Taunt how it's used in RedBricks ED:
Taunt
Step Number: Rank + Charisma
Action: No
Requires Karma: No Strain: 0
The Taunt talent allows an adept to insult and humiliate a target character, thereby distracting him. The target must be able to understand the adept in order for the Taunt to work. The adept makes a Taunt Test against the target’s Social Defense. If the test
succeeds, the target incurs a ‑1 penalty to all of his Action Tests for each result level achieved on the Taunt Test. Because of the demoralizing effects of a successful taunt, subtract ‑1 from the target’s Social Defense for each result level achieved on the Taunt
Test. Each use of the Taunt talent lasts for a number of rounds equal to the character’s Taunt rank.
It doesn't force the target character to attack the taunting character.

| The Taunt talent allows a character to enrage an opponent, thereby distracting him. The character makes a taunt test taht round rather than attack, using an opponents social defense as the difficulty number. A successful taunt means the charcter is so angered that he must reduce all of his dice steps by en equal number to the taunt's rank, for a number of rounds equal to the rank. Only one taunt can affect a character at any time. |
It's pretty clear that it's only anger that they feel. Nothing else. Which, especially with a warrior means very few types of reactions. Remember that this is the version wer're going off of, since this is what I have. Get me a book eh?
Thought you'll get the books at your birthday?
The target is angered, but not forced to attack the taunting character. I'm fine with that.

You both are so cruel. First time Ralo proofs that he's a windling and you get annoyed.
Annoyed? I'm not annoyed. The doggy likes you! How's that annoyed?!
... sweet little puppy...

If you like Ralo, you could have give him a longer rope to be tied on.
Hey, she said 6 feet. Figuring 1 foot at least under the desk gives 5 feet. That isn't straight vertical, meaning you can only go up about three feet. Hate geometry man, not me!
Hate the game, not the player...
Okok, bad wording on my side.
And I hate geometry. As much as gear lists.

Fisty, did you do so finally?
A floor plan would be soooooo great.
Yes I DLed it. I hav a floor plan worked out. I jsut don't ahve it in a cmputer format
To make it easy, picture a rectangle. That rectangle is the central area. Then put another spece on the top and bottom. That's the hallways connecting to the towers.
This would be a top view BTW. There are two floors remember. the 'third' would be the four tower levels.

FYI, I won't be at home from May 7h to 11th and I don't know if I'll have the time for longer internet sessions. I'll be on vacation with four of the people I'm working with, visiting lovely Dresden. So please be patient if the game slows down a bit in that time.

OK, now let's set up the ED character sheet. For starters, multiply all of your attributes x3. Strength is Strenght, Body is Toughness, Average of Reaction and Agility is Dexterity. Logic is Perception. Willpower is Willpower. Charisma is Charsima.
Your gear is gone except for your arm band foci thing
your skills only matter if they're relevant. So if you have an electronics skill, don't boether writing it down.
Sorcery (G) becomes the Spellcasting Talent. Assensing becaomse the Astral Sight Talent. So put those two on a Talent list, and the rest under Skills. Look at the beginning of the thread ofr other PC examples.

One day you have to tell the full story of Morgana-Liv-however.
It's a long and interesting one.
On second thought, anyone that feels up to writing out their full cahracter backround at length will get LP. Obviously this will be easier for Morgana, who actually has played her acharacter. But you're all 5th circle, so there has to be history there.

I've written some part of Ralos Background at least
What means "at length" to you?

I guess so.
Ralo's background was a good overview. "At length" for a fifth circle character? I'd say 3-4 pages. It should have details like characters names, names of groups they were involved with, or horrors they fought, placesthey've been, things they did, etc. Think back to a chracter you've had that was around 5th circle and the kinds of things they did on the way to that rank. That sort of thing.
Pretty shiny Legend Points in it for you. Then post it on the OOC. This goes for you as well Callidus. SinN, if you want to ... well good luck. I know Hood has a long ass history.

I've never had a character that I played up to 5th circle, I'm GM only in ED. But I know what you mean then. God, my players would so hate me if I forced them to write down their character background en detail. Their adventure log of the current group/campaign is 25 pages in font size 10 now and we hadn't add the last 6 sessions.
well then there ya go.This should be easy short hand. I'm not requiring anyone to do it. But I am rewarding you.
You give LP for it. That's somehow "requiring it"
I'll see what I can do after next week. Did I say that I won't be at home from wednesday to sunday?

We'll hosting a punkrock show in our basement on wednesday which means lot of work over the day and no chance to post here. Thursday I'll drive to a festival (Fuck The Commerce) and return on sunday.
Summer= festival time.

Wow... we really live very different lives.

A friend of ours works as a booking agent for punkrock bands and organised the tour of I Walk The Line from finnland lately. A show got cancelled and we jumped in to give them a possibility to play a show and earn at least some money.
Our basement is really huge, with one room big enough for 40 people standing packed in there and a band playing.
A don't ask about the rest of the house or our garden if you're living in a small aparment.

I missed the festival last year due to a flu, but have been there the five years before. It's a nice one, with only 3,000 visitors and many underground bands.
Thanks for the LP, I'll invest them into Karma points.

Sheet looks excellent. I'll give you your LP earned tonight, once I go back over the BttF 1 thread to double check. Technically you aren't a 1st circle wizard yet, much less 5th, but leave it as is. It's good.
The only thing you missed is karma, which replaces edge. You haev 2 edge remaining, so you'll ahve 8 karma , out of hte 40 you can have max as a human. Your karma dice is a D8.

Only put the talents up to 5th 'cos that's where Astral Sight is, but forgot to put my disciplines in there and knew I'd forgotten something with the karma *8->

Precisely!

Me too. Didn't saved the mail in my "Sent Items" folder. All I have is the general description of him:
Description of Ralo
Being slender even for a windling, Ralo stands 19 inches high and weights around 10 pounds. His skin is currently of a bright light blue, while his long and wild hair has a deep yellow color. Ralo sports several tattoos: a tiny sun around his right eye, a pattern of interweaving circles on this left lower arm and a stylized heart on his right upper arm. All tattoos are clearly the work of a windling, other name-givers won't be able to tattoo such fine lines and many details.
Ralo wears a light white shirt and light red pants, in which whirling blue patterns are woven. Both shirt and pants are made of linen.
His wings shimmer silver with a hint of gold, like threads, in it.
Thanks. I'll put up the Ralo pic on my Deviant Art pic some time tonight. It's not great, but it's at least complete. Like I said, I usually like to wait until I have a better idea of the character. The inking could have gone better, but I'll let you critique it your self.
In memorandum to emo samurai: to see a sketch of Ralo will be AWESOME!
Where can I see the pic, btw?

Well crap. I put it up on the deviantart page I set up here but it didn't take. It scanned like crap anyway so I'm going to redo it. But I'll get it up in the gallery today some time. Thanks for the patience.
Ok Grinder, here's Ralo. I decided to bypass all the problems with shading by shading it all in ink. Not something I do very often, but for once, I was pretty pleased with the results. I look forward to doing more on him once he's got a bit more gear and such so that there's more to work with on 'ward robe'.
Anyone else that wants a PC sketch, lemme know. It might not happen fast but it'll happen.
