NOCTURNE HUD

The Nocturne GP HUD works differently from our previous hud. Here you can see the hud. Ignore the two bottom buttons. (Below sword and white square, you don't need to use them, and will only get confused)

SETTING UP YOUR CHARACTER

On your HUD click the title area that says GP HUD (The large area with the Axe, Shield and Dice spelling out GP HUD)

This will present you with a screen like this.

STEP TWO: Click the "NEW CHAR" Button. This will bring up the following box. Enter your character's name in the box and press submit.

STEP THREE: Repeat step one to bring up the setup menu again.

The next step is to click the combat button to set up your hud for play.

HEALTH LOSS should be set up to equal value to your max health.

Essence Pool should be set up to equal value to your max essence. (humans are zero)

Balance gain should be ZERO.

During play when you Lose or gain health use the HEALTH LOSS BUTTON to adjust your health.

During play when you spend or gain Blood, Gnosis, Quintessence, Dross, Faith use the ESSENCE POOL BUTTON and adjust the value there.

During play when you Gain , Hunger, Rage, Paradox, Banality, Torment , Angst , use the BALANCE GAIN BUTTON and adjust the value.

YOUR TITLER SHOULD END UP LOOKING SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

The first number is always the number that is adjusted through play, the second number represents your MAX or Permanent standing. This allows other players to make assumptions about your characters status.

For example health 1/10 would denote the character has lost 9 points of health, rather than assuming the character just had low health to begin with. They likely are physically displaying signs of injury or illness.

Balance is also extremely important for changelings to be able to measure. They always use the "Highest" balance value.

Essence is also very important to track, as people need to know when essence is spent, this is vitally important to vampires as spending essence (blood) adjusts their balance (hunger)

Using the titler example above we can see that Tabitha is in full health, at full essence and has not acquired any temporary imbalance though her regular permanent balance is pretty high.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------THE ROLLS----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EXAMPLE OF FEAT ROLLS

STEP ONE:

Determine what value needs to be rolled and what the difficulty of the feat is. An example here is of climbing found on the "Physical feats" page.

STEP TWO:

Open the combat menu (You click the sword, Alternatively you can click the dice icon on the hud)

STEP THREE:

Write a description of the action you are performing, You must put the attributes you are using into this box and their values. CLICK SUBMIT

STEP FOUR: Input the combined value of the attributes or skills you are using when it prompts you for modifier. CLICK SUBMIT

STEP FIVE: Input the difficulty of the action. CLICK SUBMIT

Once this is done local chat will tell you the result of your roll.

BOTCH EXAMPLE: The text says Botch. This is the only piece of information we require. Sometimes the result will say action was a success along with a botch notice. IGNORE THE SUCCESSES. A botch is always a failure! A catastrophic one!

BOTCH HAPPENS ON A NATURAL ROLL OF 1 (ignore any 2's)

FAILURE EXAMPLE:

SUCCESS EXAMPLE: Not only does our Hud tell you if you have achieved success, but the number of successes achieved.

A Versus roll is almost exactly the same except you first select a player when prompted, then enter your attack action (with attributes/ability bonuses included) hit submit , then you enter the single value of these combined abilities, hit submit, the other player is then prompted to roll their defense against your attack.

EMOTING WITH HUD

/2 is the channel command to make your character speak

USE WHISPER COMMAND WHEN APPROPRIATE AND USING THE PRIVATE SCENE TAG.

(This will display your avatar name not character name .Only Avatars within 10 meters will see your text, recommended for erotic scenes in private. )

/whisper

Example /whisper Tabitha said "blah blah blah"
Becomes [08:42:53] Jo Barbosa (jo.trimble) whispers: Tabitha said "blah blah blah"
We do recommend putting your character name as the first word following whisper, so as to maintain the 3rd person experience.

USE SHOUT COMMAND WHEN USING UNSILENCED (loud) FIREARMS OUTSIDE

(This will display your avatar name not character name. Avatars within 90 meters will see your text.)

/shout

Example /shout Tabitha fired her pistol , bang bang bang
Becomes [08:42:53] Jo Barbosa (jo.trimble) shouts!: Tabitha fired her pistol , bang bang bang
We do recommend putting your character name as the first word following whisper, so as to maintain the 3rd person experience.
