You can take 3 specialties - but note that they are very specific. Lock picking is too general (give me a type of lock), and it would really be better suited as a Security specialty anyway. Finesse weapons should be a specific Finesse weapon. Tight rope walking works.

also the repeating crossbow most likely doesn't leave china till the 1400s.
da vinci invented one in 1500, but as of our time period, europe is still using longbowmen, I think.

Steeple is going to have an identical suit of Armor, exactly like Daedalus's PC, only made of even more expensive materials. Maybe black aligator leather with baby harp seal fur linings. XD

The most common one on other people char sheets: Combat reflexes: gives +2 to initiative

Other ones are: snappy retorts, ambushes, creative strategy,

anything involving thinking quickly can be wits, whether it's combat or social skills.

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #80 on:** January 07, 2015, 03:20:20 pm »

Hmm - definitely like the Combat Reflexes one!

I'd also go with 'Gawd Awful Puns', but I don't actually do very well with puns myself haha!

So Berka, you can choose 4 level one rituals, three level 2 rituals, two level 3 rituals and one level 4 ritual for Thaumturgy (find the list here at the bottom: http://reference.l2fury.com/index.php/Thaumaturgy )

After that you're basically done and you can make a thread titled with your Character's name. Then make, like, 4 empty posts just for fun (and for me to format all the info you have here in a way that makes it all nice and easy for me).

Just looking through all of these, is that the one where an object flies into a group of enemies then returns with stolen blood?

I like the look of the spirit paths, you can create fetishes for us all!

Aman's got it down, land of the dead. If you were skilled in Necromancy/ the path of spirit then yeah, but right now you would be basically helpless there. The only benefit you would gain would be an escape from most danger (since very few enemies can follow you into the shadowlands), but it's not guaranteed you wouldn't be confronted with greater dangers once in the shadowlands.

Also, I haven't memorized the names of these rituals, doubt anyone else has, so, uh, names please? XD (if you want help, anyway).

Drakilian · « **Reply #95 on:** January 09, 2015, 06:59:54 pm »

Machine blitz is basically worthless except for a siege situation (so far there has only been one siege situation, and there were no siege weapons). I'd suggest taking something else instead of that.

Note that Peace of the dead only affects a single enemy, though it IS very useful.

Drawing upon the Bound looks the nicest though, you can train ghouls/bind enemy vampires specifically for their disciplines and then never bring them anywhere dangerous, just leave them at your haven or someplace and take advantage of the increased power.

Actually the description is piss poor to the extreme. But it is clear from the lower half that it is actually an Area Effect Spell that threatens all but the caster who enter the area.

Feel free to rule it anyway you want though - just saying

Drakilian · « **Reply #97 on:** January 09, 2015, 07:13:49 pm »

That would make it way too powerful for a mere level 4 ritual... Unless 5000 square yards isn't as big as it seems in my head? I'm not good with square measurements of space, but it seems like you could take out an entire village or army with a single lucky casting of this ritual.

It would be much easier to judge whether or not this is acceptable if I knew how long the ritual was supposed to last too.

EDIT: Yeah, re-reading it it's everyone in the area of effect.

I think i'd be willing to accept it anyway as long as you're fine with it only lasting as many turns as the number of successes you roll, however.

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #98 on:** January 09, 2015, 07:19:49 pm »

Yeah, 5000 square equals only 70 on each side haha!

Hmm... tough choice. I really want the Draw from Bond thing - but as a Malk, having a pure aura is almost too good a joke to pass up.

Also, like the sleep thing, but probably putting that on the back burner...

Forge · « **Reply #99 on:** January 09, 2015, 07:22:43 pm »

Hmm that area is around, 1 house with a small amount of land around it. Not very big actually, the math is missleading lol

The Draw from Bond thing looks awesome though. Blood Bind a Ghoul that concentrates purely on fortituce until it gets like 6 or 7th level then you get ridiculous armour
