That was then. This is now.

There's a sensation of being squished and pushed. A helplessness and still a sense of purpose and then suddenly a bright light at the end of a tunnel!

No, it doesn't seems to be heaven, or hell, nor do you see your family and friends waiting for you.

You can't see much of anything, really. There's this fog around your eyes and ... you can feel yourself being lifted gently by enormous, gentle hands. And there's voices around. Three or maybe four...?

"XX XXXX XX?"
"XX XXX XXXX XX X XX"
"X XXX XXXXX XX X XXX X!!"

And then there's this sensation of warmth and love, and you feel a heartbeat right next to you, and something soft and warm is pressed against your lips.

As if it was the most natural thing, you open your mouth so suck on it.

Warm. Tasty. It is a flavour you knew. It is a flavor you know.

And then you fall asleep.

***

"Why isin't he crying?"
"Why should he? he's a boy, right?"
"Babies always cry."
"Not my son, he doesn't"

***

What happened? did you survive the accident? where are you? is this a hospital?

You can't move. Are you paralyzed?!
Oh God you are paralyzed, aren't you!?

No, wait... there we go... you can't see quite right but... yeah that's your arm. You are moving your arm. Your eyes are having trouble looking around... everything looks blurry and sort of liquid.

Well this seems interesting.

>>34621845
It takes you a few days to fully understand what happened. Or rather, to accept it.

You are a baby now. You can sometimes feel strong hands picking you up, and sometimes its soft hands. The soft hands usually mean food.

Yes, you are sucking on your mother's breast. It feels warm and completely natural.

A few weeks pass by. Your eyes are firmer now. Your field of view is much clearer.

Your dad looks the rugged type. Tall, wide shoulders, clean shave. He's actually pretty good looking. Hopefully you inherited his looks. He has dark black hair, kept short.

Your mom is really a beauty. She has bright, clear gold hair and bright blue eyes. Good work, dad!

Their clothings look very old fashioned, like what you'd see in a western movie. The house has walls of wood and stone.

Are you poor? but there's a maid. A pretty girl that barely reaches up to your dad's chest. She's wearing a long maid uniform, with a fluffy white hat tat covers her ears. She has a very girlish figure.

Your family can't be poor if they have a maid, right?

Looking at the petite maid, you chocked on your mom's milk when she takes off her hat for a moment.

Pointy!

She has pointy ears, and not just "sort of pointy". No! these are properly pointy ears, like those of an elf in the RPGs you loved!

Could it be!?

>>34621999

A few months later. You are sure.

This is a fantasy world, an RPG-like world! definitively. And furthermore, you somehow have the memories of your previous life. If there was such a thing as critical success for reincarnations, you sure hit it! As expected of your lucky dice, indeed!

Not only are you reborn with the memories of your past life, you were reborn into a fantasy world, just the way all those games, manga and /tg/ threads liked to talk about!

Wait... if there's elves, there must be magic, right? Oh God you wish you could cross your fingers as you hope for it, but they're much too clumsy for that right now.

Mom: "XX XXXX XX XX X"
Dad: "XX XXX X X XX XX XX"

***
Mom: "Hey, look, he's smiling!"
Dad: "He sure looks happy, hehehe"
***

Well, for now, first things first. You really need to learn the language.

Just as you are thinking that, the petite elf maid leaves the room. Your dad makes sure she's gone and closes the door, then moves over and kisses your mom.

Oh, they sure are a young couple, uh?

Wait, dad, why are you taking me away, what is this I don't even...!

Oh, he placed you on your crib.. and then went over to your mom and...

They sure are a young couple, uh?

Well, you do your best to ignore them and they "ah ah!" lovey dovey sounds.

***
A few months have passed, and now you understand their words. It surely helps to learn new languages, being immersed in them.

Really, it helps a lot. All those people that went out of the country as exchange students, they sure knew what they were doing.

Your dad's name is Cedric, and your mom is Linda.

The maid's name is Elli. Tho you are sure that must be a short version of her name.

As you stare out of your crib, a mosquito zooms into the room. Ugh, couldn't you have been reborn in world without mosquitos? well, can't really ask for more, really.

Just as you are thinking that, the pest has to come and bite you.

Ugh! you swat it away, but it just doesn't wants to go away.

>>34622182

>>34622192

Goddamn fucking cunt of a bug! you hate this little winged fucker!

Suddenly, mom and dad wake up when out of their baby's crib a (tiny) blast of fire comes up and leaves a black mark on the roof.

You just used magic. Yes, you.

You are fainting out of sheer exhaustion, but you had never been this happy in this or your previous life.

Fuck yeah

Who's a mage? you're the mage!

Taste my fireballs, you fucking pest!

"What in...?" -your dad gets to see the small fireball as it hits the roof
"What is it, love?" -your mom is waking up because your dad jumped up
"There was fire! right over Eldric's crib, look!" -he points up to the scorch mark on the ceiling.
"Uh...? fire?"

Your parents lift your sleeping form and look at you thoroughly, making sure you are unhurt.

The collowing morning, you are pumped up as fuck. You used magic, you are sure of it!

>>34622292
Fuck yeah!
Who's the best wizard!

