Layonara MMO Please use this forum to discuss the Layonara MMO.


Welcome to the Layonara forums!

Layonara is so much more than a game. We started off as a tabletop Dungeons and Dragons campaign more than a decade ago. Since then we have developed into a fantasy world with as much compelling and engrossing detail as you will find anywhere.

Our current showcase is a Neverwinter Nights version of Layonara, where our world comes to life in a finely polished persistent world which you can play free of charge. These forums are set up to support and accentuate our player's experiences, but it goes far beyond that.

After years of passionate effort, our world is so well developed, so detailed, so refined that any of the handbooks, maps, historical accounts, legends, descriptions of artifacts, creature reports, character biographies, short stories, novels, movies and original art which populate these forums can surely serve as resources or inspiration for your own fantasy endeavors, whatever they may be. And our world is endlessly evolving, so resources are frequently added and updated.

There are also years of sage advice and commentary on role-playing, gaming and online community development stored in these forums. If camaraderie is what you seek, we offer that too. Our community is as active and supportive as you're likely to find on the internet. In short, these forums are a resource for you to use for whatever purpose or project brought you here.

We're confident that you will find what you are looking for, and likely, substantially more.

Please be our guest and browse around the forums which are available to you. As you do, keep in mind that you are sampling only a portion of what Layonara has to offer. Membership in our community is free, and allows you to establish a Layonara identity to pose your questions and share your thoughts on the forums. When you join you'll also be able to communicate privately to other members (PMs), establish and respond to polls, upload and download content and access many other special features. Registration is fast, simple and absolutely free. So please. join our community today!

Default Hit Points

Whatever you end up calling them, how will characters gain more hit points? If we have moved away from character levels, and just have skill levels, what decides your character's progression of hitpoints? Magic points? Whatever points?

There are character levels, just no "class" levels. Character health is tied to level and physical attributes.

As for the math behind them, we can't discuss that at this time.

Default Re: Hit Points

I have an idea I want to share.

Seeing as skills are going to be what a character is about, why not allow them to influence the durability of your character? I can see a skill just for boosting hit points, along with several other skills which will add some percentage. Armor-based and blocking skills ought to add some hit points. Outdoorsy skills could apply a bonus to hit points based upon what terrain you are in, but within unnatural areas (such as buildings, cities, or dungeons), the bonus is lost.

The (level * attributes) = HP deal has been done so many times before.

Attributes should affect some of the HP value... Like five to ten percent, maybe more.

It's easy to clock more time than you've used in total. Just let the game run while you're away.

They do! *points up*

Just I'm not going to talk about how much influence they have at this time.
