Unmog would be correct. I'll be making a post about it shortly, but each skill level costs one skill point. I've designed it this way so the noncombatants can become masters in certain things and become a necessity to the group, seeing as they'll be able to do things with their ability scores that b...

Skills: (weave them into your back story) Medic Level 1 (Requires 7 in intelligence): Basic -- basic first aid dealing with burns, stab wounds, and easily identifiable illnesses Level 2 (Requires 8 in intelligence): Trained -- bullet wounds, basic anatomy, identify uncommon illnesses Level 3 (Requir...

Always looking! I haven't posted the DA RP yet, but I'll post the link here as soon as I do. :)

This is going to be the thread where you can find each skill, what each level of that skill entails, and the requirements for said skill. If anyone messages me with a question or I make adjustments to the skills, I will post them in this thread. I request that you do NOT post your questions here! Th...

No problem. I just finished answering all of them and am going to modify the skill set I am going to post (eventually, I promise!) to include certain modifiers a character will need to be successful with each skill. <3

Question answering time!!!! Located in OOC thread labeled "Skills and Information about Skills") and I was wondering where that was? You can't find it because I haven't posted it yet. :D I was supposed to have it up yesterday, but I had some personal problems that I needed to attend to whi...

I will be running both simultaneously -- I just had to write the skill and ability system for the Walking Dead RP, so I decided to post it first. As soon as I get the skills posted and answer all questions, I'll post the DA one.

Hey everyone! I didn't expect to see so much interest in just a day or so! :D Unfortunately, I don't reserve spots for players. It's a "first come, first serve" sort of deal. There is, however, a lot of room for group expansion, if we garner enough interest. I'd like to take a second to re...

I tend to have rather intricate and detailed responses. I never want to make room for misunderstandings or errors. :D Also! Here is the link to the Walking Dead OOC thread: http://www.roleplaygateway.com/the-walking-dead-colorado-chapter-t66893.html See you, those that are interested in the Walking ...

Of course a skill system won't stop people from god-modding or enhancing their characters in unrealistic ways. This is definitely not the first time I've participated in an RP and not the first time I've GM'd. I've found, however, that a skill system helps inspire people to play more realistically t...

This is the auto-generated OOC topic for the roleplay " The Walking Dead: Colorado Chapter " Welcome, everyone, to the Colorado Chapter of The Walking Dead. As you may have heard, this roleplay is based in the Walking Dead universe. This thread is going to be for general discussion, pertai...

It's always exciting to garner more attention! Welcome Selene, glad to have you. Indeed, the Sophia incident was quite interesting -- I had a feeling about it, but I never wanted to give up hope. D: Everman, I personally love how the stat/skill system limits characters, that's why I use it so often....

The stats that I provided in my example post are the stats I created for the Walking Dead universe RP. I found that each of those stats modified something particular, such as weapon damage or accuracy, sneaking past enemies, or finding useful items. As unmog stated, endurance gives an idea about how...

I don't believe that dice use is going to be very practical for a play by post setting. It would use statistics similar to a D&D campaign, but removes the aspect of chance via a roll of the dice and just takes a look at the numbers. It can increase GM influence over characters, whether they are ...

StrawberryFoxglove

Now, a few more questions from me to all of you lovely people. How much experience do you have utilizing a skills and abilities system in a play by post roleplay? (For those of you who have never been exposed to a "skills" or "abilities" system -- the abilities system uses number...

StrawberryFoxglove

Okay! I'm getting a list together for those I expect to want to join each RP. I've hammered out some solid details, all I have left to do is create the RPs and provide all necessary information for each. To answer a few questions: Combining Fandoms: I've thought about doing this, but each fandom I'v...

I've already decided to do two roleplays -- one based in the Walking Dead universe and one based in the Dragon Age universe, as these two ideas seem to be the most popular. I've been getting last minute semester things together (seeing as my semester starts on Monday), but as soon as things settle d...

StrawberryFoxglove

I guess I can just fill you all in on what I expect from my roleplayers before you all decide that you really want to spend so much time with me. :3 I love well thought out character stories -- I want you invested in them, so you care what happens. I enjoy descriptive posts. Not two lines, not a sin...

StrawberryFoxglove

It is most definitely not too late. Since I'm a horridly nice and accommodating person, I was planning on making two separate roleplays, to cater to those who had specified interest or explained lack of knowledge. I'm hoping to make a Walking Dead based RP and a Dragon Age RP. I'll start work on the...

StrawberryFoxglove

I've been here for a while and I still don't really know how to utilize the chat function. I just avoid it. >.>;;; Also, I apologize for disappearing there for a few days. I've been trying to get my class schedule in order for winter semester. xD; I should have done it about two months ago, but I'm ...
