I agree, please send me how the images work on here of the dice. For now we can use the square grid for combat. Make a level 1 character, ie six tier one skills. And half of them are one type and the other half are another. (I will post tonight a new "create a character page.) _________________ 2nd Place World Championship Gecon 2011 (no loses) |

Its just like the online games. They use BBCode tables to format things (http://sfr-inc.com/bb/faq.php?mode=bbcode)
to show images on the forum you use the BBCode IMG tag.
Its just :
Code: | [img]http://www.sfr-inc.com/icon/Lava_Elf/Bladesman.gif[/img] |
the trick is just knowing what the image name is. There is a forum topic which lists every image, but thats heavy on the server to serve every image every time.
so I like to use http://www.sfr-inc.com/dcm.php and when you see the image you want onscreen you rightclick and (in firefox) can do 'copy image location' and just paste that into your post....
so I already picked the two dice for my character. Heavy/Cav. I just need you to QM. _________________ Multiplayer Champion Gencon11/Battlefest Champion(tied) GenCon10/World Champion GenCon07/National Champion Origins05/Intermediate Champion GenCon02/Novice Champion Origins99 |

I thought you would say that give me a bit then, I will post something later tonight. Is your character a girl? Kinda sounds like a girl name. Also how should we determine the grid, please post an example of the grid and I will test placing dice in the squares. _________________ 2nd Place World Championship Gecon 2011 (no loses) |

Born from boiling geysers, the Scalders have been reeking havoc on different nations of Esfah for some time now. The Scalder villages lies in the barren tundra of the Shadowlands, beneath the tall peaks of the Frostwings' mountains. The Frostwings do not allow the other races to come to their land, for they have been betrayed once before. Lately the strong walls of ice created to fortify the Frostwing kingdoms are all but puddles of water.
Uendilor, the king of the Lava Elves, has grown restless of his kingdoms being destroyed and wishes to take the fight to their home. The clever king knew he could use the Frostwings' recent problems to his advantage. Uendilor decided to send one of his best men to negotiate a temporary truce with the Frostwings. They needed to cross their mountains so he could send his armies to the source of destruction. Vierintra is one of the Lava Elves' best warriors, he is very skilled with a sword and quick on his feet. Uendilor knows that if he fails to negotiate, Vierintra could always force the Frostwing's hand with his sword.
The blistering winds of the Shadowlands show no mercy. As Vierintra was climbing its bitter mountains, the cold was beginning to take its toll on the determined Lava Elf.
Here you must make a save roll to determine if you character can withstand the unbearable chill winds. Once you tell me your roll I can determine if you succeed or take damage based on your roll.
*There is a basic chart that tells a Quest master what a character needs to pass a noncombat roll. These are of course guidelines and a Quest master can change the result needed. _________________ 2nd Place World Championship Gecon 2011 (no loses) |

Do I need to pick professions? based on my starting dice I think it would be...
Acrobatics- Maneuver
Athletics- Melee
does that make me a CircusFolk? _________________ Multiplayer Champion Gencon11/Battlefest Champion(tied) GenCon10/World Champion GenCon07/National Champion Origins05/Intermediate Champion GenCon02/Novice Champion Origins99 |

Lol yes that would make you Circusfolk. Its the new monster for the Feral
In this case I would say you do not get your Highland bonus, because you are out of your element. If it were extreme heat, like say a volcano, I would allow your racial.
So in this case you got one result, so you will take two damage. You did not do well but you will still get some Aventure Points (working name for non combat experience)
Tracking through the snow you hear something shifting up ahead. Just then a icicle flies past your face, grazing your cheek. With the wind dying down you can make out a winged figure standing atop a snow covered tower. You hear the figure bellowing with laughter.
"Little elf, you are foolish for coming up here! You look cold, would you like a blanket," he said with a sarcastic smirk. _________________ 2nd Place World Championship Gecon 2011 (no loses) |

my racial ability is 'heat' based? So I have... 4hp left?
not sure how deep you wanna take the RP stuff, but here you go...
"A blanket? With the Scalder tribes camping in your foothills I'll soon be shedding the cloak I'm wearing while your icy tower is naught but a puddle. Will you then be shedding your furry hide to deal with the warmth?
I come under a truce authorized to negotiate how our two races can rid themselves of our mutual enemy. Unless your King is in the habit of standing guard duty and you be he, I will allow you to escort me to his throne room." _________________ Multiplayer Champion Gencon11/Battlefest Champion(tied) GenCon10/World Champion GenCon07/National Champion Origins05/Intermediate Champion GenCon02/Novice Champion Origins99 |

