Class: 2010 June 13: Potion Making
(2 posts)-
FIRST PART OF THIS CLASS WAS LOST WHEN I CRASHED SO HAVE JUST ADDED MY NOTES:
1. Intro & basic skills
a. In case some of you don’t know me. Im Faith and Im a moderators & ST (storyteller) here.
b. You might be wondering why potions, discovery & wards are all lumped together in this class.
c. This is because they all require a ST both to set up and for the future storyline. Because they either affect the environment after the perpetrator has left the scene or in the case of the potion, may be used when the creator is not around.
d. In the future you may all be able to carry out the resulting actions (not the creation)by yourselves but that is not possible at the moment.
e. Tri is working on an API that can be placed in a state ball or an object which will interact with your character and give information based on your dice rolls but this isn’t ready yet.
f. Any questions?2. Dice rolls
a. OK in order to do potions, discovery & wards you need to be able to dice roll
b. Have you all been to a dice roll class?
c. You all know about PvE, PvT & PvA?
d. Can anyone tell me what they mean?
e. PvE = Player vs Environment (physical where there is nothing to target),
f. PvT = Player vs Target (physical where there is a character or NPC to target) &
g. PvA = Player vs Ability (Magic or learned ability, target where possible)
h. These are the main dice rolls and all you really need to use now with the exception of durations & quantity rolls
i. We use d10, d6 & d4 for duration and quantity rolls; the number depending on the outcome of the main dice roll.
j. Any questions so far?
k. For information about dice rolls see the following links:
• http://larps.net/lc/forum/support
• http://legacies1891.com/community/forum.php?id=43. Your character’s abilities and weaknesses
a. Have you all been to a character development class and/or have a character sheet stating your characters abilities and weaknesses?
b. It is worth doing this as it helps you know in any given situation how your character might react.
c. In these instances it would help you decide how your character would set a ward or what evidence your character might leave behind to be discovered or how your character would make a potion.
d. Let’s go round the room and each person give me the race one ability and one weakness their character might have. Feel free to make these up and not use your own character’s information if you wish. (It is not my intention to get any meta-gaming issues from this)TRANSCRIPT FROM CLASS STARTS HERE:
[14:37] Giovanni Malus: well, my character's strength is he is an Italian man... and perhaps also his weakness
[14:37] Faith Diesel: laughs out loud
[14:37] Faith Diesel: is that human italian Sir
[14:37] Erik Godric laughs
[14:37] Faith Diesel: its ok Mono - wb
[14:37] Monoceros Inglewood: thx
[14:37] Giovanni Malus: actually, that will do for his strength, he is still new and his weakness reamins to be discovered
[14:38] Giovanni Malus: yes, human
[14:38] Faith Diesel: gio - im not asking that you give your own weakness
[14:38] Faith Diesel: that would be unfair
[14:38] Faith Diesel: but an example
[14:39] Giovanni Malus: sorry, this is still new to me, a weakness - unable to swim, thus fearful of water
[14:39] Faith Diesel: thats a good one
[14:39] Giovanni Malus: of boats or weak bridges
[14:39] Giovanni Malus: thank you
[14:39] Faith Diesel: randal?
[14:40] Randal SpiritWeaver: hmm i am new let me try this if i were a neko my strength could be stealth and weakness maybe water?
[14:40] Faith Diesel: k - Giada
[14:41] Giada Bedrosian: Um, well, as a vampire obvious strenth and ability to regenrate from wounds but weakness is sunlight
[14:41] Faith Diesel: good examples
[14:41] Faith Diesel: Erik
[14:43] Erik Godric: I'll just throw it out there. Another vamp one. sort of immortality but the disablity to just drink from anyone
[14:43] Faith Diesel: well no character can be immortal - they must be able to be damaged in some way
[14:44] Erik Godric: yes
[14:44] Faith Diesel: and i had not thought that needing to drink was a weakness though I suppose if you were prevented that might be a problem
[14:45] Faith Diesel: so yess can see some rp in that
[14:45] Faith Diesel: Char?
[14:45] Faith Diesel: were you here for the question - one ability and one weakness
[14:45] Chartruse Skytower: a fae's weakness if physical strength, they're small build, yet highly magical- they tend to not fare well in battles of muscle.
[14:46] Faith Diesel: good - but mumbles about letting out fae secrets
[14:46] Faith Diesel: and an ability
[14:46] Faith Diesel: magical will do
[14:46] Faith Diesel: last Mono
[14:46] Tamryn Khandr: oh ok
[14:46] Chartruse Skytower laughs
[14:48] Faith Diesel: and Danka's ready after Mono
[14:49] Faith Diesel: you can choose a random race and give one of each
[14:49] Faith Diesel: i dont mind
[14:50] Faith Diesel: am bit biased about faes
[14:50] Chartruse Skytower: :D
[14:50] Faith Diesel: why dont you do yours Danka while Mono is thinking
[14:51] Monoceros Inglewood: ooopsss ... sorry
[14:52] Fate: "is itching to get to the potion making"
[14:52] Monoceros Inglewood: what am I expected to do ?
[14:52] Faith Diesel: one ability and one weakness
[14:52] Monoceros Inglewood: of who ?