>>34622292

"Do you think he got your gift?" -your dad asks over breakfast
"He could have, but he's just much too young to use any sort of magic. It takes a mature mind to channel, you know?"
"Eh, that's my son."
"Love, really! you can't just say "Eh, that's my son". It could be dangerous if a baby really COULD use magic, you know?"
"It was a tiny fireball. Daddy can take little Eldric's blast, can't he? can't he?" -he caresses your tummy

Your mom sighs, and looks at you with worry.

As it turns out, talking is a lot harder than you'd think. It seems your throat can't make any proper words yet.
But you used magic, so that's fine.
You can't crawl, so you depend on your parent's or Elli carrying you around.
But you used magic, so that's fine.

Then you notice... there's something blinking on the upper left corner of your field of view. No matter how you try to follow it with your eyes, it stays on the upper left corner of your field of view.

You wonder about it, and when you try to swat it off, your little fingers pass over it and...

***

"That's my son!" -your dad seems extremely proud of you
"Dear, really, maybe we should..." -your mom is worried

It isin't quite an argument, but your parents talk about you a lot. It usually ends in sex, tho, and your mom relents. Good job, Cedric!

So, under your dad's proud gaze, you are encouraged to use as much magic as you can.

Your dad isin't always in the house, tho.

Well, it seems obvious, your dad probably works at something, so he can't be home all day.

Your mom lives worried about you, tho. She sits out on the fresh grass with you and sings and cuddles with you. She frowns a little whenever you use magic, but as days become weeks and weeks become months without you setting anyone on fire, she seems much calmer about things.

The first time you used a fireball to kill a mosquito, you fainted. But the second time you were able to use two fireballs. Then after that, four, then eight...

12, 20, 30....

It looks like, the more you practice it, the easier it becomes. Your level hasn't changed, tho.

(The maid) Elli is clearly afraid of you, however.

Finally, you manage to make proper sounds...

[] Talk with your parents and explain the truth about yourself to them

If not them then at least the maid

>>34622921
>>34622946
>>34622951
>>34622990
Wow, good for you guys. I thought questfags would never accept they were retarded, but you have impressed me.

>>34622990
I think that a sufficiently high-level wizard or cleric would be able to figure out the truth. If that happens (likely, since our parents are retired adventurers), I think we should go with we were always their son but were gifted with the memories of another life, or that the son and us agreed to merge and we're both their son and some guy from another world.

It feels like it would break our mother's (and father's) heart to learn that her son never even had a chance.

>>34622885
>>34622899
>>34622903
>>34622921

Alright, seems like everyone at least agrees to not tell them the full truth.
***

As it turns out, your dad and mom are former adventurers, who retired when you appeared into the picture.
You'd like to know their levels, but can't find a way to do so.

Hearing them, however, it seems clear that Cedric, your dad, was a holy knight in the service of a knightly order, and your mother was a sorceress.

After retiring, they moved to the countryside, and your dad is acting as the local constable/town guard/sheriff, in charge of keeping the wandering murder hobos in check, as well as defending the townsfolk against monsters and bandits.

Your dad seems to be good at his job.

Time goes on, and you keep growing. You no longer get tired of using fireball anymore.

As you approach your 3rd year, you are already running all over the house.

There's hardly any books in the house, but then again, if this really is a RPGish world, that doesnt surprise you.

Elli cries out the first time she sees you sitting in front of the chimmey with an open book on your lap, but after a while, she calms down when you studiously flip and stare at the pages.

It is the winter of your third year.

Your mom and dad are cuddling together on the couch while you run around in the room.

Your dad has a holy book from the Faith of Steel, and your mom has a journal where she keeps her notes from back when she was at the magical university of Eopolis.

[] Focus on the magical theories of the university.
[] Focus on the teachings of the gods.
[] Balance your time between them

Er, Im >>34623197 I meant
>>[] Focus on the magical theories of the university.

>>34623149
[x] Balance your time between them

Ask Elli why she's so afraid of us.

Alright, it looks like balanced and Elli are the most popular choices.
***
Elli was quite afraid of you at first, but as you grew up, she warmed up to you. Spending the day with the petite elf girl, she tells you about how the village took her in after your father rescued her from bandits that devastated he r small nomad tribe.

She seems to be quite love-struck with your dad, but it looks perfectly innocent. Truly, Elli is the definition of a innocent maiden.

Sometimes, she bathes with you when your mom goes out with your dad to help him and she has to take care of you instead.

She has a very attractive figure, but doesnt seems to feel anything from your looks.

She teaches you about plants and animals on those days, and before you know it, your status has changed.

>>34623547
Was waiting for someone to ask
***

As you thinker with your stat screen, you wonder just what the hell all those classes do.

Focusing on Scion, you see a new "window" open with the following info

Scion: Choosen by the Gods, you can have more than 2 classes
Exp Gain increased by 50%
Small boost to all attributes
Scion does not count for purposes of Exp distribution

Wizard: You can use elemental (offensive) magic.
Small boost to intelligence
Small boost to MP

Noble: The realm has a long tradition of heroes who are then elevated to the status of Nobles. Since you come from such a bloodline, this class replaces Warrior for you.
Small boost to Strength
Small boost to HP
Small boost to Charisma

Passive: Can use all types of armor and shields

Ranger: Wise in the ways of nature, the rangers are just as much at home in the wilderness as they are in civilized lands.

