Level Up 2 - Finished

Ircher · Post Post #0 (isolation #0) » Wed May 29, 2019 11:22 am

Welcome to Level Up 2: Dice-Rolling Fighting Game. For those of you who were around last summer, you may remember this thread. Well, this game is very similar to the last one, but I've made some changes that should help address some of the concerns from the last game. For both returning and new players, the game description and basic rules follow.

Objective:

To reach as high of a level as you can without perishing. (But to do so requires working with other people. You cannot do it by yourself.)

Rules:

You may join at any time by posting /in.
To gain levels, you must gain experience. To gain experience, you must kill monsters.
To kill monsters, you must use the dice tag in accordance with the next section. If there are multiple monsters, you must indicate which monster you are attacking unless I specify otherwise.
As you gain levels, you may gain new ways to play.
(New from last time:)
In general, you may
not change your action
after posting it. This is moreso for my sake as certain abilities are order-dependent, and thus, changing your action may cause issues.
That said, you
may freely change your target(s)
as that is generally not going to change anything.
See next rule.
(New from last time:)
Each time you change your target, you will receive a -1 penalty on your roll.
(New from last time:)
Unless otherwise specified, players may perform
only one action per player per round
. There are very few exceptions to this rule; it is important to note that
initiative-granting actions do not bypass this rule.
(New from last time:)
If you have not posted in the thread within the past four days, I may send you a PM to remind you that the game exists.
You are not required to act every day; however, you are encouraged to be active to keep the game going.
If you do not wish to receive these PM's, you may /out of the game. You will become a Retired Player, but you will keep all of your stats in case you want to play again.
This is not a game where players must strictly follow the rules. That is, I have the right to make exceptions to the rules, provided that these exceptions are within reason.
Occassionally, I may challenge the players to guess something about the game. You are free to choose to participate or not; however, the first player to correctly answer the challenge may get a few bonus experience points. Players are only allowed one chance to answer the challenge. You are not allowed to consult outside resources for these challenges, although it's debatable how much that will help you.

Defeating Monsters:

All players start at level one.
New players now start at level
two

three

four
five.
Your level determines your offensive power (attack dice), defensive power (defense dice), as well as your hitpoints. It may also dictate other things such as abilities and spells.
I determine the levels, attack dice, defense dice, hitpoints, and experience of monsters. I will do my best to keep the game reasonable, but I am no expert at balancing.
(New from last time:)
I also choose enemies' targets in battle and all their actions. I will try to be fair in my choices, and I will avoid actively targeting the same person several times in a row. Note that all monsters will heavily prioritize players that are participating in a battle over those who are not participating.
(Modified from last time:)
All dice are either 2-sided, 3-sided, 4-sided, 6-sided, 8-sided, or 100-sided.
At level one, players start with 10 HP and 1d6 attack dice. They possess no defense dice. At level two, players start with 15 HP and 1d6 attack dice with no defense dice. At level three, players start with 15 HP, 3 MP, and 1d8 attack dice with no defense dice. At level four, players start with 15 HP, 4 MP, 1d6 + 1d2 attack dice, and 1d3 defense dice.
When a group of monsters is defeated, all players that participated in attacking split the total XP of the group.
Unless otherwise noted, if there are multiple monsters alive, players may freely choose which monster to attack. (Please be explicit.)
To attack, just roll the dice as appropriate. Do not forget that if there are multiple enemies, you generally need to specify the name of which ever one you are targeting.

Damage and Death:

To determine the amount of damage dealt to you or a monster, add up the values of the attack dice and the defense dice. If the total of the defense dice exceeds that of the attack dice, the target successfully defends against the attack. Otherwise, the target loses an amount of HP equal to the difference between the two.
(Modified from last time:)
If a monster's hitpoints reaches zero or less, the monster dies. Experience is awarded at the end of the battle. Note that while rare, some monsters may be able to be revived by other monsters.
If a player's hitpoints that were above 1 HP before an attack drops to 1 HP or lower after an attack, they are left with 1 HP. This mechanic is known as
Healing Grace
.
Spells require a separate defense roll from normal attacks (if applicable).
Unless otherwise noted, if a player sustains damage at 1 HP, they die.
If they reached a checkpoint level, they may re-/in at that level. Otherwise, they must re-/in as a level one character.
Players that die may either respawn at the level that new players currently join at OR at their last checkpoint level, whichever is higher.
Unless otherwise specified, all players with 1 HP regain 1 HP, and all players that have died may revive as according to the previous rule once a battle concludes.
You must wait at least 3 rounds (i.e.: the enemies get to attack three times) or until the end of the battle (whichever comes first) before reviving at the last checkpoint level you've reached.
(New from last time:)
If five or more players are killed in a single battle, the battle immediately ends. (Note: It can also be one player dying five times in a single battle or some combination.)
This is considered the equivalent of a
game over
.
No one gains experience.
The battle restarts back at the beginning.

The battle may restart from the beginning, or I may replace it with an easier encounter.
All players who were still alive have their resources restored to their maximum values.

Teamwork Mechanic:

(Note that some rules here have been removed from last time, and also note the bolded rule(s). They are significantly different from last time.)

A round is defined as the combination of the players' turns and the enemies' turns. A round ends once every action for the round has been resolved.
(Modified from last time:)
All battles will possess an action threshold value. Monsters will always attack after that many players submit actions. This action threshold value will be explicitly given at the start of every battle.
(New from last time:)
When NPCs exist in the party, the action threshold specifies two values in the form "X/Y" (without the quotes). The first number X specifies the number of player actions allowed while the second number Y specifies the number of NPC actions allowed. If either is zero, initiative-granting actions for that category are not allowed.
Actions are resolved in the following order: a) players with the Quick Strike status b) monsters with the Quick Strike status c) players in the order they posted (only valid actions) and d) monsters in an order that I choose (it's not necessarily random or predefined).
Players may team up against the same enemy when using normal attacks and skills. (Spells require a separate defense roll for each one if applicable.) When players team up against the same enemy, the enemy can only make a single defense roll (which is generally made at the time most in the enemy's favor); however, each player's attack is considered separate from one another. (This last part is important for enemies that have death mechanics similar to players.) Monsters follow similar rules when they attack the same player. That said, they do not suffer the penalty mentioned in the next rule.
If a third or subsequent player teams up against the same monster (remember, spells are exempt from this definition), they will receive a -X modifier to their roll where X is the number of players attacking that monster minus two. For instance, if the worst is the fourth person to attack a monster named Alpha, they will have a modifier of -2 on their attack.
(Modified from last time:)
Initiative for players works by not counting towards the action threshold. That is, for each initiative action used, monsters must wait for an additional player to make an action before they get a turn.
Initiative-granting actions generally use up a player's action for the round. As an example, one generally cannot use "Speed Slash" and cast "Fire" in the same round.
You may not specify actions in advance.
Initiative for monsters negates the effects of initiative for players.
If, after 24 hours, no actions have occurred (and this is not due to the moderator being absent), the current round for players will end, and actions will be resolved, regardless of how many actions were left.
In the interest of keeping the game moving, the moderator may impose a deadline at anytime. Players will get a minimum of 32 hours since the first action of the round was posted before the round ends.
(New from last time:)
If all players have acted, the monsters immediately get a turn so as to not delay the game unnecessarily.

Special Rules:

Level 21) You now possess an active skill! All active skills have a cooldown period. The cooldown time is listed in parenthesis after each active skill. While a skill is in cooldown, you cannot use any other active skill. The cooldown timer decreases by 1 every time your enemies do an attack. (*Note: Cooldowns are applied globally; you cannot use any skills during that time.*)

Level 31) You can now cast magic! To cast spells, you must have MP (Mana Points) available. The cost of each spell is listed in parenthesis after each spell. MP is fully restored when you level up or after 5 battles, whichever comes first.
2) You now possess a passive skill! Passive skills have their effects occur automatically!
3) You have reached your first checkpoint level. If you die or /out of the game, you may respawn at this level rather than level one.

