LotR roleplay discussion thread

After some discussion with Bozos on MSN I have decided that I shall explain the magic system much better than it has been done so far.

A magic user (mage or healer) has 100% energy to start with. There are four categories of spell sizes: minor, intermediate, major and massive. Casters can be specialized or not. Here are the spell costs depending on caster (minor/intermediate/major/massive).

Non specialist all spell classes: 10/25/50/100 (if a massive spell is used the caster can't cast a massive spell for the next two days)

Specialist: own spell class: 5/10/25/75

other spell class: 20/40/75/can't do

10% is recovered per game-hour.

If a minor duration wants to be added to a spell then that multiplies its cost by 2. If a longer duration wants to be added that multiplies by 3 and if a permanent duration wants to be added that multiplies by 5. This applies to spells which can have a duration. Not all spells can be made permanent. This shall have to be discussed with me if you wish to make a spell permanent. If by using this the cost of a spell goes above 100 the spell can be cast but the mage's energy shall go into the negativ domain and he/she won't be able to do anything until the energy goes back up to 100.

Example:

Telekinetically throwing a dagger once costs 10 for a non specialist, throwing it several time during five minutes costs 20, throwing it several times during an hour costs 30, this spell can't be made permanent.

The spell classes are: elemental, telekinetic, healing, life/death, other. I think they are pretty self explanatory. Other should be use if a spell really can't be categorized.

The current magic users in the game are:

Therlion: telekinetic specialist.
Terias: elemental specialist.
Robyn: healing specialist.
Adohorn: general caster, but his maximum is only 25%. He gets this power for being an old elf.

If I forgot anyone then tell me.

Ok, sorry I havnt posted yet guys, ive been busy and havnt visited here for a while, but ill get right to it.

[Bozos of Bones]

So, as new players gathered and we hope yet new players will gather, I'll post in the used colors so far.
Therlion - Bozos - Silver
Kirun - Cienden - Red
Adohorn - Ross -Blue
Robyn - dplax(temporarily) - Yellow
Roland - Bozos - Lightgreen
Arandor - dplax - Black
Keal - Keal - Orange
Feldorn - dplax - Green
Celedor - Morgan - Red and Blue
Turin - Larry - Skyblue
Kalam - dplax - Orchid
Terias - The Fallen One - Red
Harmeth - dplax - Purple
Guard Captain - dplax - Grey
Glurg - dplax - White

OK, people. who ever is using red and blue please come to an agreement to use different colors, it is confusing. That's Morgan's Celedor, Ross's Adohorn, Fallen One's Terias and Cienden's Kirun.

I'll change the guard captain to grey and Harmeth to purple then. Could you update the list to show this? I'll edit the guard captain posts and when Harmeth returns shall post in purple for her.

Il change mine if you wish, but Id just like to say my colour is infact not blue, but a custom blue.

blue
The colour I use

See a difference? Ok I know it's small but.

[dplax]

You should discuss with Morgan seeing he is the other one using blue.

[RoSs_bg2_rox]

dplax, I was going to post, but then I realised that I don't know whether Adohorn actually knows who these people are. Was he told or are they strangers to him?

[dplax]

Adohorn hasn't seen the people yet and has only heard the soft sound of their horses hooves on the snow. He doesn't know who approaches and whether it is friend or foe.

[RoSs_bg2_rox]

Ok thanks. Im going out just now but I'l post later tonight.
