Legend of the Crimson Lotus (Fantasy Adventure RP)

True.

@ KSPAM: I mean the berserk thing.

What part of it makes her invincible? It just makes her really strong and unable to feel pain.

Also, I've edited the other spells you objected to.

Er, add that to the fact that Dark Elves are stupidly hard to kill...she'll just keep coming after you, whatever you do.

See what I mean?

... okay yeah, now I see what you mean. Pity though. I wanted to give her some kind of berserker mode

It doesn't make sense to me to see an ELF of all people have some ridiculous durability. As long as a berserk mode.

Actually, elves tend to make humans look like frail meatbags...

in what?

I have yet to read something where Elves were more durable than Humans.

So Life Drain. Would that go under Enhancement because it can partially heal me? Or Bane because it has an obvious effect on enemies? (Or were Bane spells only effective for allies? I'm a little dumb sometimes, sorry.)

Eragon. Granted, the first books were kinda shitty.

@ Life Drain: Definitely Bane.

I wanted to portray elves like that because normally they're really weak and can't take a punch, so I thought it'd be cool if elves were more forest-y type dudes who were really good at surviving and hunting, like animals. And since a lot of animals have backup organs and stuff...

Granted, they're technically only as durable as humans, so you can stab them and it would have just about the same effect (i.e. pointy end goes in other man). It just wouldn't kill them. To an elf, a stab wound is a minor inconvenience. Getting shot in the heart with an arrow is "having a lousy day". Decapitation is really the only way to make sure an elf is dead, and even then you have to hack through two spinal columns.

....And how do you kill them, then? That sounds...really...I dunno. How about a headshot?

If you insist, though, I'll just scale up the RP diffivulty! - Evil Grin -

Also: It's been 48 hours since I've opened sign-ups...and there is only literally one MC application. Do we just accept her now, or do we wait a bit more?

Can we please not have Elves as Highlanders?

I agree. It just sounds...I dunno.

@Grim: You said it yourself, man: it's only been two days. Chill out.

I'm largely exaggerating for comedic effect. Getting stabbed still hurts, and headshots would kill them, yeah. And it's not as bad as you're making it out to be. They're perfectly killable, it just takes a bit more effort, and elves having all these redundant organs should more or less be common knowledge. Double tapping is in full effect here. Plus, most elves aren't physically strong enough to challenge anyone to 1v1 combat. That's why dark elves are such an anomaly in elven culture, because they've effectively traded a portion of their magical abilities for more strength.

To get a better idea of what I mean, this should give you a good idea of what an elf's skeletal structure looks like.◊ They have at least two of every organ as well, but beyond that they're no more difficult to kill than anyone else. They don't have rhino skin or anything.

"Redundant Organs"

Can we not have Elvish Space Marines either?

Traditional elves can suck it

...Can we please just stop this now? Really? KSPAM wants elves to be bit tougher? Fine. Don't overdo it. Scale back.Compromise! Don't make them demigods.

Rom wants balance? Fine. Don't just toss vague insults. Tell us what you want, in detail if possible. Help us out here.

Discussion thread is up.

Yep, picking the one without the spelling error. Can't we just edit the first post in a discussion thread, Grim?

Yeah Grim, disregard that last message, he still wants to try his hand at it.

The wait continues...

Also: To all MC applications: The Crimson Armor is personalized to the wearer and very intricate, at that.

Also, it giving you an extra-strong weapon? Totally cool.

@Grim: Noted.
