I have just joined and am reading everything to make sure I understand what I'm doing...lol. This looks very exciting!

Greetings unto you, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask the staffers here for assistance.

Thank you! I am just a little confused by how all the fighting things work, mainly the dice related things.
So if I roll the dice (experimenting with this button here) how does this affect other people? I skimmed a couple of roleplays other people were doing and I saw them rolling the dice several times?

I'm going to keep reading and looking around though. 1d20

Hello and welcome to the forum!

There's guides on how the dice system works, but here's a quick rundown.

You input a code like this [ proll=1d20 ] (Minus the space) By pressing the button of the dice and eye, and then you add the modifier that's in your character's stats to finish the role at the end of it, after the 20.

We're glad to have you on the forum and if you need any other help, then feel free to ask on the discord or send a message to the Staff!

Welcome to the community!

There are rules as you go through them under the basics of Li topic here: CLICK HERE

That explains the entire dice system and how the mechanics work. It's alot of reading but it will save you hassle in the end and allow you to do a good mission with all the understanding of battle under your belt. It also explains how PVP works. After reading all of that, once done, feel free to ask staff questions in our discord or private message one of us!

Enjoy your stay!

[maj]

Thank you so much! I've read a learned a lot more, so I think I understand most of it. The only thing that's confusing me at the moment is the dice. I can't figure out how to use the dice correctly in a post, and I've read carefully about the system. I don't know what to put into the dice code to make it work, or how I am supposed to know what to do put into the dice. (If this is a better PM question, I'll happily PM a staff member instead of asking here!)

So it looks like in your recent post about the dice, that you managed to get it right. In most cases we use D20 dice for attacks and dodges and pretty much any battles. To roll for if a character inflicts or is inflicted with a status ailment, we use D100. A d20 is a 20 sided die. A d100 is a 100 sided die. If you click the dice button with the eye symbol on it, you can "preview" your roll before you post it. If you use the dice without the eye symbol on it, you won't be able to see the resulting number until after you post. This is to prevent hesitation or "rerolls" or plain old cheating. So most people just use the dice without the eye symbol, but you can use both as long as you don't delete your roll and roll again.

Although I do believe you cannot get the dice result to change if you delete and reroll. It rolls the same one again as a counter against cheating. There are still ways to trick the system, but it's not easy. All this is also explained in our rules. You only need to roll if the mission creator asks it as a requirement(which is most cases) and once your character is made you add the modifiers. For example, if you're fighting an enemy with a physical attack of a punch or a kick, that is a STR(strength roll) and your character has a +2 modifier to their strength stat you do the d20 die and put "+2" after that. So it would look like this.

STR ROLL: 1 d 20 + 2 = DICE RESULT

Here it is in action using the dice button:

k|16iQdx1d20 + 2

If that number is higher than the enemy's required roll to hit, I hit the enemy and do that damage.

I know it's alot of reading and such, but that too should also be in the rules thread we have hope this helps.1d20 + 2

[maj]

That explains a lot, thank you! I believe I have read everything now and am working on making a character...! I think I now have a good idea of how dice work and fighting, thank you so much!

I am wondering though, if you don't preview your roll, how do you know if your attack/move was successful when you're writing so you know if your attempt worked or not?

And, what is the difference between lawful, chaotic and neutral?

[WolfEx]

If you don't use the previewable dice, but the other one, you won't know if it is successful or not, so you would fluff the attack like this after the dice:

"Goku jumped in the air and made a cupped hand formation right above the foe. He charges up some energy and forms an orb of light and fires it at Enemy 1 below him as direct as possible! Goku used energy blast on Enemy 1! If it hits it will do 10% DMG with a 10% stun chance."

So you will simply describe the attack as best as you can without signifying that it "hits" or "misses" and you see the result after you post and then see if the mission creator modding the enemy rolls higher or not. If you did a preview dice and CAN see it before; say it's a high roll like 19 or 20, and you firmly believe it'll it. You can fluff the dialogue like this:

"Goku leaps into the air with a mighty thrust of his feet and gains great distance over the enemy on the ground. He quickly forms his hands into an attack formation cupping them outward towards the enemy, and creates a small orb of light that gets massive within his palms after a few seconds and fires the attack at Enemy 1 with overwhelming power! Goku uses a powerful energy blast on Enemy 1, If it its it will do 10% dmg with a 10% stun chance!"

Let's say you roll low, like between 1 and 10. This will be more like what you may post.

"Goku jumps backwards gaining some air distance from the enemy, and begins to form an orb of light in his hands floating just above the ground. It takes some time, longer than usual to prep the attack, but Goku cups his hands towards the foe and manages to form the energy in his palms. Unfortunately he felt weak forming the attack this time due to exhaustion or feeling off currently, so the energy ball was smaller than usual. He then with hesitance, fires it at the enemy but doesn't seem to be quite accurate or as good as he usually does. He hopes it hits. Goku fires a less powerful energy blast at the enemy. If it hits it will do 10% damage with a 10% stun chance."

See the difference?

Lawful is a good guy or girl or vice versa character that follows all rules of the Life Sphere and is sworn to protect it and the innocent(Think Captain America or in Nintendo terms, one of the royal fire emblem characters like Marth or Roy)

Neutral is a character that doesn't pick sides. Someone or something that is in it for themselves and will only help or support another or fight for a cause that benefits THEM (Think Shadow The Hedgehog, or Waluigi or Wario; those these characters as well as others that are typically portrayed as dastardly or 'iffy' in the Nintendo games can have completely different personalities here on Li. Its up to the creator how they want to do it.)

Chaotic or Evil is a completely uncontrollable temper type character. Someone that can act out at any time with unexpected results. Having no desire to take sides at all, but someone that acts purely based on their own desires or beliefs. Anything can trigger them. A comment, the way someone looks, a certain place, etc definitely someone who does not obey rules but follow their own whim. (Examples of this would easily be characters like Sephiroth or Andross)

Hope that helps.