Its not heat based, but you shouldnt have an advantage in this weather, but anyway, yes you have 4hp.
"Your King is arrogant! We can handle our own problems, without the help of your ponytails. There will be no truce, and no one sets foot beyond our mountains." In a rage the winged figure jumps down from atop his Tower and gracefully lands in the snow. With an echoing roar the fully armored Frostwing fiercely flies towards you.
Ok so here we will for Initiative. We will each roll and count maneuver results. The lowest number chooses which square they wish to start in. The next lowest then chooses their square. This allows the people who roll the highest to have an advantage of where they want to start. (I am thinking this might work better as a 4x4 or hexes, but we will try the 3x3 for now.) I rolled 3 results. _________________ 2nd Place World Championship Gecon 2011 (no loses) |

anyway my roll is...
Bladesman-2 Melee
Bladesman-1 Save
Bladesman-2 Melee
Spider Rider-1 ID
Spider Rider-1 Maneuver
Spider Rider-1 Maneuver
so 3 maneuvers. (BTW - do I know what my opponent is? ie his types?) _________________ Multiplayer Champion Gencon11/Battlefest Champion(tied) GenCon10/World Champion GenCon07/National Champion Origins05/Intermediate Champion GenCon02/Novice Champion Origins99 |

Yes it a cultural thing to make fun of all elves with their long hair
Ok so each square will be the following terrain. We will only worry about the colors, not the different faces of terrain.
*Refer to the grid for how attacks work.
1-Highland
2-Highland
3-Highland
4-Highland
5-Flatland
6-Flatland
7-Flatland
8-Flatland
Since you lost the roll, you choose which square you want to start in. _________________ 2nd Place World Championship Gecon 2011 (no loses) |

Also forgot to mention, you cannot see the enemies dice. That would be like seeing a enemies stats in dnd. But you know its a frostwing, and judgeing by his skill with that icicle, he is most likely a archer _________________ 2nd Place World Championship Gecon 2011 (no loses) |

Quote: | Since you lost the roll, you choose which square you want to start in. | assuming this follows the PDF you sent out, ie
123
8 4
765
what is the terain type of the center?
if that is the setup, I will pick #3, the corner with highlands on both sides. _________________ Multiplayer Champion Gencon11/Battlefest Champion(tied) GenCon10/World Champion GenCon07/National Champion Origins05/Intermediate Champion GenCon02/Novice Champion Origins99 |

Yeah forget the bonus of the attack type, keep it simple. Probably wont use that idea.
The center will also be highland.
Ok the enemy will start at eight.
Start of the turn he will move to the center and attempt to shoot missle at you.
He rolls 3 results. _________________ 2nd Place World Championship Gecon 2011 (no loses) |

so saving against three damage:
Bladesman-1 Save
Bladesman-1 Melee
Bladesman-2 Melee
Spider Rider-1 Melee
Spider Rider-2 Maneuver
Spider Rider-1 Maneuver
Since I'm at a highland thats, 4 saves.
I assume that I now take my turn?
so I move into the center as well (which is no maneuver roll to 'engage' only to 'disengage' right?)
and I will attack in melee.
Bladesman-2 Melee
Bladesman-1 Save
Bladesman-1 Save
Spider Rider-2 Maneuver
Spider Rider-1 Missile
Spider Rider-1 Missile
so two. _________________ Multiplayer Champion Gencon11/Battlefest Champion(tied) GenCon10/World Champion GenCon07/National Champion Origins05/Intermediate Champion GenCon02/Novice Champion Origins99 |
