[2009/11/04 18:14] Althalos Vaniva: to)
[2009/11/04 18:15] TriJin Bade: so… for melee
[2009/11/04 18:15] TriJin Bade: Ferocity defines the length of time you can sustain higher damage
[2009/11/04 18:16] TriJin Bade: Prowess defines the amount of damage and accuracy of melee swipes
[2009/11/04 18:16] TriJin Bade: Dexterity defines melee dodge defense
[2009/11/04 18:16] TriJin Bade: those basic ones will give good melee
[2009/11/04 18:17] TriJin Bade: if you want defensive…
[2009/11/04 18:17] TriJin Bade: Endurance defines how much armor and how much damage you can take
[2009/11/04 18:17] TriJin Bade: Dexterity is dodge
[2009/11/04 18:17] TriJin Bade: To mix in some magic spells….
[2009/11/04 18:17] Althalos Vaniva: It seems to me the premise of lycan, isnt really defensive, more so fast and strong.
[2009/11/04 18:18] TriJin Bade: Magic defines how much mana you can absorb from crystals… like regen
[2009/11/04 18:18] TriJin Bade: Intelligence defines the accurancy and chance of casting
[2009/11/04 18:18] Althalos Vaniva nods
[2009/11/04 18:19] Althalos Vaniva: I like the magician fighter, classic duo set up. Makes for a good balance
[2009/11/04 18:19] TriJin Bade: Strength will be important for melee as it defines how hard you can hit at a burst rate
[2009/11/04 18:19] TriJin Bade: if you are 100% strength, then you hit for 100%
[2009/11/04 18:19] TriJin Bade: 10%strength and you hit weaker
[2009/11/04 18:19] TriJin Bade: you get the picture
[2009/11/04 18:20] Althalos Vaniva: so str is how hard you can hit and ferocity how long you can suistain it
[2009/11/04 18:20] TriJin Bade: if you want to tank, then higher health is important to buffer damage
[2009/11/04 18:20] TriJin Bade: Prowess, Ferocity, Dexterity and strength is very important for melee

[2009/11/04 18:21] Annie Danitz: what?
[2009/11/04 18:22] Althalos Vaniva: You explained then accuratly, im just trying to determine myself which direction to take, Playing a gollum got very dry,
[2009/11/04 18:22] TriJin Bade: hmm, what is the purpose and alignment of your character?
[2009/11/04 18:22] Annie Danitz: me?
[2009/11/04 18:22] TriJin Bade: both
[2009/11/04 18:23] Althalos Vaniva: A magicians guardian, neutral-evil
[2009/11/04 18:23] TriJin Bade: for a guardian, you would favor melee with some magic
[2009/11/04 18:23] TriJin Bade: as a witch, i would favor lots of magic and endurance
[2009/11/04 18:24] TriJin Bade: as witch, you would damage just with spells and hardly melee
[2009/11/04 18:24] Althalos Vaniva: I love demon rp but they arent particulary strong on either side of things.
[2009/11/04 18:24] TriJin Bade: demon is an okay melee race mix.
[2009/11/04 18:25] Fidgette Aeon: welcome blayne have a seat
[2009/11/04 18:25] Althalos Vaniva: Lycan had astronomically better bonus`s.
[2009/11/04 18:25] TriJin Bade: it is important to have shields on though for all races/classes
[2009/11/04 18:25] TriJin Bade: always use Aura/Draba/IronArmor
[2009/11/04 18:26] TriJin Bade: blayne, when you get to level 15, you can aura/draba shield yourself
[2009/11/04 18:26] TriJin Bade: if you cant
[2009/11/04 18:26] TriJin Bade: then ask a magic user
[2009/11/04 18:26] TriJin Bade: they will be able to cast a shield on you
[2009/11/04 18:27] TriJin Bade: some may charge RP coins… depends on the RP
[2009/11/04 18:27] Annie Danitz: how long is the duration on protection spells? does it vary by level/int/endurance?
[2009/11/04 18:27] Althalos Vaniva: How exactly does profession play into things, like knight versus warrior.
[2009/11/04 18:27] Annie Danitz: or just level?
