   [17:05] Leigh Huet: welcome to those I don't know I am Leigh and have one of the honors of being a moderator here in Legacies
   [17:07] Leigh Huet: I will be going over a lot of things and would ask that if you have a question that it be pertaining to the area I am covering if I have not gotten to your questions then I will give you an opportunity at the end
   [17:07] Leigh Huet: I will ask that you do not do any abilities while in the class because they can be distracting
   [17:08] Leigh Huet: for those that are new I will also remind you that we are in the ooc area and I am talking to not your character but to you, though I do look forward to meeting you ICly on the game floor
   [17:08] Rune Crimson: yeah no abilities no eye pokes and no hair pulling lmao
   [17:09] Leigh Huet: ok this class is specifically will deal with your meter and using it in RP fights
   [17:09] Leigh Huet: how many of you know what round robin means?
   [17:09] Arima Blachere does.
   [17:09] Asche Fallen does as well
   [17:10] Wyld Frostwych: yup
   [17:10] vinjo Swordthain: ney
   [17:10] Leigh Huet: if unsure Round robin means giving each their turn
   [17:11] Leigh Huet: to react and act
   [17:11] vinjo Swordthain: didnt know the name but i get ya
   [17:12] Leigh Huet: this is specifically important in a RP fight
   [17:12] Leigh Huet: ok the first thing before you do get into a fight you must be sure that you have met the challenge rule
   [17:12] Leigh Huet: who can tell me what that is?
   [17:13] Wyld Frostwych: 2 lines of RP indicating what your intent is before you take an action
   [17:13] Leigh Huet: so what if I rattle off 2 quick lines of RP can I just atack now?
   [17:14] Arima Blachere: No.
   [17:14] Leigh Huet: why?
   [17:14] Asche Fallen: They need to respond
   [17:14] Arima Blachere: The other person has not gotten their turn to act and react.
   [17:14] Wyld Frostwych: you should give the other person a chance to repond
   [17:14] Leigh Huet: very good and you are correct
   [17:15] Leigh Huet: ok now we know that we are going to be in a fight what is the next thing you need to do?
   [17:16] Wyld Frostwych: I prefer to call a ST to make sure it goes right but there isnt always one available
   [17:16] Arima Blachere: Isn't it call a ST or arrange the terms with the other player if one isn't around?
   [17:17] Arima Blachere: :X
   [17:17] Arima Blachere is slow due to cramming dinner in her mouth
   [17:17] Leigh Huet: unfortunately no there isn't and we are working on that but calling for an ST is corect and yes you can work with the other players in IM in fact we encourage that all of you have a conference going even if there is not an st present
   [17:18] Leigh Huet: this helps one to keep you in an order of whos turn it is
   [17:18] Leigh Huet: this is NOT ment for you to talk to death each action and end up metagameing each other either
   [17:18] Rune Crimson: o.-
   [17:19] Leigh Huet: so now lets say Rune and I are going to RP fight
   [17:19] Leigh Huet: we have our IM
   [17:19] Rune Crimson: yeah and I kicked her butt....just kidding she would whip me
   [17:19] Leigh Huet: the next thing you want to do is make sure you have them targeted
   [17:19] Leigh Huet: for those that are new I would like for you to please turn your transpariencies on
   [17:20] Leigh Huet: that is pressing the control alt and T
   [17:20] Leigh Huet: everything is going to go red on you
   [17:20] Leigh Huet: but you will also see what it is you are to click on to get them targeted
   [17:20] Leigh Huet: their name will show in your hud where it says "target"
   [17:22] Leigh Huet: now if you are finding you are having dificulty targeting someone most likely you are clicking on your own target
   [17:22] Leigh Huet: just move your cam more to the side and you will be able to get it
   [17:22] Leigh Huet: any questions about that?
   [17:22] Wyld Frostwych: nope
   [17:22] Arima Blachere: How do you untarget someone?
   [17:23] Leigh Huet: click on the word target
   [17:23] Leigh Huet: or type /9cleartarget
   [17:23] Arima Blachere: Ah, thank you. Wasn't entirly sure on that.
