    149 KB The Legend of Zelda RPG - Thread #15 Anonymous 06/26/11(Sun)20:24 No.15396589  
    Last time on the LoZ RPG creation project: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/15375622/
    Wiki page: http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Legend_of_Zelda_RPG
    >The wiki is the more or less official compilation of the system rules as they become finalized. There are some things missing, and some outdated things that may need updated, but please read it first if you're new to these threads, or if you haven't been around for awhile. Please don't ask for explanations of things that are already explained in the wiki.

    >Quick summary
    3 Virtues: Power, Wisdom, Courage
    3 Attributes: Physical, Mental, Spiritual
    Some skills, mostly item-based in keeping with Zelda themes.
    A number of techniques/abilities, which are purchased a-la-carte with XP. Most of them will be tied to a specific skill, requiring a certain number of ranks in that skill to learn.

    The system uses a d6 roll & keep system, using linear comparison for opposed checks. This means that you roll X six-sided dice (with X = your ranks in the relevant Attribute + 1 for each odd-numbered rank in the relevant skill) and only use the Y highest rolls (with Y = your ranks in the relevant Virtue + 1 for each even-numbered skill rank) -- expressed in shorthand as XkY. Linear comparison means that in the case of a contested roll (such as in combat) you compare your highest roll to your opponent's highest, your second highest to their second highest, and so forth. If one party in the contest has more kept dice than the opponent, the extra dice are automatic successes.

    Unopposed rolls are compared to a fixed success threshold, with a certain number of successes required to accomplish the intended task. For example, pushing a heavy block might require 2 successes, with success defined as a die showing 4 or greater; in this case, you'd roll Physical and keep Power.

    Character advancement is free-form, with XP investment improving skills and attributes. Virtues are extremely difficult to improve, and shouldn't change much over the course of a typical game. Techniques range from new combat moves (such as the jump attack and sword beam) to unique racial talents (zora creating an electrical field) and passive abilities (being able to walk across shifting sand unhindered). Most techniques have a skill or virtue prerequisite before they can be purchased. Certain races may recieve XP discounts or lower prerequisites for certain techniques.

    Core races consist of Deku Scrub, Goron, Kokiri, Korok, Rito, Twili, Zora, Hylian, Gerudo and Sheikah, with more under discussion. Each race gets a couple nifty abilities (eg, Gorons can curl into a ball and roll around, Zora can breathe underwater, and so forth). Humans (which include Hylians, Gerudo and Sheikah) instead get a +1 to the Virtue of their choice (though this can't be applied to put any Virtue over the usual starting limit of 4), and get discounts on certain techniques associated with their race. No other races get any bonuses to Virtues. Each race also has a Mass score, which affects movement speed, getting knocked/pushed around, use of the hookshot/clawshot, and so forth.

    Damage is measured in hearts, and can be dealt in fractions of up to 1/4 heart. Your character has hearts equal to 2 + Physical, making the minimum number of hearts 3. Hearts can be increased by increasing your Physical value, and by obtaining Pieces of Heart and Heart Containers, which will be distributed as rewards for beating bosses and tough puzzles and the like.

    Magic spells and items use Magic Power (with a basic attack spell using 2MP.) The Magic Meter is divided into blocks, each with 6MP. Starting MP is equal to 6 x your Mental value, or one block per Mental. Additional blocks can be aquired by improving your mental score and as rewards (like Heart Containers)

    >Shit that needs done:

    Techniques: We need more, particularly for skills other than |melee|.

    Magic: We have rough drafts of the mechanics for most of the magic from the video games, but they need some revising, and we should probably come up with some homebrewed stuff to completely flesh out the list. I'll post the current drafts

    Starting gear: The plan currently is to allow players to pick three items of their choice to start with, but we need to decide what is and isn't appropriate for a starting character. And speaking of gear...

    Special items: We have statlines for basic weapons and armor on the wiki, but not much for the more exotic items like the hookshot, spinner, and so forth.

    And I'm sure there's more, but this should be good to kickstart the new thread.

    The stats for magic would take several posts to state here, so I've uploaded them to a .txt file. These are copy-pasted directly from thread 7, where they were originally proposed, and could definitely use some revision.

    I think so, yes.

    On a related note, this was posted in the old thread after it went autosage:

    >How would anybody be aver be able to melee sneak attack. It seems to me that the way stealth skill is now it is not posible to create a melee character capable of sneak attacking without the use of flash bomb vanish tech. Last time i checked the stealth write up allowed to make a sneak attack for the next atk you made after stealthing, you would los hidden but you could make a sneak attack, but now you cant, it irks me to think that just ranged characters will be able to sneak attack.

    It appears that this concern is due to an ambiguity in the stealth rules as stated on the wiki. The problem line is probably:

    >Not every action may allow you to remain hidden -- for example, moving out into the open will obviously give you away, as will shouting, setting off a bomb, and so forth.

    Simply put, the wiki isn't very clear on exactly what disqualifies you from staying hidden. As the one who wrote that draft, my point was that you can't go prancing about in front of the enemy's face and get a sneak attack because you made a good |stealth| roll. However, it doesn't mean you must stay behind cover at all times -- you can sneak up behind the enemy, even if it would expose you to others. You can be hidden from one creature but not others.
    Sorry for not being clear enough with that, I just figured it would be common sense.

    Here's what I've got for XP costs for the current techniques. I changed a few of them because there was a bit of peculiarity on the shield techniques, and a lot of techniques didn't list any check. I didn't think automatic effects were where we wanted to go for Techiniques. Here we go:

    ---Racial Techniques---
    Deku Bubble (Active)
    Requirements: Deku Scrub
    XP Cost: 3
    Actions: X
    MP Cost: X
    This Deku may spend X actions to fire one bubble with the Stun property from his "nose" at a single target. For each action spent, the Deku spends 1 magic point and adds 1/4 heart to the damage increment and 10 metres to the range. The maximum number of actions a Deku can spend on this techniques is equal to their Power, and the attack is made as the final action of the technique.

    Goron Spikes (Active)
    Requirements: Goron
    XP Cost: 3
    Actions: 2
    MP Cost: 2 Sustained
    Goron may spend 1 turn in rolled-up form to generate magical Spikes with a 1/2 Damage increment; each turn this is active, the Goron spends 2 Magic Points. If the Goron leaves the ball form or comes to a stop, they must spend an additional turn to "regrow" them.
    >> Your Friendly Neighborhood DM 06/26/11(Sun)20:58 No.15396833
    >>15396826
    Goron Might (Passive)
    Requirements: Goron, Brawler technique
    XP Cost: 3
    Your unarmed attacks do 3/4H damage, and you can choose to do fire damage.
    Bladed fins (Passive)
    Requirements: Zora, Brawler technique
    XP Cost: 3
    Your unarmed attacks gain the Edged property. In addition, as a Single Action you can make a Ranged/Wisdom attack using the damage of your unarmed attack damage with a range of 10. It takes another Single Action to retrieve your fins, and you cannot attack until your fins return.
    Lightning Shield (Active)
    Requirements: Zora
    XP Cost: 4
    Actions: 2+
    MP Cost: 2 Sustained
    This Zora may exude an aura that hits every creature within 2 meters in water for 1/2 heart of electrical damage. This technique requires an action to activate as well as an action to deactivate (the attack takes effect during both of these actions). This costs 2 points of magic and may be sustained for an additional 2 points of magic per turn. No other actions may be taken while this technique is being sustained. This ability may only be used in water.
    Sustained Flight (Active)
    Requirements: Rito
    XP Cost: 3
    Actions: 1
    This Rito may attempt to stay in the air as a move action by making a Physical Power check.
    >> Your Friendly Neighborhood DM 06/26/11(Sun)20:59 No.15396844
    ---Weapon Techniques---
    Back Slice (Active)
    Requirements: |Acrobatics| 2, |Melee| 1
    XP Cost: 2
    Actions: 1
    You quickly tumble around your opponent to find a hole in his defense and strike. You may move to another space adjacent to the enemy and make an |Acrobatics|(Wisdom) check as an Attack action. Your target suffers a -1k1 penalty to his defense roll against this attack.

