[OOC] Bifyrd-Feron Adventure [Iron Gauntlets] 3 of 4

[Maerdwyn]

doghead, What type of religion are you thinking of for the world? Something with a vaguely historical feel or something different? Mono- or polytheism? No rush, just wondering.

 

[doghead]

I'm thinking mono-theism. I find the poly-theism a bit garring. Its the lack of cultural connection I think. People tend to choose the god which suits them best, with little sense of cultural factors. The only god that seem to be connected culturally are the demi-human ones.

I'll probably use either Saints or Angels as well. Those of a martial bent will pray to different saints/angel than those dedicated to healing, or hoping for a good crop. Plus, a christanity analogue fits better with the whole Knight thing.

So when are you going to run a Song of Ice and Fire game?

thotd

 

[DrZombie]

A song of fire and ice game? I'll run a pbp game as soon as you've read the books It's a highly political game, so I'd have to have dedicated players, and I don't think there will be a lot of combat. I don't really see it happenin' on the boards.



A single point of reasoning? What's that, a total moron?

Any good flaws you'd think I might be interested in?

 

[Maerdwyn]

Here are the flaws from the book (left out ones requiring a background other than faithful). Don't know if doghead is allowing all of these or not.

Childe of Hell (part orc or other inhuman/demon/etc.) - can't raise Reason above 3 or Influence above 4, +2 bonus to Intimidate

Clumsy: -1D to rolls involving coordination

Curse Relic: you have a curse magic item

Dark Aura: Unsettling vibes, -1D to Influence checks except Intimidation, animals don't like you

Frail: -1D to rolls dependant on strength

Hesitant: -1D to reaction rolls

Hideous Appearance: Ugly, disfigured, etc. -1D to influence rolls when appearance plays a part. Maybe some sort of "foreign-born" variant based on prejudice against your appearance?

Infamous: Known as a barbarian or criminal -2D on influence, or +2 on intimidation

Irrational Fear: roll reason check or panic in the presence of something. This is what I chose for Forisa for now, but I'm not quite satisfied with it.

On the Run: Character is a figitive

Oversized: Bigger, so easier to hit by 1D

Poor Reputation: -2 to Influece based rolls

Slow Stepped: -1D to movement related rolls

Vulnerability: suffer 2 grade of fatigue, or double damage, when exposed to or hit by something.

 

[doghead]

All of those are fine. If there is something else you have ini mind, let me know and I'll think about it..

thotd

 

[DrZombie]

Woohoo. Infamous? Is that a flaw

I'll take that with a side order of +1 reasoning. Do I get fries with that?

 

[doghead]

DrZ, you can take it, so long as you can give me a explaination of how it ties in with a Holy Knight.

thotd

 

[DrZombie]

two words :Vlad Tcepesc aka Vlad he Impaler


No, I was thinking more somehing in the line of racial prejudice, something like : Watch that guy, he's a Serb. He'll go Bronze Age on your arse if you don't

 

[doghead]

OK. That will work. Of course, once the character returns to his own region, he loses the extra point of Reason.

thotd

 

[doghead]

All right, once we get the character's sorted, we can get them into play in the IC thread. The search party will all be gathered outside the main building in the yard.

I suppose I should get a RG thread up. [Its here.] And update the first page. [done].

Halfrogman, you still with us? You don't need to wait up for the others; I'll use the ic thread to determin what sort of lead you get on the search party. Currently they are still getting sorted at the manor.
