things are changing......the battle is growing more heated in AHBL and GoL are becomming bolder. it HAS caught some MoE offguard from what i can see.

we need to make sure we remain cutting edge and to that end.....its time to discard some character types and create new ones.....we also need to examine the Character Type power tables and see where they can be improved as well as the General MoE power table.

if anyone here as any further suggestions as to how to make sure we keep our appeal as well as our cutting edge. change is always a good thing.


if you have ANY ideas or suggestions, please list them here. im going to go through the suggestions thread inside the crone's cave and see if there is anything there we can use as well.

a timely response is appreciated from all who have access
 
One of the things that I have been thinking about is something along the lines of a plague power perhaps for the undead species. Contaminate the GoL with allforst of illness.
 
Also perhaps getting rid of some of the species that we have no members of, I don't think we have any Shamans or evil Paladins. Perhaps they need an update/upgrade. I will check them out and see if I can figure anything out that might be helpful.
 
I agree. We should get rid of the species that just dont have as much to offer as the others... and the species that aren't in use.
 
Yes I agree on this.. there are a few that aren't beeing used.. we should get rid of those and maybe come up with new ones? :)
 
How about a necromancer species. Nice and evil sounding. Yes I deliberately typed it that way, lol. There could also be Ghosts, poltergiests, the restless dead, something along those lines. I would also like to see a dark priest/priestess species and a male specific species. We have Banshees, Sirens and Harpies for the ladies but what for the guys?
 
oh definately......we need to get rid of the character types that are not at all used (shamans, shadow knights, etc)

and yes, we can create male specific species. we DO have warlocks and titans (while they COULD Be played by females...they are most often associated with males) but Ikaris, ill leave YOU to come up with those.

also i think we should try to branch out and make some new character types.......i like the Necromancer, i also like the Ghost/Poltergiest........i have noticed that the GoL are preoccupied with Witches. we have "evil witches" which are patterned after the "Darkside Sisters" ( from the charmed episode: Bride and Gloom) but perhaps we should expand on that?

ive got some members cooking up new tailsman ideas......now we just need some new enchantments. im starting to think we need to shift some of the tailsman power tables around....to grant more power at each level......since the GoL rely so heavily on them and they seem to have multi functions....

im planning on adding spells to the Darkhold to combat molecular acceleration.


Titania, i remember you saying you were going to ammend some of the character types' power tables? which ones were you planning to update?
 
I could go in and add just extra stuff to the species :) I would post it here first :) Because some species I feel could be more with a little tweaking ;) Is that alright? I agree we need more male oriented species!
 
lol, I started that... i guess i just got sidetracked away from it. i know i did the first two or three already, but i can't remember which ones the were.
 
Okay folks and folkettes, I have been working on some new species for us. Bear with me and give me your thoughts. I have 5 of them for your perusing pleasure, yes I am a little brain fried at the moment. ;)

Poltergeist:

The restless dead are those whose mortal or immortal lives have come to an end but are unable or unwilling to go on to their final resting place due most often to strong emotional ties and a burning desire for vengeance. Remaining in the mortal realms, these spirits are often filled with rage and use their newfound abilities to torment those who are still living.

Powers: Intangibility, invisibility, telekinesis, empathic manipulation (fear projection), spiritual possession, and spectral energy projection.

Level One: Intangibility (gains the ability to manifest physically for brief periods at level 3), limited telekinesis (able to move objects of 10 pounds or less), limited invisibility (transparency), ability to throw spectral energy balls (treat as demonic energy balls).

Level Two: Heightened Telekinesis (now able to lift up to 50 pounds), empathic manipulation (create feelings of dread and impending doom in up to 2 people), full invisibility (they become visible when attacking).

