: any other questions?
[12:33 PM] Patch Reina nods
[12:33 PM] Nicolie Luv: yes thank you leigh
[12:34 PM] Usha Darkthorn: yup
[12:34 PM] TriJin Bade raises his hand and asks, "If I cast /9HealThem on group chat, why won't it work?"
[12:34 PM] Usha Darkthorn: lol tri
[12:34 PM] Nicolie Luv: because there is no one targeted
[12:35 PM] Leigh Huet: ummm LL's doesn't care?
[12:35 PM] TriJin Bade fists across his chest in a swift gesture, "Shucks."
[12:35 PM] Leigh Huet: ok one parting thought
[12:35 PM] Leigh Huet: remember it is all for fun
[12:35 PM] Usha Darkthorn: you could try /9revivethem ?
[12:36 PM] Nicolie Luv: pretty sure that would be the same effect usha
[12:36 PM] Nicolie Luv: lol
[12:36 PM] Leigh Huet: yes you can get frustrated just remember we are all here to have fun and if you don't understand something or need clarification please don't hesitate to ask your fellow player...you didn't understand their post
[12:36 PM] TriJin Bade: I'll just have to make a bigger graveyard. :P
