Rothene Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 A few questions...class ability needs to be activated as a battlepost or it passively just boosts the team as long as the RPer made a post that the character is in battle alongside the team? Will there be a minimum increase? For example say the stats of the character is 0, example being mag in all non-spellcasting classes, will the class ability increase the stat by 1 or zero? Also, does the effects stack? and... and... and... ...reclass? 8] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Cynthia- Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 1. It's a "free" action one can take at the beginning of a player phase, similar to the mercenary ability that lasts for one round. 2. Minimum bonus of one to all affected stats. 3. It does not stack with items. Let's say a Bard empowers a Mage with an Arc tome. If the Mage had 20 Mag, the total would be (20x.25= 5) + (20x.5)= 10 for a total of 35 Mt. 4. Reclassing may be possible on a situational basis for new classes added, though the old class should be similar to the new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acacia Sgt Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 By the way, is there a chance of a possible boost for Str and Def as well? Not necessarily creating a new class, or having the Bard boost all 6 stats at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rothene Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 So for reclassing. How are the Stats going to be spread? Current stats - Old Class base + New Class base? Or complete redistribution? Hmm...Instead of Boosting Mag, have it boost Def since Def is universally useful like Res. Same goes to Spd and Ski. Mag only helps spellcasters and Str only helps physical. Boost Str and Mag could prove...interesting for Arcane wepaon users in the the same team though. Also if there are somehow Two bards in the same team. Will each Bard benefit off the other's buff? And would the third character get buffed from both? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Cynthia- Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 1. It's boosting what it's boosting currently. 2. Bards can benefit off of other bard's buffs but not their own. 3. I guess a third team member would get both bonuses separately. 4. I imagine that just bases would change when reclassing, no respending level ups.

Snowy_One Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 That kind of sucks if you try to reclass into something you have a less-than-optimal spread for. Not my call though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 (edited) You can always use the Retrain. Keep in mind that reclassing itself is 'free'. Edited December 12, 2011 by Phoenix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercakete Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Wait, why can bards use tomes and staffs? There should be "bard only" instruments in the items, I think, with the instruments each benefitting the bard in a different way, similar to weapons on attacking characters. Like, say, the drum provites +1 to the str benefits to the teammates. Something like that to alter which stats are increased by how much to the bard's teammates.

Phoenix Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 (edited) Eh convince Luna. But the Bards don't strictly have to use musical instruments. The class just needed a theme was all ... and 'dancer'(s) are suspect. Edited December 12, 2011 by Phoenix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercakete Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I think if it's a support class then it should be a support class. Not a healing or fighting class. This is a way to carry with the theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Seems like it would restrict them to that role(which would be a first). I don't really oppose buff enhancing equipment, but I am against those being all they can use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roymbrog Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I'm going to stop dragging you guys down; things run much more smoothly when I'm not here. I may return one day when I'm feeling lonely or something, but for now you guys can enjoy the RP without me coming in and complaining every night...

Rothene Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Huh? What have you been complaining about?! I think anyone not the GM has their fair share about complaining about stuff in the RP...what makes your complains so special at hindering?

I disagree with this decision personally, but it's your call. Hope you come back soon, and on a slightly unrelated note, if you want some ideas about characterization, drop me a line. I might have a few tricks that can help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoenix Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 UPDATE: -Bard ability updated. Bards now boost skl and spd while being able to add either str/def or mag/res after acquiring a skill book. The skill book additions are permanent, similar to the myrmidon upgrade. -Level Requirements list updated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psych Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Question. If we purchased two skill books would we be able to boost both sets of stats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acacia Sgt Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Question. If we purchased two skill books would we be able to boost both sets of stats? It's impossible to get two Skill Books since there is only one Book Slot, so no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snike Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 It's impossible to get two Skill Books since there is only one Book Slot, so no. Large Pack OR Storage. Your answer is invalid. Moving on, this might be a good time to inquire about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, it's only half-invalid, since it only contradicts the latter part of my statement. Until proof of that surfaces, the former portion stands.
