"The Bard class is hands down the most technical and complex class available in Forsaken World. Alongside regular spellcasting, the Bard class is home to a unique system known as the Measure. This measure can be populated with music notes that are generated through spellcasting both in and out of spellcasting.

As the measure begins to fill, special buffs are cast that are directly dependant on the order of notes generated. This means that anyone playing a Bard has more to worry about than just spamming their skills - they need to plan ahead to create the proper set of notes for the correct buff at just the right time."

Someone get crackin' on putting that into the FFRPG, or one of its bastard offspring.

If your level one ability is "I can heal people with magic," you might be a healer.

If your level one ability is "I make potions twice as good," you might be a healer.

If at some point you find yourself not doing as much damage as the guy with a sword, you might just be a healer.

If you notice that your job requires you to take the Healing skill, well you might be a healer.

If your job has a higher maximum for Spirit than for Strength, you might be a healer.

Have you ever noticed how some people will pick up a gun and shoot other people with it? Well just because you can do that instead of healing, doesn't mean you're not a healer. Odds are that if you want to do that, and you've put all your points into making your damage more awesome, that really you just might be a healer. Try it out.

[04:55] < Reisma> You know... in the FFRPG we could combined some of our skills together without much loss.
[04:56] < Reisma> Like take Climb and Swim and put them in some new skill. ... "Going Places"? :p
[04:56] * Amatsu-Sleep has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
[04:57] < Reisma> Riding and Animal Training probably could fit together without too much trouble. Being able to ride a Chocobo in 'easy' conditions would just be whatever the new skill is with a +60 or +80 bonus.
[04:58] < Reisma> Trade and Negotiation could be smushed into "Business" or something - people try to use Trade to negotiate anyway. -_-
[05:00] < Reinhart> Heh. ^^;;
[05:01] < Reinhart> You could use the 'Athletics' name for Climb/Swim like DnD 4.0 >.>;
[05:01] < Reisma> There we go! :p

[17:38] < Demonic_Gerbil> Oh god. Instead of Werewolves. Werequ. >.<
[17:40] < Demonic_Gerbil> You wake up one morning, after a night where Scorpio was in acendence, and your family is gone...
[17:41] < Demonic_Gerbil> But mmm... it smells someone has been BBQing for breakfast...
[17:43] < Demonic_Gerbil> This is either the best or most frightening monster idea I've had in a long time.
[17:43] < Reinhart> ....
[17:43] < Icecylee> D:
[17:44] < Icecylee> That's all kinda o horrible. Because not only did you kill them, but you took quiet awhile to get the spices juuuust right while cooking them before eating ;_;
[17:45] < Demonic_Gerbil> And you might have saved some leftovers for a midnight (morning) snack.
[17:46] < Icecylee> Open the fridge and there's a head sitting on a plate with an apple in it's mouth?
[17:46] < Demonic_Gerbil> Or a rack of ribs still in the oven. Or a couple chops or steaks on a plate...
[17:47] < Icecylee> hahah baby back ribs. >_O
[17:47] < Demonic_Gerbil> It's just like a Chili's commercial.
[17:48] < Icecylee> yuuup.
[17:48] < Demonic_Gerbil> The best part is that the guy wouldn't know he was a monster, because it would only manifest once a year...
[17:48] < Demonic_Gerbil> And the sheriff/cops might not have enough evidence to convict him of murder...
[17:49] < Demonic_Gerbil> ((Like a Qu is going to not eat the bones, and all the juices/drippings, right?))
[17:49] < Icecylee> Depends on how hungry he was. >.>

Just did a quick hack of the Bad Breath script and made one for Forbidden Dance and one for Nameless Song. Access them with !forbidden and !nameless respectively.

Based on EK's time travel game, I went to see how the character I'm working on would far communicating with Justin's science girl.

There's over 10,000 years of language change between them. Roughly a -330% penalty.

[05:22] * Reisma tries talking to justin's science person.
[05:22] < Reisma> -330 penalty!
[05:22] < Reisma> >.>
[05:23] < Reisma> !sugar
[05:23] < Sugarlips> Reisma, 1d100: 99 [Total: 99 (High), Avg: 99.00]
[05:23] < Reisma> :D
[05:23] < Reisma> Botched and failed by 279. >.>

Tonight I wrote a piece over in Returnerblog about my limited experience playing an Engineer - which all came from serigo's OLAD campaign this past night. It was quite a blast, and making inventions was pretty fun all on its own. I rather like the 'new' ICS post-Expert Revisions.

I also wrote another entry in my ORD Spotlight series in returnercon. This time I tackled "Optional Blue Magic."

[05:12] < Icecylee> And for some reason I can't stop associating Varg with Mexico, either...
[05:12] < Wade> Blame Elisha. :-p
