Heroica RPG General Discussion

[Actaeon]

We've got an ogre. Trolls would be doable, but tricky. You'd have to make him not some lumbering brute and an actual character.

I personally have a bit of a distaste for scrapping a character this early. We've got enough stealthy rangers around here, but the important thing is this: they all moved past that trope. If you want your character to stand out, it's how he acts and what he says, not his race or the parts you use or his class, although they do help slightly.

Thanks for the input. I don't think I'll scrap him. Honestly, I love the way he acts right now. Quiet for the most part, but adds in a ridiculous pun occasionally.

I think I'll visit the "theater" thread before I decide to change the parts or not.

I think you're doing a good enough job as of right now. I do like the figure, and I do want to see where you're character and his snarky puns go from here.

No one has reached 50 yet? I've noticed a few in the high 30s, is that the highest?

I'm close. I think the highest level in the game right now. (Level 44.6)

[Cutcobra]

I think someone is at level 40 already, but can't get the Veteran job class because he diidn't complete 10 quests.

EDIT: I now see it is you, Masked.

Who else is past 40? There's Alexis and Benji, and I'm sure there are a few more.

[Masked Builder]

Althior is level 39. (According to his Hero Stats page)

Edit: Check that, his level 40+ now.

After reading a good portion of the theater intro, I think I'm keeping him. I figure as I level up and buy armor or other things, I will end up changing the figure up some anyhow.

I don't even know how I got to Actaeon being a "pun type of guy". I think originally I was going to make him a serious bad-A, but then I though "heck, my characters are always overly serious, I'll change it up at least a little"

Dang! How long have you been in the game? How many quests is that?

Do you think you'll end up making a second character?

Short answer is this:

Medal of Glory - (suitable for anyone, wearer gains triple experience from battles, accessory, Fields of Glory)

I like the serious grim face you used contrasting the pun-tacular dialogue. It's nice contrast.

I joined on day one and have been pretty active every since. I'm on my tenth quest right now with two trips into the fields. I was also the first hero at level 15 and level 30.

I did have a second character planned at one point, though I don't know if I want to use the one I had, make a new one, or get one at all.

Thanks!

I just read through the whole theater intro, and I must say, it was a lot more helpful than I expected it to be! So many fresh ideas.

There's some good stuff in there, I should reread that too.

Wow! That's crazy!

If you get a second character, are they allowed to go on the same quest with your main character?

I didn't even think of half of the stuff in there. It gave me a ton ideas. It also turns out, I didn't have too many cliche plans for my character. Admittedly, I did have some that will have to be scratched.

I also learned that characters can have relationships between each other. I think that my character will interact with people and have relationships in that way, but I will more than likely avoid any relationships beyond that. I might have 1 or 2 in the back story, but that will probably be it.

Short answer is this:

Meddal of Glory - (suitable for anyone, wearer gains triple experience from battles, accessory, Fields of Glory)

Oh wow. I need to go through and re-read all the elements and artifacts. I scanned over them the first time, but that probably isn't enough.

I think that was discussed and the answer was no. Don't quote me on that.

At this point, the two mentioned there have fallen apart.

A withdrawal from the previous post: Althior was the first hero at level 30.

[Waterbrick Down]

The experience system is somewhat exponential, in that as the game goes on more and more players become equally powerful, however it does mean that it can and probably will take the average player 4-5 years before they gain access to another character.

That's fine with me. It seems a bit... weird or even awkward.

K-Nutty and I had been Pm'ing for a long time an we were both comfortable with it. They fell apart for Roleplay reasons.

Oh wow. That's longer than I expected! Still, that means the game is open for long term. That's good

I also just looked at the first quest to be done. It made me even more exited to get started on a quest

I suppose if both players have a decent amount of Roleplaying experience, it wouldn't be as bad.

[Masked Builder]

And we had become friends.

That was actually really early in the game if memory serves correctly. I don't even remember why it happened in the first place.

Yeah, it's on page like 130 in the hall.

[Actaeon]

Yet another reason it is less weird.

What about people with a "significant other" that is an NPC??

[K-Nut]

That could probably work. I know Skrall has/had a wife at one point, but she was never introduced to the game. Arthur had some backstory at one point with an on again/off again significant other through his backstory. I think she came to Eubric once. I haven't done it, but I know some people have.

Depends on whether it's your own NPC or someone else's. Skrall's wife is more of a backstory NPC and never interacts with him. Tarn and Ella are an example of a PC and a QM controlled NPC relationship, Nyx (PC) and XX (QM controlled NPC) are another.

Okay, that's good to know.

It would be my own NPC. I doubt I would ever actually introduce her to the current story ever, at least not until I do a quest of my own (which will be a while).
