(3 posts)-
[2011/09/13 20:04] Astrid (astrid.floresby): I am Astrid... and I'm an ST here at Legacies.... and I am immune to Artur.
[2011/09/13 20:04] Artur Lionheart de Morhban thinks "so she thinks"
[2011/09/13 20:04] Astrid (astrid.floresby): Why do we use dice in Legacies?
[2011/09/13 20:04] Furyo waves to Astrid, and chortles out something like would happen at an AA meeting: "Hiii Astrid.."
[2011/09/13 20:04] Lucifrage Rofcal (lucifrage.koray): wow... im immune to tom cruise's charms.
[2011/09/13 20:05] Furyo: "To determine success or failure of a potential action or situation's outcome"
[2011/09/13 20:05] Artur Lionheart: to have a random outcome to determe key critcal points of rp wehre randomess is a factor
[2011/09/13 20:05] Scooter Miles: To bring back the awe and appeal of old pen and paper:P
[2011/09/13 20:05] Tokiko Tigerpaw: To make us feel extra nerdy by using dice in a digital enviroment.
[2011/09/13 20:05] Mrs. Bunny Rofcal: "lol"
[2011/09/13 20:06] Furyo: "and because gambling isnt fun without dice"
[2011/09/13 20:06] Astrid (astrid.floresby): giggles... i like all those answers. Though... if this is like AA I have to be honest... I have never played pen & paper :3
[2011/09/13 20:06] Mrs. Bunny Rofcal: "to prevent godmodding"
[2011/09/13 20:06] Tokiko Tigerpaw: Thats okay.. noones gonna judge you here...
[2011/09/13 20:06] Artur Lionheart: I am
[2011/09/13 20:06] Astrid (astrid.floresby): I can deal with that.
[2011/09/13 20:06] Tokiko Tigerpaw: admitting it is the first step...
[2011/09/13 20:06] Astrid (astrid.floresby): LOL
[2011/09/13 20:06] Waymon Marenwolf: i would say fairness
[2011/09/13 20:07] Furyo: "Second step is finding faith in a higher power than yourself.. Like ST's!"
[2011/09/13 20:07] Tokiko Tigerpaw: Or caffeine.
[2011/09/13 20:07] Artur Lionheart: chickens. everyoen knows you must sacrifice a chicken to appease the dice gods
[2011/09/13 20:07] Mattrik Bellow: or gin?
[2011/09/13 20:08] Jun Akiro (zeke.laval): back
[2011/09/13 20:08] Astrid (astrid.floresby): So we use dice... for all of those reasons, it prevents godmodding, and provides a factor of chance. One thing I have found in Legacies, is that the dice often provides an outlet for you to stretch your creativity further
[2011/09/13 20:08] Furyo eyes Luci: "Or sacrificing a.. *gulps*..rat
[2011/09/13 20:08] Jun Akiro (zeke.laval): and shocked ureve never played pen and paaper
[2011/09/13 20:08] Artur Lionheart de Morhban turns to Waymoon. "My my my you are a fine speciem of a Drow, why don't you come back to my poffices and we cna have a bottle of fae wine and you cna see the etchings there.
[2011/09/13 20:08] Artur Lionheart de Morhban focuses on their expert skill of Persuasion, successfully performs a mental influence on Waymon ( Elaug'Aereagh De'Rahle ).
[2011/09/13 20:09] Artur Lionheart: ta da
[2011/09/13 20:09] Astrid (astrid.floresby): Please refrain from using the dice until later :P
[2011/09/13 20:09] Waymon Marenwolf: good call with the fae wine to
[2011/09/13 20:09] Artur Lionheart: k
[2011/09/13 20:09] Waymon Marenwolf applauds
[2011/09/13 20:09] Astrid (astrid.floresby): should have said that earlier
[2011/09/13 20:09] Waymon Marenwolf: it was a good rp though
[2011/09/13 20:10] Artur Lionheart: I still get to show Waymon my etchigns though, right?
[2011/09/13 20:10] Waymon Marenwolf: lol
[2011/09/13 20:10] Astrid (astrid.floresby): Everything we RP here is an attempt and lets face it, just like RL, sometimes, we miss.
[2011/09/13 20:10] Astrid (astrid.floresby) whispers... later
[2011/09/13 20:10] Astrid (astrid.floresby): The great thing about the LaRPS dice roll system is that you can use it to roll for just about scenario.
[2011/09/13 20:10] Furyo: "sometimes, like trying to gain someone's affections, we suffer a critical miss, and it backlashes at us.."
[2011/09/13 20:11] Astrid (astrid.floresby): I use the dice for Astrid making tea, stealing food off the other Sebastion's plate, or reading people's emotions.
[2011/09/13 20:11] Tokiko Tigerpaw tries to scratch her arse, suffers a critical miss, and tears herself a new one.
[2011/09/13 20:11] Astrid (astrid.floresby): ouchies
[2011/09/13 20:11] Serenity (serenity.catronis): lol
[2011/09/13 20:12] Astrid (astrid.floresby): You do not have to use the dice in your everyday RP, but the LaRPS is like the AI for your character and the more you incorporate the use of the dice rolls and skills into your RP, the more the system will develop with your character.
[2011/09/13 20:12] Furyo: "I used it earlier to determine if i could connect one piece of information with key elements of discovery I had made in past rp scenarios"
[2011/09/13 20:12] Astrid (astrid.floresby): mmhmm that too... I was using them to try to plan a wedding... kept missing ....
[2011/09/13 20:13] Furyo: "awww.. super sad face for you"
[2011/09/13 20:13] Astrid (astrid.floresby): And now with the added feature of skills, the LaRPS now weights your ability of the skill against the dice roll.
[2011/09/13 20:13] Mrs. Bunny Rofcal: "awww"
[2011/09/13 20:13] Artur Lionheart: a female bad a wedding planning. no wonder the LARPS server crashed
[2011/09/13 20:13] Tokiko Tigerpaw: So, if you have a high rating in a skill, its success chances increase?
[2011/09/13 20:13] Lucifrage Rofcal (lucifrage.koray): me too i keep trying to find someone ic to remarry bunny and myself and exploring legal options.....
[2011/09/13 20:13] Astrid (astrid.floresby): yes Tokiko
[2011/09/13 20:13] Tokiko Tigerpaw: Do they influence abilities as well?
[2011/09/13 20:14] Astrid (astrid.floresby): some of them do... for instance /9hide and stealth
[2011/09/13 20:14] Lucifrage Rofcal focuses on their practiced skill of English Common Law, misses in performing a mental discovery on the environment.
[2011/09/13 20:14] Tokiko Tigerpaw: oO hide? theres a new one.. i didnt even know about
[2011/09/13 20:14] Lucifrage Rofcal (lucifrage.koray): hmm i don't smell a marrage celebrant!
[2011/09/13 20:14] Mrs. Bunny Rofcal: "D:"
[2011/09/13 20:14] Tokiko Tigerpaw: yay for education.
[2011/09/13 20:15] Astrid (astrid.floresby): .... /9hide will increase your stealth skill as well as if your stealth skill is higher, it will make it more difficult for others to sense you
[2011/09/13 20:15] Astrid (astrid.floresby): which is /9sense ;-)
[2011/09/13 20:15] Mrs. Bunny Rofcal hides from view.
[2011/09/13 20:15] Tokiko Tigerpaw: jesus just how many 9 commands are there

[2011/09/13 20:15] Tokiko hides from view.
[2011/09/13 20:15] Furyo: "ooh... I need to practice sense then"
[2011/09/13 20:15] Jun Akiro (zeke.laval): i dont think ive activated any of these things
[2011/09/13 20:15] Mrs. Bunny Rofcal: "is there a list of these?"