Small boost to Strength
Small boost to Dexterity

Active: Stealth
Passive: Can use all Ranged weapons

Knight: Heavily armored front line fighters, there's nothing as awe-inspiring as a knight in shining armor, ramming against a dragon atop a mighty steed, spear at the ready.

Large boost to Strength
Small boost to charisma

Active: Summon Steed
Passive: Half damage from area attacks

>>34623509
Let's go for App, Divine, and Ranged weapons.

Idea: Pump in a load of raw magic into an arrow (which has to be easier than casting a spell)

When the arrow's about to explode from energy, shoot it, put on sunglasses so you aren't blinded by the ensuing explosion.

THAT is why you multi-class.

>>34623738
Disable Knight I guess.

>>34623567
>Is there an option to enable it when we want?

Yes you can turn them on/off freely. Talking to Elli, it seems normally you need to have a priest do it for you at a temple, tho.

Don't disable knight yet. We need to see what our steed is.

>>34623775
What does App do? The others are obvious, but the new stat is typically fun.

>>34623738
Disable knight, leave others on.
>Scion

>>34623793

>>34623799
Appearance
I always felt that appearance and charisma were different things.

You can be an attractive asshole or an ugly leader, after all.

I say disable nothing

Put our points into Int, EM and DM

>>34623828
Eh. Let's ignore App, then. Dump into Elemental, Divine, and Ranged.

Would >>34623762 be a viable plan of attack?

>>34623828
Like Shinji Matou and Churchill respectively

>>34623655
>>34623509
Change App to Int

>>34623762
That seems dumb, elementalism is offensive magic. Not divine.

>>34623858
Please. Churchill was sexy.

>>34623509
Elemental Magic
App
Int

>>34623847
Lets not discount some early App points. It might be a stat that can't be changed later on.

>>34623738
Disable nothing for now.
Distribute points to:
Int, Divine Magic, Charisma.

>>34623912
The same might go for elemental and divine magic.

>>34623847
I'd say it wouldnt explode, but it would definitively add a lot of damage to the attack

Alright, points wise, it seems you guys want to raise int and both types of magic, right?

That unlocks
Healer level 1
Small boost to Wisdom
Small boost to Charisma

Active: Use Divine Magic

>>34623940
Healer. Fun.

What does having alot of classes do negatively?

>>34623940
And gaining a new level (in healer) gives you a bonus point. so far you have

Str 3
Dex 3
Con 8
Wis 10
Int 11
App 10
Cha 10

1h Weapons 1
2h Weapons 0
Ranged Weapons 1
Elemental Magic 1+2
Divine Magic 1+1

And 1 bonus point from healer

>>34624013
One more to Divine Magic I guess
>Int 11
I think you missed that, m8

>>34623993
Your exp is split evenly between all of them when you gain exp.
Scion does give you +50% exp, tho, and it doesnt eat exp itself

>>34624013
This looks like a pretty neat quest

I will put my vote in for Int

>>34624034
Ahhh. So if we want certain classes, like wizard, to go up faster, we need to drop other things...

Let's drop Knight, at least. I like Wizard, Healer, and Ranger, and Scion has no negatives to it.

>>34624013
Int

>>34624013
Put the point into Wis.
We need the Wis and Int to be able to tell ourselves that a plan is fucking stupid.

>>34624013
Let's do another in ranged, since I like the idea of buffing attacks while still keeping distance.

>>34624013
Could put a point in 2h weapons so we get another class and another bonus point

>>34624037
Alright lets see... then int is 13 (or to e more accurate, 11+2)

***

When you reach 5 years old, your dad starts taking you along with him. He sits you on his shoulders as he walks around town showing his genius child.

The town looks like your typical fantasy-ish village. Just a few houses, a smithy, an inn, a general supplies store, and plenty of farms around it.

There is also a large stone tower that turns out to be the watchpost/fortress of the town. This is where your dad spends his time when he is not patrolling or fighting off monsters.

As your dad places you on the floor, you take a look around. There are all sorts of weapons hanging on the walls (a bit too high for you to reach), and your dad is okay with letting you play around the tower.

[] Try to grab a weapon
[] Go out to play around the tower

I say we disable Ranger so we can go for the unstoppable armored wizard build. Just look at Golbez, what a sexy motherfucker.

>>34624244
But how would we inevitably retreat without stealth when we're surrounded and fucked

>>34624244
Are you missing the elementally-buffed arrows build? Ninja + Sniper + Magic.

>>34624256
Divine Protection + Heavy Armor is rarely fucked. Teleport spells may be available as well. We don't know about enchanted equipment as well.

>>34624280
I'd think it's more IC to want to be the big hero on the front line. Magic Archer is a bit meta.

>>34624152

3 for weapon. And 2 are for ranged weapons

"Eldric, what are you...?" -Cedric notices you oulling a chair towards the wall- "Oh, want me to teach you how to use that?"
"Ah, yes please"

Your dad picks a small, 1-handed repeating xbow. It has catridges with bolts, and you handle it with a small lever.

He goes out with you and sets some practice targets next to the tower's base.

