How To RP On This Forum (Must Read)

by **Jisenki** March 22nd 2008, 6:08 pm

If you haven't noticed yet, this forum uses a different form of RPing, which includes the use of HP, attack points for specific attacks, and dice. On this forum, your character will win or lose their battles based on the dice you use and how skillfully you use them.

Types of Dice

Spoiler:

Although there is a different style of RPing, you must make sure that you don't forget the original way of RPing, which is expressing the actions of your characters and the things around them through typing. The dice feature simply modifies that gameplay and old style of RPing but the general concept is still the same.

To start RPing, someone will need to make a post to start things off. The first post won't include any dice but it will be an introduction. Only during the second post will a person be able to use the die and begin RPing.

Note: The option to roll a dice is only available if you click the Post Reply button. Using the Quick Reply box will not permit you to roll a dice.

Dice Chain Explained

Spoiler:

The dice follows a chain-like pattern, in which you are only able to use a specific dice after another dice is played.
Below is the chain with the dice on the left being the first dice and the second one being the dice used in response to the first:

Attack Dice->Counter Dice
Attack Dice->Evade Dice
Attack Dice->Defense Dice
Defense Dice->Special Dice*
Evade Dice->Special Dice*
Counter Dice->Special Dice*
Item Dice->Special Dice*
Special Dice->Evade Dice
Special Dice->Defense Dice
Special Dice->Special Dice*
Escape Dice->Special Dice*

~Escape Dice can be used before or after any dice due to their properties and doesn't always become part of a chain~

*Due to the wide possible effects that a Special Dice can have, a Special Dice can be chained to any type of dice

-As you can see, you can use an Counter Dice in response to an Attack Dice, which as its name states, will allow you to counter an attack used against you if conditions are met.

-An Evade Dice can also be used in response to an Attack Dice. The Evade dice will allow your character to avoid damage from an incoming attack so long as the dice conditions are met.

-A Defense Dice can be used to defend and block an incoming Attack Dice or Special Dice that has Offensive Properties. Based on the attack used in response, it may be smarter to use an Evade dice or Defense dice specifically.

-An Evade dice can also be used in response to a Special Dice with Offensive properties, but be careful as not every Special technique is offensive. Some techniques are defensive and supplementary.

-A Defense Dice can be used in response to a Special Dice just like an evade dice can be used, but as mentioned earlier, use your dice wisely.

-Item Dice are different than the other dice mentioned as they don't directly have anything to do with a character. Item Dice can be used to Capture creatures, Summon creatures, Summon Special Items, or all Puppets to attack, making them much harder to use. Unlike the other dice, these dice don't fall under the rule that only 2 dice can be used. An Item Dice can be used as a 3rd Dice in the turn, making their usefulness and value high.

~~Note: Only two dice can be used per turn [under ordinary circumstances] ~~

Since I've explained what the dice are used for, I'll explain what each individual dice does and what situations they are used in.

Dice Effects

Spoiler:

The basic method for battling isn't too difficult to comprehend. Each player uses a character that has their own sets of techniques, items, creatures, equipment, and weapons that will aid them. Players take turns rolling dice to perform different actions with their characters based on approved skills and other things that are equipped. Each character has Health Points and Tsukara (Skill Points). The first character to forfeit or have their Health Points reduced to 0 loses. Every turn, players try to reduce the opposing character's Health Points by using dice. For each action performed with a dice, Tsukara is required. Every character has different Tsukara and Health Points based on the character's level and ranking.
