2:56p |
2:56p | Wound Categories-
2:56p |
2:56p | There are six categories of wounds, ranging from the most minor (does not
2:56p | require treat to heal) to the most serious. These categories are defined by
2:56p | the percentage of total HP lost in the specific body location, exactly as it
2:56p | already works.
2:56p |
2:56p | The following table defines wounds for the sake of this system's expansion.
2:56p |
2:56p | Damtype: Type of damage.
2:56p |
2:56p | Label: How a wound appears, to make it easier to RP.
2:56p |
2:56p | Spots: How many spots it has in the 'game' (from 1-26).
2:56p |
2:56p | HPRange: The percentage of HP lost this wound falls into. Both the fifth and
2:56p | sixth wound categories have the same HP range of 81+%; what happens here is
2:56p | that, when a wound hits 81% of HP or more for the first time, a 1d4 is rolled.
2:56p | On a 4, the wound is assigned the most severe sixth category, representing
2:56p | something like a critical fail; otherwise, the wound will be in the fifth
2:56p | category.
2:56p |
2:56p | I.e., 75% of the time, even a KO from a single wound will only take 5 IRL
2:56p | days to fully heal given treatment.
2:56p |
2:56p | Treat: The item used to treat the wound.
2:56p |
2:56p | HealTime-Treat: How long does the wound take to heal if treated, minus
2:56p | other modifiers?
2:56p |
2:56p | HealTime-Untreat: How long does the wound take to heal if not treated?
2:56p |
2:56p | SkillReq: What level of skill is required to be able to treat the wound?
2:56p |
2:56p | Example:
2:56p |
2:56p | Damtype Label Spots HPRange Chance Treat? HealTime-Treat HealTime-Untreat SkillReq
2:56p | Bash a superficial bruise none <21% 100% N/A 1 IRL HOUR 1 IRL HOUR (no treat) (no treat)
2:56p | Bash a deep, aching bruise 4-7 21-40% 100% leeches 2 IRL days 6 IRL days 1 (Inept)
2:56p | Bash several dark, tender bruises 8-11 41-60% 100% leeches 3 IRL days 9 IRL days 15 (Capable)
2:56p | Bash multiple deep, aching bruises 12-15 61-80% 100% leeches 4 IRL days 12 IRL days 36 (Proficient)
2:56p | Bash a swath of pulverized skin 16-19 81%+ 75% leeches 5 IRL days 15 IRL days 47 (Adept)
2:56p | Bash a broken bone 20+ 81%+ 25% leeches 7 IRL days 21 IRL days 61 (Master)
2:56p |
2:56p | The Wound Chart will have entries like this for every common damage type;
2:56p | less common damage types will use the same set of basic labels as they are
2:56p | unlikely to ever occur in play (charm, sound, etc.)

