Regains

[dm_screen]

What's this page for?

This page is for players who wish to have their characters regain items and/or abilities from their home world and their original set of powers. All you need to do is use the code below to request your regain and provide the appropriate proofs depending on the level of regain you're looking to grab.


Remind me: What's a proof?

A proof is proof of activity. That's 5 log comments or 10 network comments. For example, if you're looking to get a level 2 regain, we ask for two proofs that are NOT used for AC. We allow threads from the month prior to your request (for example, making a request in December, you can use threads from November as well as December), combined with ones made in the previous month. But again, we ask that they not be threads you're using for AC. Threads used for bonus EXP are completely fine.


How do I know what level of regain I'd need for an item I want?

Our specifications go as follows:

LEVEL 1: Requires 1 proof- A mundane item of commonplace functionality or purely sentimental value which is otherwise unexceptional. (Example: A photograph, a royal pendant, a smartphone)

LEVEL 2: Requires 2 proofs- A non-magical item that performs a unique function or is usable in combat and equivalent to the items currently available to the characters in Bardsong. (Example: A favorite weapon from back home, an ordinary bicycle, a radio transmitter)

LEVEL 3: Requires 3 proofs- A magical item that provides a unique benefit and/or is useable in combat, and which is of exceptional quality or performance compared to the items currently available to the characters in Bardsong. Some nerfs may still be applicable. (Example: A lightsaber, a motorcycle, a computer able to run Cyberpunk 2077 at max settings)

LEVEL 4: Requires 4 proofs- A unique permanent ability unlock reflective of the character's abilities etc. before arrival, comparable to other permanent ability unlocks in Bardsong. (Example: A fireball spell, the ability to temporarily transform into a dragon, the ability to summon a spirit that punches your enemies for you while shouting a lot)

A maximum of TWO abilities can be regained by a character, so choose carefully! If you decide you want something else, you'll have to give up one of the abilities you've already regained. No refunds!

I have an ability I'd like to unlock, but I'm not sure how to go about it to make it fair for the game. What can I do?

We've provided a little tutorial to help you through. But it's just as they say: If you need further clarification, ask a DM!

In-universe, how does my character receive the regain?

One night, while gazing off at the starry sky above, the character might bear witness to a small shooting star. It's not unlike a lesser version of what they witness when a new Starfallen arrives, but there's something... different about it. They can't put their finger on it, but- somehow- they know in their heart and with absolute certainty that whatever is falling, it's meant for them.

They'll give chase across field and forest, inevitably arriving breathless just in time to witness the impact and seeing their regained, unharmed, beckoning them with a welcomed familiarity... or, in the case of something intangible such as most abilities, a small, glowing bauble that shatters when touched, and in doing so returns to them a portion of their former life.


The Code:

<b>Character Name:</b> Which character is getting a regain? <b>Regain Item/Ability:</b> What are they regaining? A small summary can go here too, to give us an idea of what you're going for. What does the item do, if anything, and/or what is the ability capable of? <b>Regain Proofs:</b> Only use as many as you need! If you need more or even less, the DMs will let you know. <a href="">Proof 1</a> <a href="">Proof 2</a> <a href="">Proof 3</a> <a href="">Proof 4</a>

Character Name: Knoll
Regain Item/Ability: Garm, one of the two Sacred Twins of Grado, Knoll's homeland, wielded by the original warriors who faced the Demon King and enshrined near the Sacred Stone in case its power was needed again. The mystical axe is a very good example of its kind, and increases the speed with which its wielder moves to a small degree, but its true power is only revealed when facing aberrant, fiendish, or undead monsters. In their presence it shines brightly, and deals slightly increased damage.

Regain Proofs:

Proof 1
Proof 2
Proof 3

Regain approved.

Knoll will gaze up at the night sky once day only to find a familiar glint streaking down from the heavens. When he reaches the impact site, he finds Garm before his eyes, embedded perfectly in an old stump.