[2009/11/04 18:27] TriJin Bade: the duration depends on your Magic+Intelligence
[2009/11/04 18:28] Annie Danitz: ty
[2009/11/04 18:28] TriJin Bade: Level does take a factor, yes
[2009/11/04 18:28] Fidgette Aeon: purrrrs
[2009/11/04 18:28] TriJin Bade: there are many highly defensive spells… some good ones are Blind, Hobble, Disarm
[2009/11/04 18:29] TriJin Bade: Disarm is important for a witch as it stops melee
[2009/11/04 18:29] Annie Danitz: and gives me time to run like hell
[2009/11/04 18:29] TriJin Bade: it makes your attacker drop their weapons and causes them to hit with no damage
[2009/11/04 18:29] Fidgette Aeon: shivers giggling
[2009/11/04 18:30] TriJin Bade: so if they storm after you with sword a blazing… Disarm them
[2009/11/04 18:30] TriJin Bade: another brief defense is Levitate
[2009/11/04 18:30] TriJin Bade: it causes them to levitate for a moment… giving you time to escape
[2009/11/04 18:30] TriJin Bade: maybe drop a poison on them after
[2009/11/04 18:30] Annie Danitz: I’m all about escaping
[2009/11/04 18:31] Leigh Huet: depends on if I get pissed off or not
[2009/11/04 18:31] Annie Danitz: I have my RP reasons
[2009/11/04 18:31] TriJin Bade: also, an important thing in the forthcoming v24 meter….
[2009/11/04 18:31] Leigh Huet: smirks, “so do I”
[2009/11/04 18:31] Annie Danitz smiles
[2009/11/04 18:31] TriJin Bade: range attacks….
[2009/11/04 18:32] TriJin Bade: targetting the head does more damage
[2009/11/04 18:32] TriJin Bade: also, a headshot may cause Blindness
[2009/11/04 18:32] TriJin Bade: a shot to the legs may cause the LegBreak effect… rendering them to move slower
[2009/11/04 18:32] Althalos Vaniva: Nice
[2009/11/04 18:33] TriJin Bade: most pure magic users tend to use range weps
[2009/11/04 18:33] Althalos Vaniva: How do professions affect things exactly? is it just rp, or would there be a distinction between a knight and warrior.
[2009/11/04 18:33] TriJin Bade: at the moment, professions dont affect any stats
[2009/11/04 18:33] TriJin Bade: … yet
[2009/11/04 18:34] TriJin Bade: it is purely for RP purposes
It had been an eventful evening. It started when a young succubus ventured into the Dark Abyss, wanting a peek at the face of the Dark Lord. Having heard the stories of him, her curiosity had gotten the best of her. Upon arriving, she found no one home and proceeded to make herself comfortable upon the Throne of the Unnamed. Playfully she handled the carvings and objects, many of which were made of skulls and bones when unexpectedly a noise echoed from an adjoining room scaring her from her perch. 
As she fled the Abyss and was running back to the safety of her home on TornOak, she took a wrong turn and ended up in the drink, nearly drowning in the River Thames. As she pulled herself up and onto the shore, she crawled across a corpse that had washed ashore, a decayed dark skeleton. The only skin that remained on the body appeared to be badly scarred. Strangely the skin doesn’t look as if the water had rotten away the flesh, but something else. There are torn remnants of a dark black cloak wrapped around some of the limbs. Not tied but it appeared this was the persons clothing. There is a glint of silver embedded on the end of the limb that is the arm, but there is no hand. Looking at the silver object, it appears to be a bracelet withthe letter “V” inscribed in it. The bracelet seems to be moulded to the arm as there is no obvious way to get it off the body.
She looked intensely at the body then her face lit with recognition as she was sure this was why the Throne of the Dark Abyss had been unoccupied. She ran through the town screaming that the Dark Lord was dead, quite sure everyone would celebrate, she was taken aback when the opposite in fact had occurred. Not only was there a lack of celebration, but there were those who refused to believe that it could be true.
The body was removed to the morgue where an autopsy was preformed. Nothing conclusive was found other than a piece of jewelry with the letter ‘V’ inscribed on it. The bracelet was examined and found to be inscripted with the family emblem of the Vendae. Leigh Huet, daughter of the Dark Lord remained adamant that though all evidence pointed to the fact that the Dark Lord was indeed dead, he was very much ‘undead’ and took the bracelet with her back to the cafe where she placed it in a safe until she could decide to whom it did belong.
Meanwhile, the body had disintegrated upon the removal of the bracelet leaving nothing but so much mud and slime on the autopsy table. With every indication other than the emotional hopes of a daughter to indicate that the corpse was indeed that of the Dark Lord….could it be true?..Could the Dark Lord indeed be dead?
Among the dark woods not too far from the ghostly train station there is a small lake.
Upon the banks of the lake there are gnarled and knotted trees.
Amongst the roots of one of the trees and sitting upon a rock, fireflies dance about in a bottle…
… a bottle that perhaps holds a clue to the nature of what lies around you.
