Dark Gate OOC Thread

Re: Dark Gate OOC Thread

A bunch of backstory templates have since been added, but that's not what this announcement is for.

For those of you using DG4 mechanics, I've gone through with a few changes I've been considering for a while. Namely, Base Casting is gone and Focus checks has replaced it, the casting DCs to cast spells have increased significantly, and a bunch of Talents have been changed. In addition, off resistances have been changed to mainstat/6 + stat/3 and there is now a mostly unnecessary spot on character sheets for a class bonus reminder. These changes are fairly significant, so people running DG4 sheets right now will have to change their stuff.

I'm also considering a more drastic change that would dramatically lower the number of d10s being thrown around, but haven't decided on that yet.

Edit: Perception and Stealth are becoming Trades.

Ouch. I love the Uncivilized Template btw. It was more or less what I had hoped it would be minus the possibility of being unable to take a regular human language at start. Not that it would affect Tori being an Omni-Glot.

I have a butt load to change I see, reworded Skills and stats. Alongside picking up some perception if Rath doesn't let me add Uncivilized to my sheet.

How will this affect spells that Raise those Trades or will those be phased out?

Also Succubus Powers woot.

Unfortunate but, Erotic Magus and Wizard still say Base Casting + Mount RP talent doesn't give free ranks in Mount Trade?

Mount won't give any trade ranks. You have to buy those separately.

Erotic Magus didn't need to be changed, it just says casting, but Erotic Wizard needed a word removed.

Re: Dark Gate OOC Thread

I added a possible new race, maybe. Genies! The new Magic Word flaw got me thinking. Each genie has three words. Anyone who guesses one can force the genie to do one task once. So that's three tasks for anyone who knows all three words. That would be pretty damn major.

I'd also like to address this, I won't be adding Genie's not because there's anything wrong with the suggestion, but because djinn already exist in the lore as elemental daemons, and I don't generally let people play as full blown daemons because they're too powerful. Sorry.

Is there any need for Mount Trade if your just want one to ride on and not fight on?

So question does this mean taking and stacking Resistance Talent let's one easily raise their Casting stat? As its General and isn't restricted alongside the new reduce EXP for buying another instance of it is cheaper to raise the stat with the Talent then buying Stats or cross classing into Mage Skills.

Riding. And yes, if you want to control a mount, though it will only ever require one success.

Yes, but not as efficiently as going for pure casting bonuses, and raising mainstat also improves spell damage and other stats. This is all untested so far, so I'll have to work on rebalancing all of it.

How many successes do you need to get your mount to mount you.

Re: Dark Gate OOC Thread

I suspect that requires knowledge of which position your taking. Though doggy style confers a automatic success, two if your mount is a canine of some sort and three if you are shapeshifted into a canine or part canine ontop of that.

Canine? I wanted my mount to be an Amazonian Elephant.

I suspect then a unreasonable Body Score and Demi-Godly might.

Damn. Maybe we could make genie-kind a descendant race?

Re: Dark Gate OOC Thread

I wonder if that'd be okay. I'm sure

You must be registered to see the links

fans would be happy.

Re: Dark Gate OOC Thread

No.

Okay, but, how about yes?

Literally just slap an elemental-kin template on your brown person of choice, or maybe that one that makes you into a ghost, bound to an item (your lamp). What more do you need? A weird bullshit Wish spell? Magic Word? Perhaps you actually roleplay it out instead of having some words on a sheet say you have to?

Re: Dark Gate OOC Thread

Ehe the new System makes Tori a better Caster somehow. Can cast Level 2 Body Spells and Level 1 else spells. Sure she can't cast Level 4 or 5 on good rolls unless she sacks some of Attack and all of Dodge and casts the +10 to Casting Checks spell before hand.

Re: Dark Gate OOC Thread

Umm, Hi not sure if I posted in the right place couldn't exactly see where I could put up some kind of interest in giving this a try if there is any GM's with spots free at all?

 

[Tassadar]

Re: Dark Gate OOC Thread

Yeah, here is fine. I think dragoon had space, dunno if anyone else did. Just write up a character sheet, and let me or Hafnium know if you have any lore or rules questions.

*Thumbs up* I managed to finish it off, hopefully I didn't miss anything.
