• Entilliumn: boy, this ain't your father's standard D&D
  Pliksain Ct'pter is accepted. The following changes have been implemented:
  -Class: Sage: a magic wielder trained in both the arts of harming and healing.
  -Elderly Knowledge: your Intelligence and Knowledge (or you can call it Wisdom w/e) are increased by 2 during relevant checks.
  -Special: Magic Missile +: Target an enemie(s) in the room up to 4 times for low damage. Attacks always hit. 5 turn cooldown.
  
• Ent misunderstands something and I guess I should clarify this so nobody else does: This ain't D&D, folks. I'm not following any standard rulebooks. The spells, class skills, enemies, pretty much everything may or may not be made up. I do believe I said "Similar" to D&D but I didn't say it was. for reference, some definitive differences:
  
  >There will only ever be one die type. D 20. no D4 no D6 no D8 no NADA. "How will you determine damage for spells that are weaker or stronger then?", you ask? Fixed modifiers. :> "Too OP!", ye say?
  
  HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
  HAHAHAH
  AHahaha ha ha oh man you're funny
  ...you can be scared now
  
  >CHARACTER DEATHS ARE FAR LESS PERMANENT. "why?"
  a.) because I have a stat entirely devoted to affecting how likely you are to have extremely helpful or utterly horrible events occur to you
  b.) this game is full of deathtraps. lots of deathtraps. so many.
  c.) because you can be That Guy who kills your teammates if you want, the only punishment for it is the likelihood of the others to fuck you up in return
  d.) because if people had to make a new character or wait to be revived every time they died this thread would either be more app than game or boring as hell, respectively
  
  >Skill, Spell and monster compendiums don't follow D&D standards and never probably will. They might have a few classics thrown in here and there but mostly no.
  
  >I don't actually have access to any kind of D&D DM manual so while I've played D&D enough times to understand how it works most of the time, I neither have all the rules memorized nor have the desire to make this game which is basically a gigantic clusterfuck I'm doing for fun into something that tedious
  
  anyways,
  
• calibornio: Nobody's done this yet because this isn't MSPA...
  Tablestick Ball (Pool) is "accepted" with the following warning:
  Sepulchritude is not a stat in this game!
  In addition, the following changes have been implemented:
  -Lucky Charms: Pool requires 2 less points to succeed in Speech Checks against "MALE" characters, and 2 more to succeed in Speech Checks against "FEMALE" characters.
  -Past Tracer: Pool can see where enemies have been in the past two turns, but only in his current room. This ability is ineffective on enemies with a higher Luck stat than Pool, and does not reveal what kind of enemy he is tracking.
  -Special: Speedster: Pool may perform a second attack this turn. 4 turn cooldown.
  
• Mordegai: Bernard is not accepted due to being not only incomprehensible but literally having a special whose effect could be distilled to "Hold up the game for a turn". Funny, but it doesn't work. Sorry.
  
• Schaz: Tau is accepted. The following changes have been implemented:
  -Thousand Tongued: Tau gains a modifier to Speech checks equal to half the difference of the Target's intelligence stat and Tau's Intelligence stat. The smarter the target, the more likely they are to be convinced and vice-versa.
  -Treasuremonger: Tau can evaluate a general sale price of any item he examines (this is automatic for items in his inventory). In addition, he can compare two similar items and obtain a general idea of which is more more "Valuable".
  -Magical Beast: Tau is immune to most spells, and takes half magic damage.
  
  -Special: Riddlespinner: a target that answers incorrectly is STUNNED for 3 turns. If the Riddle is answered correctly, Tau becomes unable to agress that target in any form for 6 turns. Cooldown of ONCE PER ENEMY ENCOUNTER due to unique nature.
  
  
• BTM: Sir Jairus von Shlickensberg IV is not accepted for the following reasons:
  
  >I need a height and weight in the given measurements! No Cop-outs!

