Final Fantasy - 5d6cussion

Alright, that makes sense. Adjusted my sheet in accordance. I also finished talking with Truce and have changed weapons. Stickin' with the purple wings/deely-bopper, though, as POS said that part wasn't the problem. And purple fur just sounds kinda overboard/gaudy.

I liked it better when there weren't many job abilities that I wanted. =>_>=

Good move. Plus combining it with red or orange on wings and pompom like Naqel suggested? Ew ew ew ew ew.

Anyway, thanks a bunch. I know I've been a real pain in the ass on this.

Found an "appropriate" picture of what I kinda envisioned my dragon companion to kinda look like at this point. Just don't think of Jugan as having that much spikes or developed wings as a relatively new-born!

Jugan's Appearance

EDIT: Also, ignore the bracelets in the picture. Pulled the pic out from a game and those bracelets were equipments.

Screw Evoir! Ralts wants in on the action! And either way, Ralts should get some backup from Vit and Jal who are at the library, barring the absence of Bello and Jade.

And I've imagined Jugan up to this point to be like a something of reptilian puppy with scraggly wings that stands on two legs.

I said Jugan would KINDA look like the pic. He's still very rather young, so less spikes, wings, and a more overall cuteness. :3

So, when doing some probabilities for the likelihood of hitting with various EVAs and ACCs, and also for getting criticals, I noticed a certain aspect of using 2d6: the bell curve.

Example02 - 1/36 = 2.78%
03 - 2/36 = 5.56%
04 - 3/36 = 8.33%
05 - 4/36 = 11.11%
06 - 5/36 = 13.89%
07 - 6/36 = 16.67%
08 - 5/36 = 13.89%
09 - 4/36 = 11.11%
10 - 3/36 = 8.33%
11 - 2/36 = 5.56%
12 - 1/36 = 2.78%

I find this system preferable to the d20's 5% for every value, actually... (Mid-range opens up fairly well and you're about half as likely as getting a crit fail to screw you over) However, I did find an example of the creator(s) Not Doing the Research. To quote the book: "A 25% chance is 9 or more on 2d6, a 50% chance is 7 or more, and a 75% chance is 5 or more."

Um, no.

Actual PercentagesPercentage of rolling a 9 or higher:
11.11% + 8.33% + 5.56% + 2.78% = 27.78%

Percentage of rolling a 7 or higher:
16.67% + 13.89% + 11.11% + 8.33% + 5.56% + 2.78% = 58.34%

Percentage of rolling a 5 or higher:
16.67% + 13.89% + 11.11% + 8.33% + 5.56% + 2.78% + 11.11% + 13.89% = 83.34%

So, I'd avise using something else to determine such percentages. There might be more examples of something similar in the book, too. I also though that the percentage-y stuffs might be found useful, somehow. Just a kinds of heads-up? Or something?

[Menarker]

Oh, and one last advice for our prospective dark knight. Keep in mind that some spells have requirements on what spells you have chosen already. Like you can't learn Scathe until you learned Scourge which likewise comes from Twilight. Poison leads to Bio and so on and so forth.

[Truce]

Sorry for the delay. Classes are starting up again soon, so I've been getting prepared for them. I'll probably be able to post on the weekend, but I probably won't be able to post before then. I'll create a new discussion thread at that time too.

For Lore - just add an extra line in the sheet for it; I apologize for missing it the first time through, but an edit like that should fix it.

[POS Industries]

Yeah, I too have been a bit wrapped up in things lately. I'll get a post done soonish but I'll need to confer with Truce first.

Sorry about taking so long to reply. Every time I sat down to write a post, my brain just went "DURRRRRRRR!"
