TerraEarth DnD Manual

[Jason Tandro]

Okay, guys. Here is everything you need to know about TerraEarth DnD! I'll be starting it up the Monday after next... maybe sooner.

---
Section I. Creating Your Character

Race
You can choose one of four races.


Human
The “basic” race. Power-hungry and ambitious, humans are well-suited to a variety of jobs.

Racial Modifiers: ATK +3, MAG +3, CHA +5

Elf
The “stealth” race. Woodsmen and hunters, this proud race is suited to jobs involving espionage or infiltration.

Racial Modifiers: MAG +3, EVA +3, AGI +5

Dwarf
The “combat” race. Miners and drinkers, these boisterous folk love gems and love weapons even more, making them set for physical jobs.

Racial Modifiers: ATK +6, DEF +6

Half-Demon
The “magic” race. As people who are crossbred with the Demons, and by extension the Moon Tribe, they are set for magical roles.

Racial Modifiers: MAG +6, EVA +6


Roll For Stats

Roll for your stats and then add your racial modifiers.

Vital Stats
(Roll 5d6 and add them).

HP- Health Points. When they reach 0, you will die.
MP- Magic Points. When they reach 0, you can no longer use magic.

Battle Stats
(Roll 5d6, subtract the two lowest numbers and add the rest)

ATK- Determines the “base” amount of damage dealt with an attack.
DEF- Determines the “base” amount of damage that you can deflect.
MAG- Determines the “base” amount of damage dealt with a spell.
EVA- Determines the “base” chance of evasion.

Other Stats
(Roll 5d6, subtract the two lowest numbers and add the rest)

AGI- Determines how agile you are. Agility affects how far you can jump, fall,
and how fast you travel.
CHA- Determines your charisma. Charisma affects how much people like you,
and how easily you can manipulate them.
LCK- Determines your luck. Luck affects the likelihood of a variety of things.


Choose an Alignment

Alignment determines your motivations, interactions with various factions, safe locales, and so forth.

True Good- You will do what is right, no matter what. You are pure.
Lawful Good- You are a noble, peace-loving, chivalrous warrior.
Chaotic Good- You believe in doing what’s right, but you’ll do it your way.

Lawful Neutral- You generally do what’s right, but you don’t really care.
True Neutral- You will do whatever is easiest for you, no matter the morality.
Chaotic Neutral- You have a mercenary mind. As long as the price is right…

Lawful Evil- You seek the destruction of light, but still have a shred of decency.
Chaotic Evil- You want nothing but destruction and suffering at your hands.
True Evil- You have no hope for light or redemption. Everything must be destroyed.


Choose A Job

With the exception of Freelancer, Jobs are limited by stat restrictions. You must meet the requirements to take on that job. If you do no meet the requirements for your desired job you may exchange points from another stat to the required one at a 2 to 1 ratio (2 lost points for 1 gained). You may only do this to meet the requirements of a job, and only to the point where the minimum requirement is met.

You will also see Good and Evil Titles. The bold title is the general job family, and also serves as the Neutral Job Title. If you are Good, use the good title, and same with Evil and the evil title.

You will also see the Basic Tech Tree for the job you want. These are the skills you can learn for this job family. Certain things, such as AP (Ability Points), a particular alignment, or other skills may be required for you to learn a certain skill. If a skill says it requires Basic Tech, that means this job starts with this skill.

Also, it is important to know that these skills are not the only skills you can learn. Throughout the game you will find guilds, teachers, and shops which can teach new skills if certain parameters are met. These are merely the basic guaranteed techs you can learn.

Regarding Multi-Classing

It is possible to multi-class after reaching Level 2. You can only use the Combat skills of your current job, but you can equip up to 3 Non-Combat skills learned from any job. You must specify which Non-Combat skills are active at one time. You may only change your Non-Combat skills when you are in a town.

It should also be noted that AP is expended only on skills for the job you are currently equipped with.