[2011/09/13 20:15] Mrs. Bunny Rofcal performs Inner Eye on themself.
[2011/09/13 20:16] Tokiko performs Inner Eye on themself.
[2011/09/13 20:16] Astrid (astrid.floresby): lots... and yes... the abilities page on the larps page
[2011/09/13 20:16] Mrs. Bunny Rofcal: "neat!"
[2011/09/13 20:16] Mrs. Bunny Rofcal reappears from their hiding place.
[2011/09/13 20:16] Astrid (astrid.floresby): http://larps.net/spells.php
[2011/09/13 20:16] Tokiko Tigerpaw: i dug trough those, but hides a new one to me
[2011/09/13 20:16] Mrs. Bunny Rofcal: "Thank you"
[2011/09/13 20:16] Scooter Miles: May I toss out a hint?
[2011/09/13 20:16] Mrs. Bunny Rofcal: "oh yes i saw those"
[2011/09/13 20:16] Astrid (astrid.floresby): or.... you can go to your character sheet... because you gain more abilities with each level
[2011/09/13 20:17] Mrs. Bunny Rofcal: "but are there more like... uh /9 thingies than just on this page?"
[2011/09/13 20:17] Astrid (astrid.floresby): and that will tell you what your character actually has the abilties for
[2011/09/13 20:17] Tokiko reappears from their hiding place.
[2011/09/13 20:17] Furyo: "ooh, i've used sense before"
[2011/09/13 20:17] Mrs. Bunny Rofcal: "because there was /9make spade yesterday i learned"
[2011/09/13 20:17] Astrid (astrid.floresby): http://larps.net/lc/forum/player-manual
[2011/09/13 20:17] Mrs. Bunny Rofcal: "and that's not on here"
[2011/09/13 20:17] Mrs. Bunny Rofcal: "ah Thank you"
[2011/09/13 20:17] Lucifrage Rofcal (lucifrage.koray): ..senses a giant pickle....
[2011/09/13 20:18] Mrs. Bunny Rofcal protects her hubby from giant pickle
[2011/09/13 20:18] Astrid (astrid.floresby): http://larps.net/lc/topic/larps-shortcuts
[2011/09/13 20:18] Astrid (astrid.floresby): those are some links for you ...
[2011/09/13 20:19] Astrid (astrid.floresby): the players manual is a work in progress and has lots of info if youre still getting aquainted with LaRPS
[2011/09/13 20:19] LaRPS Meter v0.25: ((Serenity Catronis's meter has been detached.))
[2011/09/13 20:20] Astrid (astrid.floresby): and scooter you were going to say something?
[2011/09/13 20:20] LaRPS Meter v0.25: ((Serenity Catronis's meter has been detached.))
[2011/09/13 20:20] Astrid (astrid.floresby): meeps! hi bright dragon!
[2011/09/13 20:20] Scooter Miles: If you are going to go out and practice your skillst that are with the larps system, make sure you are putting them to real use. Just spamming will make your abilites decrease instead of improve
[2011/09/13 20:21] Lucifrage Rofcal (lucifrage.koray): why is this, out of curiosity and newness to the system is all...
[2011/09/13 20:21] Astrid (astrid.floresby): rolling without a /2 RP post before will actually decrease your chance of success. Just learned that today!
[2011/09/13 20:22] Lucifrage Rofcal (lucifrage.koray): ah.
[2011/09/13 20:22] Furyo: "from me i take it?"
[2011/09/13 20:22] Astrid (astrid.floresby): because this is designed to be a true RP system. to develop as your character develops... not just gain a ton of skills thing
[2011/09/13 20:22] Furyo: "i was missing left and right"
[2011/09/13 20:23] Lucifrage Rofcal (lucifrage.koray): i just assumed that was to, you know, validate the skill use is all, thanks.
[2011/09/13 20:23] Scooter Miles: for me it was heal, when I was in combat with zombies/rats I could see my healing get better. As I practiced a bit out of combat, my heal totals started to go down since I wasn't actually harmed at the time
[2011/09/13 20:23] Astrid (astrid.floresby): heh... nope... tri told me that. before i was RPing with you
[2011/09/13 20:23] LaRPS Meter v0.25: ((Serenity Catronis's meter has been detached.))
[2011/09/13 20:23] Furyo: "ahhh"
[2011/09/13 20:23] Furyo: "speaking of such lines Astrid"
[2011/09/13 20:23] Astrid (astrid.floresby): yessss?
[2011/09/13 20:23] LaRPS HUD v0.25.4 :: 15 AUG 2011: ((Serenity Catronis is attaching a new HUD))
[2011/09/13 20:24] Furyo: "I learned today that it's improper to roll before your post, and can potentially be seen as a godmodding effort"
[2011/09/13 20:24] Lucifrage Rofcal (lucifrage.koray): ounds fair...
[2011/09/13 20:24] Furyo: "always post first, roll after"
[2011/09/13 20:24] Astrid (astrid.floresby): yes. our guidline is you post first, because everything is an attempt. then you roll
[2011/09/13 20:25] Lucifrage Rofcal (lucifrage.koray): and the post before gives opponents a heads up to counter and such roll too, right?
[2011/09/13 20:25] Tokiko Tigerpaw: I am curious to one thing... i notice that for some things im guaranteed to suceed almost 90+% others im almost guaranteed to fail (under 10%) and i cant for the life of me figure out why
[2011/09/13 20:25] Furyo: "just my luck, my rolls kept failing when i was doing it wrong.. didnt get success til i did it in the proper order.. strange, but true"
[2011/09/13 20:25] Astrid (astrid.floresby): heh, nothing is ever guaranteed is it Artur???
[2011/09/13 20:26] Lucifrage Rofcal (lucifrage.koray): in rp, someone posted a thrown flame and rolled, the i did an opposing flame guard spell and rolled, it was quite epic and made sense of the skills and dice, so i agree in this practice making sense.
[2011/09/13 20:26] Artur Lionheart: hey I won that roll with yopu, you ran off :)
[2011/09/13 20:26] Astrid (astrid.floresby): lol... i was thinking of that blasted ward we did :P
[2011/09/13 20:26] Artur Lionheart: oh that
[2011/09/13 20:26] Tokiko Tigerpaw: its been like that ever since i started.
[2011/09/13 20:26] Artur Lionheart: that memory got destroyed with lots of rum
[2011/09/13 20:27] Waymon Marenwolf: i have sliped in the mud and could not stand up for over 8 turns befor and use to use the hud aginst its self with a black powder keg .. which i dont think i will do now the hud is diffrent lol
[2011/09/13 20:28] Astrid (astrid.floresby): and luci... keep in mind that your opponents defences are figured into the roll result. Now, if they throw a fire ball at you, and succeed... they've thrown it at you, you can't counter that. But how you react can be different.
[2011/09/13 20:28] Furyo: "I have found that the more you use a particular type of focus, the more you lose focus with another.. for instance, I use discovery alot on self, because I am a thinker. In response, my skills with say.. discovery of environment decrease.. or something like that"
[2011/09/13 20:28] Lucifrage Rofcal (lucifrage.koray): oh they failed in that inital roll of theres.
[2011/09/13 20:28] Lucifrage Rofcal (lucifrage.koray): hense i replied with a fire sdesheild, but, ok :-)
[2011/09/13 20:28] Astrid (astrid.floresby): ah... okies... that was another point i was going to make anyway :)
[2011/09/13 20:29] Astrid (astrid.floresby): does anyone here not know how focus skills??
