Who are the Coalitionists?

In a time not so long ago, three friends came together to establish a company dedicated to uplifting the weary and broken souls of the world. They named their venture the Intrepid Coalition. With a spirit of bravery, a hint of mischief, and a strong sense of purpose, they approached the bankers and financiers of Ul’dah for support. While many were hesitant to part with their funds, some recognized the potential for a generous tax write-off through charitable contributions. These benefactors, who preferred to remain anonymous, became the silent supporters ensuring that the Coalitionists had the resources they needed to assist those in distress.Although the original trio has set off on new adventures, the mission continues under the guidance of Syrenead Tomelodos, who has taken up the mantle of Keyholder. She is dedicated to finding individuals who wish to join the ranks of the Coalitionists, fostering trust and affection within the community, and building a sense of chosen family among their peers. Her commitment to the cause remains unwavering, as she tirelessly seeks out those in need and encourages others to lend a helping hand.So, to all adventurers out there, know that you are welcomed with open arms. The spirit of the Intrepid Coalition lives on, inviting you to be part of a journey that not only seeks to aid the less fortunate but also to create bonds that last a lifetime. Together, we can make a difference and ensure that no one feels alone in their struggles.Welcome home, adventurer!

Free Company Lore (WIP)

The following is our FC Lore, it is ever changing as things happen within the community. They don’t apply anywhere else outside of our FC and are strictly part of our Free Company Canon.

NPCs

Mitsumi Kha

Race: Xaela Au'Ra
Age: Mid-Twenties
Gender: Female
Personality: Traditional
Desk Job: The Mender

Mitsumi has been a part of the company since it first started. As one of the founding members, she plays a vital role. She either sends armor and clothing out for repairs or takes care of them herself. With her expertise in physical, non-magical healing, she often assists Primrose in the infirmary. Additionally, she is fluent in Hingan, which allows her to help translate for those who struggle with common. Mitsumi takes pleasure in looking after her fellow company members, reminding them when their gear needs fixing. She's also quite adept with daggers and has a slightly girlish side. In her free time, she enjoys reading slow-burn romance novels, writing letters, tending to old roses, and sipping green tea.

Jacoby Pedler

Race: Midlander Hyur
Age: 29
Gender: Male
Personality: Cheerful
Desk Job: Junkmonger

Jacoby joined the company shortly after Syrenead took the company over full time. He lives on the premises and is the one who signs for all the deliveries that come to the house for the Companions' Rest. He is known for taking unwanted items or items that have been left behind for various reasons or another and assume ownerless and peddles them off to people who will find a use while using the money from that to benefit the company. Jacoby enjoys making dyes when he can and selling them for a reasonable price depending on the shade and the hours put into it.

Hannalore Foster

Race: Midlander Hyur
Age: 26
Gender: Female
Personality: Polite
Desk Job: Material Supplier

Of the four desk clerks for the company, Hanna is the newest one. Though quiet and reserved, and often found with a book to her face, she is not one to let things slip by. Born to a family of gatherers and suppliers, Hanna has a keen eye for quality but inexpensive items that can be used to make something else. Her family raised her to know the meaning of hard work but still she enjoys the finer things in life, such as Ishgardian Noblewoman fashion.

B'kehs Tia

Race: Seeker Miqo'te
Age: 32
Gender: Male
Personality: Casual Friendly
Desk Job: Estate Manservant

Unlike most Miqo'te of his tribe, he did not have an affinity to build his own group. He is simply content in being a tia. With a chill personality and a smile that can light up a room, B'Kehs can spot quality craftsmanship and fine goods used to fill many rooms. He has a soft spot for some smokable herbs, and weapons. Especially katanas. He has trained heavily with the blade and while he doesn't show it, he would defend against any enemy who would attack within the walls of his home.

Sponge Silkies

Yes, they may appear somewhat eerie and are often overlooked, yet they are an integral part of the Intrepid Coalition. Through mysterious means, several have been drawn to reside within the Coalition Headquarters. They access areas that are difficult to reach and frequently revisit places that have already been tidied. They lack individual names and are collectively referred to as "The Silkies." While they are non-aggressive, they can exhibit playful behavior. If you possess a sponge silkie minion, you are welcome to consider it one of the residents of the grounds.

