Oh and DrowArchmage don't forget to put in the < /font> (without the space of course) tags at the end of the text where you put the colour.
Oh and I just edited out the sig from my post from yesterday. [ 07-24-2005, 03:47 AM: Message edited by: dplax ] |

At the very least, your character will need to be modified, specifically, the 'fey' herritage part which has no place in this world. His stats will also need modifying as they're far too powerful compared to the others. Twin Scimitars may also need to go, but we'll see. As to the assassin/ranger bio... its a little much right now. But we'll see. Give me a chance to think it over. --- I'm going to make a few 'suggestions' to your character which will help set him on a par with the other player's sheets. Remember: don't take this personally and I'm willing to compromise on most things. (changes will be placed beside the original in red Name:Zakaria Gender:Male Age:28 Height: 6'1 Weight: 80 pounds (isn't 80 pounds a little light for a 6'1 character..?) Build: Slim and muscular Skin Tone: Well tanned (bear in mind that this is a medevial temperate setting, meaning, if you're covered up all the time, there is no way you could be 'tanned') Hair Colour: Purple with silver streaks (Please change this to a 'normal' colour, such as brown, blonde, black or the like.) Eye colour: Tiger eyes (again, please change to a normal colour) Attributes - (As a suggestion I wouldn't use more than 18 points at most) Str:3 (3 can stay) End:3 (3 can stay) Agil:5 (change from 5 to 4 - and this is you're highest stat) intel:2 aura:3 (3 is okay but you've got several '3's, you might want to drop one to 2 giving you've a stat in 4) per:2 spr:2 (Why is your Spr at 2 when you've majored in magic? It should be at least 3 - but seeing as you've put 4 in Agi, you're not going to put 4 in spr too. 3 would be better, but if you do, I would suggest dropping either Str or End to 2 to even it out. Skills Physical Sprinting/Running: novice climbing: novice jumping: novice acrobatics: adept Worldly Weponssmith: novice woodwork: novice herbalism: adept Alchemy: novice Tracking/hunting:Master Mental Concentration: novice Discipline: adept Magic Minor: fire ( - this wasn't there the last time I saw your sheet. You've editted it in and made it more powerful. It can stay, I suppose, but not if you want 'darkness' too.) Major: Darkness ( - please list the 'spells for this and put it under spells or in brackets next to the Sphere. And please move it down to 'minor' or take out "weapon mastery" and change it to "acolyte".) Wepon Mastery:Twin Scimatars (Please lose the scimitars since they wouldn't exist in a european medievial setting. Secondly, you've got 'mastery' and 'major' both, as previously mentioned. Please choose one. I would suggest something like a 'longsword', 'broadsword' or the like. Or even dual shortswords. But honestly, attempting to dual wield anything larger than a shortsword would be difficult. I know you've got 4 in Agi, but it is something to think about.) Special Attack: Dark Blades,surrounds sword blades in black enrgy,devastatingly powerful becuse it draw on the netherworld for power,almost kills the user by draining life energy to open the netherworld portal. (No. Just no. Drawing energy from the 'netherworld' is so completely overpowering that I refuse to allow it. It may look 'cool', but given the others abilities, it isn't fair. I would suggest instead, something along the lines of: "Channelling Magic(Darkness) through the blades - combining both magic and swordplay for a limited time, Zak can cast 'shadow blades' - which causes him to split into up to five replicas of himself and his swords which perform limited physical and magical damage and are indistinguishable from his 'true form', meaning no one can tell them apart without scrying magic. These shadows can attack any target but must stay within a certain range of one another, or fade into nothingness. It is also a good disruption technique. Zak is all of these and none of them at once, meaning, he will only reappear when all five shadows are destroyed. He may choose to end this at any time.") special ability: Able to blend completly within the shadows,can also levitate. (Able to blend within shadows is fine, but levitate is not.) Inventory: Black assasins cloak,with special powers that you'll find out about eventually. - (No. No magical items. And don't have an 'assassin's' cloak, or any other item with the lable 'assassin' or 'ranger' or anything like that in front of it. Say a 'black cloak' or 'dark cloak' or something along those lines instead. After all, assassins don't necessarily always wear black - its stereotyping them and that's a bad thing.) -torch(2) -Money(gold-1 SP-5 LSP-3) -Daggers in boots -Scimatars on both his sides -assasins pendant -assasins rings(3) -enough food for 3 days Appearance and Personality: Zak is slightly built,and well taned. Bio: He is a trained assasin,but is more intrested in using his talents as a ranger.He has worked for both the nobles and the bandits and has killed some of both. He is dark and mysterious and isnt to be annoyed.His childhood is dark,his parents were killed in a raid by a very large group of bandits who plunderd through the fortune and left little. Although he wont openly admit it,his heritage is a blessing.He likes to keep his hair short and colourd.Mainly purple or silver.If he were to grow it out,his true identity would be reviled. (This needs changing. As stated before, no half elf herritate. Therefore, no fancy colours for his hair or eyes. Your bio makes him infamous - meaning, there will be bounty hunters after him. I would change it, were I you. You've never explained why or how he was trained as an assassin. It would be better to say he was trained as a swordsman, possibly for several years away from home and when he returned he discovered that bandits had burnt, plundered and taken everything - including his parents lives and then turned to using his swordsman's skills as an assassin. However, I would question the whole 'working for bandits and nobles' both if bandits slew his family. You make him sound like a mercenary for hire. Whilst that's all well and good, you should be careful not to make him too mercenary-like, if only so it makes it easier to have loyalties to the party. If gold is his only goal, then its more difficult to roleplay with the party for when say, if the villain offers him a large amount. Of course, if you want it that way, its fine, but its just something to look out for. Aside from that, I would lose the ranger thing and simply say that he was taught to track as a child, and used to spend weeks in the forest with his father or someone and that's where he learnt his forestlore.) -- Quote:
And yes, like that.

Few questions about the RP before I can post:
1) How many bandits are there and where are they standing (in comparison to the 'party')? 2) Do we know there are snipers? It's too early for me to read through all the posts, I haven't woken up yet [img]tongue.gif[/img] Edit: I just read that the peasants who tried to run across got shot down by arrows, so I'll take that as a yes [ 07-25-2005, 04:15 AM: Message edited by: Ivelliis ]
