Unfortunately, if it's not in there then we become absolutely ineffective, because at the end of the day "what are we going to do about it". That was the main reason I had to write those. You can't just ask someone to go to jail and then be like "Ok, nevermind then" when they say "No". Our job as law enforcement is to enforce the law, not make friends. If you want to do the popular thing your in the wrong place.

Due to recent confrontations of bandits and general misconduct in Malinor I recommend the following laws are put into place as it seems many people really "don't care" because "what are we going to do about it". Things that get you arrested: 1. Disturbing the Peace. 1a. Up to the discretion of arresting officer. 1b. Can be appealed to a higher ranking law enforcement officer. 3. Threats to life or property. 4. Theft. 5. Brawling. 5a. The only exemption to the Brawling rule is a SINGLE punch as a greeting. All ARREST WORTHY ACTIONS can be elevated to KILLABLE OFFENSES ! See Resisting Arrest below! Things that get you killed (consent to PvP acts): 1. Drawing a weapon of any kind in the presence of Law Enforcement. 1a. A single warning is required before attacking, the format is up to the officer. 2. Assault with a deadly weapon. 3. Resisting arrest. 3a. Includes running away. 3b. Includes acting like the officer does not exist. 3c. Includes continuing to perform the illegal action in question.

On a server that has undead running around calling lightning from the sky I think it could work. But if you want to propose an idea that could be put in to place over it I would be all ears. The only reason I did it is because I couldn't think of anything else that would be useful to archers that wouldn't make them OP'd except for maybe a knockback arrow. Something like... Heavy Hitter (Level/5) = Chance to knock target away from you, max 20%. I added it back into the original post.

Out Of Character: MCName: droolguy Forum Name: droolguy Timezone: (In Relation to GMT) -8 Time spent weekly on LotC: Varies wildly, from none to 10+. Method of contact: [email protected] Guild Experience: Ranger for a few months now. What is your Roleplay Experience? In a military/guard if any? I have 10+ years of RP experience, I am currently on Active Duty. In Character: Character Name: Ukar Race: Elven Combat Experience: I have had multiple engagements with the undead, banditry, and general "threats to public safety" across the land. I am also an experienced dungeon runner and spelunker. Other Skills: Career Adventurer. Short Bio: I joined up with the Rangers originally to help protect people abroad from the threats of the wilderness, due to recent events though I believe that my talents would be better put to use protecting my home. I wish to lend my bow and my sword to the good fight, keeping my fellow Laurelians safe. I believe my combat experience would greatly help your organization and be a true force multiplier. Recite the Vanguard Creed: I will always protect Malinor. I will never except defeat. I will never leave a fallen comrade. I will never quit. So help the grace of Malin, I swear.

Hello, I just thought I would add a small rework to weapon skills that would even them out IMO. Archery Sniper (Level/50) = Bonus damage, 2.0 max. Lucky shot (Level-20) = Chance not to use an arrow when you shoot, 80% max. (or) Heavy Hitter (Level/5) = Chance to knock target away from you, max 20%. Axe Mastery Berserk Fighting (Level/25) = 50% chance of extra damage, 4.0 max. Critical Chance (Level/2) = Double damage chance, 50% max. Disarm (Level/10) = Chance to force players current weapon back into their main inventory, 10% max. Swordsmanship Precision Fighting (Level/50) = Bonus damage, 2.0 max. Parry Chance (Level/2) = Parry Chance, 50% max. Disarm (Level/10) = Chance to force players current weapon back into their main inventory, 10% max. Wrestling Knuckle Dusting (Level/25) = Bonus damage, 4.0 max. Disarm (Level/10) = Chance to force players current weapon back into their main inventory.

