New Suggestions

As long as it's far far away from Braavos and Barthathos. =P

All this sounds good enough, I just want a little more...global view in the world. I have seen that SoS was very GM party centered.

I anticipated that same problem, and came up with this solution : There will be a 'main storyline' that my character goes about trying to fix, similar to Braavos in SoS. However, I intend to create a new character that plays a roll in every side-story. For instance, if three of you broke off and decided to ignore the story in favor of one of your own, I'd create another character that would have some effect on your tale. Having an active roll in everyone's story would help me to make sure that no one is ignored just because they don't follow the main plot.

That, and I will be more generous with the boss battles this time around : They won't be exclusive to the GM party.

I am composing a document that describes in detail everything that has anything to do with DiE. The only thing I still require is a list of suggested races and what they're good at. Here's what I've got so far.

Humans
Elves
Gnomes
Dwarves
Ogres
Orcs
Maians
Minotaurs
Centuars

Troll and or giants

Faries

Needs moar Dark Elf.

=O *scribbles down vigorously*

*takes paper and throws it in trash*

no fairies.

Sylvari - Uses mostly Nature Magic, Ranged Weaponry, or Knives. Can talk/sing to trees for different effects. Dream of Dreams allow them to see what other Sylvari have experienced, to an extent. Share a bond with dragons and the few Noble Centaur of old.

Undead - Gains strength at night, and loses strength during day (though not as extremely as Night Elf), and gets healed by dark magic, while devastatingly injured by holy magic.

Vampire (not the same thing as undead) - Gains strength at night, and loses strength during day (as extreme as Night Elves), can drink blood to recover strength, but it distracts them. If they don't drink blood, their health slowly deteriorates, and they weaken.

Pesty said Dark Elf, I'd like to suggest splitting Elves into..
High Elf - Live in Cities, uses mostly magic. Only Elves "accustomed" to human life, and are allied with them.
Dark Elf - Live in the wilderness and in mountains, and occasionally in forests. Uses magic and close range weaponry. Hates all other life forms, though may show kindness to Night Elves.
Wood Elves - Live in forests, uses mostly ranged weaponry. Extremely good survival instincts, due to living away from human influence and surviving in the wild.
Night Elves - Live in forests, uses balance between ranged and close-combat weaponry, not specializing in either, and gains strength during the night (usually some ability), while weakening slightly during the day.

Z 1 said Trolls, though I'd like to add that there are the big, hulking trolls, then there's the smaller, leaner, more agile Jungle Trolls. Don't know which one he was suggesting.

Humans - Most balanced class. Can use anything, but very hard to specialize.

Gnomes - Experts in Technology and Research. Very good for Alchemists and Gunners.

Dwarves - Experts in Forging/Smithing, and Axe Mastery. Can create their own items with many supplies and time.

Ogres - Very strong in defence and offence, but little intelligence. Feared by most humans and are often hunted.

Orcs - Strong in close range combat and defence, but not very much intelligence. Gets nasty looks from humans based on their grotesque appearance and their past.

Maians - Very strong/skilled in magic, due to the mana flowing in their veins. They have alot of extra power and extra MP. But, their bodies are very frail, and have very poor defence, and are very poor at physical combat.

Minotaurs - Large and bulky, they are very strong. They can even resist magic fairly well. But their large bulk is hard to move, and are very slow, and very predictable. They often command weak "minions" that they intimidate to help them, as Minotaurs are much to slow to fight all on their own all the time.

Centaurs - Because of their lower body, Centaurs can travel between locations as fast as the other races do when they push their horses to their limits. But their lower body has its disadvantages in battle; it's large and an easy target, and near impossible to protect their back. They can carry around other lifeforms as if they were horses, but they find it very insulting, and rarely do.

Satyr - Fallen High Elves. Too influenced by magic, they became cruel, their bodies becoming distorted. Can consume mana to heal themselves, thus, becoming natural hunters of the Maians. Very strong with magic, but using it hurts themselves.

Lich - Can raise small, weak minions from the dead to fight for them. Are very frail, and can only use ice magic, though not effecientally enough to fight on their own.

Minor Dragon/Dragon Youth - Very smart creatures. They have magic properties, though they cannot use it themselves. Can harness their power to help other, spellcasting creatures. Fight with their teeth and claws, and can breath fire, and can fly for short periods of time. Bonded strongly to Sylvari, and Night Elves.


Sylvari, All elves but High Elves, Vampires, Satyr, and Jungle Trolls all have increased speed/agility. Mostly Sylvari and Vampires, then Satyr, then Elves, then Jungle Trolls.

i was meaning jungle trolls

Interesting. ^_^

I'll make sure that most of that finds its way into the RP.

Well, I like most of what Jarki said. Here are my only complaints.

Dark Elf = Night Elf pretty much.

I say we just combine the two into one race and call it Drow.
Bonuses something like:
-Bonus using Scimitars (If they are included)
-Bonus to Duel-Wielding (Scimitars/Long Blades only)
-Cannot use Axe, Blunt Weapondry, most magic...
-CAN use Long Blades, Short Blades, Spears, Thrown Weapons, and Poison based attacks.
-Some kind of a poison attack, maybe the ability to poison throwing weapons
-Stat Drain during daytime
-Maybe a slight stealth bonus (Only when it's very dark out?)
-Hatred towards everything not Drow or Spider-related



Also, idk where your getting the forest settings for Dark Elfs, they live in caves...

I think we can just seperate the elves into:

High Elves (both high and wood elves), and Dark Elves, or Drows, like what peng suggested. Most everything else is already here, so there aint much else to suggest.

*laughs that only a handfull of people are on forums and that many a class will be left unloved*

*Points out that each person will have about 5 or so classes by the end of the RP*

Races on the other hand, yes I suppose many of those might be unloved.

Yeah...I already have my Character...planned out.
I don't see why anyone would pick some of the lesser races either.

All of them are both equally "good".

Just, some major in somethings and are weaker in others.

It may look like a few are weaker, out of the ones I suggested, but they're all added bonus/weakness wise similar.




I had all that because that was basically my list for the one I was making, with a few adjustments. Figured there was no point in making one anymore, since Trigger was making one, so I added it here.

I'm going to add another race... From my story and from Guild Wars. Maybe an Enemy only.


Charr - A feral race. Very aggressive, fast, and powerful. Problem is, they always fight. They are very skilled in both ranged weaponry and close-combat, and in fire magic. They can use their claws and teeth, but usually use their crude swords and axes. Only a small handful of them can speak human tongue, and even less are "good natured". They have very soft flesh which can be punctured easily, so if they are caught without armour, it is nearly an instant death.

Oh, and I know I won't be able to decide between Sylvari, Dragon. But if they aren't in there, Night Elf. And if that isn't in there, then I won't know what to choose... Maybe Satyr. Or Human even...

I'm either going to be a Dragon, Centaur, or a Lich. I dunno.

I'm probably going to be Drow or...like Undead.

Would the dragon class be like the mamakut (spelling) from fire emblem, in which they look just like people until they transform? Or actual dragons all the time?

Like the Mamakut. Literally powerless in their human form, but as a dragon, very very powerful.

Can't stay in Dragon form all the time...

i think that the next rp should be like jarki's old one Teh zombies
