story rules

The following applies to the entire “STORY” category, and no other location’s roleplay category. Story roleplay is the most important, plot moving parts of the story. Large events, such as battles where everyone is participating, will all be done in #📃story-rp . To put it simply, any sort of roleplay or event where we want everyone to join in, will all be done in #📃story-rp.

We will inform everyone ahead of time (several days before, etc.) when we will be having a large event held in #📃story-rp . The story roleplay is more DND based, to make it easier on the mods, and really, everyone. Battles will all be turned based, and there are stats involved, just as there are in normal DND campaigns.

script roleplay

In #📃story-rp only, we will be using SCRIPT ROLEPLAY. Script roleplay is more simple and laid back, and in situations where everyone is going to be typing at once- especially in large battle scenarios- it will make things much easier to manage and read.

Here’s an example of script roleplay:
CYANSTAR : thank you. [he nodded his head.]
Script doesn’t have to be super short, and you can include as much information as you want, as long as it’s in that format.

stats

Roleplay will not as complex as normal DND would be, and we are really only taking rolling mechanics from it in #📃story-rp , where eve will be monitoring everyone’s rolls, like a normal Dungeon Master in DND.

Due to the way rolling mechanics work, each character will have customized stat points.
Here are all of the stats:

For combat based scenarios, you have the following three (3) stats:

ATTACK used as a modifier in attacking rolls.

DEFENSE used as a modifier against enemies’ attacking rolls.

HEALTH used as a modifier to the character’s Hit point amount.

You will have EIGHT (8) points to distribute through those stats. When adding up the total of the stat numbers, it should add up to eight! For example, Cyanstar’s ATTACK stat is FOUR (4). His DEFENSE stat is TWO (2). And lastly, his HEALTH stat is TWO (2) as well. You can add as many points in whichever category as you want, as long as you do not overlap the EIGHT (8) point max rule.

There are also action based scenarios, and as above, you will have the following three (3) stats:
PHYSICALITY all physical related actions, such as climbing, lifting objects, etc.

MENTALITY all mental related actions, such as remembering, convincing, etc.

SPIRITUALITY all faith-related actions, such as interpreting signs, encouraging, and etc.

Just as above with the combat based stats, you have EIGHT (8) points to distribute as you wish into the action based stats.

rolls

Eve will be instructing everyone’s rolls, therefore, we will be using #🎲actions-and-rolls for this purpose. Eve is going to be requesting everyone to send their “action requests” in the channel as well. An example of that can be “CYANSTAR would like to sniff for any sign of SLEETSTAR.” Any action that you’d like to make will be rolled based off your stat points. In the scenario above, she would ask you to roll 1d50+(physicality)! So, if your character has a physicality stat of 3, you would simply roll 1d50+3!

Will be the bot who gives the result of your roll. Anything 25 and below is a failed/unsuccessful roll. Anything between 26-35 is a partial success, and anything above is a full success. When battling, the roll you get and the roll your opponent gets will “compete”, so the attacker will roll 1d50+atk, while the defender will roll 1d50+def. The higher number of the two will be the succeeder.

Carrying on with the DND mechanics, there will be a special ability every character has, and it’s referred to as your Wild Card ability. Each one is different, and can be individually tuned to match your character’s quirk, so the options are endless! You will need to discuss your Wildcard ability with the moderators, in order to keep it balanced. Wildcard abilities work as a buff to your character, and it doesn’t have to be for battle purposes only. If your character’s quirk leaned on a more mental standpoint instead of physical (ie. making other character’s believe a lie), your Wildcard ability could have something to do with persuasion rolls. However, you must keep in mind, that because everything is roll oriented, not every roll will succeed if you have a quirk that’s mentality based. This obviously goes for any quirk, but it’s something to keep noted.

To put it simply, your Wildcard ability will boost the odds of your rolls succeeding, whether you choose to have an automatic success on certain rolls, or simply raising one of your stats by a few points. The maximum that you are allowed to raise any stat with your Wildcard ability will be by TWO. This also goes with how long your Wildcard ability works; your buff will only be active for the maximum of TWO rolls before it goes on cooldown. The cooldown will vary between character, because again, all of the abilities are different from one another.

It’s slightly complicated to explain how it works, since everyone’s ability will be different, but that’s why you’ll be discussing what Wildcard ability you’d like with the moderators!
