I have the same issue, except it's with Flirt and all of my "plus or minus to a stat" Arts (which is 3/4 of Bello's repertoire).

But we can sort this out if we actually end up dropping the numbers.

I suppose I'll play a little longer.

Not sure how long exactly, but I'd like to play out the part of the story I'm in at least. After that, I'll see how I feel about going on - leaning toward stopping right now, but I might change my mind.

As far as freeform versus numbers go, losing the numbers might help balance things. But there'd be other issues that come out of that - how to work magic and MP so mages don't totally outclass fighters, for instance - so it might end up being more work then just rebalancing things, since you�d probably need to resign the entire system.

But my general preference in this case is, "Its up to you Sah DM, I don't care."

I'm still up for playing! Go ahead and run the game in whatever way works for you, Ecurt I MEAN TRUCE.

Naqel · 02-06-2010, 08:10 PM

I dunno how it'd work without teh numbers. It was what got me in.

Arhra · 02-06-2010, 09:53 PM

Sure, I'd be fine with whatever you want to do Ecu- TRUCE.

I found myself making the same mistake Mauve did...

Nothing to say in my thread, so instead of writing "Keith followed the guard silently" I'm just gonna pass.

But yes, that is what Keith did. He's just following along silently. Probably at the back of the line - if you want more details.

HEY EVERYBODY!

YEAH!

Edit: Also, if the voice in Jal's head says we can't win, then we should probably retreat. On the other hand, Jal blocked Excalibur with a dagger, so maybe its corruption has weakened it. Group huddle, guys? Or should we just let Jade drag us all to our deaths?

Edit after reading the other groups: Aww, I want crystals! Maybe a Crystal Guitar? It's like an electric guitar, but with crystals. There's one in Crystal Bearers, you see. Plus, that whole "I can interface with ancient tech" Trait is just lying there being useless.

Bard The 5th LW · 02-07-2010, 10:10 PM

I say we stand and fight! Lets prove ourselves to not be as evil as the other groups may think!

We must go beyond the impossible and defeat him! For that is the Group 2 way!

Besides, we're already this far into it, going back now would make him even more hell-bent on killing us.

Well, as far as group huddle goes, Jade couldn't, rather, didn't hit him, so his evasion might be really high. Either that, or his Armour is so high that she can't hurt him. On the other hand, the electro marble, while it hit him, didn't seem to do HP damage, given that Truce's post didn't end with

Dark Lord: -X/??

so we don't know if that hurt him either. So we seem unable to hurt the guy. As for me, assuming he's undead, Bello would do more damage with his razor than by mimicing a Blizzard from Ralts. But, again, we have no indication that we can hurt him. From a purely meta-gaming perspective, we should totally run from this battle. However, that doesn't really fit most of our group's characters. So, yeah. We either die or let the LORD OF DARKNESS go free. Neither is particularly appealing.

Bard The 5th LW · 02-07-2010, 11:26 PM

Perhaps curing magic will hurt him? he is undead. I should have learned life, if I did we could have complete dungeon bypass, like the Phantom Train.

And I think that Truce may have left out damage from the post because he's swithching over to free form, which also fits with him not posting our distance from Ripel.