    Reaction Back Slice (Active)
    Requirement: Back Slice
    XP Cost: 3
    Actions: 1
    You can use a Single Action to prepare yourself for an incoming attack. The next time you are attacked, you can make an |Acrobatics|(Wisdom) check against the incoming attack. If you beat your attacker, you can immediately move to another space adjacent to the enemy and make an attack against him, and he suffers a -1k1 penalty to his defense roll.

    Counter Attack (Passive)
    Requirements: |Melee| 4, |Wisdom| 3
    XP Cost: 4
    Actions: 0
    Unopposed successes on Defense rolls now deal damage to attackers as if they were unopposed successes on an Attack roll.

    Dual Wield (Passive)
    Requirements: |Melee| 3, |Acrobatics| 1
    XP Cost: 4
    Actions: 0-2
    Two blades are better than one. While wielding two |Melee| weapons you get +1 to your dice pool for all Defense rolls against any attacker wielding only one weapon, as well as +1 to your dice pool for Attack rolls against targets wielding one weapon who do not have a shield. You may use both actions to attack without penalty (this is where I suggest a penalty for using both of your actions to attack in one turn), but doing so causes you to lose all dice pool bonuses granted by Dual Wield until the beginning of your next turn. Gerudo may learn this technique for half cost.

    >>15396814
    way I figured it would work is to make a melee stealth attack you would have to be hidden before your turn started (so you would have to have been hidden on your last turn) and you would have to be within movement range of your target and out of it's line of sight so you could move (stealth check) then attack in the same turn.
    >moving out in the open will obviously give you away
    I took this to mean "if you end your turn without cover"

    >>15396844
    Low Blow (Active)
    Requirements: |Brawl| 2
    XP Cost: 3
    Actions: 1
    Deal an extra 1/2 damage to armored targets on a |Brawl|(Wisdom) action.

    Mortal Draw (Active)
    Requirements: |Melee| 4
    XP Cost: 4
    Special: Cannot have weapons drawn last turn.
    Actions: 1
    Draw weapon and attack as a Single Action, +2k1 attack, +1/4 Damage increment.

    Spin Attack (Active)
    Requirements: |Melee| 1
    XP Cost: 2
    Actions: 2
    After taking an action to prepare the Spin Attack the player may make a |Melee|(Power)[knockback] action striking all adjacent targets. Once an action has been taken to prepare the player may hold his action to perform the |Melee|(Power) portion of this technique at any time. Taking damage or performing any action other than moving at half movement interrupts this technique.

    Sneak Attack (Active)
    Requirements: |Melee| 2, |Stealth| 2
    XP Cost: 3
    Actions: Free
    Special: You must be wielding a |Melee| weapon or a non-Explosive |Ranged| weapon.
    When you attack a creature you are hidden from, your attack uses Wisdom instead of its usual Virtue and does 2x damage. You also treat the weapon you are attacking with as having a Damage Increment of 3/4.

    >>15396851
    ---Shield Techniques---
    Shield Attack (Active)
    Requirements: |Melee| 1, |Shield| 2
    XP Cost: 2
    Actions: 1
    As a single action this person is able to thrust his shield forward striking an enemy. Make a |Shield| skill check as an attack with your shield. The damage increment is equal to the shield's reduction value.

    Shield Bash (Active)
    Requirements: Shield Attack
    XP Cost: 3
    Actions: 1
    As a single action this person may thrust his shield at his enemy with great force, throwing them off their guard. Make a |Shield| skill check as an attack against your target. If you beat your target's defense roll, you deal no damage but the target is stunned for 1 round.

    Shield Slam (Active)
    Requirements: Shield Attack
    XP Cost: 3
    Actions: 2
    As a double action this person may, from a static standing position, put all of his weight into his shield shield slamming it into an enemy and forcing them back. Make a |Shield| skill check against your target's defense. If you succeed you deal no damage but the target suffers Knockback 2 and is knocked prone.

    Shield Throw (Active)
    Requirements: Shield Attack
    XP Cost: 5
    Actions: 1
    This person may throw his shield as a Range 5 physical power attack.

    Guard and Attack (Active)
    Requirements: |Melee| 3, |Shield| 3
    XP Cost: 6
    Actions: Defense
    When you succeed on a |Shield| active defense roll, you can immediately make an attack against your attacker as a free action. A Hylian can purchase this technique for half cost.

    >I didn't think automatic effects were where we wanted to go for Techiniques.

    Technically speaking, I think we were going to call passive/automatic effects Abilities, but it's really just a matter of semantics. They all work under the same prerequisites/XP cost system, so they were all listed under the same section of the wiki.

    So yeah, those should stay in.

    >>15396863
    ---Special Techniques---
    Flash Bomb Vanish (Active)
    Prerequisites: |Stealth| 3
    XP Cost: 4
    Actions: 1
    Special: Requires a Deku nut/Flash bomb
    You activate the flash bomb in your space and can immediately move your speed. You are automatically hidden for the entire movement and if you end your movement behind cover, you remain hidden. Shiekah can purchase this Technique for half cost.

    Brawler (Passive)
    Prerequisites: |Melee| 3
    XP Cost: 3
    Your unarmed attacks do 1/2H damage instead of 1/4H. In addition, you can use Power, Wisdom, or Courage as your virtue when making unarmed attacks.

    Charge Attack (Passive)
    Prerequisites: Melee 1 -or- Heavy 1
    XP Cost: 3
    Actions: 2 (modifies charge action)
    Rather than simply pushing your opponent, you use the momentum of your charge to press the attack.
    When making a charge, you may choose to replace the usual opposed Physical Power check with a melee attack roll. If your melee attack would normally use Wisdom, it uses Courage for this attack roll instead (though attacks that normally use Power or Courage are unchanged). Charge attacks made using a |heavy| weapon still require that you use an action to ready your weapon before using it again, just as a normal attack does.

    Feint (Active)
    Prerequisites: Melee 2, Sway or Stealth 1
    XP Cost: 2
    Actions: 1
    As a Single Action, you can attempt to throw your target off and leave them vulnerable to your next attack. Make an opposed Spiritual|Wisdom check against your target. If you win, your target cannot use their active defense against your next attack before the end of your next turn.

