AaAhhhh i didn’t see the post (I need to you quote or ping me, or I won’t see it…) So: 1st. Make a character according to the sheet. Filled out sheets (it’s a loose thing) are in my first post, so you can look at that. 2nd. You get a choice from 3 powers. 3rd. You’ll actually get a second choice b’fore long. But that’s ‘sides the point. Actual combat: All players go at once, and they get 3 energy to perform actions. Besides your chosen powers, you have one of two actions available. Attack: 1 Energy, normal damage. Block: 2 Energy, moderate block. You can reuse any action as long as you have the energy, unless the action is an “imbue” action. Imbue actions can only be used once per combat, but last for the rest of combat. After player turns, I resolve all enemy action, then it’s player turns again. yippee! We’re just waiting for everyone to reply before we start Edited May 1 by Through the Living Sherma

What’s the worldbuilding like? 1. I do all the numbers. I might post an index for conversions if anyone’s curious, but I’m hoping to avoid the hassle for players that often comes with TTRPG 2. I have pretty much all notif settings off. I follow like 70 people, and everything I post on… 3. What’s been revealed so far is that the major government/organization in the local area is a set of crusaders/inquisitors that follow some sort of Serpent King. You’ve (probably) been branded by these knights as a heretic, and forced to walk the Pilgrimage. You are traveling through the Blight to the final destination of the Pilgrimage. Upon entering the Blight, a voice promised you something to entice you to stay on the Pilgrimage. For example, one person’s was that they would be able to talk to their family one more time (who had passed) @Verdance: I need a character from you! Edited May 1 by Through the Living Sherma 1

Choice: Spoiler Dominance: Ectoplasmic Construct When you use Vital Breath, you gain access to the following actions for the rest of Combat Siphon: 2 Energy. Attacks do less damage, but Specter gives increased Block. This lasts until the end of combat. (But can be replayed.) Specter: 1 Energy, low block. (When I finished that one I immediately thought CLAW IS LAW) (claw is a card in StS that increases in damage every time you play it.) (no questions) Self-Mastery: Deep Breath After using Vital Breath, gain one more energy at the beginning of your turn. Instinct: Anaerobics Vital Breath is free to play. 8 hours ago, Katalri_105 said: Quince slowly followed, keeping her distance.