[2011/09/13 20:29] Astrid (astrid.floresby): *how to
[2011/09/13 20:29] Длҭїϙυᴧгїᴧᴫ (ark.kytori): i dont
[2011/09/13 20:30] Jun Akiro (zeke.laval): i dont even what that question means
[2011/09/13 20:30] Astrid (astrid.floresby): ok, no problem :)
[2011/09/13 20:30] Astrid (astrid.floresby): You can build your skills with your dice rolls. To do this, your character must be focusing on a skill when making their attempt.The names and a short description of all of the available skills currently are here: http://larps.net/skills_and_professions.php
[2011/09/13 20:31] Tokiko Tigerpaw: does the skill focused on have to be related to what youre doing?
[2011/09/13 20:31] Astrid (astrid.floresby): To focus a skill in the LaRPS you can use /9use name of skill
[2011/09/13 20:31] Astrid (astrid.floresby): yes.
[2011/09/13 20:31] Tokiko Tigerpaw: So for healing
[2011/09/13 20:31] Tokiko Tigerpaw: i first gotta focus on healing
[2011/09/13 20:31] Tokiko Tigerpaw: before i make a roll?
[2011/09/13 20:31] Tokiko Tigerpaw: RPwise i mean
[2011/09/13 20:31] Astrid (astrid.floresby): If you are using /9healme or /9healthem no... it automatically builds the skill
[2011/09/13 20:32] Lucifrage Rofcal (lucifrage.koray): i dont want to think what would hapen if you used necromancy to heal? XD
[2011/09/13 20:32] Tokiko Tigerpaw: No, what i mean is. okay stupid eample..
[2011/09/13 20:32] Astrid (astrid.floresby): BUT if you are studying methods of healing, or want to us the dice with an assist, yes
[2011/09/13 20:32] Tokiko Tigerpaw: i got "Deep Sea Fishing" focused
[2011/09/13 20:32] Tokiko Tigerpaw: and suddenly im rolling for , say combat
[2011/09/13 20:32] Astrid (astrid.floresby): mmhmm
[2011/09/13 20:32] Tokiko Tigerpaw: do i have to switch to combat first
[2011/09/13 20:32] Tokiko Tigerpaw: or can i just keep the focus where it is
[2011/09/13 20:32] Artur Lionheart: straling of life force to give to another. many healing spels aer actualy necromany in orgin. raise dead for example
[2011/09/13 20:33] Astrid (astrid.floresby): yes unless you are casting a line to your opponenet, you would need to change your focus
[2011/09/13 20:33] Rune Shen'Lung (rune.crimson): Would kind of be redundent to build a fishing skill when fighting someone would it not?
[2011/09/13 20:33] Tokiko Tigerpaw: okay thanks
[2011/09/13 20:33] Lucifrage Rofcal (lucifrage.koray): enviroment i guess.. unless you can target a mermais!
[2011/09/13 20:33] Tokiko Tigerpaw: so , rolling is actually dependant on the focused skill
[2011/09/13 20:33] Lucifrage Rofcal (lucifrage.koray): mermaid*
[2011/09/13 20:34] Astrid (astrid.floresby): so, you use /9use name of skill... the names are on that link i gave you
[2011/09/13 20:34] Astrid (astrid.floresby): For example, Astrid is an empath. When she is trying to read someone's emotions I focus by using /9use Mind Reading
[2011/09/13 20:34] Rune Shen'Lung (rune.crimson): You can focus on Nothing and still Roll if you are doing something there is no skill for right Astrid?
[2011/09/13 20:35] Astrid (astrid.floresby): yes, /9use nothing will make you "unfocused"
[2011/09/13 20:35] Waymon Marenwolf: i am unfocused all the time
[2011/09/13 20:35] Lucifrage Rofcal (lucifrage.koray): if you are unfocused, will it auto chose the best skill?
[2011/09/13 20:36] Artur Lionheart de Morhban uses his pwoer over winter to try to get the winds to blow up Astrid's skirt
[2011/09/13 20:36] Jun Akiro (zeke.laval): im pretty infocuesed right now, im not following this that well
[2011/09/13 20:36] Astrid (astrid.floresby): [15:45] Astrid focuses on nothing in particular.
[2011/09/13 20:36] Astrid (astrid.floresby): I actually did that early
[2011/09/13 20:36] Rune Shen'Lung (rune.crimson): No Luci it will not.
[2011/09/13 20:36] Astrid (astrid.floresby): earlier
[2011/09/13 20:36] Artur Lionheart de Morhban focuses on their expert skill of Elemental, successfully performs a physical influence on Astrid.
[2011/09/13 20:36] Astrid (astrid.floresby) glares at Art...
[2011/09/13 20:36] Tokiko Tigerpaw: How "often" do you roll. FIshing again.. do i roll for every time i cast out the line, just once.. hows it work?
[2011/09/13 20:36] Длҭїϙυᴧгїᴧᴫ (ark.kytori): LOLZ arthur
[2011/09/13 20:36] Artur Lionheart: see focus of Elemental!
[2011/09/13 20:36] Astrid (astrid.floresby): sorry Zeke, trying to answer everyones questions... do you have a question??
[2011/09/13 20:37] Lucifrage Rofcal (lucifrage.koray): um, then, pardon my asking, why would the focus have a "neutral gear" like that, am i missing something?
[2011/09/13 20:37] Tokiko Tigerpaw: too many attempts on the same thing could be seen as trying to force an outcome wouldnt they?
[2011/09/13 20:38] Длҭїϙυᴧгїᴧᴫ (ark.kytori): Lucifrage... are you always thinking? is your mind always focused on what it is you wish to be doing? or do you pause and let youself wander in thought? that is the point of hte "not focused" mode
[2011/09/13 20:38] Jun Akiro (zeke.laval): i dont uderstand hat evryone mens by focus i ahvent focused anything
[2011/09/13 20:38] Ark smiles
[2011/09/13 20:38] Serenity (serenity.catronis): i dont understand either
[2011/09/13 20:39] Legacies 1891 - Orientation proudly welcomes Mattrik Bellow who has gone through the complete Orientation Pack and has become the newest Role Playing Citizen :)
[2011/09/13 20:39] Astrid (astrid.floresby): That is up to each player. You by no mean have to roll dice for each thing you do. However, if you are actively /2 RPing your fishing, it won't hurt anything to roll
[2011/09/13 20:40] Astrid (astrid.floresby): ok... let me back a little bit.
[2011/09/13 20:40] Astrid (astrid.floresby): the LaRPS system has skills built in that you can now learn
[2011/09/13 20:41] Astrid (astrid.floresby): one way to build those skills is by using the dice rolls
[2011/09/13 20:42] Furyo: "sorry, Astrid stated about mind reading as an empath.. i realized i had not yet started with that as one of my desired focuses.. lol"
[2011/09/13 20:42] Astrid (astrid.floresby): when I say "focus" what I mean is in order to build those skills using the dice, your character needs to focus on something
[2011/09/13 20:43] Jun Akiro (zeke.laval): is it the same as target?
[2011/09/13 20:43] Astrid (astrid.floresby): let's say your a tinkerer.... when your working on something you might say focus on clockwork
[2011/09/13 20:43] Astrid (astrid.floresby): no
[2011/09/13 20:43] Furyo: "to train, you must focus. to grow you must train. to succeed, you must grow"
[2011/09/13 20:43] Lucifrage Rofcal (lucifrage.koray): a study of the subject and practice of the skill of, say, elementalisim and trying to light a candle with will at the start? like that?
[2011/09/13 20:44] Astrid (astrid.floresby): it's more like what discipline your character is using to influence their action
[2011/09/13 20:45] Lord Rune Shen'Lung intakes a breath and lets out a breath of pure shadow smoke he focuses on the smoke and attempts it to form into a imp looking creature.
[2011/09/13 20:45] LaRPS HUD v0.25.4 :: 15 AUG 2011: ((Silverhand Autopoiesis is attaching a new HUD))
[2011/09/13 20:45] Lord Rune Shen'Lung focuses on their practiced skill of Nexology, misses in performing a supernatural presence on the environment.