2:56p |
2:56p |
2:56p | Eldes, Septembris 22, 366
2:56p |
2:56p | Wound Recovery and HP
2:56p |
2:56p | The biggest change proposed here is that wounds should affect HP. This is both
2:56p | a matter of realism - if you already have a wound, you probably shouldn't be
2:56p | operating at full capacity! - and a matter of ensuring people actually RP
2:56p | their wounds. No more treating a wound and sleeping/eating til it goes away
2:56p | to be immediately recovered.
2:56p |
2:56p | This requires the following ideas:
2:56p |
2:56p | * When you get a wound, the HP loss you suffer is 'locked up' in the wound,
2:56p | causing direct damage to both your current AND your maximum HP. This can
2:56p | reduce people to a minimum of 1/1 hp.
2:56p |
2:56p | * Wounds will heal over IRL time, depending on the severity of the wound.
2:56p | Untreated wounds WILL heal max HP damage on their own but it will be
2:56p | exceedingly slow - as you can see from the chart above, 1/3 the speed of
2:56p | treated wounds.
2:56p |
2:56p | * A successful treat restores 1/4 of the HP taken up by the wound. For
2:56p | example, let's say you have 400 HP and were knocked down to 0. After all
2:56p | your wounds were treated, you'd be at 100/100 HP.
2:56p |
2:56p | * Eating/sleeping/drinking/etc. do not heal or affect the max HP damage.
2:56p | Instead, they are used to heal back the current HP. I.e., if you're at
2:56p | 100/100 HP one day and the next you tick over to 100/150, now you need to
2:56p | eat/sleep/drink to get to 150/150.
2:56p |
2:56p | * The other 3/4 of the lost HP is held in reserve, lowering your max HP
2:56p | during healing. Each IRL day you get back a fraction of the max HP tied up in
2:56p | that wound. The base rate is simply HP loss/days of healing. So the person with the 400
2:56p | HP's worth of wounds who is at 100/100 post-treat, if all of their wounds
2:56p | would heal in 5 IRL days, would receive 60 HP back (300/5) per IRL day.
2:56p |
2:56p | Examples:
2:56p |
2:56p | Victim has 300 HP. Victim receives a 80 hp bash wound to the leg and a 160
2:56p | hp bash wound to the torso.
2:56p |
2:56p | These are a deep, aching bruise to the leg and several dark, tender bruises
2:56p | on the torso.
2:56p |
2:56p | Immediately after receiving the wounds, the victim has 60/60 hp. A doctor
2:56p | with at least 15 treat is required to treat the torso wound, though any
2:56p | doctor can work on the leg wound.
2:56p |
2:56p | Once the treat is completed, the patient regains 20 of the leg hp's wound
2:56p | and 40 of the torso's wound, and is left with 60/120 hp - 60 to go on the
2:56p | leg, 120 on the torso.
2:56p |
2:56p | The leg wound heals in 2 IRL days, the torso wound in 3, so the leg wound
2:56p | will give back 30 hp on day 1 and 30 on day 2. The torso wound will give back
2:56p | 40 on day 1, 40 on day 2, and 40 on day 3.
2:56p |
2:56p | End of Day 1 post-treat: Victim has 190 max hp (+30 from leg, +40 from torso)
2:56p | End of Day 2 post-treat: Victim has 260 max hp (+30 from leg, +40 from torso)
2:56p | End of Day 3 post-treat: Victim has 300 max hp (+40 from torso)

2:56p |
2:56p | Modifying Wound Recovery
2:56p |
2:56p | * There will be specific wound tonics that help people recover faster - a bonus
2:56p | to recovering under medical supervision. Ideally this could be done by a new
2:56p | soft_aff type, boost_heal, that allows you to restore a specified amount of
2:56p | extra health on the turnover. This could be added to some drugs like Paynifier's
2:56p | Punch so painkillers help you heal, for example.
2:56p |
2:56p | * Also, if a Physician with extra skill (i.e., more ranks than is required to
2:56p | treat the wound) treats it, there will be a bonus to recovery. For every ten
2:56p | ranks above the wound's required skill, capping at effective skill of 75 OR at
2:56p | 30 ranks above the wound req (whatever is lower), add +5 hp regen per day.
2:56p | Round this down, so it's +5 at 10, +10 at 20, and +15 at 30.
2:56p |
2:56p | So, revisiting our previous example:
2:56p |
2:56p | Victim has 300 HP. Victim receives a 80 hp bash wound to the leg and a 160
2:56p | hp bash wound to the torso.
2:56p |
2:56p | These are a deep, aching bruise to the leg and several dark, tender bruises
2:56p | on the torso.
2:56p |
2:56p | Immediately after receiving the wounds, the victim has 60/60 hp. A doctor
2:56p | with at least 15 treat is required to treat the torso wound, though any
2:56p | doctor can work on the leg wound. A doctor with 31 treat treats the patient.
2:56p | This is a benefit of 30 ranks over the weaker wound (+15 hp regen) and a
2:56p | benefit of 16 ranks over the worse wound (+5 hp regen).
2:56p |
2:56p | Once the treat is completed, the patient regains 20 of the leg hp's wound
2:56p | and 40 of the torso's wound, and is left with 60/120 hp - 60 to go on the
2:56p | leg, 120 on the torso.
2:56p |
2:56p | The leg wound heals in 2 IRL days, the torso wound in 3, so the leg wound
2:56p | will give back 30 hp on day 1 and 30 on day 2. The torso wound will give back
2:56p | 40 on day 1, 40 on day 2, and 40 on day 3.
2:56p |
2:56p | End of Day 1 post-treat: Victim has 210 max hp (+45 from leg with doctor bonus,
2:56p | +45 from torso with doctor bonus)
2:56p | End of Day 2 post-treat: Victim has 270 max hp (+15 from leg wound and it heals;
2:56p | +45 from torso)
2:56p | End of Day 3 post-treat: Victim has 300 max hp (+30 from torso and it heals)