[14:52] Faith Diesel: any race of your choosing
[14:52] Faith Diesel: though we have covered vampires & angels a litle bit
[14:52] Monoceros Inglewood: hmmm .... demons ... physical strength but very edgy
[14:53] Monoceros Inglewood: and bad tempered
[14:53] Faith Diesel: think to use their temper against them - grins
[14:53] Faith Diesel: k - off you go danka
[14:53] Monoceros Inglewood: they can be tricked into an argument very easily
[14:53] dankablanka Grau: a demon -strength -an ability to posess human souls and make them act as he wants ,weakness -if the soul resists it is forcing a demon to stay in abyss for a couple days to regenerate it's weakened strenghts (a bit complicated i know-lol)
[14:54] Faith Diesel: good ability
[14:54] Giovanni Malus nods
[14:55] Faith Diesel: weakness - i think would be the draining of all that power to possess the soul
[14:55] Tamryn Khandr: Elves = high magical abilities.....poor physical strenght
[14:55] Faith Diesel: great - i think we have done everyone
[14:55] Tamryn Khandr: also some demons if you know their true name you can control them
[14:55] Faith Diesel: oooo - Tam - thats a great one
[14:56] Faith Diesel: any questions before we move on to potion making
[14:56] Giada Bedrosian shakes her head
[14:56] Giovanni Malus: nope
[14:56] Tamryn Khandr: no4. Potion Making
[14:56] Faith Diesel: kk - making a potion
[14:57] Faith Diesel: let me give you some examples of potions fate has made in legacies
[14:57] Faith Diesel: Let me give you some examples of Fate’s potions. She has made in the past: Itchy cake, Cinnamon love candy, Devil’s cherry syrup (poison), Floppy & Busy biscuits, Memory retrieving potion.
[14:58] Faith Diesel: they go from easy to difficult
[14:58] Faith Diesel: in no particular order
[14:59] Faith Diesel: Now my character is a fae so my potions tend to be about mischief, though I also make things for other people to order. What you make and how you do it depends on your character, your rp.
[14:59] Monoceros Inglewood: hehe
[14:59] Faith Diesel: I have just put together a nc for people to fill out if they want to make a potion or enchant an object. Attempts to pass round the nc.
[15:00] Faith Diesel gave you 1. Potion/Enchanted object information nc.
[15:00] Erik Godric: ty
[15:00] Faith Diesel: did i get everyone
[15:00] Giovanni Malus: yes
[15:01] Tamryn Khandr: yes
[15:01] Monoceros Inglewood: yup
[15:01] Giada Bedrosian: yep
[15:02] Faith Diesel: now - you can just call an ST and tell them what you want to do and go from there. But if you are like me want to concentrate on the rp
[15:02] Faith Diesel: then you might want to sort out your potion in advance
[15:03] Giada Bedrosian nods
[15:03] Faith Diesel: so you are ready to tell the ST what you want to do quickly and briefly
[15:03] Faith Diesel: well thats why i did this little nc
[15:04] Faith Diesel: it asks for the basic information - though is intended to be flexible - if it doesnt quite fit change it
[15:04] Faith Diesel: Let’s have a go at filling a copy out. Im going to give you a few minutes to fill them out. Don’t spend all day. Keep them short. This is just practice.
[15:05] Faith Diesel: if you get stuck ask
[15:06] Giada Bedrosian: ok
[15:06] Faith Diesel: try and think how your character would make the potion
[15:07] Faith Diesel: ill put up one Fate did earlier as an example[15:07] Faith Diesel: 1. What does the potion/enchanted object do?
(General information about the potion/enchanted objects effects)
You drink it and it pulls out your memories in reverse order. (Needs to be strong enough to retrieve 120years of memory - client request)[15:08] Faith Diesel: i usually start with what it does
[15:10] Faith Diesel: next i think about the ingredients and what it might look smell taste like[15:10] Faith Diesel: 2. What does it look, smell, sound, feel, taste like?
(This so the user can rp the potion/enchanted object correctly)
- Looks like blue lumpy custard with ethereal wisps of blue smoke.
- Tastes like dragons sick with bug parts mixed in (earwigs & threadworms).
- Smells like dragons stomach acid mixed with compost and a slight accent of blueberry.[15:11] Faith Diesel: this one i just wanted to look like steaming blue lumpy custard
[15:11] Faith Diesel: Ingredients - (What is it made of)
Dragon stomach acid, crushed earwigs, threadworms, cornstarch, sugar, egg yolks, & blueberries.
[15:12] Faith Diesel: is everyone done
[15:12] Faith Diesel: does anyone need help?
[15:12] dankablanka Grau: yes the 3rd
[15:12] dankablanka Grau: what does it mean?
[15:13] Faith Diesel: the 3rd part is the hardest
[15:14] Faith Diesel: fill in all the rest Danka and we will come to it
[15:14] Faith Diesel: has everyone at least got what their spell does?
