Alright: there's already a cap on not having a single roll with a bonus greater than a +5. Now, for a character who depends a lot of a single Ability for his concept, I say a +5 is reasonable, a good example of that would be the Transformation ability.

That being said, the rulebook only go to discourage them, and I'm ruling that under those circumstances I applied, it would be allowed.

In that case I might want to shuffle something around or add a weakness, and bring Arcane up from 4 to 5 before the campaign begins.

Alright, just remember (everyone) that those weaknesses are supposed to come bite you later!

Gotcha! I don't think that rule applies to me, but I'm happy with it!

That's what I'm counting on to make things interesting!

What are you guys toughs on pvp? Given the setting it seems likely that player characters will get in each others hair at some point. How should we handle that?

we are students so some friendly rivalries and some barbs and pranks being thrown around seems natural, if your talking about actual combat... well the students in roasrio vampire literally spent the first like 10 chapters beating each other up so I think its fine

Thanks, @Dracostern and @tacokarp! I'm glad you like the name I chose.

It's settled then. My character is named Himeji Sumeryu. I am sure people will come up with all manner of nicknames and most of them will have "Su" in them. Maybe "Suryu." That's also a pun.

Hi @Aline!

Also hi, @SpeckTech. I think I forgot to say hi earlier. So hi!
Hi hi! Hello to everyone then :D

also PvP sounds fine. I don't expect it to happen often though, and hopefully it's with non-lethal intent >.<

I think something with lower stakes, possibly using the Gag Damage rules, should be fine if we can make sure this doesn't turn into 'spawn camping' of some sort where the weaker PC cannot do anything because of getting beaten up all the time. I.e. there should be some principle to not only avoid lethal outcomes, but also reduce repetition, especially if it's one-sided. I'm writing this because I think slapstick can grow into something less funny easily, whether through malice or misunderstanding.

so basically just follow the rule of: 'don't be a jerk'. sounds good to me

I brought up miscommunication because the rule does not help against that, heh.

PvP is fine if it makes narrative sense. Going and looking for it to be mean might fit a character, but that character would need to be taught a lesson pretty quickly.

We do have at least two characters with a strong motivation to protect those weaker than themselves, so somebody willing to make themselves into a villain, with a redemption arc, could be compelling. It should be discussed in advance with everyone potentially involved.

Alright, considering Aline's, BlondieDragonGenie's and Specktech's characters are practically done, having five approved characters, that makes 8! A good enough amount to start.

I'll be able to post later at night (4pm in here). To whoever with stuff left to do: don't panic! Many details won't be of great importance just at the start, you'll still have some time to tweak somethings.

Hey! Whoever didn't told me yep, could you tell me in what class your PC will be in?

So far, we got this:
1-A: BlondieDragonGenie
1-B: Dracoster, Tacokarp, Eltesla, Vicky

I won't force anyone, but it would be nice to have a bit more people in 1-A.

It'll work out! (Probably)

I can be the star of class 1-A and come to the rescue of class 1-B when they get into shenanigans!

And by "rescue" I mean "make it worse somehow."

Though don't worry I'm fairly sure the succubus at the very least will be joining class A
