‹OoC› ~Mirror Magic: Dreams of a Resolution~

Discussion in 'Out of Character Discussion' started by Mystletainn, Mar 11, 2014.

Page 1 of 2
  1. This shall serve the purpose of the Out of Character discussion for MM:DoaR. Allez, ask me questions if you would like!

    [Merci Espy for summarising well my explanation. <3]
    • Two quantities are without fail awarded to units at the end of the chapter: Level XP/Lv XP, or simply EXP; and Skill XP/SXP. The quantity awarded of both are based on your performance in battle.
    • Level XP goes towards the unit's level, which is incremented by 1 when Lv XP requirements for the current level are satisfied. For Lv 1 units, that requirement is 10 Lv XP. Upon Levelling Up, the new requirement is indicated by the Game Master—here, @"Mystletainn".
    • Skill XP is awarded at the end of each chapter. This is a composite of Stat Points and Skill Points. You may expend: 4 SXP for an R–Ability; 2 SXP for an S–Ability; or 1 SXP for an A–Skill for the A–Ability of your current class. Upon gaining SXP, you must spend on any combination of skills at least 2 SXP. The rest may be spent on stats, or they may be hoarded for a later date. 1 SXP boosts any of your FOR, LUC, IMG, RSL by 1 point; and your HP or DP by 5 points. 3 SXP may be used to boost your Focus/FCS by 1 point.
    • Stat boosts will be awarded to units that Level Up. This will depend on the general build of the character, and also upon the current stats. A mage–type character will not receive a major boost to FOR and a minor boost to IMG, and a tank will not receive major boosts to offensive stats as opposed to to defensive stats, and so forth.

    Lava note: All that said, vis–à–vis the SXP, I shall not allow a unit with 7 SXP to gain 7 A–Skills in a row! Use your prudence, please. <3 Also, I advise that lower levelled characters not expend SXP on Focus!~

  2. RE: ~ Mirror Magic : Dreams of a Resolution ~

    'k all, I feel like I need to explain a few fundamental facets of Lava's RPs that might be unfamiliar to you all.

    [I'll tidy this up later; perhaps this can serve as an "Updates and Info" post.]

    1. Always read the Field spoiler in the Stage ("Turn") posts. They tend to update/contain with important stuff ad goings on, and everything about the Atmosphere (important!) is contained in that.
      • Most of the Atmospheres tend to Dreamfont/Healfont you a little without actually Bestowing that buff on you. Viz. beginning of each Player Phase you tend to get +5% DP (commonly) or some more HP (uncommonly) or other little Buffs (and also Debuffs—as you can see Phantasmal Light Bestows jack squat in good things).
    2. Mana Cycle is Dream (Energy/Point) Cycle. Indicating Mana Cycle as a command is tolerated, though, as some are used to refreshing Mana and not Dream energy.
    3. XP distribution is dealt with slightly differently. It's based on a scale (think: logarithmic function—well, it literally is a log function) as opposed to +5 XP for winning/+1 XP for chest opening/+1 XP for all the other blah, et cetera. It's also skewed to benefit lower–levelled characters, like in Pokémon Black—but performing better overall also grants you a little XP to spend.
    4. Skill points work to increase stats -or- add skills. Of course, you can only avail upto 2 As per Level. Rs are 3 a pop, Ss are 2, and As are 1 per, per usual, and 1 point raises a stat by 1 (except FCS and CLR, which are raised organically by level ups), and +5 to HP/DP. REDUNDANT. PLEASE READ OP.
    5. Critical hit rates, Drop rates, and a lot of other luck–based things are also dependent on a skewed function.

    If there's any other queries I'm sure we'll be happy to explicate. Ask here, please. I'll add more info later.

    I'll post as soon as I possibly can. I'm super busy as of late and will have more free time fairly soon.

    How Can Mirrors Be Real If Our Eyes Aren't Real.

  5. RE: ~ Mirror Magic : Dreams of a Resolution ~

    Actual comments this time! Are we going to get to see the enemy profiles (i.e. what abilities they have in their arsenals), or do those remain hidden from us?

    Also, in the spoiler that shows our party details, B. Rose is currently missing her Profession. Just a minor thing!

    The new enemies also aren't on the map.

    Texted Lava. Enemy profiles and corrections on their way shortly, and she sends apologies.

  8. RE: ~ Mirror Magic : Dreams of a Resolution ~

    I do apologise! The post is being updated currently, and the enemy profiles will also be on their way very shortly. I must stress that the Phobos' profile will, for the time being, be suppressed.

    You are a lovely lot who post so quickly. I love you all! <3 Expect an update post somewhat soon.

    @Mystletainn

    Shit you told me about which to remind you to make official explanations about (good amount of this came up some point/other in chat too):
    - Skill XP
    - The premise thing
    - Focus and Celerity
    - Enemy Profiles

    So the thing didn't spit out any more blobs. Permission to murder it? o3o

  12. RE: ~ Mirror Magic : Dreams of a Resolution ~

    PSA: I fucked up on the Inflictionary. Made mistakes on the status Sapped and Berserk. Fixed accordingly.

    Sapped: initially stated to have reduced HP, but actually reduces DP. Examination of the "Sapping" Buff confirms this.
    Bersek: raises the dominanat attack stat, not just FOR.

    Irouk; not sure. I'm honestly not comfortable here… maybe kill the other Raeshtorjhas first?

  13. RE: ~ Mirror Magic : Dreams of a Resolution ~

    I honestly say that we should just do it... I mean... Yeah...

  14. RE: ~ Mirror Magic : Dreams of a Resolution ~

    I wasn't sure if the Thing in the IC was something that was supposed to be an experience with all the characters, but I treated it as such anyway. If I'm wrong to assume that I'll change it.

    Sorry for deaths by play on words. (Honestly it's not really even a pun...)
     
    #14 The Kakuzato, May 4, 2014 at 1:20 AM
  15. RE: ~ Mirror Magic : Dreams of a Resolution ~

    Yeah Lava says what's in the IC has happened at some point to everyone in the party at some point or the other before "present day" events. I'd treated it the same way myself earlier.

  16. RE: ~ Mirror Magic : Dreams of a Resolution ~

    Going back a bit up in the thread, I'd say go for it @"Irouk Inverse". Nate has already taken down one of the blobmeisters and I'll be having Lissa take down the other promptly. So yeah!

    @"Silver", when you are able, you can also have Black Rose focus on the Phobos.

  18. RE: ~ Mirror Magic : Dreams of a Resolution ~

    Just for the record, before the update...

    Ypnebus should not still have 5/11 HP in the "Enemies" tab. Alban already knocked it down to 1/11 last turn - it was merely never updated in the tab.

  19. RE: ~ Mirror Magic : Dreams of a Resolution ~

    Much obliged - this has been fixed~

  20. RE: ~ Mirror Magic : Dreams of a Resolution ~

    Okay everyone before you start freaking out, I'd like to show a few things.

    So... Yeah... Let's start Basic Attacking this thing and see what happens and hope to god that we do not get our asses handed to us.