   [17:23] Leigh Huet: your welcome
   [17:23] Leigh Huet: ok now you have them targeted
   [17:24] Leigh Huet: if you are in a RP fight there is only two choises you may use
   [17:24] Leigh Huet: the PvTarget
   [17:24] Leigh Huet: or the abilities in the hud
   [17:24] Leigh Huet: let me show you where you can see ALL your abilities in the hud
   [17:25] Leigh Huet: I would like all of you to go to 'mylarps'
   [17:25] Leigh Huet: if you have not alread log into the websight
   [17:25] Leigh Huet: everyone know how to get there?
   [17:25] Leigh Huet: please let me know when you are there
   [17:26] Wyld Frostwych: got it
   [17:26] Rune Crimson: there
   [17:26] Arima Blachere: Click the dice, go to menu and then character.
   [17:26] Leigh Huet: yes character
   [17:26] Leigh Huet: and then mylarps
   [17:26] Leigh Huet: under the character name for this realm click on details
   [17:27] Leigh Huet: here is the page for the details for your character
   [17:27] Leigh Huet: is everyone with me? and yes I want to hear a yes from everyone so I know I have not lost any of you
   [17:27] Arima Blachere: Yes.
   [17:27] Wyld Frostwych: yes
   [17:27] Rune Crimson: yes!
   [17:27] vinjo Swordthain: yes
   [17:28] Asche Fallen: Yes
   [17:28] Leigh Huet: good
   [17:28] Leigh Huet: now on the left the second one down says abilities
   [17:28] Leigh Huet: click on that for me
   [17:29] Leigh Huet: this is a list of all the abilities you have available to your character
   [17:29] Leigh Huet: all may be used one way or another in a RP fight as well as against NPC's
   [17:29] Leigh Huet: they must be RPd
   [17:29] Leigh Huet: before you use them
   [17:30] Leigh Huet: so say Rune had his arm around my neck and I want him to let go
   [17:30] Leigh Huet: I would then RP trying severl things but the first comes to mind is to bite him
   [17:30] Leigh Huet: eveyone can bite someone
   [17:31] Leigh Huet: depending on your character will depend on how much damage is done when they do
   [17:31] Leigh Huet: all abilities have internal dice rolls for the attempt and the resist of who you have targeted
   [17:31] Leigh Huet: you just need to RP out the results
   [17:32] Leigh Huet: so say I rp biting run he has been bitten
   [17:32] Leigh Huet: now he would RP about that bite and then RP is action of his next move
   [17:32] Rune Crimson: ouch that hurt!
   [17:32] Leigh Huet: he has two choices
   [17:32] Leigh Huet: ignore the wound
   [17:32] Leigh Huet: and do something to me
   [17:33] Leigh Huet: or heal the wound
   [17:33] Rune Crimson: or slap the shit out of her lmao.
   [17:33] Leigh Huet: if he heals that IS his action
   [17:33] Rune Crimson: just kidding
   [17:33] Leigh Huet: well you might
   [17:33] Leigh Huet: laughs
   [17:33] Leigh Huet: but it is one or the other not both
   [17:33] Rune Crimson: my pimp hand is strong! lmao
   [17:33] Leigh Huet: ok lets use another example
   [17:33] Arima Blachere: Attempt to. Chances are if you try to flat hand slap a woman that just bit you..you are going to have teeth in your palm.
   [17:34] Leigh Huet: he might depends on the result
   [17:34] Leigh Huet: and your character
   [17:34] Rune Crimson holds up his gauntleted hands. 'And she might have a mouth full of shattered teeth.' lol
   [17:34] Leigh Huet: some it just may make them more angry
   [17:34] Leigh Huet: ok another example
   [17:35] Leigh Huet: lets say I RP using shadow to break his armor
   [17:35] Leigh Huet: and it succeeds
   [17:35] Leigh Huet: he now again has two options
   [17:35] Leigh Huet: his reaction about losing his armor is a must
   [17:35] Leigh Huet: but
   [17:36] Leigh Huet: then he can chose to RP for more armor or RP his action to hurt me in some way
   [17:36] Leigh Huet: make since?