    That's more or less what I was going for, yeah. I think I'll update the wiki with that specification (must begin your turn hidden and must make a successful stealth check as you move into attack range).

    These obviously need a lot of tweaks and standardizing, but there's the next step in developing the Techniques. I made most Racial techniques cost 3 so they are cheap, but not character generation cheap. Definitely open to criticism there. I added in Hylians for Guard and Attack, because Hylians had no racial techniques and it seemed appropriate.

    A big theme I think we should embrace is Techniques "trees", with a basic technique that others build off. This keeps individual technique costs low, while still requiring a considerable investment for advanced techniques. I did something like this with the presented shield techniques.

    The only difference between Back Slice and Reaction Back Slice is that the latter is used to interrupt an opponents action, which shouldn't require it's own technique. Anybody should be able to to hold and action and attempt to interrupt someone else's action later in the round. Just get rid of Reaction Back Slice and add this to Back Slice:
    >If you hold an action and use Back Slice to interrupt an opponents attack, he loses his Active Defense and rolls Passive Defense instead.

    Counter Attack probably needs either a technique prerequisite or a higher XP cost. Possibly both. That strikes me as a very powerful tech.

    >>15396851
    |brawl| is no longer a skill, so any techs referencing it need to be changed to |melee| and restricted to specific weapons (unarmed, gauntlets, and claws I believe were what originally fell under the |brawl| skill).

    I think the Sneak Attack tech was intended to have the 3/4h damage increment only be applied to daggers and similar weapons (which I personally still don't like). If we are going to normalize damage increments for sneak attack (which I also don't think is a good idea), it should probably just be 1.5h rather than 3/4h and x2 damage.

    >>15396875
    Brawler should absolutely be a 2 XP cost technique so that it's available at character creation -- otherwise it screws over anyone who wants to make an unarmed kung-fu style fighter.

    >>15397052
    Yeah, should go with that, but I'll make it just part of Back Slice again. Should it have a higher XP Cost or prerequisites, then?

    My concern is that nobody will ever make a normal attack, relying entirely on Techniques after getting 1 or 2 of them. Should we put in a stipulation that you can only use an active technique once per combat or every other round or something?

    Reposting sample dungeon puzzle encounters.

    -----
    There are two sides of a bridge-like platform suspended from the roof. In order to reach the crank at the center, the party must split into two groups of equal weight and approach the crank from opposite sides. Once they reach the crank they can turn the bridge to point to two doors on the opposite two walls. The groups must then separate again and proceed up to the next floor to encounter different challenges. If there is more than one way the group can split up their weight evenly then they may have to return and reorganize into different groups if specific tools of two particular members are needed for a challenge up above.

When the players stand beneath the skylight or examine the mirror the lids of the sarcophagi open and large ReDead Knights step out carrying the mirrors as sheilds. The players must lure each one to a differnt spot and face a different direction before playing the sun's song so as to direct the light to the magnifying glass and light a funeral pyre to awaken the dungeon boss.

    There is a Gerudo Temple room with six large female statues surrounding a central pit, each carrying an urn, and a massive male Gerudo statue holding a chalice on a pedestal in the center. The room is bowl shaped with six levels and stairs connecting each. On the lowest level is a small circular field of sand. Each statue has a switch at it's base. When a player strikes the switch the base the statue pours it's sand filled urn into the pit below along with four leevers and a lanmolas. Each switch hit causes the sand to rise higher and gives the creatures more mobility around the room as well as releasing more of them. When all six switches are pressed the central statue pours an endless spring of water from the chalice, turning the sand to quick sand and pulling all the remaining creatures into a drain beneath the revealed lowest level where chest waits. The chest holds an item that allows them to open the door and escape the room.
    -----
    The players run through a hallway where jets of flame ignite the whole passage, ducking periodically into side crevices and cover to shield themselves from the fire. At the end of the passage there is a ramp leading down and away from the hellish hallways of furnace exhaust.
    Before them, there is a chest protected by a barrier of flame. There are twenty torches in a circle around the room, each with a single keese sitting upon it. The torches are spread too far around to catch with a single spell (though multiple players with fireballs can do the trick) and there are too many to ignite by deku stick or lantern. Players must instead ignite the keese (which are actually just unlit fire keese) before fleeing the room. They can lure them into the flame jet of the hallway, or use other means that they possess. If the do so, the fire keese, which take no damage from fire, will settle back on their torches and light all of them at once, exposing the chest and the key it contains.

    (For a party containing a Goron)
    There is a switch on one side of the room but it is rusted. Even the force of your party members pushing cannot depress it. However, there is a ramp on the other side of the room and a manually cranked lift to the top. It takes the efforts of two party members with a combined physical score of 5 to raise the lift. With proper speed and decent aim, a goron could roll and smash into the switch to activate it, opening the door.
    -----
    (for a Party containing a Zora)
    The party walks into a cylindrical room onto a suspended platform with two inactive beamos. Through a glass wall they can see several zora chained in another room submerged underwater. There is a pool of water far below the platform (with a ladder leading back up to the platform) and an underwater passageway that a player could enter. Once a player enters the passageway, bars rise blocking their retreat and the walls are raised to reveal a labyrinth behind a wall of glass. Only the players still on the platform can see it's full extent and must direct their ally through the maze to the chained zora. After a short time, several creatures, including carnivorous fish, like-likes, and spikes will begin moving through the labyrinth. The Beamos will also become active, though their eye beams are not aimed and their heads can be turned manually to attack creatures through the glass. Once the zora are free the three of them along with the swimming party members (or members) will be able to depress the switches throughout the labyrinth to escape.

    The party walks into a grated room and hears a rumbling far below. There is cracked metal plate that seems like it will give way if the players use some explosives. As soon as any party member lights a bomb, a strong gust of wind comes from below and knocks any party member with less than 4 mass as well as any bombs (blowing out the fuse) upward into the air and through a tunnel until they strike a net and can climb off into the top of a tower. In the top of the sentry tower there is a set of very heavy pots, some rope and half woven nets, extra bombs, and a heavy crossbow. The pots have a mass of 8 and can be rolled with some effort by anyone with more than 2 physical. Using the pots, the player must assist the players down below either by sending down supplies or returning themselves (though dropping in the pot will cause them to take damage unless they are clever). The players may either use some rope or a net to tie down a bomb to the grated floor before shooting it with the crossbow or place the bomb inside the pot to protect it from the wind while lighting it. Once the fragile grate is destroyed a rope will be released that will be blown all the way up to the tower and can be climbed down against the wind and into the next room.

