[Frederic Bourgault-Christie]

Yeah, he's more powerful by a substantial margin. The team can actually take down Titans, not simply Demi-Titans. The Affinities are very low, though - the team average total is in the 2500-3000 range, not the 2000 range). Knock down the attributes somewhat (a few less Ms, and if you want higher Affinities even more) and that shuld be fine. If you keep your Affinities as low as they are, let's try reducing by 40 Rank Boosts and see where that takes us.

BTW: If it were Willpower 20/20, that'd be VL Forbidden.

[Vincent Hack]

hopefully this is improved, now the rest is up to you, just know this, DI was trained only by Chronos
he has acctual godpowers over time, though they are incredibly exhausting

i'll Pm appearance to you

he's also roughly 7'4" and 300 lbs, not a small man

[Frederic Bourgault-Christie]

Forbiddens are also /20. The /20 do not hit unless someone is Forbidden or at the VH of a pre-Forbidden attribute. If you hadn't raised the Affinities, those attributes may have been acceptable, but as it is I'd say there needs to be 2 or 3 less Ls and more VLs. Otherwise, that's fine.

[Vincent Hack]

hmm.... maybe the higer affinities shoud be around 800, DI was by no means a feeble character, even by this powerlevels standards

[Frederic Bourgault-Christie]

Well, higher attributes aren't powerful anymore than affinities are. And I assume you mean VL Forbidden, not VL F 20/20. I'm balancing you against another PC, Bandages, the current strongest person on the team. DI will be roughly at the power of Swaggard, Daedrous, etc. So, he has:

*Higher Psi but lower Magic, Tech, Ki
*Higher Str, Keen, End, Int, Will but lower Reflex, Cha, P.A.
*Don't know how many Classes different

If DI sacrifices some Classes for his Attributes, that's fine; otherwise, make 2 more Ls VL.

[Vincent Hack]

alright
necromancer is to death as pyromancer is to fire
the regular, to king is like the difference between jedi knight and jedi master

[Frederic Bourgault-Christie]

...I know what a necromancer is. And the vast majority of the time, someone will know what a necromancer is but not what a pyromancer is, not the other way around.

I don't tend to have upgraded Classes in my game. A Jedi Master is a Merit or when taken as a Class governs the political and instruction side. The only definitional difference between a Jedi Knight and Master is the Master Merit and a high enough Class Point investment to be able to teach others. Further, while there is a basic Necromancer class, there are also Necromancer variations: Death Walker (the most focused on the death aspects of it and summoning hordes), Gladiamori/Warborn, Murder Mage/Plague Monk, and Dearthbringer.

[Vincent Hack]

in reality he focuses on all aspects of necromancy, that is why he was feared

[Frederic Bourgault-Christie]

Then he would have Necromancer and probably all the sub-varieties, plus a Secret Class of his own I am sure. He will be in good company with Brunnengus, Baelstramus, Keaton, Evan and Handyman, among others. I would also recommend Soul Harvester from Psyscape and some Biomancer, Osteomancy (bone magic), etc.

When you use a D&D, FF, Rifts, etc. spell but crank it, just add numbers. If it's an Epic spell, then the Forbidden version would be II, the T version III, etc. In your case, Inferno has at least Animate Dead III if not IV, plus the individuals (Skeleton Mage, Fire Skeleton, Fire Mummy, Fire Zombie, Skeleton Warrior, Skeleton Archer, Mummy, Zombie, True Zombie, Pseudo-Vampire, Lich Ritual, Soulless Xombies, Incan undead, golems, etc.)

[Vincent Hack]

necromancy is fun
and its animate dead IV, simply put, an army of colossal skeletos rises up from the ground to do my bidding

[Frederic Bourgault-Christie]

Well, with Animate spells it's best if you actually have corpses. Animate Dead IV is most efficient if you have existing corpses and will make them incredibly powerful. Without them, there's either less or they're weaker. But fair enough, that'll be one of your F2 slots. I'd recommend checking out Rifts Necromancy lists or Diablo II Necromancy lists. Death Bolt, Bone Spear, Teeth, Bone Armor, Necro-Armor, perhaps Soul Barrier, etc. will be needed.

