I'm a horrible, evil person who stole Okenido's idea. There.

Now that that's out of the way;



I'm running a LP of Wizardry 5! I'll still update my Ball Bullet Gun LP at some point, but I'm also running this game. As you can see, the title screen has some women fondling a giant heart with a giant sword in it. If you win the game, you get two free women, a giant sword, and the heart of a baleen whale. Probably.

Anyway, this is a sort of first person dungeon crawler type thing where you (presumably) quest after the heart of the maelstrom.

We need characters. In this game, you get a default stat spread dependent on your race, and you add to it with a random number of bonus points. The amount of points you can get varies from 7 to (at least) 60, with the vast majority being between 7 and 10. Okenido is doing this the easy way and rerolling everybody's character until they get 9. Instead of doing that, spend 7 bonus points on your stats, and I'll tell you if you rolled more, so you can allocate those. Alternatively, say something like "+2 to strength, +3 to devotion, +2 to vitality, and anything else into luck."


Credit goes to some guy named arch_8ngel. I basically stole this information from a guide he wrote.

Also, there are three alignments; Good, Neutral, and Evil. Good characters and evil characters cannot be in the same party. As far as I know, Evil characters like killing innocent monsters. Good ones dislike it. If you do enough evil stuff, you turn evil. It's the same way with being good.

We have 20 character spots. Please sign up, or I'll commit suicide.

 Evil dwarf fighter. One point into strength, the rest into vitality.
 This is going to be a dwarven dwarf. Enduring like the very rock he was born under.

Boksi; wizards can't be neutral. Also, you're proscribed stat changes wouldn't allow you to be a wizard. You need 12 IQ and 12 Devotion.

Servant Corps and Duke: Here are your characters.

 Wait, does the vitality stat factor into health any time soon?
 I need this guy to be really chunky.

Shad0w: What alignment and class?

Duke: It normally gives you extra HP at level 1, but I guess you rolled low and Servant Corps rolled high. It'll make a big difference very fast.

Neutral Dwarven fighter/meatshield (one point into strength to make him a fighter, the rest into vitality).  Unless you get enough extra points to make him a lord (highly unlikely).

Darn, Duke stole my idea.  We'll have him be the offensive dwarven fighter (everything into strength).

Or, since you already rolled... darn, and I got the low end of the extra points too...

I have no idea. You seem to gain a year of oldness every few levels in this game, or something.
