New User Ranks

**Farcaster** · 11-21-2007, 04:44 PM

For fun, I added some new user ranks to replace the tired old Junior Member, Senior Member titles. It was once suggested that we add some ranks based on levels in the d20 system. So shall it be written, so shall it be done. You'll now find a new title under your user name in the forums based on your experience (i.e. forum posts). Don't get too hung up on "grinding" post count though, as there may well be even more prestigious titles in store for members who don't just belt out posts, but who contribute with meaningful and useful posts and topics.

Cool. Do we get to know how many XP we need to reach the next level or is this one of THOSE systems?

Oh also, do we gain bunches of special abilities as we level up (like the ability to learn new Google FU moves or troll slamming)?

At what levels can we take Planar substitution levels?

Bah, I'm fine as an "Adventurer". We don't need another Hero. We don't need to know the way home. All we want is ... oh, never mind.

Great... I want to multiclass.

The levels work similar to the leveling chart in d20. Level 0 requires at least 1 post, Level 1 requires 10. After that, it increases by the 5 x (Current Level + 1). So,

Level 3 = 35 posts
Level 4 = 55 posts
Level 5 = 80 posts

etc...

Google FU moves? You obviously already have the ability "Confuse Administrator" even at your level. What more could you want?

Great ! A few more posts and I get a feat...

ummm..

Where can these be found?

Do we have to use the offical books, if so which ones...

Having thought about this I suspect a few more pointless posts and I will able to get a little smarter...+1 Int at 4th... Yeah!

or perhaps I should stick to Charisma....

hehe this is awesome...

will you be allowing d20 future source book classes and feats?

**Farcaster** · 11-24-2007, 06:26 AM

Hmm.. I don't know about that, but I was thinking about making an "xp" bar that would show you how far along you were in your level...

**Malruhn** · 11-24-2007, 10:56 PM

I like the idea! And congrats on a great job on the website!!

**Fsuphilosophy09** · 11-25-2007, 05:05 AM

i was just joking but the xp bar is defeintly a GREAT idea

**Malruhn** · 11-26-2007, 09:16 PM

I second the vote for an XP bar!!

**PhishStyx** · 11-26-2007, 10:16 PM

Yeah, I like the XP bar idea.

I'm waiting to see what other "special titles" he bring out for people who put up meaningful posts. What exactally in a "meaningful post" anyway? I'm pretty sure it isn't Moritz shouting how "he's the champion"
