Vampire it is then, you're a descendant of one of the original twelve disciples, a neonate who's been feeding off donations supplied by the local church. Now for a background, where did you hail from?

>One of the Kings Cities

>>1840431
Alright then, you call the winding alleys and open markets of the kings cities your former home. Not exactly the safest place for a vampire but eh, you made do. But how? What caused you to join the church?

>You Were saved by clergymen from slavers?
>It was either that or serving a sentence on the border wall?
>Your sire worked for the church and had you join as his squire?
>Other?

>>1840471
>Your sire worked for the church and had you join as his squire?
We come from a long line of Holy vamps...

>>1840471
>You were saved by clergymen from slavers?

>>1840471
>Other?
We were raised from birth by a former templar turned priest, a man who saw no evil behind a babies eyes, he raised us to be kind, to be strong, to fight for whats right.

>we also fucked his wife

>>1840471
>Your sire worked for the church and had you join as his squire

>>1840486
I switch to squire

>>1840471
So you were born and raised inside of the kingdom of Arcadia, where you lucked into the opportunity of becoming a vampire. Your sire didn't really care if you objected and stole you away to the local holy house where he turned you and had you become his squire and a member of the church. You spent most of your time as a fledgling learning the ins and outs of combat and the holy text. You Were there when the holy Grail was stolen and can still recall the purging of the previous pope. Now you're a faithful servant of the messiah and have been acknowledged by your betters as a neonate, fully responsible and capable to deliver Gods justice. What is your name?

>>1840649

Looks like Samuel Siguardsson wins, now to distribute stats. You have social, physical and mental attributes split into Charisma, Manipulation and Appearance, Strength, Dexterity, and Stamina, Intelligence, Perception and Wits respectively. Every stat starts with a single point. The scoring of the stat is as follows
1 points terrible
2 points Average
3 points above average
4 Points Amazing
5 points almost super human
You can relegate pools of points to each attribute to spend on each stat. The pools are 7, 5, 3

>>1840737
Were you trying to hijack this quest?

>>1840869
So if I get this right, we can put 7 points into one group, then 5 points into another group, then 3 into the final one?
I would suggest having the 7 into Physical, 5 into Mental and 3 into Social.
Social
Charisma 2
Manipulation 2
Appearance 2
Physical
Strength 5
Dexterity 3
Stamina 2
Mental
Intelligence 2
Perception 3
Wits 3

I think he misscopied his quest start into this quest, instead of the new thread. No idea how.

>>1840895
where did you get that list?

>>1840895
nm im an idiot Agree with the list as is

>>1840958
It's really similar to the stats used in mordheim City of the Damned, except with one of the catagories switched out. So I caught on with what the QM was talking about quickly.

Over the years you've honed your strength to peak performance and made up any weaknesses you once had. This means little and less to your who's had you training non stop in order to prepare yourself for the challenges that lie ahead. Over your life time you've had many chances to pick a preferred fighting style, something that dictates your ability in combat. What did you decide to master?

Instead of working on your individual combat prowess you've tailored your abilities to enhance the skill of others. Your leadership ability is nothing to scoff at and you can terrify anyone who doesn't follow orders unto obedience most of the time. Now, everyman has his own moral scruples and things he values most, which were yours? There are 4 different virtues, each starts at 1 point and caps at 5 and you have 7 points to spend on them, they determine how you will react partially how you will react to any stressful situation and may determine if you succeed at certain checks. Self control determines at what point younstart to hunger, courage directly affects the amount t if willpower you have, faiuth determines if you can use a holy artifact and conscience and self control relate tonyour overall humanity score.
Courage 1
Faith 1
Self Control 1
Conscience 1

>>1841654
Points: 7

>Courage 1 ---> 3

Points : 5

>Faith: 1 ---> 2

>>1841661
Faith 1--->5

OH COOOOME ALL YE FAITHFUL

Courage ---> 2
Faith ---->4
Self Control ---->4
Conscience --->1

Leaving us able to go rage mode when really needed could be helpful. The Holy beast within can be unshackled when demanded.

Looks like you're a faithful one, i d expect nothing less from a man if the church. You are at humanity score 5, your hunger threshold is 3 and you have 2 willpower points to start with. You regain willpower at intervals and can spend it to gain an automatic success on any check. Drop to 0 willpower points and you have to roll a willpower or faith check or lose all motivation. Now, onto how you've equipped is also important. What lkind of load out of skills and weaponry did you choose from?

>Witcher: light weapons with a focus on hit and run tactics.
>Templar: Heavy armor and two handed weapons with a focus on versatility
>Priest: Decent melee and spellcasting with a focus on buffs
>Flagellant: Strong melee prowess with a large focus on front line combat and tanking, cannot wear armor

>>1841901
>Witcher
Vampire witcher, absolutely

>Priest, We Must have Faith to hold back the Hunger.

