World of Warcraft
How many of you play or have played World of Warcraft? This RP will be based on WoW. Ive been brewing this one for a while so i hope it succeeds!
Making a character
Players will choose a faction, predefined race and a predefined class. You can name your character whatever you want, but all racial and class stats and abilities will be predefined. Im doing this to streamline things, make it fair for everyone, and give everyone a quick reference so things dont get slowed down. Characters will have six stats; Strength, Dexterity, Agility, Stamina, Intellect and luck.
STATS
Strength - Increases damage and helps with physical tasks
Dexterity - Increases aim
Stamina - Increases hitpoints and resistances
Agility - Increases running, dodging, acrobatic feats
Charisma - Increases your influence on others
Intellect - Increases spell success, also helps with puzzle quests
Luck - Increases success in quests, spell sucess, etc
Luck will aid in the success of quests, but more importantly luck will play a big factor in treasures you find whilst traveling, loot and other things. All characters will start with a luck value of 5. The other stats will be predefined for each race, however different classes will give different bonuses to these stats. Players will first choose either Alliance or Horde, then they may choose from the following races (I have removed some to help streamline things, however if the race/class you want isnt there just ask and ill create it)
HORDE
Troll - STR(6), DEX(9), STA(6), AGI(8), CHA(7), INT(7)
Undead - STR(8), DEX(7), STA(8), AGI(7), CHA(6), INT(7)
Orc - STR(9), DEX(6), STA(9), AGI(7), CHA(6), INT(6)
Blood Elf - STR(6), DEX(8), STA(6), AGI(7), CHA(8), INT(9)
ALLIANCE
Night Elf - STR(6), DEX(8), STA(6), AGI(9), CHA(7), INT(7)
Human - STR(7), DEX(7), STA(7), AGI(7), CHA(8), INT(7)
Dwarf - STR(8), DEX(9), STA(6), AGI(5), CHA(7), INT(8)
Worgen - STR(7), DEX(7), STA(9), AGI(8), CHA(6), INT(6)
In World of Warcraft, certain races cannot use certain classes, eg a Night Elf cannot be a Paladin. In order to streamline things and keep it simple, all races may pick any class they choose. Classes are as follows:
CLASSES
Warrior - Bonus to STR, more proficient with weaponry
Paladin - Bonus to STA, increased damage to undead
Rogue - Bonus to AGI, increased stealth
Hunter - Bonus to DEX, May travel with a pet
Shaman - Bonus to CHA, may summon elementals
Warlock - Bonus to INT, may use a variety of infliction spells(curses, poisons, damage over time abilities)
Mage - Bonus to INT, may use a variety of direct damage spells
Priest - Bonus to CHA, ability to heal self and others
Druid - Ability to change forms, bonus changes depending on form. Bear(STR), Cat(AGI) available from start
HOW TO PLAY
After making your character you will be thrown into the land of azeroth. Players will embark on quests to gain experience, loot and gold. I am the Gamemaster and will take the role of most important NPC's as well as progressing the storyline. These NPC's can include shopkeepers, quest givers and bosses. The game will be totally open, you can go wherever you please provided you have the means to get there. Speaking of death, there is none. If you fall in battle you will be ressurected at the nearest graveyard. The game wont rely on any one player to progress forward. Whilst interaction with other players is encouraged, you may quest alone, or just spend your days fishing. The choice is yours.
QUESTS
Quests will be given out via NPC's (controlled by me). Players may approach quest givers when in any city or town, or may be approached by quest givers whilst out of their travels. There will be a variety of quests from gathering, killing, researching, fishing, cooking... the list goes on. Each quest will have a stat requirement. Two of the stats will be shown to you before accepting, one will be hidden. You may accepy any quest even if you are below the requirements. Quest outcomes are decided with a D&D style dice roll on a 20 side dice.
For a basic example a quest to kill a nearby bandit may require STR(11), AGIL(13) and STAM(12), your stats are STR(12), AGIL(12) and STA(13). I would use a 20 side dice (well a program anyway) and put a modifier of +1 for STR, -1 for AGI and +1 for STA. You will end up with 3 numbers out of 20, combining to give you a total score out of 60. Your total score will determine your success. 0-20 will end in failure, 20-40 will be a success, 40-60 will also succeed but with better results. Once all quests at a given NPC are completed, players can move on to other quest givers with harder quests.
LOOT
Players may receive loot in a variety of ways. the most common being questing, however players may find loot during their travels, whilst fishing, or purchase items at a merchants. Upgraded armours and weapons will give a bonus to your base stats. Rare items may give a perminant bonus to stats. Trinkets and bonuses are the only way to raise the Luck stat. Players will also receive gold for completing quests. The amount will be shown to the player before accepting the quest. Any gold found through other means will be decided in value by a dice roll.
I hope this is enough info to get some nibbles. Ill request players create their characters in this thread first. A nice format would be as follows,
Name:
Faction:
Race:
Class:
Brief Description:
To help speed things up, Horde players will start in one major city, alliance in another, rather than having a separate town for each race. This will make things easier on me and aid players that want to work together early on. If this thread shows enough interest ill create the IC thread which will contain a map of the land to help people get their bearings.

I have never touched WoW, but if that isn't a problem I can't miss an opportunity to RP with one of the Glade's Golden Age RPers.
Is there anything I should read up on to join this?

Not really, the RP will be based upon WoW but there shouldnt be anything you dont understand. I will be creating my own Geography, so you dont even have to know the land. Provided you have some knowledge of warcraft in general, you'll be fine!

Sounds good. Any game mechanics involved besides the one describes in the masterpost? Or is it a freestyle? (i.e. will there be a lot of dice rolling and calculating like in DnD?)

I don't get it. Why are Blood Elves a Horde race but not Goblins? Why are Night Elves an Alliance race but not Gnomes?
Also, no Death Knight and Monk class?
And why make geography? Azeroth is huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge, there is so much space to use and so many things happening in its lore right now. Like how there's an all out war in Lordaeron between the Alliance and the Forsaken atm. The Orcs also want to conquer all of Kalimdor now.

Like I said, i'm streamlining things for the sake of the RP. Too many classes makes it hard to, make them all unique with stats. Im creating my own geography because azeroth is just too large for a RP that might contain only 5 people. However if players are against it so much I can use the existing lands. Also for the sake of people like Geny I don't want the story to follow wow lore exactly. I want everyone to be able to participate, not just wow veterans

I'm still waiting for an answer to my last question, but I'll join anyway. Just give me a couple of days to decide on a character.

I think I want to be a Blood Elf Hunter, but I'm afraid he's going to end up being a Cale rip-off. A Troll Hunter maybe?

Sorry about the late reply Geny, was having some net troubles. No there arent really any other game mechanics other than the ones ive already explained. Any ideas or suggestions are welcome in this thread before the IC thread gets started
