[Character Creation] [VtR] nWoD Vampire Game

[OnlytheStrong]

That's a great one for me. If you wanted to, you could make it whatever you want without telling me. Those were just some ideas that popped into my head.

We'll use a set format for rolling on Invisible Castle.

Please put [VtR]CharacterName as your characters name (so I can to a search and pull all the rolls in for your characters at once).

I'll to the same thing for NPCs.

So Diego would be
[VtR]Diego
If you're rolling then please make sure to be specific about what it is (in the notes) so Total dice pool, what skills etc.

I don't know how the others feel, but for me and the interest of speeding things along, I'm perfectly comfortable with letting you handle all of Beth's rolls for me. That way you don't have to tell me what to roll and then wait for me to do it; you can just do it all in the same post and carry on with the story.

As far as I'm concerned-if you chose to do it that way-you don't need to prove your rolls on Invisible Castle either. I've always thought it a colossal waste of time getting everything logged, rolled, and formatted when it's so much easier just to drop a handful of dice and move on.

But hey, maybe that's just me.

 

[OnlytheStrong]

I'm fine either way. If if would be easier for you to roll, that's fine.

Don't tell DarwinofMind though, I drive him crazy at our table games, cuz I am always rolling my dice.

Yea I have no idea what the specialities are so we can wait on those if you want.

I am cool with letting you make the rolls as well.

Bloodweaver, I'd be willing to help you with specialties. Do you know what areas you want to specialize in? (in general of course) If so (and if you don't mind me offering advice) I will be more than happy to go through the book and give examples of specialties. Maybe you will like them, or maybe they will give you an idea. Up to you of course.

 

[Bloodweaver1]

Onlythestrong - Sure I would greatly appreciate help. Like I said I have no idea how the 'specialties system works. Are there requirements to get one, are there limites to how many one can have..? ANd please by all means suggest away.

Good to know how people feel about the rolls. I admit that in tabletop I find the fedishization of rolling a bit irritating. Usually I just have a printed out piece of paper with random numbers and cross things off.

But we have a bit more time online, and I only actually have one ten sided die in real life.

I'll just do the rolling and link for now then. And we can come back to it later once the game gets started properly.

(Only, thanks for helping Blood with the specialties!)

 

[OnlytheStrong]

You start with 3 specialties. The only "requirement" starting out is that you have a dot in the skill. You can have all 3 specialties in one skill or spread them out. It's totally up to you. A specialty is basically something that your character has alittle extra experience at. With your characters set up, I would suggest (but by no means do you have to) place at least a couple of ur specialties in social skills.

For example: For the Persuasion skill you can use Fast-Talking, Inspiring Troops, Motivational Speeches, Oratory, Sales Pitches, Seduction, or anything else you can come up with.


If you let me know what skills you think you would like specialties in, I can give you the examples from the book. The examples for the persuasion skill that I listed were listed in the book. I hope I helped out at least alittle.

And Blood's Prelude has begun.

I'd forgotten about the profanity filter. This is going to make playing the game "Mighty ____ing interesting" as the Prince would say.