[15:14] Monoceros Inglewood: yes :=)
[15:14] dankablanka Grau: i have only first two
[15:14] Chartruse Skytower: yes
[15:15] Giada Bedrosian: yes
[15:15] Erik Godric: almost finished
[15:15] Faith Diesel: ok lets start with char - just what it does
[15:15] Chartruse Skytower: ok
[15:16] Faith Diesel: can you be ready to post going anti clockwise
[15:16] Faith Diesel: dont need to send it to me yet
[15:16] Chartruse Skytower: The potion generates a tail and ears on the drinker.
[15:16] Faith Diesel: giggles - good char
[15:16] Faith Diesel: mono
[15:17] Faith Diesel: need to be quicker
[15:17] Monoceros Inglewood: Converts the unbeliever to the Christian faith.
[15:17] Faith Diesel: lol
[15:17] Faith Diesel: tam?
[15:17] Tamryn Khandr: Contraceptive: Prevent Children
[15:17] Faith Diesel: giggles
[15:17] Chartruse Skytower laughs!
[15:17] Monoceros Inglewood: hahaha
[15:17] Giovanni Malus: Temporary blindness
[15:18] dankablanka Grau: its fun :)
[15:18] Faith Diesel: next, randel?
[15:19] Faith Diesel: then giada
[15:19] Faith Diesel: then erik
[15:19] Faith Diesel: then danka
[15:20] Erik Godric: ok
[15:20] Randal SpiritWeaver: turns the drinker into a monkey
[15:20] Giada Bedrosian: ok
[15:20] Giovanni Malus smiles
[15:21] Faith Diesel: can i say i particularly like monos and char because the potion suits their character
[15:21] Giada Bedrosian: You drink the potion and it causes the drinker to fall in love with the first living creature or person they see for a period of 12 hours. The person needs to willingly drink the potion. It will not work if they are forced to drink.
[15:22] Brawen smiles: I run a brothal
[15:22] Monoceros Inglewood: hahaha
[15:22] Giovanni Malus grins
[15:22] Tamryn Khandr: it fits what I do...who wants pregnent workers
[15:22] Faith Diesel: giggles - now the periods will be covered in the duration roll
[15:22] Faith Diesel: so you dont need to say 12hours
[15:22] Giovanni Malus: well, it's a fetish for some ;-)
[15:22] Chartruse Skytower: LOL
[15:22] Giada Bedrosian: oh forgot about that
[15:22] Father Monoceros will not have a drink when the dog or the fox is around
[15:22] Tamryn Khandr: we need workers..so ..of both sexes
[15:23] Maeglin Velde: I need to get an application for that job.
[15:23] Faith Diesel: laughs at Tam - then yours is good too
[15:23] Erik Godric: Ok, mine is...
The potion causes the drinker to be able to take on an ability they normally cannot for a short period of time. (I.e. a vampire can go out in sunlight.)
[15:24] Faith Diesel: danka
[15:24] dankablanka Grau: make you invisible make your feet legs and than arms and head disappear for the others sight it also wipes away your smell
[15:25] Faith Diesel: k first eriks
[15:26] Faith Diesel: yours is the most open - in that you havent been specific about which ability
[15:26] Tamryn Khandr: also able to use the meter to ..aid the person
[15:26] Erik Godric: ok
[15:26] Tamryn Khandr: so good
[15:26] dankablanka Grau: i don't understand?
[15:26] Faith Diesel: that makes the results of the dice roll harder to give the ST in advance
[15:27] Faith Diesel: or the makes the results more general but does not mean you cant do it
[15:27] Erik Godric: ok
[15:27] dankablanka Grau: kk i got it
[15:28] Faith Diesel: Danka - you need to be careful about how you word what it does in your rp
[15:28] Faith Diesel: its sounds from your post as if the torso is still visible
[15:29] dankablanka Grau: oh got it lol was not precise enough
[15:29] Faith Diesel: you could just say - makes the drinker invisible and without smell
[15:29] dankablanka Grau: just wanted to give the direction of your limps dissapearance
[15:29] Faith Diesel: just a torso would be funny
[15:29] Giovanni Malus: vanishes bit by bit, limb by limb, rather than suddenly, I thought
[15:29] Faith Diesel: giggles
[15:29] Faith Diesel: that would be good Gio
[15:30] Faith Diesel: so now lets choose one as we dont have time to rp all
[15:30] Faith Diesel: infact we are madly running over
[15:30] Faith Diesel: does anyone mind?
[15:30] Giovanni Malus: nope
[15:30] Monoceros Inglewood: oki
[15:30] Giada Bedrosian: no, Erik and I need to make dinner but we're in the same house
[15:31] Tamryn Khandr: I sadly must be elsewhere soon
[15:31] Monoceros Inglewood: half past midnight here
[15:32] Chartruse Skytower: i don't mind
[15:32] Faith Diesel: well we will be a bit longer but the main thing is to understand how to use the nc to help the STs narrate
[15:32] Chartruse Skytower: your choice faithy.
[15:32] Monoceros Inglewood: oki
[15:32] Faith Diesel: lets keep going but feel free to leave when you have to
[15:32] Giovanni Malus: ok
[15:33] Faith Diesel: tell me and ill give you the xp
[15:33] Faith Diesel: kk- now whic one would everyone like to hear all of?
[15:33] Faith Diesel:
-The potion generates a tail and ears on the drinker.
-Converts the unbeliever to the Christian faith.
