First Post
[Phoenix8008] So, you just need to pick a name. Unless you wanna have some more time to check the rules/powers and stuff.
[JadeKestrel] ::shrug:: If you're willing to put up with me, I'll try it now.
[JadeKestrel] How do I change my handle?
[Phoenix8008] "/nick XXXXXXX"
* JadeKestrel is now known as Seonaid
[Phoenix8008] And I would suggest buying leather armor with your initial 5 Yen so that you have 2 Hits.
[Phoenix8008] brb
[Seonaid] Ok.
[Seonaid] I'll do that.
[Seonaid] Seonaid is 6'3" tall, female, and an angel. Her wings are white and curve gracefully a good foot above her head (giving her a total height of about 7'). She wears Xena-like dark leather armor. She carries a broadsword and wields it easily with one hand.
[Seonaid] She wears nothing on her feet.
[Seonaid] Her eyes are pale green and her hair is blonde.
[Phoenix8008] Seonaid
[Phoenix8008] Hits- Natural: 1, Total: 2
[Phoenix8008] Hits Defeated:0
[Phoenix8008] Yen: 0
[Phoenix8008] Powers: none
[Phoenix8008] Possessions: Leather Armor
[Phoenix8008] Also remember to register your YBA character when we are done...
[Seonaid] Ok.
* Phoenix8008 is now known as YBA-DM
[YBA-DM] brb-gotta go pull up the monster file...
[YBA-DM] So, what reason does this angel have for being down to earth and adventuring?
[Seonaid] Boredom and desire to smite evil. ::smiles::
[YBA-DM] remember, even if your hits reach 0, you don't die unless what you were fighting did more than 1 Hit of damage in a single round sometime during the fight...
[Seonaid] Oh good.
[Seonaid] I was wondering about that.
[YBA-DM] So, we'll start with some small evil first...
[Seonaid] :-D
[YBA-DM] Seonaid is flying over a beautiful forest just basking in the sunlight from above, when suddenly a scream splits the air from somewhere below the canopy...what do you do?
[Seonaid] Can I see anything?
[YBA-DM] Not from up here. The forest hides whatever awaits below...
[Seonaid] I dive down until I can see what's happening.
[YBA-DM] Diving quickly through the branches, the angel see's a horrible sight. A wagon is stopped in the middle of the road, it's mule dead, and it's driver just being finished off by an Orc Grunt!
[YBA-DM] The Orc Grunt turns and runs to attack Seonaid in it's bloodlust!

[YBA-DM] You go first since it has tricks...
[Seonaid] [How do I generate here? I forgot.]
[YBA-DM] So you gen a move just like in YB..."!mb ybmove"
[Seonaid] !mb ybmove
[MechaMeowth] Seonaid: The west wind sings below the heavens; protects against the aggression of the river!
[YBA-DM] Orc Grunt:
[YBA-DM] !mb ybmove
[MechaMeowth] YBA-DM: The unicorn assails the cemetery; shields the kick of the tree!
[YBA-DM] The Orc Grunt stabs at you and draws first blood!
[YBA-DM] (Usually, the fighter would now post their current hits so we can keep track.)
[YBA-DM] Orc-2
[Seonaid] 1
[YBA-DM] Then you attack again...
[Seonaid] !mb ybmove
[MechaMeowth] Seonaid: The sword dodges atop the desert and parts the ice; avoids the terror of the holy ground!
[YBA-DM] !mb ybmove
[MechaMeowth] YBA-DM: The fox stands from the well; guards against the onslaught of the mountain!
[YBA-DM] With your double defense, you easily avoid the orc's attack and stab him with your sword!
[YBA-DM] Orc-1 Hit
[Seonaid] 1 hit
[Seonaid] !mb ybmove
[MechaMeowth] Seonaid: The scythe strikes near the ruins; shields the touch of the rodent while it blocks the foray of the wind!
[YBA-DM] The Orc kicks some dirt into your face and moves away before you can complete your attack! (Dirty Trick!)
[YBA-DM] Now him first
[YBA-DM] Orc Grunt:
[YBA-DM] !mb ybmove
[MechaMeowth] YBA-DM: The lightning kicks on top of the wastelands; silences the onslaught of the cave!
[YBA-DM] done
[Seonaid] !mb ybmove
[MechaMeowth] Seonaid: The west wind punches near the ruins; shields the violence of the club!
[YBA-DM] Hmmm...
* MechaMeowth has quit IRC (User has been mind-ripped)
[Seonaid] Erm . . .
[YBA-DM] No matter, Seonaid wins the round and the fight!
[YBA-DM] THe Orc Grunt falls bloody to the ground and Seonaid gains 2 Hits Defeated as well as the Orc's Sword!
[YBA-DM] You would add the Sword to your Possessions and mark that it gives you (+1 to Sword style)
[Seonaid] Ok.
[Seonaid] What does sword style mean?
[YBA-DM] In the future then, any Sword move you draw from the generator would do 2 points of damage if successful.
[Seonaid] sweet
[YBA-DM] so now you would look like this...
[YBA-DM] Seonaid