    There is a room full of massive blocks (1 meter cubes) that can be pushed and pulled with the effort of two or more people. The players can see a Darknut with its back turned at the other end of the room guarding a door. The door is bound to his essence and will not open so long as he lives. This is intended to take place at a time when the players are not nearly ready to face a Darknut, but there is a solution. The players can move a lot quicker than the Darknut, which lacks ranged weapons, and they can rearrange the blocks to trap the Darknut and, ultimately, crush him as he is unable to push the blocks by himself. The players may need hints about this, so it may be wise to have them shove aside a block onto a switch in the previous room and reveal a blood splatter on the wall and some crushed bones.
    -----
    There are thousands of tiny hands (mini-floormasters) crawling around the room and a huge eye in the center. The hands are digging through piles of spare bones to rebuild Stalchildren and Stalfos Stalkers which immediately animate and begin walking around the room. When the eye spots the players it immediately directs the skeletons to attack and floats up to the roof to watch the battle. It then turns and directs several of the little hands to grab a magic item from the bone pile (such as a Fire Rod) and run around the room. If the little hands attack the players, instead of dealing damage they steal one unequipped item and begin to run around the room with it. Several of the hands continue to assemble more skeletons at a quickened pace. The players must choose which threat to focus their attention on or how to divide their attention (shooting the eye on the roof with the fire rod temporarily causes all of the hands to stop moving). Once all of the hands are dead, the eyeball falls and dissolves into nothingness.

    >actually the |Melee| roll should be knockback 2 so it can still knock medium size enemies back and then make the |Heavy| roll knockback 3 so it can knock large enemies back

    Knockback 2 would knock large enemies back; read the paragraph on Mass Categories in the basic info section of the wiki.

    Also, I don't think the knockback should differ between light or heavy weapons anyway -- it's unneeded complexity. Absolute realism is not the goal in this system.

    Maybe, but a player who wants to play a character with a large weapon wants to see some fantastic payout, like knocking around an enemy larger than themselves. It adds flavor just as much, if not moreso, than realism.

    This is some good stuff! The Zora maze one seems like it would take some creativity to pull off in a pen-and-paper format, but it's definitely doable.

    The one thing that could stand to be adjusted is the requirements for moving things around. Physical is not simply a matter of strength, it also measures agility and resiliency. A character can have very high Physical, but still be pretty weak -- they might just be very nimble (Physical Wisdom). What you're looking for is Physical Power.
    But that's a small, relatively unimportant detail. You obviously have quite a knack for dungeon/puzzle design.

    and according to those mass categories the average Goron is medium. The whole reason Mass was added to the system was because Gorons should be harder to push around than other races.

    They're already dishing out something like twice as much damage per hit as someone with a smaller weapon -- that should be payoff enough, right? And seeing as spin attack is geared more toward light weapons in the first place, I don't see any need to give it bonuses for heavy weapons -- after all, there will be a whole slew of techs specifically for the |heavy| skill.

    In fact, I recall a tech from one of the earlier threads that added knockback to heavy weapon attacks. There are a lot of techs that have been proposed that never made it out of their original thread; I think I'll go through and round those up after I wash up my dinner dishes here.

    Not really. Heavy can only attack once a round anyway and then has to recover, and Phys/Wis types get sneak attacks to bring it up anyway. Having it tied only to |Melee| means that a |Heavy| specialist can't play Spin the Giant Fucking Stick of Doom like how smaller weapons can. Just slap on a rull round wind-down recovery at the end of it. It requires some planning ahead, some investment, and makes sense.

    >Linear comparison means that in the case of a contested roll (such as in combat) you compare your highest roll to your opponent's highest, your second highest to their second highest, and so forth. If one party in the contest has more kept dice than the opponent, the extra dice are automatic successes.

    So basically you roll for Stealth (X = Physical + Odd skill levels, Y = Wisdom + Even skill levels). This is your roll.
    Opponent rolls for Perception (X = Spiritual + Odd skill levels, Y = Wisdom + Even skill levels). This is the contesting roll.

    Whoever has more successes wins.

It should function the same no matter what weapon your using, and the special features of the heavy weapon can come from your |heavy| techs.

    Honestly I think we just need to have seperate techs, one for a Melee Spin and one for a Heavy Spin. The two will have to act different (wind-down, knockback, maybe a change in wind-up time if playtesting shows we need it) so that a Heavy user won't completely massacre everyone every time.

    You got what it takes to be as strong as any Goron. Kid, I like you. Lets be sworn brothers! Swinging a [Heavy] item in combat no longer requires using your second turn to recoil the swing.

    Parry
    Prereq: Melee 2
    1 action
    You've mastered the art of using your weapon to deflect incoming blows.
    You may take an action to ready an active defense using your |melee| skill (possibly required to be Wisdom based?) when wielding an appropriate weapon.

    You've learned to use your parries to open gaps in your enemy's defenses, and exploit those gaps with lightning speed.
    When using a Parry defense, you may choose to subtract one {additional} die from your rolled pool. If you do, deal damage to the opponent for each success on that Parry defense roll, just as you would if you were attacking.

    Lunging Strike
    Prereq: Melee 1 -or- Heavy 1
    1 action
    You can extend your reach with a close-combat weapon at the risk of putting yourself off-balance.
    This technique allows you to make a normal melee attack with a |melee| or |heavy| weapon with an additional meter added to the range of that attack. Subtract 1 die from your rolled pool for all defense rolls (whether passive or active) until your next turn.

    Follow-through
    Prereq: Melee 3, Lunging Strike
    1 action
    You can follow up on a lunge, closing the distance and regaining your balance while getting in an extra hit.
    In order to use this technique, you must use the Lunging Strike technique immediately beforehand, and there must be an empty space between you and your opponent. When you use this technique, you move 1 meter toward the opponent you attacked with the Lunging Strike and make another attack against that opponent at a -1 penalty to your rolled pool. Use of this technique also negates the defense roll penalty from Lunging Strike.

    Earthshaker
    Prereq: Heavy 5
    2 actions (delivery) + 1 action (recovery)
    Striking the ground a mighty blow, you create a shockwave that knocks enemies off their feet.
    You must be standing on a solid surface and wielding a |heavy| weapon to use this technique. Use of this technique requires you to use an action to ready your weapon again, just as if you'd attacked with that weapon.
    All ground-bound creatures within 1 meter of you are stunned and knocked prone, and all ground-bound creatures within 3 meters are stunned.

    Heavy Blow
    Prereq: Heavy 2
    Passive (combat)
    Your attacks hit with greater force.
    Attacks you make with |heavy| weapons gain Knockback 1. If the attack already has a Knockback rating, that rating improves by 1.

    Staggering Blow
    Prereq: Heavy 3, Heavy Blow
    2 actions (delivery) + 1 action (recovery)
    You can deliver an attack with staggering force.
    You must use a |heavy| weapon to deliver this technique. This technique allows you to make a melee attack with the Staggering quality. You must still use an action to ready your weapon after using this technique, just as you would if you had attacked normally.

    Rubble Spray
    Prereq: Heavy 2
    1 action (delivery) + 1 action (recovery); MP consuming
    You strike the ground with tremendous force, kicking up a shower of rock fragments.
    You must be standing on a hard, rocklike surface and wielding a |heavy| weapon to use this technique. Use of this technique requires you to use an action to ready your weapon again, just as if you'd attacked with that weapon.
    Treat this technique as a |heavy| attack with a damage increment of 3/4H affecting all creatures in a 5 m line beginning directly in front of you. Make a single attack roll, with each creature in the area of effect rolling defense separately.

