What perks does leveling up give?

Ack, gotta head to work in about ten minutes. Post was taking longer than I thought to make last night (mainly due to distractions) and I had to be up earlier than usual so I went to bed early, but it's pretty much 90% complete. Will post some time tonight when I get off work (ideally 11 at the latest, but I'm going to say 12 to cover my own ass).

I chose the outfit because it was supposed to be a historical, or old style, version of the suit and to give her some more personality with her outfit.

Which I think is great, but at the same time it doesn't really fit into the genre (mostly robots/armored humans and mechs with plugsuit special ability avatars mixed in). Nobudi got justification for their avatar because while the picture doesn't represent it, ICly it was agreed upon that it was more like Asuka's plugsuit on the "skin showing" parts. Originally the concept was going to be straight up like Accel World in that plugsuit-like avatars wouldn't be allowed, but I already loosened that restriction once in order to try to appeal to a wider avatar selection/make it easier to customize. I'm not really willing to push that boundary again.

I guess we can maybe find a way to work with it in that sense, but at the same time you've got armor stats like an armored/mech character while running around in cloth/potentially a plugsuit underneath it. I feel like if I allow said avatar, I'm opening up the "floodgates" for all sorts of things in the future.

I think we should track our own XP, it gives you less things to have to take care of.

Also, as a rule of thumb you don't auto-level at 500 XP (you get to decide when and where to level up).

Yeah, that was ridiculously high before. I made changes to the character to reflect this, including reducing the armor down to only 2, but giving her a speed of 9 to help compensate for this change.

Looks good, also, was the name/avatar name the same, or was that a typo with the no name in the name slot?

What perks does leveling up give?

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Leveling up for the first time gives you:

2 guaranteed mod upgrades
2 50/50 chances between a new mod/item or an upgrade to one of your existing mods/items
1 new "out-of-game" skill
1 50/50 chance between a new "out-of-game" skill or an improvement of your old one
10 stat points to spend as you see fit (which can unlock additional features)
-500 XP (for first level)


Obviously leveling up is beneficial, and it lets you take on tougher opponents for more XP, but bad things happen if your XP drops to zero/below zero.

Okay bored enough to ask if there is any room here for me. I was considering joining before but I couldn't think of any gear stuff that would work with my play style.

Quick question, with the med kit, it is a touch application heal right?

There seems to have been a small misconception, and I'd like to apologize for it.

The RP -will- continue, I just like to make "alternating posts" between this and Degradation in order to remain "unbiased." (who am I kidding, I really like this RP more, even if I like Degradation a lot too lol)

NEET Fighter Alpha WILL continue, I just gotta finish up my Degradation post before I can justify making a new post for y'all. I have a presentation on Wednesday regarding freedom of association that I need to do, but I should be able to finish that in an evening/be available to write a post for here some time Monday/Tuesday.

Not at the moment.

Consider it a "ranged touch attack."

You don't have to physically touch them, but you have to maintain a "direct line of sight" with them and be relatively close (relatively being a number between 10-30 meters depending on convenience, terrain, etc.)

Going over to study German at a friend's house. If I don't get a post up tonight, I'll try to get it up Wednesday night (if it's not up by Wednesday, it'll be up Friday since I have Friday off).

[Grape_Drink]

Writer's Block, apologies. Getting shit faced tonight to celebrate some of my friends graduating, but will be business as usual again tomorrow probably (Sunday at the worst, but to date I've never had a hangover).

[Nobudi]

Damit Grape. You jinxed it.

[Grape_Drink]

Probably.

Friend is high as fuck and I'm a little tipsy. Had to convince myself to hide my car keys lol

Alright, well I was supposed to have some free time over the summer, but this is quickly turning out to not be the case. I'll try to get some posts out this month, but if anyone would like to take over as the GM, give me a heads up and we can work out a transition into it. Best case scenario I might be able to make a post once a week with an alt GM making inbetween posts, worst case I fall off the face of the earth and they take over completely, but I want this RP to still continue onwards for folks who want to in that worst case scenario.


EDIT: Note, I don't plan to disappear off the face of the earth completely, I'm just not sure if I'll always have time to post in the future.