   [17:36] Rune Crimson: yep
   [17:36] Asche Fallen: Yes
   [17:36] Arima Blachere: Makes sense.
   [17:36] vinjo Swordthain: aye
   [17:37] Leigh Huet: ok I do suggest that you print out your abiliteis and have them next to you
   [17:37] Leigh Huet: I am not a hud type person and I can never find the one I want when I want it
   [17:37] Leigh Huet: so I just type them
   [17:37] Leigh Huet: study that list of abilities and find ways how YOUR character would use them
   [17:37] Leigh Huet: any questions about that list of abilities?
   [17:38] Asche Fallen: They are gestures that have to be activated, yes?
   [17:38] Leigh Huet: no
   [17:39] Leigh Huet: but you can make gestures for the ones you want
   [17:39] Asche Fallen nods
   [17:39] Leigh Huet: this is not like CCS that you really need them on hot keys unless you are meterbashing an NPC
   [17:40] Leigh Huet: because we don't meter bash each other the fights are RPd like we are discussing
   [17:40] Leigh Huet: unless you go to the combat area and then you can wail and throw all the skills you want at each other
   [17:41] Leigh Huet: it is still IC but it is a combat area and you can be meter bashed but I would say 99.9% do not go there
   [17:41] vinjo Swordthain: one question is this all ffc?
   [17:41] Leigh Huet: ffc?
   [17:41] vinjo Swordthain: rp combat
   [17:41] Leigh Huet: in the game zone yes
   [17:42] vinjo Swordthain: oh ok
   [17:42] Leigh Huet: unless you are fighting zombies, rats, bertha our NPC's
   [17:42] Arima Blachere: I was wondering what FFC stood for.
   [17:42] Wyld Frostwych: free form combat
   [17:42] vinjo Swordthain: free form combat
   [17:42] Arima Blachere: Ah, thank you!
   [17:43] Leigh Huet: that is what I call meter bashing
   [17:43] vinjo Swordthain: welcome
   [17:43] Arima Blachere sucks with abreviations.
   [17:43] Leigh Huet: hitting on each others meters till one of you gets to zero on health and you are defeated
   [17:44] Leigh Huet: and I will say in a RP fight
   [17:44] Leigh Huet: your meter will rarely get to defeated status
   [17:44] Leigh Huet: it happens but rarely
   [17:44] Leigh Huet: does that mean you can keep going like the energizer bunny?
   [17:45] Wyld Frostwych: no FFC is not meter combat, its RP combat, hence free form
   [17:45] vinjo Swordthain: completely new to me then
   [17:46] Leigh Huet: that doesn't make sence to me
   [17:46] Leigh Huet: you can RP using the PvTarget Harm and say what it is you are attempting
   [17:46] Leigh Huet: that might fall more in line with your idea of free form
   [17:47] Leigh Huet: and where I was going next
   [17:47] Leigh Huet: if you click on the blue thing that looks like a crystal
   [17:47] Leigh Huet: that is an RP die
   [17:47] Wyld Frostwych: *shrugs* thats free form combat, thats what I said
   [17:47] Leigh Huet: click on that for me
   [17:47] Leigh Huet: it is next to the icon of crossed daggers
   [17:48] Leigh Huet: the blue menu will show you PvTarget, PvAbility and Pv Environment
   [17:48] Leigh Huet: the others are number sided dice
   [17:48] Leigh Huet: we do use those when doing wards and potions
   [17:48] Leigh Huet: but rare in a RP fight
   [17:49] Leigh Huet: when in a fight you are only to use the PvTarget
   [17:49] Leigh Huet: you have three choices
   [17:49] Leigh Huet: to harm
   [17:49] Leigh Huet: to assist
   [17:49] Leigh Huet: and to discover
   [17:50] vinjo Swordthain stands up" well i dont think i'll fit in here, but at least i know that now, thanks for everything i'll be going now fair winds to every one"
   [17:50] Leigh Huet: you might want to observe
   [17:50] Leigh Huet: or not
   [17:50] Leigh Huet: ok so lets say I want to call the shadows to trip rune and make him fall on his back
   [17:51] Leigh Huet: what should I use?