"Alright son, you handle this like this..." -Cedric teaches you about your small weapon.

Perhaps it's because he's a first time parent and you act so mature all the time, but your dad talks to you normally, rather than how one would talk to a child.

"If you can be responsible with your fireballs, I'm sure you can be responsible with this." -he says with confidence. "But just in case, you DO know you are absolutely NOT allowed to shoot anyone, right?"
"Yes dad"
"Alright. You have these catridges and have fun, but don't let other kids play with it, and don't wander off too far, alright?"
"Yes dad"

Your father goes back inside the tower.

Then it's a good thing armour is tied to Noble and not Knight

>>34624321
[x] Practice with your xrossbow diligently
Use two cartridges for regular practice.
Use the last one for experimenting with imbuing bolts with magic.

>>34624341
Smart man.

>>34624385
Eh, I'm just saying it because I just finished a runthrough of Dragon Age Origins (with awakening). A supermage with ethereal massive armor is something I've already done.

>>34624401
But tanking is a Knight skill.

>>34624422
Yes, and?

>>34624428
Why have giant armor if you can't take the hits?
>>34624412
Funny enough, i just retired an Oblivion character who exclusively used summoned bows.

>>34624412
I was just thinking about the mage knights in that game. They're what's pushing me to think the ranged mage bowman idea might be more fun.

>>34624350
Looks like 1 for mount
>>34624351
>>34624355
2 for archery
>>34624360
1 made me smirk
>>34624363
>>34624367
>>34624369
5 for archery

>>34624401
Remember normal people only have 2 classes. Normally Knights are Nobles as well
Rangers are also villagers
Knight 20/Healer 20 is necessary for Paladin
Wizards can come from wherever
etc

***

A small group of local children gather to watch you play with your xbow. When you start using magical arrows, they cheer.

They look exactly how you'd expect a bunch of villager kids to look. Their small faces are covered in dirt, and their clothes are mostly wool and even straw. They stare at you with interest but do not approach you.

[] Talk to them
[] Keep practicing and let them approach if they want
[] Other

>>34624422
Bro. If we're going Fuckhuge spellsword, what we need is to go the Arcane Warrior route. Buff our raw strength with magic, either divine or Elemental.

>>34624461
Ha! Well, I guess I don't blame you. But yeah, we'll either be half-spirit-plane warrior, or ninja archer with magically powere arrows.

>>34624472
See, that's what I'm all for.

>>34624479
[x] Keep practicing and let them approach if they want

>>34624479
Lets summon the mount and show off

>>34624479
>[] Keep practicing and let them approach if they want

>>34624479
>Keep practicing, don't let them touch anything.

>>34624485
Nah man, I'm thinking about protecting the glass cannon that is a mage, with layers of armor. Not putting magic protection on a warrior. That's just a paladin.

>>34624536
Bloody peasants! Well, as long as they dont start talking about democracy and properly elected governments... we wont have to repress them

***

Eventually, one of the kids asks you if you could let him shoot the xbow. They do not take your rejection well, and soon it looks like they may start throwing rocks at you.

[] Scare them off with a fireball
[] Go back inside the tower and wait until they go away. Maybe help your dad with whatever
[] Let the bigger one try it out
[] Other

I really feel like we should go and summon our mount, some poor anons have been asking for it for a while now

>>34624609
>Summon the mount, kick dust in their peasant faces as you ride off.

>>34624609
>[] Go back inside the tower and wait until they go away. Maybe help your dad with whatever

I think we should try and keep our multi-classing abilities quiet.
Never know when some fanatic would try and advantage of someone chosen by gods

>>34624609
>[] Go back inside the tower and wait until they go away. Maybe help your dad with whatever
We could get in trouble and I bet $5 mom would kick our ass.

>>34624609
>Explain that we'll get in trouble if the crossbow gets damaged. Ask dad for help

>>34624609
[] Go back inside the tower and wait until they go away. Maybe help your dad with whatever

>>34624609
Just say your dad said not to let anyone else hold the crossbow.

/tg/ seems to be surprisingly responsible.

You apologize and go back inside after collecting the bolts.

Your dad is writing some documents, and when you go in, he picks you up and sits you on his lap.
As it turns out, he's trading letters with his family in the capital. He's very respectful, and you eventually realize he's writing to his father.

It seems your grandfather wants him to go back home and resume his work in the order. He was alright with him taking a leave of absence while your mom was pregnant and you were a toddler, but now that you are five, he wants his son back.

Your dad replies that he is perfectly happy where he is, and that it is better for you to grow up with as wide a space to run and play in as possible, insteaf of the groomed hallways of the family keep.

He also writes about your magical prowess with quite the bit of pride, as well as about your maturity and intelligence.

Once he is done with the letter, he takes you off to patrol with him.

For the first time, you see a party screen. Your dad's portrait, his hp bar, mp bar, class and levels appear when you look into it.

Cedric Lightbringer
29 years old Human Male
Level 34 Paladin, Level 54 Noble

He sits you on his shoulders, and walks off after locking the tower.

You examine your dad's stats.

>>34624882

>>34624882
No, or maybe just a little in App or Dex

>>34625037
No, we really shouldn't not least because we're the only one that can do it, and we don't know enough about the mythology of the setting to guess at how such knowledge would be taken.