Every Coalitionist, whether they are roleplayers or passionate crafters, has a place here, and it’s important that everyone feels free to pursue their interests without pressure.Open and effective communication is crucial for our community's growth, and we encourage members to reach out to those in Keeper of Keys or Keyholder roles for assistance with any concerns, while also promoting the idea of addressing issues independently when possible.

Combat System for <IC>
(Work in Progress)

The Basics

First and foremost we are a ROLE playing group not a ROLL playing group. We allow you the option to roll first in this so that you can be as creative as you want/need to for your character's abilities. Your job role does not limit your ability to describe your characters talents.Active combat, event, and field activities use the basic /random 20 system, with some subjective changes based on your character, the event itself, and current environment standings.Rolling success is based on the GM’s discretion, and is subject to change at any time. As any roleplaying campaign does. If there are issues with suspected bias, favoritism, or discrimination, please reach out to leadership.Monsters and NPC’s all have AC scores dependent on the characters themselves. Player Characters AC scores are based on their class's role. (See “Defending” below)

Dice Rolling

When rolling dice in any chat your typing bar must be in that channel because you can't do two slash commands in one line of text.
EX:/p then press enter
/dice 20/fc then press enter
/dice 20This will lock it to that channel specifically and only those who can see that channel will see your roll.Otherwise /random 20 will do if you are in /say (which is default)Sometimes dice rolls will be poor, as DMs we do make up things on the fly to accomdate for crappy rolls. Sometimes we lower the DC or we have players rerolls. We have all been victimized by the /dice /random commands.

Combat

During combat, initiative will be based on a base /random 20 score. This will set the pace for turn order during combat in which players can attack, interact, or request certain actions during the active combat period. Speaking is, of course, a free action. But the passage of time during turns is limited. Talking does take up time, though not much.ROLL DICE FIRST THEN ENTER EMOTE BASED ON ROLLWhen it's a player's turn, they may use a movement action, standard action, and bonus action at the GM’s discretion. Other player abilities may affect this. There is no order requirement for these actions, and can be taken in any order the player prefers depending on the sequence.Actions include: Attacking, weapon skills, spellcasting, Skill checks, and other interactions based on the GM’s discretion.If a player wishes to attack, or execute an ability, the player must roll first, and emote accordingly to their roll based on success or failure (dms discretion).Playable characters have 5 HP.

Attack and Defense

When a player attacks using a physical attack, spell, or ability, they will need to make a /random 20 check to succeed. Based on the enemy, current conditions, and character abilities, this roll is modified. Upon a successful attack, the player does One damage to their target. If the player rolls a 20 on their roll. No modifier is applied from either end and it is automatically a critical success. In which, the player deals double the normal damage to the target. This can also affect the target in other ways if the situation calls for it. If a player is attacking an enemy with an element, and the enemy is vulnerable to said element, the attack deals double its normal damage. On the contrary. If the enemy is strong against the element. The player rolls the attack with a penalty.If a player, or NPC is being attacked, they are assigned a general AC (armor class) score. This score is dependent on the character or NPC’s role. Example: Alfric is a more armored individual, who will boast a higher AC score than Elise who is a healer, or ranged specialist. When there is an instance that the attacker meets the AC of a player or NPC. The attacker wins the roll.Generally, AC scores are based on the role your primary class provides in game:Healers/Ranged Magical DPS: 10
Ranged Physical DPS: 11
Melee DPS: 12
Tanks: 13For the sake of simplicity, Blue Mages are considered Ranged Magical DPS for their role in this system.All players characters have 5 HP

Advantage/Disadvantage

During roleplay, circumstances may occur that might affect a roll’s outcome. A positive effect is called Advantage, while a negative effect is called Disadvantage. Mechanically, both call for the player to roll twice. Advantage means you pick the higher of the two rolls, while Disadvantage means you pick the lower of the two rolls. These circumstances are determined by the GM based on context.

