Half orcs are now playable.
Dámon-Khá and Amán-edán are now moved to standard race selection. Still need to be careful when expressing wings, horns, or any traits they may have that would set off the locals.

Mod changes:
Unfortunately some of the previous mod changes had to be reverted but will be tweaked in later updates.
Nysync is now set up and no longer need HAKS unless you are contributing areas for the server.

Hello everyone! We have a new webhook for Discord. You will see a new button on your post that will now send your post to discord. This button only works in the custom request boards and will alert the staff. Please don't abuse this and allow time for staff to look over your request.

The mechanics have been updated to the point that people can start resubmitting their techniques. Powers will be put on hold for a little while longer until the DM Team can discuss the current state of powers, and what we want from them.

Changes:

Resource Pools:
SP Calculation Level + (TWO HIGHEST between STR/DEX/CON) + BONUS SP = SP TOTAL

MP Calculation Level + (TWO HIGHEST between WIS/INT/CHA) + BONUS MP = MP TOTAL



Tech/Active Rebalancing:

To determine DF effect, we will be using Dice Progression. Each buy into a DF effect, the level of dice goes up by 1. Dice progression is: 1 - > 1d2 -> 1d3 -> 1d4. This guys up to a d8, then rolls over to 1d8+1, then 1d8+1d2.

IE: 5 HP dmg/round becomes +1d5 HP dmg/round.
IE2: 13 HP dmg/round becomes 1d8+1d5 HP dmg/round.

Rank	SP/MP cost	TP	Max Drawback	Power Active TP Bonus
Rank 0	1	1	0	0
Rank 1	2	2	2	2
Rank 2	4	4	4	4
Rank 3	8	10	6	6
Rank 4	12	16	8	9
Rank 5	20	25	10	15

DF Chart Changes:

Name	TP Cost	Effect	Duration	Passive Buy-In	Notes
Damage per Round	1	Adds 1 Bonus HP Damage per Round.	1 Action		Only gets added once. For passives, or multiple damage-type techniques, this bonus HP damage must state whether it buffs Physical or Mystical.
Damage Per Hit	2	Adds 1 Bonus HP Damage per hit.	1 Action		For passives, or multiple damage-type techniques, this bonus HP damage must state whether it buffs Physical or Mystical.
Dr Pierce	.5	Removes 1 DR before Damage	1 Action

General Chart Clean-up. Added new section for "RP Effects". This is where all of the RP based effects will be posted. Added 'Matter Movement' chart to RP Effects.

As a general disclaimer; Numbers are still subject to change as we figure out how the balance is. We apologize in advance. We are striving for a better, more fun experience for all of our players.

Chart Stuff:

Note update for Cleanse. "A target is suffering from a tech that gives -1d8 strength rolls on themselves, rolling a -5. +Stat Buff is 2 TP a buy. An 8 TP cleanse would cleanse 4 TP worth of effects. It would cleanse 1d2 from the negative, rolling a 2 would remove -2 bonus, leaving only -3. If they have multiple, you must choose 1."

Positive Cleanse

1+

Removes an amount of Positive effects equal to the TP investment on hit.

1 Action

Flat Increase. +1 -> +2 -> +3

A target uses a tech that gives +1d8 strength rolls on themselves, rolling a +5. +Stat Buff is 2 TP a buy. A 4 TP Positive cleanse would remove 1d2 from the bonus, rolling a 2 would remove +2 bonus, leaving only +3. If they have multiple, you must choose 1.

Learning Changes

First change:
When you failed to learn a tech, you can attempt to learn a tech from another tree of a lower rank. You can only do this once.
IE: Bob attempts to learn Rank 4 aura, fails. Bob then can try to learn rank 3 Restoration.

Second Change:
You can attempt to learn a rank of a tech as many times as you want during the week (Once per day). You can still only learn the restricted amount already posted.

New Chart Addition

Hollow Point

TP Gained is equal to Half Rank Rounded Up

"Your healing or attack is hollow and weak. You do not include rank damage on healing or the damage roll. This cannot stack with Non-Damaging. You can still do damage and heal by adding damage and bonus to healing."

Changes To Binds and Stuns

Taking damage equal to or higher than rank breaks a Stun or Bind. Previously it was any damage. This is considered a small buff to binds and stuns due to Hollow Point and values might increase or decrease with further testing.