>>34625037
Don't do that. Being a magic baby is weird enough for our parents.

>>34625065
>>34625109
Its our chill as fuck Dad, he wont smite us.

I hope.

>>34625132
If your 5 year old son came up and said "I can see your stats, why haven't you boosted your int and app you dumb fuck" You'd be terrified

>>34624907

>>34624937
yes 2
>>34624953

>>34625037

Looks like we are going with yes, and let's go with asking him his style I think.
***

"Dad, how do you fight?"
"Uhm? As carefully as possible, nowadays. I have to take care of your mom and you, you know?"
"And Elli"
"Right, and Elli"
"You don't use a shield, right?"
"That's right. I'd rather not get hit than getting hit and taking it."
"And you aren't using armor."
"Ah...well... it's spiky at the shoulders so I wouldn't be able to carry you like this if I did."
"Oh"

Your dad is carrying a claymore on his back and a long dagger on his belt.

You carefully play with 1 (one) point. It looks like you can remove it, and need to confirm your changes before they are made permanent. In this manner, you learn that:

Attributes do not seem to have an upper limit
Abilities can only go up to 100, taking both base and bonus points into consideration. For example, your dad has
1h weapons 54
And you can set it as high as
1h weapons 54+46

>>34625132
Unless we are an evil abnormal abomination that took the place of what would have been his son's soul.

>>34625195
+3 to all stats except elemental magic
Not enough to rock his world, but enough to improve it.

>>34625242
>>34625195
and can we do this slowly over a few months?

>>34625265
I suposse, if your dad takes you out on patrol with him regularly

>>34625195
>>34625242
>>34625265
Yeah, let's do this.

We should also try and spend some time with mommy

>>34625277
Let's do this, then
>>34625242
>>34625265

>>34625242
>>34625265
>>34625277
I like that plan.

>Improve Dad slowly

>>34625277
Sounds like a good idea. We can show off the magic crossbow thing, and subtly start improving his 1h/divine magic

>>34625236
Oh right, we should find out if reincarnation is a concept they understand in this world before we reveal anything.

Also having the ability to see someones stats doesnt necessarily imply were an evil abnormal abomination that stole his sons body, we could just play it off as a natural magical ability right?

>>34625331
Scion: Chosen by the gods
They probably brought us here for a reason.

Lightbringer
We are either Prometheus or Lucifer. So which way do we go /tg/ hero or big bad?

>>34625195
Still against making any changes.
We already learned that people are aware of classes, and that classes can get turned on and off by priests.
What makes people think Dad won't see the usage of points in his own Info Screen?

>>34625294
Alright, so bumping dad's stats a little bit...

***
Your dad introduces you to the villagers and farmers, and then stops by a small shrine next to a clear-looking, quick river. There's a shrine on the side of it, next to the small stone bridge that crosses it.

He places a few coins in the shrine and thanks the spirits for taking care of the village, then continues his patrol.

It was a nice, quiet day.

As you arrive home with him...

"Eldric, do you want your dad to teach you to use swords?" -since you seemed so interested, your dad wonders if you are curious about the path of the warrior. You do spend some time looking through his Holy Book, after all

[] Yes
[] No
[] Other

Just so you know, you dont have many choices left during your childhood. Adventure will start soon.

>>34625420
/tg/ is generally as heroic as possible in any given setting.

And some of my favorite stories have Lucifer as the good guy.

So maybe both.

>>34625420
But Lucifer is a Hero

>>34625500
>[] Yes
Sure, why not.

>>34625500
No

>>34625500
[] Yes

>>34625500
[x] Yes
More XP, more skill boosts.

>>34625500
>[] No
Practice magic instead

>>34625500
>>Yes

Also Dads gonna die to the BBEG soon. Or mum will and Dad will go rejoin the order.

>>34625500
other
as long as we can split it with training from mom.

We should probably turn off ranger. Focus on magic and warrior. We'll be a gish but still lets us be useful in a wide range of situations.

>>34625500
We should get some knowledge of swords in. We don't know whats gonna happen and maybe swords will end up being vital as a backup weapon.

>>34625526
>[X] Yes

A good childhood is well rounded. Let's make sure we have a good baseline with a little bit of everything in it before we decide what to specialize in

>>34625500

Your dad carves a couple of wooden swords, and starts teaching you regularly on the evenings.

Your mom tries to get in some magic lessons, but as your dad seems to grow more and more impressive as time goes on, she stops trying to go against him and he pretty much has an iron grip on the reins of the house.

You start spending more and more time with your dad. He actively takes you with him on his patrols, and you even help him deal with monsters a couple of times, helping with your ranged attacks while he keeps the enemy engaged in melee.

Another two years go on this way.

That only becomes available if she becomes a member of our Party; in other words, takes us on a quest/patrol/something where we would go as a group.
Better use that head of yours to figure out a way to do that. Hanging around with her isn't going to do it.

>>34626058
Screw up a patrol with dad and kite the beast back to the house. Now mom is involved.

>>34626058
ask her to come with on a patrol with dad. bada boom bada bing.

