MAGIC SYSTEM
Our magic system is heavily inspired by DnD and other table-top RP stat systems.SPECIALTIES Each Magic specializes in a different field. The three fields are Offensive, Defensive, and Supportive. You decide what area you want your Magic to specialize in and gain certain benefits and the ability to choose from a unique pool of abilities.
Offensive Magic Offensive Magic specializes in dealing large amounts of damage to enemies. At character creation, they receive a +5 bonus to their attack stat. Their HP is equal to stamina x10.
Defensive Magic Defensive Magic specializes in mitigating and or avoiding large amounts of damage. At character creation, they receive a +5 bonus to their defense or stamina stat. Their HP is equal to stamina x20.
Supportive Magic Supportive Magic specializes in buffing, debuffing, healing, and supporting themselves and others. At character creation, they receive a +5 bonus to their heal, stamina, or attack stat. Their HP is equal to stamina x15.
You pick from a large list of abilities and describe its look depending on your chosen Magic type. However, the action, damage, effect, and cost for each spell are set in stone, while the aesthetics are left entirely up to the player. To compensate, we have provided a list big enough to cover everything and are open to suggestions for more.
Defensive Magic Defensive Magic specializes in mitigating and or avoiding large amounts of damage. At character creation, they receive a +5 bonus to their defense or stamina stat. Their HP is equal to stamina x20.
Supportive Magic Supportive Magic specializes in buffing, debuffing, healing, and supporting themselves and others. At character creation, they receive a +5 bonus to their heal, stamina, or attack stat. Their HP is equal to stamina x15.
MAGIC ITEMS Holder and Requip items are to be described in their various spells and Magic descriptions. Any accessory, weapon, or armour with magical properties outside of Holder, Requip, or the various Magics that use items as catalysts for summoning, will be presented as event/special mission rewards with their own unique bonuses and effects.
To maximise your creativity, it is recommended that you write up ability descriptions for your characters first and to worry about the stats later.

BATTLE SYSTEM
While we do use a relatively simple system on FTD for combat, if desired, members are able to refrain from using the battle system in their personal mission threads and social threads that do not break out into fights against other members. However, in staff run events and in legitimate fights against other members, the system must be used.Note: If a stat ends in a decimal, always round up.
STATS
ATTACK – Measures the potency of a character's damaging effects and their accuracy. When you roll 1d20 for your accuracy roll, you get a bonus to the roll depending on how high your attack stat is. The bonus is equal to your ATK stat, i.e - if you rolled a 15, and you have 12 ATK, the roll would be 27 (15 + 12). The damage depends on the ability type used. Even with 0 ATK, the minimum damage you can do is 1.DEFENSE – Measures the character's ability to avoid/block incoming damage. If an accuracy roll is lower than 10 + your Defense stat, it misses. This value is called your Armor Class, or AC for short. If you have 10 DEF, then your AC is 20 (10 + 10 = 20) and that is the number someone has to equate or beat to hit you. Missing can, within reason, be RP’d however you like (evasion, the attack not getting beyond your armour, eating the element, etc).
HEALING – Measures the potency of healing magic.
STAMINA – Measures a character's endurance.
HEALTH POINTS (HP) – Look at the specialty section to see how your HP is calculated. If a character is reduced to 0 HP, they are unconscious and cannot do anything. In a death-enabled thread/board, if another character dedicates all of their actions towards it, they may kill the character. If a character dies, the killer may take their possessions (outside of their Jewels) once the thread completes. The deceased can make a new character and retain their levels, and also get free ability and stat point respecs.
MAGICAL POWER (MP) — All characters begin with 100 MP. It goes up by +5 per level. MP is regenerated at a rate of 5% of your total per post, and 10% if you do not take any offensive actions that spend MP. Your MP regenerates as soon as you use MP.
This Magic Helper can help.
COMBAT & ACTIONS
When you’re in a battle, you have a standard action and a bonus action. Combat practically entirely revolves around using your standard and bonus action to perform abilities. Standard actions tend to be attacks or other things that may take the character’s full attention, while bonus actions are typically used for defensive, supportive, or misc techniques. Certain abilities may grant you an extra action or bonus action. You can spend your standard action for another bonus action, but not the other way around.Once a fight starts, it goes by the established posting order. Posting order changes may be made at the combatants' discretion. One person will post describing their actions, and then include their rolls and combat information at the bottom of their post. The second person will reply and roleplay in accordance to whether or not attacks hit, missed, the ailments that may have been inflicted, etc, before roleplaying out their own actions. Remember, roleplaying out what your character does is mandatory. Just because it is a dice-based system doesn’t make it any less in character.
