So... I pretty much messed up my forums. I have no backup and I'm really pissed at myself for not researching more. I apologize for my mess up. I'm not sure what I'm going to do at this point. Either try to rebuild the forums or find a forums where I can't mess things up again. If anyone has suggestions for some excellent free forums, let me know. I'm going to bash my head against my keyboard for awhile.

Edit/Update: I actually found a backup. Its over a year old though, but better than nothing at all. Please bear with me as I try to fix the background problem.

So i was messing around with my title for fun and thought id start a thread on favorite character. Post a pic, and why they are your favorite and what ff they are from. Also im sure this has been done before im just not looking.



Mine is obviously Kurasame.

Name: Kurasame Susaya
Game: Final fantasy Type-0
Why: Because hes the commanding officer of class zero, an utter badass. Known as the Ice Reaper and was part of a group known as the Four Champions (the strongest soldiers in Rubrum) and is followed by a Tonberry doll.

When one of their number betrayed and attempted to murder the other three, they were defeated with grievous injuries. Though she was near death, Miwa, the female leader in the group cast a spell of revival to save Kurasame. To ensure he would remember what had occurred as the Vermilion Bird Crystal would erase his memories of his fallen comrades, Kurasame wrote the incident down on the ground with his own blood while watching her die.

He stubbornly refused to get his wounded face treated, leaving a scar under his mask, and never fully recovered from the wounds he received from the traitor, resulting in his retirement from the battlefield. Kurasame was the only survivor among the four and it is said that the traitor's Cactuar still lurks within Akademeia.

Just like the title says, if you find something silly that's FF-related, put it here.

Merry Christmas! Sorry for the lack of updates lately. Getting around to that soon.

I've been looking into creating a campaign using as much as I can from ffd20. I haven't been on this forum for about a year so its been some time and I'm re reading through everything, its a process lol.

my general idea is to do an interesting mix between final fantasy games but with my own twist, my own world, ECT. So I had the idea of shinra corporation, archadien empire, and a group of freedom fighters (not avalanche I promise lol). My purpose was to generally be a story of control of the lands. You have the shinra corporation (thought about changing the name but I'm not sure yet) fighting for industrialization. The empire fighting for conquest and monarchy. And the freedom fighters who fight for the people or rather the land. I plan to let my players decide who to fight for, be with, and that would obviously decide on the style of play and such but as an overall campaign im a little stumped. Shinra will give them missions that they will pursue and complete (with limitations on uniform and maybe with rank). That could lead into a greater plot point but I'm not sure what to do with the plot point while still staying original. Any ideas? I don't even mind of the idea involves the super ultra mega death cataur. Just looking for advice and insight. I'm unsure what my players want to fight for, but I'm sure it might be shinra or arcadia.

Has anyone started converting these classes to fifth edition yet? Just curious. Ive started to convert some of them, in my spare time.

Twice in the last 48 hours threads have been made by new members contained untrustworthy links and paragraphs of odd and out of place content. One talking about 'FIFA coins' and another about moving companies in Mumbai and other parts of India...

I have tried to keep on top of this, but as a heads up to all members:

DO NOT follow any links in strange out-of-place threads.

In fact, DO NOT follow links period- there's isn't a rule against linking material but short of pdfs and google docs by trusted members, I would advise against it heavily.

It is unclear why these strange occurences started, and I am not going to test the links to see how little or much threat they pose, but please exercise caution as you peruse the forums.

Thank you for your time.

This is not related to FF exactly and is more of a general roleplay question

For context our group is lvl 5- Consisting of Hunter, Aegis (Tank), Sorcerer and Hexblade

My group was playing a game yesterday and we realized that NOONE chose to specialize in the Face skills (we don't do the talking so much) and Knowledge checks were left vastly bare (we have a few of the- I want to know about this monster- skills, but none of the -Oh look at the lovely architecture- skills)

SO

We end up needing to obtain information on a situation. There is a concealed dungeon in a tower and bla bla bla we go in and there is a pile of ash, some black goo on a table and scorch marks around. My character is a bounty hunter and I extrapolate some information via an AMAZING survival/tracking role (it was over 30 and I did NOT take 20- I was pretty proud of this moment) and found out that: 3 peopleish things *appeared* in this area (ie did NOT use the stairs) they did something and a 4th peopleish thing *appeared* the 3 grabbed 4th and put him on a table, then moved him to the wall, something happened and ashes.

With that information we find out that none of the 3 people are people we have met (feet tracks don't match), that black goo is demon blood, that the 3 did some sorta summoning to get 4th and 4th was killed by a holy weapon. (Various minor spellcrafting, heal and some Knowledge planes/religion)

Awesome! We were moving along. And when I heard "It is demon blood." I thought/said "Oh Blood Biography!"

-so out of character I will admit that I am a little older than my group and have several years more experience with the table top RPG-ing and even with PF I have a couple more years of experience. So this is TOTALLY one of those things where the experienced player knows something that would help, but is not exactly in game information-

And the other players look at me and I go back to my in character self: my guy turns to the sorcerer who I constantly call a *necromancer* and I am suspicious of magic BUT he has been a good friend to me and used his magic to fight spiders and evil and save me from said spidery evil so hey I am LEARNING! "Divine the origins of this creature."
He replies that he does not know how to do that, which is totally cool, as a player I don't expect him to know this spell it is SUPER situational and wouldn't be something I would expect a sorcerer to spend the resource of Spell Known on (unless they were using a blood motif)

As the conversation progresses I suggest a scroll could be purchased that has the appropriate magic for the task and then the sorcerer/player asks: "Would my character know that this spell exists? It isn't the magic that I specialize in and it isn't of a level I can cast"

And I sorta paused... I don't really know. My argument was that we could extrapolate into the real world that I don't know much about aliens, but I know that people believe aliens exist and if I needed to learn more about aliens I could go to a library or google search so more information could be obtained... and re-inserting this into the fantasy world- you might believe there is a spell for everything and thus finding the spell best suited to this might just mean consulting an expert?

Any thoughts? How much about magic would a character be expected to know?

iv been reading through the races in the book and noticed that Genomes wasn't a Race. are they some where else in the book or are they not in there?

If I have a piece of Materia that is level 1 or higher in a non magical weapon, does it still gain exp? I'm a little fuzzy on the details of materia.