Level Three: Intangibility (able to now manifest physically for short periods, up to 3 posts, no more than twice in any given battle, though this makes them vulnerable to physical attacks), heightened telekinesis (now able to lift up to 100 pounds or multiple objects with a combined weight of 100 pounds), empathic manipulation (able to create true fear in a target)

Level Four: Intangibility (able to manifest physically for longer periods up to 6 posts, no more than three times in any given battle and again this makes them vulnerable to physical attacks), heightened telekinesis (now able to lift up to 300 pounds or multiple objects with the combined weight of 300 pounds), spectral lightning (able to cause moderate damage)

Level Five: Intangibility (now able to manifest physically for much longer periods of time, up to 10 posts, no more than 4 times in any given battle, though this makes them vulnerable to physical attacks), spectral lightning (able to cause severe damage or even death), limited spiritual possession (able to possess the body of a target for up to 2 posts and up to 2 times in any given battle, access only to physical abilities of being possessed)

Level Six: Complete possession (able to possess the body of a target for up to 5 posts and up to 3 times in any given battle, complete access to ALL the target’s abilities; physical, mental, magical)

**Note** Due to their natural state of intangibility, Poltergeists are able to make physical contact with other immaterial beings.
 
This one is just cause I am twisted like that! ;)


Lepers/Typhoids

Also known as Plague Bearers, these tormented beings are the repositories of all manners of illnesses and ailments. Those of this line are the descendants of Pandora, who released disease upon mankind when she opened the box given to her by the Greek Gods. Pandora became the first of the Typhoids due to her exposure to the box’s contents, spreading disease and chaos wherever she went. Her descendants retain her curse and pursue their vengeance by spreading the diseases they carry throughout the mortal world. Lepers (the males of the line)/Typhoids (the females) are extremely long lived, many living for centuries unless vanquished. Typhoids and Lepers share a curious affliction, when they first come into their powers, their bodies are twisted with disease and are terrible to look at but as they progress, their looks improve dramatically until at the highest levels they become stunning.

Powers: Contamination, immunity to disease, blinking, heightened strength, invulnerability, limited invisibility, and intangibility.

Level One: Blinking, Contamination (able to inflict minor diseases along the par of colds and minor flues), immunity to disease. Appearance is hideous.

Level Two: Contamination (able to inflict more severe diseases and ailments that left untreated could severely harm a target), limited invulnerability (become more resistant to injury as their bodies strengthen), limited super strength (able to lift up to 250 pounds above their heads without strain), limited invisibility (able to start blending into the background when they wish to be ignored). Appearance looks like a severely ill person.

Level Three: Contamination (able to inflict life threatening illnesses on a target), limited super strength (able to lift up to 300 pounds above their heads without strain), limited invulnerability (their bodies become able to deflect non magical sharp objects like knives), limited invisibility (now able to blend chameleon like with their surroundings). Appearance approaches human normal.

Level Four: Contamination (able to inflict immediate life threatening illnesses on a target. Healing must be done within 3 posts or the victim will die), limited super strength (now able to lift 500 pounds above their heads without strain), limited invulnerability (able to deflect all non magical weaponry including bullets), true invisibility, limited intangibility (may become intangible for one post up to 3 times in a given battle). Appearance is slightly above human normal.

Level Five: Contamination (able to inflict immediate life threatening illnesses on a target. Healing must occur within 2 posts or the victim will die), limited super strength (able to lift up to 1000 pounds above their heads without strain), limited invulnerability (able to deflect some magickal weaponry, non magickal weapons are able to be ignored), limited intangibility (able to become intangible for 3 posts up to 3 times in a given battle). Appearance is very attractive.

Level Six: Contamination (able to inflict immediate life threatening illnesses on a target. Immediate Healing must be sought or the victim will die), intangibility (able to become intangible for up to 6 posts up to 5 times in a given battle). Appearance is extremely attractive, professional model level.
 
A more interesting species than the dark lighters, imo.

Fallen Angels

Once beings of light and joy, these creatures rebelled against their leaders and were cast down for their crimes. Immortal, beautiful and bitter, they love nothing more than destroying the works of the forces of good. Most of these winged messengers have been imprisoned within a dark void, but those who have managed to escape want vengeance.

Powers: True Flight, limited shapechanging (human form only), Fire manipulation, Healing, emotion manipulation, sonic scream, invulnerability.