    Hail of Arrows
    Prereq: Ranged 5
    2 actions
    You can unleash a barrage of missiles to strike multiple foes.
    This technique allows you to use a bow or slingshot to make an attack with AoE 1, centered on a space within 1/2 your weapon's maximum range. Make a single |ranged| attack roll, with each target in the area of effect rolling defense separately. If a target occupies multiple squares in the area of effect, it makes a single defensive roll but any damage it takes from the attack is multiplied by the number of squares it occupies. This action consumes 10 units of ammunition.

    Penetrating Shot
    Prereq: Ranged 3
    1 action
    Your ranged attacks can pass through your target to strike enemies behind it.
    When you attack a target with a |ranged| weapon with the Piercing descriptor, you may choose to make a secondary attack on another target behind the first one. You and both targets must all fall along a single straight line, and the distance between the first and second targets can't exceed 1/2 your weapon's remaining range. For instance, if you attacked a target 30 m away using a bow with a 100 m range, the second target must be within 35 m of the first target. The secondary attack is made at a -1 penalty to your rolled dice total, with an additional -1 for each point of armor rating the primary target has.

    Tripshot
    Prereq: Tool 2
    1 action
    You can use a hookshot or similar tool to yank enemies off their feet.
    To use this technique, you must be using a hookshot, clawshot, or similar tool with the Grip descriptor, and the target must be within this item's range. Roll an unopposed |tool| skill check with a success threshold of 4, then add your Mass to the number of successes rolled on this check. If this sum is greater than or equal to your target's Mass, the target is knocked prone.

    >are we treating crossbows like ranged Heavy weapons, as was suggested? What this means is that it takes one action to ready it and another action to fire it.
    I was going to say no, but adding the Heavy to the weapon qualities might allow for excluding certain ranged weapons from unfeasible techniques.
    However, the problem then is that the Heavy quality assumes you need to "recover" AFTER the attack rather than before like you would with the Crossbow. Changing the order then messes with Heavy melee weapons. Perhaps we could change it so that it reads something like:
    >Heavy weapons require two actions to use

    That way the recovery/loading time is included in the action cost, the versatility of the quality is increased, and it saves us some words since I doubt anyone will NOT take an action to "recover" since your options are greatly limited by not doing so.
    >> Anonymous 06/26/11(Sun)23:58 No.15398395
    >>15398311
    Or, rather than actually classifying crossbows as "heavy" per se, we just say it takes an action to load. I'm pretty sure that's more the point we're getting at -- make crossbows cost two actions, in some form or fashion. It certainly shouldn't be classed under the |heavy| skill (that would be silly), and that's what defines "heavy" weapons anyway.

    Also, the whole point of having recovery as a separate action was because of the flexibility. An example given when it was originally proposed was leaving your huge axe embedded in the ground to punch your opponent in the face with your second action.
    >> Riteblade 06/27/11(Mon)00:03 No.15398430
    >>15398311
    Yeah that sounds good. Maybe a line in under Crossbows in the Weapons section that says:
    >Crossbows require an action to load before an action of firing. The actions of loading and firing do not need to be consecutive.

    And then up the damage to 3/4 heart to compensate. So basically the crossbow will do more damage overall to armored targets (which it was invented to do, wasn't it? I'm not strong in history) and less overall to small-time minions. Basically it's an armor-piercing ranged weapon, like how Heavy weapons are for melee. And the stipulation for AN action of loading for AN action of firing allows it to have Double Shot capabilities. Also I guess we can get rid of Fast Shot.
    >> Temporary Combat Namefag 06/27/11(Mon)00:05 No.15398447
    Maybe the property should be called Recover, Reload or Delay instead of Heavy? That way Crossbows wouldn't be confused with heavy weapons.

    Also, crossbow damage would need to get bumped up to 3/4H. It's still ranged, so it wouldn't need to be quite as strong as a Heavy melée weapon (which puts the wielder in much more danger?

    Well, a theory, anyway.
    TP had you acquisition multiple bomb bags, which could each carry a set number of one type of bomb at a time. Would multiple bomb bags be feasible? Every time I imagine it I just get thie really funny mental image of this little Kokiri completely obscured by a load of explosives he's carrying.

    I think the whole point of multiple bomb bags was to be able to alternate between water bombs and regular bombs. In this system, you can probably store both bombs in one bag, but you'd have to sort how many of each you wanted to buy.

    Would Bombchus/Bomblings need their own bag too? And bomb arrows shouldn't be combinable right off the bat, though a technique could allow someone to make them from a bomb and an arrow, instead of buying them from a shop.

    Does this sound clear, and it is it properly balanced in your gents' opinions? The original description had "points of armor rating" which I guess we did away with.

    Considering the presence of other partyembers, I think there's no reason a player can't carry all the bomb bags a party owns. It doesn't really help them in any way, since they can only light one bomb at a time, but they could do it.

    Here's some rough mount ideas, not including rolls just yet since I'm not sure how the would scale.

    Horse
    Life: 6, Mass: 6, Speed: 14
    (Kick: 1/2H)

    Bullbo
    Life: 6, Mass: 8, Speed: 12
    (Gore: 3/4H)

    Cuccowary (Original mount do not steal- an ostrich-like bird)
    Life: 5, Mass 4, Speed 14
    (Kick: 3/4H)

    Skyloft Bird (tenative, this should wait for the supplement.)
    Life: 5, Mass: 5, Speed: 8, Fly 14

    Sky Bear
    Life: 6, Mass: 6, Speed: 8, Hover 8
    (Pound: double action, area 1, 3/4H)

    Macroo 
    Life: 6, Mass: 5, Speed:10, Jump 8
    (Punch: 1/2H)

    River Dodongo
    Life: 6, Mass: 6, Speed 8, Swim 8
    (Bite: 1/2H, Swallow)

    Your mass cannot be higher than that of your mount.
    You subtract your mass from your mount's speed. So a typical human (mass 4) riding a horse would cause the horse to have a speed of 10.

    Maybe it should use half their mass instead (and give mounts lower base speeds), so multiple riders work better.

    >Maybe it should use half their mass instead (and give mounts lower base speeds), so multiple riders work better.
    Or you could add a riding capacity and subtract from the mount's speed the mass of the largest person + X per additional rider. It leaves room for, say, 4 lard-ass Gorons riding a Dodongo, but I like to think that those are precious moments worth allowing for.

    It would be nice to have a wider variety of techniques available to unarmed combatants, to allow for a variety of unarmed playstyles. There are a few in place already that allow for a goron heavy-hitter which is great, but we should still add a few more to allow for more options in unarmed combat.

    Finished doing up the Techniques in the wiki. Suggestions have stopped, and we have a decent-sized list, so we can probably cross off the first goal in >>15396643 for now. To start us back on Magic, I'm gonna dump what we have in the txt from >>15396700 and stuff from the wiki that isn't in the txt.

    Armor (Wisdom)
    Enchantment
    Your clothes shimmer with protective energy as your enemy's blows are magically absorbed.
    Cost: 2 MP per round
    Range: 0 or 5
    Effect: The target recieves damage reduction of 1/2 heart until caster ends the effect or runs out of Magic Power. The damage reduction does not stack with armor.