-Prevent Children
-Temporary blindness
-turns the drinker into a monkey
-You drink the potion and it causes the drinker to fall in love with the first living creature or person they see
-The potion causes the drinker to be able to take on an ability they normally cannot for a short period of time. (I.e. a vampire can go out in sunlight.)
- make you invisible make your feet legs and than arms and head disappear for the others sight it also wipes away your smell
[15:34] Giovanni Malus: Char's - tail & ears sounds good
[15:34] Giada Bedrosian: yes tails and ears
[15:34] Tamryn Khandr: sure that one
[15:34] Giada Bedrosian: lol
[15:34] Faith Diesel: grins and she can stay a bit - good choice
[15:34] Brawen whispers: I also would love the love recipe
[15:34] Giovanni Malus: I assume "bigger ears" as most creatures have some form of ear
[15:35] Faith Diesel: Char have you finished your nc
[15:35] Nimue Macbeth: Or a second set of ears
[15:35] Faith Diesel: giggles - hi Nimue
[15:35] Chartruse Skytower: hrm
[15:35] Faith Diesel: we are going to rp Char's potion
[15:35] Nimue Macbeth: hello there Fate
[15:35] Chartruse Skytower: still working but ok,
[15:36] Tamryn Khandr: some of us already try to hide our ears
[15:36] Nimue Macbeth: sorry I am late...
[15:36] Chartruse Skytower: mostly done.
[15:36] Faith Diesel: doesnt have to be very detailed - just an example
[15:36] Faith Diesel: and 3rd question we can talk though as we do it if you like
[15:36] Chartruse Skytower: I havn't gotten to the rolls yet
[15:36] Chartruse Skytower: but the rest is done.
[15:37] Monoceros Inglewood: people I need to leave ...
[15:38] Fate: ((Father Monoceros is given 1000 experience points.))
[15:38] Tamryn Khandr: ok?
[15:39] Faith Diesel: yay - can i have copy char
[15:39] Faith Diesel accepted your inventory offer.
[15:41] Faith Diesel: ok let me post chars making potion bit of nc
[15:42] Faith Diesel: then Char you want to rp it and ill ST
[15:42] Chartruse Skytower: sure
[15:42] Faith Diesel: 4. How to make the potion/enchantment (Dice rolls required to be added by ST).
• Ingredients - (What is it made of)
a pinch of were fur, five drops of fae blood, and a chalice full of elven wine.
• Method - (How is it made of)
Hair is burnt into a gelatious stink, and slowly is pulled off the bottom of an iron cauldron as the elven wine is added over high heat- five drops of fae blood must be added after the mix is moved from the heat.
• Spell or incantation - (here incl. language used & words in English)
Said in Fae:
Vanity is such a shame,
Except if your a fae playing a game,
Bring to their surface ears and a tail,
Do not replace what already lays,
Instead infuse with new appendage,
Make it difficult to mend!
[15:43] Faith Diesel: thats for all of you to refer to
[15:43] Faith Diesel: want to rp up to the attempt & incantation
[15:44] Faith Diesel: then i will give you the dice roll
[15:45] Faith Diesel: it will be you chosing normally but i will go through it this timeTHE RP
[15:45] Annule Desir giggles as she flits around the kitchen, the small satchel produced from the loop on her belt. She grins as she opens the small bag.. "Zis was not easy to come by" she murmers as she sprinkles the hair into the smoking cauldron. She humms happily as she works, adding the wine and watching as the gelatinous stink seems to peel from the bottom, carefully removing the pot from the flame, she produces a small wittled bone pick and pricks her index finger, the digit dropping precious blood, sweet in aroma into the mix. She counts in her head, the five before chanting in her native tounge.
[15:46] Annule Desir: ((in Faerie)): airle ot reti ter sens airle ot reti ter see ad ter reti sens ot sens ad reti see ter reti ot see ad reti ad reti ad airle reti see muse reti ot muse ot sens
[15:46] Annule Desir: Vanity is such a shame,
Except if your a fae playing a game,
Bring to their surface ears and a tail,
Do not replace what already lays,
Instead infuse with new appendage,
Make it difficult to mend![15:45] Nimue Macbeth raise her hand " The roll would be abililty ?
[15:45] Giovanni Malus: why would someone choose normally?
[15:46] Faith Diesel: dice rolls are the responsibilty of the character not the ST
[15:46] Giovanni Malus: ahh ok
[15:46] Faith Diesel: we are trying to keep out of your rp as much as possible
[15:47] Faith Diesel: just narrate what players cannot
[15:47] dankablanka Grau: do we have to write the 4th point now?lol
[15:48] Faith Diesel: you can listen to Char's now Danka - if you have any questions I can go through yours with you later
[15:48] Faith Diesel: ok Char has posted an attempt and her incantation in fae
[15:49] Faith Diesel: All potions are Ability as Nimue said
[15:49] Faith Diesel: the question is what level
[15:49] Chartruse Skytower: i would say expert
[15:49] Faith Diesel: by ability I mean PvA
[15:49] Nimue Macbeth: I guess it depends on how strong you want it
[15:50] Nimue Macbeth: a small spell novice a big one expert ?
