Well where else do you think they'd keep a magical sword?!Originally Posted by strawberryman222
Think that's funny, when playing D&D one day I sided with our fighter looking for actual shinies because "shiny=magical properties. Check the rocks! They may be thunderstones!!"
Called the silverwind :joey: Thats a catchy name for a sword. It suits it just well...
Well where else do you think they'd keep a magical sword?!Okay chuckles, from now on I pick the adventures.
Thanks to Sagensyg for the sig!
I hope PeteK (My bestest friend in the whole wide world and is a Canadian bad-ass.) is reading this cause I decided to make him a possible party member as well.. with a twist.. you have to fight'em.. no matter who you are..
[i]PeteK is a zombie swashbuckling ranger. (Oh the irony.) Being an undead nature defender, he has several coolio abilities and proves magick isn't everything. He has two-wpn!, (Masamuni+Excalibur=0WNAG3) is immune to instant death and mind effecting spells, (However heal spells WILL hurt him. You'll have to drink potions. Yep, making a use for them even at later level..)decent attack, evade, and run checks, AND at higher levels Fvrdenmy! Favored Enemy is original because you can choose liberal or conservative despite you being the oppisite! It's sortof a differant approach to smite! Where as smite! gos with the flow of your alignment and deals damage to the oppisite, you set into stone which side you want to increase the damage from in all of your attacks.. Unfourtanatly you cannot get PeteK unless you prove yourself worthy to his cause by defeating him in battle. *Puts on the stereo "bigg butts" but if you lose you cannot try and get him again, he mutters you aint worth his time and lurks back in the shadows. Hmm, you should've gone with B.. "Don't want none unless you got buns hon!" Challenge rating: 4.
EDIT: The first monster reveald!
SAMs Club Member.
These soldiers of the dark serve the nefarious Wal-Mart and fight you regularly if you happen to defend small buisnesses.. They carry simple weaponry like long swords and chain skirts. So they're bassicaly low-level knights. You can take'em.. and you can especialy hinder them if you happen to have a REAL knight in the party and use your break! command to leave them naked and scared.. however it may not be in your best interest to do so so you can sell those items for more gil. You can never have too much gil..
Challenge rating: 6.
What's a challenge rating? A challenge rating assumes the power level rounded up to a general number in that part of the game..
1-3: Below average. Just minor annoyances in your overall quest.
4-7: Normal to above average. Pretty standard stuff here..
8-10: Can be difficult if you're an amatuer. But nothing skill or raw power can't handle.
10-12: Starting to get hard and you'll have to think ahead. Alot of bosses are between these levels of challenge rating.
13+ : OMGZ!1!11

Oh ofcourse, ceartain peoples will be profficent with ceartain things. put into a blunt category such as simple, martial, exotic, or special weaponry.
Simple=Clubs, knives, etc.
Martial=Swords, bows, yadda yadda.
Exotic=Double-axe blade, spikedchain, that good stuff.
Special=Masamunie, Excalibur, expect only a handful of characters to be using special weapons.
Your compliment earns you party member status!It's been done before, but good fun anyway
Meat Puppet.
Meat Puppet is a honorable dwarven samurai who is bound to honor despite his kingdom being overthrown and thwarted by the horrible Mr.Bush.. What's the differance between adding Meat Puppet or a fighter to your party? The following..
1: Meat Puppet though pretty proffiecent isn't QUITE as proffiecent with weapons and armor as a fighter would otherwise be. Not counting his.. honor penalty..
2: Meat Puppet's stats arn't quite on par with the fighter's neither.
3: Meat Puppet is "bound by the dwarven honor code" and refuses to use peircing type weapons. That means no swords, no bows, just good old fashioned hammers, maces, anything that bashes and smashes pretty much.. Each type of weapon has something going for it, in a process of critical hit percentage, overall damage, and likelyhood of "breaking". (Yes, weapons can break without assitance.)
4: Meat Puppet has by far the worst run percentage in the game. Being an "honorable dwarf" fleeing is foreighn to him..
5: To make up for these obvious flaws Meat Puppet has two really game-breaking skills.. Scan! and repair! Scan! Allows you to see everything on a monster free willingly at anytime, allowing you to put stradegy into your battles.. repair! allows you to "fix" broken weapons without having to consult a blacksmith. Which is clearly a gil saver..
could you make me a minor character that comes and goes like shadow from FF6 (only you pay me in rings)
I want in! How about a non-human character? Something....different.
