WORLD SAGAS
Sometimes, things happen that are too wide in scope to be confined to a single Personal Saga, or even an Event. When that occurs, it is time for a World Saga, World Sagas are meant to imitate the larger arcs in Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z, such as when the Z-Fighters trained to face the Saiyans and Goku received special training from King Kai, and the events came to a head in an epic clash between the defenders of Earth and two of the last surviving members of the Saiyan empire.
World Sagas, for the most part, follow the same rules as normal Events; however, there will be multiple threads. A player may only be a combatant in one World Saga thread at the time. Unlike in a regular Event, since the World Saga is ongoing, you may update your locked-in character sheet with rewards issued by staff at the conclusion of every thread you have participated in.
A World Saga offers almost the same rewards as a regular Event. The one addendum to these rewards comes in the form of a new form of currency; Saga Tokens.
For every 5 posts a participant or GM makes, they gain 1 Saga Token. These tokens may be redeemed for a wide variety of benefits. Some of these benefits may be used immediately in the World Saga thread the participant is in. Clearly, this can lead to a bit of bookkeeping. Saga Token management will be handled thusly;
Saga Tokens are earned by players and GM’s at a rate of 1 Token per 5 posts made in a World Saga thread. This is not cumulative; these are counted by an individual player’s posts. Every 10 posts, a participant may submit a request in the Grading Station to have their current tokens added to their inventory. Upon GM approval, the tokens may be put into your inventory, and subsequently spent. A player may have an unlimited number of Saga Tokens. They are permanent items until they are spent, and will carry over from Saga to Saga. Unless otherwise stated, you may purchase a given benefit multiple times. To purchase a benefit, you must make a request in the Grading Station, and a GM must approve it.
Here is a list of benefits, ordered by their cost in Saga Tokens-
- Power Enhancement- 1 Token: +250 PL
- Skill Enhancement- 1 Token: +2 MP
- Versatility- 1 Token: +1,000 EP
- Reserves of Power- 2 Tokens: As a Bonus Action, you dig deep and find hidden reserves of power and resilience; you may either regain 60 ki or heal for 30 HP. This does not count against any per-thread limit for other healing.
- Burst of Inspiration- 2 Tokens: You may decrease the learning time of a technique you are learning by 1 week. This may allow you to learn a technique mid-Saga.
- Close Call- 3 Tokens: As a reactive at-will action, when you would be dropped to 0 HP, or below you are instead dropped to 1 HP as you miraculously avoid being knocked out or slain by your foe’s vicious attacks.
- No Teacher Like Experience- 4 Tokens: When gaining rewards for a thread, you may increase your Dragon's Share bonus to the next tier. If you are receiving a 50% bonus already, you instead receive a 75% bonus for the rewards from that thread.
