The Inn at the Edge of the World (OOC)

[Silvertongued]

Well, everyone here started out at CharGen, with no extra XP, so you'd likely for the 60/60 spread considering her age. That is, 60 for her Attributes, and 60 for her skills and/or Advantages.

 

[KatarinaMID]

When you guys say skills start out at one, is that a one you pay for with XP or a default one you simply have?

 

[Silvertongued]

Attributes start at 1 automatically, Skills you need to pay for, otherwise they remain at 0.

 

[KatarinaMID]

I also find myself a little confused with Skill Focus


Stealth: Avoiding detection, either by hiding presence or altering it, and so on.


Suggested Focuses: Disguise, Shadowing, Sneaking, Smuggling, Hiding Objects


So it would work somewhat like... My Skill is Stealth, and the Focus is... Sneaking?

 

[KatarinaMID]

Ah, but if I have (in my case) Five skills at four, I'd select the skill and pick a focus in each area?

 

[Silvertongued]

Yeah, pretty much. Anything that goes above 3 gets a skill focus. Meaning, that for that skill, you have effectively 3 in all areas. Once you get to 4 and above, you have to start specialising.


So to use your example, your Stealth is 4, and your Focus is Sneaking. That means that if you're rolling for Sneaking, then you'd be using 4. Rolling for anything else under Stealth that doesn't fall under Sneaking, you'd be using 3.

 

[KatarinaMID]

Alright, she's up. I do hope I posted it properly.

 

[Silvertongued]

Alright, looks good for the most part, though you forgot to put in a skill focus for Subterfuge.


Also, right now, Catalya's little more than a combat monster. Good with stabbing, sneaking, and braining people with her bare hands, but little to no social acumen nor mental ability.

 

[KatarinaMID]

Sounds about right. I figure during her time at New Hope, she'll come into the skills of actually learning to be human. I'll add the skill for Subterfuge.

 

[Silvertongued]

Righto~ I'll update the thread sometime tonight or tomorrow~

 

[Teh Frixz]

Hmm. Just a thought, the Iron Rose house and assets were the ones Lyke preyed pretty heavily on for a while I think. Like she used to target that banner specifically to rob. IIRC that is.

 

[KatarinaMID]

Would she (Being Catalya) be aware of this? Well, would the house Ferldain be aware of her name and such?

 

[Teh Frixz]

I doubt it, Lykes a bandit with a tendency towards just killing the people she caught rather than deal with hostages. Catalya might just peg her as a bandit, not that bandit. She didn't act alone either so it'd be hard to identify her as the sole aggressor.

 

[KatarinaMID]

Thanks goodness. I was hoping for a good first impression all around. If she knew that, it would've been a fight immediately.

 

[KatarinaMID]

I decided to rewrite my intro. Felt a little drab for my first post with you guys.

 

[Dusky]

'Tis a fine intro!

 

[KatarinaMID]

Thanks.

 

[KatarinaMID]

Light misunderstanding. Catalya only thought the 'Slave' thing, she didn't vocalize it.

 

[KamiKahzy]

Im amazed that in the past few hours we've had more posts than in the last few months.

 

[Grey]

Ah, sorry. Seemed like a thing she was likely to say. Maybe consider italicizing thoughts or at least keeping them out of quotation marks to limit the room for confusion.

 

[Teh Frixz]

shit shit shit mb

 

[KatarinaMID]

Alright I will next time. Sorry.

 

[AvidElmV2]

Is this open for others to join?

 

[Grey]

I think we might be full - Silvertongued'll know.


Meanwhile, this is open.

 

[KamiKahzy]

Think I found something everyone in here will get a laugh from.