Level One: Gliding (becomes True Flight at level two). Fire manipulation (may not create fire, may manipulate small fires), Healing (able to heal minor non life-threatening wounds)

Level Two: True Flight, shapechanging (may assume one human form only-extremely good looking), emotion manipulation (may now cast an aura of Awe and of Devotion-targets want to help the Angel not harm them).

Level Three: Limited invulnerability (now immune to most fire based attacks), fire creation (able to create fires at this level as well as manipulate them). Healing (able to heal most moderate injuries)

Level Four: Sonic Scream/Voice of Judgement (able to produce a sonic scream capable of knocking a victim unconscious. Reign of Fire (may now rain fire down on an area the size of a football field)

Level Five: Invulnerability to all but magical fires. Healing (able to heal anything but life threatening injuries), sonic scream/Voice of Doom (may kill with sustained use of the scream)

Level Six: Invulnerability to all fire. Healing (able to heal life threatening injuries) emotion manipulation (only the most evil or pious of beings can bear the thought of harming the Angel at this level.)
 
One of the two Male Specific species, I tweaked the Shaman class.

Druids

On a par with evil witches and wizards, these evil men control nature itself. They practice dark rites in their quest for power. Physically more frail than most other members of the MoE, they make up for this lack with advanced spell casting abilities.

The second of the Male Species and hopefully more intersting than Russell Crowe.

Gladiators

Harkening back to the days of Rome, these men are among the greatest of fighters. Dedicated to warfare in all its forms, they are its undisputed masters. Gladiators are among the few races known able to resist Valkyries and will attack the women warriors on sight.

Powers: Limited conjuration (weapons and shields only), super strength, resistance to injury, teleblinking, physical memory (may copy any non magical move once they have seen it performed), magical weapon, Poisonous blood/Death Touch

Level One: Super strength (increases with level), limited conjuration (may conjure a basic weapon or shield)

Level Two: The Gladiator is now granted a magical weapon, his choice of a magically enhanced Sword or Trident. Swords carry the magical ability to emit flames; the Tridents are able to cast jets of water. If separated from the Gladiator, the weapons will fly back to the warrior’s hand.

Level Three: teleblinking (the Gladiator may now teleblink objects within his line of sight to him or deflect an incoming object by teleblinking it), resistance to injury (the Gladiator’s skin begins to harden, approaches the level of leather armor)

Level Four: Physical memory (the Gladiator is now able to copy most non magical moves once he has seen it performed) Resistance to injury (the skin continues to harden approaching the level of bronze armor and now has a distinct golden color to the skin)

Level Five: Physical memory (the Gladiator is now able to copy any non-magical move and may combine two physical attacks into one. The warrior is also considered to be a master of most known martial arts), Resistance to injury (his skin has now become like steel armor and has a distinct golden sheen to it), Poisonous blood (the Gladiators very blood now has become poisonous to his enemies and will cause them to weaken quickly unless healed within 3 posts.)

Level Six: Death Touch (The Gladiators skill is such now that he can deliver a death blow by simply touching any unprotected skin), Poisonous blood (the toxins in the blood are now at such a high level that anyone coming into contact with it must seek immediate healing or die.)
 
I am going to post the new species in the war room for review and feedback. Not quite sure why I only posted them here, unless it was because we were talking about it here.
 
Character Types to AXE

Cyborgs
BeastLords
ShadowKnights
Enchanter/Enchantress


we have at least ONE of every other character type. i need a timely response on everyone to make sure we are agreed on deleting these four character types?
 
lets get the updates in place. tonight, when i set up the meeting, i will announce the new Tailsmans.

Ikaris, id like YOU to change the catalogue of species. take out the character types we agreed on removing..and add in the ones youve created.

Titania, add in the new spells to the Darkhold that Ikaris created. be sure to credit him as the author and follow the spell format.


I'll update the member roster now.....and make sure that our other information threads are up to date.
 
Great to see we're loosing the old species and adding new ones ;)

I really feel MoE is changing for the better and we're going to be better then ever in 2004 :D
