Should this go under rulings? I DON'T GIVE A FUCK, NYUKKA, dis mah lilypad…
SO. Sosososososo. Welcome to the second half, and my promised sandboxing! Are you enjoying yourself? Have you had a chance to start? If not, don't worry: we gots time, as far as I know, so by all means dig in either Saturday or Monday. Hell, y'never know: we might fit ya in if it's a day yer not normally supposed to RP, but either way an audience is always welcome.
So, here's what I'm workin' on…the whole goddamned site. Got two more martial arts updated, and I've got a few new rulings to simply throw out there…
Remember, if I haven't gotten to your jorb or martial art or faith or whatever, LET ME KNOW! The worst that'll happen is that I'll tell you exactly where it falls on teh list of priorities: this is alot of work, even WITH help from IRL Choucho.
Speakin' of which, everyone welcome my newest assistant: IRL Choucho! At some point in time I'll simply dictate and send it to her via my DVR, makin' things easier in the long run…and allowing me more time to RP.
Er, anyway, that's the way it's SUPPOSED to work…we'll see. :3
In the meantime, let's see to these updated rulings, yesh?
On Jobs
SO, sosososo…you can only have five jobs, ultimately. UNLESS stated otherwise, you can have a maximum of five jobs, and the spread goes as follows:
2 normal jobs
2 prestige jobs
1 uber job
Please keep in mind also that either one pretige job cannot be higher than the two normal jobs combined. Same with the uber job: it cannot be higher than the combined levels of two prestige jobs or two normal jobs.
RARELY is there an exception to this, but if so it'll pro'lly follow along the lines of "Granted by GM, cannot level normally unless via GM or item-based upgrade" or…well, really, that's the only raisin.
So there you have it! If you DO wish for an exception, talk it over with the GM.
Spell Creation rulings/Spells beyond level 9th
Simply take one level number higher, then square it. That's the ep cost each time to cast the spell.
Generalized spellcraft DC check -
Level 10 DC 30
Level 11 DC 50
Level 12 DC 75
Level 13 DC 100
Caps
In Chapter 7 and beyond there are skill caps, gnosis caps, and other noteworthy caps. For now, here's a generalized table:
Skills
Chapter 7 150
Chapter 9 300
Chapter 11 Derp
Gnosis
Chapter 7 300
Chapter 9 500
Chapter 11 Derp
So, what DOES that mean? This means that all Miscellaneous bonuses that boost your stuff up to a OMFG level will actually do nothing once you hit that maximum…BUT, should you figure out means to temporarily break caps, then they'll come into play. This is especially important the further towards the end we get, so don't forget to keep track of all numbers and percentage totals!
At 50, a person is considered a genius of their particular area. 100? You're a worldwide-level genius, bar none, certainly top ten of the entire world. Beyond that, it reflects the insane amount of knowledge and expertise you've gained in that area…and makes you a dimension-wide noteable.
In a game like this, that's not inexactly the best of things, y'know?
Just somethin' to think about…
Dice Offs to determine strength of negation and "works even when negated."
So, Player A has an ability that works even when negated. Player 1 has an ability that negates abilities, even when they're supposed to work when negated. How do we determine which is currently stronger?
Easy: both Players roll a single d20. Highest roll wins.
Simple, eh? No bonuses, no blah, no whatever. Just 1d20 versus 1d20, no crits or crit-fail, highest roll wins.
You're welcome.
Vehicle System
Each vehicle frame has a certain number of points that may be applied, and the base cost of each vehicle is based on that point max. A 20-50 vehicle would be an average type sedan or bike with a lower end make (Ford, etc at level 20; BMW, etc at level 50). A 50-100 vehicle would be a very high end or armored vehicle from a more expensive maker, and extremely hard to come by. 100+ vehicles are magical in nature or special ordered from special makers.
Upgrades improve the vehicle's overall performance or stats and costs vary depending on the type of the upgrade. How many points an upgrade takes up varying points levels. For instance, an overall speed upgrade of 50mph costs 10 upgrade points, while an Acceleration boost may cost anywhere from 5-15 points.
SO, there you have it! Be seein' y'all either Saturday or Monday evenin', eh?
Sincerely,
The Ever-Luvin' J Himself.