    Reflect (Wisdom)
    Enchantment.
    A wave passes through the air and surrounds the sheild, which now glistens and shines like polished silver.
    -Cost: 2 MP per round
    -Range: 0 or 5
    -Requirement: The target must be holding a shield.
    -Effect: The target's shield gains the Reflective property until the caster ends the effect or runs out of Magic Power.

    Fire (Power)
    Attack
    A bolt of fire roars as it soars past.
    -Cost 2MP
    -Range: 10
    -Success: 1/2H fire damage.

    >>15399953
    see >>15399508

    >>15400003
    Ice (Wisdom)
    Attack
    A beam of ice sails through the air.
    -Cost: 2MP
    -Range 10
    -Success: 1/4H Ice damage, and the target's movement is reduced by 1 until the beginning of the caster's turn.

    Fairy Form (Courage)
    Enchantment
    With a word, your body explodes into a cloud of glittering dust, revealing a tiny, flying figure when it clears.
    -Cost: 2MP per round
    -Range: 0 or 1
    -Effect: You or the target Shrinks and gains a fly speed of 6, until the caster ends the effect or runs out of Magic Power.

    Shrinking probably needs it's own description.

    Shrunk
    When shrunk,
    -Your mass is 0
    -Your Movement is half it's normal value.
    -You cannot deal damage to normal-sized creatures.
    -You recieve double damage from normal-sized creatures.
    -You can fit through grates, holes, and other small openings.
    -You get a (+2?) bonus to Stealth towards normal-sized creatures.
    >> Items, but magic! Riteblade 06/27/11(Mon)04:45 No.15400030
    This one I think brings up a good point about maybe enhancing physical weapons with magic.

    Elemental Arrow (Power)
    Attack
    An arrow is charged with elemental energy before it is fired.
    Cost: 2MP (tentative)
    Range: Same as arrow
    Requirements: Target must be firing an arrow
    Success: The effect of a standard Fire or Ice spell (caster's choice) is stacked onto the arrow's damage.

    Light Arrow (Power)
    Attack
    An arrow is imbued with holy power before being fired.
    Cost: 4MP (tentative, but remains proportionate to the Elemental Arrow, above)
    Range: Same as arrow
    Requirements: Target must be firing an arrow
    Success: An additional 1/2H of Light damage is stacked onto the arrow.

    What do you guys think? I'm thinking the Light Arrow could be more powerful.

    And then we have all the goodie items that I'm not going to take up several posts doing:
    Din's Fire
    Farore's Wind
    Nayru's Love
    Magic Cape
    Cane of Byrna
    Cane of Somaria
    Fire Rod
    Ice Rod
    Ether Medallion
    Quake Medallion
    Bombos Medallion

    This completely defeats the purpose of the Heavy Blow technique -- it's supposed to add knockback to attacks that don't normally have it, and increase knockback for attacks that do.

    It should be optional, though.

    I think this needs an update, since it hass too many items in it right now. Mystical Seeds, Pieces of Power and maybe bombs seem like they should be rarer. And there's no way you should get an orange rupee by killing a typical enemy.

    I also want to post vehicle ideas, but I know we've got techniques and spells to work on now.
    Are they on the wiki yet?

    1 and 2- no drops
    3-Rupees (By Threat Level)
    4-Ammunition (bullets, arrows)
    5-Heart
    6-Magic Jar

    This list is just for killing an enemy. It's not perfect and needs a lot of work, but I thought I should throw it out.

    20 units of ammunition sounds good if you start with a bow or other ranged weapon.re currently going with starting equipment being three items/spells/whatever, right?
    Right, though we do need to come up with a list of what items and such are appropriate for a starting character.

    >What happens when you reach zero hearts? Do you die? If so, that might be a bit harsh. Perhaps we could have it like in Final Fantasy, where the party survives as long as one member does?
    This sounds fair to me. When you hit 0 hearts, you're not exactly dead, just unconscious. Monsters will almost always ignore a downed enemy to focus on more pressing threats. If everyone is incapacitated, though, the monsters will finish you off. A fairy can restore a downed character, but it takes more attention than your teammates can spare in battle to bring you back with a potion or similar item. As long as one party member survives the fight, they can take a handful of rounds to nurse the rest back to consciousness (1 heart) afterward.
    Since we're going to include healing magic, should any healing spell revive a downed character, or should that require a specific spell? Maybe limit the more basic healing spells to only working on allies who were downed within the last turn (or possibly longer if you have a higher |magic| skill)?

    Oh, and magma/water should have a countdown until you die, I suppose.
    And giant pits should either trap them far, far below or have Floormasters that dump them back above or something.

    >Starting equipment: (taking stats from the wiki)
    THREE ITEMS FROM THE FOLLOWING CATEGORIES:
    -Armor (Light/Medium, up to 1/2H, or according to GM)
    -|Melee| Weapon(up to 1/2H)
    -|Ranged| Weapon, 20 ammo included
    -|Heavy| Weapon (up to 1+1/2H)
    >We need weaker |Heavy| weapons. Something around 1H damage would fit, and does roundabout the same damage as a sword.
    -Magic Spells (list of starting spells here) (includes a tome, rope or other enchanted item (1/4H, |Melee| Phys Wis)
    >That item does the same damage as your fists, but with Wisdom (and works with tomes as they are on the wiki).
    -Songs (list of starting songs)(includes an instrument)
    -Miscellaneous items (non-magical, with GM approval)

    Additionally, players start with X days of food, a magic, bottomless haversack, clothes and X rupees.

    I hate to introduce new features so late, but I thought this mechanic would provide a lot of potential for techniques and monster fights.

    Interrupting Action
    On your turn, you can hold one or both of your actions to perform them later in the round, even between another creature's actions. As a drawback, you lose the same number of actions you held on your next turn. (trading 2 actions for 1 interrupting action)

    For instance, a player is fighting a dodongo. She primes a bomb with one action and holds her second action, doing nothing else on her turn. 
    On the dodongo's turn, it opens it's mouth to charge its fire breath as one action. The player chooses now to take her held action (between the dodongo's actions) and rolls the bomb into the monsters mouth, destroying it.
    On her next turn, the player has only one action to take.

    Makes sense. It makes it easier to make boss battles as well, so that's all good.

    Also, (mini)boss battle scenario:
    >Party enters a big room with a table at the center
    >DOORS LOCK
    >Sitting at the further end of the table is a huge skeleton with fancy clothes on
    >It doesn't move
    >On closer inspection, it has a big knife stuck in it's back
    >When the knife is touched, the skeleton screams and starts fighting the players
    >The players need to hit the knife to damage it
    It might be a bit simplistic, but it serves it's purpose. I don't know what the knife is, though. Maybe it's just a big, knife-shaped key of +5 against Stalfos.
    >> Temporary Combat Namefag 06/27/11(Mon)13:40 No.15402983
    >>15402692
    Double subversion: the party kills the Stalfos and the knife starts flying around and attacking them; turns out it was possessing the skeleton. Once they beat on it enough the spirit departs and they can use the cool knife themselves.