Level 41) Skills and spells now possess levels! When using an active skill or a spell, please specify the level of the skill or spell. Note that you are allowed to use a lower-level version of a spell or an active skill if you prefer (though I may verify.)
2) You now possess stat points. Stat points may be reallocated whenever you level up or whenever you die (after you re-enter and provided you meet the required level to possess stat points). You may exchange one stat point for either three hitpoints or one mana.
3) Some active skills may have special internal cooldowns that applies only to that skill. Skills with an active internal cooldown cannot be used while it is active, and internal cooldowns cannot be removed unless explicitly specified otherwise. (Items that normally decrease cooldowns do not have any effect on internal cooldowns. The same applies for certain passive skills (e.g.: Adrenaline Rush).)

Level 51) You may now choose a specialization path: Berserker, Warrior, Magician, or Acolyte. Unlike stat points, your decision is

final

unless you perish and have to respawn at a level lower than level five. Specialization paths grant new spells and skills specific to that path. They may also grant other bonuses.

Level 61) You now possess morale. Morale determines your resistance against Fear and other illusionary/mental effects. A player suffers from a mental status effect if their morale drops below zero. (By default, this is the "Scared" status, but others like "Charm" can occur as well.) Morale increases by (Current HP%) of {Character Level} at the end of each round (rounded to nearest) until it reaches its maximum value. Players that do not utilize the morale mechanic (level 5 and below) are automatically afflicted by the appropriate status effect for three rounds.
2) The friendship system is unlocked globally for all players. Please see 6 for more details.

Level 71) You now possess a special ability. Special abilities are special in that do not count as typical actions. Instead, they are governed by their own rules that are specified with each special ability. Most special abilities focus on providing meta effects like allowing you to reroll a bad dice roll. You must consciously use a special ability for it to have an effect. Special abilities by default do not end your turn or otherwise count against the action threshold.
2) Some spells have both a casting cost and usage cost listed in the form of (Cast: {X} Mana | Uses: {Y} Mana). Generally speaking, {Y} is some kind of variable such as {All Current Mana} or {Number of Targets}. The casting cost {X} indicates the minimum amount of mana you need to cast the spell. Despite calling it a "cost" here, you do not actually spend the mana listed under casting cost. The usage cost {Y} is the actual mana consumed by the spell. Taking the level 1 magic arrows spell as an example, it has a casting cost of 1 Mana and a usage cost of {Number of Targets} Mana. This means you need at least one mana to cast the spell, and when you do cast it, the spell uses up a number of mana equal to the number of targets you select. That is, if you select four targets, you will use up four mana.

Level 81) The party can now summon creatures. Summoned creatures fight for the party and are valid targets for enemy attacks. Summoned creatures attack automatically (i.e.: by the moderator) and do not count towards any action thresholds. Summons disappear when killed or at the end of the battle.

Level 91) You can now use power spells. Power spells are a special kind of spell that are a hybrid between active skills and magic spells. They tend to be really powerful, but they possess both a mana cost and a cooldown. Unlike normal spells and skills, power spells do not possess levels.

Miscellaneous1) The party now maintains a global inventory. After some battles, the party may receive silver coins that they may spend at shops to obtain useful items that anyone can use. Unless otherwise noted, players may use an item and perform another action during the same round.
2) The party gained a piece of equipment. Equipment can only be used by a single player, and no player may equip more than one piece of equipment (unless otherwise specified). Equipment can only be moved around during the first three rounds of any battle.

--------------------------------------------------------------

TL;DR Version for New Players:

1. To join, post /in to the thread.
2. New players start at level 5 with 20 HP, 4 MP, 2d4 attack, and 1d3 defense. Please ask your fellow players for information/advice about your abilities.
3. New players also start with one stat point and the ability to choose a specialization path. Please ask the moderator or your fellow players about this.
4. New players can post the following to perform a normal attack:

Code: Select all

[dice]2d4[/dice]

5. The game gets more complex as you progress and level up.
6. This game requires cooperation to succeed. Ask first before jumping straight in and attacking.
7. Have fun!
--------------------------------------------------------------
Now go out there and slay some monsters for experience!

Level 5.A: Path of the Berserker

-Gain active skill "Fury Blade" (4 CD / 1 ICD):

Defense = 1d4

-

Mana Points = 5

-Gain passive skill "Power Aura":

Attacking enemies that are more than four levels below you grants you a +1 modifier on attack rolls.

-Gain active skill "Throw Weapon" (3 CD):

-Upgrade magic spell "Curse" to level 2 (2 Mana):

Curses a target giving their dice rolls a -2 modifier for three rounds.
- Update (retroactively--as in, this new description applies for lower level players without morale as well) the description of the passive skill "Adrenaline Rush": If you have 1 HP or less remaining (and you are still alive), your normal attacks deal double damage, your direct-damage spells cost zero MP to cast, and your active skills have zero cooldown. Furthermore, you are immune to any and all attacks on your morale, and if you currently possess any morale-related statuses (like "Scared"), you immediately recover from them.
- Morale determines your resilience against fear and other illusionary effects. If a creature's morale drops below 0, they receive the Scared status (or another appropriate status depending on the skill/spell) until their morale is at or above 0 again. Scared characters are unable to act and unable to defend. Morale increases by (Current HP%) of {Character Level} at the end of each round (rounded to nearest) (until it reaches its maximum value.) Creatures that do not possess morale suffer the "Scared" status (or another appropriate status depending on the skill/spell) for three rounds if they take morale damage. Certain skills and spells will inflict morale damage. (For instance, if a character is level 6 and current possesses 15/20 HP, they will regain a maximum of (15/20) * 6 ~ 5 morale at the end of the round.)
- Unlock globally (i.e.: for everyone) the Friendship System. A full description will be posted elsewhere as it is far too long to copy into this space.
- Checkpoint level (If you die, you respawn at level 6.)

Level 7.A: Path of the Berserker

-Gain power spell "Mind Duel" (5 CD | Cast: 2 Mana | Uses: 0 Mana):

Challenges another character that possesses mana to a mind duel. To determine the outcome of the duel, both characters roll {Character Level}d3 + {Attack Dice}.

If the loser runs out of mana, they receive one level of the "Sealed" status affliction for every 3 points (always rounded up) the character lost by. For example, suppose Player A duels Monster B and A rolls a 7 versus B's 15. A's result is less than B's, so A lost (and B won) by 8 points. A had 4 mana at the start of the duel (note: the casting cost is not actually spent), so A loses 4 mana and B gains 4 mana. In addition, A gains two levels of the "Sealed" status affliction from the extra difference of 4 that was not taken care of by loss of mana.

If you roll the minimum you can roll on an attack roll on two of your past three attack rolls, you may reroll the last roll one time. After this skill activates, none of the previous minimums count.

-Upgrade active skill "Provoke" to level 2 (3 CD):

Increases the likelihood you are targeted for one round. You also gain initiative with this action.

-Upgrade active skill "Focus" to level 2 (4 CD):

Instead of attacking, you can increase your focus on the battle. Taking damage causes this skill's effect to end early. Your next two actions have a *2 modifier on their dice roll(s).

-Upgrade active skill "Throw Weapon" to level 2 (3 CD):

Throws your weapon at an enemy for {Attack Dice} + 2 damage. If you roll lower than the ({Expected Roll} - 1) (at this level, the expected roll is 9.0 total including the +2 modifiers; curses lower the required roll and blessings raise it), then you fumble the throw and take half of the rolled damage instead.