[15:50] Faith Diesel: ok Char - I would prob guess at skilled or expert but lets look how we might work it out
[15:50] Chartruse Skytower: well this will affect another player
[15:51] Chartruse Skytower: did you want me to roll fate?
[15:51] Faith Diesel: not yet char[15:52] Faith Diesel: if you go to the dice roll info sheet
[15:52] Faith Diesel: there are a series of 5 lists relating to abilities
[15:52] Faith Diesel:
List 1: General IC Experience Needed for an Ability:
• Novice: Anyone can do it.
• Skilled: Something that requires practice.
• Expert: Something whose livelihood gives such experience.
• Legendary: Something who is recognized and distinguished in such a field.
[15:53] Faith Diesel: we can knock out novice and legendary in this case
[15:53] Chartruse Skytower: It is either going to be skilled- or expert
[15:53] Faith Diesel: exactly
[15:54] Chartruse Skytower: since my char doesn't practice this, I would think it would be a bit harder for her- its good to know your characters limitations... this is where those weaknesses may come in.
[15:54] Faith Diesel: now its not really an attack (list 2) so we can leave that list out
[15:54] Faith Diesel:
List 3: Zone of Effect:
• Novice = Small object/area.
• Skilled = Human-sized object/area.
• Expert = Room-sized area.
• Legendary = Building-sized area.
[15:54] Faith Diesel: is the third list
[15:54] Chartruse Skytower: so we're effecting a human sized area
[15:54] Faith Diesel: it works on a human so i would say skilled
[15:54] Chartruse Skytower: so that means we're looking at PvA skilled.
[15:55] Faith Diesel:
List 4: Range:
• Novice = Touch.
• Skilled = Arm's length.
• Expert = Line of sight.
• Legendary = Anywhere in same sim.
[15:55] Faith Diesel: 4th list
[15:55] Faith Diesel: you drink it so novice
[15:56] Faith Diesel: and the last list is force (list 5)which isnt really relevant
[15:56] Faith Diesel: so we have one skilled/expert, one skilled & one novice
[15:57] Chartruse Skytower: seems like majority wins out with skilled
[15:57] Faith Diesel: in this case I would go for skilled[15:57] dankablanka Grau: i am lost with this last post
[15:57] Tamryn Khandr: May I ask something?
[15:57] Faith Diesel: yes Tam
[15:58] Faith Diesel: go ahead
[15:58] Tamryn Khandr: The focus at first is the creation of the potion....the actually sucess or failure would depend upone the player it is given to..so would the focus not be on the makers ability to create the potion.
[15:59] Chartruse Skytower: might be a determining factor in whta their potion would do if drank
[15:59] Chartruse Skytower: depending on the success of the potion.
[15:59] Fate: ((Giovanni Malus is given 1000 experience points.))
[16:00] Nimue Macbeth: Hmm would not the creator of the potion take that into consideration when making a potion.. who you are giving it to ..
[16:04] Faith Diesel: the lists are in the dice roll information sheet
[16:05] dankablanka Grau: i don't get it
[16:05] Faith Diesel: thats what we have on the lists now
[16:05] dankablanka Grau: on what lists??
[16:05] Randal SpiritWeaver: i am sorry but i must go now

[16:06] Fox Onizuka: i seem to ahve joined the party too late tto know anything thats going on.
[16:06] Faith Diesel: i will do this class again better Fox
[16:07] Faith Diesel: at the moment we are using the dice roll information sheet as a guide to whether we use a novice, skilled, expert or legendary ability roll

[16:13] Fate: ((Erik Arnhvatr is given 1000 experience points.))
[16:13] Fate: ((Lady Bedrosian is given 1000 experience points.))
[16:13] Erik Godric: bye all
[16:13] Faith Diesel: im sorry we did not get to the end
[16:14] Nimue Macbeth: I am still here
[16:14] Faith Diesel: but i think i know what to shorten
[16:14] Nimue Macbeth: fr what it is worth
[16:14] Giada Bedrosian: it was still a great class. I learned a ton
[16:14] Faith Diesel: i can stop now if you all wish
[16:14] Giada Bedrosian: bye bye
[16:14] Faith Diesel: byee
[16:15] Chartruse Skytower: up to you am stilll here
[16:15] Faith Diesel: and do again another time
[16:15] Nimue Macbeth: well if you want to explain the end I will stay
[16:15] Faith Diesel: smiles - im happy to
[16:17] Faith Diesel: lets finish then - will help me see how to shorten for next time
[16:17] Faith Diesel: let me give Fox and Nimue your notecard Char
[16:18] Chartruse Skytower: Surely.
[16:18] Nimue Macbeth: ok
[16:18] Faith Diesel: then I dont have to post it
[16:18] Nimue Macbeth: and maybe this course might have to be taught in two parts.... since it is rather important to many of the role players here
[16:21] Faith Diesel: i think i know how to shorten
[16:21] Nimue Macbeth: do I give the note card when we are doing the roleplay?
[16:22] Faith Diesel: i got everyone to fill in the nc - yes nimue
[16:22] Faith Diesel: we chose Chartruse's to go through
[16:22] Faith Diesel: we are in the middle of the first rp - making the potion
[16:24] Maeglin Velde: Thanks for the NC, Faith. ;)
[16:24] Chartruse Skytower: erm, if I crash yall, the thunder storms are coming.
