Generic (Totally Original) Fantasy Roleplay. Part III.

Liana sounds good.

Now to select magic items..

[Celadon's Penultimate]

You're making a D&D character, or a character for this RP?

[Zaleramancer]

D&D Character.

Sheet here.

Nixie Warlock.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Hm... interesting.

[Zaleramancer]

You have no idea what half of that means, do you.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 Not a clue.

More than anything, I was interested by the thought of a nixie being a warlock; first, most of the mythical creatures folks think of like Dryads, Gnomes, Gremlins, etc, don't really take classes. At least, not fay. Like, you would never see a Leprechaun Rogue, or an Asrai Ranger, or a Harpy Wizard. And second, I typically think of a warlock as a male mage (one who was either half-demon, or who had made some pact with a demon, or whose magic produced demonic effects).

[The Junkyard Cat]

Back from cousins bday so what classes are there I might have an idea for my character but I would like to know whats out there.

[Zaleramancer]

Warlocks are a type of caster that utilizes At-Will abilities rather than limited use Spells.

However, their abilities are far more limited in scope and versatility and they get far less of them than a Spellcaster does Spells.

They do get endurance out of it. A Warlock can keep magic-ing things all day long. They never run out of juice.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

There's plenty of classes. Lots and lots, quite frankly.

[Zaleramancer]

Well, normally you don't play as monsters.

But some you can, at the price of taking on a Level Adjustment (Empty Levels, basically) or Racial Hit Die.

In this case, a Nixie has a LA of 3. So a level four Nixie Warlock counts a level 7 character.. despite having less health, skill points, class abilities, etc..

It's rarely worth it. In this case, a Nixie gets crazy Charisma and some nice Spell-Like abilities. Which are nice.


Warlocks in D&D usually have some type of pact with powers unknown, or their ancestors did.

This can be demons or devils, but it can also be fey creatures.

In this case, the class represents a further sharpening of her own innate powers.

Right, you asked about the Blood Mage class I made. It's all about controlling blood to heal, fight, and do a few other utility things, but isn't as good at them as well as the classes dedicated to those specific functions. As for the letter ratings, Zale, Wulf, someone please rate all of my classes for me, s'il vous plaît! They're all in the second part of this series of thread and the Knowledge thread! (Blood Mage, Blade Dancer, and Shinigami)

[The Junkyard Cat]

Uh are there any ranged classes yet?

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 I repeat. Interesting.

[Zaleramancer]

I think Neo made a Ranger class.

Or was it someone else..

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Greenday beat you to it. First page of the Knowledge thread 5th post if I recall correctly.

[The Junkyard Cat]

what is it like?

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 Huh.

Well, good luck with that. Sounds pretty interesting so far.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

GD and Neo haven't even been on lately...

I mean, Neo, a couple times, but, only barely.

[Zaleramancer]

Another interesting thing was a thread about the schools of Magic.

Someone wanted 8 Wizard Rulers, each a master of a different school of magic, each with a different D&D Alignment.

It was interesting watching people assign alignments to each school.

I just made some NPCs.

The Enchantress (LG) is a beloved ruler. She's something of a puppet-master, but refrains form ruling her subjects utterly. Instead, she smooths things over. The Kingdom was fraught with blood-feuds and horrible invasions before she ascended to the throne, but now there's an air of amiability and safety. Any invading army would soon find themselves visited by the Enchantress, who would persuade them to return from whence they came before any blood is spilled.

The Necromancer (NG) is something of an distant ruler. He allows a council to rule for him day-to-day, as his time is consumed with his work. It's only thanks to his tireless efforts that the dead remain in their graves and catacombs. Before he came, zombies and skeletons wandered the hills. Vampires and Liches established their own private fiefdoms, murdering living people or using them as a food supply. Now no one must fear the night any longer.

The Envoker (CG) is something of a loose cannon. He's highly regarded in the military and among the common people for his informality and lack of general snootiness. His powerful spells are this small kingdom's only real defenses. Due to it's location, this kingdom has long been the battle field for countless wars. Now, with a powerful wizard threatening to rain arcane destruction upon anyone who dares invade, people can lay down their arms and get on with living.

The Illusionist (LN) is swathed in mystery and formalities. She is strict, canny and very fixated on propriety. Her kingdom is was a loose confederacy of warring states before she assumed command. Though some grumble about the loss of their Independency, they have no doubt that thanks to their new rulers iron will and cunning illusions, they'll come out ahead in the future.

The Diviner (CN) is rather.. odd. He is known for being reclusive and eccentric, often speaking with strange mannerisms or doing bizarre things. His advice is, however, right about eighty percent of the time. As such, he was swiftly elevated by a several nobles into a position of king-hood, so that they could better act out on the advice of their puppet-king.

The Conjurer (LE) is a tyrant. His slaves, both demonic and devlish, are everywhere. Even the slightest hint of deviancy from his laws are met with sudden punishment. Many people vanish in the night, to be taken the gods only know where. People mourn the past, before their king passed his power onto his only lawful son.

The Abjurer (NE) cares for nothing. She thinks herself beyond all possible harm. Her rise to power was nothing short of horrible and bloody, cutting directly through the ranks of power. But now that she has this power, she does nothing with it, only plotting her next interesting act of evil. Everyone, terrified of her, goes through the motions of patriotism in fear that she may strike out at them if they fail to.

The Transmuter (CE) is formless and everchanging. Everyday, he or she rises with a new body and form. From giant animals to horrid abberations without any logic or reason behind it. More monster than man, this being keeps the palace of the Kingdom as it's lair, occasionally going out to butcher nobles or commoners in a new form. People live constantly on the edge, wondering if today was the day that they would die.