-Upgrade magic spell "Tornado" to level 2 (2 Mana):

Choose two targets. Each target takes 2d6 damage (roll separately for each), and if the target takes damage, the target is additionally stunned for one round.
- Power spells are a special kind of spell that are a hybrid between active skills and magic spells. They tend to be really powerful, but they possess both a mana cost and a cooldown. Unlike normal spells and skills, power spells do not possess levels.

Glossary:

*Action

: Means either a) performing a normal attack b) using a skill c) casting a spell or d) explicitly doing nothing.

*Normal Attack

: Refers to the default attack all players possess which has a strength given by their attack dice.

*Attack

: Generally refers only to normal attacks and skills; spells are generally exempt from this term. (Ideally, I remember to clarify in all instances where I use this term, but sometimes, I forget to.)

*Cooldown

: Refers to the time where one cannot use another active skill. This goes down by one at the end of each round.

*Before Defenses

: Means that the character defending against the action can roll their defense dice to reduce the amount of damage they take from an action. This can also indicate that a reduction or bonus is considered before the defense roll is applied.

*After Defenses

: Means that the reduction or bonus is considered after the defense roll reduction is applied. In some cases, this means that the target ignores defenses; however, this usage is deprecated.

*Ignores Defense

: Means that the character defending against the action cannot use their defense dice to reduce the amount of damage they take from an action.

*Initiative

: See below.
**Players : The action does not count towards the action threshold. Note that the one action per per player per round rule still applies here. You cannot act twice in a single round unless otherwise noted. (To clarify, the player threshold and the NPC threshold are considered separately; player initiative does not grant extra NPC actions, and NPC initiative does not grant extra player actions.)
**Monsters : Cancels out initiative advantages possessed by the players. (Basically, pair each monster with initiative to a player with initiative. If there are more players than monsters with initiatives (i.e.: leftover players after all pairings have been done), then that difference is the number of extra actions the players may perform.

*Slow

: Can perform only half the normal amount of actions.

*Haste

: Can perform twice the normal amount of actions.

*Invisible

: Decreases the likelihood of being targeted directly. The effect ends early upon the use of damaging attacks or direct damage spells. Indirect damage spells are still allowed (e.g.: poison, fear, etc.).
**Players : Invisible players are far less likely to be targeted directly by enemies.
**Monsters : Invisible monsters are unable to be directly targeted by players.

*Bound

: Cannot perform any actions that requires freedom of movement (including spells). Currently, only Scry Monster can be used while bound.

*Sleeping

: Cannot take actions and cannot defend from incoming attacks. Takes 2x damage frm non-magical attacks (normal attacks and damaging active skills). Wakes up if attacked (including spells), but only after all actions against that character this round are resolved.

*Stunned

: Cannot take any actions, but can defend from incoming actions.

*Disarmed

: Cannot use normal attacks or damaging active skills.

*Scared

: Cannot take any actions and cannot defend from incoming attacks.

*Charmed

: Fights for the enemy for some time. Their actions do not count against the action threshold.

*Poison

: Deals 1d3 damage at the end of each round. Ignores defense.

*Acid

: Deals 1d4 damage at the end of each round. Ignores defense.

*Bleeding

: A severe status affliction that deals diminishing damage over time. Ignores defense. Curing spells only cure a single round of "Bleeding" for every status affliction that is cured. (E.g.: A curing spell that cures two status afflictions can cure up to two rounds of "Bleeding.") Bleeding does not tick down or begin taking effect until the round after it is applied.
**One round of "Bleeding" remaining causes one to lose 10% of their current health at the end of the current round.
**Two rounds of "Bleeding" remaining causes one to lose 19% of their current health at the end of the current round. ((1 - 0.10) ^ 2). This leads to ~27% of one's current health in total (from both rounds).
**Three rounds of "Bleeding" remaining causes one to lose 27% of their current health at the end of the current round. ((1 - 0.10) ^ 3). This leads to ~47% of one's current health in total (from all three rounds.)
**More rounds of "Bleeding" continue in a similar fashion dealing 10% of one's current health as damage multiplicative for each round of "Bleeding" left. You can calculate the percentage of one's current health that is lost by (1 - 0.10) ^ n where n is the number of rounds of "Bleeding" left.

*Exhausted

: A severe status affliction that decreases one's overall power. "Healing Grace" and "Adrenaline Rush" are disabled for all exhausted characters. In addition, maximum health is decreased by 10% (final result rounded up), maximum morale is decreased by 50% (rounded to nearest), active skills' cooldowns are increased by one, and this status acts like an innate -1 curse until it expires. Players are also unable to use active skills and cast spells from Path of the Berserker and Path of the Magician. This status affliction cannot be cured by conventional means.

*Sealed

: A status affliction that seals away your memory of spells. If a character's seal level exceeds their character level, the character dies. Like bleeding, the sealed status is cured one level at a time.
**Players : For every level of the "Sealed" status affliction you possess, you lose access to one player level of spells. (This includes casting higher level spells--you will have to cast the lower level variant.) For instance, if you are level 6 and possess three levels of the "Sealed" status affliction, then you can only cast the spells "Fire" and "Redirection Shield" from player level 3. Most curing spells and items only clear a single level of the "Sealed" status affliction at a time.
**Monsters : For every level of "Sealed" they possess, their maximum MP decreases by 2.

*Unconsicous

: A status infliction sometimes sustained instead of death. Any further damage kills and defense rolls are halved while in this state. Unconscious characters cannot act. Enemies will not directly target unconscious players.

*Double Damage

: Means that a *2 multiplier is tacked on to the end of the roll.

*Two Attacks

: Means that you roll separately for each attack. For players (and certain enemies), performing two attacks can allow you to kill the character in one action rather than two (provided their hitpoints are low enough, and the attack deals enough damage.)

*Quick Strike

: Moves before other characters when resolving a round.

Friendship System

(Courtesy of James Brafin for the initial design pitch.)

Basic Description:

Friendship Points (FP) are acquired by aiding allies during battles. Whenever you aid an ally, your relationship with them gains 1 FP. When you reach certain FP thresholds, your relationship with that player will level up, and you'll be able to use special friendship skills and spells. Only skills or spells that affect an ally (such as Bless/Curse) grant Friendship Points; if in doubt, please ask me. Skills and spells that affect multiple allies (such as Minor Heal All) only grant a single Friendship Point to a single ally of your choice. Players are solely responsible for keeping track of Friendship Points (as having me do it all is way too much hassle for it to be worth it). (It is very unlikely I'll be checking heavily, so much of this relies on me trusting the players.)

Friendship Points are also mutual meaning that if the worst has three Friendship Points with Formerfish, then Formerfish has three Friendship Points with the worst.

Each time you use an action that grants a Friendship Point, you should strive to include in your post your current Friendship Points totals. (Ideally, you'll wrap it into spoiler tags.) (Don't forget to account for times where your friend uses the skill/spell on you.)

All friendship skills/spells, unless otherwise noted, count as one action towards the action threshold. Players may only use one friendship skill/spell each per round, and there may be a limit on the total number of friendship actions the party may use per round, dependent on the battle. You may not use a friendship action on/with a player that has already used a friendship action on/with you. Similar to normal active skills, all stated friendship skill cooldowns are global among the friendship skills.

Where relevant and unless otherwise noted, valid targets for ally-targeting spells and skills are only valid on friends that you possess the required friendship level with.

(For instance, if Cerberus v666 has level 2 friendship with the worst and level 1 friendship with McMenno, Cerberus v666 can only use "Share" with the worst. He does not have the required level 2 friendship to use it with McMenno.)

Friendship Levels:

Level 1

(FP Needed: 0)
- Gain Friendship Skill "Aid" (3 FCD): Grants a +1 modifier to your friend's roll. This skill grants initiative.