You are curious about your mom, but thankfully she does tag along with your dad from time to time.
As soon as you can, you take a look at her stat screen

>>34626218
Increase mom's int/wis and elemental/divine, with smatterings to Dex and Con occasionally.
Few at a time, like dad.

I wonder if making both our parents more powerful will lead to marital strife.

>>34626218
improve mom over time minus her 2h weapons

Description of Villager, Spellsinger, and Alchemist plz

>>34626218
Alchemist: An advanced knowledge of superior magic allows one to tap into the secrets of alchemy.

Large boost to MP

Passive: Double MP consumption. Double spell effect

>>34626311
Wouldn't be surprised

I don't suppose you'd be willing to say if there's an Arcane Warrior option to channel our magic inwards to boost our physical stats

kinda want to dump it all in her appearance, shes already a babe, who knows what it would do to her

>>34626311
Why? The person they married is growing more beautiful/handsome/intelligent/stronger/graceful everyday. It's a good thing.

>>34626322
Shiiit, guys we've rushing for Spellsinger now m'kay?

>>34626359
Making dad more powerful led to him having an iron grip on the household and the marginalizing of our mom.
What do you think will happen when they both are stronger and more intelligent and then have to vie for what they think is right for their son?

>>34626322
DUMP ALL INTO SPELLSLINGER
over time, of course

>>34626380
We also need to pick up Alchemist along the way for the MP boost.
Spellslinger doubles MP costs.

>>34626277
>villager
The honest folks that live everywhere in the realm

Large HP bonus

Passive: Can use 1handed weapons, Can use ranged weapons

No thanks.

>>34626402
Oh... now i'm sad. >>34625242 >>34625265 were both me.

>mfw i have no face for tearing apart the home

I just want mommy to be happy too, dad shouldn't be able to walk all over her. how has she been doing emotionaly these past two years of daddy dominance?

>>34626501
You got what you asked for, not what you thought you were asking for.
We recognized that just because we have a lifetime's worth of experience doesn't make us a genius, and then you go and think that you know what's best for everyone else around you.

And the only thing we can do now is give mom the same powerboost we gave to dad, and hope that it doesn't tear this family apart.

>>34626218
Dump 20 into cha so it'll mend our family problems, but it won't ruin everything.
And then dump everything into Thaumaturge, Villager and Elemental/Divine magic - 2 classes at a time, keeping HP up so she won't die and shit.

Over time, you raise your parent's stats and abilities so they are more even.

One year later, your little sister is born.
They call her Athena
Her cries keep everyone awake at night, but Elli seems much more relaxed.

"Yes, this is how babies are supossed to be. It was way too easy with master Eldric" -Elli says when your mom asks her if Athena is really alright

Finally, news arrive. A knight from the Silver Order delivers a message to your dad.

Was has been declared between Eiren, the prosperous but small realm you live in, and Alquia, the ancient and massive empire in the south of the continent.

Alquia has begun moving its armies north towards Eopolis, the capital, burning everything in their path.

Your grandfather wants your dad to return to the order and help defend the realm.

Your dad looks at your mother, your sister in her arms, and then crouches down before you.

"Son, you will be the man of the house while I'm gone, understood? You need to help Ellis and mom take care of Athena, and keep the town safe."
"Dad..."

[] Don't worry dad, I got it
[] The town needs you! They got a whole army to help the realm!
[] Other

>>34626524
Well, considering that your dad is a pretty nice guy, she did pretty okay.
Im just surprised the dice said you only got 1 sibling, to be honest.

>>34626650
You can't level up classes with bonus points. Only stats and abilities

Thank god it was only was.

>>34626788
Add 6 to everything, I guess.

>>34626788
>73 Con Supper helf
>36 1h

>>34626788
Kinda want to max devine magic. Boost Dex and Con as well. Wonder if a max would make someone catatonic though...How close is our father's connection to god?

>>34626871
He's a paladin, a divine champion, and the gods like him enough that his son was born a scion

>>34626788
>>34626839
This, maybe an extra 12 to Divine Magic

>>34626788
Boost Wis, Int, Cha and Divine Magic by 10 points each.
Boost Dex and Con by 20 each.

That should help him survive.

We should also boost our mom's stats by a similar amount so that she doesn't get overshadowed again.

>>34626788
Add 6 more to 1h and 2h weapons, 6 more to Ranged and Divine and boost his constitution by maybe, 10? But otherwise leave everything. Hopefully boosting just con and weapon ability won't have any adverse effects.

>>34626898
does divine magic allow you to heal yourself and others?

>>34626960
Seconded, ignore my post at >>34626964

>>34626965
Divine Magic opens up Healer, so I would assume so.

>>34626998
but dad doesn't have healing as a class it seems like.

>>34626960
Let's go with this one.

>>34627011
He might just have it turned off.
Or healing spells are included in the Paladin class.

>>34626939
I think thats not a BAD way to go about it, but you sure on elemental magic? may confuse him quite a bit. Plus, do you want to change either of his jobs to wizard, anyway? needs that to use elemental magic

>>34626965
yes, it also aids with barriers and summoning at higher ranks

Alright, lets see...
Going with
>>34626960
I guess? hold on changing his stats...

***
"Don't worry dad, I will take care of mom, Elli and Athena. You take care of yourself, alright!?"
"Alright" -your dad smiles as he ruffles your hair. "Come on, there's something else I need to show you before we go."

