Hurrah!

[Laughing Hyena]

Awesome. I await the next turn eagerly!

[Zeus Kabob]

I'm still learning the combat system, so it'll be a few more days until I'm entirely solid on all the mechanics, and before anything becomes very consistent in combat. Thanks for your patience.

Currently:
NUM is damage.
NUM is critical hit damage. 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
NUM is lust damage.
[NUM] is updated health after damaging actions, listing those affected in the order damage is mentioned.
[NUM] is updated health after healing effects.
[NUM/NUM] is updated lust after all changes. The first number is lust, the second is max lust. For all characters but Kal, this is their current health.
(NUM) is updated SP after all changes.

Well Zeus, in response to your question regarding crit damage indication, maybe you could make it a red or maroon color, and italicize or underline it to help prevent it getting mixed up with post-damage HP numbers?

Anyways, yeah. For those who know what my character's a parody of, you probably saw that bit with his special coming. I figured if he's a parody to begin with, I might as well go all the way.

[That_One_Guy]

I'm gonna guess Fists of the North Star?

I'm gonna guess Fists of the North Star?

Technically, it's a singular "Fist," but yeah. I've got a thing for that show, you could say. Hell, I have FotNS: Ken's Rage on the X360, and if/when Ken's Rage 2 is localized, I'll consider getting it, too (depends on what the fans think of it). For a show about a guy who punches people and makes them asplode, the series has quite a bit of depth to it.

hey Zeus, whenever a group of people has finished in the campaign, just make a short post abut their return in the other IC, and then I'll distribute their winnings from there.

[Zeus Kabob]

Will do. We're now getting to group grapples, after which we'll be done.

[LoneWolf]

Voff, feel free to have Sander take the lead into the portal, since it's his book and all. I just wanted to get my post up tonight while I'm around.

[Voff]

No worries Wolf, just RP as you see best for your character. There's no need for Sander to take the lead. It's the GM's lead as far as I am concerned ^^ Meaning it's Taria's story. I just play the role of my character. I'm going to RP based on whatever you guys do.

Oh and by the way how are mages supposed to fight? Saw only non-mages in the tutorial so far (unless I am just being stupid and managed to miss something..). Are we supposed to only do spells which cost SP or do we have some sort of basic attacks? And do we have any spells other then our special?

[Zeus Kabob]

Good question. Your special skills (using SP) are useful to attack enemies, as they can scale off of int. As a mage, you'll need to learn more spells along the road to flesh out your arsenal.

[Zeus Kabob]

Important notice: in a team grapple, one person is designated to hold down the enemy, with all other members making basic grapple attacks on the target. In other words, the person holding the goblin doesn't deal lust damage. Garian, you're a very good holder as iirc lust damage scales off of INT.

[Laughing Hyena]

You saw a mage in the tutorial. Kal Okaku is a Wind Mage. ^_^

[LoneWolf]

I believe we can hit things with our staffs (although not necessarily very hard...)

Draco's Fleet Ifrit gives him a little bit of automatic damage, as well. If the worst comes to worst, I can always just walk them to death.

[Zeus Kabob]

Taria, will the book of souls expedition go into the "endless campaign" thread in combat?

[Taria]

nope, that's only for campaign battles.

[Voff]

Ah there was a mage in there. Slipped my notice, sorry about that.

Indeed Wolf, glad we bought the staffs now. Enemies beware our mighty intellect or we'll bash your heads in with our staffs .... and no that is not a euphemism

[Laughing Hyena]

Could always find a way to make the staff useful for lust attacks instead. Thats what I am planning anyway.

[Goryokaku]

All my magic does lust damage even if I'm a Mage I'm technically a sex mage.^_^ a succubus that isn't a succubus.

[That_One_Guy]

Garian should be rewarded for taking initiative instead of waiting around. >_>