Level 2

(FP Needed: 7)
- Gain Friendship Skill "Share" (2 FCD): Shares a normally non-transferable item with a friend.

Level 3

(FP Needed: 14)
- Gain Friendship Spell "Symbiosis" (Cast: 1 Mana | Uses: 1 + {Mana Transferred} Mana): Heals and restores your friend by transferring health and mana on a 1:1 ratio. You may choose how much health and mana to transfer. You cannot bring yourself below 1 HP using this spell.

Level 4

(FP Needed: 28)
- Gain Friendship Skill "Team Attack" (4 FCD): Attack an enemy together with your friend. (You should roll both for yourself and your friend.) Like "Double Slash", while this skill consists of two attacks, this skill only counts as one towards the penalty.

Your friend cannot act separately after you use this skill. It still only counts as one action to the action threshold.

Level 5

(FP Needed: 56)
- Gain Friendship Spell "Cleanse" (2 Mana): Fully cures a friend of all negative status afflictions except mental ones (like "Scared"). This includes some of the harder to remove afflictions like "Bleeding" and "Sealed". The primary exception to this is the "Exhausted" status--instead, your friend will recover from that status one battle sooner.

(Other exceptions may be added as needed.)

Cerberus is the first to act, slashing at Alpha with a lightning-fast attack. Unfortunately for him, his attack misses as he slashes at the wrong location. (0 so far.) the worst is next to attack, and he lunges at Alpha's nose. He succeeds in landing his attack; however, he does not cut deeply leaving only a minor wound. (2 so far.) Finally, a newcomer jumps out a nearby tree onto the battlefield. He throws a weapon at Alpha and manages to knock Alpha over. The newcomer proceeds to stab Alpha until the poor goblin dies (though his effectiveness is hindered by the other two attackers.) (2 + 6 - 1 = 7 so far. That's more than enough to kill.)

Since I think that doesn't count towards the action threshold, I think that means I can do a normal attack too.

If I'm wrong, disregard that I suppose.

Regardless if it counts or not, players may only perform one action per player per round unless otherwise specified. That rule counts for Speed Slash as well.

Since I'm feeling nice, if you want to change your action and do so in the next 30 minutes, I'll accept it. (You may also simply rescind it in case you are unsure what you want to do now.)

As a side note, this game has a Discord chat linked in the opening post. While you are by no means required to join it, it is recommended you do so as coordination tends to be a major aspect of this game.

Edit: Also note the following (relatively minor) change made to how initiative works (primarily for monsters):

Glossary wrote:
*Initiative
: See below.
**Players : The action does not count towards the action threshold.
**Monsters : Cancels out initiative advantages the players possess. (Basically, pair each monster with initiative to a player with initiative. If there are more players than monsters with initiative, then that difference is the number of extra actions the players may perform.)

Speed Slash is useful when there are more players in the game than the current action threshold. For instance, speed slash was used last round, and that's why you were able to attack, as normally, only two people could act per battle (and two people had already done so when you attacked.)

McMenno and Cerberus manage to deal 5 damage to Gobaza. **Gobaza has 2 HP left.**

While McMenno is busy attacking Gobaza, Gobel seizes the opportunity and lands a powerful blow on McMenno. McMenno is briefly stunned and takes 4 damage. **McMenno has 6 HP left.** (Due to an oversight on my part, no visible stun occurs because all status afflictions, etc. tick down one at the end of the round, so a one round stun does absolutely nothing against the players in this case.)

McMenno leads the charge and attempts to stab Gobel in the heart. He uses good form which increases the effectiveness of the attack. (4 so far.) the worst attacks next and barely manages to land a blow after nearly falling. (6 so far.) Then, Amzela slashes at Gobel's left arm. She has some success, but she is also hampered by the efforts of McMenno and the worst. (6 + 3 - 1 = 8 so far.) Last, but not least, Cerberus makes a powerful slash at Gobel's right leg. Once more, his effectiveness is reduced by the attacks of the other three players. Black wisps begin to surround Cerberus, and they manage to push against the force of Cerberus's blade, decreasing his effectivness further. (8 + 6 - 2 - 1 = 11 so far.)

Despite McMenno's effective attack, it is matched by an equally effective defense from Gobel. Gobel takes 7 damage in all from the combined attacks. **Gobel has 2 HP left.**

Cerberus sees Gobel's incoming attack and manages to repel Gobel's attack before it cut too deeply into his skin. **Cerberus has 6 HP left.**

McMenno spent too much time concentrating on his attack that he neglected all defense. Gobaza's attack manages to have great effect. **McMenno has 3 HP left.**

Chemist1422 is walking along the road when he sees the ongoing battle. He leaps in with a powerful slash and catches Gobel completely by surprise. Gobel falls to the ground, dead.

James Brafin was walking along the road alongside Chemist1422. After seeing Chemist1422 dispatch the leader, he decides to take on the one remaining enemy. He quickly stabs Gobaza in the heart.

I generally assume everyone has a sword, but I could try to remember you have a greataxe (and therefore cannot stab). I don't see any immediate issue that caused.

In general, unless I specify otherwise, the round ends after every enemy attacked. So yes, you may act again.

James Brafin yells yet another battle cry and swoops in to take out Beta this time. Beta's measly shield cannot withstand the weight of James Brafin's greataxe. the worst takes this opportunity to try to stab Beta from behind. But for some reason, the worst loses sight of his target and stabs Beta in the toe rather than in the heart. Just as things seem like they cannot possibly go any worse Beta, Inferno390 jumps out from the bushes and delivers the finishing blow. Beta collapses to the ground, completely devoid of life.

At last, the endless goblin assaults seem to stop. You continue walking down the road when you finally spot a cave. "That must be where the goblins are coming from!" shouts one of you. You decide to take a vote as to whether or not to enter the cave. The result of the vote was unaminous: it was time to show those goblins what happens when they randomly attack strangers on the road. All eight of you enter the cave, hacking and slashing at goblins until you finally find the source of your troubles: the goblin throne room.

In it, you see three goblins and one robed man. One of the goblins is wearing a purple cloak and a golden crown. He is also sitting atop a fancy looking chair. The other two goblins appear to be the king's personal guardians. You are surprised they tolerate the presence of the robed man in the room. The room suddenly becomes very cold. "All humans must die!" yells the king, and the battle begins...

Meanwhile, Inferno390 begins the group's attack. While talking in a certain accent, he slashes at Golenea. Unfortunately, he is too busy focusing on his accent to pay attention to what he was doing; as a result, his effectiveness is decreased. (2 so far.) Next, James Brafin appears to charge at King Goblo with his barbarian rage. But at the very last moment, he u-turns and deals a mighty crushing blow to Golenea who was not expecting the attack. (2 + 8 = 10 so far.)

Golenea collapses to the ground, vanquished by the worst and the other two attackers.

The robed man maintains his cold stare. "It is the end of the line for you adventurers. Though you may have vanquished one goblin, a new one shall soon take her place. Come forth and slay these people!" he states in a calm voice. He begins to move his hands in all sorts of weird ways, and he begins spouting words in another language. Soon, a being coalesces in front of the robed man.

"Fools! I am the Goblomancer; I cannot and will not be killed by you vermin! I shall draw upon the power that is innate within each creature I summon and use it to restore my own health!" shouts the robed man.

James Brafin jumps into the air and brings his mighty axe down on the Goblomancer. (4 so far.) Inferno390 follows up and attempts to crush the Goblomancer. Unfortunately, crushing is not an effective style for the weapon he is using, and his attack fails to have much impact. (5 so far.) the worst yells out a taunt and slashes at the Goblomancer from behind. The Goblomancer is caught by surprise and is unable to respond, taking heavy damage. (5 + 8 - 1 = 12 so far.

NotMySpamAccount slashes quickly at King Goblo. Alas, he completely misses his target. (0 so far.)