Each person has 48 hours to respond to the other person’s post or attacks that would have hit automatically hit. The level/stats/abilities you enter the fight with are what you have access to during the fight. If someone is skipped twice in a row, their opponent is able to automatically claim the victory as though the target were reduced to 0 HP.
ATTACK ROLLS
To determine if an attack hits, roll a d20 and any bonuses. To roll, just click the "roll" button. Make a note of how much your accuracy will boost your roll. Your accuracy bonus is half of your ATK. Remove it if you have none. If the attack exceeds an opponent’s Defense, it hits and they must reply accordingly (being hit, using something to mitigate it, etc).ADVANTAGE AND DISADVANTAGE
If a character has advantage they roll two d20s and take the higher number. If they have disadvantage, they roll two d20s and take the lower number.CONDITIONS
To inflict a status if you're using Magical Attack + Condition, your attack roll has to succeed. You also roll a condition roll. Above 10 and the condition is applied. However, some abilities forgo an attack roll and just roll a condition chance. These aren't technically considered "attacks" since there is no attack roll, meaning some abilities do not work against them. i.e. Counter. Conditions stack when applied, in both duration and damage if applicable. This means if you land with a 3 post condition twice on the same turn, it would last for 6 posts.BLIND – A blind attacker has disadvantage on all of their own attack rolls. Roll >10 to inflict.
CHARMED – Someone who is charmed cannot attack the charmer in any way, shape or form, but damage breaks the effect. Roll >10 to inflict.
FRIGHTENED – A frightened attacker has their base attack reduced by 5 points vs the source of their fear. They cannot approach that target while they are in view. Roll >10 to inflict.
GRAPPLED – A grappled individual loses their bonus action and 5 points from their base defense. The character should be fastened in place/incapable of moving. Roll >10 to inflict.
DAMAGE OVER TIME (DOT) – 5 damage per post. Cannot be reduced. Stacks up to three times. Always inflicted on a successful condition roll. Roll >10 to inflict.
PETRIFIED – Creature is transformed into a solid inanimate substance. All attack rolls vs the creature have advantage but damage to the creature is reduced by half. Roll >10 to inflict.
STUNNED – Sufferer spends +5 MP per action for the duration. Roll >10 to inflict.
DENY – Target cannot heal or regain MP. Roll >10 to inflict.
FLEEING
Your ability to flee a fight depends on the amount of justification you have to do so. Having more dexterity, having the opponent ailed with a condition that robs them of some relevant sense/capability that would allow them to give chase, etc, are all viable ways of leaving an ongoing thread. Celestial Spirits have the ability to flee at will through their inherent teleport ability.DURATIONS
For durations, the duration of an ability like Power Up, starts when the move is in use. If you activate Power Up before a fight begins, your duration counter should read (0/3 instead of 1/3). This is because your character has not done anything to warrant the duration countdown truly starting. This changes if a duration starts in response to an opponent. Then it is (1/3).BATTLE INFO

PROGRESSION
We do not use a rank system on FTD. Instead, we use a level system. Like the canon, the only mage rank that truly exists is S-Class, and that title is obtained through reaching level 20. Instead, you gain Jewels through roleplaying. Once you get enough Jewels, you level up. When you do, you gain points to allocate to your stats as well as other bonuses depending on the level. At level 20, each stat has a cap of 50. At 30, each stat has a cap of 100. Consult the chart below to see the gains.Going above level 20 requires your character to be a Guild Master of one of our guilds or one of your own design, the latter of which must involve it becoming an official guild with its own membergroup. A Slayer, however, is able to reach level 25.
In addition to the bonuses, your Magical Power also increases by 5 per level. It takes 3000 Jewels to level up. This amount does not change.
You start with one ability, and gain more as you level. Your starting total stat points is 30. Your starting total MP is 100. When you start, you are given a free complimentary Tier 1 non-magical item. See more information at the Item Shop
