A Little Iron Waltz

Guten Tag!

No. This is not a DM Challenge, but I shall get right to the point. I'm looking for a guinea pig to test some things with me and set a proper example. Essentially, my next DM Challenge, that is coming very soon, will involve some technical funsies. Before that, however, I like to have a sort of test run. Get some feedback from a member and so on. Hence this LFG.

Essentially, you're going to fight an NPC. Meet Spear Dude:

Yo! Nice to meetcha. Spear Dude? What? Oi, I carry the elegant name of—

Spear Dude came all the way from Tertoria looking for a tough opponent to fight! He also only tells worthy challengers his name! Are you the one?

So yeah, it's going to be a 1x1 battle scenario set in Brisshal with dice involved and stuff.

Leave a message if you're interested.
If you have any questions, tag me in Discord.

Important Info

Remember the technical part I talked about? Check out this and the posts below for an overview of the battle system we're going to use.

I will be the one that provides you with further information about the Augments, Skills, and Passives available to you.

You should feel comfortable with dice shenanigans.

This isn't a DM Challenge. There is no loot. Death isn't enabled. Dice rolls are a thing.

I'm looking for a single person with 2k invested MP and above. I also suggest them to be a front-liner rather than a squish-squish mage-esque.

-raises an eyebrow- You got my interest. 5,300 MP invested and sitting on 500 for Parry. (when I feel like placing it in that...)

Information
With the info I have given you, you can now make a tracker here! The tracker isn't that much different from what you're used to with the exception of the footer which includes your Customs and chosen Passives!

For anyone lurking in this: Please note that "Astral Magic" is one of the more complex masteries around.
