Dice Inheritance OOC

[Grey]

Ask questions, chatter, shitpost, plan.

Welcome to the Palatial System.

One handy thing about this game - once you both have characters, we can start with you waking from stasis and escaping a lab. And you can rescue other players from similar circumstances as we go on and they join.

You'd needn't apologize so much, Kahir, particularly not for good questions.

In general, you can expect me to set the scene. If no input is required from me, you can take turns posting however feels most natural and appropriate. You can also check in the OOC to be sure.
I'll generally post to cover reactions from the world and NPCs. When it comes to combat, there's a more strict posting order, but that only lasts for the duration of a fight and this system is designed to generally keep combat fast and deadly.

I would like to give this a go, have to shake the rust off some old gears and get back into the swing of writing, but the Bijali sounded quite interesting.

 

[Grey]

Nice. I should also tag Teh Frixz now I think of it.

Anyone have questions or ideas so far? Don't forget to check the threads linked in the... thread linking thing at the top of the page.

 

[Grey]

We won't have a fixed order most of the time - it'll be whatever order feels most organically right. Generally, you can post in any order but should wait until all players in the scene post once before your next post. Don't overthink it and let me worry about controlling the pace.

We'll worry about rules as they come up, and I will handle the mechanical side of the sheet if asked so you can focus on purely narrative elements.

Right now, just ponder the look and personality of your post-human space ninja, ideally reflected by their Soulcage.

 

[Teh Frixz]

I’ll have something for ya~

This sounds super cool! I will also have to get used to group roleplays again but I love this premise. Very interested in the Prem.

 

[Grey]

Cool!

Don't know if everyone missed it but characters go here: Dice - Inheritance - Characters
I will handle the stats for you if you want.
And here's some lore: Dice - Inheritance - Lore
Pick a martial art from that list for your Training, too.

 

[Kittenpom20]

I'll put my best effort into stats but I might mess it up, so some feedback would be appreciated once that's posted if you don't mind! Grey
Also I just realized what your avatar is and I love it.

 

[Grey]

Spend the XP first, then pick a martial art. Mana cannot be increased yet but I will give opportunities over time.
Armed styles will also become available over time.

Hello all. Have room for one more? Grey would you prefer sheets finalized in here before being added to the characters thread?

Always room for you!
Add them to the thread and edit them as necessary to tidiness sake, I'd say

 

[Kittenpom20]

Just to clarify for XP expenditure, the XP stacks, correct? So for example if I wanted to be level 4 in stealth I would spend 8 XP total.

Yes, that is correct.

 

[Teh Frixz]

I think I'll claim the Separa cage this time around!

 

[Cirno]

Grey Can I get your help filling out my character's Skills? She's a derpy laser owl Gaida that resembles Ghibi Castle in the Sky robot in shape. Graceful movements, using Gentle Palm Stance. May redirect attention with flashy, threatening moves (blinking lights, visible laser targeting). Can shove single targets into place for fellow Bandi. Tries to maneuver large enemy groups with long-distance threats.
Basic preening ability to patch up self or others. Can gather physical information, including navigation. Not great with hacking or interacting with organics.
She just wants to fly forth and sing [--death upon the Enemy--].

 

[Grey]

Cirno I think the way I'll handle Skills is to parcel them out as memories return, but it seems like she's coming out of stasis remembering how to sing to deafen LIDAR receivers. 3 Perform.
And up to the second technique in her Style.

 

[Grey]

Teh Frixz Remember Separa has a floating free physical Attribute point to represent rapid adaptation!

I'll give you and Cirno your 'cage unique traits after my nap.

 

[Grey]

Quick check in - whomst is still getting alerts and still onboard?

 

[Grey]

After some contemplation:
Everyone take Condition 20, Shields 10, Soak 4

Gaida gets +1 Intuition for her 360 degree vision.
Separa has a floating free Physical Attribute point.
Vala has +1 Willpower
Prem can detect minds within 100 metres which is more powerful than it sounds.

Defence
Defence: Dexterity + Defence
Parry: Defence + Parry Focus, etc
Evade: Defence + Evade Focus, etc
Block: Defence + Shield Focus, etc

Offence
Melee: Dexterity + Melee
Ranged: Intuition + Ranged
Unarmed: Dexterity + Unarmed

Speed: Fitness + Athletics
Initiative: Speed + Composure
Combat Pool: Speed + Dexterity
Physical Soak: The lower of Fitness or Strength
Magic Resistance: = Willpower + any special traits
Health: 10 Condition: 20

With that done, I think I'll start a thread for characters completed so far.
Also, everyone think about signature weapons you'd like.

A main ranged weapon
A sidearm
A melee weapon
A utility item

Feel free to get weird with it.

 

[Teh Frixz]

Updated most things, I’ll have it all done tonight

 

[Kittenpom20]

Messed around with my stats since I had a chance to read the doc today. How are you planning on handling magic & spellcasting? Just wanted to know so I can decide whether to focus in casting or something else for my ranged skill.

Bolt spells can be enhanced by Ranged, but that's best worried about once I start doling out Skill increases - the rules in the doc don't apply to Bandi the same way.

Also I forgot to add Interface (a Mental Skill for hacking, programming, etc) to the list because it was added to the system later than that template was made.

 

[Kittenpom20]

Oh Interface sounds perfect for Prem, thanks!