Your dad takes you on patrol as usual. He eplains to the village elder that he has to go, so they will have to organize a militia to patrol the town while he's gone. They could and should call for your mom if things look bad.

Once he's spoken to the elder, he takes you to the tower again.

"I said there was something else. That wasn't quite true... there's two things. The first one is this..."

He explains to you how it will probably take at least a couple of years for him to come back, so he won't be with you for your tenth birthday, and his family tradition is that the father gives his son a gift at that time, so he's going to give you your gift now.

He moves a stone that had been loose in the tower wall, making a hidden compartment. He takes out a longsword and kneels down so his eyes are even with yours when he gives it to you.

"This is our family's sword, son. My father gave it to me, as his dad gave it to him, and so on from before we can remember."
"Is it a magical sword?" -you ask him as you see the obvious quality and shine of the blade
"Yes, but... honestly I don't know what powers it has... I want it to keep you safe. You use it to keep your mom and your sister safe as well, understood?"
"Why don't you use it? that way it will keep you safe"
"I'm more of the two handed type myself. And I think my dad wouldnt forgive me if I didint give it to you before leaving."

>>34627256
Wait no, didn't mean elemental magic just the stuff that he laready had stuff on

>>34627256
There are more death flags than normal ones at the UN

>>34627256
"I understand. Don't worry, I'll definitely keep mom, sis and aunt Elli safe and continue the tradition, you'll see!"

>>34627320
Death flag semaphore?

>>34627340
This, adding in, "I'll make you proud."

>>34627351
Hah!

>>34627340
>>34627382
Oh good job, you killed him.

>>34627414
The story demanded his death anyway, just wanted to seal it up nicely.

>>34627256

"A-alright... " -you nod as you look at the weapon

Ljósbera
Mithril 1-handed longsword
Active Skills: ???? ???? ????
Passive Skills: Recovers HP equal to damage dealt

It has three unknown skills. They are all active skills

"Now, don't ever let go of that sword, son" -he also hands you the sword sheat.

It is a little too large for you to use on your waist, so he fixes it so you can carry it on your back.

"There we go. Now for the second thing. You remember that shrine by the bridge, at the edge of town?"
"Yes dad"
"Never forget to pay your respects whenever you pass by. And never, ever spill blood near the river. Do you hear me?"
"Yes dad."
"Alright, c´mon"

He takes you around the town a last time, telling you about every single villager, as well as a massive, blind olf bear that lives in a cavern north of town. The old beast hunts mice and rabbits and anything dumb enough to make noise around it, but won't bother you if you stay quiet.

A few days later, your dad leaves.
He is wearing his silver armor, and summoned his mount, a large, massive black warhorse with plated armor.

"I am going"
"Be safe" -your mother kisses him

Your dad pats your head gently and leaves.

Bye dad

>>34627609

Another year passes. Your mom and you help the militia keep the town safe in the meanwhile.

Your dad sends letters regularly, but some arrive and some do not.
He says that the alquians are having trouble moving their warmachines across the hills of the southern border, and that he has taken command of the 7th platoon of heavy knights.

That the elves of the Yellowoods are joining the army, interested in keeping the alquians from reaching the woods.

That the alquians have hired bands of demihumans to harass the supply lines from the east, but that the dwaves of the Skyridge mountains are clearing them out.

One day, they stop arriving altogether.. Then the refugees start showing up.

It looks like the alquians finally got their warmachines in position, and began laying siege to the eiren holds and fortresses, succeeding all across the border. The cillagers from the southern lands are fleeing north, towards the capital.

During this time, your mother has clung to you and Athena for mental support. She has taught you magic every day.

When orders come from the south to evacuate the town, your mother is devastated. Surely your dad would never let the enemy get this close to you and your sister.

She is torn between fleeing to the capital, and seek shelter with your father's family, or going west, back to the magic university, where she was offered a position as lecturer and teacher.

Second the shrine regardless of what the final choice is.

Ugh, the captcha changed back to words from numbers. I can HARDLY see this shit. Is there a way to change them back? it had been numbers for days and days I thought it was permanent. Was so happy

There's not enough metagaming going there, even if we CAN do it.
Just imagine all the possibilities if we use some 21st century knowledge and add it to the mix.

ALL THE POSSIBILITIES !

so, go to the shrine, pray for the return of our father, and whatever happens, use some time to engineer some sweeeeeeeet weapon of destruction.
I'm going with either choices here, just saying we should be able to craft some nice things.

>>34628069
Because you would totally know how to do all that if you died right now, and then spent ten years growing up in a world with no technology.

>>34627849
[x] Go to the magical university
The amount of magical ability there should make an attack there unpalatable.
The capital is sure to be sieged.

I'm not talking about making a nuclear reactor here, but depending on what we were doing with our previous life, there's a lot we could do.

feel free to do so. I fully assumed you guys would. Im genuinely surprised you havent
****

The morning after the army orders arrive, you head over to the river shrine to pray for your father's safe and quick return.

You are focused enough that you don't notice the alquian scout group until they are on the other side of the bridge.

It looks like 6 green skinned brutes... is that what an orc looks like? and a human soldier.