[Seonaid] ok
[YBA-DM] If you want to copy that and post it to the YBA Registration page, you can.
[Seonaid] I did. :-D
[YBA-DM] cool
[Seonaid] Thanks.
[YBA-DM] You wanna go again and try to level up once?
[Seonaid] Yeah, sure.
[YBA-DM] From the woods nearby, Seonaid hears another scream, a female this time. Running from that direction is another Orc yelling, "Hey Scar, what you doing making fight noises over here!? Uhhh, who you?"
[Seonaid] I run over, sword drawn.
[Seonaid] OOps.
[Seonaid] Read that wrong.
[YBA-DM] np
[Seonaid] I look at the orc and say, "I am your death."
[YBA-DM] It yells, "Martuke!, Get over here!!!", before attacking you...

[Seonaid] !mb ybmove
[Seonaid] doh
[Seonaid] hang on, want me to use the generator
[YBA-DM] oh damn!
[YBA-DM] yes, from the net.
[Seonaid] The fist tracks below the village; shreds the tempest of the ice!
[YBA-DM] Orc Grunt: The unicorn flips below the peaks; removes the offensive of the spring!
[YBA-DM] The Orc thinks it has you right where it wants you, and then you punch it for 1 point!
[YBA-DM] Orc Grunt- 1
[YBA-DM] You again...
[Seonaid] Do I still have 1?
[YBA-DM] No, new fight. You start over.
[Seonaid] ok
[Seonaid] The fist dodges close to the forest; absorbs the beauty of the bone!
[YBA-DM] Orc Grunt: The dagger swims next to the hells; blocks the stab of the storm!
[YBA-DM] Jeez, both kinda lousy...
[Seonaid] Heh.
[YBA-DM] Without even bloodying your sword, you drop the newest foe as well...and gain another 2 Hits Defeated (HD) and another Orc sword.
[Seonaid] Does that give me +2?
[YBA-DM] (BTW, the 2nd Orc Sword bonus doesn't stack with the first. It's basically useless other than selling it for Yen. And for that you get half the price that you would buy it for, which means 1 Yen)
[Seonaid] How do I sell it?
[YBA-DM] Between game sessions or during (as long as you are "back in town", you
can buy and sell items. Usually between games though.)
[YBA-DM] Can't right now though.
[YBA-DM] Since yet another monster comes running out at you from the woods screaming it's rage!