Baseball lies: Man with four balls cannot walk....
You are Laguna! Although you're way too shy with the
opposite sex, you've got a heart of pure gold. You're a good
leader and well liked by those who know you. Most of your
friends look to your good sense when they need advice.

...SIDEQUEST!could you make me a minor character that comes and goes like shadow from FF6 (only you pay me in rings)
Gollum.
[i]"Could you do me a biiiig favor?" Asks the lowly little girl.. "There is a ring somewhere up north that can grant me my wish, would you please get it for me? I know for a fact it's real, but there is no way I could survive up there! Those monsters are terrible and will eat me alive!Ofcourse once I get my wish I'll be big and strong and able to help you stop that evil tyrant! (Notice i leave out who the tyrant be..) Choose either..
"well sure little lady, who am I to deny a child and thier dream?!" or..
"I'd like to help you miss, but I have a very important mission. I can't waste my time going on scavanger hunts." Don't even think about selling or using the item, it isn't an option.
Choose no and Gollum just runs away blubbering about you being a meanie. Go for it and have a long grueling mission of finding this stupid ring and giving to him-her-it.. I say this because once Gollum posses the ring.. Gollum makes a wish.. to be a man! But this wishing ring has limited power and grants him only a differance in gender, not that of age are status quo.
"Well it isn't perfect, but I think now I'm ready to take on that big bully! See ya'!" You see the young lad run off to fight whomever your main enemy happens to be and before you can even walk away you hear "Michal Jackson?! Have at--what the--AHHH!" and then "Heheheheh"
Yes i know that was low, but hey, picking on guys like MJ sways people away from looking at me funny..
You want to summon the devil..
HA HA HA YES!!! very good
Differant eh?! >: D you asked for it..
moses.
moses is an orc barbarian. He gos beserk on a regular basis and his family can't stand him. They ask you to take them off thier hands. Talk to moses himself and you'll notice he talks in the third person and simple. "moses no like Bush! Bush bad! moses smash bush! moses think of vegitables when think of bush! moses hate vegitables AND thinking! thinking hurt moses head! moses have to take V8 with tylenol to get rid of head pain! v8 vegitable.. MOSES HATE #$%$#$@#^ VEGITABLE!!"
moses is "unofficaly" the best character. Because besides rage! (Which is a level 1 spell, not a big buffer and he can only use it so many times..) he has the best stats in the game. Greatest strength, speed, evade, and HP to boot. You'll need his high stats for his sheer lack of armor options and lack of character depth..
I love you! I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU!! lol, that's disturbingly similar to myself.
You are Laguna! Although you're way too shy with the
opposite sex, you've got a heart of pure gold. You're a good
leader and well liked by those who know you. Most of your
friends look to your good sense when they need advice.

Oh, I remember an earlier post wanting "optional bosses". Well, it's not so much "optional" as "the omen" to who you picked to begin with. You come across a cathadril that has been taken over by demon worshippers. They re-name this church "the cradle of filth". You can go inside to try and contend with the evil gang but none of them will attack you, they're too busy praying to the devil.You can clearly see the statue and the story progresses with you having to make a choice.
HM:
"*You walk away, they'll all one day see worshiping this creature is pointless once you possess The Necrononicom and have it do your bidding*"
"*You look at the statue and the fools with disgust and show them what being evil is all about. You unzip your pants and pee on thier so called god.*"
Either way the boss is going to be offended, the statue's eyes begin to glow and poofity poof puff, out comes a new enemy. However it's an easy way to earna liberal or conservative point.
Jenny:
"*You wonder deep inside what sane person would ever worship an entity that only represents pain and anguish and walk away feeling shame for the both of you.*"
"*Your rage builds and you cannot believe all the moraless acts they are subjecting themselves too and the fact that they peverted an otherwise sacred place. You swear at the top of your lungs and promise that you will not stand idoly by and watch them mock the almighty God any longer.*"
Out pops a demon just like with Harvest Moon, but of a differant variety.
If you chose Harvest Moon.
Pazuzu.
