Ponysona 4, creation, OOC and Sign Up

Ah, cool.

It might not sound good right now, but let's just say you'll thank Xel for it later.

Not being a smartass, just saying. And tanking is useful. Now just coming up with flavor text for it. Probably just going to go with a badge or earring for that front, though.

Yeah that's nice... But... Um... WHAT I PUT ON MY SHEET? I don't like trying to make up stuff on the fly... >.>

For all the new cool stuff. I'd enjoy a list of new items to add to the sheet please?

Oh! Sorry, I misunderstood. Thought you meant equipment

The gems are Zio Gem, Agi Gem, Bufu Gem, Garu Gem, Hama Gem, and Mudo Gem. (two Hama and Agis) spread out between the 4 who went into the combat.

And the resist 1 item is "Element Guard- (Accessory Slot Description)"

I'm more trying to ask from you something like this:

Oversized Sword - 1500 Gold
Weapon
You may use the following combat talent.

[-4] Not Compensating For Something - Standard Attack
Deal 1d20+1d12 damage to target creature. If you roll a 19-20 on your d20, you may activate all three of your Special Move Features.

When you're giving me just random info like this:

1d20+1d12 damage, -4 pips, Name: Oversized Sword, Also: If you roll a 19-20 on your d20, you may activate all three of your Special Move Features. And it's a standard action to use.

Sure I'm getting all the info I'm asking for, but I'm wanting it ordered into something logical for me to see at a glance how to work my new items... I think this is has been something you've done with like ALL the items you've given us... It's a minor issue, but I'm now unsure how to formant the new stuff cause all I've got is random info that just feels like random info about an item.

I forgot which gems I have... also, what did you guys settle on them doing?

Edit: Xel, I figure they're probably gonna look something like this:

X Gem
Weapon Enhancement
You may do X whatever something something when you make an attack.

Elemental Guard
Trinket
Resist All Elements 1

Edit 2: Wait, dangit. I got the gems confused with our weapon upgrades. *sigh*

Ah, I see. Sorry!

Agi Gem
1 use
You may use the following combat talent.

[0] Agi - Minor Attack
Deal 1d8 Fire damage to one enemy.

Like that? Same goes for the other gems, just instead of Agi you have the other spell, and Fire the alignment.

And we decided on the last thing for elemental usage, and your weapons dealing a flat 3 damage if you so choose.

The accessory item'd be, for Zeela...
Elemental Guard (Shoes)
Accessory
Resist 1 to any elemental damage

The gems are 1 use ever or 1 per battle?

Ever, since you're getting quite a few of those. and instead of each of you having them individually, they're going to be shared inventory.

Ok, how much can we sell them for?

Oh right, could you clarify a bit on how the temp Persona's function (as per game mechanics, basically what we should be putting on our sheets)?

Yeah, I've gotten it written down, but no clue how it's actually gonna work...Is it a summon? Extra combat talents?

Temp Personas are extra combat talents, just flavored by summoning the personas.

And the gems are /really/ cheap pricewise- 30 bits selling price? They're mostly to use to abuse elemental weaknesses.

You know if we're going to have a /shared/ invotory, we should make a google doc that houses all the shared items or something..

I was actually asking more about what they actually did in combat, though knowing how they're used is nice too.

Oh, the personas do the spells. Mostly they're just flavor, and another set of combat skills once you get your full personas, and not just temporary ones. right now, they're just 2 spells max, but your Full personas get more as you all get stronger.

Google Doc for the inventory.

You forgot to add what those items... You know, do for us? And wasn't there one item that did 1d6 element damage AOE to "all enemies" (somehting that's not really in this system cause it's so OP...)

I put those underneath the lists, but I should be clearer, right. And I think that elemental damage to all enemies was because you used 'Arcing bolt' on three enemies, hitting all of them with the bonus element damage.

Coolio, now just give us a list of what are Tempsona's powers are (in the standard forant of course) then I think we'll be set. :3

Tweaked the personas for balance and fairness. Melody's -3 was extremely powerful (Sorry) and I spread the elemental damage around more. Too much Hama, not enough Garu or Zio.

But Marin Karin!

Nah, fair enough. I'll have plenty of time to mind-crush enemies after I get my actual persona.

I know Marin Karin is good. That's why I need to save it for your actual persona.

I think most of those persona moves are a bit on the weak side. Even using them on the right target gets us 2d8 damage for -1 pip and a standard action, we could probably do better things with our pips/turns. Dia is similarly too weak for the cost.

Poisoma seems decent. Tarunda is pretty good. Rakunda is decent.

Edit: You might want to let us try to create moves instead, that way we'll get things that will work with our combat builds and not be bonus options that we never really use.

The first level spells are sort of weak, but then'll get stronger and stronger. Like the next level would be a -1 1d8 element to all enemies, then a -2 2d10 to one enemy etc etc. Right now, they're sort of weak but when you strengthen them, or strengthen your normal personas, they'll be VERY strong.

*shrug* Strength doesn't mean we're going to end up with things that work for our characters the way we want them to work though.
