Oh hell yes, I will make a mans for this. Right now, thinking Fire-Aspected mercenary type. Not sure if I want to go with a swordsman or Righteous Devil Style, but I'm leaning towards the latter. Edit: How are you handling XP and Backgrounds? 3 XP per dot, or what? MadcapViking fucked around with this message at Aug 18, 2011 around 16:27 |

XP: 163/164Silvermane yelling at him, impatient with his progress: "No! Feel the flow of Essence from your hand to the repeater! A lizard like you should be faster, Sal. AGAIN." Waking up to find men dragging him roughly from the remains of his family's house, demanding he tell them where the Artifacts and jade were safeguarded. He was a boy, youngest son of Grave Phoenix, and the only survivor of the household after the Contagion swept through the town his noble family administered for the daimyo. The chains around his wrists, legs and neck chafed, and galled his pride. The oppressive heat of the desert on the slave caravan, the sun beating down like a club. He bears it. His blood was that of Fire, after all. The heat should be nothing to him. He would make these dogs pay once his blood told true. A massive thing, tearing through the slavers, fire bursting from its hands as its feet crushed the bodies of the men like eggshells. Fire that stirred his own blood. Fire that wanted to burn. To consume. To be. Red-hot chains exploding away as he came into his own. The monster suddenly becoming a man, silver-haired and smirking. Finding his mother's bracers, and his father's weapons and armor. The hearthstone of the family Manse. All in the pile of loot the slavers had stolen from his home. A burning fury, coursing through him still. "Teach me. Teach me to fight like that." "Pfah. You're just a lizard. You can't fight like I do." "I don't care about that. Even my father couldn't shoot the way you do. Teach me how to do that." A strange gleam in the man's eye. "Perhaps... Perhaps you could learn that. It will be hard. And I will not be kind." A defiant jut to Salamander's jaw. "I don't care. I need to learn to use my father's repeaters to end the slave trade. It's not right." Silvermane, laughing. "So, the little lizard understands! Not so easy under the lash, is it, boy?" Salamander awoke, staring at the ceiling. al-Padin always told him that dreams had meaning. Now he dreamt of the beginning. He sighed. Change was coming. Something new. He went downstairs to check if there had been any messages in the night. He was starting to run low on supplies, and that last job had taken far more ammunition than he'd anticipated. He squinted at the sun, smiling slightly. It was going to be another hot one. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ pre:Shopping List Thing Learned XP Cost Training Time MadcapViking fucked around with this message at Mar 27, 2013 around 18:55 |

OldMidgetWillow posted:Cloud of Ebon Devils seems...not so useful if you're using Plasma Tongue Repeaters. You'd only have to reload once every ten shots(and if a combat is lasting even ten shots we're doing something horribly wrong). You'd be way better served by getting the First Martial Arts Excellency. The hearthstone bracers are kinda nice if you want to keep the Speed 3 shots--you lowered the speed on your punches twice though. Oh, damnit. Right. I got that statblock from another character who had the Bracers. The Repeater is normally Speed 5, though, so I already accounted for the bonus the Bracers give me, there. And as for Cloud of Ebon Devils, no it's not useful with repeaters, but it is necessary for Righteous Devil Form. First MA Excellency was kind of a crucial oversight, though. Thanks!

Gotho is an interesting kid, from what I gather. But then, anyone who goes around with a gently caress-off huge bear like that is bound to attract some attention and generate some stories. Seems to be pretty handy with a repeater, too. I'll be sure to keep an eye on him. Dove is one who seems to always be on the move. Another noble, like me, but as far as I can tell, she never had anyone teach her that titles don't really mean poo poo if you can't back 'em up. On the other hand, she seems like she's got herself a mission and a purpose in life beyond making it to tomorrow, which is more than you can say of most. Nawuu is a builder, and that's admirable. So many folks have to turn to looting and destroying to make ends meet, it's encouraging to see someone get by in other ways. He knows a whole lot about old tech, but for the love of Fire, don't get him started. I saw him in a bar once; he'd been talking about the Shogunate since before I got there, and was still going when I left a couple hours later. If I ever manage to mess up my pieces while I'm around here, though, he's the one I want working on 'em. Zarcus is an ugly motherfucker, but in these troubled times, I'm not going to hold that against him. I've seen wannabe warlords before, but he's different. Rumor has it he knows his poo poo, especially when it comes to that scythe of his. I hear he's got a soft spot for kids, but that's about the only soft thing about him that I've heard of. Let's just hope we don't end up at cross-purposes.

Sal's not really inclined to draw down absent Lancer McStabbity or one of the others deciding to make the first move. He was mostly interested in seeing how they reacted. I sort of want to see how they react to Praise, but if they decide to try and murder her, I suspect that that will not go over too well.

I guess Sal could start shooting, but that seems entirely out of character (and contrary to his Oath, besides). He'll stand guard, essentially, and wait for the real fun to start.

Honestly, given the sheer amount of backstabbing politics inherent in a Realm game, "well-adjusted" is probably not an adjective that should apply to any Dragon-Blooded character therein.

For some reason, I thought I had allocated my stats wrong, and was asking to restat before any combat occurred. Then I looked at my sheet and realized that no, in fact, physical was secondary, not primary (and therefore Dex 5 was out of the question for the time being)

I'm probably going to be largely indisposed for the next few weeks. MAJOR school project due the morning of the 23rd, with oral arguments on the 17th and the 30th.

I've only got range on the two at 92Y. That's the problem with flame pieces/repeaters: until you get Charms to extend their range, they're capped at 20Y.

I'd thought about it, actually. I'd intended Grave Salamander to have been a practitioner, and Silvermane likely picked it up for disguise purposes. That being the case, Sal will probably just try to pass Righteous Devil off as personal flair on a familial version of the Style, or something. If you're willing to let him learn some of the techniques without accrual penalties for straying from Celestial MA, I'd certainly consider it. Barring that, he could always start learning some of the Archery charms that have cross-applicability.
