[QUOTE="calronmoonflower, post: 6704855, member: 6750045"] I've been thinking on the four techniques and came up with a visual aid for each. I also came up with a fifth technique that can be used. Generally it might overlap with the other four, but has instances where it stands on its own. [sblock=pic][URL="http://s670.photobucket.com/user/calronmoonflower/media/The%20Long-Term%20Goal_zpsjbrqomus.jpg.html"][IMG]http://i670.photobucket.com/albums/vv69/calronmoonflower/The%20Long-Term%20Goal_zpsjbrqomus.jpg[/IMG][/URL][/sblock] [sblock=pic][URL="http://s670.photobucket.com/user/calronmoonflower/media/The%20Sudden%20Mutation_zpsrfef4dj1.jpg.html"][IMG]http://i670.photobucket.com/albums/vv69/calronmoonflower/The%20Sudden%20Mutation_zpsrfef4dj1.jpg[/IMG][/URL][/sblock] [sblock=pic][URL="http://s670.photobucket.com/user/calronmoonflower/media/The%20Fortuitous%20Coincidence_zpsfa6cacyq.jpg.html"][IMG]http://i670.photobucket.com/albums/vv69/calronmoonflower/The%20Fortuitous%20Coincidence_zpsfa6cacyq.jpg[/IMG][/URL][/sblock] [sblock=pic][URL="http://s670.photobucket.com/user/calronmoonflower/media/New%20Ability%202_zpsf3dglkjn.jpg.html"][IMG]http://i670.photobucket.com/albums/vv69/calronmoonflower/New%20Ability%202_zpsf3dglkjn.jpg[/IMG][/URL][/sblock] [sblock=Technique 5: Legacy/Heritage] [URL="http://s670.photobucket.com/user/calronmoonflower/media/Legacy%20Heritage_zps0i1mgby6.jpg.html"][IMG]http://i670.photobucket.com/albums/vv69/calronmoonflower/Legacy%20Heritage_zps0i1mgby6.jpg[/IMG][/URL] A scream pierced the night. Sojourn awoke with a jerk. The pitch of night gave way before his eyes. Another scream came forth. Quickly he sprang to his feet and called up the power within. Sojourn launched into the dark night at a speed that would put most horses to shame. In the distance he could see the light of a camp fire and hear the sounds of battle. He pushed further increasing his speed yet again. As he approach the battle be could see a enormous wolf attacking merchant caravan. The streaked across the battle fiend and took position in front of the dire wolf. The fierce beast turned and snapped barley missing Sojourn's arm. In that second he positioned himself, lightning already crackling at his finger tips. With a blow that could crush stone Sojourn's fist sank into the beast's ribcage, as the smell of burning fur filled the air. Turning to a a fallen guard, Sojourn placed his and on a viscous wound and it began to close. The guard looked into the eyes of the the stranger that saved his life. They glowed like liquid gold in the light of the campfire. "What are you? How can you do such things?" the guard stammered. Sojourn smiled, with fang-like teeth gleaming in the darkness. "I have a bit of dragon blood in me." Player characters should have a background of some sort. This background could be the source of some rather strange abilities. It could be the secret technique that was passed down in the family, happenstance of their birth, or the result of something that happened in their past. These abilities need not manifest right away, but could leave the path open to develop abilities beyond the norm. [/sblock] [/QUOTE]