3:02p | Aios claims to Kinaed, "Just don't want someone to remember that later and go "yeah lets do it" because sometimes there's benefits =)"
3:02p |
3:02p | Kinaed nods at Aios.

3:02p |
3:02p | Roald queries, "When is the chat proper?"
3:02p |
3:02p |
3:02p | Kinaed states, "Okay, let's get this chat rolling."
3:02p |
3:02p |
3:02p | Kinaed says, "Is there anyone willing to volunteer to be our Scribe today? This entails some QP to post a log of the OOC Chat up on the forums for those who could not attend."
3:02p |
3:02p |
3:02p | Misune raises hand
3:02p |

3:02p | Aios says, "I wi-"
3:02p |
3:02p | Roald looks at a book in his hands.
3:02p |
3:02p |
3:02p | Kinaed claims, "Misune, I'm going to let Aios given that between you and Tomas, I think someone else deserves a chance
"3:02p |
3:03p | Kinaed pontificates to Aios, "Thank you!"
3:03p |
3:03p |
3:03p | Aios states, "Hee, thanks."
3:03p |
3:03p |
3:03p | Misune says, "Fair enough"

3:03p |
3:03p | - Staff Updates
3:03p | - Player Heartbeat
3:03p | - Player Topics
3:03p |
3:03p | Is there anything anyone would like to add to the agenda to make certain we discuss it today?"

3:03p |
3:03p | Roald looks at a book in his hands.
3:03p |
3:03p |
3:03p | Misune states, "I actually have something minor to bring up"
3:03p |
3:04p |
3:04p | Tomas claims, "I have an idea"
3:04p |
3:04p |
3:04p | Tomas says OOCly, "To talk about"
3:04p |
3:04p | Roald looks at a book in his hands.
3:04p |
3:04p |
3:04p | Kinaed says, "I'll kick off the Agenda - last week... I specced out the wholist redo to prevent mages from being detected during meditation, added a spec for "Player Hour Anniversaries" and wrote the tracking spec."
3:04p |
3:04p |
3:04p | Kinaed states, ".. I didn't finish roles or eavesdropping, sorry folks."

3:05p |

3:05p | Mika states, "When you've logged 500 rp hours we'll add lore or stuff to canonize your character in the world"
3:05p |
3:05p |
3:05p | Roderick says, "The med redo seemed to work pretty well, but anybody who spams who as much as I still sometimes notices"
3:05p |
3:05p |
3:05p | Kinaed claims, "The wholist redo is a functional underneath change that few people will see a visual change on, but may note that they don't jump around the wholist during linkdeath... WHEN it comes into play. Az is working on this item as a priority, but it's complex and will take time."
3:05p |
3:06p |
3:06p | Misune trails off, "Hmm..."
3:06p |
3:06p |
3:06p | Orlando says OOCly, "... 2000 RP hours. How many cannons do I get?"
3:06p |
3:06p |
3:06p | Kinaed says, "As Mika said, when you achieve 500 hours of RP, and every 500 hours thereafter, the staff will add permanent lore to the game about your character."
3:06p |
3:06p |
3:06p | Roderick questions, "Wait. It isn't in yet? I must be going crazy"
3:06p |
3:06p |
3:06p | Galen states, "Heck...! I haven't even logged my first 500 yet."
3:06p |
3:06p | Kinaed states to Roderick, "The wholist stuff and the player anniversary stuff hasn't gone in."
3:06p |
3:07p | Kinaed nods at Galen.

3:07p | Takta states, "We made the number pretty big. *grin*"
3:07p |
3:07p |
3:07p | Orlando claims, "This is a VERY old character."
3:07p |
3:07p | Kinaed says to Orlando, "I don't know if we'll retrofit the anniversaries. We'll have to look up who we owe and decide by how much."