[Vincent Hack]

oh yeah, i'l ask my friend about the diablo 2 necro lists, he is a master of that class

[Frederic Bourgault-Christie]

...Or, you know, GameFAQs. db.gamefaqs.com/computer/doswin/file/diablo_ii_lod_necromancer.txt

www.angelfire.com/ar/ShawnS/Spelllist.html has Rifts spell lists.

[Vincent Hack]

my friend knows not only all the spells, but which ones to use in any given situation

[Vincent Hack]

oaky something wierd with DI, with magic involving thr use of fire or gravity, he is treated as having magic affinity 1400 (x2) with almost all others he is treated normal (x1) but with water, ice or electricity his affinity is treated as if it were 350 (x1/2)

hope this don't disrupt things too much

[Frederic Bourgault-Christie]

Yeah, I'm not going to allow doubles, but add as a Trait a Natural Fire Affinity and Gravity Affinity and a Water, Ice and Electricity Antipathy. And these are the sort of "wierd" things that Traits do.

Have you used those resources? African Witch might be an interesting class as well for DI.

[Vincent Hack]

alright i'll add the traits, not too sure about the african witch though

[Frederic Bourgault-Christie]

Innate powers are: Spit on snakes to kill them and snake resistance, stronger at night, lycanthropy, create magic snakes, life draining, and the unique spells of the African Witch.

Also: If you're psychic, what Classes would you use? Burster? Mind Bleeder? Etc.?

[Vincent Hack]

Mindbleeder and buster sound fun

[Frederic Bourgault-Christie]

Both are. Mind Bleeders are mostly anti-psychic classes who drain psychic abilities and energy as well as do things like neuro-strikes, disrupting concentration for brief moments as a sleight of hand trick, etc. Bursters are pyrokinetic specialists.

Oh, and you got the math wrong on the doubles, at least according to the current sheet I'm approving, which has 700 for Psi and Magic not 800.

[Vincent Hack]

oh right whoops, will change

[Frederic Bourgault-Christie]

So: Psychic Classes? Some are listed in the various Rules documents. In particular, in the Class List section Ctrl-F for the words "psi", "psychic", "psionic", "psycho", "mentalist" or "mind". There is also the Ilwil Worot, Veneficium Mentalist, and the Twanchen Mind Harp.

[Vincent Hack]

yeah DI diddn't focus on psionic versatility, but power, he dosen't have near as many psionic classes as spell casting ones, but is extremely good with those classes abilities

[Frederic Bourgault-Christie]

So a lot of Class Points into each one of those Classes (or, more ideally, high Psi Affinity). Nonetheless, which ones there interested you? Or, alternately, what did you want to do with your psychic skills in general?

[Vincent Hack]

what you described with those two classes sounds about right, pump some class points in and perhaps psichic affintity willbe raised to 750

Will DI be free in time to assist hack when vasilli turns traitiorus bastard

[Frederic Bourgault-Christie]

At this point, you're losing a lot of Class Points. I'd say you have 200 or so and that's spending a lot of your initial cash. What do you think you'll invest into and how much?

I can't say if Vasili will turn traitorous bastard, but no, DI will not be freed for awhile. Once you get to the planet, the Colossus will be a difficult fight and you might indeed die and have to "load" or be revived and try again.

[Vincent Hack]

well shadowblade was purchased though not for very much since it is something along the ines of a holy avengter for DI, and no one knew what that blade had within it, demonblade was found in a fiend worshipping temple, so whatever money he has he spends on training

[Frederic Bourgault-Christie]

Those are your treasure trove items. That's separate from starting money, which can be used for genetic modifications, cosmic forge items, etc. And you undoubtedly have more treasure trove items, either sealed in with you or lost somewhere.

Anyways, give me an initial Class Point spread, not forgetting the 5 free 6-point Classes and the 4-point Job Gem Class.

[Vincent Hack]

okay in percentages then

swordmaster (10%) necromancy classes (evenly divided) (35%) pyromancy classes (evenly divided) (35%) psionic classes (evenly divided) (20%)

oh he has a lot mote treasure trove items, lemme find where i wrote it all down and i'll put it up here

DI spends his money on things involving his skills, namely training, he dosent involve himself in biomancy, cosmic forge couldn't possibly enhance his items any further seeing as the aincent magic within it is beyond the comprehension of anyone in CH
