Dice Righteous Fiends OOC

[Chordling]

Semi off-topic but if anyone wants to just chat on Discord just shoot me a DM.

 

[Grey]

My Discord is Grey#0992 if'n anyone feels like reaching me more directly, no promises I will not answer every statement with off-colour memes.

 

[Spiderheart]

Okay, so we have at least one person in each role. How long do you wanna wait to see if we can pick up fourth and fifth players?

 

[Grey]

Until all the current players have written up their characters, I reckon. I believe we actually have four? Might be able to drum up a fifth without too much effort.

 

[Spiderheart]

Whoops, Musician and dae mec have similar color palettes in their avatars

 

[Chordling]

What up gang? I am finally carving out some time to get my character together. I am a n00b with dice systems so I hope you're ready for a silly train ride. I already spoke with Grey a little bit about this. I want to play a rogue-ish Twilight Guard character who can duel wield concealed daggers -stabby stabby- and can sneak around in the dark. Grey mentioned some Flicker Shadow powers to help balance out the power. I also thought that the Black Heart gift would be really neat. I'm open to more critiques and suggestions with this.

 

[Grey]

That all fits. We might see you and our Shade become a deadly duo.

 

[Spiderheart]

Given that you're not playing a Shade, I might go for a more swashbuckler-esque "rogue" than a kills-from-the-shadows type, at least mechanically. Then again, this is ostensibly a covert op. It's completely feasible that someone other than the designated sneaky bastard was issued stealth gear.

If you wanna lean into the multi-weapon style chicanery, why not get an extra heart/pair of arms and quad-wield? Four knives are better than two, after all, and I can always take them off later if you don't like them.

 

[Chordling]

Maybe my character was a Shadow-wannabe but wasn't skilled in the right way for the task? I like the idea of additional limbs! Thanks for pointing that out.

 

[Spiderheart]

Also, Grey, one more specific idea/request for a gift, since we don't need an entire party with Divine Vision.

Psychophage

By expending a point of blood from a person as they withdraw it, the Surgeon can extract the details of a single memory or the truthful answer to a single question (which may well be that they don't know the answer). This ability can only be reliably used on a given subject so long as they have enough blood to be lucid – though they don't need to actually be lucid. This gift can drag information the subject has forgotten or suppressed to the surface, but doing so requires a check using Intuition and Empathy.

 

[Grey]

I like that but I will probably adjust it a tad after some thought - that kind of blood-based psychometry is kind of The Shtick for one of the other vampire clans.

I might share stuff on the clans for fun at some point but for now I'd rather keep them mysterious for the sake of your characters and your enjoyment.

 

[dr xenon]

FYI - finally put together my character description and a little background info. Updated the char page.

 

[Spiderheart]

In the hopes of still introducing a new Gift that doesn't tread on another clan's toes, here's another option:

Cerebro-Hematic Index

The Savaan's brain is no longer the sole repository of their knowledge; pieces of information are stored within their very veins, dormant, but waiting to be drawn back into the waking mind. By spending a point of blood, the Savaan can increase a Skill by 2 or a mental Attribute by 1 for the next hour; no more than one such effect can be active at a time. Skills and Attributes can be enhanced past their maximum this way, but doing so halves the effect's duration.

 

[Grey]

I like that one a lot, and I was actually pondering some fun distributed nervous system tricks for Surgeons especially.

 

[Spiderheart]

Excellent! No more super-eyes for me, and no more need for the free language dots; I can get them on command.

 

[Chordling]

This is my own reminder that I should update you guys about my character tomorrow morning. Sorry for being slow. ^^" Thank you all for your patience.

 

[Grey]

If anyone knows someone who'd be interested in the fifth slot feel free to invite them or try and sell them on it.

 

[Grey]

Spiderheart I've decided Living Apothecary is a-ok, might limit you to metabolizing up to 3 reagents at a time to avoid catastrophic mixing. Breath of Night is also fine as written.

 

[Spiderheart]

Grazi! I promise not to abuse it too horrifically

 

[Lunaria Silver]

I DID IT
I mean...almost. Gifts are gonna take a little more thought and less math

 

[Lunaria Silver]

Her superpower is having annoying brothers.

 

[Grey]

It's a nice touch i wasn't expecting.

 

[Lunaria Silver]

I also wasn't expecting it. I'm not even an eldest daughter so I'm not gonna lie, I pulled that one out of the air. XD

 

[Lunaria Silver]

I was like "What would give a character a penchant for administration?"
And then I was like, "Parenting skill maxed by 18. That'll do it."

 

[Lunaria Silver]

Okay I'll go away now. I'll finish the sheet up by tomorrow
