OOC Thread

Numbers are just a general indication of one's abilities. Iskar's character was already described someone focused on speed. To that, note that he has 1 WP and 1 Sk. It really doesn't matter much if his Speed is 3 or 4: it is obvious that anything he tries that has to do with agility will be easier - he is the third most agile human in Pendor (behind Mordred and Caranthir only). I'd leave 4, though, just to keep the edge against fast but not-as-fast characters. As I'm repeatedly trying to say, roleplay and coherence will be more important than your numbers.

Two characters may have both e.g. 3 Skill. But even if they attempt the same thing, bonuses and penalties will be assigned differently to them, so as to accord with their character's descriptions.

Lastly, let me try to show you how I picture things:

farmer
WP 1
Sp -5
Sk -5

Pendor recruit
WP 1
Sp -4
Sk -3

Empire legionnaire
WP 1
Sp 0
Sk 0

Ravenstern ranger
WP 1
Sp 1
Sk -1

Fierds huskarl
WP 1
Sp 0
Sk 1

Scorpion Assassin
WP 1
Sp 2
Sk 1

D'Shar Blademaster
WP 2
Sp 1
Sk 1

Those are my stats, if we are to post these here.

More besides, there are some warriors out there that can match some Noldor in skill, so 4 could be a better representative of human skill's extent instead of 3.

I've gotten too caught up on the numbers I know. I'm sure once my turn in the Arena comes around and I see more of how it's really handled, I'll obsess less.

I'll solve that. Expect a tavern post soon.

I'll probably end up dropping Renault's speed by 1 further. Fairly pleased by his stats otherwise.

Can't wait to get into some duels with people.

I'd suggest a joust against Jareth Meraxes.

Renault vs Ana?

I'll duel Ana (and anyone else. 4 Vs the cripple anyone?) but I'm not sure how to go about setting this sort of thing up.

Would Boar's stats be more reasonable with;

WP : 4 (He is tough, even for a Dragon. It is meant to be exceptional)
SP : 0 (His bulk makes him slow, but he is by no means clumsy)
SK : 1 (He uses his strength in battle more than skill, however he still meets the requirements to be a Dragon Knight.)

Before they were;
WP : 4
SP : 1
SK : 1 (2 with 2handed / offensive shields)

Also if we're doing a team event i'd be happy to join a side. Boar and Renault would work well together, having already been working together at Javiksholm. How many members are needed? Do we decide, or will the GM create teams for balance purposes?

I would be fine with Renault and Boar vs Ana and ???


It would be interesting to have another fast character instead of trying to balance Ana's side. Renault and Boar have experience/skill and size, so the only thing missing from the fight is speed! Perhaps a Silvermist or Legionnaire?

Maybe Varys? A Dawn-Eventide team building exercise, and he is quite a speedy character. It'll make for excellent RP considering they hate each other (I think?) I'm considering of dropping his skill to make up for the speed that I gave him, as I don't want him to be overpowered.

A cripple and a giant vs Fanatical Dawnite and Heretic.

It's almost perfect, let's do it!

Coming up next: Griffon and Legionnaire vs Silvermist and Gauntlet!

Aelos is looking for opponent in the melee.

This squire is itching for a fight after serving Sir Kamos the entire time during the joust.

Jareth Meraxes would be pleased to test his skill against the Squire of Sir Kamos. If he is only half the fighter of Sir Kamos the training will be worth it. =)

Awesome But I have to warn you, he is there to win his knighthood and won't stop for anyone. (or something like that)

Even though it might a bit embarrassing to loose a against a mere Squire, I will still take this challenge.

How do we procede?

wait for Saeros to start

I can't possible joust. (I hope you knew I was talking about the melee)

I'm ready for the melee whenever it does start personally.

Also I adjusted my stats in the main thread for it. Dropped my speed since I can't justify above average speed.
I also split my stats between "Raw" abilities and my "Lorewise" skills. That way there technically isn't any defined mathematical bonuses but just something to keep in mind for the GM if he thinks I'm displaying such skills right.

I feel a bit weak with 5 points now though .

Yep I knew that. I'm eager for both...

Good, I really hope that more people will want to joust I need three more!!

I'll fight in the melee too, Savan's not exactly a squire but he's not a knight yet, so this could also be for his knighthood.

Brand Eisenmüll is hilarious

And does the Amalan Tourist have a luggage?

I meant Mühl, but what's done is done

Yes, and he's sewn flags from every country throught which he travelled. And he gives 15% tip.