[2011/09/13 20:45] Astrid (astrid.floresby): for instance... going back to Astrid's empath ability.... Let's say I want to read Artur's emotions.
[2011/09/13 20:45] Lord Rune Shen'Lung grumbles as the black smoke puffs out like a small fire.
[2011/09/13 20:46] Artur Lionheart: psshhhh liek that is hard. pride and groagance through and through
[2011/09/13 20:46] Astrid (astrid.floresby): lol shhhh
[2011/09/13 20:46] Artur Lionheart: arogance
[2011/09/13 20:46] Furyo: "my best personal example, is that I have been doing an investigative line of exploration. When I am thinking about something, trying to piece information together, I put my focus to Deeper Thinking before i post and roll. When I am analyzing a situation or my theory, to put that theory into fact, I switch my focus to Logic before I post and roll"
[2011/09/13 20:47] Astrid (astrid.floresby): so... when astrid is trying to read his emotions... she would focus on her personal abiltiy to be able to do that so I would say /9use Mind Reading
[2011/09/13 20:47] Astrid (astrid.floresby): Now, I would still target him as he is the one i'm attempting to read.
[2011/09/13 20:47] Astrid (astrid.floresby): But my mind isn't void ... I'm focused on the skill.
[2011/09/13 20:48] Astrid (astrid.floresby): does that make sense?
[2011/09/13 20:48] Jun Akiro (zeke.laval): so that /9use is the focus part then its target dice roll (or self/envorment ) then the spficis?
[2011/09/13 20:48] Jun Akiro (zeke.laval): magic physical etc.what ever it is your trying to do?
[2011/09/13 20:49] Astrid (astrid.floresby): yes
[2011/09/13 20:49] Astrid (astrid.floresby): exactly!
[2011/09/13 20:49] Usagi Vyper: here is how i approach skills. When i do something i ask myself.. am i really trying, or do i not care.. If I'm really trying, then i focus.. if I'm not really trying, or don't care, then i don't focus.
[2011/09/13 20:49] Serenity (serenity.catronis): makes sense
[2011/09/13 20:49] Lucifrage Rofcal (lucifrage.koray): would you be able to say, combine skills, such as, use read body language skill after mind reading failed?
[2011/09/13 20:50] Astrid (astrid.floresby): on your next turn with follow up RP absolutely
[2011/09/13 20:50] Furyo: "The specifics you mention Jun, are what method you are using your focus on, whether it's a physical nature, magical nature, or mental nature"
[2011/09/13 20:50] Astrid (astrid.floresby): i'm getting to that in a minute furyo
[2011/09/13 20:50] Astrid (astrid.floresby): ^_^
[2011/09/13 20:51] Furyo: "hehe. sorry Miss Astrid"
[2011/09/13 20:51] Dr. Sebastion Muircastle smiles and checks his bag to see if he still has the chloroform, give Astrid an innocent look.
[2011/09/13 20:52] Astrid (astrid.floresby): chuckles...
[2011/09/13 20:52] Furyo focuses their skill of shutting the hell up
[2011/09/13 20:52] Astrid (astrid.floresby): When you click the dice, which is the blue gem looking thing on the right side of your HUD you are asked a series of three questions. Think of these of the as the WHO, the HOW, and the WHAT of what your attempt is.
[2011/09/13 20:52] Tokiko Tigerpaw: thats the part thats the trickiest i think.. deciding when to use what
[2011/09/13 20:52] Ark: ((Ark Kytori rolls a d100. Result is 81))
[2011/09/13 20:53] Lord Rune Shen'Lung: ((Rune Crimson rolls a d100. Result is 43))
[2011/09/13 20:53] Длҭїϙυᴧгїᴧᴫ (ark.kytori): yay
[2011/09/13 20:53] Rune Shen'Lung (rune.crimson): dammit
[2011/09/13 20:53] Rune Shen'Lung (rune.crimson): lol
[2011/09/13 20:53] Artur Lionheart: Senastian, Astrid said she wasn't removing her dress for no one, not whens he spent an hour on the skirts. I would take that as a personal challenge mate
[2011/09/13 20:53] Astrid (astrid.floresby): ... so , you've made your /2 RP attempt... you've focused your mind on a skill...
[2011/09/13 20:53] Furyo attempts to roll a self physical assist, and gets a stellar result, falling silent immediately after
[2011/09/13 20:54] Furyo: "lol"
[2011/09/13 20:54] Serenity: ((Serenity Catronis rolls a d12. Result is 8))
[2011/09/13 20:54] Astrid (astrid.floresby): *gets a teacher face* please hold off on the dice rolls
[2011/09/13 20:54] Длҭїϙυᴧгїᴧᴫ (ark.kytori): LOLZ teacher face... thats one hawt teatcher face... *shuts up now*
[2011/09/13 20:54] Sebastion Muircastle: I don't usually ask but I always treat her with respect especially in class
[2011/09/13 20:55] Astrid (astrid.floresby): FIRST - The focus of your intended action, the WHOIs the focus of your attempt a Target (Another character? an NPC?) the Environment (area around the character, a box, a chair, etc.) or Self (Yourself)?
[2011/09/13 20:56] Astrid (astrid.floresby): so yes... there is two focuses... confusing i know
[2011/09/13 20:56] Astrid (astrid.floresby): one is the ability and the other is the target.
[2011/09/13 20:57] Tokiko Tigerpaw: So.. say i want to move in front of someone to block their way. is that enviroment or target?
[2011/09/13 20:58] Astrid (astrid.floresby): the action is moving yourself...
[2011/09/13 20:58] Astrid (astrid.floresby): So I would say self.
[2011/09/13 20:58] Mateem (mateem.batistuta): Actually? May I interject?
[2011/09/13 20:58] Tokiko Tigerpaw: interesting....
[2011/09/13 20:58] Astrid (astrid.floresby): sure matty
[2011/09/13 20:59] Usagi Vyper: not presence ?
[2011/09/13 20:59] Sloan: ((Sloan McCoy has entered the area.))
[2011/09/13 20:59] Furyo: "I would think that would be a self, physical, presence"
[2011/09/13 20:59] Andie: ((Andie Ashbourne has entered the area.))
[2011/09/13 20:59] Sebastion Muircastle: There might be a few right answers to that one
[2011/09/13 20:59] Astrid (astrid.floresby): mmhmm
[2011/09/13 20:59] Furyo: "Or even a self, physical, assist"
[2011/09/13 20:59] Sloan is here?
[2011/09/13 21:00] Mateem (mateem.batistuta): I would actually say because the other person could say step lightly around, or avoid being blocked based on their stats, it would be fairest to have it as a Physical > Target > Presence
[2011/09/13 21:00] Astrid (astrid.floresby): whispers (Target / Physical / Presence)
[2011/09/13 21:00] Lucifrage Rofcal (lucifrage.koray): *spots the newcomers* "i'll make a nc for what you two missed so far at end of class..."
[2011/09/13 21:00] Astrid (astrid.floresby): hmm... good point matty -
[2011/09/13 21:01] Astrid (astrid.floresby): I'll be posting the class as well :)
[2011/09/13 21:01] Sebastion Muircastle: WEouldn't stepping around be THEIR action and not yours? Wouldn't that make it their roll?
[2011/09/13 21:01] Furyo: "But Wait"
[2011/09/13 21:01] Lucifrage Rofcal (lucifrage.koray): oh yors will do nicly, sorry , just being helpful, back to learning...
[2011/09/13 21:01] Mateem (mateem.batistuta): Not exactly. It would depend on the situation.
