[Exodyus.Org] New System

Hey Roleplayers!

The admins staff at Exodyus bumped our thick heads together and began scheming over this Christmas break about some ideas for the forum and how to direct it into an open-faced world to partake in. The previous system seemed a bit cramped and didn't allow for room of older characters to be transferred over into the Exodyus because of a nerfing effect.

The structure of causing people to start from square one and move through the levels was in fact a great idea, however at Exodyus' current forum-technology level, tracking the experience, post-by-post just grew tedious and we felt that it was time to better the forum with something less complicated and more open ended.

Straight Facts

The new system starts all players on the same Common Power Level. There's three categories: Ability, Ability Status, and Ability Range. Each of these abilities has three categories of it's own that basically define the character in a rather combative sense.

Under A - Ability you have:

• Strength 
• Speed
• Stamina

Each of these stats obviously affect how tough a character is, how strong and how fast. At zero, the character is pegged to be averagely average. Average speeds. Average strengths. Nothing special. Nothing beyond the norm. This changes as you add points into the categories.

Under B - Ability Status you have:

• Physical
• Magical
• Mental

Is the character a Psionicist? A Warlock? A Barbarian? Each of the sub-categories offers a honing of an individual talent, unless the character is skilled or fluent in more than one field, making them balanced instead of specialized.

Under C - Ability Range you have:

• Close
• Mid
• Long

These are simply radial zones around your character that are interactive in combat. Obviously a melee user (Physical/Strength) wouldn't want a ton of points in Long Range, because the optimum distance is over twenty meters.

At the start of your character, each is given 30 stat points, PER category (A,B,C). So 10/10/10 would be balanced completely across the sub-categories.

From here, you write your story and your character, complete quests and missions, and work toward your ultimate goal. Somewhere in the middle, you are able to purchase Power Caps in order to add 30 more stat points to each category! Moderate, High Power, and Exodian, of which is something close to godlike.

On top of this, we offer Enchantments to raise your skills in various means. This ends with Power Levels -- the addition of all three Categories added up. Starting characters would have a PL of 90, without enchantments.