• BTM: Sir Jairus Von Schlickenburg IV - whose full name I refuse to type again in this post it's way too long and I'm on a 3ds - is accepted. The following changes have been implemented:
  
  -The Invisible Man: Enemies require 4 more points to detect Jairus.
  -The Strong Man has been classified as a Spell or Skill. You may not make a replacement Trait without losing use of this ability. (i.e. a Trait saying "If an enemy adjacent to [Player Character] deals damage to [Player Character], [Player Character] has a chance of dealing the same amount of damage to the attacker automatically" is qualified as a trait. A trait saying "X can attack an enemy with a crescent slash that hits twice" is actually a Skill [or Spell].) Jairus throws an object at the target. Variable damage and MP cost.
  -The Shield Maiden: Jairus can create a shield that reduces damage to allies within two spaces of him by 1/2, and to him by 3/4. Jairus cannot move while the shield is active. Drains 10 MP per turn while active.
  -Special: The Feisty Maid: Very Weak Damage, however Jairus may charge for x turns. Each turn waited increases the damage. Maximum charge time is 10 turns. Cooldown is 5 turns + 1/2 the number of turns you Charged.
  
  
• Tick: Kettleclatter is accepted
  the following changes have been made:
  -Try Anything Once: Kettleclatter gains an additional 4 points to his first attempt at any Feat, and loses 2 for any and all subsequent attempts of that Feat or similar Feats ("grabbing a ledge" in any instance gains +4 the first time, and -2 any other time, regardless of wording, so long as the action itself is similar.)
  -I Laugh At These Inferior Fleshpuppets: Kettleclatter is immune to the Poison and Shock statuses, is immune to Poison damage, and takes 1/2 Ice and Lightning damage.
  -Humiliate is not really a useable trait; you may make a replacement or let me do it.
  -Special: Comical Disarm: If successful, the enemy is disarmed and requires an additional 4 points to succeed in checks for the action "find and re-equip weapon". 3 turn cooldown.
  
  
• further announcements:
  -Player list still under construction, please be patient
  -Game starts Monday at the earliest
  -COMBAT AND ONLY COMBAT WILL BE GRID BASED TO SOME DEGREE. This is what I'm referring to by "adjacent" and etc.
  -There will be a public map containing all currently known rooms as well as character positions on the current floor(s) (unless an effect stops this from occuring.) Doors will be marked only when entered at least once. Traps, enemy locations and etc.will not be marked (unless caused by a temporary effect).
  -There are ??? Floors in the dungeon. The ultimate objective is to leave the Dungeon.
  -A Player Character can be revived in 4 ways, if they die:
  1.) Respawn Point: A PC may, upon encountering a Respawn Point, temporarily Tether their Soul to the point. Upon dying, if the PC is not revived via another method in 3 turns (or if the PC chooses, instantly), they will be teleported to the Respawn Point and Revived. Upon Revival, the Soul Tether is broken, and the respawn point must be activated again to revive the PC. Respawn points can only be activated a certain number of times before breaking permanently.
  2.) Revival Item or Spell: DUH
  3.) Altar of Life: on a certain floor, in a certain room, there is an Altar which can revive the dead. If you can carry a dead PC here and place them on the altar, they will be revived after five turns have passed. Only one PC can be on the Altar at any time.
  -4.)Pay The Reaper: Death, contrary to popular belief, can be bribed. A PC may pay 500 gold * their combined stat total or 1000 * their level - whichever is higher - to be revived instantly at any time. (base level = 3000 gold).

The idea behind it is that Jairus, as a wisp, is constantly using his telekinesis to lift things like his clothes and glass ball. The Strong Man simply describes his strength and range to lift things.

• Ethereal: Immune to Physical damage, but take doubled Magic damage (This would honestly better for you than Shield Maid, and if you do choose to use this it will replace Shield Maid, which would become your second starting Skill/Spell)
  
• Small Target: +2 to Evasion checks
  
• Etc.

• DoubleD: um... yeah you misunderstand how this works don't you
  Also those names...
  
  Razadar is accepted with the following changes:
  
  -Overpower: Razadar gains +2 to his hit rate
  -Earthshaker: If Razadar rolls a Critical (NATURAL 20), he deals Medium Earth damage to all enemies within 2 spaces of him
  -Groundbreaker: If Razadar rolls a Natural 20 during damage calculations, up to 3 spaces adjacent to the target become non-navigable permanently.
  
  -Special: Leviathan Blow: Razadar deals Extreme Physical/Earth damage to the target, and activates both Earthshaker and Groundbreaker, regardless of their requirements. Once Per Encounter.
