Update 2.31
Greetings, OH Members:
We've had a lot of interest in our game recently, and I'm so happy to see that we have grown. As I've always said, I will never cajole, force or otherwise require you to recruit for OH, but there are times when I do give some incentives for recruiting. We are starting a very special recruiting bonus this week, so please see below for the details. There are some great storylines being woven in OH right now, so please make sure you get involved so your character/s can be part of all the interesting writing that's going on, and will be going on.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Send me a list of your gemstones you've gotten for loot for each character. This is the third week in a row I've asked, and will be the final. If your gemstones are NOT listed in the official gemstone vault listing you cannot use them for wandcraft OR sell them to the Emporium.
Don't forget, if you have crafting skills it's time for you to ask for your crafting points. Don't forget to tell ashtonlocke and let him know how you want your points divided between skills if you have multiples...i.e. "Alchemy 8CP, Artisan 2CP". If you have skills or items that give you more points, you need to claim that on your email.
RECRUIT BONUS
You don't have to sit in a boring stuffy recruit hall to recruit! The best recruiting comes from just roleplaying in public, and having people wander in and ask questions. There's going to be an incentive for recruiting starting tonight, allowing new recruits to start at a higher rank than they normally would.
All new characters start at 30XP, and 2,000gp. This allows a new character to start at Crystal Journeyman (2d28), and with just a little bit of work they'll easily rank up and be able to choose their first profession.
You get 10XP for recruiting a new player's character into OH. This does not include recruiting characters from current players, or your own new characters. It must be a NEW player to the game. Make sure to remind them to put your screen name so you will get the credit.
ARCANE DUELS
We are instituting a new type of match for you magic casters out there, the arcane duel. This will be added to the site this week. Feel free to go ahead and use these rules this week, though.
Crystal & Topaz uses 1d5
Amber & Sapphire uses 1d10
Emerald and Ruby uses 1d15
Obsidian uses 1d20
You must have Magical or Psionic Affinity to participate in Arcane Duels. There are five rounds. You use your dice to cast offensive magic, as well as defend against the magic attack somehow with defensive magic.
1. State your name, and Dice Rank to be assigned magic dice.
2. Roll initiative, 1d20 + Quickness to determine who goes first.
3. First person makes their roleplay magical attack, then rolls their magic dice. For instance, you roll 1d5 and get 5.
4. Target roleplays their defense, and rolls their magic dice. For instance, you roll 1d5 and get 3.
5. 2 Damage goes to the Attacker, as you subtract the defense from the attack for total damage.
6. Continue on for Five Rounds.
7. Whoever has the least amount of damage at the end of Five Rounds is the Winner.
Send your arcane duels to temptofblack for credit. You will earn 2XP for winning, and 1XP for losing.
WEEKLY QUESTS & ROLEPLAY NIGHTS
• Tuesday, August 13th at 9pm (est) -- DM: Pamela
• Thursday, August 15th -- Activity/Event Night - Leader: Tim
• Saturday, August 17th at tba (est) -- DM: Pamela
WORD OF THE WEEK
Don't forget the Word of the Week! It's easy 2XP you can earn once a week just within your normal roleplay! Check the message board. Learn it. Use it. Send it in.
UPDATES, PATCHES, CLARIFICATIONS
--1. New Races
The following new races have been added to our game. I will allow you ONE WEEK to switch over your character to a new race if you feel the race fits better. You have until this Sunday to do so. Let both scaleschange & tesarikone know of your switch. It MUST make sense, in other words, if your character is a feykin right now, then logically you could switch to moonfey or nymph, but you cannot switch to say.... warforged, or vishkanya. This is not an opportunity for you to completely remake your character, merely a chance to expand upon what they already are.
Nymph
Half-nymph
Moonfey
Lumian
Forsaken
Warforged
Desertfolk
Arkai
Vishkanya
Obsidimen
T'skrang
Windling
--2. Change to Feykin
Feykin now only take 1.5 damage from iron, instead of double damage.
--3. Change to Elves
Elves racial skill has been changed. You get Immunity to Sleep instead of Low-Light Vision. If you have an elf and you would rather keep the low-light vision, you may do so, but if you'd rather switch to Immunity to Sleep do so this week.
--4. Poisons
Poisons are super expensive, but really the majority of them do as much or even less than some wands so to make this much more fair I've decided that your poisons have five doses. Much like a wand has 10 Charges, when you buy or make poisons they have Five Doses. Mark your poison use on your dossier such as "Spiderbite 4/5 Doses Remain".
WELCOME!

Extra Credit: Answer a question for 2XP. Remember, one per player. Tell me where you want the 2XP when you reply!
