Welcome @DaChiefPI
This thread is for your character creation. Take a look at welcome and character creation.

If you have any questions you can post them here or if you think they are general on the Q&A

I think the character is ready.

Looks good. I will add some details to your traits, Precognitive has been popular and I think I have a basic framework for it that works well.
There hat will let you have advantage on a single performance when using it's once a day power. The beginning items are not there to enhance any abilities, just add flavor. More powerful items are available as you adventure.
I will review your character bio and work you into the story. It will likely be in the city of Gamulur thread.

I can certainly provide a lot more detail, as far as a background and bio. I really didn't know where to put it and didn't know if I put it in the wrong place if it might be visible to other players and you might not prefer that.
May 23, 2023 4:18 pm
Your sheet is private to you and me. I just need to read and have time to work you into the story
I will let you know if I want more input, thanks

I have a couple ideas on precognition.

A Each day roll 3d6 and record the results. These rolls can replace any other roll throughout the day.
B Once per day you can rewind time one minute and you and your allies retain all knowledge of this event.

Which wild you prefer?
A is what I used last time. I have another player who has the Divination trait and he had option A but only with 2 rolls. So I thought up another variant that can be useful but hopefully not too OP

Wow, option B sounds crazy fun. A redo, could be invaluable... If for no other reason, than I've never seen it before, let's take Option B.
May 24, 2023 11:47 am
Yeah it should be interesting. Just make sure you don't need it 90 seconds later (Mwahahahahahaaaaa 👿 evil laugh)

It is common for character to each have their own avatar, added by editing the character sheet, pencil icon top right of the page, and selecting Change Avatar. When you speak, "Post As", in character it will use the character avatar.

When you are ready let me know where you would like to join. At this time we have 4 options
A: The Wagon Train - This requires 2 newcomers to pair up
B: The Tunnels - Where you join a couple of fellow adventurers in the midst of a dungeon crawl. These guys keep it moving with 1-3 posts a day 5 days a week
C: The city of Gamulur - Join another newcomer in a thread that focuses more on intrigue and social interactions
D: The Library - Joining the longest standing players exploring an ancient library. This thread tends to be a bit slower with 1-3 posts a week
May 24, 2023 4:34 pm
So I like the idea of 1 to 3 post per day. That excludes option D from my preferences and brings B to the surface...

If you prefer that I pair up with another newcomer, and you are confident that the other newcomer can probably maintain 1 to 3 post per day, and I'm fine joining anything you need, and putting me where you need me the most.

I don't recall if I told you, but I'm traveling today about 8 hours from Florida to Tennessee, only to turn around and do another 8 hours back. I'll be stopping every few hours to get gas, etc and that's when I'll post. Matter of fact I'll be looking forward to the break in the drive. Just wanted to know why there might be big gaps in my responses.
May 27, 2023 4:06 pm
No worries I just wanted everyone to get a chance to post before moving on.
May 27, 2023 5:14 pm
OOC:
Okay. Just be sure and let me know which thread, you point me into, especially if it's one of the existing ones. I'm not following any of those... And we'll probably only follow the one you put me in
May 27, 2023 6:19 pm
Sorry, I tagged you in the wagon thread and forgot to put a link here.

When you are taken it adds a link to the home page if your are lined in

OK I may want to tweak your ability a bit as playing through this scene made me realize just ho a full minute rewind is really powerful. Admittedly I threw you guys into the deep end with the krakens. This ability should be useful but not too OP. I think this can be a fun mechanic but don't want it to override all negative consequences. This game system is highly flexible but I think I bent it too far with this trait.

I am thinking of making it dependent on dice rolls but allowing it to accumulate. I will let you keep it as is while moving the group on. Think about it and let me know if you have any ideas on how to keep it fun but still have risk in the game.

Precognition : see character sheet for variant that may be used in the future

I moved the scene then used your power to save everyone's lives. Kind of a test run.

I will leave it to you from here on and see if it works out needs adjusting

OOC:
Okay. How about this. it starts small and builds. Assuming a turn is 6 seconds in this system. Then it builds up 6 seconds per day, plus there is a 1d6 add on. so the longer it doesn't get used, it builds up.

Day one, 6 seconds
Day two 6+1d6
Day three 6+2d6
with a max of 60.... Any roll over that is just 60.

You might also consoder it going longer, but outside of combat. Once a fight begins, the stress is so high, that it's limited to 60 seconds.

OOC:
Ooh. He probably shouldn't know how far it's going to roll back either. Sure, as a example... I will know that I have 6 seconds plus 5d6, because I haven't used it for that many days. But the character must commit to using it, before they roll. Then it may roll back far enough to be at a point that History changes itself, or it may not. Either way the ability has been exercised and the power is spent. That might add a fun random element to the results.

I'm taking the family to an arcade/ bowling Alley today...., so my participation may be a little sporadic for the next half day. I'll keep checking on things, but it won't be as often as usual.
I think I will opt for a weapon mastery, with ranged weapons. Perhaps he can have a short bow or light crossbow?

If not then just weapon mastery with his short sword.