[2011/09/13 21:01] Furyo: "Doing Target, physical, assist, would be more like using THEM as a shield, rather than yourself to shield them"
[2011/09/13 21:01] LaRPS HUD: :::: Ark Kytori :::: wonder if anyone listens
[2011/09/13 21:01] Ark: ((other language)): airle ot airle ad
[2011/09/13 21:02] Tokiko Tigerpaw smirks "it puzzled me too.. i IMed the person and we decided on a physical grapple
[2011/09/13 21:02] Mateem (mateem.batistuta): Say someone is stepping into the doorway to keep someone from leaving who's getting up from a chair, then yes, that would be environment.
[2011/09/13 21:02] Mateem (mateem.batistuta): But say they're about to bust their way out the door, and your char is gonna try and stop them
[2011/09/13 21:02] Mateem (mateem.batistuta): THEN it's a Target roll
[2011/09/13 21:02] Usagi Vyper: because it effects everyone, not ust one person?
[2011/09/13 21:03] Astrid (astrid.floresby): laughs... in other words... try to think of the best option in the RP you are in
[2011/09/13 21:03] Mateem (mateem.batistuta): Because in the first instance, you're just manipulating your character's presence in the environment.
[2011/09/13 21:04] Mateem (mateem.batistuta): In the second instance, you're manipulating your character's presence DIRECTLY against another character
[2011/09/13 21:04] Mateem (mateem.batistuta): Does that make sense?
[2011/09/13 21:04] Usagi Vyper: yes
[2011/09/13 21:04] Lucifrage Rofcal (lucifrage.koray): yep, well to me anyhow...
[2011/09/13 21:04] Astrid (astrid.floresby): ok the second part of the dice roll -
[2011/09/13 21:04] Astrid (astrid.floresby): SECOND - The Method, or HOW you are performing the intended action.Is it Physical - is it based on your character's strenth - e.g. moving something with your hands, slapping your lover for cheating...)
Is the method Mental - does it draw from the wisdom, intelligence and other mind states of the character? Psi abilities, empath abilities?
Or Magical - are you using a supernatural ability?
[2011/09/13 21:05] Mateem (mateem.batistuta): So yes, as Astrid said, it all depends on the situation. And if there's any questions, please, do not hesitate to ask an ST, or request that they just hang out and watch the scene for guidance.
[2011/09/13 21:06] Ark: "im happy im passive, dont really need anything for combat..."
[2011/09/13 21:06] Furyo: "Yes yes, ST's are very good for guidance. They've helped me greatly in the times i've been in the presence of them. Great lot, they are"
[2011/09/13 21:06] Diemas Shinn raises wing
[2011/09/13 21:06] Astrid (astrid.floresby): .... are there any questions on the method?
[2011/09/13 21:06] Astrid (astrid.floresby): yes diemas?
[2011/09/13 21:07] Diemas Shinn: the avi Diemas i use like hypnosis is that mental or magic?
[2011/09/13 21:07] Tokiko Tigerpaw: I always kinda feel bad about bugging a ST for questions like these <.<
[2011/09/13 21:07] Rune Shen'Lung (rune.crimson): Why toki thats what they are there for
[2011/09/13 21:07] Furyo: "wouldnt that depend on the nature of your character, whether they are magical or intellectual/influential?"
[2011/09/13 21:08] Astrid (astrid.floresby): Most of the time, I would say mental Diemas. However, if you were casting an enchantment spell... I would say magical
[2011/09/13 21:08] Длҭїϙυᴧгїᴧᴫ (ark.kytori): LOLZ i ask anyone whos around usualy... im new to this Rping thing...
[2011/09/13 21:08] Tokiko Tigerpaw: Cause i figure they wanna RP too now and then ;)
[2011/09/13 21:08] Diemas Shinn: ok thank you
[2011/09/13 21:08] Astrid (astrid.floresby): lol... once in awhile ;-)
[2011/09/13 21:08] Rune Shen'Lung (rune.crimson): Holy cow ANDIE!
[2011/09/13 21:08] Furyo: "then again, if they're oldfashioned and use a stopwatch or physical item to induce hypnosis, it may be physical"
[2011/09/13 21:09] Mateem (mateem.batistuta): It depends again on 1) Your character's aim (IE is it for their mind or soul) 2) How you're doing it.
[2011/09/13 21:09] Andie Ashbourne: Hey hey!
[2011/09/13 21:09] Jun Akiro (zeke.laval): i have a question
[2011/09/13 21:09] Astrid (astrid.floresby): yes zeke??
[2011/09/13 21:10] Mateem (mateem.batistuta): That would actually be still mental Furyo since 1) The aim is at the mind 2) it requires knowledge of the objects to carry out the desired purpose
[2011/09/13 21:10] Furyo: "Ah, very good point Mateem! :)"
[2011/09/13 21:10] Lucifrage Rofcal (lucifrage.koray): my habit is, admittedly a hang over from the last rp sim chain, that calling a GM oft incurs wrath at disturbing them, and I admit, some from the same place as me might have similar worries, as, the GM's there were a little on the unfair and biased side... althought here i have seen nothing but help and goodwill from the ST's so far :-D
[2011/09/13 21:10] Astrid (astrid.floresby): i(it's not the stopwatch itself that's doing it after all)
[2011/09/13 21:11] Jun Akiro (zeke.laval): i understand for example i wanna melt somes face with zazor beams with me eyes, all the focus the rolls etc, but say i wann a like make a cup of tea, would i then need to roll, or could that be somthing i just know to do, or like play the piano, does my charcter know that with out having to roll it, or would i have to roll evry time i sit down to play?
[2011/09/13 21:11] Furyo: "true true, it's the influence of the mental perception"
[2011/09/13 21:11] Astrid (astrid.floresby): You don't have to roll for it zeke
[2011/09/13 21:11] Astrid (astrid.floresby): But...
[2011/09/13 21:12] Rune Shen'Lung (rune.crimson): Some people do to help out stats sometimes but I wonder if thats just prefrance
[2011/09/13 21:12] Usagi Vyper: playing an instrument is in the skill list actually.
[2011/09/13 21:12] Astrid (astrid.floresby): Just because you make tea doesn't mean once in awhile you won't get a scald from hot water
[2011/09/13 21:12] Furyo: "lol. anyone can make tea.. but question is, how successful is the tea that you make at being the correct steeping? lol"
[2011/09/13 21:12] Astrid (astrid.floresby): and yes, if you want to build your instrument playing skill, you would want to roll
[2011/09/13 21:13] Rune Shen'Lung (rune.crimson): You can use the cooking skill to make Tea!
[2011/09/13 21:13] Astrid (astrid.floresby): but it's up to you
[2011/09/13 21:13] Rune Shen'Lung (rune.crimson): lol
[2011/09/13 21:13] Astrid (astrid.floresby): it's your RP
[2011/09/13 21:13] Lucifrage Rofcal (lucifrage.koray): i know a few fussy tea drinkers, so making tea for someone else could be very hit or miss!
[2011/09/13 21:13] Astrid (astrid.floresby): your character
[2011/09/13 21:13] Mateem (mateem.batistuta): It's not necessary... but yes, as Rune said you actually might want to! Have you had a chance to check out the skills list? Sometimes, speaking as someone who's both played music RL and brewed tea RL you can very well end up screwing it up. It's a way to add a touch of realism to your character, interest to your RP.
[2011/09/13 21:13] Usagi Vyper: i have an example.... If I'm making dinner for myself, i don't roll.. cause it's just not important.. but if i was making tea for someone i wanted to impress.. I'd roll 'caise it was important.
[2011/09/13 21:14] Furyo: "Question, unrelated.. WHO IS SHOOTING?? It is very distracting"
[2011/09/13 21:14] Mateem (mateem.batistuta): Very good example, Usagi.
