/rp/ - Roleplay

The world of Aventuria beckons and there is always work for heroes to go on (more or less) epic adventures! Aventuria is a medieval-stylish fantasy world where lots of exciting fun is to be had!

Quickly roll up a hero and the fun may begin.

Your heroes have five possible stats:
————————————-
Courage
Intelligence
Charisma
Dexterity
Strength

Roll a d6 and add 7 for each of the stats (giving each stat a value of between 8 and 13)!

You can roll up your stats here or just use a d6 at home! But don’t return with every stat being a 13, you cheater!


THOSE CRAZY GERMANS:
——————–
The Dark Eye is a German system so everything is naturally upside down, meaning a stat of 20 is totally awesome and a 1 is total shite! When rolling checks it’s the opposite! A 1 is amazing (critical success) and a 20 blows (critical failure)! So it’s the exact opposite of DnD. Easy, right?

HEALTH:
——-
You start with 30 hit points, don’t lose them all! When you reach 0 you fall unconscious and will died within a few minutes unless someone helps you. If you reach -5 you’re totally dead.

MAGIC:
——
Maybe later if enough people play!

MONEYS!
——-
Quickly roll a d6 and takes that times 60. That’s the amount of silver pieces you get (i. e. 60 – 120) for starters! You can buy stuff with it! The currency is: 1 Gold Piece = 10 Silver Pieces = 100 Copper Pieces.

NAME, RACE, CLASS etc.
———————-
Make up a nice name. And your character should have a sex too! Everyone’s either a Human or a Dwarf! No classes yet, everyone’s just a plain “adventurer”.

CHECKS:
——-
If you got a Courage of e.g. 13 and I demand a stat check (without modifications) for it you roll a d20. If you roll not higher than your 13 you succeed! If you are above you fail, you coward!

FIGHTING!
———
Every new hero starts with an Attack (AT) of 10 and a Defense (DEF) of 8! Fighting happens with a d20. You must not roll higher than your AT or DEF stat or you’ll miss! In ever combat round you may attack once and defend once.
Now quickly, buy some items!

INITIATIVE:
———–
The guys with the highest Courage go first!

HOW TO DEAL DAMAGE:
——————-
If you hit and your opponent cannot defend you roll your damage, e.g. with a sword you roll a d6 and add 4. Let’s say you rolled 4, thus make 4+4 = 8 damage. From that damage the opponent deducts his Armor Class, e.g. 3 if he wears Leather Armor. He receives 8-3 = 5 damage which he deducts from his 30 Hit Points.
