    Default R - Dire - A Horror Fantasy - OOC

    D I R E

    (Photo Credit: Me, 2008)

    The town of Woodbury has never been the topic of conversation for any who live outside its forested borders. It holds no tourist attractions, no monuments, no interesting landmarks. Its tiny population has continued to shrink as the majority of each generation leave for bigger and better things in bigger and better towns. The ones who remain, however, are a generally hardy, reliable group who value work ethic and honesty. They are so few and close knit that all emergency services and local government offices reside in the same building. It is common knowledge that nothing exciting has happened in Woodbury since its foundation...but a storm is coming that will test the true mettle and character of its inhabitants.



    You are either a member of an emergency service, a local government employee, or a visitor to the town hall (be it a complaint or something else...you decide!) when the storm hits. You must hide in the basement shelter to wait it out with everyone else in the building, but when you exit, the world is not the same...


    .


    I'm drawing on a few previous rp ideas I've had as well as Silent Hill and Dungeons & Dragons to make this horror rp, so I hope it goes over well with you guys! We will be using adapted DnD character classes, alignments, and skills to build your characters, and I'd like to use a rolling system for certain events and actions (I seem to remember a function on this site for dice rolling but I forget how it works so if any of you recall, I'd much appreciate it).


    NOT EVERYTHING IS EXACTLY LIKE DUNGEONS & DRAGONS/NEVERWINTER NIGHTS. I'm using them as a guide to help me build an interesting and challenging roleplay.




    Classes, Alignments, Abilities, and Skills referenced/copied from the first Neverwinter Nights PC game (2003)


    Spoiler: Classes 


    Spoiler: Alignments 


    Spoiler: Abilities 


    Spoiler: Skills MAXIMUM 5 




    IMPORTANT: If you have the skill Spellcraft, you will enter the altered world with strange powers that you cannot explain. These powers are determined by your abilities per class (Bard, Sorcerer – Charisma. Cleric, Druid – Wisdom. Wizard– Intelligence.). Depending on your ability score, these powers will be barely noticeable to reasonably strong.


    Spoiler: Spells (choose 5 within your level) 


    I did not include every spell that will be used in-game, just the ones your characters will be able to use.


    Remove my notes when you are done with your sheet. If you are not a spellcaster, also remove the spells slot on the sheet.


    Spoiler: Character Sheet 



    Let me know if I missed anything or if you have any questions! I'm here to help!

When queried about it, he simply replies with "ecclesiastic research."

    Small edits, guys. Ma1chbox, you can't have Listen, and Isaac, you need to roll ranks for your skills. (sorry I'm a bit slow with this, I've been super busy and preoccupied with my injury so I miss some stuff!)

    Looks like you've got an awesome roleplay started, Pyro! If you would like to advertise for more members, here are some ways to do so!

    First off, there's the Roleplay of the Week. This is displayed on the website's home page as well as on the side bar of the forum. If you think it might help then we implore you to do so! We are always looking for new RP's to advertise. (No, really. We are. Always.) If you would like a little bit more information, or even an example, you can view that here.

    One of the requirements for a RP of the Week submission is that you have a banner. If you're not artistically inclined, however, do not fear! We have several amazing artists on the site who will make one for you. Simply post here.

    Next, you can post in this thread and the staff will display your role-play in their signatures.

    Also feel free to post in the Roleplay Directory. This is a thread that anyone can view at any time to see roleplays that are currently seeking and accepting members.

    Why can't I have listen? Would Heal be a good alternative?

    Listen is not available for Clerics. I listed the classes able to use each skill after the description. Clerics are able to use Concentration, Craft Weapon, Heal, Lore, Parry, Persuade, and Spellcraft. For Nikolaj, I'd recommend Persuade, but it's up to you what you want to choose.
