Quest for the Eighth Sea, Introduction

[ltcmdrwhitman]

This is a BESM roleplaying settings that I drew up a while ago while I was still at my last job. I did run some one-shots in it, which should be familiar to those among my readers who recognize an NPC known as "Big Fat Ugly Hu" or have experienced the wonders of "Grandmaster Gau's Ever-so-Slightly-Inaccurate Fireball

[ltcmdrwhitman]

That's the idea!

[miraielle]

Sweeeeet. I am so there.

[ysadrel]

I am possibly overly fond of this setting.

You just like the Ever-so-Slightly-Inaccurate Fireball. Now with scatterdice!

I'm going to post everything I have on this setting, just so someone can maybe use it once I go off to med school. Gotta hope, right? Maybe I should put it on rpg.net

Well, yes, you have a point. On the other hand, wuxia pirates are awesome.

Hell, I might borrow it at some point and hack it into WotG. I figured out how to do blast sorcery in that system recently.

Grandmaster Gao's Ever-So-Slightly Inaccurate Fireball

5 Destiny (5 + 4 flaws = 9 total points)

Despite its eccentricities, Grandmaster Gao's Ever-So-Slightly Inaccurate Fireball is a potent offensive technique: it calls forth the raw offensive power of fire and hurls it at your opponent. Officially, the unpredictable nature of the fire element is blamed for the spell's inaccuracy, for who would dare offend such a revered master by implying that one of his most famous spells is flawed?--This is a Daoist Technique. It is a Complex Action, cannot be combined with an attack in a Full Action, and requires at least one Daoist Method (external breath, pacing the constellations, talismans, finger gestures or invocations). It has no Chi cost and may not Color Match in development
