Quest Online Description/Character Sheets (Sword Art Online Inspired RP)

Indeed it is.

...So should we wait for Angel to have Morgana react to being dragged to the table or what?
 
It is up to taste but if we do, we shouldn't push it too much.
 
Eh, let's wait. I can't think of much that wouldn't push it too far along.
 
Despite Nevvys disposition. The stats ARE important. They will determine how hard you hit. How much damage you can take that is non lethal. hes hateful of the stats and thus biased simple as that.

Anyways.

If you stay with you a specialized stats you will use the rates from your base class permanently so for example lets say you are a Blader and raise your str to 70, and you endurance to 100 you STILL will only be able to spend 25 points max per rank in Str and 10 Max per rank in Endurance because of how your stats Started.

Now for Cross class you will be gain a huge buff in two of your stats those depending on which cross class you go with and from what starting class you were. Thats a +60 to each of those two Stats. Now if you've done everything "Right" your base stats that were the highest will still be the highest. I want people to choose one of their classes they cross classed between and follow their base stat rating. so now we use Night Blade for Example: After I cross class I can choose to use the Whispers Base or keep the Bladers its up to you. this allows for players to experience the play style of either of those classes with their stat based restrictions. So If you went to Whisper you no longer would be alloted 25 points towards str each rank up but instead towards your acrobatics 25 points.

Does this make sense?
 
Nah. I may dislike stats but you overgeneralize. The only way it would make a large difference is if you as the GM start making can do/can't do calls which is exactly what you guaranteed would not happen beyond reason. Call it what you will but in general, you either will or won't be able to come out on top. Changing your allocation of skills doesn't drastically change the capabilities of an RPer. Whether they are based on strength, speed, or whatever, if they would have come out on top with one stat set, they'd likely come out on top with another equal stat set. Hence, it just becomes a matter of taste to the character.

It'd be nice if we got to know when you made these changed. Lol. Honestly, I prefer this way as it leads to less ridiculously odd caps.
 
Ill add it in and just make like an update portion on the main description for people to read this stuff.

Still saying its like confetti is also over simplifying it so we are kind of on the side of two spectrums here. stats are important no matter what is said. they are. maybe not drastic but important none the less.
 
Oh, go read the whole sentence instead of taking things out of context. I noted it as a ballpark which translates most clearly as "Don't sweat the minor details as they aren't likely to do a lot, being more superficial than game changing. The general direction is the main point." Sheesh. I may be choosy about my words but I'm not about to over-exaggerate unless I'm doing it on purpose to prove a point or mess with someone.
 
@Kaine I figured it would be easier to explain everything by doing a class-specific write-up for you... So hopefully this helps! ^^" Sorry if we are confusing you or making this appear very technical. Hopefully this provides you with the compare/contrast between Advanced v. Cross-Class you desired

Lovely. That's all correct as far as I can tell except for one tiny thing. In the case of cross classing, now the base is changeable upon the class change to either the original or the class crossed into based upon a one time choice at the time of cross classing (according to Wolf's post 544) so the final stat caps for the first wep plus second wep in the cross class are going to have a lot more variance depending on what you cross into if you decide to go with the other class's base.
 
As far as what I know when Wolfsin and I were creating this whole system, that assumption is incorrect, Nevvy. When a player decides to cross-class their total stats thus far are not changed. The only change is that, depending on what class they choose, the player will gain 60 bonus points in two specified traits to start out with.

I should explain the reasoning.

When you cross-class, for example, from Whisper to Fighter.

Realistically speaking Whisper has very weak strength and endurance stats. Fighter, on the other hand, has very strong strength and endurance stats. The way we decided on what stats would gain a bonus with the specific cross-classes is by comparing the stat differentials for each pairing and deciding would you would logically gain from combining two classes.

Whisper has weak strength and endurance, fighter has strong strength and endurance. Naturally, when you cross-class whisper to fighter you would gain an increase in strength and endurance, because essentially that is the biggest advantage you would get by choosing to train fighter as a second class.

By implementing this method there is no need in changing your base-stats to whatever class you are crossing into, because the point of the bonus to begin with is to make up for whatever you would gain by crossing classes. Also, it simply wouldn't make sense (in my opinion), to train and decide on your stats... and then completely change everything you've developed so far to a different stat base after already choosing how to add your stats.
 
I wasn't talking about the actual stats. I was referring to how the base affects the caps. Quoted from post 544,

"I want people to choose one of their classes they cross classed between and follow their base stat rating. so now we use Night Blade for Example: After I cross class I can choose to use the Whispers Base or keep the Bladers its up to you. this allows for players to experience the play style of either of those classes with their stat based restrictions. So If you went to Whisper you no longer would be alloted 25 points towards str each rank up but instead towards your acrobatics 25 points."

So basically, what its saying as far as I can tell is that you choose whether to use the base of your original class or the one you crossed into for the rest of the RP. If you switched, it'd change your growth caps for the last 5 ranks, the ones for your second weapon. It isn't changing the current stats but it does change the final caps, meaning that the weaker stats can reach a lot higher than 105 (possibly +60 for a total of 165). Instead, they can reach up to 240 in the event that you chose the other class and the cross classed into had 20 in the noted stat that you had 5 in before. The strength of the cross classing is shoring up weaknesses. Without this, cross classing would basically be trading away a lot of your final cap for quick growth but almost no tangible gains at the end. With it, it allows the dynamic of allowing your would be weakest stat to come out a lot higher than it would be in the other route even after doing the third weapon.
 
My mistake, I misunderstood what you were trying to say. Thank you for quoting that though -

Under that pretense, Kaine, the max stat amounts will depend on what cross-class you choose. Altogether the Cross-Class system is pretty customize-able with your stats, at the expense of 180 points in the end.
 
Not a big deal. Misunderstandings happen aaaaaall the time anyway. Honestly, when deciding to cross class or not, the ability to shore up a weak stat is a slightly appealing idea but I find this to be a more determining factor. There's a set of weapons for each route. If there's one in particular you want, you might end up deciding your route considering (or outright deciding) that you want that particular weapon for your character, be it personal taste, character taste, or whatever. If you haven't skimmed them yet, here they are.

Thank you [MENTION=4101]Key[/MENTION], that was the most easily understandable explanation yet.

That said, I'll probably just stick with Adv. Reaper. That Reaper Scythe sounds cool. ;P
 
No problem ^^"

Alright, so... The life-skill success/fail tables have been changed up a bit, to be more consistent and fair. There were also a few typos and one of the tables had their values completely inverted. Anyway, from now on we'll be using the new system, but for the sake of not messing with everything up to point, everything concerning life-skills that has already happened will stay the same. Hopefully it'll be less confusing and more beneficial from now on.
 
Lol. So the enchants finally got fixed.

So yeah. Slowing the pace just an ounce so we don't get too far ahead of Angel.
 
Character sheet looks good, @Kashuka ^^ Looking forward to RPing with you potentially~

Also, @Kaine and @Nevvy, I'm going to wait until you guys reach day 10 in the RP before I write responses as Luna and Snow, so we can get something going with the guild without someone being too far ahead. o:

@CrimsonMaiden and @kikinki, are you both still interested in joining Luminescence? If so we should work out a brief/rough plan on how we would like our characters to go about meeting. ^^​
 
Hm, random idea for the guild system in Quest.

What do you guys think about there being an option, when you join a guild, to be able to place your guild's insignia on your body somewhere of your choosing? Like, having it as an option when you first accept the guild join request?​
