UsernameMDM Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 So is a dragon's health equal to?: PC's level PC's level + 30 30 + each level after training Dragoon for the 1st time Quote
CMP Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 So is a dragon's health equal to?: PC's level PC's level + 30 30 + each level after training Dragoon for the 1st time Yeah, I was pretty much clueless when doing Torc's health. I figured base health 30 was the minimum, what a newly-hatched Dragon at Level 30 would have. Quote
UsernameMDM Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 I thought it was PC's Level +30. That makes sense seeing is it's supposed to be a dragon! Should be able to take a hit or two. Quote
Sandy Posted March 26, 2015 Author Posted March 26, 2015 So is a dragon's health equal to?: PC's level PC's level + 30 30 + each level after training Dragoon for the 1st time Ah, it seems I've worded the rules wonkily. It's supposed to be equal to the level, but I guess some extra health wouldn't hurt. I'll add it to the list of things that need adjusting for the classes. Quote
Lind Whisperer Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 (edited) I need an official rule judgement - is having the highwaymen armed with 1600s era flintlock pistols too modern? I wasn't meaning for them to be accurate weapons - I was picturing them as being meant to be a lot more "loud" than dangerous. EDIT: And only now do I see CMP's quote from Sandy. But I'd still like a ruling, since one loot item that I added, and Sandy approved, was specifically called a pistol. The ...pistol is an interesting item...and you can certainly include it into your quest. Edited March 28, 2015 by Lind Whisperer Quote
Flipz Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Again, pistols of any kind are not suitable for the setting of this game. Crossbows, on the other hand, are an existing weapon class in this game, so bowguns are an option. LINK ...except that one that U'Vires carries.... that one flintlock pistol is okay... As long as it doesn't find its way to the hands of the heroes. I don't want to be too restrictive when it comes to technology in this game world - everyone knows the liberties I've taken with it for example in Quest #15 - but there's a story-related reason for it. At this point in the game, advanced technology is in the hands of only few people in the world, but that might change depending on how the main storyline goes. And that, my dear players, is eventually up to you. LINK Quote

That's why I'm not instantly agreeing to change it - the image of a lone highwayman shooting off his pistols as he chases a passing carriage fits much better than him waving a wand or sword. And I wouldn't even be pushing as much as I am, except that Sandy approved the exact picture in question, as well as an weapon that was specifically named pistol, and from the wording was quite clearly implied to be one*. *Well, it's half a pistol...The point is, it couldn't be a hand-cannon. Either way, they've swapped their weapons out for the moment. Quote

But I'd still like a ruling, since one loot item that I added, and Sandy approved, was specifically called a pistol. No, it wasn't called just a pistol. You presented it as half a handcannon, too. But yes, keeping flintlock pistols out of the game at this point is the best thing for now. Quote
Yzalirk Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 After a quest, could I change my character's name (only once) along with the picture? Quote
Sandy Posted March 28, 2015 Author Posted March 28, 2015 After a quest, could I change my character's name (only once) along with the picture? Wow, you really have trouble committing to a character, haven't you? :P Many people update their avatars in between quest, but they usually have a reason to do so, such as class change. Some have also changed or expanded their character's names, but nobody has done so after just one quest... So I have to ask you why? Quote

I'm not sure the reasoning behind it other than I thought of a name that is rather more interesting. I should also note that my character for Guilds of Historica will be my actual character for Heroica. I'm not sure why but it seems more interesting like this... I mean if it's a problem, then perhaps there's another way but I'm definitely keeping the Male Dwarf Ranger but I find the name Ahzrukhal a bit more interesting. Of course, he will have a last name but that is undecided as of now. Quote

Of course, he will have a last name but that is undecided as of now. Why can't you name him "Mhinak Ahzrukhal", then? They're both made up names, so I don't get how one can be more meaningful to you than the other... Look, you are never going to get accustomed to your characters if you don't give them a chance to grow. I don't want to interfere with your roleplaying choices, but your wishy-washiness in this matter is not something I can condone with. Quote
UsernameMDM Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 (edited) Another 2 cents to add to why I think dragon's HP should be base health (currently 30) + PC level: Because of the randomness of Shadeaux rep, players can't necessary control what level they start out at as Dragoon. No other class is penalized by their starting level. I think in the 3+ years I've played this game, there have been less than a dozen Shadeaux quests, and only a certain amount of PCs can go on each quest. Edited March 28, 2015 by UsernameMDM Quote

It's not uncommon for people to be called by their middle names. I will then stick with that for my character. I just like the name Ahzrukhal better. I'm not trying to annoy you or anything, Sandy, believe me. When it comes to roleplaying, I'm always getting new ideas and scraping old ones. That's just how I am and I can't help it. This is just one thing I'll be sticking with. The last thing I want to do is annoy anyone and if I'm doing so, I apologize in advance. Quote

You're sounding wishy washy and unsure. I like the name Amelia. I wish I named either Karie or Annienal Amelia, but I didn't. I wish I had made different decisions on quest, but here I am. I've scrapped things for my characters, but I keep playing as them. It's a little frustrating watching someone push "mulligan" over and over again. Name's are important, but actions are more so. I don't care what you do with Mhinak, or Ahzruakhal, or whatever his name may be, but you're never going to get the full enjoyment of a roleplaying game if you continually start over.

Unfortunately the cat thinks it's entertaining to crawl on my keyboard and is directly on my arms. Give me a moment. I just got an idea. Instead, when I'm able to make a second character, perhaps then I could name him Ahzrukhal? I completely forgot about being able to have a second character. Oh I'm so dumb. When would I be able to do this, though? I could have sworn it was when you get to Level 50 but I see you have two characters, Kintobor, so that can't be the case. Would I have to participate on a certain amount of quests in order to do so? Quote

By the time you get to your second character, you have forgotten all about the name Ahzrukhal. Judging by your earlier behaviour, I think you have forgotten all about the name by tomorrow... Quote

I'll have it written down somewhere and kept in the back of my mind until then. Both of which may be lost. Quote

Originally, when I started #122, I was trying to play Lind as more of an Agent Coulson type. Then I got tired and I tried to bargain with the alien - which was not at all part of my character plan. After a few minutes, I went back to delete it, but Kintobar had already responded. Did I originally intend for Lind to be more of a wheeler-dealer? No, but if you call "mulligan" to every action that you want to change, then you're going to miss out on actually playing a character, and having fun watching them develop*. *That being said, my apologies to #122 on how stilted I've been for most of it. Participate in 15 Quests (FoG Quests count) or host 5 Quests. Speaking of that, I honestly wonder if that number of quest hostings shouldn't be raised a bit? Hosting five quests doesn't really seem as if it requires the same amount of time commitment as playing through fifteen. Edited March 28, 2015 by Lind Whisperer Quote

Hosting five quests doesn't really seem as if it requires the same amount of commitment as playing through fifteen. It encourages more QMing though. I'm sure that running battles, managing players, and crafting an enjoyable experience for said players, let alone doing it for five quests, is just as much commitment as playing through fifteen quests.

I'll remember to ask you if you still feel the same after you've hosted five quests. But yeah, it is a way to promote quest hosting, since only a fraction of the players are doing it. Quote
