Experimental Character Application

Alright gang, we're looking to move toward a new age of the forum, and therefore a new system of RP! For this, we're going to need something a little more engaging than just "These are the things I can do." So allow me to unveil our new stats system.

Q: "What has changed?"
A: Well, for starters, we've enacted a new stats system based on six attributes. Strength, Speed, Physical Durability, Intelligence, Energy Protection, and Energy Projection. Powers now function more as descriptors. Less "I have heat vision." and more "I have a 7 in Energy Projection, which allows me to have heat vision." Small edits that make a very big difference in how RP will be conducted!

Q: "So can I still have three powers? Do I still have to worry about sub-powers?"
A: Frankly, I don't care how many powers you have! As long as your stats reflect the presence of those powers, I'm all for it. Now, keep in mind that powers will be judged on a case by case basis and certain powers will have stat thresholds that we'll be focusing on. Someone with an Energy Projection stat of 1 isn't going to have a Green Lantern ring. That would be a logical fallacy.

Q: "How many of these points do I get to stick in these stat slots?"
A: Well, a stat can be upped to a maximum cap of 10, and you're given 28 points to place however you want to on your sheet, in addition to your racial modifier!

Q: "Woah wait, there are benefits to being Human over Kryptonian now?"
A: Absolutely there are! Each race in the DC Universe has it's own stat bonuses! If your race isn't listed in the following spoiler, go ahead and shoot a mod a message! We'll get back to you A.S.A.P. as soon as we can tell you what your racial modifiers will be!

Character Races:

 

Human: 4 points spread evenly across any stats of your choice; or +3 to one stat

Tamaranian: +2 to Energy Projection, +1 to Strength, +1 to Energy Protection

Kryptonian: +1 to Strength, Physical Durability, Energy Protection, and Energy Projection

Green Martian: +2 to Intelligence, +1 to Energy Projection, +1 to Energy Protection

White Martian: +2 to Intelligence, +1 to Strength, +1 to Energy Projection

Amazon: +2 to Strength, +1 to Speed, +1 to Physical Durability

Atlantean: +2 to Physical Durability, +1 to Strength, +1 to Energy Protection

Q: "Has anything else changed?"
A: Not really! Outside of combat, roleplay will largely be carried out identically to before the reboot, with a huge focus on revamping the combat system. The new staff members feel that that was a huge detriment to the previous version of the forum, but we're open to being proven wrong! For more information, visit the "Combat Revamped!" topic, which will be linked here when I finish it up.
