Welcome to the rules section to DragonballRPG! These rules are here to make sure that we all have a good time playing, and keeps lamers from messing things up! This RPG is a FREEFORM RPG, which means there isn't a bot running things, but even freeform RPG's have rules, so bare with us. And by the end of reading all of this if you still have some questions feel free to message an OP. ^_^
The Right Way Explanation
In the first pose we see Goku flying up beind Frieza and then saying he is attempting to put his
arms around Frieza's neck and then snap it. You see how there is no finality in the pose. Goku does not say he got his
arms around Frieza's neck or that he actually snapped it. This is called an open-ended pose.
The Wrong Way Explanation
In the second pose Goku simply grabs onto Frieza's neck and snaps it which doesn't allow for
Frieza to do what is called a counter pose, a response to another persons attack or movement. This is called a
closed-pose and is NOT allowed.
And so the fight would continue on as such. Just remember when you are fighting to leave everything open, don't assume your character will automatically hit even if you believe it will. You never know what the other character might do in a certain situation.
I am Gokou's Illegitamite son, I come from another dimension, I wanna become
a Super Saiyan.
Okay, that's a bit extreme there, but you'd be suprised how many people
send in apps similar to this. Please be original with your characters,
don't make them the son of this and the father of that and the ultimate of this and destiny forthcoming gobbldeegook!
Know what I mean? Be original, leave room for your character to develop, think about your character! Write a good and
interesting background! It'll make everything go a lot smoother and help make your character a lot more interesting
and more fun to RP with! Trust me.
But..... He's Dead...
"I want to play Bardock." "But, he died." "But he's really cool!" "He's dead
man. And this RPG
takes place about 20 or so years after the Bardock story." "But he's really cool man and he
got wished back with the Dragonballs!" "He's been dead too long to be wished back with the
Dragonballs." "But I wanna play him!"
Ok, I hope that gets the point across. This is a story based RPG. Story means
everything here (Moreso than the battles that are fought) so saying 'They get wished back with
the Dragonballs' will not cut it. If you can think of a cool, innovative way to bring the
person back that you want to play, then
run it by us. Saying 'he gets wished back with the Dragonballs' though, will
not work.
No Stealing Moves
Original characters can NOT have another's attack without the possible consent of an operator.
If your character has never met Vegeta or Krillin, how is he going to be able to do a Big Bang
Attack or Destructo Disc? See further down the page for information on learning these things in actual RP.
God Characters
My character can take on Super Saiyan 3 Gokou and Buu at the same time while drinking a
can of Pepsi.
That's a little exagerrated sure, but what I mean is: making a
character to be introduced
to the rpg that is already nearly as powerful as the main characters isn't too fair.
Instead, use gradual development for your character. You know, train, have him create learn
new attacks or whatever (with permission of the Ops of course) , delve deeper into his/her ability!
Remember, Gokou and the others trained for years (decades actually) to become as strong as
they are.
Kamehameha's and So Forth
The Kamehameha and other such moves are specific to each character. This was mentioned before, don't
steal other peoples moves! Now, if your character is taught another one, you can learn it. However, before your character
suddenly learns these new mystic and amazing powers, he's going to have to get an OP's approval. Like most things,
you're going to need a reason to of learned a new move or power or technique or whatever you decide to call it. Tell us
why your character found this new power, learned it, was taught it, or whatever. Just be sensible with this, please.
The Power Level system in DragonballRPG works as follows. Each character has their own Power Level, dependant on this power level, they are put in a range class. These range classes are to not only help give a better way to do battles with people stronger and weaker than you, but it keeps your power level a secret from the other characters! (If you really want to keep it a secret, that is. The only ones that will know your power level are you and the AOP's.) Don't go trying to say your PL is something else, either. Otherwise, you'll be kicked/banned.
In general, people within
one class of each other can probably have a good fight. People in the same class will have close fights.
People within
two classes of each other will probably have a slightly unbalanced fight and so on. Remember! Just because
someone is a higher or lower class,
it does not mean you will win or lose!
I can't stress this point enough!!!

Raising Your Power Level
Raising your Power Level (Or P.L.) is not a cut and dry case. Power levels will be raised depending
on how reasonable it would be that it goes up. We're not going to be crazy about this and not let your character raise
up in power levels, however, we're also not going to let you raise your P.L. up for no reason! Here's some reasons for
raising your characters power level:
These are just examples, if you have another reason your character's power level might of gone up, let us know! It's case by case, but please don't bug us constantly about getting it raised, otherwise it becomes annoying.
Changing Your Power Level
This is for those characters that have transformation powers in order to become more powerful than
they currently are, such as being a Super Saiyan, or Frieza's changing forms. In general, each transformation will be
determined by the OP's, depending on what the transformation is and what it does. More than likely, transforming will
bump your range class up one or two.