[YBA-DM] Since you are lower on Hits, you post first.
[Seonaid] Yeah, I almost forgot the bot isn't here any more.
[Seonaid] The manticore wounds the volcano; guards against the motion of the ice!
[YBA-DM] Remeber, if this guy hits you with his FoF, you can die...
[Seonaid] Yeah.
[Seonaid] :-D
[YBA-DM] Half-Orc: The ki-rin sweeps close to the tower; guards against the cut of the star!
[YBA-DM] You stab at and wound the Half-Orc!
[YBA-DM] Half Orc-1 Hit
[Seonaid] 1 hit, right?
[YBA-DM] for him. You still have your 2
[Seonaid] Oh.
[Seonaid] :-D
[Seonaid] The nunchaku burns the atoll; shields the kick of the bird!
[YBA-DM] Half-Orc: The spear sings higher than the glacier; avoids the blood of the blade!
[YBA-DM] FoF!
[YBA-DM] The silver unicorn sings below the clouds; shreds the quickening of the horn!
[Seonaid] Lotta singing going on.
[YBA-DM] (He's still screaming...)
[Seonaid]
[YBA-DM] Suddenly though, his scream turns into a death rattle as he keels over and dies...
[YBA-DM] You get 2 HD and a Club (+1 Oak)
[YBA-DM] So, you now have 2 Natural Hits.
[YBA-DM] And you can have one of the following:
[YBA-DM] 6 Exp to spend for powers (Epic powers possible), or
[YBA-DM] 5 Exp to spend on powers (no epic powers) and 1 Hit Defeated carried over to your next level towards your new goal of 10 HD.
[Seonaid] Does the club stack with the sword, and if so, how many weapons can I have to stack?
[YBA-DM] The club is seperate from the Sword but you get that bonus to Oak styles as well.
[Seonaid] Ok.
[Seonaid] That's what I meant. :-\
[Seonaid] If I were to take Fated, what would happen to the extra .5 exp?

[YBA-DM] checking
[YBA-DM] I'm not sure, but I see no way of saving the extra .5 Exp
[YBA-DM] I don't know why they didn't just make it 6 Exp cost...
[Seonaid]
[Seonaid] ok
[Seonaid] can I take more than one power?
[YBA-DM] If you can afford the cost and meet the prerequisites, yes.
[Seonaid] ok
[Seonaid] i want student of signature style, student of signature location, and signature modifier
[YBA-DM] POssible styles/Locations: Nunchaku/Atoll, Fist/Forest, West Wind/Ruins.
[Seonaid] fist/forest
[YBA-DM] You can mix and match
[YBA-DM] Fist/Ruins for example
[Seonaid] oh
[Seonaid] i'll keep forest
[YBA-DM] You know the possible Modifiers?
[Seonaid] does it have to be one I used?
[YBA-DM] no
[YBA-DM] any from the list of modifiers.
[Seonaid] oh
[Seonaid] ok, i'll have to see then
[Seonaid] i don't know the list off the top of my head
[YBA-DM] Let me see if I can post it without getting disconnected for flooding...
[YBA-DM] The modifier lists are as follows:
[YBA-DM] Master of Emotions: avenging, ferocious, cautious, relentless, calm, confidant, joyful, courageous, wrathful, sad.
[YBA-DM] Master of Movement: Moving: crouching, falling, flying, falling, rolling, running, tumbling, leaping, twisting, balancing, speeding
[YBA-DM] Master of Shadows: Tricky, invisible, stealthy, sneaky, sly, evasive, secret, unseen, hidden, shadowy
[YBA-DM] Wealth: diamond, jade, onyx, pearl, opal, gold, silver, topaz, emerald, ruby
[YBA-DM] Supreme: irresistible, invincible, mighty, perfect, faultless, flawless, pure, superior, transcendent, supreme
[YBA-DM] It's near the end of the YB rules page before the rules for items in case you want to find it later...
[Seonaid] ok, thanks
[Seonaid] um...
[Seonaid] are modifiers used in attack or defense, or both?
[YBA-DM] remember that you can't become a student of another student or location until you Master the ones you have just started.
[Seonaid] yeah
[YBA-DM] They usually come up in the attack
[Seonaid] ok
[YBA-DM] About once every 50 moves on average I think
[Seonaid] i'll take confidant
[YBA-DM] Or once every 20 moves, but with 50 possible modifiers...well good luck.
[Seonaid] hehee thanks
[Seonaid] that was fun
[Seonaid] can i sell that other orc sword?
[YBA-DM] sure
[YBA-DM] 1 Yen for you
[Seonaid] cool, thanks
[YBA-DM] So here you are...
[YBA-DM] Seonaid