3:07p |
3:07p | Kinaed states, "I think I'll make the tracking spec visible to all."
3:07p |
3:08p |
3:08p | Kinaed has written a new note, Implement the Tracking Spec (Edited by Kinaed), on the Bugs board.
3:08p |
3:08p |
3:08p | Tomas wonders, "In one year I would have earned almost 3? not too bad"
3:08p |
3:08p |
3:08p | Takta says, "Anybody extant with that many hours probably has lore about them."
3:08p |
3:08p |
3:08p | Takta states, "So we may not need to worry about doing anything retroactive."
3:08p |
3:08p |
3:08p | Misune states, "Will save comments on it till we are actually closer to the spec being a real thing"
3:08p |
3:08p | Kinaed states, "That is how tracking will work - one minor change is that Azarial suggested that, rather than using travel, the player attempt to silent travel the path in the history of a character's list."
3:08p |
3:08p | Kinaed nods at Takta.
3:08p |
3:08p | Tomas trails off to Takta, "I doubt there is lore about me. or if there is..."
3:08p |
3:09p |
3:09p | Kinaed claims to Misune, "The lore spec is essentially, when a player hits 500 hours, a typo board post is thrown up telling the staff to add lore."
3:09p |
3:09p |
3:09p | Kinaed states, "We may decide not to do anything retroactive because of workload. We'll see."
3:09p |
3:09p |
3:09p | Azarial queries, "Just the first 500? or every 500?"
3:09p |
3:10p |
3:10p | Kinaed claims, "That's my update. Azarial, you're up."
3:10p |
3:10p | Kinaed says to Azarial, "Every 500."
3:10p |
3:10p |
3:10p | A tall, bearded vavardian man with long dark hair claims, "May not be too difficult. There are probably only a handful of characters on grid who have 500 /rp/ hours currently."
3:10p |
3:10p |
3:10p | Misune trails off, "I understand kinaed. Just I do have some... views on it but I'd rather wait till it's a bit more ready before I state my views on it"
3:10p |
3:10p |
3:10p | Aios questions, "Is that staff-added lore separate from any that might already have been put in by player request?"
3:10p |
3:10p |
3:10p | Azarial says, "Umm. assorted smaller changes, and I think combat is finally kink free again."
3:10p |
3:10p |
3:10p | Aios says, "During those 500hrs"
3:10p |
3:10p |
3:10p | Azarial says, "I would assume different."
3:10p |
3:10p |
3:10p | Takta claims, "I imagine we'd check with the player to ask what they've done that's lore-worthy."
3:10p |
3:11p |
3:11p | Takta states, "And give them a chance to submit stuff that isn't already out there."
3:11p |
3:11p |
3:11p | Galen muses, "Would this have any effect on the thing I discussed with staff a couple nights ago...?"
3:11p |
3:11p |
3:11p | Aios claims, "Makes sense."
3:11p |
3:11p | Kinaed says to Galen, "No."
3:11p |
3:11p |
3:11p | Galen pontificates, "Ok, got it!"
3:11p |
3:11p |
3:11p | Galen states, "What if I get to 500 RP hours without accomplishing anything noteworthy"
3:11p |
3:11p |
3:11p | Misune asks, "Would player submissions still be allowed for lore, or would this be the only way to get lore? Afterall some characters do memorable things shortly after coming into the game"
3:11p |
3:12p | Kinaed says to Galen, "Then we can choose not to write anything about you - but I suspect that'd be hard to do."
3:12p |
3:12p |
3:12p | Takta states, "Player submissions will always be fine for lore."
3:12p |
3:12p |
3:12p | Azarial says, "Changed the output and rewards for shoot and fire."
3:12p |
3:12p | Aios says to Galen, ""Some guy has been seen around here. He doesn't really do much, but man does he hang out.""
3:12p |
3:12p | Temi claims to Galen, "You're probably known for hanging around somewhere, perhaps."
3:12p |
3:12p | Mika states to Galen, "We could still add lore about your character existing and being remembered"
3:12p |
3:12p | Aios grins at Temi.
3:12p |
3:12p | Azarial says, "Crime nots for keys will only pop when they manage to use the key."
3:12p |
3:12p | Temi claims, "I don't think this is intended to supplant anything."
3:12p |
3:12p | Mika claims to Galen, "At the bear and boar eg"
3:12p |
3:12p |
3:12p | Takta claims, "This is just a way to ensure that people who've really stuck around get remebered as they should."
3:12p |
3:12p |
3:12p | Takta states, "Just an extra layer of reminder to keep history alive."
3:12p |
3:12p |
3:12p | Galen declares, "Employee of the month!"
3:12p |
3:12p |
3:12p | Roald states, "Can we ask if things are issues or not? Or not yet."
3:12p |
3:12p | Mika nods.
3:12p |
3:12p |
3:12p | Azarial claims, "More tweaks to sneak and hide."
3:12p |
3:12p |
3:12p | Azarial can;t remember much else.
3:12p |
3:12p |
3:12p | Kinaed says, "This is intended to be a reward for playing and to help our game become alive with its history."
