What's the difference between banal combat and the physical skills, specifically melee, agility, and practicality?
But banal is required for (most) non-magical weapon use.

Banal is used for things like knuckledusters, firearms, swords/clubs/knives, grenades. It is also used for fists, provided you are fighting something reasonably humanish.

For example, trying to fire a pistol would use your (banal+aim)/2, generally. (Firing at point blank could use melee.)

Practicality, agility and melee are all used with magical weapons or banal ones, or even unusual weapons/tools that don't require a magical stat but are somewhat... exotic. Futhermore, they can be used for things banal combat would not involve, such as (respectively) baking a cake, climbing a wall, and hitting a guy with a many-eyed tentacle.

Interesting.

Name: Sand

Backstory: Pun lover, glass cannon, demon fetishist. Seeks to summon a succubus (for research purposes). That or just the most crazy crap possible because [insert DOOM theme here]. Seriously, just want to summon demons for fun and profit. And violence.  Enjoys making the worst decisions possible.

Physical Description: Skinny, bald headed, pale, and sickly but simultaneously energetic and manic. Like a crack head crossed with a cheerleader going through chemo. Twitches, bounces, shimmies and vibrates.

Stats:
Magical Stats:

Puissant fettle - 0
Ritual potency - 3
Runic sight - 0
Banal combat - 0
Aim - 0
Melee - 0
Agility - 3
Practicality - 0
I'll WIP my hair back n' forth. Also, do we all have to be female? If so, Piecewise, maybe you should want an incubus, instead.

And no, you don't all have to be girls.

Technically a male witch is known as a warlock. Also, I can has reserve?
To keep things simple it's first come first serve, but if you post a sheet before TankKit does his stats you're in.
There'll also be a waitlist if necessary.

My stats are right there.
Magical Stats:
Ritual potency - How well you connect with otherworldy forces. How powerful the demons you can summon are, and how easily you can summon them. How many gods you can invoke with talismans at once.
Puissant fettle - Puissance (i.e. mana, focus points, the stuff you cast spells, though not miracles, with) regain speed, puissance max
Runic sight - how quickly you discover magic runes, how well you percieve and use them. Runes can be used to enhance your character, or modify the environment, weapons, tools, etc. They can also be used in combat. Runic Sight also enhances your character's vision and detection of magical things.

Physical Stats:
Practicality - Setting things up, crafting, operating systems/computers, driving HGVs, planting explosives, etc. Fighting with Practicality (McGyvering people)
Agility - dodging and jumping into cover, using broomsticks and other smaller vehicles, fighting with agility (high kicks and acrobatics)
Melee - close quarters, parries (wands can be used to parry magic, allowing one to immediately gain puissance from the parried spell), firing point blank

I think he means to say that he's giving 1 point into each of the named stats for both magical and physical stats. In other words,..

Puissant Fettle- 1
Ritual Potency- 1
Runic Sight- 1

Melee- 1
Agility- 1
Practicality- 1

Work on a potential forum game for my return to Bay12. Figure out parts that puzzled me before. Find more things to figure out that I can't. Work on another game instead of solving them. Get distracted and stop working. Remember it a week or two later. Remember I'm still on hiatus. Illogically, Be too ashamed to return yet. Repeat ad nauseam.

Finally have a game completely ready. Wait a week before posting it out of laziness.

My character is female. Just not obviously so because I used no gendered pronouns, I just realized.

Sand is female. Sand is a witch.

Sand, Witch.
