Thank you!

May I have "Dream Interpretation" as an official spell (or gift/skill/talent) ?

[Barapam]

I'm interested, but I'm not sure I know enough about D&D or the Bible. Also, are nephilim a mix of angels and humans, or a different species entirely? And what does it mean when "Lawful good" is followed by a parenthesis?

Also, sorry for not posting in your anime rp. I think the character I made perhaps wasn't too well-suited to the setting, or maybe I didn't have any fantasy, because I couldn't come up with anything after the maid scene.

First Point: You are more than welcome. I will help you if you're stuck and/or need advice, but this is foremost a Dice RP enriched with satire and references which you don't need to understand to enjoy.


Second Point: Nephilim are only mentioned twice in the Bible:

"The Nephilim were upon the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God went into the daughters of humankind, and they bore children to them." -Genesis 6:4

"And they presented the report of the land that they explored to the Israelites,[a] saying, “The land that we went through to explore is a land that eats its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in its midst are men of great size. 33 There we saw the Nephilim (the descendants[c] of Anak came from the Nephilim), and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their eyes." -Numbers 13:32-33

Pretty much everything that we know about the "sons of Anak"/"Anakites"/"Nephilim" are that they're noticeably tall and probably strong humans. Imagine Goliath from the story of David and Goliath. I don't recall any half-human/half-angel examples in the Bible (although the first verse might be considered proof, "sons of God" likely refers to human men), so those are unavailable.


Third Point: Dungeons and Dragons famously has a system of alignment which everyone loves to use: basically, how nice are you (good, neutral, evil) and what is your stance regarding the written law (lawful, neutral, chaotic)? For example, if I steal from the rich to give to the poor, I don't respect the law (chaotic) but I do have good intentions (good): [b]chaotic good. A character like Les Miserables' Javert, who will see any criminal no matter how downtrodden behind bars out of a sense of duty, would be lawful neutral, since he has no ulterior motive. The point of the joke here is that modern Christian doctrine dictates to always be good and to always obey the law. As a result, the only option is "Lawful Good," but I do accept other alignments.

That's fine my me. We are doing this practically home-brew, after all.

[Zjaum]

All right, I have rules and a roster. The IC will be up by the end of my day.

[Zjaum]

I added Race/Class modifications that should add more depth. Also, apologies; I confused "align=right... /align" with "floatright... /floatright". I changed it, and it might make your applications look better.

[Khasinkonia]

Just to be clear, for race modifiers, do we add those onto our rolls?

Yes... and I just realized that those are way too big in terms of modifiers. I'll make edits, but that's supposed to be the idea. Self-Control will probably be halved during attacks.

[Zjaum]

Postponing IC to tomorrow if that's all right.

no worries from me, mate.

Your first roll was {5,12,3,3,10,6,2,4,20,3}. This is a very low set, so I rerolled for you. You have the option to choose either the first set or {18,18,13,8,20,5,20,14,1,11}.

Hope I filled it out right, seemed there was one number more than stars. Also, what does +1/Level mean? Can I put that on a stat of my choosing?

The final number is your health.

Every time you level up (A D&D thing. Sometimes levels are arbitrarily assigned by the Dungeon Master (myself, which is true in this case), and sometimes they're based on earning enough XP from slaying enemies) you will add a new spell to your knowledge.

As we level up, can we improve some of our stats? I have a few awful ones....

Ok, so 11 is my health and I should put the 1 in there somewhere instead? Got it.

Lel, unless you want to play hardcore D&D. It's possible, I'd think.

All right; the IC is up. Click on the image on the OP to go there!

I really enjoyed reading this, I'll definitely be lurking ^_^

Hey!

I had a question: Zjaum, Your character Abigail is walking around with a bible. Does that mean that the old and new testament have been written and printed, and that Christ died on the cross? If we were to walk around a biblical Israel, Christ wouldn't have been crucified, right?
