*laughs*  hopefully Ari won't be QUITE that condescending.   ;)

Jade now has a clear idea of what Ariadne rides on

In reply to Jade (msg # 36):

"On a Steel Horse I Ride..."

From an aesthetics standpoint, I hope Ariadne's look different.

*smiles*  Ari would definitely try for something else.   :)

Jade is looking forward to the trip to earth and riding a motorcycle.

That sounds lovely

As I am close to gaining a level thanks to the GM's XP.
I have a question for people. I plan on raising Charisma or Intelligence as she has been doing a fair amount of socializing, singing and interacting. Also she has been doing research a lot as well, and nerdy book stuff.

What way do you think I should go, when I gain the level.

Charisma works, as you're definitely coming out of your shell

I dunno if this is helpful, Jade, but I like playing the game of 'what should I get'! Here are arguments for them all!

Strength or Agility - because she learned from/is determined to learn from training w/ Jon and Ariadne and has had a fair bit of suddenly thrown-into-the-pool-of-physical-drama what with the gray men and practicing

Willpower - no opinion! Does one roll willpower for magic? Jade does seem to have found new goals to follow, new strength of purpose perhaps

Intelligence - something Jade seems to use actively a lot, with there being quite a bit to learn in this suddenly new life. Gets a work out!

Charisma - this seems more passive, but a fair bit of socializing

Constitution - this seems passive too, but occasion to heal from some wounds!

edited to add Perception (which I, uh, perceptively noticed I forgot):

Perception - no strong opinion! Dunno if Jade's used or not used it. Paranoia now that one knows assassins are one's tail could be justification to heighten it? But no opinion! Seems passive. Unless it's used for scanning to see if things are magic, in which case, bit of flex going on there

And I would love to see that motorcycle horse in real life... Man, what a wonderful and ridiculous thing!

Thank you both for your insights

I like bouncing ideas, so any time. :)

(I have no strong feelings about what I'ma do with Ballad's stats when she levels up. Maybe more to Intelligence, 'coz I think she's had some spectacular successful rolls / possible failures with that stat. Maybe Perception, because assassins. Maybe something else! Opinions are welcome!)

I'm leaning towards dexterity with Ari, but everything looks good

I think intelligence fits for Ballad, she hasn't shied away from research, and she actively tries to learn about her cousins. Also for those conversations she has had about the Grey men.

Perception as you said could be useful, though we all haven't been using that too much. Ariadne has used perception and been amazing when she did.

Oh about your question, yes Willpower is the stat for magic.

I can see more dex for Ari.

And :nodsnods: I think learning about the cousins doesn't fall under intelligence so much - that's just friendliness/Ballad being a people-person/extrovert. But she does seem to come across a lot of information somehow/always be on the darned hunt for it.

Perception is also what one uses to shadow walk!

Your our premier shadow walker so maybe Perception would be good.

Perception is definitely tempting as well, for that reason

Haha. I was telling Jon's player one of Ballad's before and now changes is:

Before: “So nice to be so fancy free! All my relations can take care of themselves!”
Now: “Oh man. Our elders are apparently just the worst. I gotta help these guys as they learn about their birthright. Urk, is this… is this a twinge of responsibility?”

I had Jade more perceptive then intelligent. Fiona is the brainy one and I didn't want to be a Fiona clone. Strong will though, that Jade does have.

Her being a clutz with training (And she really was) fit concept too. She will get better but I think not just yet.

What is used for combat ? Dex and Strength ?


I see Random, "Fiona, your daughter is being nice, helping her cousins and working as part of a team. Deal with her !"

Good night my friends ^_^

Good night, Jade

Good Morning Everyone !

Quiet day

Sorry guys. I expect to be back in a week.

I hope that's not a problem...?
