Hey everyone I got a post up, No timeskip yet. I think I'll wait 24hrs before issuing that.

BTW does anyone want to learn how to use the combat and skill systems? Or shall we dispense with that.

I have not thrown any story curve balls cause I want to make sure who wants to be involved. If a good portion would like to try then I'll be happy to provide Combat training in another thread. We can try it out and if its not everyones cup of tea we can always do away with it later afterward.

I'd certainly like a tutorial. It might add an interesting element.

Up for the tutorial! The Artes had me quite interested.

So I added another thread dealing with some of the battle mechanics. If you remember, in the CS Combat section everyone was supposed to choose a COMBAT CLASS, that determines things like
HP ( Health)
SE ( Magi points )
CCA ( Character Combat Actions )

And some Dice mechanics as well. The thread below deals with Dice.

Combat System/ DICE / Statistics

Combat System Overview: The RP will use a combat system that will be placed in 3 different categories; Duels, Groups, Special. Each category will utilize simple DICE mechanics to determine what CHARACTER COMBAT ACTIONS go on within individual posts. Categories Duels: Combat...

Business as usual, huh?

 

[Shin Positron Laser]

Sometimes trial by fire is best when playing a game.

 

[Sul_Silver]

Finally posted. Sorry it took so long, I was kinda dry in creativity these last few days.

 

[Worthlessplebian]

No worries, hitting that writer's block is common.

 

[Fred Colon]

Seems like everyone's been a bit slow these past few days. I've been a bit busy myself so I defenitly get it.

Hey Everyone. I will try and implement a soft timeskip today, I'll bring the group to the next day and start the actual mission. We'll be trying out some combat DICE mechanics with NO ARTES for the time being to see how comfortable everyone is with the system. We'll be huddled as a group so we should have more opportunity for interaction between characters while together.

 

[Shin Positron Laser]

If anyone has any question about how to proceed with the combat posts, just let me know here.

 

[Fred Colon]

So we wait for you to post a globrun attack then we can go? How do you roll dice? Sorry.

 

[Shin Positron Laser]

Players control 1 NPC globgrun each

Dice rolling is done when you edit any post, there is an option to roll dice.

Ok, I think I'll wait to see how it's done.

 

[Reinhardt]

Shin Positron Laser The dice roll edit after the post seems restrictive, in terms of writing, especially since it determines what occurs in the fight. Maybe we could have a thread where we roll the dice before we post? Some sort of battle log thread where we can record the things that happen in combat?

That sounds better.

Let's do that. For now use OOC for dice rolls until I get the dice thread up

Hey everyone,

So I got the Dice thread up

Dice - The Principle Journey Combat Dice Thread

Hello there. This thread is for players engaged in IC Combat. Please follow these guidelines. Posts must include the following 1. Character in use 2. Enemy Target(s) 3. Outline your dice and/or Artes 4. Damage calculation 5. First set of dice are OCs 6. Second set are enemy NPCs

www.rpnation.com

Like Reinhardt suggested, post in the Dice thread for the combat outcomes. Then you can write your IC post according to what you rolled in the Dice thread.

I also posted in IC as a little demonstration for players

Fantasy - The Principle Journey : Wrath of the North IC 2020

"Hullo again." Merin said, "Were just sitting down and swapping stories. Getting to know one another. Kirva has been nice enough to offer us a drink, if you're interested. Some of the others have gone looking for food. The only thing left are the tents, I believe. But there's no real rush if...

www.rpnation.com

The Engagement Scenario post will be updated as the battle goes on, so you'll see what is left to be done.

 

[Reinhardt]

To streamline the combat process, all players will have these Stats for their character.

HP: 6
SE: N/A
CCA: 4
ATK: 4 Dice
DEF: 3 Dice
EVA: 2 Dice

No SE? Or is it just a placeholder and the others will input the value of their character's current SE?

 

[Sul_Silver]

I'll try to get a post up soon... I think I got this figured out.

 

[Sul_Silver]

So how exactly does the damage calcs work?? For example, if the enemies roll a 10 total, and I roll a 12 total, what would happen?

Each attack (barring artes) does one damage, you just use the dice to determine if they hit or not.

If you roll 3 or above on a die, that's a success. So if you got 3, 4, 5, 6, all your hits connect. Or if you're using DEF/EVA dice, you avoid the incoming hits - if the enemy manages to succeed on their rolls.

Shin's combat system thread would probably expand more on this.

 

[Shin Positron Laser]

I want to introduce it after people try out the Dice mechanics first. Although using SE might be less tedious.

So how exactly does the damage calcs work?? For example, if the enemies roll a 10 total, and I roll a 12 total, what would happen?

So when rolling dice, it is not about their totals of the face number when rolling, but the total HITS. If your rolls are more successful than the other player or NPC then you do damage by the difference between your rolls. The same is true the other way around.

E.G.:

Player Rolls ATK dice
Dice rolls: 4,5,2,6
Rules: ATK dice must roll 3 or higher to HIT
Results: 3 HIT(s) (4,5,6) 1 Miss (2)
Player can attack 3 times. This can be represented by swinging a sword 3 times, punching 3 times, headbutting 3 times etc.

NPC enemy ATK dice
Dice rolls: 2,3
Rules ATK dice must roll 3 or higher to HIT
Results: 1 HIT (3) and 1 Miss (2)
NPC can attack 1 time. represented in any way according to players flavor text.

Combat Results
Player: 3 HITS
NPC: 1 HIT
=================
NPC takes 2 HP of Damage.

Dice make up 3 types of physical actions. Attacking, defending and evading.
If you are attacked by an NPC, you can roll ATK, DEF or EVA dice to avoid getting HIT and losing HP.