    Also, here's a take on redoing the Back Slice and Mortal Draw

    Mortal Draw
    -Prerequisites: Quick Draw, Sneak Attack, Melee 5, Wisdom 4
    -XP Cost: 6
    -Double Action
    Requirement: you must have your weapon sheathed.
    You make a melee attack against an adjacent enemy that deals 3x damage. This attack targets Passive Defense (or is treated like a sneak attack in terms of accuracy?)


    Back Slice
    Prerequisites: Melee 4, Dodge 3
    -XP Cost: 4
    -Interrupting Action
    Requirement: you must have a held action ready and be Actively Defending with Dodge this round.
    When an enemy misses you with a melee attack, you move up to half your speed around the enemy and make a melee attack against it's flank.

    Depends on the color of the Rupee, which can be solved simply by just rolling again and take away whatever color you roll. Should you roll a second rupoor you just multiply the negative x2, if another x3, if another x4(ect.) of the color you finally get. Which should be that much of a worry because its a rare chance that someone would get bummed out so bad they roll a x3 Negative Rupoor.

    The seeds are a consumable just like arrows, bombs, and the like, and they appeared as random drops in the Oracle games, so I'd say they should be on the drop table.

    And agreed with the whole "melee technique" confusion. We need to make sure to specify whether it's "melee" or "|melee|" -- those pipes make a lot of difference.

    >>15403433

    08-11 : Rupees by threat level (46.29%)
    12-13 : Regeneration Items (21.29%)
    14-16 : Arrows/Bombs/Pellets/Seeds (14.35%)
    >Do we want to make a table for this as well, or just let GMs use whatever method they think appropriate?
    17-18 : Piece of Power/Guardian Acorn (1.85%)

    Right, so if you're including them in your game, you'd want them to be a potential random drop, wouldn't you? Hence why I put them in the same category with bombs and arrows on my table there -- if you're not using seeds, they wouldn't be dropped, but if you are then that's where they'd fall. Monsters don't drop ammo you don't have access to anyway (no arrows if you don't have the bow, no bombs if you don't have a bomb bag, and so forth).

    Probably the best way to handle those drops would be to simply roll a d6 if you hit that category on the 3d6 roll, assigning results as appropriate for what the party should have access to.

The seeds in the Oracle games weren't any more rare or valuable than bombs or arrows in any other game, so I don't see why they shouldn't be treated the same as those other ammunition items if a GM wants to include them in their game. They were pretty common drops from enemies, certainly not rare by any stretch. The only thing that was at all a "big deal" regarding them was getting the new kinds you need to bypass a certain obstacle -- after that, they weren't terribly hard to get ahold of. Just like bombs, arrows, and similar consumables.

    They certainly don't deserve a slot unto themselves, but if we just have a general "ammunition items" slot on the random drop table then the seeds should definitely be included there.

    I think 1d6 loot drops was the best idea so far, I think we should have several different 1d6 tables that vary depending on the situation, rather than a universal 2d6/3d6.
    Mainly because one of zeldas charms was a highly refined system of relatively low numbers, so I think we should keep as many rolls as low as possible to hold on to that feel.

    Hmm. Hmmmmm.
    There's a way to make these things work together somehow.
    >> bot27 06/27/11(Mon)18:36 No.15405392
    >>15405233
    My idea is roll 1d6 to find out which type of loot will be dropped, then from there, branch into more situational rolls, that have variable factors like threat and importance of the creature.
    1 - nothing will drop
    2 - rupees will drop
    3 - ammunition that the party needs
    4 - Completley random ammunition
    5 - Regeneration item that the party needs
    6 - Completely random regeneration item

    after this roll, the DM rolls another d6 that the DM can edit to fit the situation,
    for example, lets say he rolls 3, and the party needs deku seeds, sticks, arrows, and bombs. this is only 4 items that need to fill 6 slots, so the DM can decide which take an extra slot by factoring in what the party needs most, and how valuable the items are, and how threatening was the monster slain so the roll can look something like this :

    1 - deku sticks
    2 - deku sticks
    3 - arrows
    4 - arrows
    5 - bombs
    6 - deku seeds

    This looks pretty good, though my one concern is that it adds a bit more work for the GM with the whole "what the party needs" bit, and this system is already looking to be pretty labor-intensive for GMs.

    Not sure how much of an impact it would have, it might be pretty irrelevant, but it's something to keep in mind.

    I had the same concern at first, but then I realized asking the party which items they are short of the maximum on, and by how many isn't as much work as my first instinct told me it was.
    >> Temporary Combat Namefag 06/27/11(Mon)18:54 No.15405506
    Can we table the random drop table discussion for now? The 1d6 table is enough to work with for playtesting. We can expand on it when other things are settled.

    We need to come up with a unified format for techniques and continue editing.
    >> bot27 06/27/11(Mon)19:34 No.15405774

    we need to hit a consensus on how fast we want characters to advance. There needs to be visible improvement as players progress through a dungeon gaining some techs and items, and the biggest bursts of progress need to come at the end of a major quest/dungeon. this should be when players are able to gain hearts, and be able to advance their virtues. so I think our next goal should be solidifying the numbers on how this happens.

    So I have to use an action for Active Defense, then hold my next action, the successfully dodge, then make a successful attack "against its flank" which doesn't imply any kind of bonus because we don't have flanking rules?
    That sounds horrid. It's fine the way it is.

    I had already assumed this would be a feature as it's pretty standard in most systems, except you shouldn't have to lose an action for each action you hold unless you hold it/them into the next round. So if you hold your action and use it in the same round, then in the next round you take your turn as normal, but if you hold your action and don't use it until the next round then that is one of your actions for that round and your next action must immediately follow (this assuming you only held one action). If you hold an action all the way until your normal initiative turn in the next round then you just lose the held action and take your normal action for that round.
    >> Temporary Combat Namefag 06/28/11(Tue)00:14 No.15408186

    "Against the flank" means the same thing as attacking Passive Defense (and might mean more things relating to armor later) but we cam change the wording if it works better that way.

    If we're going by canon, there's only one at a time, and he's their king. (And the only on-screen one was Ganon.) Magic is probably involved in there somewhere; not sure if it's canonically a curse or not.

    Maybe have your rogue be a "honourary" Gerudo? Technically an outsider, but impressed the thieves in some way...

    XP Cost: Low (Sheikah)
    Actions: 1
    Special: Requires a Deku nut/Flash bomb
    You activate the flash bomb in your space and can immediately move your speed. You are automatically hidden for the entire movement and if you end your movement behind cover, you remain hidden.

    The way that stealth is written right now, makes this tech quite useless frankly, it would be cool if we could redesign it as to be a useful way to get a sneak attack or something along those lines.

    A quick question about untrained skill use. Do you just use the relevant attribute and virture combination or is there some kind of penalty? For example, lets say the Zora mage looking guy is forced to defend himself with a sword, if he wasn't trained would he just roll Physical/Courage?

    >> Gurtyel 06/28/11(Tue)23:14 No.15418559

    I understand you just roll the relevant attribute and keep virtue, without penalty or bonus whatsoever.