[16:24] Maeglin Velde winks at Char.
[16:24] Faith Diesel: now this card char filled in real fast
[16:24] Faith Diesel: so it may be a little rough round the edges
[16:24] Chartruse Skytower: yeah it really is
[16:25] Chartruse Skytower: i was taking my time and then she chose me - giggles - so i rushed it.
[16:26] Faith Diesel: the way the card is set out is with the stuff the ST needs for the potion using first and the potion making stuff last
[16:27] Faith Diesel: i did it like that because the making is done with the ST in the beginning as rp so that part (no.4) is only for your reference
[16:28] Faith Diesel: items 1-3 are the bits needed by the user and needs to go on the database
[16:29] Faith Diesel: k - you all found the dice roll sheet
[16:29] Faith Diesel: either now or previously
[16:30] Faith Diesel: it has 5 lists on it
[16:30] Maeglin Velde nods.
[16:30] Chartruse Skytower: we've decided that we're rolling PvA Skilled- didn't we?
[16:30] Nimue Macbeth: yes
[16:30] Faith Diesel: the lists are intend to help you decide which level of ability you need to choose
[16:31] Faith Diesel: but they are not - how shall i put it
[16:31] Faith Diesel: set in stone
[16:32] Faith Diesel: Intended to fit a very wide range of rp scenarios
[16:32] Faith Diesel: in this case we used the general list, the zone of effect and the range to decide
[16:33] Faith Diesel: because the others were irrelevant
[16:33] Faith Diesel: and we had one skilled/expert result, one skilled & one novice
[16:33] Nimue Macbeth: nods
[16:33] Faith Diesel: so Char went for skilled - normally you would chose the highest decision ie the expert but in this case the expert was a boarderline with skilled and the novice clinches it for me.
[16:34] Faith Diesel: want to roll it Char
[16:34] Annule Desir successfully performs the skilled ability.
[16:34] Nimue Macbeth: bravo
[16:35] Faith Diesel: yay - so Annule has successfully made her potion
[16:35] Maeglin Velde smiles. "Yay, Annule!"
[16:36] Faith Diesel: ok now you have a choice now CHar
[16:36] Faith Diesel: you can choose either if this is a single dose
[16:37] Faith Diesel: or if it is multiple doses but with a shelf life
[16:37] Faith Diesel: or a set number of doses
[16:38] Faith Diesel: this stops the whole thing getting out of hand
[16:38] Faith Diesel: single dose means you dont have to roll for duration or quantity
[16:39] Nimue Macbeth: you mean if she makes like 4 drinks
[16:40] Faith Diesel: if she wanted multiple portions and no time restriction the ST would ask her to roll a quantity roll
[16:40] Faith Diesel: as the dice result was success not bare success or stellar
[16:41] Faith Diesel: it would be a d6 normally
[16:41] Nimue Macbeth: who would roll the d6
[16:41] Faith Diesel: Char
[16:41] Nimue Macbeth: and why? I am soo new to this whole numbered dice.. why roll if she is already a success
[16:41] Faith Diesel: its just a straight dice roll
[16:42] Faith Diesel: with a max number of 6
[16:42] Chartruse Skytower: so I'm rolling the d6?
[16:42] Chartruse Skytower: now?
[16:42] Chartruse Skytower: for duration of other players?
[16:42] Maeglin Velde: This roll is for the quantity?
[16:42] Faith Diesel: no cos you just wanted a single portion
[16:42] Chartruse Skytower: ok
[16:43] Faith Diesel: based on Nimues question about number of portions yes
[16:43] Faith Diesel: its the potion makers decision
[16:43] Maeglin Velde: gotcha
[16:43] Faith Diesel: i tend to use single portion or quantity
[16:43] Faith Diesel: because i never know when i can rp
[16:44] Faith Diesel: so duration can be a real pain
[16:44] Faith Diesel: but the itchy cake i made could have been duration
[16:44] Nimue Macbeth whispers: ok lost here if the previous roll was a success, That means she made the potion now why is she rolling the 6d now??
[16:44] Chartruse Skytower: i'm not
[16:44] Chartruse Skytower: only if i wanted six shots of my potion to be made
[16:45] Chartruse Skytower: i'm just making enough for one dose
[16:45] Chartruse Skytower: six or less
[16:45] Chartruse Skytower: the d6 would determine how many in quantity of my potion i successfully made
[16:45] Faith Diesel: you have 3 options Nimue
[16:45] Faith Diesel: for how the potion is used
[16:46] Faith Diesel: itchy cake for example was in a public place with lots of players around
[16:46] Faith Diesel: so if i had gone for a duration roll
[16:46] Faith Diesel: hundreds of people might have been itchy before the duration ran out
[16:47] Faith Diesel: which the ST might have quite rightly objected to
[16:47] Nimue Macbeth: so duration is for the duration of you cake not the itchiness
[16:47] Faith Diesel: instead i rolled for number of slices of cake
[16:47] Faith Diesel: which i think was 6
[16:47] Faith Diesel: the max
[16:48] Faith Diesel: might have been 5
[16:48] Faith Diesel: do you understand now nimue?