Cerberus v666, though wounded, summons the courage to conduct a magical ritual. His hands begin to glow a bright red. He points at the Goblomancer, and a red fireball is launched in the Goblomancer's direction. "HOW CAN THIS BE?!" shouts the Goblomancer, "THIS IS NOT THE END OF ME!"

the worst charges recklessly into battle despite his low health. Not only is he reckless in his charge, he also manages to trip on the way causing his attack to be rather ineffective. (2 so far.) Inferno390 follows up with an uppercut slash. (5 so far.) Chemist1422 is next to attack, and he attacks with a very slow slash to the goblin king's legs. (5 + 3 - 1 = 7 so far.) Amzela attempts to whack King Goblo with the pummel of her sword again. Alas, swords are not meant for crushing, and she barely lands a hit. (7 + 3 - 2 = 8 so far.) James Brafin attempts to channel his barbarian rage and slice King Goblo with his axe. Unfortunately, his rage clouds his ability to see, and his axe randomly slices through the air. (8 + 3 - 3 = 8 so far.)

King Goblo manages to evade the worst's attack and to partially block Inferno390's slash with his greataxe. He takes some damage from the other attackers that he could not fend off. **King Goblo has 9 HP left.**

Chemist1422 is busy attacking to recognize King Goblo's attack. The axe digs into his skin causing a major scar before Chemist1422 manages to escape the attack. **Chemist1422 has 4 HP left.**

That should be enough damage to kill.

Should I end the round early?

I'll give it another (expired on 2019-06-11 21:27:31). If no one objects in that timeframe, I'll end the round early. Alternatively, if everyone agrees to end it early (or at least all the level 3's), I'll end it potentially sooner.

Edit:
the worst - Okay!
Cerberus v666 - Okay!
Chemist1422 - Okay!
James Brafin - Busy, so doesn't really matter.

the worst heads into battle and stabs King Goblo in the heart. (6 so far.) Inferno390 follows up by smashing his sword's pummel into King Goblo, knocking him onto the ground. (12 so far. 9 - (12 - 4) = 9 - 8 = 1 hp left.) Finally, NotMySpamAccount leaps into the air and slashes downward at the Goblin King, vanquishing him.

Chapter 1: The Goblin King has been cleared!

Having finally slain the goblin king, the group of adventurers head back to town and celebrate their victory. Alas, their celebrations do not last. A large group of gelatinous slimes appear inside the inn. Luckily, all the other customers are able to escape by group teleportation spells prepared by the innkeeper for emergency usage. Unfortunately for the group of adventurers, now officially known as the Murderhobos, they are left behind to deal with the slimes. (The innkeeper decided not to teleport them after hearing of their battles against the goblin terrors.)

Chapter 2: The Mystical Slimes begins!

next time, do it like this for double slash:

[dice]1d2-2 [/dice]

Ircher · Post Post #282 (isolation #99) » Wed Jun 12, 2019 8:00 am

That's a good question, let me check....

Actually no, it doesn't qualify.

It is actually treated as 1+2=3 for the first attack and 1+1-2=0 for the second attack. Keep in mind that even though you roll the 1d6 and 1d2 separately, they are treated as if they were a single 1d6+1d2 roll.

That said, if in your next threee rolls, you roll a 2 total on two of them, that would qualify (since each double slash attack roll is considered separately).

Inferno390 leads the charge and slashes quickly at Alpha. Unfortunately, he ends up slashing at thin air. (0 so far on Alpha.)

Cerberus v666 takes the time to analyze Alpha's movements. He learns the following information:

Spoiler: Alpha Scrying Info

James Brafin proceeds to slash twice at Alpha. He manages to land a hit with his first slash, but the slime manages to slither out of the way of the second slash. (0 + 3 + (2 - 2) = 3 so far on Alpha.) **Alpha has 10 HP left.**

Alpha retaliates against James Brafin:

Seeing as Alpha is already occupied by two other attackers, Amzela turns her attention to Beta. She hurries over to Beta and slashes in a downward motion. (8 so far on Beta.) Then, the worst jumps in and performs a diagonal slash at Beta. (8 + 6 = 14 so far on Beta.) Beta lets out a shrill noise and dies.

Charlie slithers toward the worst:

Alpha manages to make contact with James Brafin, but James Brafin quickly leaps away. **James Brafin has 17 HP left.**

the worst is too busy gloating over his recent win over Beta to notice Charlie's approach. The slime covers him in a deep coat of goo before the worst moves out of the slime. **the worst has 10 HP left.**

Note: the worst also still has an unallocated stat point.

Inferno390 is busy thinking about his failure of an attack allowing Delta to take advantage of the situation. **Inferno390 has 9 HP left.**

Amzela remains alert but is unable to handle two threats at once and ends up covered with a transparent gooey substance. **Amzela has 11 HP left.**

Ah shoot.....

@James Brafin:

You were already on cooldown from using double slash last round. You can't use speed slash this round. That invalidates inspiratieloos's action this round, but I'll accept your action as a normal attack. (As a reminder, all cooldowns are global.) (If I had caught it sooner, I may have allowed a different option, but at this point, it's a bit late to change it.)

Cerberus v666 slashes twice at Alpha. He successfully cuts his blade through the slime dealing major damage. (5 + (6 - 2) = 9 so far on Alpha.) **Alpha has 1 HP left.**

Inferno390 swings his sword at Delta. He succeeds in cutting off some pieces of the slime. (4 so far on Delta.) **Delta has 9 HP left.**

James Brafin attempts to hack some pieces off of Charlie. He has a good degree of success. (7 so far on Charlie.) **Charlie has 6 HP left.**

NotMySpamAccount attempts to quickly dispatch Alpha, but he misses completely. (0 so far on Alpha.) Chemist1422 proceeds to try his luck, but he slashes thin air as well. (0 so far on Alpha.) Then, Inferno390 finally deals the killing blow to Alpha. The slime withers up and dies.

A new person runs fearlessly into the inn. He stabs his sword at the slime known as Charlie. (4 so far on Charlie.) the worst helps out and slashes the slime into little bits and pieces, killing it.

Chemist1422, who is distracted, also gets covered in a thin layer of slime by Echo. **Chemist1422 has 12 HP left.**

James Brafin, seeing his friend is being attacked, jumps in to rescue him and slashes furiously at Foxtrot. (4 so far.) the worst follows up with another slash to the side of the gelatinous slime. (10 so far.) Finally, Chemist1422 dives in and hacks the slime to itsy bitsy pieces.

Also, I've thought about it some, and from now on, symbiosis will heal the targeted player by 75% (rounded up) of the roll, rather than 50%.

(Half is too little from the few times people have used the spell.)

Honestly, even at 100% it still wouldn't be that good.

You're wasting a turn while doing net damage to the party (or doing nothing at 100%), and given the way the threshold works losing a player doesn't actually decrease damage output that much.

Cerberus dealt 4 damage to himself to heal the worst for 3, if he had instead attacked one of the slimes one more attack would likely have killed it, saving 1-6 hitpoints to someone. So the party now takes 1+1d6-1d3 (assuming the slime hits a player with defence)-> ~2.5 more damage than we would have with a normal attack instead of the 'heal'. That's not even taking into account the mana that could have been spent on something else.

I think that's a problem with most skills/spells in the game though, in most cases they're not actually better than just using a basic attack. Only the two cooldown strikes are actually good skills to use when available.

Attack Echo

Original Roll String: 1d6 (STATIC)
1 6-Sided Dice: (4) = 4

Everything has their usefulness in certain situations. Honestly, I made the symbiosis spell similar to a spell in another game I've played, and it worked in a similar fashion. Nevertheless, I'm open to suggestions, so don't feel discouraged to say what you think should be said.