   [17:51] Wyld Frostwych: PvT
   [17:51] Leigh Huet: which one?
   [17:51] Wyld Frostwych: harn
   [17:51] Leigh Huet: yep
   [17:52] Leigh Huet: if ultimatly you are wanting to harm someone in a fight this is what you use
   [17:52] Leigh Huet: not the PvAbilities
   [17:52] Leigh Huet: so in RP fights you have the list abilities I showed you and as you level you will learn more
   [17:53] Leigh Huet: or the PvTarget Harm
   [17:53] Leigh Huet: ok I have rune targeted
   [17:53] Leigh Huet: and lets say I want to take a pot of boiling water and dump it on him
   [17:53] Leigh Huet: I use the PvTarget Harm
   [17:54] Leigh Huet: there are 5 outcomes that can happen
   [17:54] Leigh Huet: critcal fail, fail, baresuccess, success, and stellar success
   [17:54] Leigh Huet: lets start with the middle one
   [17:54] Leigh Huet: baresuccess
   [17:55] Leigh Huet: lets say I was aiming for his head
   [17:55] Leigh Huet: shere did that water go?
   [17:55] Leigh Huet: where*
   [17:55] Wyld Frostwych: his left foot?
   [17:55] Leigh Huet: could be
   [17:55] Leigh Huet: I was just successful it went on him for sure but not in his face
   [17:56] Leigh Huet: ok how about success where did that water go?
   [17:56] Wyld Frostwych: his head
   [17:57] Leigh Huet: yep exactly where I wanted it to go
   [17:57] Leigh Huet: ok what if I failed
   [17:57] Asche Fallen: You don't get him
   [17:57] Leigh Huet: well the water went somewhere but not him right?
   [17:58] Leigh Huet: I like to think of it as I didn't give it enough and it sorta went on the floor in front of him
   [17:58] Leigh Huet: now lets tallk about stellar success
   [17:58] Leigh Huet: if success when to his face what happens with stellar?
   [17:59] Wyld Frostwych: does more damage, he could go blind
   [17:59] Leigh Huet: yep does more damage I think of stellar success as over achieving
   [18:00] Leigh Huet: it didn't just go on him but some around him and hurt him pretty badly
   [18:00] Leigh Huet: ok given what you already know what about critical failier?
   [18:00] Asche Fallen: You probably got yourself
   [18:00] Wyld Frostwych: you get it on yourself
   [18:00] Leigh Huet: yes you get hurt but could others as well?
   [18:01] Wyld Frostwych: anybody can get hurt in a combat zone... especially with a critical fail
   [18:01] Leigh Huet: exactly
   [18:02] Leigh Huet: so really what you want to see is success, to see stellar is heady but you didn't just get your target but if others are around hell you can even hurt yourself with that boiling water and have some of it splash back on you
   [18:03] Leigh Huet: it is all a matter of common sence
   [18:03] Leigh Huet: and this is why tri had said that you really do not need a ST for your fights
   [18:04] Leigh Huet: if you follow the basic rules make sure that you give and take, and follow the results including your own injuries then there should not be a problem becasue in the end we are all adults and friends OOC
   [18:05] Leigh Huet: my character may not like you and we could be bitter enemies
   [18:05] Leigh Huet: but that does not mean I do not like you OOCly
   [18:05] You decline Mercenary Camp, Silver Night (228, 48, 22) from A group member named Cathereine Night.
   [18:05] Arima Blachere: Oh of course not. IC and OOC are very separate.
   [18:05] Leigh Huet: we all like to hope so
   [18:05] Arima Blachere: Otherwise drama crops up so easily. Putting personal dislikes and issues into role play.
   [18:06] Leigh Huet: and exactly what we try to avoid here
   [18:06] Leigh Huet: when that happens you get somene like me in your IM box trying to help sort it aout
   [18:06] Leigh Huet: out*
   [18:06] Leigh Huet: in the end ST's and moderators are here to facilitate YOUR RP
   [18:07] Leigh Huet: and make it fun for everyone
   [18:07] Arima Blachere nods.
