You where going to shoot me in the head with a .50 calibur sniper rifle!

well....

*shrug*

ok.

Just for that piece of goodness I'll just knock you out cold instead...

LOL anyway to stop the hijacking, Catulle how are you going to do the experience points? Are you going to handle it the same way as Ash did?

Given that I'm not entirely sure what Ash's plan was, I was going to occasionally hand out XP in small quantities and have you lot let me know when/if you want to spend it. Given my unfamiliarity with PbP, I reckon I'll probably err on the side of caution, at least to begin with. By all means, tell me if progress is too fast or slow; it's all a learning experience, after all.

works for me!

I'm still trying to work out the kinks in Caitlyn myself. She's kind stiff right now, but then she is in an uncomfortable place, so I suppose she would be more formal than her usual casual demeanor. I think once you get her out of the formal atmosphere (like when she's going to visiting the Montegues for the lessons) she'll be more like herself in a bit more casual, smaller environment...that is less "being surrounded by a couple dozen or so bloodthirsty vampires" and more like just being surrounded by three of 'em. hehe

Hey folks,

I've put up an example of combat on the IC thread (thought I should at the earliest opportunity) - if there are any questions about it or other combat-related machanics, please ask on this thread. It's worth noting that the Initiative phase is when actions get declared, blood points spent, etc. in reverse order of initiative (that may not have been clear from the e.g.).

Cheers,

Barry

VERY cool, Catulle.
And fun - sets up the character interaction very well, too.

Bravo!

I slipped in Sabrina crying tears of blood. I can't exactly remember whether its WOD vampires that cry blood, Hamilton's vampires, Rice's Vampires, or some combination of the above. Can someone refresh my memory?

 

[Catulle]

It's pretty common throughout the genre. Works for me.

Looks good to me, Catulle...only I hope Cate won't get involved in any combat any time soon...lol

Isn't crying tears of blood going to freak/fascinate Sabrina? hehe if she cries in front of Cate, that will definitely freak the human out. *omigod, sabrina, we have to get you to a doctor right away in broad daylight! and BTW why are all the drapes closed? Let's let in some sunlight, shall we? I can't see the music sheets*

yeah first voice lesson will be memorable I'm sure....

Also FYI, I thought I'd post a quick guide to the characters' appearance scores to help with visualisation purposes. I'll update this post as things progress if it's useful to you (it can also serve as something of an (N)PC glossary):-

Caitlyn Tran = 5
Calebros = 0
Carrick Ashton = 4
Carter Vanderweyden = 4
Elizabeth Shaw = 5
Ephraim Wainwright = 1
Eugenio Estevez = 3
Gabriel Cross = 2
Hellene Panhard = 2
Jemal Montague = 4
Marlena = 2
Maxwell Freigart = 2
Mazz (Stephen) = 3
Morgan Thepclay = 4
Nathaniel Montague = 2
Nikolai D'Angelo = 2 (effectively 4 w.r.t. animal magneism)
Qadir al-Asmai = 3
Sabrina Montague = 3
Smartly dressed man with the harpies = 3