[16:48] Nimue Macbeth: yes
[16:49] Nimue Macbeth: and the duration is how long the spell last or the shelf life of the potion
[16:49] Faith Diesel: we tend to use a d4, d6 or d10 depending how good the main dice roll is
[16:49] Nimue Macbeth: ?
[16:49] Faith Diesel: yes duration - is how long it lasts
[16:50] Faith Diesel: quantity is how many pieces
[16:50] Faith Diesel: or you can have just one portion
[16:50] Faith Diesel: and not do a second dice roll at all
[16:51] Nimue Macbeth: ok got it
[16:51] Faith Diesel: you can only opt for one
[16:52] Faith Diesel: ok thats making the potion done - char would then rp her success - i usually bottle it when i know its has worked
[16:52] Faith Diesel: do yu want to do the next half - how to use it?
[16:53] Nimue Macbeth: only one option.. as in duration or quanity
[16:53] Chartruse Skytower: yep, or whateveer method you wanted to transmit it in. yes i think we should faith
[16:53] Faith Diesel: Summary of secondary duration/quantity rolls: single portion - no diceroll. quantity or duration - need dice rolls (d4, d6, d10 depending on success of main diceroll)
[16:54] Nimue Macbeth: yes but you said only one opt
[16:54] Faith Diesel: ie quantity more than one bit
[16:54] Nimue Macbeth: so I guess you mean quanity or duration
[16:54] Nimue Macbeth: for the second roll
[16:54] Faith Diesel: i meant to say you can only choose one of the 3
[16:55] Nimue Macbeth: ok
[16:55] Nimue Macbeth: got itSECOND PART: USING THE POTION:
-
SECOND PART: USING THE POTION
[16:55] Faith Diesel: im happy to do the using
[16:55] Chartruse Skytower: ok
[16:56] Faith Diesel: you need to give the ST the info at the time of making anyway
[16:56] Faith Diesel: or work it out with them
[16:56] Nimue Macbeth: nods
[16:57] Faith Diesel: i generally nc my potions and give them both to fate's client and to the ST to record
[16:58] Faith Diesel: depends what they need to know
[16:58] Faith Diesel: Char who are you giving this potion to or trying to?
[16:58] Faith Diesel: specific person or randon?
[16:59] Chartruse Skytower: erm..
[16:59] Faith Diesel: shall we say random
[16:59] Chartruse Skytower: Would probably be a specific person chosen at random for the purpose of making mischief
[17:00] Chartruse Skytower: like maybe to her boss
[17:00] Faith Diesel: k - well the St would want to know what it did but you might leave it off the takers nc
[17:00] Chartruse Skytower: as a thanks for the new job gift
[17:00] Chartruse Skytower giggles!
[17:01] Nimue Macbeth: but if you left it off the takers card who will tell them The ST?
[17:06] Chartruse Skytower: sorry fate crashed
[17:06] Chartruse Skytower: wb faith hun
[17:06] Maeglin Velde: wb
[17:06] Nimue Macbeth: np
[17:06] Faith Diesel: sorry - sl thinks im talking too much
[17:07] Nimue Macbeth: chuckles
[17:07] Faith Diesel: k - yes Nimue - ST needs to know what the potion does
[17:08] Faith Diesel: and I tend to tell anyway oocly - in case it affects the persons limits
[17:08] Nimue Macbeth: I meant the drinker..
[17:08] Faith Diesel: i tend to tell the drinker anyway
[17:09] Faith Diesel: oocly if not icly
[17:09] Nimue Macbeth: I thought you said the note [17:00] Faith Diesel: k - well the St would want to know what it did but you might leave it off the takers nc
[17:09] Nimue Macbeth: why leave it off the takers NC
[17:10] Faith Diesel: taker = drinker
[17:10] Faith Diesel: but the drinker will definitely want to know what it looks like etc
[17:11] Faith Diesel: you can leave the ST to do this
[17:11] Nimue Macbeth: yes but I must be misunderstanding what you are saying. I understand you to be saying is the the NC to the ST says what the potion does but the one to the drinker doesnt
[17:12] Faith Diesel: all you have to do nimue is give your nc to the ST
[17:12] Nimue Macbeth: would it not be easier to give the ST and the one effected the same notecard
[17:12] Chartruse Skytower: hrm not necessarily- what if the don't want the potion because they know what it does, could be used in metagaming- you might just want to tell them what it looks like, smells like
[17:12] Nimue Macbeth: ok
[17:12] Chartruse Skytower: depends on the effect.