The Magic... Magic is supposed to by physically draining to use in almost every form I have ever heard of, which gives us a straightforward way to implement it. System: No new "mana" bars or re-purposing the xp bar, quite simply every time someone casts a spell it drains them and they become tired to the point that they literally start to die (or do die) in extreme cases. This can be easily represented by having each spell use up a portion of someone's food bar and/or health bar. Cast a spell, loose some food, not enough food, loose health, not enough health, fall unconscious (die). The amount of food/health used per cast would be a function of someone's skill with magic in relation to what we could call "Spell Circle" (Basically a fancy way to say spell level). (SpellCircle)/((CurrentMagicSkill)/(MaxMagicSkill))=(SpellCost) Someones effective casting pool would just be their health + hunger bar. So everyone's maximum casting pool would remain the same at 40 points (Counting 1/2s). So a novice caster who has 20% of max skill and has full health and hunger can cast a spell with a circle of up to four and spend his hunger bar OR he can sacrifice his health and cast up to circle eight (Circle 8 spells would insta-kill the player at full health/hunger since they cost 40 points at 20%). Uploaded a nice color coded table, old one is in the spoiler. NOTE: At 50% of max skill a player becomes experienced enough to attempt casting any spell, if at great bodily risk. To keep everyone on the server from just being a magic user I would recommend having it so that it takes a sizable amount of time to gain experience in. After all, basic magic is very abundant in many fantasy settings, but Arch-Wizards are not. Spells: (just getting the ideas down and then ill sort them.) A. Combat: Magic Arrow - Shoot a single arrow at full strength (does not require a bow or arrows). Magic Arrows - Like Magic Arrow, but shoots 3 in a fan shape instead of one. Minor Fireball - Casts a fireball which does 3 damage in a 3x3 area. Lesser Fireball - ...does 4 damage in a 3x3 area. Fireball - ...does 4 damage in a 5x5 area. Improved Fireball - ...does 4 damage in a 5x5 area, sets center block on fire. Minor Lightning - Calls down a lightning bolt that does 3 hearts damage, bypasses armor. Lesser Lightning - ...does 4 damage, bypasses armor. Lightning - ...does 5 damage, bypasses armor. Improved Lightning - ...does 5 damage, bypass armor, points target in random direction. B. Support: Douse Self - Put out a fire on yourself. Douse Other - Put out a fire on someone else. Nourish - Heals another players food bar. Regeneration - Causes targeted player to regenerate 1 health per second for 10 seconds. C. Creation: Summon Stump - Spawn a single random wood block where you are looking. Cloak of Leaves - Summons a shelter made out of leaves 3x3x3 centered on you. Spontaneous Growth - Summons a 1x1x4 tree under your feet. Green Thumb - Causes all vegetation within 5x5 of you to grow/mature instantly. Summon Torch - Spawn a single torch in your pack. Summon Arrow - Spawn a single arrow in your pack. Summon Stonesword - Spawn a single stone sword in your pack. I have run out of time but I will continue and add spells and other things to this post when I can... Update #2 2012PST 5-NOV-11 -> Added a nice color coded table.

IGN: droolguy Character Name: ((droolguy))Ukar Age: 24 IRL 91 IC Timezone: PST Race: Elf, Wood Elf Roleplaying Skill: *A note stuck to the gate at Ranger HQ* To whom this may concern, Hello, my name is Ukar. I have been traveling through the region with the Ranger base at Laurelin for quite some time now due to it's proximity to my land. Naturally I became curious about my neighbors and I began asking questions about your organization. I find that I like what I hear and I would be interested in possibly joining your cause. I too despise the evil that seems intent on choking the life out of our beautiful lands. The aggressiveness of the lawless and the undead only grows greater as time passes, and I feel that I should lend my hand to the cause of good and to protect the people of our world. I would like to talk to one of your recruitment officers, if you could be so kind as to direct me to one I would be most grateful. Please just attach directions and/or a description to this letter as I will check it when I pass by on the way back to my home. Your curious and hopeful neighbor, Ukar Why you wish to join?: I am looking for a little more RP, what better way then to join like minded people. Will you uphold every Rule: Yes.