   [18:07] Leigh Huet: PvAbilities are for when you are wanting to do things like, raise someone from dead to full life, or put a ward on a building or say open a portal to step through
   [18:08] Leigh Huet: environmentl is what they are when you want to afect the environment
   [18:08] Leigh Huet: bust through a door
   [18:08] Leigh Huet: for instance
   [18:08] Rune Crimson: and those are not very easy lol
   [18:09] Leigh Huet: PvAbilities are not there to circumvent the PvTarget harm or abilities....and no they are not
   [18:09] Rune Crimson: Still remember when Mas acidently moved the cafe lol
   [18:09] Leigh Huet: facepalms
   [18:09] Leigh Huet: ya
   [18:10] Leigh Huet: ok now there is one thing I hope I was clear on
   [18:10] Leigh Huet: you have your action
   [18:10] Leigh Huet: you do your roll
   [18:10] Rune Crimson: I promise I had nothing to do with it other then trying to move it back lmao
   [18:10] Leigh Huet: then they react and have their action
   [18:10] Leigh Huet: then you react and have your action
   [18:11] Leigh Huet: please always keep in mind your injuries
   [18:11] Rune Crimson: I had trouble with that once in a 3 hour RP fight lords I was beat the hell up for sure.
   [18:12] Leigh Huet: that is why I always say, when is enough....enough
   [18:12] Rune Crimson: Oh it was facilitated by Vedis and it was a RP fight between Elijah we did not want to stop it
   [18:12] Leigh Huet: the blood loss alone would keep you from going like the energizer bunny
   [18:12] Rune Crimson: thats what eventually stopped Elijah
   [18:13] Leigh Huet: if you keep it plausable and keep in mind the injuries
   [18:13] Leigh Huet: you should actually have a fun time with it
   [18:13] Leigh Huet: even if that means you did not get your man there is always another time
   [18:13] Leigh Huet: and leaves open for more RP
   [18:13] Leigh Huet: any questions?
   [18:13] Arima Blachere: None here.
   [18:13] Asche Fallen: Nope
   [18:14] Wyld Frostwych: nada
   [18:14] Rune Crimson: yeah after they have killed over half the town and its on my Runes head. laughs thats how Rune things but I am just being a pain in the butt
   [18:14] Leigh Huet: I hope all of you found this helpful
   [18:14] Rune Crimson: no questions here
   [18:14] Kayla: ((Leigh Huet is in StoryTeller mode.))
   [18:14] Leigh Huet: and just a gentle reminder
   [18:14] Arima Blachere: None here!
   [18:14] Leigh Huet: if you see a player and their meter looks like this
   [18:15] Rune Crimson: this is where Leigh starts throwing stuff at us...and it hurts very badly
   [18:15] Leigh Huet: if they do not respond it is because we can't
   [18:15] Leigh Huet: se are not incharacter
   [18:15] Leigh Huet: and are part of the environment
   [18:15] Rune Crimson: their ghosts in a shelll
   [18:15] Leigh Huet: a narrator
   [18:15] Leigh Huet: that voice you hear in the background
   [18:15] Rune Crimson: the voice in the air that people look for everyday.
   [18:16] Kayla: ((Rune Shen Lung is given 1000 experience points.))
   [18:16] Kayla: ((Audra Svajone is given 1000 experience points.))
   [18:16] Arima Blachere: Understood!
   [18:16] Arima Blachere: Thank you!
   [18:16] Asche Fallen nods
   [18:16] Kayla: ((Kaiden Cross is given 1000 experience points.))
   [18:16] Asche Fallen: Thanks!
   [18:16] Rune Crimson: I should RP one day like. "Who said that!?"
   [18:16] Kayla: ((Wyld is given 1000 experience points.))
   [18:16] Rune Crimson looks around all scared like
   [18:16] Leigh Huet: nope because we are not talking either
   [18:16] Leigh Huet: smirks
   [18:16] Rune Crimson: I was kidding
   [18:16] Leigh Huet: you little shit just be glad I love you
   [18:16] Leigh Huet: laughs
   [18:17] Rune Crimson: grins
   [18:17] Leigh Huet: happy RPing all of you