Event and Field Interactions

Most of the event content is focused on the situation, or current events going on. These include dialogue, stage setting, information gathering, and much more. The flexibility of these instances are what let your character shine as an individual. During these periods, characters are free to exchange conversations with each other, or NPC’s. Furthermore, the GM may message players to let them know they may sense or notice something others do not to push the narrative along. All roles are subject to character abilities, subjective circumstance, and current event happenings.General example: Alfric wants to look at footsteps to see where they lead. Alfric would make a /random 20 check. And may gain a bonus on the roll to ascertain where and when the footsteps, and the footprints were made, and where they are headed.

Sparring/PVP Rules

These rules are put in place for players who are consenting to sparring in a designated location. These rules are subject to change without warning to ensure that things are fair and balanced for all players. If you are found to continuously exploit a loophole and/or not follow the rules, you may be disqualified from future sparring nights. It is recommended that if you see an exploit or a loophole, that you bring it to the attention of leadership. Basic free company rules still apply.

The Basic Rules

All persons will follow these rules

No killing/maiming/serious injury - Minor injuries such as bruises, cuts and scrapes are expected and acceptable consequences of a duel. However, serious injuries that can permanently alter a character (loss of limbs, inflicting permanent disability, etc.) and death are not. In addition, the defender ultimately decides what effect the action had, not the attacker.Non-lethal attacks and abilities only - Ranged weapon users must use non-lethal ammo and cannot aim fatally. For magic, weapon skills, abilities and technology, it must be reduced in strength or rendered in such a way that it cannot kill or seriously harm the target. Training weapons will be provided as needed for participants. No lethal weapons will be allowed, and blows cannot be deliberately aimed at the head or the groin. You also may not intentionally inflict serious injury to your opponent, such as trying to break their leg. Alchemy/drugs are also prohibited.No animals/minions/pets - This is between you and your opponent only. There will be no outside interference from other living things. This also includes living weapons and armor.Everyone fights healthy - If you or your opponent are already seriously injured (more than just cuts/scrapes/bruises), the injured party is in no condition to fight and they cannot duel.Don't oversell or undersell damage - While the defender decides the effects of actions, remember to be realistic when emoting the effects of an attacker's actions on your character. A punch to the jaw won't cause your character to die or turn into a fountain of blood. Conversely, your character isn't so strong that punching their jaw will be like punching the jaw of Superman. Nobody likes drama queens or god-moders.

Attack, Defense, and Rolls

When a duel is initiated, all rolls are done in say chat (/s) using /random 20 with no modifiers. Each player will roll initiative to determine who attacks first. The attacker will emote their action with an open ended emote that the defending player can respond to, followed by a dice roll. The defender then rolls their dice to determine if they're able to successfully defend, and emotes appropriately based on the attacker's action.Once the defender emotes their reaction, the roles switch, meaning the defender is now the attacker and vice versa. Roles will continue to switch with each completed turn.Do not assume that you attack is going to hit. Using assumptive text and wording will allow you to get creative with your descriptions of the attack and the defense. You can be as silly or as serious as you want. Trash talking is encouraged. But remember this is all for fun.Example:Leiv winds his arm back before stepping forward with a sharp right hook aimed at Alfric's jaw.Leiv rolls a 17Alfric rolls a 12Leiv gets the point for this roundAlfric's head reels back with a grunt as the fist collides with his head, forcing him to stagger backwards. But only for a moment as Alfric pounces into action using his gunblade loaded with practice cartridges to take aim and fire a foam dart at Leiv.Alfric rolls a 19Leiv rolls a 2And so on.What about critical hits/fails?In efforts to keep this as simple as possible, we are not allowing critical strikes or fails. It is simply highest numbers wins. This is to ensure that the fight remains fair for anyone who wants to spar.

Healing

A mender will be present with the ability to heal your character back to full working order depending on the level of damage that your character has taken. Bumps, bruises and scraps or minor cuts will be handled easily, but broken bones do need a couple days to heal, even with magic.

Winning and Ties

Naturally, the goal is win the spar. So how do you do that?Best of five wins.You need a minimum of three points to win a spar. Every successful attack made by an attacker awards them one point. Once a character wins the duel and the duel is over, the winning action and roll deal the decisive blow, but the defender is still in control of the damage done from the blow.In the event that both the attacker and the defender tie, the attacker wins/succeeds by default
