Ok, I am getting worried about the power creep again. Some of the characters are getting too powerful, and either not having enough downsides, or not just not having a good enough reason for it. This is a story after all, and though I don't want to be to harsh on people, some will just have to understand that some characters will be less powerful overall.
Generally the characters that have been around the longest and at "Veterans" in a way, will be amongst the most powerful. I am also going to put a limit on how many secondary powerful characters can be included. It was ok with having gets, because they were generally a lot less powerful, but I don't like the idea of each player have 4 or 5 powerful lord level characters.
So please bear this in mind when putting forward new characters, as I am going to quite strict with them.
Now onto the the latest changes & sign-ups:
Vekarin - To be honest I think your character is possibly the most powerful overall. He has extreme protection, coupled with high offensiveness. Realistically the only person I can see stopping your in a determined attack is Lesa if she negates your magic items (again
). So some of your requested changes to further increase those stats is........worrying.
(just to clear something up. Agility is how agile a character is, how fast they can dodge attacks (like wardancers), move dance around in combat. Weaponskill covers how fast a vampire can strike, how accurate, how fast they can block.)
So bearing this is mind. I think Vekarin's Agility should be reduced to 5, as his WS covers his how fast he can strike, how accurate etc. His toughness of 8 with his plate I think is too high. You are ending up with a WS10, hitting at S9, and T8 in return. I think 7 with the Plate would be tough enough, though I would allow it to be 8 against magic spells.
The mask has no magic left, so I don't think it should be allowed a stat. The Khopesh I just see as a light weapon that is magical in nature. I can't really see a stat it would increase. The Dark Blade I will allow to have a Technique Strength of 9.
Nar-Zuul. Firstly he is a wraith, so he is not going to be as powerful as lord level vampires. Yes he may have been powerful when alive and know a lot, but he has been reduced to a spirit nonetheless and would have lost some power. Agility, ok I can see he would be high but not 10. That would be blinding fast and nothing in his history has shown why he would be so fast, nor are wraiths that fast as standard. A 7 would suffice. I can see that he may have learned and retain his high WS so thats ok. His basic strength is not though. He is an incorporeal spirit, so even when he does have the power to affect things in the mortal realm it would be much reduced. I would say Raw strength of 3. His technique strength can however remain at 5 as that takes into account his skill and his scythe. The rest is fine though I would have thought his necromancy skill to be an 8 after being around Nagash?
Todd: I am still not happy raising them. The swords are powerful yes, but I feel that would make them too OP.
Ok, so that is them done.
Ghouly - Graveclaws skills can also be shown as knowing when to strike with his claws, what the best weakpoints are, when to dodge, how to feint etc. It doesn't have to involve swords or weaponry.
knightofni - Great first post, and nothing wrong with writing a lot.