Also, dying is pretty significant because you don't keep all your level and experience, so the overall power of the entire party decreases.

Upon defeating the group of slimes, the townsfolk return to the inn, and before you can do otherwise, they provide you with a couple of silver coins.

The party has obtained 12 silver coins.

The innkeeper, while unable to provide all of you with a room to stay for the night, offers to sell the party some items. Here is what is on offer:

Innkeeper's Stock:

1. Lesser Healing Potion (5 Silver): Heals 1d4 hitpoints of a player.

2. Lesser Curing Potion (4 Silver): Cures a single status affliction of a player. The player may choose which one. This potion does not work against certain status afflictions such as fear and curse.

3. Power Tablet (8 Silver): Increases the result of your next roll by 1.

4. Numbing Powder (3 Silver): Roll a 1d6 and select an enemy target. If a 6 is rolled, the enemy is bound for one round. Bound status is a lesser form of stun; however, certain skills like Scry Monster can still be used while bound. (Ask the moderator for specifics.)

(Note that players may both use an item and perform another action in a single round. Exceptions may apply; if in doubt, please contact the game moderator.)

The next battle will commence in (expired on 2019-06-18 12:35:55) or after everyone posts or after the party runs out of money.

In post 337, inspiratieloos wrote:Okay, my analysis of all the skills:

Active Skills:

*Scry Monster - Tells you the special skills, spells, and other abilities a monster possesses.
**Level 1 (PLV 2) (0 CD): None.
Definitely not worth an action at this point, since most monsters don't have relevant information and even if they did we don't really have relevant abilities to use the info, by the time scrying might be relevant the lvl2 should be available to most players

**Level 2 (PLV 4) (0 CD): Also gain initiative.
At this point, probably not worth one of the highest level players taking a turn off, by the time it becomes relevant this would be pretty good probably

*Speed Slash - Attack an enemy and gain initiative.
**Level 1 (PLV 2) (3 CD): {Attack Dice} - 2 damage.
Free damage, the best skill available

*Guard - Decreases damage taken from the next few attacks.
**Level 1 (PLV 3) (0 CD): Half damage from 1 attack.
Lose the group an action, would be useful for low HP players if it had initiative.

*Double Slash - Slashes an enemy twice in one action.
**Level 1 (PLV 4) (4 CD): {Attack Dice} and {Attack Dice} - 2 damage.
free damage, would be good if it wasn't strictly worse than quick slash 99% of the time due to longer CD, if it had the same CD as Quick Slash they'd both be situationally better

*Meditate - Spends time meditating to regain hitpoints and mana points.
**Level 1 (PLV 4) (7 CD): 1d2 hitpoints and 0 mana points.
problem is that it runs on the same CD as QS and DS so you'd give up using them to save this, would otherwise be situationally pretty good as an escape for a player at 1 HP

Passive Skills:

*Luck Mitigation - When rolling the minimum value on an attack roll multiple times in the recent past you may reroll the attack role that triggered this skill a certain number of times (or until you get a more favorable result.)
**Level 1 (PLV 3): 3 out of 4 to trigger; 1 reroll.
nice small bonus, always good to help the players that get sucky rolls

*Adrenaline Rush - When health is critically low, normal attacks deal double damage, direct damage spells cost zero mana to cast, and skills do not have cooldowns.
**Level 1 (PLV 4): 1 HP or lower.
Actually really powerful, probably too powerful? A player can go to 1 hp, do a free huge hit with DS and then get healed before the monsters can respond. Might be more balanced if it was a choice to use and prevented being healed for a time.

Spells:

*Symbiosis - Gives HP to an ally by taking damage. 75% of the damage you take (rounded up) is given to the target in the form of HP. One cannot give so much HP that they die from using this spell, and this spell cannot kill you.
**Level 1 (PLV 3) (1 MP): 2d3 damage taken.
Really bad unless used to bring a player from 1 HP to above 1 HP, the recent buff doesn't help.

*Fire - Sears an enemy and ignores enemy defenses.
**Level 1 (PLV 3) (1 MP): 1d3 damage.
Way too weak, a normal attack vs defence hits harder than this, also only useful if you're the only person attacking otherwise the next player to hit it will trigger defence anyway. Would be situationally good (whenever you're the only person hitting an armoured enemy) if the damage was actually close to a basic attack.

*Examine Creature - Tells you the special skills, spells, and other abilities a monster possesses. In addition, reveals the monster's inventory.
**Level 1 (PLV 4) (1 MP): None.
I assume an upgrade to this will come that gives it initiative, basically the same thing as scry but slightly better at the cost of mana, though shouldn't the names be switched? Scry usually implies a spell while examine implies mundane investigation.

*Curse - Curses a target and lowers their effectiveness for some time.
**Level 1 (PLV 4) (2 MP): -1 modifier for 2 rounds.
At best 4 points (2 attacks and 2 defends) worse than a basic attack at that level. At this level increasing the length wouldn't do much because most monsters die within 2 rounds of focussed attacks anyway.

*Bless - Blesses a target and increases their effectiveness for some time.
**Level 1 (PLV 4) (2 MP): +1 modifier for 2 rounds.
Same as curse, but worse because the monsters aren't necessarily going to attack the buffed player, OTOH increasing the length would actually make this significantly better.

Thanks for the feedback.

As for meditate, it's suppose to come at a huge drawback. Healing can be pretty powerful, especially under this game's rules where players generally require at least two hits to die.

Blessing/Cursing can be useful sometimes as some attacks may have effects that only occur if some condition is met such as the attack dealing damage. I agree that they're pretty weak right now, but also, modifiers can be really useful.

Fire is more useful than you think. It's good for guaranteeing kills on enemy's with defenses. The last set of enemies didn't have defenses, so it's pretty useless then. The damage is low because it isn't meant to be spammed; I like how I've seen the spell be used in practice.

You're probably right about symbiosis, but it's the only real way of healing other players at the moment.

I liked your suggestion for guard; higher levels will see a more useful variant.

As for Scry Monster versus Examine Creature, you're right that the names should be swapped, but Scry Monster came first and then I thought of Examine Creature.

I consider Adrenaline Rush to be fine, even with the caveat you mentioned because in practice, people are going to avoid staying at 1 HP if they can help it.

That's just my perspective on the issue, and like I said, feel free to continue to provide feedback.

Pedit: You would just have to bold the purchases, although it would probably be best to confirm with the others.

The Murderhobos pay the innkeeper ten silver coins and receive two lesser healing potions in return. The innkeeper then proceeds to offer the group of brave adventurers some additional information, "This isn't the first time those slimes attacked. I think they're coming from a dark cave to the east of here." Following this lead, the group decides to hunt down these slimes so that they no longer bother the townsfolk. As the group is walking towards the cave that the innkeeper gave them information about, they are attacked by a small group of colored slimes.

The white-colored slime emits a menacing aura. Believing it to be the most powerful of the group, James Brafin slashes twice at it. He succeeds in hacking off several bits and pieces from the slime. (3 + 5 = 8 so far on Charlie.) Amzela proceeds to hack more pieces off of Charlie. The slime lets out a shrill sound before dying.

Cerberus v666 slashes downward at Alpha cutting off an entire section of the slime. **Alpha has 2 HP left.**

Alpha attempts to hug James Brafin:

James Brafin leaps out of the way before Alpha can reach him. Cerberus v666 manages the same against Beta.

Amzela is not so fortunate. Despite her best efforts to avoid the incoming slime, Delta still manages to contact her. As soon as the orange slime touches her, Amzela feels confused.

Amzela has been stunned for 2 rounds.