3:12p |
3:12p |
3:12p | Misune muses, "Crime notes for keys? What is this?"
3:12p |
3:13p | Mika claims to Roald, "After staff updates you doods will have the floor"
3:13p |
3:13p | Aios states to Misune, "When someone uses a key that doesn't belong to them."
3:13p |
3:13p | Kinaed claims to Roald, "You can ask whatever you like - particularly if you can wait until the Player Topics time."
3:13p |
3:13p |
3:13p | Misune asks, "So therw will be an alert similar to other crimes for that? Am I understanding this correctly?"
3:13p |
3:13p |
3:13p | Azarial says, "Else it prevents people from having a key collection in the upper 50s and waltzing into places like they own it."
3:13p |
3:13p |
3:13p | Roald claims, "Ok thanks."
3:13p |
3:13p | Aios states to Misune, "There's already an alert for it, he just changed how it works."
3:13p |
3:14p |
3:14p | A tall, bearded vavardian man with long dark hair says, "Has been that way for a while I think. The keys part."
3:14p |
3:14p |
3:14p | Takta states, "Yeah, no big change to player experience here."
3:14p |
3:14p | Aios claims to Misune, "Apparently it fired too often(?) and now it's only on success."
3:14p |
3:14p |
3:14p | Takta claims, "If a bodyguard mob prevents you from using a key you don't own, it used to fire."
3:14p |
3:14p |
3:14p | Takta states, "Even though you didn't use the key."
3:14p |
3:14p |
3:14p | Takta says, "Now it doesn't fire if you aren't able to actually use the key."
3:14p |
3:14p | Kinaed claims to Aios, "That's right. It fired whether you opened the door or not. Now it will only fire if you actually open the door you're not supposed to."
3:14p |
3:14p |
3:14p | Takta says, "The door guard code handles it instead."
3:14p |
3:14p |
3:14p | Misune claims, "But do reeves get alerted to it, that's my question in regards to other crimes, in lawful areas"
3:14p |
3:15p |
3:15p | Aios questions, "Sayto kinaed Just to be clear on choice of words - "Open" or "Unlock"?"
3:15p |
3:15p | Aios fails sayto.
3:15p |
3:15p | Kinaed says to Misune, "Yes."
3:15p |
3:15p |
3:15p | Azarial says, "It prevented someone from using the key and getting in over several attempts by preempting it; the change was to prevent failed efforts form reporting."
3:15p |
3:15p | Kinaed says to Aios, "Unlock."
3:15p |
3:15p | Aios nods at Kinaed.
3:15p |
3:15p |
3:15p | Kinaed muses, "Any further questions for Az? Az, anything further to add?"
3:15p |
3:15p |
3:15p | Misune says, "That seems kind of... odd. Breaking and entering I could understand being alerted to reeves... but using a key that does infact unlock a building.. huh"
3:15p |
3:15p |
3:15p | Azarial says, "...I don;t think so."
3:15p |
3:15p |
3:15p | Roald queries, "So it will be a crime to own many keys?"
3:15p |
3:16p | Aios claims to Roald, "Only if you use them to unlock places you don't belong in."
3:16p |
3:16p |
3:16p | Azarial claims, "Keys you don;t own."
3:16p |
3:16p | Kinaed states to Roald, "No, it's a crime to break into a place you don't belong."
3:16p |
3:16p |
3:16p | Misune asks, "I thought you couldn't use a key you didn't own anyway?"
3:16p |
3:16p | Kinaed states to Misune, "You can, it just reports as a crime."
3:16p |
3:16p |
3:16p | Temi states, "Hey, I saw some weird person I've never seen around before opening the door to Joe's house and heading in."
3:16p |
3:16p |
3:16p | A tall, bearded vavardian man with long dark hair states, "You can but it sends a crime alert"
3:16p |
3:16p |
3:16p | Kinaed claims, "Always could."
3:16p |
3:16p |
3:16p | Azarial states, "This came in from a player or two keeping and copying confiscted keys for repaated investigations and looting after torture and capture of other players."
3:16p |
3:16p |
3:16p | Misune trails off, "Oh... well never knew that but good to now"
3:16p |
3:17p |
3:17p | Kinaed declaims, "Okay, that's Az... Temi! You're up!"
3:17p |
3:17p |
3:17p | Azarial wasn;t kidding about 50+ phome keys.
3:17p |
3:17p |
3:17p | Temi exclaims, "Okay... magecrafting!"
3:17p |
3:17p |
3:17p | Temi claims, "I've been adding in more recipes, working my way up from the bottom, though I may get bored and change that up."
3:17p |
3:17p |
3:17p | Temi states, "But there's several new recipes. If you're the sort who does tht sort of thing, investigate and have fun."
3:17p |
3:17p |
3:17p | Temi states, "If you're not the sort.. feel free to go on in life blissfully unawares."
3:17p |
3:18p | Temi grins.
3:18p |
3:18p | Kinaed queries to Temi, "About what % complete are you with your changes?"
3:18p |
3:18p | A tall, bearded vavardian man with long dark hair muses, "Are they in already?"
3:18p |
3:18p | Kinaed has transferred Sawyer. [OOC]