When you see Pazuzu your character mutters "crap.." and the battle begins. Pazuzu is hardly considerd CHALLENGING with no real special attacks just a high evade and hits pretty hard.However even when you defeat him he randomly selects one of your party members and possess them! That's right! You have to fight him A SECOND TIME AS ONE OF YOUR TEAM MEMBERS! Once you kill your ally the negative spirit leaves and is banished back to the nether regions. However now you'll have to stay at an inn or something cause guess what, your party member is dead-dead.. Challenge rating: 13.
If you chose Jenny.
Mephistopheles.
Mephistophilus is scary yo! When you meet with him Jenny members ironicaly "holy sh--" and is cut off by him yelling "THE VIRGIN SOUL IS MINE!!!" and erupts in an uncanny battle to say the least. Again, no magick crap. (Unlike most rpgs mine will not advocate magick as something common and easy to hold in one's hands..) But very hard to hit and even harder to withstand the blows of. Mephistopheles also has Tempt! what does Tempt! do? Well as long as you are in Mephistopheles presence there is a chance during your command action your characters may do nothing, (Out of fear.) do something else, (They can't think straight, the unholy aura is overwhelming.) or attack a fellow party member! (Tempted by Mephisto's tricks..) clearly none of these actions are desirable and you want to maim this bastard as fast as possible. Which unfourtanatly may or may not be an option..
Challenge rating: 20.
When you defeat either one of these miscreants pat yourself on the back for one, you've earned it, secondly be ready to accept "The Gullontine" a powerful powerful axe weapon that the evil cult gives to you out of utter respect. Your power struggle has proven to them they are but meek servants and have forseen YOU becoming the king of demons and devils.. This may be a more desirable future if you chose HM as your primary character.. Ironicaly neither HM nor Jenny cause use the gullontine which makes you question this prophecy.. for now..
NOW FOR SOME BOOK LEARNIN'!
Pazuzu: A winged demon, feared by the people of ancient Mesopotamia. It is a creature with a deformed head, the wings of an eagle, the sharp claws of a lion on its hands and feet, and the tail of a scorpion. This demon is the personification of the south-east storm wind, which brings diseases. The Mesopotamians believed that Pazuzu lived in the desert.
He also was the demon used to possesed the girl in the movie "The Exscorsist." you can tell from the hyroglyphics at the beggeining of the movie..
Mephistopheles ("he who loves not the light"), also Mephisto, Mephistophilus, and Mephist, is a name given to one of the chief demons in Western religious traditions[?]. The name is frequently used as an alternative form of Satan or the Devil. However, as the name Mephistopheles evolved during the Renaissance, Mephistopheles makes no appearance whatsoever in the Bible. Rather, Mephistopheles appears in various literary works which tell the tale of the legendary Faustus, a man who sells his soul to the Devil.
Mephisto is also a staple villain in Marvel comic books and is a really old Magic the gathering card..
Are you adapting the Challenge Rating from normal D&D where the CR is equivalent to the level of party that should be fighting it? If so, don't forget to increase the power of the monster with each given Challenge Rating because if you are allowing for six party members instead of the standart D&D for for which the monsters are made, the game will be far too easy.
Ooh, another cool idea: the secret dungeon.
Noone is meant to find this dungeon, it is suppsedly a gateway to the seventh level of hell which is suppsedly the most secretive and less well known of the hell plains. And with the villains you'll come across in this dungeon you better believe it. The mythical dungeon not only contains strong monsters but three count'em.. THREE big bad evil guys!
Martha Stewart.
The weakest of the evil trinity. (Which isn't saying much..) Martha bassicaly is annoying with her keen evade stat and hits hard. That's it, nothing special. But fighting her is by no means "a good thing".. Challenge rating: 8.
OJ Simpson.
Those multiple arms aint just for show. This guy has the wierdo ability to attack more then once! Anywhere from 1-6 times, you don't know! And being a little bit stronger then Martha you can't afford to be "unlucky with the draw" too many times! The only reedeeming quality is that OJ has a much lower evade then any of the other enemies in this dungeon. Thank God.. Challenge rating: 10.
Scott Peterson.
You'd think some big huge turantula monster would have a lower evade then that but nope, he's pretty light on his feet. Hurts like a mother to when he attacks, his defence aint too shabby, and worst of all.. every bite has the potential to poisen you! That's right! You'll be cursing the name Scott Peterson long after you've defeated him.. He sets the standard for most all bosses in this game.. Challenge rating: 15.
At the end of this terrible dungeon is another elemental armor resistance waiting for you to grasp. Assuming you have the patience to mow down all these bastards..
