Generic (Totally orginal) Fantasy roleplay. Part two!

[Philote]

Some suggestions: You don't get another combat ability till level 7, and you probably don't need two passive abilities in the first three levels, so you might want to move things around.

Sense blood I could see being moved to a lower level, along with another active skill.

I think the two levels spent on increasing resistances are unnecessary, those would increase naturally anyways.

Level 12: Wings of Blood (Used for flight, 70 mana) might need to be a higher level, maybe just move it up two levels and move the others down.

You don't gain many active skills till higher levels (also need to give examples for each level of blood manipulation)

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

How is it now?

[Philote]

Combine levels 3 and 4, put new skill for level 3.
Same for 16 and 19, put new skill for 19.
Combine 9 and 10, put new skill for 10.

This will give you room for more techniques.

[Philote]

I think this class fits the format of the Rp better than the soulsword one. Soulsword techniques don't seem to translate well to the 20 level system.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

I noticed. How's it look now, though?

[Philote]

Looks pretty good so far, Have to wait for Zale for full permission to use. One thing though

10: Resistance to vampirism
This is very situational, a lot of the time this will be no use to you, unlike poison resistance which can happen in multiple situations. So I would say it would be beneficial to replace, or upgrade (Maybe add charm resistance, since Vampires can charm, but that would be 4 resistances which might be a little much.)

[Philote]

Also, even after it has been approved to use, you can upgrade it if you get inspiration, will just have to get new draft of it approved again before use.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

For some reason, I feel that Zale would say he wants to use it for a bad guy. What do you think of the idea of a Mageslayer class though?

[Philote]

I don't think he would have any problem with you playing a bloodmage (Doesn't mean that he won't use the class for a NPC as well). He might have some suggestions for tweaking the class as well before he approves.

I'd have to see more of what you mean for a mageslayer class (Something with magic immunity might be too strong for a player). You can create a class to be used as part of the story though, one you wouldn't control yourself.

[Philote]

Your class has inspired me to think up a new ability for my own: PotionBlood. The Potion Summoner's blood is replaced with a magical substance. (I'll have to think more of what it does as a skill now) New Level 20 skill.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

The Mageslayer class would probably be an NPC's, based on the way it's going.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

You're welcome.... I just thought of another class.... the.... Vampire/Zombie/Lycanthrope Slayer!!! ...not. It's actually the Armsmaster class. Just need to work out the mechanics for it.

[Philote]

I'll check them out when you post them.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Well, here's the Mageslayer:

Mageslayer Class (NPC Class)
Tough their numbers are few, Mageslayers are feared by mages for their powers and hatred of all mages.
Anti-Mana per level: Level times 10
Class Abilities:
1. Can catch low-level magick in hands and throw it back (Upgrades at Lvls 12 and 18, 5 Anti-Mana)
2. Resistance to low-level magicks (Increases at Lvls 7 and 13, Passive)
3. Can store Anti-Mana in objects for later use and to prevent enchantments (Cost is Mageslayer's choice)
4. Can destroy enchantments/curses with Anti-Mana (Cost is equal to mana used for enchantment/curse)
5. Gain skill at archery or dual-wielding (Increases at Lvls 9 and 14)
6. Can prevent a being from using magick for 10 minutes by touching them (Increases by 1 minute every other level, 5 Anti-Mana)

8. Speed and attack power increased
9. Can make weapons and shields magic-resistant (70 Anti-Mana)
10. Can create Sorcerium (Liquid Metal) Fully powered at Lvl 20 (30 Anti-Mana)
11. Speed is now high enough to create afterimages.
12. Minor Sorcerium Manipulation (Generalized shapes, 30 Anti-Mana)
13. Can punch defensive magicks away (100 Anti-Mana)
14. Defensive power increased
15. Immunity to mind reading/control

17. Can meld Sorcerium with other metals
18. Immunity to one school of magick

20. Major Sorcerium Manipulation (60 Anti-Mana, Complex shapes)

So, what do you all think of this NPC Class?

[Philote]

The first skill will be overpowered, at level 20 they could shut down a magic user for 30 minutes for 5 anti-mana out of their total of 200.

I'm guessing Sorcerium is magic resistant?

You have a lot of skills that you gain a weak version of early on, then a higher version later. You could put these on one level and say how they change at a certain level. This will free up levels to put more anti-mana skills.

Also, like level 14, you could put something that goes with the increased stat, such as a change in their skin which would be the reason for why they have increased defense. Like you added afterimage ability to speed upgrade for level 11.

Here's a possible class:

Blood Mage
Mana per level: 10 times level
Skills gained at each level:
1: Basic Blood Manipulation (External blood, 10 minutes in 10 meter radius, 5 mana, generalized shields and blasts)
2: Sense Blood (Passive, 10 meter radius increases by 5 meters with each level)
3: Resistance to Sickness, Disease, and Poison (Passive)
4: Comm. Gems (Those whose blood is part of the gem can read each others' minds)
5: Blood Gems (Require 1 ounce of blood per gem, store blood for future use)
6: Can heal others by controlling their blood by touch (20 mana)
7: Medium Blood Manipulation (25 mana, External blood, 10 minutes in 40 meter radius, weapons and armor)
8: Can examine others by drinking their blood (Can determine diseases, poisons, toxins, general health, etc. Passive when drinking blood)
9: Gain natural claws and fangs
10: Resistance to vampirism
11: Temporary power boost by drinking others' blood (+5 mana/ ounce of blood)
12: Advanced Blood Manipulation (External blood, 10 minutes in 70 meter radius, 50 mana, complex creations)
13: Regenerative Blood Covering (Slowly heals wounds of mage, 60 mana)
14: Wings of Blood (Used for flight, 70 mana)
15: Sentient Blood Animals (The creatures can fight by creator's side but may not, 30 mana)
16: Immunity to Sickness, Disease, and Poison (Passive)
17: Blood Puppets (Can take control of up to 2 enemies within a 200 meter radius for 10 minutes, 50 mana)
Lvl 18: Purple Blood Summon (Purple blood is harder than diamond when hardened and conducts electricity when in liquid form, summons 5 ounces of Purple Blood for 60 mana, Purple Blood Gems cost 20 mana instead of 0 mana)
19: Can turn ordinary blood into special bloods (20 mana per ounce changed)
20: Total Blood Manipulation (External blood, 10 minutes in 100 meter radius, 50% of remaining mana)
Having copied their initial magicks from ancestral vampire, Blood Mages are often mistaken for vampires due to their blood drinking habits.

Interesting. Normally I wouldn't want to give a flat manipulation of something, but since this is rather specific..

I do need to know what each level of blood manipulation would be capable of.

You should also know that some people will be a tad bit afraid of a blood mage. You'll have to deal with social repercussions if you use your magic near normal people, the same as a necromancer would.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Ok, thanks for the review. I was prepared for the thought of social repercussions in the first place.
Minor Blood Manip. would be capable of creating general shapes like squares, spheres, circles, etc as well as causing the blood to harden or soften up again.
Medium could create weapons, armor, and shields as well as control to a limited degree the blood's temperature (33 C to 40 C)
Advanced could control more than just one's own species' blood. E.G. Human Blood Mage can now control orc blood.
Total would be able to control every aspect of the blood.
Of course all of them would only affect blood outside of a body.

[Zaleramancer]

I have to wonder how one hardens blood..

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Well, a scab is hardened blood, right? So, all the blood mage is doing is playing around with natural functions of blood. Everything else is good, right?
