Realm of Greeting Q & A

If you are suggesting that a skill that you are using can, in turn, affect your stats (I assume strength, speed, ect) then it will be considered an ability. For example, being able to use a sword is a skill. A specific maneuver that you use that causes something to happen is an ability. Two examples:

1) A specific maneuver that allows a samurai to draw a sword directly from the sheath. The initial withdraw of the sword causes the first strike to be 2x faster than a normal blow. That is an ability, something that modifies your speed attributes.

2) When removing a sword from the sheath, a beam of dark energy is released and sent out towards the opponent. That is also an ability.

The ability to use the sword itself is a skill, the affects that are caused by the removing of the blade are abilities.

posting really quickly from work so I apologize if this is rushed.

I can foresee issues with leveling my character later on, only because many of her stat increases will be passive and directly tied into what she is as a race.

I can't go into specifics at the moment, but something off the top of my head would be Azza's strength fortification and speed. These two are directly tied into her development as a species of her race, but I separated it out as racial abilities. Should they have gone under something more like traits?

Orphans, it doesn't matter what you want to call them. Duffy has looked over your profile, and I've looked over your profile, and we both agree you don't need to worry about anything until your next level update, and that you probably won't have to make too many changes. Lots of other characters have very similar abilities and they're integrating just fine.

[Duffy]

You have to also consider, Orphans, that statistic increases are relative to their base value.

In your case, X1.2 speed or strength would still likely mean -0.8% that of a grown human, and still half as quick as the reflexes of an elf with a similar benefit.

Your regenerative abilities are balanced and offset with the negative traits, as long as you don't progress the higher end boosts at absurd rates with each level up, there will be no issue with character progression regardless of the classifications .

Quick question. Would members be able re-register their characters to make better use of the RoG template?

I'm already aware that I wouldn't be able to use any of the new abilities in threads I'm already in, I just would like to know if I can add things now or would I have to wait until my first level up.

[Duffy]

That's entirely your choice (though it's my preference for everyone to not do it at the same time!)

Hello. I am new to this forum, so forgive me for asking something that's really obvious.
I've posted my character profile on the PG-registration board, as instructed by the FAQ. But, when I look at the page I can't see my post. I've tried posting my profile twice already, but it doesn't seem to work.
Can somebody help me out?

Hi Gan, and welcome!

Just asking to make sure that you are posting it on THIS PAGE.

It seems you've managed to post here so I'm fairly confident it's not an issue of misclicking or not submitting properly. Give it another try there, on the same page where the thread titled "Siren" is listed. If you still have trouble, you could message the profile to either Sandstorm or Letho and they may be able to help you out as well.

(Disclaimer: I'm not a moderator or admin)


EDIT: I see you posted! Glad things worked out =)

[Gan Mann]

Ah, this time it came through. I think it has something to do with the two reply buttons on the page: the first two times I tried to post my profile I used the bottom one, but the last time I used the top one. Dunno. :P
But yeah, thanks!

[Letho]

Actually, what happens is that the forum automatic filtering system sometimes brands a newly posted profile as potential spam, so it doesn't appear until a mod looks over it and approves it. There is actually a stickied notice regarding that issue.