Hey you just got 3 votes for Witcher though not to shabby Anon.
>>1841901
>also I vote for Priest.

>>1841930
Except i'm the same person, phone posting, only it didn't show up after the first vote, so i voted again to hope it would, only now they both show up.

So its actually 3 for priest and one for witcher

>>1841901
>Templar
Lets go full on Vlad drucle

>>1841908
>>1841913
>>1841930
I should state that this is a low magic setting and most of the non buff spells are tied to artifacts that you doing start with. Just sayin

>>1841998
Alright, votes ending in ten minutes then your done unless you want to do a practice combat to get a grasp on everything?

>>1841901
>Priest

>>1842025
>>1841930
>>1841913
>>1841908
Alright, you've taken a cue from the priests of the church and learned and put a premium on memorizing verses from the holy text.

>Learned 'Blessed Flame'. Roll faith and deal radiant or holy damage to target unit equal to amount of successes.
>Learned 'Strike True'. Roll Faith difficulty 6, target allied unit gains extra dice on their next attack roll equal to half the successes rounded down.
>Learned 'Healing Psalm'. Roll faith, if you succeed units in target allied squad gain 1 health back.

Alright, you're done making a character and I will get on Making an info dump. Would anyone like to run through a practice combat?

>>1842088
>>1842089
Yes you can, also writing

>>1842168
Alright, this'll be a simple explanation of mechanics for the quest. To start off every battle is split into arcs focused on a different objective. At the beginning of each arc you can choose battle command that will affect the rest of the arc. Your abilities to start with are 'Reinforcements' and 'Rally'. Reinforcements brings in a group of basic melee infantry units that follow orders as best as possible. Rally has you roll either Charisma and leadership or manipulation and intimidation, you have 3 intimidation and 3 leadership. The difficulty for this roll is 6 unless stated otherwise which means you have to roll a 6 or higher to succeed. If you succeed every unit under your command gets a bonus dice for all their rolls for the rest of the arc. Pick one for this battle.

>>1842226
Rally

>>1842226
Forgot to mention that each point in a stat equals 1 dice to roll for any check related to that stat.

>>1842288
Looks like reinforcements won, writing

So most battles are fought between two different forces coimporising of different squads that either contain 4 units or 1 unit. Each force has a commander unit that when killed greatly lowers that forces morale and prevents them from using command abilities. You start this battle with a squad of conscripts and yournswuad which comprises of 3 Templar's and yourself. Squad rosters are important as they may allow that squad to take special actions. By default every squad has two actions that can be spent on either the move action or attack action or some combination thereof. The enemy force has a single group of Templars that are one move action away.since yourn squad has three Templars they can move, attack, or form a shield wall. Since you're a spellcaster the squad has access to any of your spells as a complement to another action. The conscripts will move forward and attack. You get to go first this round. What will you do with your actions?

>>1842326
Any questions? I'd like to know if my point was clear

>>1842326
I believe everyone understood your point, we are still waiting to see how reinforcements, affects the battle.

>>1842897
Reinforcements summoned that group of conscripts. Sorry for not being clear on that.

>>1842326
Order the templars forward with the conscripts have the conscripts act as a meat shield while the templars flank. We will support from the rear.

>>1843526
Looks like this wins by default, writing

>>1844331
Yay

Rolled 9, 6, 1, 7 = 23 (4d10)

>>1843526
The attack dice pool of a squad is based off the average of all of its units. You have melee skill 2 and the Templars have melee skill 3 so to attack you roll dexterity plus 3 which is 6 in this case. Roll 6d10 to attack

Rolled 4, 1, 9, 6, 4, 1 = 25 (6d10)

>>1844808

Are the any musical instruments that could work as a buff?

Rolled 10, 9, 8, 2, 4 = 33 (5d10)

>>1844869

With 2 successes you're able to roll damage with an extra die, the damage roll normally is strength plus 2 since you're using long swords so roll 7d10.

Rolled 1, 5, 3, 10, 6, 4, 4 = 33 (7d10)

>>1844895

>>1844895

Rolled 7, 1, 2, 7, 2, 3, 8 = 30 (7d10)

>>1844895

Rolled 5, 4, 1, 7, 1, 3, 2 = 23 (7d10)

>>1844895

>>1844966
>>1845206
>>1845007

4 successes with your squad and 4 with the conscripts. Let's assume that the enemy is not wearing armor and thus can't soak damage. The enemy squad drops from 28 health to 20 health, thus the squad has to suffer a dice penalty because their units are suffering pain penalties. This'll go back and forth until one force routs or is killed. Any questions about the quest or the system? If not thread is over and I'd like someone to archive this because I don't know how to, thanks

>>1846205
No further questions. And I don't remember how to archive. I haven't done it in about 3 years