[YBA-DM] -Signature Modifier: Confident (+1 to Confident moves)
[YBA-DM] Possessions: Leather Armor, Orc Sword (+1 to Sword Style), Club (+1 Oak)
[Seonaid] Wait . . . why do I have HD 1?
[YBA-DM] You only spent 5 Exp so I thought you wanted the extra HD carried over towards your next level.
[Seonaid] oh! i had 6.
[Seonaid] doh
[YBA-DM] 2 Exp for each student, and 1 for the modifier.
[Seonaid] ok
[Seonaid] can i take another modifier?
[YBA-DM] So if you were to somehow get an attack like "The confident fist smashes the forest and defends against the fire of the sky!", then you would do 4 points of damage to your foe if you won the round...
[YBA-DM] Yes you could..
[Seonaid] hehe...
[Seonaid] ok, it's kind of silly, but i'm going to
[Seonaid] courageous
[Seonaid] wait
[Seonaid] can i save up hd to get expensive powers?
[YBA-DM] You mean Epic powers?
[YBA-DM] Or just regular powers?
[Seonaid] no, just stuff that costs a lot, like 4
[YBA-DM] You can't save up HD, because that's how many Hits Defeated you've killed this level. You could level up, convert you Stuff to Exp and not spend them and
save them till another level though.
[YBA-DM] So you can save EXP, but not HD.
[Seonaid] ohhh
[Seonaid] ok
[Seonaid] so i'd have to say right now if i wanted to save it as exp
[YBA-DM] riiiiight
[Seonaid] how much exp do people usually get per encounter?
[YBA-DM] And not spend it to gain all the powers you have.
[Seonaid] yeah, i'm reconsidering
[YBA-DM] Whatever the CR of the creature is, that's how many HD you get if you beat it. When your HD equal 5 times your natural hits, then you level up
[Seonaid] oh, ok
[YBA-DM] For you, since you got 6 HD and you leveled up at 5 HD, you had 1 HD left over.
[Seonaid] i'm going to ditch the mods
[Seonaid] oh, ok
[YBA-DM] So keeping the student of style and locs but saving 2 EXP for another level...
[Seonaid] yes...
[YBA-DM] Read the YBA rules page under the section "An Alternate Experience System"
[YBA-DM] for details on how this experience system works

[YBA-DM] 5 Exp to spend on powers (no epic powers) and 1 Hit Defeated carried over to your next level towards your new goal of 10 HD.
[Seonaid] Does the club stack with the sword, and if so, how many weapons can I have to stack?
[YBA-DM] The club is seperate from the Sword but you get that bonus to Oak styles as well.
[Seonaid] Ok.
[Seonaid] That's what I meant. :-\
[Seonaid] If I were to take Fated, what would happen to the extra .5 exp?
[YBA-DM] Seonaid
[YBA-DM] Hits- Natural: 2, Total: 3
[YBA-DM] Hits Defeated: 0 or 1
[YBA-DM] Next Level: 10 HD
[YBA-DM] Yen: 0

[YBA-DM] Possessions: Leather Armor, Orc Sword (+1 to Sword Style), Club (+1 Oak)
[YBA-DM] checking
[YBA-DM] I'm not sure, but I see no way of saving the extra .5 Exp
[YBA-DM] I don't know why they didn't just make it 6 Exp cost...
[Seonaid]
[Seonaid] ok
[Seonaid] can I take more than one power?
[YBA-DM] If you can afford the cost and meet the prerequisites, yes.
[Seonaid] ok
[Seonaid] i want student of signature style, student of signature location, and signature modifier
[YBA-DM] POssible styles/Locations: Nunchaku/Atoll, Fist/Forest, West Wind/Ruins.
[Seonaid] fist/forest
[YBA-DM] You can mix and match
[YBA-DM] Fist/Ruins for example
[Seonaid] oh
[Seonaid] i'll keep forest
[YBA-DM] You know the possible Modifiers?
[Seonaid] does it have to be one I used?
[YBA-DM] no
[YBA-DM] any from the list of modifiers.
[Seonaid] oh
[Seonaid] ok, i'll have to see then
[Seonaid] i don't know the list off the top of my head
[YBA-DM] Let me see if I can post it without getting disconnected for flooding...
[YBA-DM] The modifier lists are as follows:
[YBA-DM] Master of Emotions: avenging, ferocious, cautious, relentless, calm, confidant, joyful, courageous, wrathful, sad.
[YBA-DM] Master of Movement: Moving: crouching, falling, flying, falling, rolling, running, tumbling, leaping, twisting, balancing, speeding