[17:12] Faith Diesel: i tend to also have a prop of some kind as well
[17:12] Faith Diesel: and include an nc in it to tell the drinker what to do with the bottle for example
[17:13] Nimue Macbeth: cool
[17:13] Faith Diesel: ie it looks smells and tastes like .... Call an ST if you want to drink it
[17:13] Nimue Macbeth: where do you get these props
[17:13] Faith Diesel: i make them
[17:13] Nimue Macbeth: darn
[17:13] Nimue Macbeth: I guess I will have to learn to build
[17:14] Faith Diesel: or ask someone or just use the ST
[17:14] Faith Diesel: lots options - you dont have to be a builder
[17:14] Faith Diesel: now lets get to the difficult bit
[17:14] Faith Diesel: the dice roll
[17:15] Faith Diesel: now the dice roll has to be the same as the maker used or higher
[17:16] Faith Diesel: so ST will tell you what that was
[17:17] Nimue Macbeth: this is the victim now
[17:17] Faith Diesel: i need to check that but i think its unfair to make a drinker guess
[17:17] Faith Diesel: yes
[17:18] Faith Diesel: so dont quote me ST giving you diceroll - i will let you all know
[17:18] Faith Diesel: but thats what i usually do
[17:19] Faith Diesel: so then the drinker rps the attempt to assist or resist the potion
[17:19] Faith Diesel: in this case PvA skilled
[17:19] Faith Diesel: the same as the maker used
[17:20] Faith Diesel: and the result will be Abysmal failure, failure, bare success, success or stellar success
[17:21] Fox Onizuka: I have never had a stellar success, even when using novice level skills
[17:21] Faith Diesel: its the luck of the roll
[17:21] Faith Diesel: ive had one or 2 i think not many
[17:22] Faith Diesel: now i know Char did these mighty quick
[17:22] Chartruse Skytower: yeah i did
[17:22] Chartruse Skytower: but they're basic and not complicated to follow
[17:23] Faith Diesel: Char made a potion that gives you ears and a tail
[17:24] Faith Diesel: we are now going through the results of the drinkers dice roll
[17:24] Faith Diesel: and the result will be Abysmal failure, failure, bare success, success or stellar success
[17:24] Faith Diesel: generally abysmal failure and stellar success are a bit wild
[17:25] Faith Diesel: in this potion i suspect the drinker is resisting
[17:25] Faith Diesel: so abysmal failure is worst failure to resist
[17:26] Faith Diesel: so could have multiple ears and tails
[17:26] Chartruse Skytower: oh i did it backwards
[17:26] Chartruse Skytower: lmao
[17:26] Fox Onizuka: or they could turn into a full blown cat.
[17:27] Nimue Macbeth: I thought a failure was in the potion
[17:27] Faith Diesel: well i am assuming this is a prank potion
[17:27] Faith Diesel: we have made the potion now the drinker is resisting
[17:28] Faith Diesel: so Char had written them the wrong way round
[17:28] Chartruse Skytower: yeah just swap them
[17:29] Chartruse Skytower: top on the bottom
[17:29] Chartruse Skytower: bottom on the top
[17:29] Faith Diesel: Abysmal failure -Ears and a long full length neko tail appear
[17:29] Chartruse Skytower: yep
[17:29] Faith Diesel: is what Char meant
[17:30] Faith Diesel: i think this is a little tasteful and under-egged for abymal
[17:30] Chartruse Skytower: it was quick i wasn't done with that part.
[17:31] Faith Diesel: dont worry Char - it makes it a good example
[17:31] Chartruse Skytower: i really don't have but another 10 minutes.
[17:31] Faith Diesel: this is just about the end
[17:32] Faith Diesel: just wanted to highlight - make it a good range
[17:32] Faith Diesel: and ST will add the durations where necessary
[17:32] Faith Diesel: Abysmal likely to be d10
[17:33] Faith Diesel: failure d6
[17:33] Faith Diesel: now bare success is interesting
[17:33] Faith Diesel: cos it could be a resist for a duration
[17:33] Faith Diesel: so not tail for say 4mins
[17:34] Faith Diesel: then the drinker may have to roll again to keep resisting
[17:34] Faith Diesel: or not.
[17:34] Faith Diesel: but again the detail are up to you within reason
[17:35] Faith Diesel: its your potion
[17:35] Faith Diesel: or enchanted object
[17:35] Faith Diesel: any questions
[17:36] Nimue Macbeth: well if there are any questions when the victim the ST is there to help
[17:37] Nimue Macbeth: and what do you mean my making it a good range
(Post Class addition: I mean maker can decide what the storytell of drinkers resist dice roll will be but if you do make sure that there is a good range of results to suit the dice rolls achieved from Abysmal failure to stellar success.)
[17:39] Faith Diesel: k who needs xp
[17:39] Nimue Macbeth: well if you want to give them I am here ...but I was late
[17:39] Maeglin Velde: None for me, please. I didn't sit through the entire class and have only been half here.
[17:39] Faith Diesel: now i need to work out how to make the class an hour instead of 3
[17:39] Faith Diesel: you deserve char
[17:40] Faith Diesel: had to have your nc scrutinised
[17:40] Chartruse Skytower: lol
[17:40] Faith Diesel: and nimue
[17:40] Fate: ((Nimue Macbeth is given 1000 experience points.))
[17:40] Chartruse Skytower: I'm far from perfect, just cause i can tell a story, doesn't mean i know all the semantics
[17:40] Nimue Macbeth: it is interesting and a lot to cover
[17:41] Nimue Macbeth: thank you
[17:41] Fate: ((Annule Desir is given 1000 experience points.))
[17:41] Chartruse Skytower blushes
[17:41] Chartruse Skytower: thanks fate love

[17:42] Nimue Macbeth: by the way I love your spell Char....
