Virtual Warriorz: A Second World Game - OOC Discussion

[Angel Tarragon]

Is Healer in Miniatures Handbook or do I remember incorrectly? I'll take a look of it today. Sorry to keep you from starting.

Yep, the Healer is in the Miniatures Handbook. No worries on the wait. I'm still waiting on Shayuri to finalize character.

Hmm. The Healer looks actually good (There are few minor things I don't like about it too but nothing like the archivist, so I can live with those). I think I might go with that then. As for modern character I was thinking an almost opposite. A professional wrestler. Big ugly bruiser, who is so good in what he does that he has become a star. Unfortunatily he has become addicted on this VR-Game that it is now distracting him from the show itself.

 

[Shayuri]

Heya!

I am nearing completion!

The virtual monk is, in fact, all but done, even equipment.

I'm a little stymied on modern equipment. I suspect I'll probably just take various "student gear," of not much game use.

Ashley is, to begin with at least, sort of a punky/gothy rich spawn who's all disenchanted with materialism and stuff (having never tasted the alternative) and hero-izes self-reliance and those who's personal abilities doesn't come from computerization or automation. Of course, she's attending college pursuing a degree in either business or political science, and she's not sure which yet. She's old enough to be aware of the basic hypocrisy underlying all this, but not quite old enough (emotionally/intellectually) to know what to do about it, or to have the guts to do it.

Her pro tem solution is this game, which is ironic in that it's really the antithesis of everything she professes to stand for. Still, Lily, her online persona, is the embodiment of her values. Strong and smart and quick, prevailing by virtue of skill and puissance rather than a christmas tree of stuff. A further irony is that there is, in fact, -very- little difference between Ash and Lily...the difference is primarily in her head. Lily seems to her to have the kind of life she wants. Itinerant traveler who's belongings fit comfortably in her satchel, going from place to place testing herself and her skills in struggles to aid those in need.

More to come

Does all this take place on Earth?

What changes would you like to make to the Healer class to make it more appealing?

Sounds good. The group does need a good bruiser.

I don't have D20 Future, but I am allowing the equipment and cybernetics from the Modern SRD. You needn't bother with vehicle accomadations for the group, as we already have two vehicles for that. You can go ahead and purchase a motorcycle or other singular [seated] mode of transportation, if you want though it isn't necessary. Don't bother rolling for wealth, just take the averages. And don't forget to choose an occupation and that you gain Dilettante as a bonus occupation (the wealth bonuses from both stack).

Indeed it does, but in the future. Have you ever watched Batman Beyond? Thats basically the feel of the 'modern' world.

Not really anything. I'm not real happy about the armor restriction which makes almost no sense but I can work with it.

 

[Shayuri]

Done.

Except Ash will have an anti-shock implant too, that I forgot to put in.

With the PL reduction, it won't be a significant purchase, so no worries.

I'll clean up the skill section tomorrow, and add in the fluff of appearance and background.

My thanks for your patience.

Looking over the weapon and armor proficiency of the class, I don't like the taste of druid to it. I'll lift the metal ban and include medium armor prof as a class feat.

 

[Blackrat]

Nice. The metal restriction just doesn't make sense to me. So I'll prolly go with chainshirt.

 

[Blackrat]

Heh. I used Seventh Sanctum to create a name for my modern character and then fed it to this http://www.wrestlingname.com/ to get a wrestling name for him. So now I have Logan "Silver Spike" Reese.

Okay, since this is set in the future I was thinking if it was okay that the pro-wrestling scene has changed to even more violent-like. More like real gladiator-matches where even death is sometimes possible. Mostly the matches are set so that those who are popular among the audience are set against much weaker opponents so they almost always win .
