If I combined 5,6 and 7 I would have to make up two new skills and I can't think of any.

Do Jester's living blade idea and my spell enchantment idea.
Romans 8:31 What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?

1 Corinthians 13:1-3 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

Does the soul eating sword require you to kill them before it eats their soul?

What does the "Black Flame of Chaos" do, exactly?

Looks fairly good.

Think along the terms of the stupid black flames that Sasuke's brother Use in narruto. They basically burn through anything destroying it, magic, spirits, rocks, and keep burning unless dispelled with holy water, or a spell of opposite strength. Just a warrning. This chracter will most likely be evil and may kill the others in their sleep.

You may want to bump that up a few levels then.

So, what will you be rerolling as after your character leaves the party/is killed by the party?

What class will you make for your new character, once this character leaves everyone else or is killed by everyone else?

Unless you'd like to do a bit of a solo arc, or become a recurring villain.

Yeah, I may be considered either evil or incompetent half the time but I'm not stupid enough to be a villain. I'll leave it up to you. Minstel or Monster?

Just pick whichever one you want.

Please don't make this come back to haunt me..

I'm fine with either, but for some reason I'm leaning more towards chaotic evil recently.

WHich one do you think is best.

So..

I'm thinking of adding various fantasy races with perks.

Like how half-demons can sniff out magic.

Any ideas/objections/comments?

No objections, I think adding those to the NPC should make things interesting.

Only thing that would need discussion would be player races.

So, how about everyone puts together a list of playable races they think are a good idea, and I'll try to give them shiny abilities.

Half demons should be capable of sensing magic, perhaps talking to spirits and other demons, and maybe slightly hightened senses, and unnatural human skills like scaling walls.  

Elves could have a super aiming skill, the ability to blend into their respective environment, and maybe supernatural hearing, and an eccellerated healing rate.

Might have added too much for the half demons but come on, their half demons. Maybe an inherent weakness to purifying spells and the like.

Let's start with the most basic one.

Humans

An very populous and versatile race, humans are literally everywhere and capable of nearly anything. The human tongue is known as Common.

*Humans may increase one of their stats by one step during character creation. This choice may not be changed later on.
*Humans may select one ability as a signature ability. Signature abilities are increased in effectiveness, and may be used twice per day at no cost. Once per week, a human may switch over this status to a new ability.
