Off topic introductory ramble:
Spoiler! :
Okay it seems my ambition got a little ahead of me when planning this. Non linier stories, complex strategy, and massive sprawling battles are all much easier said than done. I've just not had the time or motivation to get it all to the level I'd have liked to.

That said I have made significant additions and improvements over the past month & the feedback I got back from the test run was fairly positive. I feel have enough now to begin a proper campaign, even if it is shorter and less ambitious than I'd originally planned.

We begin where any good RPG should, with character selection and customisation.
If you are interested in taking part please state which avatar you would like to play, assign them up to 40 skill points in the categories listed (15 max per category), and select 4 feats from the class trees at the bottom. Your characters begin at level 3, so you may only select feats that are on or below the 3rd row on the chart.

If you like, but it won't have any effect on gameplay.
I never wrote a proper story either, so if you want to come up with backstories and/or Character interactions between missions feel free.

i shall cast Ice Rain centered in the middle of the archers on the left.
i shall then move 2 blocks to the left to take cover behind Taint

Beard i think Rock Shield might be handy to bottleneck em at the start/provide cover from thier mage.

Tehbeard wrote:Stupid question: feat then movement or can I also move then feat?
I hadn't actually thought of that. With the increased movement speed the rogue could kite enemies forever :?
Let's say -1 move penalty per feat. Also movements come before feats.


Turn 1, Ally 6/6 Complete

Movements:
Vallorn moves 2 squares to the left (-1 move penalty for using a feat).
Iron Fang moves 3 squares to the right
Milo Windby moves 1 square to the right
Tehbeard moves 2 squares to the right (-1 move penalty for using a feat).
Wildwill moves 3 squares forward
Attacks:
None yet
Feats:
Vallorn casts ice rain, hitting 3 orcs and dealing normal damage. The spell will last all this turn and the next. Vallorn is now down to 60 mana.
Tehbeard casts Rock shield. The obstacle will remain for 3 turns.
Tehbeard is now down to 120 mana.

Ok, I think for the moment I will get beside Dark's character, just slightly behind him and to the right.

I won't be in range of anything so that is my turn.

Re: Fantasy RPG

Posted: 03 Sep 2011, 16:55

In that case I move 3 paces to the right, and cast rock shield 4 paces infront and 2 right to protect most of the group from the orc warlock.
