It's a brand new day out there and adventure waits! The pub's wall is filled with requests, and a life of adventure, money and magic awaits! What are you waiting for? System: I’m using using Jimbozig’s Strike! Y’all can buy it here. It’s tactical fun for the whole family! Going to run it on Roll20, but since it doesn’t support Strike! sheets I’ll ask y’all do put yours on Google Docs. Most prospective time I’ll be running is SUNDAY 8-12 PM, GMT-3. It’s my first time running this game so please have some patience with me~  Setting and Chargen: Game is set on the Jylland region of Final Fantasy’s Ivalice setting. While it has only a handful of cities, a lot of villages dot the commerce-rich region, and players are welcome to add anything they want (as long as it’s reasonable, of course) to it. The players are part of a Clan, an adventuring group that accepts requests and missions such as slaying monsters, collecting rare items and going on adventures! Judges and the Law System are also there in order to prevent deaths on the field with the unwanted cost of restricting certain actions on the battlefield… [PLUTONOTE: Regarding the Law System, I’d like to talk with the players before setting it because from what I heard on the Strike! thread, I don’t want it to completely cripple the players, but rather just serve as an added challenge] I'm picking five people! Players can be from the Hume, Bangaa, Nu Mou, Viera, Moogle, Gria and Seeq races, but if you want to be something weirder, more exotic, nothing stops you! Stuff like Jimbozig’s alternate class features and kits are fair game, other homebrewed stuff needs GM approval first.  Deadline: Two weeks would be enough, so June 26 it is. By then I’ll have finished my finals so everything would be A-OK for playing! Plutonis fucked around with this message at 02:59 on Jun 14, 2015 |

I've been wanting to get in on a Strike game! It doesn seem that way from your post but is knowledge of the Final Fantasy games beyond googling the races and stuff necessary? I've only played like half of FF3 and that's it.

Definitely in. Will edit in something later. WIP Archer (Controller R) Alice Bloodberry  "...Fascinating." Alice has always had this vacant far-off stare to her, and a generally neutral expression. Being born with eyes that see everything in entirely too much detail does that to a person. It certainly made archery a snap to pick up. Always looking down at things, inspecting them, thinking of just what is going on in their heads, and how to remove them from this world even faster. This lead to her dabbling with poisons, wielding a bigger bow, and using the wildlife to her advantage. Carving meat out of a critter and then chucking it into the fray, and watching as a predator runs in to claim its prize. In retrospect that's kinda messed up. But she's kinda messed up herself in that respect. Either way, she found work hunting down dangerous creatures alongside other specialized hunters. While more accustomed to working alone than with others, and her idea of witty rapport is single-word responses, you can rest assured that her arrow always finds its mark. And that you will never be that mark. Background: Hunter (Assassin) Origin: Hume Hunter (Animal Lore as skill, Sprinter as Feat, Critter Magnet as Complication) Skills: Poisons, Sharpshooting, Social Engineering, Stealth, Climbing, Animal Lore Resources: Underworld Contacts (Connections), Rich (Wealth 2) Trick: The Getaway (A hunter is always prepared to become the hunted. When something in a plan goes wrong, you see it coming and have a way out of that trouble.) Complications: Critter Magnet, Greatbow more like Giantbow Class: Hunter (Archer) Role: Controller (Ranged) Moves: Aim, Flare, Pin Down, Area Denial, Sap Strength, Save Again Abilities: Sniper, Control Boost Feats: Slippery, Sprinter Motivation: Alice finds herself wanting to find something that snaps her out of this routine of hers. Something that has enough twists and turns that she can't just analyze it with a sidelong stare. To that end, clan work is an attempt to discover everything there is to find about the world by traveling across all kinds of exotic landscapes and finding new creatures to hunt. However...she still hasn't found the stuff of legends, the kinds of things that have people talking and speculating about them for years on end. Until she gets that thrill of the hunt, of her life being in real danger, she'll keep searching and just giving unenthused responses to everything.