    C'mon guys, looking for some feedback. Racial tech costs/modifications seem alright overall? How did we want to work easier access for the Human subtypes, with no prerequisites as on the wiki or with lower cost like I suggested?
    >> Gurtyel 06/28/11(Tue)23:39 No.15418748
    >>15418631

    The xp cost looks fine for those techs i think you really nailed it, with the sole exception of bladed fins tech, since it doesnt give you a dmg increment, it should just cost 2 xp and the fins should return after you take any another action, that way you could move after shooting but you just have to wait till you expend another action to be able to shoot again, it is unnecessarly crippling to make the pc expend one action to retrieve the fins. Also, i proppose brawler tech costs 2 xp too.

    I strongly agree with the brawler 2 xp cost. It's necessary to make an empty hand fighter at creation.
    >> Gurtyel 06/28/11(Tue)23:44 No.15418774
    We should make a goal to design 4 racial techs for every race that would be a good start, what do you think?

    >>15418748
    Thanks, I'll update the wiki for racial techs with those suggestions. How about the Hylian/Gerudo/Shiekah thing? We really need more techs that actually apply to each subtype.

    >>15418774
    I think 2 or 3 for each race is fine for the time being. We just want a baseline, and there's always room to expand.

    Really, the way I see it working is we'll get the base system in, and then folks will continue posting new suggestions for techs and items and races and all kinds of things for a very long while after that. Once we have it playable doesn't mean we'll be done developing it, I imagine.

    >>15418631
    Lower cost is probably the way to go for the human benefits. Lowered prerequisites either give them powerful techs too early or doesn't matter since they already meet the prerequisites.

    I'll try and post some tech ideas specifically for humans.
    >> Your Friendly Neighborhood DM 06/29/11(Wed)00:55 No.15419287
    TECHNIQUES: Okay, edited the wiki to add xp costs to the techniques, and tweaked a few of them that had strange wordings or didn't make sense. In particular I added some drawbacks to the ranged techniques (two attacks in one actions without penalty? I don't think so), and stated that all active |Heavy| techniques require a recovery actions as normal for attacking with a |Heavy| weapon, so each technique didn't have to explicitly list a recovery action.

    What's next on the list? And are there any glaring problems with what's on the wiki technique list now?
    >> Your Friendly Neighborhood DM 06/29/11(Wed)01:01 No.15419350
    Another thought about Techniques. Do we want to limit how often an Active technique can be used? It might seem like it's stealing the "cool" out of the system, but unless we do it there will be almost no reason to ever make a normal attack.

    Perhaps we could build a method of determining how many Active techniques a character can use in a single combat, but which techniques those are is left up to the character. That way they have to manage their use of techniques vs. normal attacks, but can use the same technique multiple times if desired.

    Alternatively, we could put a "cooldown" mechanic on the techniques, a number of rounds before they can be used again, but I'm pretty sure that idea will get shot down simply because it vaguely reminds people of MMOs.
    >> Anonymous 06/29/11(Wed)01:07 No.15419410
    >>15419350
    Maybe have the characters earn "tech points" by landing attacks/ defending successfully/ casting a spell/ etc. Then, the character can use a number of tech points dependent on the technique (maybe equal to the xp cost of the tech?). Passive techniques of course wouldn't have a point cost.
    >> Temporary Combat Namefag 06/29/11(Wed)01:11 No.15419449
    >>15419350
    Most techniques have drawbacks to them that keep players from spamming them over and over. Sure, there's nothing stopping a player from constantly using Jump Attack round after round, but he keeps leaving himself wide open, and a smart GM will have monsters wise up to the players tactics once they see them used for the first time.

    Also, human-based techs

    Telepathy
    -Prerequisites: Magic 3
    -XP Cost: 4 (Hylian 2)
    -Single Action
    You can mentally communicate with one of your allies within 100 meters. The telepathy is two-way, and your ally can respond to your message as a single action.
    Special: Certain items, such as Telepathic Tiles, may extend the range of your telepathy.

    Piercing Gaze
    -Prerequisites: Perception 4
    -XP Cost: 6 (Sheikah 3)
    -Passive Technique
    When you believe that something you see is an illusion, you can make a Perception check as a free action to see through it.

    Self-Sacrifice
    -Prerequisites: Courage 3, Guard 3
    -XP Cost: 4 (Sheikah 2)
    -Free Action
    If an ally adjacent to you is attacked, you can push the ally 1 space, move into their vacated space, and force the attack to target you instead.
    >making this use a held action would make it less useful, but a free action might be too easy to abuse. Thoughts?

    Sandwalker
    -Prerequisites: Dodge 4
    -XP Cost: 6 (Gerudo 3)
    -Passive Technique
    You can move through shifting or uneven terrain at full speed instead of half speed. 

    Scouring Winds
    -Prerequisites: Magic 4, Courage 3, Power 3
    -XP Cost: 4 (Gerudo 2)
    -Passive Technique
    You deal an extra 1/4H damage per success with wind-based Magic attacks.

    Healing Winds
    -Prerequisites: Magic 4, Courage 3, Wisdom 3
    -XP Cost: 4 (Hylian 2)
    -Passive Technique
    When you move an ally with a wind-based Magic spell, you heal them for 1/4H.

    I actually really love this suggestion. Can we get more thoughts on this? It would be a very cool, intuitive combat mechanic, I think. You could get a point for tech usage at the end of each of your turns, plus another point for each successfully completed action, perhaps? Only actions that require a roll, of course; things like attacking, leaping a small chasm, swinging on a rope into a baddie and knocking him into a pit, etc. You could even gain points for successful uses of a technique, to keep the momentum going.

    ...I'm not really sure what Dead Man's Volley is, but would it work to just make it an unopposed check with increasing difficulty? After what I suppose is an initial hit.
    Perhaps odd rolls add 1 to one thingy and even ones add 1 to the other thingy?
    So:
    >Initial hit
    >Hit#1:2(1)
    >Hit#2:3(1)
    >Hit#3:3(2)
    >Hit#4:4(2)
    Obviously you'd start at something higher than 1(1), but yeah.

    This is all assuming that I'm not gravely misunderstanding what a Dead Man's Volley is. I'm guessing on some kind of enemy-jugling technique, but I'm not sure if that's been in zelda.

    >>15422939
    Dead Man's Volley is where you and an enemy deflect a magic attack back and forth until one of you fails and gets hit. You've got it.

    Ok, so I can assume how it starts:
    >Caster creates the initial attack; the target can defend against the attack as usual, or if they have a held action, they can engage in a Dead Man's Volley.


    Not sure how it plays out round after round though, unless all the action stops until the volley is resolved (which is more dramatic but less fun for those not participating.)
    >> Anonymous 06/29/11(Wed)12:01 No.15423031

    Perhaps the attack spawns an orb of magic or such? It moved around rather slowly, and volleys sometimes took longer than six seconds...
    >> Temporary Combat Namefag 06/29/11(Wed)12:10 No.15423077

    I guess the problem with that is that it doesn't escalate, and it doesn't model actively attacking an enemy's spell.

    >>15423031
    I like this a lot. It moves between targets a round at a time, up to the point where it's so fast both participants are attacking it twice each round.
