Dropping of the Vale

[lilithsboy]

New Game idea.


The setting for this game will be present day real world with a twist. In this deminsion some people have a dual soul and that second soul is some supernatural being. The vale that splits these souls in two has officially dropped. In other words Vampires, Werewolves, Nymphs and what have you will be running around quite free. Those who are strictly human have found that the Otherwolders are simply too volitile to allow to live. 

Pick your side: 
Humans: Base 40+ challenges (no max) build your well trained and armed characters in order to deal with the on coming threats of the Otherworld defend your homes and your families. 

Otherworlders: Base 40+Challenes (no max) you did not choose this you simply are who you are defend your life to the best of your ability. All otherworlders will be subject to having more stones added to me if I feel the race of the base creature should have some inherent weakness (if you make a warewolf but dont add silver as a weakness I am going to put it on there) You can remove weaknesses however stories of daywalking vampires do exist this is accomplished by forgoing the challenge bonus and paying what the challenge would give you in stones
Example Larry the warewolf would have 45 points due to his warewolf curse before adding any other challenges. Instead he decides to pay 5 rather than gaining 5 and he starts off with 35 stones to build from. 


Please note nothing about Marvel comics will be in this game unless one of you actually picks up a comic book and reads in game this is an entirely different universe. PVP between factions is a very strong possibility to the point of inevitability. 


Questions comments and interest?

Why do your humans get more stones than your otherworlders?

[AzinDine]

It might be possible Dionon, that the humans don't have access to things like Force Blast and energy attacks. Possibly psionics. Though I will be interested in that answer as well.
Also, as these are humans, are the max stats at 3, or because the veil dropped(a little VotM?) can we increase that?

What would the limits be for humans?

[lilithsboy]

Humans do not get any more than what you would be able to accomplish with money training in the present day. Psionics are actually a no. They will play the political game and there will be more of them then the otherwolders. But they are capped at human maximums. They must make up for it with wit and connections.

Otherworlders are not limited to what they can accomplish the max 3 is nonexistent, and psionics and forceblast ect are a go

[Dionon]

That really didn't answer my question... I mean, I could build a human with 50 stones that would take out any Otherworlder built that isn't cheese log. That's kinda not fair to Otherworlders... Maybe increase the stone count to 40? Just to make things a bit more even? Cause as it stands now, I wouldn't touch Otherworlders with a ten foot pole.

[lilithsboy]

Otherworlders also can take challenges that are not applicable to humans. The points as they stand now are going to be at 40 as soon as you add mutant and looks inhuman. 2+3 any special vulnerabilities are going to also help close that gap. The reason I was droping the Otherworlders so low is because if I do not they simply will out stone any human build.

[Goats]

any human built on 50 stones is going to be a monster, I dont even know if I could build anything satisfactory "human" on 50 stones

50 w exactly. Now not everyone has to build this but the fact of the matter is I want very highly trained people not your average joe fighting these monsters.

[Dionon]

I guess I'll try this out. Couldn't hurt, and you're doing a good job in your other game, so yeah

[lilithsboy]

If yall think the Humans should be droped may I ask what point totals would better fit?

(I do want there to be a reason to play both.)

[Dionon]

I'd honestly give them both the same starting point... 40 + Whatever in Challenges...

[lilithsboy]

Okay if thats what yall want to do I will edit the original

[Dionon]

Well it is fair... I mean with 50 stones I could build a smarty character that can genetically engineer an army of rabbits into Otherworld Killing Monsters... But with 35 stones, I could barely build someone like Cyclops properly. (He's just an example because he costs 27 stones before flaws normally)

[lilithsboy]

The technology to genetically engineer rabbits into that does not exist. Nither will power armor and the like we are going off of what is possible in today's world. As such Genetic engineer will be more used for cloning and creating bio weapons.

[Dionon]

So... I do have a question. Are Otherworlders going to be Humans that transform into their mythological counterparts, or are they going to just be their mythological counterparts... Cause I've made a Phoenix (Not THE Phoenix), and I'm wondering how that's going to work, you know... in game.
