Setting up your own profile - WindStrike - 09-22-2011

Before you can play ZURPG, you'll need to set up your character profile. If you want, you can ask WindStrike via IRC to set up your character for you.

Or you can use this guide to do it manually yourself.



For starters, make a new thread in the Profiles Forum. Set the name of the thread to your character name. Then import this into the post:

[stats name=Namicus Maximus power=0 (+0) courage=0 (+0) wisdom=0 (+0) hearts=1/1 (+0) magic=0/0 (+0) initiative=1d10 attack-dice=0 defense-dice=2 armor=2 stat-points=74/1 heart-containers=0 rupees=0]None[/stats]

If you need to edit things in your profile, use Quick Edit. Something about Full Edit will throw all the 'list' codes on their own line, plus if you have certain bb code incorrect, it will actually attempt to add bb code in random places in an attempt to compensate. So just use Quick Edit when editing your profile.
When that's done, edit your profile and change "Namicus Maximus" with the name that you want your character to be called. It does not have to be your forum user name.

You have 74 Stat Points that you can use to add to any of your five primary stats, add Affinities and use Non-Innate Passive Skills. 1 Stat Point will increase any of Power, Courage, or Wisdom by 1; alternatively, it'll increase either Hearts or Magic by 1. Additionally, you can spend 4 Stat Points to add an Affinity. Do not add spaces in the stats tag. Keep the format as is and simply change the numbers. The number of digits can go infinite.
  • Attack & Defense Stats:
    • Power: Used primarily for strength and heavy weapons.
    • Courage: Used primarily for dexterity and swords.
    • Wisdom: Used primarily for perception and spells.
  • Hearts & Magic:
    • Hearts: This is your health. If you run out, you die.
    • Magic: Used to cast spells. Nothing happens if you run out, except for not being able to cast spells.
  • If you don't know how you want to spec your character, just use this (you'll need to fix the name yourself):
    • Namicus Maximus
      • Power: 18 (+0)
      • Courage: 18 (+0)
      • Wisdom: 18 (+0)
      • Hearts: 15/15 (+0)
      • Magic: 6/6 (+0)
      • Initiative: $init 1d10
      • Attack Dice: 0
      • Defense Dice: 2
      • Armor: 2
      • Stat Points: 0
      • Stat Points (Used): 75
      • Heart Containers: 0
      • Rupees: 0
       
      Affinities: None

Be sure to keep track of your used stat points.
  • In the code, it will say sp=#/#.
    • The first # is your Stat Points.
    • The second # is your Used Stat Points.
Just like how enemies have descriptions and passive bonuses stemming from what they are, players can also have descriptions. Essentially, you can write a physical portrayal of your character in your description. If you wish to also include a backstory, you're welcome to, and if you do, your backstory might crop up a story element or two in-game.

You will also need to note in here which race you are, because by doing so, you get access to that race's Innate Skills. However, the following RESTRICTIONS are in place:
  • If you are Gerudo, your character must be female.



Once all of these are done (or being waited on), your profile is set up to play for ZURPG. Join the channel #zurpgchat at irc.lunarnet.org so you can ask WindStrike to run you through the Basics Tutorial. Afterwards, you can use the official Rules and Knowledge Thread for reference.
