Fantasy Epic Saga of The Intrepid Adventurers (OOC)

[ThomasYeagger]

but if you think your spells should have a cast time, then by all means give them a cast time for RP value

Yeah since I don't really have a mana reserve to keep up to date or an actual timer, I'd say a big spell would either take my whole action to last if it's all I'm doing, or cast in between 2 rows of actions. Now if course I won't spam anyway haha, but yeah, I feel like this would be more balanced. I also like the idea of having to get protection from my teammates before I can do something big. Let's force our guys to cooperate a bit !

NEVER ! Long red hair is the basic spec of any water mage xD

What do you mean rows of action?

 

[LuvDragon]

Hi darkborn
I'm liking your character.

 

[XtaticSoda]

i think he means rounds

 

[Car54]

Please explain the r

I would say it depends on the spell. Heal spells on a single person casts faster than a heal spell for the masses. Some spells use components. so instead of time or mana you might have feathers, money, or something special.

 

[XtaticSoda]

Oh ya and ritual spells that take a long time to set up and aren't really intended for combat

 

[LuvDragon]

i think he means rounds

AH ok. I'm a bit slow, sorry.

 

[Squee]

Thomas
ace
then car

Though I wouldn't be opposed to giving Squee a second reaction after half of the characters, so they don't have to respond to quite so much at one time

That might be appreciated

 

[ThomasYeagger]

What do you mean rows of action?

Yeah like, at the end of my post I say he starts casting, and next time it's my turn to post, if no one disrupted me, I'm good to go ^^

I meant more like, forming a big a*s ice projectile to throw at his target, or loading a strong lightning zap. Smaller scale stuff will be more or less instant

 

[ThomasYeagger]

Now, at first it should have been Ace then I, but last time I posted first, so whose turn should it be ? :C

That seams like a really long time unless it's a big spell. I would say limit your spells?
Like my barb can cast a max of 4 spells a day and do 2 breaths. I've used 2 or 3 spells (need to double check now) and one breath.

 

[XtaticSoda]

ok so lets try it this way. full order:
Yhmera
XtaticSoda
ThomasYeagger
Squee
Ace Cream
Car54
darkborn
LuvDragon
Squee

Sound like a plan? Unless someone has other Ideas?

Well yeah, I'm talking about big spells haha, the kind of stuff that might turn a fight, not smaller scale things. I will also limit stuff in number yeah, I think I should make a definitive list of his abilities and keep track yeah.

I am using the D&D 3e spell list for bards. I get one level 3 and three level 1 and 2 spells. I have then per picked. ^^

 

[Yhmera]

I like the idea of limiting your number of spells you can cast daily

I have no D&D knowledge ><

 

[LuvDragon]

I have no D&D knowledge ><

I understand. I googled it.
for mage or wizard (same thing)
figure out how many you think you should know. It helped me with my character.

 

[ThomasYeagger]

I like to make up my own stuff I'll just have to limit them to a fair number of uses per diem.

 

[XtaticSoda]

I'm playing mine as sort of a mix of spells per day and a magic pool
rather than having spell slots for levels. so its more like I have a number of spell points, and different spells take more or less points.
LuvDragon does your number of spells also include your bardic performances or no? I feel like it shouldnt

bardic performances??

 

[XtaticSoda]

sorry pathfinder term. The number of times you can imbue magic into your songs or words

 

[ThomasYeagger]

Okay so I updated the list of his spells, now I have to think of a fair limit.

 

[Squee]

This is fun! No one answered me about the moon, so can I say that it is full? Might make for some interesting ’oh crap’ moments later when their next fight comes along and they realize he’s not the kind that is limited to the moon.

 

[XtaticSoda]

i mean if its anything but a full moon right now, we would figure that out pretty fast XD.
My character's magic gets stronger with moonlight, so its something I'd like to keep track of as well