When you say "8-12 PM," do you mean 8 am to noon, or 8pm to midnight? EDIT: Oh, wait, I just realized that I can't play at either of those times.  So I guess I don't need to know, but someone else might.

Any weekday would be great for me and my Elfgame Über Ally Brennon, but would it be possible to start 20-30 minutes later than you currently plan to? Get off work exactly at the current start time, gotta get home.

If people want a template here's the one I posted for another game, feel free to steal/tweak it. Some of this doesn't apply for every class/role/whatever. Two things though, one, I don't really love Kits but I don't think their terrible either (I prefer just rolling skills), so I think plutonis should decide one way or the other if they're getting used. Two, the newest character creation rules list a new step which might be worth paying attention to and including on your sheet:quote:7. Why is your character driven to do interesting things alongside the other characters? This step doesn’t have any mechanical weight, but it is not optional! You must have some reason for your character to be involved and interested and not just along for the ride. In Strike, you must be prepared to take the initiative. Until you can answer that question, you are not done making your character! It's probably not a huge deal with the people I've seen post here, but answering that sorta question in a "go adventure, because Adventure" game helps give your character some focus and drive compared to something where all the PCs start with like, a clear revenge story. Class: Magician Magical Source: Star Mage At-Will Powers: Liscato's Bountiful Lubrication, Margul's Toxic Missile Encounter Powers: Furz's Undeniable Command, Mudge's Localized Inferno, Parvel's Total Constriction Reserve Spell: Momentary Encystment Role: Leader Teamwork Boost: Gain the Tactics encounter power. When you roll a 5 or 6 on an attack, regain the use of this power. Healing Boost: Gain the Heal encounter power. Action Trigger: Try again! Background: Urban Cowboy Skills: Crowing, Drinking, Gun Tricks, Gambling Resource: Poor [1], Odd Jobs [Finding/Connections] A cowboy doesn't mind getting his hands dirty. Tricks: Feeling Lucky?: A cowboy always seems to draw the right card. Origin: Heavy Weapons Specialist Skill: Tinkering Feat: Minor Blasting Complication: Unstable Weaponry Additional skill: Physical Endurance Additional resource: Portable Hole [Finding] R&D seems to have left a few unfinished gizmos in here! Additional feat: Melee Shooter Additional complictation: Bravado Kit: Gunslinger Basic Ability: When someone challenges you to a duel, you gain an Action Point if you accept. When you challenge someone else to a duel, announcing their crimes to all, they must accept or else suffer Disadvantage in all social rolls until you pardon them or they defeat you in some way. Advance: Trash Talk I should have a real character posted here in the next day or two

I made two characters, because I couldn't decide. I'll pick one later based on the party needs/whichever people think is cooler.

Nobody could ever say that Gilles was not his father's son. Jon Arsene Saint LeBlanc, the famous adventurer, explorer, and monster hunter, whose many and varied exploits eventually gave way to a quiet retirement at his substantial plantation estate outside of Camoa, where he continues to put out ever more fantastic volumes of his memoirs with every passing year. Regaled by his father's stories since infancy, it was hardly any wonder that his firstborn and heir would one day follow in his father's footsteps on the path of glory. Despite his mother's pleading, the young moogle rode out in the night in full regalia, and has been avoiding family servants in embarrassingly motherly letters ever since, while his father sends support, both moral and financial. fool of sound fucked around with this message at 03:11 on Nov 3, 2015 |

Buddies is a very cool class, but remember there's also Summoner if you're interested in a more flexible option. Buddies is more a Bartz-and-Boko style "Boy and his 'Bo" team up, but a more traditional beastmaster who tames or controls monsters would probably be closer to a Summoner.

If you're trying to make some sort of 'man and his chocobo' type thing (or other riding creature), it doesn't really work, unfortunately. I tried for my character. Basically, the major advantage of Buddies is the ability to threaten two areas at once, which you lose out on for very little benefit if you stick together all the time.
