Dark Sage Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 The computer at my Dad's is in repair right now, and I'm going today, so I won't be around tonight. Just saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy_One Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 It seems Robin is a bit under-experienced. The join average is currently 268 points. Robin has leveled up twice and purchased a crossbow. This means she has spent a total of 200 points. She also has 61 points unused at the moment bringing her total to 261 points. This is not to mention the combat she has partaken in against the Artifical Humans and the fight just now. I don't mind having less points than the rest of the party so much as I would like to know where the excess points are going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be 20, for one kill and objectives, IIRC. As for why you're so under the average, that would be because your point gain has consistently been under average in the battles you have participated in.

Snowy_One Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Snike. Robin got two kills. She took out clerics A and B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Sometimes the points a PC earns is greater than the overall average, sometimes it's less. When it's consistently less you'll start to see a gap building between the overall average (currently: 268) and the PC's total amount of earned points (varies by individual). It happens and it's not a big issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy_One Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Right. My question is that Robin's points are less than what a new character would get for joining up now despite having been in two battles and having gotten points from both of them. Right now it would be beneficial for me to quite the RP and rejoin right away with the same character as it would yield a point increase (granted, by only 7 points, but still). I guess I'm just confused as I assumed that all people received the point average after the battle and then additional points after that for the kills earned by their squad (at which point Robin should be above the average, even if only by a small amount).

-Cynthia- Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Some characters end up below the average amount of points, some end up above the average amount. That's why it's called an average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snike Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Snike. Robin got two kills. She took out clerics A and B. Yes, and you ignore one of those kills because she died in PP. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) We wouldn't accept any duplicate character sign ups anyway EDIT: UPDATE: Bow ability rules updated. Check Sign ups for details. Gist: They take counters from bows, ranged, and siege weapons when it's possible. Edited June 24, 2011 by Phoenix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roymbrog Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Hi. I... uh... spent the last three days watching FMA:B. Sorry about that, but since I finished it I'll be back to posting now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy_One Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Aren't you guys being a bit tough on bows? They get a -1 penalty to DEF and RES and only get their first attack against a group uncounterable but only if they target a melee fighter basically?

roymbrog Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 I think I'm gonna have to agree with Snowy here. I had thought they were better before that last battle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Cynthia- Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Most enemies tend to wield 1 range weapons anyway, so it's not much of a change. Getting uncountered while attacking other bow users and ranged weapon users wasn't making much sense IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy_One Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Actually it does make sense. You don't instantly know where you're being shot from and it's pretty hard to pick out one person, especially if there's a bunch of people running around. I'm curious now. If this isn't much of a change (in your eyes), then why even make it in the first place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Cynthia- Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 The reason bows get uncountered for a little bit is due to the range difference, but this doesn't make sense against an enemy who is also using a bow (or another type of ranged weapon). Same thing goes for things like attacking at siege range, before a bow using wouldn't get countered, but someone using a siege tome would which didn't make a whole lot of sense. Bows are no longer a weird exception to the "if an enemy is attacking range as you, you're going to get countered" rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roymbrog Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Eh, I had more of a problem with the constant -1 Def/Res thing. Before I had though it was only on turns it was ranged, but if it's all the time I really don't see the point in using bows... Normal ranged weapons give you more counterless turns with less drawbacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Those may or may not be nerfed at some point too. We'll have to see where this argument goes I guess. Well this argument aside, I'm currently in the process of updating the map. It'll be up sometime this evening. It's taking me awhile because I have to redo most of the names since the text got messed up in the transfer from my old computer ... no idea how that happened. Anyway, it'll be awhile so I won't be on IRC til after I finish that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rothene Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Plot wise, Ranyin would refuse to follow the group to Kigen and maybe left them and head off to...anywhere... Merc, would Bert be interested in dragging Ranyin off to a bandit hunt while he's at it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roymbrog Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Ooh, and possibly drag off Valter xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 NOTICE: The next TS will be occurring once posting activity begins to die down or most interactions look finished, whichever comes first. If you have any preferred destinations along the group's current route, then now (and I mean at your earliest convenience) is the time to mention so. Please remember though, that we're not going to just sit around and do nothing if we reach a destination and nothing happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercakete Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I'll have to discuss that with you two, Minun and one or both of the GMs so we can work that out, but I'm juggling a lot right now so we'll see how things go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 (edited) Well ... may want to get to me on that sometime UPDATE: -Items list updated -The counterparts to armor; robes, have been added. From now on, armors will not take half damage at range versus magic, only physical attacks. The four robe types are Robe, Blessed Robe, Holy Robe, and Seraph Robe. -Character archive updated. Clover Bradford added. Random entries adjusted slightly. Edited June 28, 2011 by Phoenix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