[YBA-DM] It's near the end of the YB rules page before the rules for items in case you want to find it later...
[Seonaid] ok, thanks
[Seonaid] um...
[Seonaid] are modifiers used in attack or defense, or both?
[YBA-DM] remember that you can't become a student of another student or location until you Master the ones you have just started.
[Seonaid] yeah
[YBA-DM] They usually come up in the attack
[Seonaid] ok
[YBA-DM] About once every 50 moves on average I think
[Seonaid] i'll take confidant
[YBA-DM] Or once every 20 moves, but with 50 possible modifiers...well good luck.
[Seonaid] hehee thanks
[Seonaid] that was fun
[Seonaid] can i sell that other orc sword?
[YBA-DM] sure
[YBA-DM] 1 Yen for you
[Seonaid] cool, thanks
[YBA-DM] So here you are...
[YBA-DM] Seonaid
[YBA-DM] Hits- Natural: 2, Total: 3
[YBA-DM] Hits Defeated: 1
[YBA-DM] Next Level: 10 HD
[YBA-DM] Yen: 1
[YBA-DM] Powers:
[YBA-DM] -Signature Style: Fist (+1 to Fist moves),
[YBA-DM] -Signature Location: Forest (+1 to Forest moves),
[YBA-DM] -Signature Modifier: Confident (+1 to Confident moves)
[YBA-DM] Possessions: Leather Armor, Orc Sword (+1 to Sword Style), Club (+1 Oak)
[Seonaid] Wait . . . why do I have HD 1?
[YBA-DM] You only spent 5 Exp so I thought you wanted the extra HD carried over towards your next level.
[Seonaid] oh! i had 6.
[Seonaid] doh
[YBA-DM] 2 Exp for each student, and 1 for the modifier.
[Seonaid] ok
[Seonaid] can i take another modifier?
[YBA-DM] So if you were to somehow get an attack like "The confident fist smashes the forest and defends against the fire of the sky!", then you would do 4 points of damage to your foe if you won the round...
[YBA-DM] Yes you could..
[Seonaid] hehe...
[Seonaid] ok, it's kind of silly, but i'm going to
[Seonaid] courageous
[Seonaid] wait
[Seonaid] can i save up hd to get expensive powers?
[YBA-DM] You mean Epic powers?
[YBA-DM] Or just regular powers?
[Seonaid] no, just stuff that costs a lot, like 4
[YBA-DM] You can't save up HD, because that's how many Hits Defeated you've killed this level. You could level up, convert you Stuff to Exp and not spend them and
save them till another level though.
[YBA-DM] So you can save EXP, but not HD.
[Seonaid] ohhh
[Seonaid] ok
[Seonaid] so i'd have to say right now if i wanted to save it as exp
[YBA-DM] riiiiight
[Seonaid] how much exp do people usually get per encounter?
[YBA-DM] And not spend it to gain all the powers you have.
[Seonaid] yeah, i'm reconsidering
[YBA-DM] Whatever the CR of the creature is, that's how many HD you get if you beat it. When your HD equal 5 times your natural hits, then you level up
[Seonaid] oh, ok
[YBA-DM] For you, since you got 6 HD and you leveled up at 5 HD, you had 1 HD left over.
[Seonaid] i'm going to ditch the mods
[Seonaid] oh, ok
[YBA-DM] So keeping the student of style and locs but saving 2 EXP for another level...
[Seonaid] yes...
[YBA-DM] Read the YBA rules page under the section "An Alternate Experience System"
[YBA-DM] for details on how this experience system works
[Seonaid] ok
[YBA-DM] brb-afk
[Seonaid] ok
Seonaid