[2011/09/13 21:14] Tokiko Tigerpaw wishes there were cooking skills *hinthint*
[2011/09/13 21:14] Astrid (astrid.floresby): coming soon, promise tokiko
[2011/09/13 21:14] Jun Akiro (zeke.laval): i understand if i am infulencing a player or npc in some way the need to roll, but if the object is not a livng thing ....then how far do you go, by that definition, yes i make tea i make burn my self, but then do i need to roll evrytime i take a step incase i trip and fall, is there a cut off point, or is it just genreal sense, and then what becomes somthing the charcter can do naturally, rather then somthing he must roll evrytime
[2011/09/13 21:14] Usagi Vyper: shere is a cooking skill.
[2011/09/13 21:14] Astrid (astrid.floresby): nah... again that's up to you zeke
[2011/09/13 21:15] Jun Akiro (zeke.laval): nods so there is no set hard line, its just personal prefrence
[2011/09/13 21:15] Rune Shen'Lung (rune.crimson): I think the best thing to do is not worry so much about rolls as the RP...use the rolls and meter to inhence yer RP
[2011/09/13 21:15] Jun Akiro (zeke.laval): nods
[2011/09/13 21:15] Mateem (mateem.batistuta): The only place we do set a hard line is for when it effects the environment or another character.
[2011/09/13 21:15] Astrid (astrid.floresby): yes. that was what I meant earlier. You don't have to roll for everyday RP. But sometimes, adding it in adds some extra fun, and might open your RP up to something you never thought of
[2011/09/13 21:15] Mateem (mateem.batistuta): IE, stealing, cleaning, healing, dying another's hair pink...
[2011/09/13 21:16] Rune Shen'Lung (rune.crimson): In most meter RPs people worry so much about the meter that the RP suffers...I have found here that it is the oppisite.
[2011/09/13 21:16] Astrid (astrid.floresby) braids Matty's hair.
[2011/09/13 21:16] Astrid (astrid.floresby): with pink bows.
[2011/09/13 21:16] Jun Akiro (zeke.laval): smiles and nods , so its more your the GM rather then the player,,,,,
[2011/09/13 21:16] Furyo growls at the gunfire going off
[2011/09/13 21:16] Mateem (mateem.batistuta): *calls godmod!!!*
[2011/09/13 21:16] Astrid (astrid.floresby): giggles
[2011/09/13 21:16] Waymon Marenwolf: got to go sorry astrid good class as always
[2011/09/13 21:16] Astrid (astrid.floresby): i so godmodded XD
[2011/09/13 21:16] Astrid (astrid.floresby): let me get you some XP before you go Way
[2011/09/13 21:17] Usagi promptly critical fails in cleaning the castle grounds an burns down the whole castle.... "OOps! sorry Rune...."
[2011/09/13 21:17] Tokiko Tigerpaw: now how do i improve my chances of success?i noticed its near impossible for me to harm someone for example.. so i tried poisoning the hell out of rats.. and got a 90% use of "harming"... yet my success for harm is almost none..
[2011/09/13 21:17] Waymon Marenwolf: lol aww dont got to hun
[2011/09/13 21:17] Waymon Marenwolf: but ty
[2011/09/13 21:17] Astrid: ((Waymon ( Elaug'Aereagh De'Rahle ) is given 1000 experience points.))
[2011/09/13 21:17] Astrid (astrid.floresby): I promised!
[2011/09/13 21:17] Usagi Vyper: none for me please... I'm ona diet.
[2011/09/13 21:17] Waymon Marenwolf: happy rping everyone and good night
[2011/09/13 21:18] Serenity (serenity.catronis): Good night Waymon
[2011/09/13 21:18] Rune Shen'Lung (rune.crimson): As far as Iming STs I think the STs and Mods here are the best in SL in any RP they do not mind helping and I have not seen one ever get angry at someone needing even the simplest help.
[2011/09/13 21:19] Astrid (astrid.floresby): Ok, last thing I want to get to in the class is the third option in the dice...
[2011/09/13 21:19] Jun Akiro (zeke.laval): nigut
[2011/09/13 21:19] Astrid (astrid.floresby): Third - the Action - WHAT are you actually trying to do?Harm?
- To negatively affect health, life or strength.Assist?
- To positively affect health, life or strength.Discovery?
- To obtain information or knowledge.Grapple?
- To grasp or hold without affecting health, life or strength.Influence?
- To affect mental state, hypnosis, physic or state of mind.Presence?
- To affect the target's presence. Teleporting, body deformations, other physical affects that has no harm, heal or change of mental.
[2011/09/13 21:19] Astrid (astrid.floresby): hmmm sorry if that post was spammy, i'll give you a min to read it
[2011/09/13 21:21] Tokiko Tigerpaw: Where would telling lies fit? target-mental-influence or presence?
[2011/09/13 21:21] Jun Akiro (zeke.laval): influence
[2011/09/13 21:21] Usagi Vyper: influence? as your trying to make them believe you??
[2011/09/13 21:21] Astrid (astrid.floresby): So... going back to reading emotions. Let's say I wanted to read Sebastion's emotions... I would first /9use Mind Reading, then I would choose Target/ Mental / Discovery
[2011/09/13 21:21] Sloan McCoy: I have a question but its kinda off topic is there a some time at the end to ask some one?
[2011/09/13 21:22] Mateem (mateem.batistuta): "/9use Deception > Target > Mental > Influence"
[2011/09/13 21:22] Astrid (astrid.floresby): grins
[2011/09/13 21:23] Mateem (mateem.batistuta): I'll be around for a while.

[2011/09/13 21:25] Rune Shen'Lung (rune.crimson): Focus on Boxing >Target>Physical>Harm
[2011/09/13 21:25] Mateem: ((Mrs. Bunny Rofcal is given 1000 experience points.))
[2011/09/13 21:25] Mrs. Bunny Rofcal: "Thank you \"
[2011/09/13 21:26] Astrid (astrid.floresby): giggles oooh, boxing, i dont have any skill points in that
[2011/09/13 21:26] Mateem: ((Lucifrage Rofcal is given 1000 experience points.))
[2011/09/13 21:26] Usagi Vyper: there a simple 'slap them' command
[2011/09/13 21:26] Mateem: ((Dr. Sebastion Muircastle is given 1000 experience points.))
[2011/09/13 21:26] Lucifrage Rofcal (lucifrage.koray): w00t ...you lvl's me!

[2011/09/13 21:26] Furyo: "Target physical harm would be for smacking them around, with anything really.. even a fish!"
[2011/09/13 21:26] Lucifrage Rofcal performs BloodSurge on themself.
[2011/09/13 21:26] Mateem: ((Sloan is given 500 experience points.))

[2011/09/13 21:26] Furyo: "hehe"
[2011/09/13 21:26] Astrid (astrid.floresby): mmmhmm
[2011/09/13 21:26] Mateem: ((Tokiko is given 1000 experience points.))
[2011/09/13 21:27] Mateem: ((Serenity is given 1000 experience points.))
[2011/09/13 21:27] Scooter Miles: hmm,I wonder if HugThem would help with wrestling:)
[2011/09/13 21:27] Serenity (serenity.catronis): Thanks Mateem
[2011/09/13 21:27] Astrid (astrid.floresby): ok... this time, i don't want to harm him, but i want to give him a magical push
[2011/09/13 21:27] Mateem: ((Usagi is given 1000 experience points.))
[2011/09/13 21:27] Lucifrage Rofcal (lucifrage.koray): if its mollesty wrestling, sure...
[2011/09/13 21:27] Usagi Vyper: meep!!
[2011/09/13 21:27] Furyo: "only if you're trying to get love from them Scooter"
[2011/09/13 21:27] Furyo: "hehe"
[2011/09/13 21:27] Rune Shen'Lung (rune.crimson): You could use PushThem Ability
[2011/09/13 21:27] Mateem: ((Sebastian is given 1000 experience points.))