**Amzela has 15 HP left.**

Fearless as ever, James Brafin leaps into battle and hacks several pieces of slime off of Delta. (6 so far.) Cerberus v666 quickly follows James Brafin and finishes off the slime. **Delta is dead.**

inspiratieloos charges towards Alpha and cuts downward with his sword, vanquishing the foul slime. **Alpha is dead.**

Beta is very slow in its attack, and inspiratieloos quickly manages to get out of the grip of the slime. Despite avoiding most of the damage, inspiratieloos feels slightly drained by the blue slime. **inspiratieloos has 14 HP left.**

I didn't get the difficulty correct on this battle.

The following changes are being made:

1. Bless and curse now last for three rounds rather than two.

2. Guard is now called Defensive Slash (2 CD): Slash at an enemy for {Attack Dice} - 4 damage. You will take half damage for one round.

3. Symbiosis is being changed to the following (1 Mana): Protects an ally by taking some of the damage they would otherwise take for them. You will take half of all damage (before defenses) they receive rounded up. Your ally will take half of all damage they receive (before defenses) rounded down. This effect lasts for one round.

Edit:

One other change: If you do not post in the thread for 72 hours and you are still considered to be /inned to the game, I will send you a reminder pm.

inspiratieloos steps towards Beta, but he fumbles his attack and barely strikes at the slime with his sword. (1 so far.) the worst joins inspiratieloos to help him.

The group of adventurers take a short while to rest. Thankfully, no monsters attacked them while they were resting.

The party has regained all of their mana and three points of health each.

The group then finally finishes their trip to the cave of slimes. On arriving there, they are greeted by a dazzling array of colored slimes and one bigger, colorless slime. Strangely enough, not all of the slimes begin moving towards you. The bigger slime appears to be directing the smaller colored slimes.

James Brafin leaps into battle and slashes twice quickly at Charlie. Charlie tries to back away, but James Brafin is too fast. The slime takes heavy damage from the first strike before dying to the second one. **Charlie is dead.**

the worst begins studying the movements of the large slime. It takes awhile, but he learns the following information. He also suspects that there may be additional information that he is unable to gleam from performing a non-magical scry.

Spoiler: Gamma Slime Scrying Info

Cerberus v666, a very courageous man, attacks twice at Delta. While his first strike is a bit of a flop, his second strike hits accurately and hacks off a large chunk of Delta. (8 so far on Delta.)

Inferno390 takes the opportunity to catch the Gamma Slime by surprise and attacks it swiftly. He manages to land a hit. (2 so far on Gamma Slime.) **Gamma Slime has 26 HP left.**

inspiratieloos enters the battle and quickly slices a small chunk off of Delta, killing the slime. **Delta is dead.**

Chemist1422 runs towards Lima and slashes twice with his sword. He hacks off large pieces of the slime with each strike, killing it with the second strike. **Lima is dead.**

Not Known 15 is walking randomly along the road when he comes across a cave. Feeling a bit curious, he decides to enter the cave only to find a battle is already ongoing. He decides to join the Murderhobos in their battle and slashes at India. He stumbles on the way there, but he still manages to deal some damage. **India has 8 HP left.**
----
The Gamma Slime begins emitting a foul substance from its mouth. It fills the surrounding air, and while it is not poisonous, it makes it much harder to concentrate.

Everyone's cooldown timers have increased by 2 rounds.

Echo, the yellow-colored slime, moves towards James Brafin:

Foxtrot, the green-colored slime, creeps towards NotMySpamAccount:

India, the purple-colored slime, begins moving in strange motions and uttering incoherent sounds. Purple wisps form around the slime. India then makes a movement towards James Brafin, and the wisps fly towards him. James Brafin is suddenly consumed by a wave of fear.

James Brafin is scared for three rounds. Scared players are unable to act and unable to defend.

Juliet also begins making the motions and sounds needed to cast a spell. Angry white wisps coelesce around the slime before flying towards Chemist1422 and the worst.

James Brafin is too afraid to move and takes major damage from Echo. **James Brafin has 12 HP left.** He also finds himself covered in a nasty acidic substance, causing him to take further damage.

James Brafin is covered in acid for 1 round. Acid deals 1d4 damage every round it is active and ignores defenses.

The red wisps are very faded, and the worst is only slightly burned by them. **the worst has 3 HP left.**

Perfect timing!

Symbiosis is being changed yet again after further feedback. It is now called "Redirection Shield" (1 Mana): Protects an ally by taking some of the damage they would otherwise take for them and by giving your ally a protective shield. You will take half of all damage (before defenses) they receive rounded up. Your ally will take half of all damage they receive (before defenses) rounded down. In addition, enemies that attack players who have this spell active (target, not caster) receive 1d2 damage (ignores defenses). This effect lasts for one round.

Cerberus v666 is not paying much attention to the Gamma Slime's movements, but as soon as the slime contacts him, he leaps away. **Cerberus v666 has 5 HP left.**

Mike barely gets a chance to hug Not Known 15 before he moves out of the way. **Not Known 15 has 3 HP left.** Not Known 15 suddenly feels something is different, though he can't quite tell what it is.

Golf manages to coat James Brafin in a small layer of goo before changing its mind and moving back towards the other slimes. The slime's touch makes James Brafin feel a little tired and drained. **James Brafin has 8 HP left and 3 MP left.**

Cerberus enters the battlefield and cuts a minor piece off of Mike while shouting a battle cry. (3 so far on Mike.) the worst follows up with a vertical slash, but he uses poor form, decreasing the effectiveness of the attack. (6 so far on Mike.)

inspiratieloos slashes quickly at Alpha. He manages to knock some bits off the slime. (2 so far on Alpha.) **Alpha has

James Brafin tries swinging his greataxe at Beta, but the weight is too much and he only slices off a small sliver of the slime. (3 so far on Beta.) **Beta has

Perhaps because it was in such a rush, the Gamma Slime fails to move towards the worst; instead, it moves away from him.

Meanwhile, Mike gives Inferno390 a huge, gooey hug. Inferno390 suddenly feels different. He also collapses to the ground momentarily before getting back up.

Inferno390 is cursed for two rounds with a -2 modifier.

Perhaps tired from the long battle, Cerberus v666 passively watches as the red slime approaches him and consumes him. At last, he comes to his senses and moves out of the way, but not until after collapsing to the ground exhausted. On the other hand, the red slime Alpha seems to be revitalized and grows in size. **Alpha has 10/10 HP left.**

You had a reduced chance of being attacked, but it wasn't zero. Basically everyone who attacked got their name entered in twice rather than once in my list. That's how I've been randing it since the start of this battle.

Part of the reason for doing this is the ratio of enemy attackers to players acting.

Ircher · Wed Jun 26, 2019 12:51 pm

Oh, the following change is being made to fix a potentially very broken combination. Meditate will have an internal cooldown of 3 rounds which is specific to that skill. While the skill is on internal cooldown, you cannot use it even if you are not on global cooldown. Unless explicitly overriden by another skill's description, using an active skill will always activate its internal cooldown. (What this means for you the player is that Adrenaline Rush, while it gives 0 global cooldown for all active skills, does not allow you to spam Meditate because Meditate's internal cooldown of 3 rounds will activate.)

Let me know if you need a more concrete example of this change.

James Brafin, reckless as always, charges in slashes twice at Beta and dispatches the slime in two clean blows. **Beta is dead.**

Even though Chemist1422 utterly fails in performing a clean attack on Mike, he still succeeds in killing the slime. The slime lets out a high-pitched squeal before dying. **Mike is dead.**

Though critically injured, Cerberus v666 is still willing to attack. His heart rate has increased dramatically, and with this increased heart rate, Cerberus v666 finds new strength. He leaps forward to where Alpha is and powerfully slices his blade right through the slime, doing massive damage. (8 so far on Alpha.) Jackal711 then swoops in and cleans up. **Alpha is dead.**

The Gamma Slime moves swiftly towards James Brafin, and even though it may be a slime, you are able to tell by its movements that it is angrier than it has been in the rest of the fight.

