Fantasy Behold, the Shadow Lord Returns (OOC)

[argotNaut]

it's just that even the personality and the more-or-less archetype you chose would make the niche i picked for them kinda obsolete.

 

[Spoiled Bread]

Hello, this looks interesting. I can play as tanky knight or bombard mage.

 

[Acethekidd]

Hi, I'm brainstorming a character ~

 

[Ghostiiys]

Is a beast master still on the table? Since that's what I was planning to make!

 

[BuggaBoo]

Hi!!

I'd like to play a shadow manipulating, beast riding, hunter type of charrie

Me! Ghostiiys But if you wanna go full snow white all goods lol

 

[Ghostiiys]

I was going more of a monster-tamer hippy with the ability to morph into a beast herself since she is a beast woman, maybe that's enough of a distinction? love your idea by the way!

I believe neither role has been touched since all the people making mages were focused more on other applications of magic than destroying things.

As BuggaBoo said they were gonna make one first, but I believe the two of you sorted that out among yourselves.

Spoiled Bread , is it fine if my light mage swerves into destruction territory a bit? definitely not the main point of his powers, but still.

K so like questions then:

• What is power level expected of charries? Like my girlies peoples have sent her cuz she is one of the best hunters they have.
• Also she is elven descent So she will be like 200 years old. Does that mess with what she would know Of the world?
• Are we just gathering for first time? Or are we each still looking for the Hero rn?
• How screwed up is Nature due to the shadow war thingie?

1. The starting powerlevel is rather high for everyone except possibly the Hero. They're in a specially picked party, after all.
To clarify for Gaius Danius Griinia , the hero will start out weaker than the rest of the characters.
2. Yes, it does. She would have been born at the very end of the last Shadowreign and would have grown up in its aftermath.
3. The King has found the Hero and has picked out other members of the party based on multiple factors, such as personal connections or their application.
4. Nature all around has mostly healed since the last Shadowreign, except for in the Demon Country, the Shadow Lord's place of origin.

Sure, even if I end up making blast mage I won't really mind. two cannons is better than one.

Karcen Everything is good on your character sheet, except for one part.

Abilities:
Speed up time to age a target years in seconds

This seems hilariously powerful against regular opponents, please nerf it. I'd recommend at most a year a second, but with such a thing slowly reversing as Viza moves away from her target.
Though, to make up for this I was thinking that she could stop time for people's specific limbs, rendering the target part unable to be moved (or damaged) for a duration.

its honestly just meant to be a dot type thing rapidly aging them the time really dosen't matter kind of why it is years in seconds technically it matches yours idea just counting mutipule seconds
it is meant to be a way to kill not a de buff

as for the stopping areas she already can do that it is kind of an ultimate move

Well it is technically damage over time, because stabbing someone 5 times is technically "damage over time" since you do damage during a period of time. It's just way too fast imo.
Let's take an 20 year old human, for instance. The minimum amount that you can age them is 1 year a second due to the wording (years in seconds, 2 years in 2 seconds.) In about 20 seconds he is weakened, and in 30 he is becoming elderly and losing the ability to fight. The ability to permanently weaken an enemy by aging them up with no drawbacks or prerequisite is absurdly powerful and must be held back somehow. I'd recommend something like Viza having to touch the target with her hand at least once for this to be usable, or like before having this slowly reverse if she gets out of range.
Plus, if you want to get into more realistic implications of this, it might stick people in a sort of "time hell" where a real second passes by in a year for them. Also, they'd starve to death in 3 microseconds. While it is cool, there's a lot of unintended side effects for it.

How about it is a concentrating thing aso magic aging so yeah we can toss out fun and water and such

 

[Karcen]

If you want given we seem to have diffrent ideas on it I'll scratch that out o have plenty of other soells in MI d these were just demo

Sure, having it be concentration based would work.
I want to clarify that I'm not going after this ability because it's fun, I'm going after it because it would trivialize encounters between you and human enemies. You already have some good auxiliary abilities that I'm thinking of ways to play alongside and an entire pool to make up spells from on the fly, I don't think you need the skeleton transfiguration spell on top of all that.

If you want given we seem to have diffrent ideas on it I'll scratch that out o have plenty of other soells in MI d these were just demo

There's a lot you can already do. For instance: time magic gives you access to a lot of gravity related things as time and gravity are intrinsically linked.

Yeah the last bit is what I mean thos one is a sticking point and there is plenty more these are examples