Section II. Levels and How They Work

You start with 5 EXP and you will earn levels, based on the UES (Universal Experience Scale):

Level = (Previous Level EXP x2)

Level 2 10 EXP
Level 3 20 EXP
Level 4 40 EXP
Level 5 80 EXP
And so forth.

So… what good is it?

1. You will gain 3 Stat points which can be applied to one of your seven non-vital stats (ATK, DEF, MAG, EVA, AGI, CHA, and LCK).
2. Your HP will raise ¼ your DEF and your MP will raise by ¼ your MAG.


Section III. Rounds

Rounds are posted twice a week, and happen every three days, not counting Sunday. I will try to keep this on a Monday and Thursday basis, but won’t always be able to guarantee this.

Each Round post will be broken down into sections aimed at each player. You will receive information about what time it is, where you are, and an automatic spot check. I will only display your vital stats and inventory, but I will keep a running record of your non-vital stats on my own. You can PM me if you need a reminder of what they are, but I urge you to keep track of your own stats with your character sheet.

You will be given your bit of storyline, and then your options for the round. Entering a Battle Event will bypass the round system, and your character will be re-entered into the next free round once your battle is complete.

If you do not reply by the end of the round, your character will “Wait”. If your character “Waits for three consecutive rounds, you will be removed from the game until you ask to re-enter.



Battle Events

Battle Events are done via PM. You go blow-for-blow with enemies until one of you emerges victorious.

What if I Die?

No worry. You will return in a temple in the nearest town alive and well.

However…

Your non-vital stats will reduce by 1 each and your vital stats will drop by 3 each.

Note: The Shop is another thing I have to finalize. I'll post it here when it's ready. Just so you know, you purchase items from the shop with Board Gems!

[Freedan]

Finally, a use for gems!

Sounds pretty cool. I'll be looking forward to Mondays and Thursdays, then.

[EverPhoenix]

that is quite cool.

will there be a possibility for minor customisation? ie class name (not actual class) changes, depending on which spells/abilities are obtained?

ie wizards with mostly healing could be priests, fire could be pyromancer... etc. might be a bit weird to see a priest who has only cure and then all the offensive spells

[psychokind]

how are we going to role the dice?

jason will do it so you just have to trust him

[Dark_Gaia]

i dont have many gems =( lol its ok ill win with skillz

[Jason Tandro]

@EverPhoenix: As long as I know what Class Family you are, you can change your name as desired.

@psychokind: There is this online D&d Die Roller Program that I've been using for Zombie Holocaust.

@Dark Gaia: I will award Gems for accomplishments, so it will balance out.

[Metall Ark (XD®)]

Finally it´s start. Let´s do our best guys.

[Jason Tandro]

Oh, one thing that Chicken brought to my attention.

Skills such as Equip Bow are designed with multi-classing in mind.

For instance a Scout can equip bows all the time. But lets say you suddenly want to switch to Black Belt. If you learned Equip Bow during your time as a Scout than you can still equip bows, even though Black Belts are not allowed to use bows normally.

But (and here is th confusion) you do not need to learn Equip Bows before you, a Scout, can actually equip them.

[psychokind]

jason, could you let us post our own character sheet, so we can edit it when our stats change? or will you make the edit?

also, could you write down learned skills and equip to the char sheets?

and could you give an example of multi-classing? let's say I'm a monk/knight, I come to town as a monk, and may go out as a knight? or are the 2 classes somehow combined?^^

I will edit them and add info as necessary (skills and items go up on Thu.)

Also Non-Combat skills are the key for multi-classing. You can equip 3 Non-Combat skills learned from ANY job, thus allowing, say, a priest to wield axes.

nice, thanks!

so to say, I'm the monk knight and choose in town to wear heavy armor, swords and barehanded?
then what about combat skills? I can't use skills from monk AND knight? only the one of my "current" job? is the current job the one I lvld up last level up?^^

[Jason Tandro]

Your level isn't based around your job. It's based around your stats. You can only use the COMBAT skills from your current job. And you can choose to change jobs at various locales starting at Level 2.
