Just google whatever kind of smiley you want.

Like Goth smiley, or Frankenstein smiley, or Grinning smiley or ROFL smiley.

Do you recall that other thread I talked about in the Message thread?

About spellbooks?

It's gotten to about 33 pages and 962 responses.

I wonder when It shall die.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

WOW.

Then again, I'm not all THAT surprised. I'd probably be just as jaded if it ran into another thread, to be quite honest.

[Zaleramancer]

It's starting to slow down.

The only real reason it's still going it because of one suborn person who keeps arguing... and the eight other people who keep responding to him.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Oh, hehe, is THAT all?

EIGHT people? Hehe, might get three threads outta that one.

My class is an alchemist. I either intend for the skills to be limited by my own power replenished by resting or it puts physical strain on me. I doubt I would need much material seeing as I only have to transmutate it into the necessary ingredients for things, though I do not intend for any of my skills to require such things.

[GreenDay]

I think most of my abilities would involve having something to do with nature, and I can't use my powers if I cease to revere nature.

...I"m still trying to decide on a few things for my character.....

[Zaleramancer]

But.. Is there anything stopping you from just summoning an army of bears?

[jester_of_god]

I'm assuming us....For my character I still want to try the Jack of all trades motif...I'm looking for a bit of a cross between a minstrel, a thief, an elementalist, amatuer martial artist, and a spirit medium.

[Zaleramancer]

So long as you put up the class/class abilities and a resource system then make whatever you want.

I will look over yours very, very carefully.

[jester_of_god]

..Define resource system.

Also.. I'd like to have some kind of limit on how many times someone can use an ability. Mostly to prevent people from just spamming away on powerful skills.

Once per day seem low.

But I encourage interesting ways to do this.

You could make it have once-twice a day at lower levels and increase every two-three levels.

Or you could have a pool of points (Think mana) and have each one cost a certain number of points. The pool would be restored after resting.

Or you could make it so that each time you used it, you gained a point (Like Physical Strain or something) and once it goes over a certain limit determined by level, you begin to suffer a penalty.

Or you could make each ability consume a certain kind of item (Sulfur for fireballs?) that you must purchase and store.

[jester_of_god]

...fair enough then. I 'll type something up.

What about inate abilities?

[Zaleramancer]

Inate would be?

[GreenDay]

Other than my Animal Companions, I would need something the animal really likes or something like it's fur or teeth to summon it. And can we have over 20 skills?

[Zaleramancer]

Can you even think of over twenty?

I start to run out of ideas after about six or seven.


Anyway, I think that twenty is more than enough.

Feel free to try and persuade me otherwise, though.

[GreenDay]

I just meant if there were some abilities that could be just utilities, or could in the right situation be used for combat, like making water, or clearing or growing a path of plants, or shaping wood metal or stone, and so on and so forth.

[GreenDay]

And I can actually think of a lot more than twenty for my character.