You are all that stands between them and the town.

[ ] Face them on the bridge. Start by having fireballs rain down on them
[ ] Lure them away. The old bear's cave is not far from here. You are a lot quieter than a small troop of soldiers
[ ] Run like hell back to town and try to organize the militia. Get your mom's help

We can't risk getting blood in the river because daddy said not to.

no drawing blood at the river lets lure these fools

Probably not a good idea to try 6:1 our first go around, and no spilling blood near the river.

>>34628213
>lure them to the beast.
>try to stealthily get to your mother, after all your father said she could take care of problems.

If it fails, i guess it's fireworks time.


On a side note, can we have a background check about our previous life ?

DO NOT SPILL BLOOD IN THE RIVER!

Then from the forest get to the town ASAP and alert the milita in case of further trouble

>>34628334
Well, alright
To be fully honest, I started thinking about this as a series of short stories I was writing as a gift for a friend. He's a chemical engineer. Funny enough, he liked the idea and made himself in Rolemaster.
His RL skills alone took 3 levels. I told him /tg/ would call him OP
Can make gunpowder
Can assemble, maintain and operate nuclear reactors. Is what he was doing when I met him
But maybe a medic or at least a medicine student would be just as useful?
I don't really have a preference one way or another. What do you guys want?

Hey what is our mount? We still havent summoned it

>>34628431
Janitor, Jack of all Trades.
There aren't enough Janitor MCs

>>34628434
Well, as a cild, it would have been a very large wardog. By now I imagine its a battlepony. But don't we have knight "off"?

>>34628213

Summon the mount and ride like Paul Revere

>>34628431
i'd be pleased to go for an engineer, someone who would be able to make vehicles, motors and that kind of stuff.

Alquian Warmachines, remember ?

>>34628460
I dont know, you mentioned Noble off once and then Knight off.

>>34628460
Knight is off, but we can turn classes on and off at will, unlike normal people.
At least, that's what I remember you saying.

>>34628575
>Level 3 Wizard, Level 3 Scion, Level 1 Noble (off), Level 3 Ranger, Level 3 Knight, Level 1 Healer (off)
It seems noble is off instead of knight

>>34628431
>I told him /tg/ would call him OP
I really hate this kind of attitude.

Anyway, I'd be fine with chemical engineer. Chemicals are the basis of metallurgy, which is needed to be a mechanical engineer.
If you don't have the needed alloys and elements, then you can't get the higher tier stuff anyway.

>>34628544
I assumed they were both off
Let me see, you currently have

Level 3 Wizard, Level 3 Scion, Level 1 Noble (off), Level 3 Ranger, Level 3 Knight, Level 1 Healer (off)

Want to turn some off and some on?
>>34628575
right, but i was talking about the mount is stronger the more knight and/or paladin levels we have, so it would be very fragile. Sure, it can take us to town, but if it gets hit, its going down in two hits right now

Anyway, most people seem to want to go to the bear, so im typing that, hold on

>>34628629
Seconding.

>>34628629
>I really hate this kind of attitude.
Well, it's not like it's baseless. You can't blame people for having it.

>>34628645
You stare at their leader. He stares back at you and shouts for the orcs to grab you!

You have a fair headstart and you know the terrain, so you have little trouble staying ahead of them as you run into the bear's cave.

Thankfully, it's winter, so the bear is sleeping. You know the cave well enough, so as soon as the orcs go into the cave after you, you run in, take a left, slip past the sleeping bear and climb up through a hole.

Once outside, you throw a small fireball into the cave, and the roar that follows tells you that the large cave bear is quite awake now.

The cries will haunt you for days afterwards.

The alquian soldier spots you and tries to chase you climbing after you, but you manage to miss him.

As you approach the town, you shout the alarm and the villagers arm themselves with the weapons in the tower.

Your mom organizes the archers with her on top of the tower while the rest of the villagers lie in wait within the buildings.

The volley of fireballs and arrows that welcomes the soldier us more than enough to take him down.quickly, and the villagers begin packing their belongings to leave town.

It seemed like a tie between the capital and the magic city. Is that right?

>>34628926
The magic city sounds like our best bet considering our still alive mom is from there

>>34628933

You talk with your mom. She wasn't noble born, so while your father's family would LOVE to have you and your sister with them, they wouldn't be as happy with them. And it would be hard to explain why Elli is with you, so in the end, your mother decides to accept the position at the magic university.

A few days later, your mom buys a wagon and horse to help carry your family comfortably towards the east.

You help Elli pack things up, while the rest of the townsfolk prepare to leave in their own ways. The petite elf is obviously saddened to leave, but she's determined to stay with your family.

The next time you stop at the shrine to pay your respects, you explain that your family is leaving because of the war, that the enemy soldiers may arrive soon, and about how you hope that Cedric will return safe and sound.

By the time you lift your eyes, you see two rings glowing on top of the shrine.

[ ] Take the left one
[ ] Take the right one
[ ] Take both

>>34629139
Use our Info Screen ability to bracket those rings.
What can we tell about them?
And put down another coin and pray, "I'm sorry, I'm pretty dense when it comes to things like this. What am I supposed to do with them? Take both and give one to my sister? Take one and the other will find my dad?"
