[RPG] Tears of a Phoenix (Talk, Discussion & Strategy)

[unliketea]

rope has all kinds of uses ... like ... tying people up, or climbing down a cliff, hanging someone, dragging an unconscious teammate around, leashing a pet puppy, laying down a line which no one may pass upon threat of bitter reprisal from the group, stashing equipment high up in a tree so no one can steal it, hanging myself, hanging a teammate, just hanging out, create a foot snare, create a trip line, create a clothesline, drag it around at full length to arouse commoner interest, climbing down a well cause something shiny is down there.

... I'm sure I can come up with some other uses too.

[Ditto]

Dangit. Forget meditation, then.

How much if I boost the power of individual healing lights to 15 HP each?

How much if I boost the aura barrier absorbtion to 15 HP?

If I have enough AP, I'll boost the power of one/both if possible.

After that, I should be done...

[Cimeries]

The only skill you will ever need when you have rope is Lasso Mastery.

Anyhow, I intend to get myself a spear as a substitute to a 10-ft pole.

[Shade]

Fine, fine, good point. Feel free to take a rope of 10 meters length, tea.

@Ditto: 15 HP healing lights: 35 more AP (200 in total)
15 HP aura barrier: 30 more AP (180 in total)

Story:
A former practitioner of dark magic, Arianna once held great power. She was feared by many, who knew her for her ruthless pursuit of more and more power to have all for herself.

But one day, Arianna came across an abandoned ruin on her travels. Entering out of curiosity as to what lay inside, she quickly ran inside, soon coming across a mostly empty room. Besides the light spirit inside.

The light spirit could have killed Arianna, and made her pay for her dark mistakes. But instead, he showed her visions of the future that lay ahead if she continued to pursue the dark power- thousands of innocent people dead, and her own soul consumed by the dark arts, her body used to wreak havoc upon the world.

Arianna finally realized her mistakes. Frightened by the dark future that awaited herself and the world, Arianna thanked the spirit for the vision, and made a pact that if she ever again uttered a word of dark magic to hurt an innocent, she would be killed. Arianna burned the ancient tomes of magic that gave her her power that night, and pledged to study the healing arts to seek forgiveness for her mistakes.

A year has passed since...

You said that we start with 450 AP, right?

I think I is done for now, then.

[Shade]

You said that we start with 450 AP, right?

Yep.
However, don't you want to spend some of your remaining AP on additional HP? 10 HP isn't exactly much, after all.

[Ditto]

Meh. I did get aura barrier...

Even so, you have a point, I'll bump up my HP to 14. Not much, but still, it's something.

[penguinflyer2222]

She cannot use heavy two handed melee weapons (axes, mauls, greatswords, etc.), or heavy metal armor (plate, scale, etc.) at all.

[Seanbot]

Yeah I am not very good at upkeeping PnPs.
But when a cool character presents himself that is kind of kooky, why not.

Awesomesauce.

That'll give you 25 additional AP then.

@Seanbot: ...are you serious?
Also, unless I have miscounted, we already have four players (Cimeries, Ditto, tea, AoD).

[Seanbot]

I just came up with him and decided to screw with people.