3:18p | Temi says to Kinaed, "I'd have to count. I'm making good progress again though where I was stopped up by real life for a while"
3:18p |
3:18p | Temi nods at a tall, bearded vavardian man with long dark hair.

3:19p | Temi claims, "Other than that, pretty much RPA stuff. I might transition this whole grain shortage issue to a full on plot header."
3:19p |
3:19p |
3:19p | Kinaed claims, "Cool."
3:19p |
3:20p |
3:20p | Temi says, "And that's it for me."

3:20p |
3:20p |
3:20p | Takta states, "350-odd remain."

3:21p |
3:21p |
3:21p | Takta says, "I also calculated an update to our TI activity statistics. 2015 is shaping up to be a very good year.
"3:21p |
3:21p |
3:21p | Sawyer says, "I take credit."
3:21p |
3:21p |
3:21p | Takta asks, "And... I did the wound spec. Kin, do you want us to discuss this now or later?"
3:21p |
3:21p | Azarial eats a volume named the Wound Spec.
3:21p |
3:22p |
3:22p | Galen exclaims, "No me!!"
3:22p |
3:22p | Azarial puts a small cloth doctor holding out a tin cup in his left hand in pico, a text editor.
3:22p |
3:22p | Azarial studies a piece of mail.

3:22p |
3:22p | Kinaed states, "Let's mvoe it towards last since people need time to read and I'd like Mika and Vistarch to get a word in before we run out of time.
It sounds like the response will be in depth."3:22p |
3:22p |
3:22p | Takta claims, "Gotcha."
3:22p |
3:22p |
3:22p | Kinaed states, "But everyone, please pick up a wound spec and have a read."
3:22p |
3:22p | Kinaed states to Takta, "Thanks
"3:22p |
3:22p |
3:23p | Shasa gets a volume named the Wound Spec.
3:23p |
3:23p |
3:23p | Takta declaims, "That's it! Az has reminded me I'd also like to talk about warrants but that can be later, if even at this meeting. So I'm done!"
3:23p |
3:23p | Sawyer gets a volume named the Wound Spec.
3:23p |
3:23p | Shasa looks at a book in her hands.