[2011/09/13 21:27] Astrid (astrid.floresby): lol BESIDES that :P
[2011/09/13 21:27] Usagi Vyper: i was hidding from the exp monster
[2011/09/13 21:27] Astrid (astrid.floresby): you were faster than me rune
[2011/09/13 21:27] Mateem: ((Lady Ella Venise Adler is given 1000 experience points.))
[2011/09/13 21:28] Rune Shen'Lung (rune.crimson): target>Magical> Grapple
[2011/09/13 21:28] Furyo: "ooh, a mind lock"
[2011/09/13 21:28] Astrid (astrid.floresby): actually! and the reason i picked pushing... is to mention the difference between grapple and presence
[2011/09/13 21:28] Jun Akiro (zeke.laval): question ^^
[2011/09/13 21:28] Usagi reappears from their hiding place.
[2011/09/13 21:29] Jun Akiro (zeke.laval): if you want to use a actual abilty but in rp would you still roll or just using the abilty would roll for you?
[2011/09/13 21:29] Rune Shen'Lung (rune.crimson): The Abilities are just like Rolls Jun
[2011/09/13 21:29] Mateem (mateem.batistuta): Abilities require no rolls
[2011/09/13 21:29] Astrid (astrid.floresby): grapple is holding someone in place, since I am actually trying to move him, it would be presence.
[2011/09/13 21:29] Diemas Shinn raises wing
[2011/09/13 21:30] Mateem (mateem.batistuta): Your character's resistance/vulnerability is built into the hud.
[2011/09/13 21:30] Diemas Shinn: nevermind
[2011/09/13 21:30] Astrid (astrid.floresby): yes diemas?
[2011/09/13 21:30] Astrid (astrid.floresby): lol
[2011/09/13 21:30] Astrid (astrid.floresby): ok... any other questions?
[2011/09/13 21:30] Jun Akiro (zeke.laval): like cures and curses, like i wanted to rp [Curse]Deep Madness
Sends anyone within range, into a fist fighting frenzy, lashing out at anyone. i can just cast it with a rp post?
[2011/09/13 21:30] Mateem (mateem.batistuta): You got it Zeke.
[2011/09/13 21:30] Jun Akiro (zeke.laval): oh awsome
[2011/09/13 21:30] Astrid (astrid.floresby): you can just post the /2 RP then use that curse.
[2011/09/13 21:30] Mateem (mateem.batistuta): As long as it followed the Challege Rule requirement, it's good.
[2011/09/13 21:30] Astrid (astrid.floresby): no dice
[2011/09/13 21:31] Astrid (astrid.floresby): but this class was on dice ^_^
[2011/09/13 21:31] Tokiko Tigerpaw: hmm interesting...
[2011/09/13 21:31] Длҭїϙυᴧгїᴧᴫ (ark.kytori): rofl
[2011/09/13 21:31] Diemas Shinn: and that was my question too
[2011/09/13 21:31] Diemas Shinn: muhahaha
[2011/09/13 21:31] Длҭїϙυᴧгїᴧᴫ (ark.kytori): but skills and dice are closely tied
[2011/09/13 21:31] Astrid (astrid.floresby): any others???
[2011/09/13 21:31] Diemas Shinn: whoops
[2011/09/13 21:31] Scooter Miles: what would be the big differnce between using say scying to locate something and divination?
[2011/09/13 21:31] Astrid (astrid.floresby): you can build skill by dice rolling and skill affect the dice roll outcomes
[2011/09/13 21:32] Mateem (mateem.batistuta): The RP behind it, Scooter :)
[2011/09/13 21:32] Usagi Vyper: devination provides information.. scrting lets you 'see'
[2011/09/13 21:32] Diemas Shinn: /m raises wing
[2011/09/13 21:32] Usagi Vyper: pardon the typos
[2011/09/13 21:32] Mateem (mateem.batistuta): Yes Diemas
[2011/09/13 21:32] Ella (elamyrath.bracken) has a question
[2011/09/13 21:32] Diemas Shinn: 2 questions one how are we talking diece now? and if so how do you know wich to use
[2011/09/13 21:32] Mateem (mateem.batistuta): After Diemas, Elam
[2011/09/13 21:33] Ella (elamyrath.bracken): kk
[2011/09/13 21:33] Jun Akiro (zeke.laval): so skills level by dice rolling...like making tea again, but does abiltys scale with use? i think you said somthing ealier about healing but im just wondering the more you use them the higher chance of succes is, or is it random dice roll evrytime you use it?
[2011/09/13 21:33] Mateem (mateem.batistuta): Please wait until Elam and Diemas have had thier questions answered, Zeke.
[2011/09/13 21:34] Jun Akiro (zeke.laval): lol sorry i dint look while i was typing that
[2011/09/13 21:34] Tokiko Tigerpaw: good question... i did notice that the range on my abilities increased.
[2011/09/13 21:35] Astrid (astrid.floresby): dice... we have been talking about that, you base what your roll is on the action you are doing. The three steps guide you through the focus, the method, and the action you are attempting
[2011/09/13 21:36] Astrid (astrid.floresby): http://larps.net/lc/topic/dice-roll-details
[2011/09/13 21:36] Astrid (astrid.floresby): Elam??
[2011/09/13 21:36] Ella (elamyrath.bracken): i've seen on a few different occasions now people rolling their dice over and over again to make their skills go up. i understand the positive effect it has on the skill meter, but what are the negative effects that could have?
[2011/09/13 21:37] Astrid (astrid.floresby): we did talk about that some, for one, rolling the dice without a /2 RP post before it will actually lower your chance of success at the roll
[2011/09/13 21:39] Lucifrage Rofcal (lucifrage.koray): in rp a critical fail A dammages you, and B makes you be forced to rp, hurting yourself in the attempt or rp'ing a rather negative effect to what you were aiming at, as I understand it?
[2011/09/13 21:39] Mateem (mateem.batistuta): Going off by yourself and just spamming a bunch of rolls with no RP in between in essence LOWERS the stats based on it, instead of raising them. This essentially destroys your character.
[2011/09/13 21:39] Mateem (mateem.batistuta): Hang on Lucifrage, Zeke's question first :)
[2011/09/13 21:40] Astrid (astrid.floresby): And yes Zeke, abilities are similar to dice rolls, your chances of success are based on your skill level, your targets resistance, etc. BUT there is always a chance to miss
[2011/09/13 21:40] Ella (elamyrath.bracken): that's what i was curious of. ty mat
[2011/09/13 21:40] Lucifrage Rofcal (lucifrage.koray): (goes quiet again, sorry)
[2011/09/13 21:40] Diemas Shinn raises wing
[2011/09/13 21:40] Jun Akiro (zeke.laval): nods ty
[2011/09/13 21:41] Mateem (mateem.batistuta): After Lucifrage, Diemas :)
[2011/09/13 21:41] Usagi gets a paw up!
[2011/09/13 21:41] Astrid (astrid.floresby): Ok Luci's question...
[2011/09/13 21:41] Astrid (astrid.floresby): per the words of Tri Critical Miss- Missed the target and possibility of self damage (gun backfired).
[2011/09/13 21:42] Astrid (astrid.floresby): so... you've completely miss the target, and you -could- be hurt as well
[2011/09/13 21:42] Mateem (mateem.batistuta): A crit miss doesn't mean other's get hurt, or the environment gets harmed, only the Character gets harmed.
[2011/09/13 21:42] Tokiko Tigerpaw: now if its not hurting , but doing something else, i suppose the opposite of the intended effect?
[2011/09/13 21:42] Sloan had one of those today
[2011/09/13 21:43] Mateem (mateem.batistuta): No, you hurt yourself trying to do it. No reverse.
