Post Re: Birthright RTD
I'm somewhat confused as to how the stone thing works. Do we pick them now or gain them?

If I had a stone connecting to say, metal, would I be able to actively make things rust or would I just get mad smithery power? (can the effect be passive is what I mean)

Well for your birthstone it can be whatever you choose passive or active as long as it isnt like +1 to all attacks ever, most nobles or people with high connections/power get them when they are born, your familly usually has to be very rich to get a very useful birthstone, you can pick them up when the person who owns it dies, it reacts to your feelings at the moment, so if you had great feelings for someone who was murdered and picked it up while feeling that way you might get a revenge bonus sort of thing, it reacts to feelings/thoughts at the time picked up

EDIT: if I get enough player might learn to make maps in a mapmaker

well the backstories for the players can vary, usually those who are rich enough to craft and purchase these are going to be highborn but that doesnt mean that the impoverished don't have em sometimes lonely terminal nobles are nice enough to give them to their slaves, or thieves steal and kill for them they are a very valuable commodity,

They can be crafted? I was planning for my character to focus on smithing.

only by the best smithies in the world but technically your character could eventually get there as long as he focussed on that particular trait of smitthing the only thing is that these are also the most targeted people and you are much more likely to die if you focus on that trait of smithing

EDIT: your character could infact become pretty godly from this but as a result of the process of crafting the smithie cannot ever use any birthstone he crafts himself

Post Re: Birthright RTD
Name: (unknown, titled the Iron Mauler)
Description: A wayward son of nobility slaughtered in a "Glorious People's Revolution", this towering brute has known nothing but war. His birthstone has grown attuned to the thousand scars he has borne and given out, and enhances his already unnatural constitution.
Birthstone: Stoneskin Stone: defense, shielding, toughness.
Passive Abilities:
---Colossus: +1 to physical strength rolls, cannot wear normal armor.
---Malice: +1 to brutal and morally ambiguous acts.
Inventory: Battered Elephant Armor, Great Hacksaw

The Hacksaw is a great big serrated sword.

Also, can Birthstone abilities upgrade and such? I made mine pretty general.

Post Re: Birthright RTD
they can and will at important parts in the story and im good with the sheet exept for the Malice+1 bit im going to change that to Merciless+1 I know its not that much different but mallice will be felt by the entire party for the first part of the story mercilessness will give you a +1 to executing people and such bloody and warlike acts is just a bit too general

that is all otherwise the sheet is good and I will be starting this thing as soon as we have the needed players

EDIT: being a bit more clear the kings are meeting so that they can find and send their best people to see what this new king is up to he just took power three months ago and he is much too young to be king, also the previous king and queen died under "mysterious" circumstances at best

the kingdoms are layed out one in each direction Northan Westa Ester Souter this is where all of you players will be hailing from, there are two more kingdoms to the southeast and one to the northwestern sky where lies a floating kingdom

also ive decided to change the lore a bit, the stones are NOT able to be crafted although usally the rich still have them they are naturally occuring "souls" for lack of a better word and will be able to have six uses before dying

+1 to executions sounds kind of useless.

Sorry, what do you mean by "malice will be felt by the entire party for the first part of the story"? I just want to make my guy a bit of a bastard.

EDIT: I changed Malice's description. Is that good? I just want to keep the word "malice" in there.