Perhaps due to its anger, the Gamma Slime stops for a moment before quickly resuming its movements towards James Brafin. Alas, that was all James Brafin needed to move out of the way.

Golf on the other hand succeeds in contacting NotMySpamAccount, but NotMySpamAccount quickly breaks free of its grasp. Nevertheless, the blue slime's touch makes NotMySpamAccount feel drained mentally. **NotMySpamAccount has

inspiratieloos rushes in and hacks at Golf. The blue slime becomes visibly smaller after the attack. (6 so far on Golf.)

Inferno390 slashes as fast as light at the Gamma Slime. His slash connects and deals damage! (2 so far on the Gamma Slime.)

Maybe it is due to the magic of this world, but Not Known 15 manages to stand back up at full strength. He quickly dispatches Golf, sending the slime to the void. **Golf is

James Brafin leaps in and attempts to body slam the Gamma Slime. This does not go as well as he hoped as the slime is barely phased. (James Brafin is lucky he didn't get any of the slime's slime on him.) (5 so far on the Gamma Slime.) **The Gamma Slime has

Four actions had already been posted by the time Gamma Emerald posted, so unfortunately, his does not count.

Jackal711 jumps in with a vertical slash at the large Gamma Slime. He hacks off a tiny piece of it. (2 so far on the Gamma Slime.) Cerberus v666 follows up with two horizontal slashes. His first slash slices partially through air while the second one cuts off a huge chunk of the slime. (2 + 3 + 5 = 10 so far on the Gamma Slime.) James Brafin then leaps into the air and slashes downward in a diagonal fashion, hacking off even more bits from the slime. (10 + 8 - 1 = 17 so far on the Gamma Slime.) Not Known 15 attempts to help out, but he is unable to do anything among all the commotion.

Inferno390 attacks the large Gamma Slime, but he slashes a little too far to the right and only hacks off a small piece of the slime. (3 so far on the Gamma Slime.) Not Known 15 joins him and powerfully cuts right through the middle of the slime. The big slime screetches in pain. (9 so far on the Gamma Slime.) Just as the battle is about finished, yet another adventurer comes trampling into the entrance of the cave of slimes. He walks up to the slime and swings his sword at it, stealing the killing blow. "Well that was easy," he said, not knowing the blood, sweat, and tears that it took to dispatch the entrance slimes. **The Gamma Slime is

- Gain active skill "Fury Blade" (4 CD): Attacks an enemy for {Attack Dice} - 3 damage and grants a bonus action to the user. (A bonus action basically means you can act again. You will not be able to use active skills though because the cooldown from this skill immediately becomes effective.)

Level 5.B: Path of the Warrior

- Gain active skill "Cross Slash" (4 CD): Attacks two different enemies for {Attack Dice} - 2 damage. If an enemy takes damage from this attack, that enemy takes an additional one damage.

Level 5.C: Path of the Magician

- Gain magic spell "Silence" (2 Mana): Silences an enemy for two rounds, preventing the enemy from using spells.

Level 5.D: Path of the Acoylyte

- Gain magic spell "Minor Heal All" (4 Mana): Heals all allies by 1d2 hitpoints. (You should only roll once for this spell.)

The band of adventurers search the nearby crate from which the Gamma Slime withdrew the potions for any loot. Inside, they found another Lesser Healing Potion and junk items that are worth a total of four silver coins. **The party now possesses six silver coins.** Just as the group finishes grabbing the items, another band of slimes appear. Compared to the colorful rainbow of slimes the group had just fought, all of these slimes have a dull, silver color to them.

You could use fury blade then cast a healing spell or something like that. Basically, path of the berserker gives great utility, which admittedly is a bit strange.

Ircher · Sun Jun 30, 2019 10:13 am

Fury Blade is also likely to be really strong with adrenaline rush as you won't trigger Fury Blade's cooldown in that case. So you could do Fury Blade + Double Slash then or Fury Blade + Meditate then with 0 cooldown.

Not Known 15 stops for a moment and examines Charlie's movements. They learn the following information:

James Brafin slashes twice at Alpha. (5 + 4 = 9 so far on Alpha.) Gamma Emerald joins him to help out. (9 + 1 = 10.) The silver slime's skin begins to harden.

James Brafin and Gamma Emerald manage to slice off a large chunk of Alpha, but due to the thickness of the slime's skin, it was not as big as they'd hoped. **Alpha has

Not Known 15 is unable to move out of the way of the incoming object. It hits them directly on the forehead. Once they recovered from the impact, they notice that the object is made of solid silver and is shaped like a silver coin. He places the coin into his pocket. **Not Known 15 has

Gamma Emerald does not see the silver object coming and is hit in the nose by it. Like the object that Not Known 15 was hit by, this one too is shaped like a coin. Gamma Emerald pockets the object. **The party has gained two silver coins!** **Gamma Emerald has

Cerberus v666 sees Charlie from a mile away and quickly moves out of the way.

James Brafin runs as far away from Delta as he can, preventing the slime from reaching him.

we should get 3 more attacks in:

Not Known 15 leads this attack and attempts to slash quickly at Delta. Alas, he is not paying attention to where he is going and ends up slashing thin air. (0 so far on Delta.)

Inferno390 decides to refocus the group's efforts on Charlie after seeing Not Known 15's failed attack. Inferno390 ends up misstepping causing him to attack at the wrong angle. (3 so far on Charlie.) Jackal711 joins Inferno390 and slashes violently downward. (9 so far on Charlie.) James Brafin then swoops in and slashes horizontally. His effectiveness is slightly decreased due to the number of attackers. (13 so far on Charlie.) Charlie's skin begins to thicken...

Formatting Update:

Before this update, the player statuses post was rather long as I duplicated a lot of information for each player. In particular, the skill set and spell set for each player was duplicated even though they are basically the same for levels 1-4 and have only minor differences from level 5+.

Thus, the new format deletes a lot of this excess bloat, and you can see the stats and skills of a player of your level at the end of the post which provides a standard "template" for players of a certain level.

Let me know if you find this new format confusing and would rather I stick to the old format.

Once again, Not Known 15 leads the charge against Delta. He slices a mid-sized chunk from the slime. (4 so far on Delta.) Inferno390 joins with a side slash.

Ircher · Mon Jul 01, 2019 11:29 am

Out of nowhere, a slice of cake magically is magically teleported in front of all of you. The person nearest to it picks up and stows it away in the group's magical inventory. **Cake is an item that restores 50% (rounded down) of a player's health as well as 25% (rounded down) of a player's mana. It goes without saying that cake is both rare and super valuable.** All of you then proceed deeper into the cave.

As you go deeper into the cave, you come across a few more groups of slimes that you dispatch with ease. At last, you come across a brightly lit room with torches in each of the corners of the room. As soon as all of you step into the room, the cave immediately becomes pitch black.

"Who turned off the lights?" one of you yell. Another yells, "This can't be good!" All of you freeze in your tracks, unsure of what to do. It is at that moment that you begin to hear movement. "Oh no! Slimes are incoming!" a third person yells. Each of you reflexively withdraw your weapon from your sheath... Or at least you try to. To your utter amazement, your hands grasp air! "Hey, where did my weapon go!" "This isn't funny!" Each of you make a similar shout in anguish. It is at this point that you hear another sound. The sound of cackling from deeper within the cave.

At last, one of you comes up with the bright idea of casting "Fire" at each of the torches to relight them. As that person does such, the room lights back up. As expected, none of your weapons can be found anywhere.

"Hmm... That's strange," states the person who lit up the room, "I don't feel tired at all after casting four "Fire" spells. It must be the air; I can feel an energizing quality to it." Though you do not have swords and other weapons, you do have the power of magic to overcome this trial.