[2011/09/13 21:43] Astrid (astrid.floresby): or think of it as, relflective...
[2011/09/13 21:43] Astrid (astrid.floresby): again... depends on what you were trying to do
[2011/09/13 21:43] Mateem (mateem.batistuta): And yes, this applies to even healing.
[2011/09/13 21:43] Lucifrage Rofcal (lucifrage.koray): so rolling to repair something and crit fail won't break it more?
[2011/09/13 21:44] Mateem (mateem.batistuta): Nope.
[2011/09/13 21:44] Astrid (astrid.floresby): no.
[2011/09/13 21:44] Lucifrage Rofcal (lucifrage.koray): thanks.
[2011/09/13 21:44] Mateem (mateem.batistuta): It breaks the character trying to do the repair instead *giggle*
[2011/09/13 21:44] Tokiko Tigerpaw: heh then ive been doing it wrong too
[2011/09/13 21:44] Astrid (astrid.floresby): nothing happens to the target
[2011/09/13 21:44] Astrid (astrid.floresby): ok diemas you had a question?
[2011/09/13 21:44] Diemas Shinn: i think i understand the self target and all but what i should have asked was the D sided dice how do we know to use them and which one?
[2011/09/13 21:45] Astrid (astrid.floresby): I would say.... don't worry about it
[2011/09/13 21:45] Diemas Shinn: cool
[2011/09/13 21:45] Mateem (mateem.batistuta): Actually... if I may really quick?
[2011/09/13 21:45] Diemas Shinn: thank you
[2011/09/13 21:45] Astrid (astrid.floresby): mmhmm
[2011/09/13 21:47] Astrid (astrid.floresby): but most of the time, those are duration or percentage rolls, in general at first, you will probably only need them when you're in an STed scene.
[2011/09/13 21:47] Mateem (mateem.batistuta): They're a tool to judge how many units of something you get... for example, if your character makes a batch of enchanted cookies, how many cookies they get out of the batch. Or if your character puts up a ward, a d6 determines how many days that will work. A d2 lets your character flip a coin. :) they're a tool of chance.
[2011/09/13 21:47] Scooter Miles: wards are back to d6 days?
[2011/09/13 21:48] Astrid (astrid.floresby): no d6 + 2 weeks
[2011/09/13 21:48] Diemas Shinn: ooo ok
[2011/09/13 21:48] Mateem (mateem.batistuta): Sometimes in fight scenes an ST will ask you to roll a d4 after a stellar sucess or a crit fail to judge the degree of how spectacular it was.
[2011/09/13 21:48] Furyo: "I have used the d4 dice once to determine the target of a blind mental attack in a group with 3 other players"
[2011/09/13 21:49] Astrid (astrid.floresby): but again.... you are setting wards with an ST present so they'll walk you through it
[2011/09/13 21:49] Mateem (mateem.batistuta): Excellent Furyo. :)
[2011/09/13 21:49] Furyo: "where i myself was also represented by a number option on that dice (backlash)"
[2011/09/13 21:49] Scooter Miles: I used to ward a lot, just was curious
[2011/09/13 21:49] Tokiko Tigerpaw would rather use traps then wards <.<
[2011/09/13 21:49] Astrid (astrid.floresby): ok... any last questions?
[2011/09/13 21:50] Scooter Miles: raises hand
[2011/09/13 21:50] Astrid (astrid.floresby): chuckles... i like that thinking tokiko
[2011/09/13 21:50] Usagi gets a paw up again
[2011/09/13 21:50] Astrid (astrid.floresby): Usagi... I knew I was missing someone
[2011/09/13 21:50] Astrid (astrid.floresby): you first then scooter
[2011/09/13 21:51] Astrid (astrid.floresby): and then i need to be wrapping up
[2011/09/13 21:51] Mateem (mateem.batistuta): I'll be around for further questions after a quick, BRB
[2011/09/13 21:55] Astrid (astrid.floresby): is suddenly afraid of this question....
[2011/09/13 21:55] Длҭїϙυᴧгїᴧᴫ (ark.kytori): rofl
[2011/09/13 21:55] Scooter Miles: lol
[2011/09/13 21:56] Astrid (astrid.floresby): Throws this link at everyone again: http://larps.net/lc/forum/player-manual
[2011/09/13 21:56] Usagi Vyper: I tend to fumble around with the dice menus sometimes after my post, What's a good rule of thumb for the time between RP post an diceroll?
[2011/09/13 21:57] Astrid (astrid.floresby): and this one http://larps.net/lc/topic/roll-your-own-skills#post-5933
[2011/09/13 21:57] Astrid (astrid.floresby): you know... we're not here on a race
[2011/09/13 21:57] Astrid (astrid.floresby): it always takes me a minute too, i don't think it's just you
[2011/09/13 21:58] Diemas Shinn: it takes me a good time slow thinker and all
[2011/09/13 21:58] Usagi Vyper: I'm asking because of what was said about not posting an RP before the roll damaging the character
[2011/09/13 21:58] Astrid (astrid.floresby): I say, it's better to take your time, I sometimes have to review the skill page to make sure i have the right focus... then deciding which roll
[2011/09/13 21:59] Astrid (astrid.floresby): right... as long as there is RP before the roll you're fine
[2011/09/13 21:59] Usagi Vyper: but how long is too long between post and roll?
[2011/09/13 21:59] Rune Shen'Lung (rune.crimson): I always try and hold my post til I got the right dice roll directed out to help me
[2011/09/13 22:00] Astrid (astrid.floresby): I don't know if there is a too long.
[2011/09/13 22:01] Astrid (astrid.floresby): but I can ask
[2011/09/13 22:01] Astrid (astrid.floresby): but I dont think a couple minutes is going to hurt you. especially when cool down times are 3 minutes
[2011/09/13 22:02] Astrid (astrid.floresby): ok... last question for me... scooter
[2011/09/13 22:02] Scooter Miles: wisdom bonus, where or how does it come into play at?
[2011/09/13 22:02] Astrid (astrid.floresby): magic usually
[2011/09/13 22:02] Usagi Vyper: 6 minutes now, or were yesterday
[2011/09/13 22:02] Astrid (astrid.floresby): or abilities
[2011/09/13 22:03] Tokiko Tigerpaw: for resistance? or damage?
[2011/09/13 22:03] Mateem (mateem.batistuta): And back
[2011/09/13 22:03] Scooter Miles: does it effect end event then, not the skill itself then?
[2011/09/13 22:03] Mateem: ((Mateem Batistuta is in StoryTeller mode.))
[2011/09/13 22:05] Serenity slips out quietly
[2011/09/13 22:05] Astrid (astrid.floresby): I cannot give you the intricacies of how they work together because that is known by one evil genius.
[2011/09/13 22:05] Tokiko Tigerpaw rubs hands together "Time for some reverse engineering then!"
[2011/09/13 22:05] Astrid (astrid.floresby): suffice to say.. if you have it, you've probably earned it, and it probably helps you
[2011/09/13 22:06] Scooter Miles: ok
[2011/09/13 22:06] Astrid (astrid.floresby): it's best to just RP and not worry about your stats. Because even with the best stats... you are not invincible... and with that...
[2011/09/13 22:06] Astrid (astrid.floresby): I'm stepping out...
[2011/09/13 22:06] Mateem (mateem.batistuta): And I'm in! Bring em on!
[2011/09/13 22:06] Astrid (astrid.floresby) takes Bastion's hand and runs!
[2011/09/13 22:07] Diemas Shinn: bye
[2011/09/13 22:07] Sebastion Muircastle: Smiles and steals his lady away.
[2011/09/13 22:07] Astrid (astrid.floresby): waves! ty! -
Astrid, wonderful (2 hr.!) class, you kept every one wanting more. LOL
