Main Goal

This is a script that converts any /bant/ thread into a dragon slaying match

The script parses the thread using the json API and calculates damage/classes and other skills depending on post rolls, images, replies, etc...

The main goal is to kill a dragon (or any other boss) by roleplaing on /bant/ posting your hits and skills and checking the script page for damage output and fight status

The game focus on cooperation, as every class depends on eachother for its full benefit, this is why we implemented a diferent set of classes and skills and balanced them in a co-dependent way.

Using your class specific skills you can help eachother in the quest of defeating a dragon. if cooperation is not achived the thread will simply die by itself...

What is a roll?

A 'roll' consists in the last 2 digits of your post number. Ocasionaly, some skills will use the last 2 digits of the id generated for images you post.

Rolls are calculated in a way that they allways return a >0 number, this means that if your last 2 digits are "00" the script will look for your last 3 digits. if you last 3 digits are still "000", the script will look for your last 4 digits. this will go on until a >1 digit is found.

This system was only possible because /b/ had a very very very fast post per second ratio, making the last 2 digits of your post nearly random.

What is my ID?

Your ID is a randomly generated hash that 4chan gives you.

This hash is unique for every thread you enter meaning it will change from thread to thread but not from post to post.This way the script can detect exactly who you are and what have you posted in a thread, thracking the damage for each ID.

Your ID determinates your class. The script assigns you a class and because IDs are persistent only inside the same thread this class will change the next dragonraid thread you enter.

All classes are balanced, or at least we try to make them balanced, by some being common then others. This does not mean some classes suck and others don't. Its just the way the game was designed, making the classes more or less needed.

The Boss

The boss has a radom HP depending on OP's roll. this allows for stronger or weaker dragons. The minimum HP is now set to 16.000HP.

Damage

Your damage is calculated based on your roll. The script will output everyone`s damage as well as other actions.
Some skills (depending on your class) will add or remove damage to your roll.

Death

When you roll under 11 you will die. this means your posts will no longer do damage until you are revived. (death knights may cheat death)

Everytime someone dies, the boss will heal for a small amouth depending on the death roll. If you are a healer try reviving your falled team mates, they will thank you for that.

TOP

The script keeps a sidebar with diferent TOP10 lists so you can track the raid party overall effectiveness.

To summon a minion simply post an image. The image filename roll will be added to your damage as a bonus.
If a minion rolls trips or quads, that many damage is added.

Elemental Damage

You can summon 6 diferent minions by typing diferent commands in your post:

Burst Damage

Warlocks will critical hit if the minion last digit matches their roll last digit. This is called burst damage and it will greatly increase the minion's power.

Elements (beta)

Elements are a new mechanic introduced on version 1.6

The new bosses have a randomly generated element, and these elements are arranged in a strong/weak table.

Each element has a weakness.

Right now the only class using elements are Warlocks, but soon more classes will interact with them.
check this page for updates!

Special Rolls

Some rolls have special effects.

Miss!

Some rolls will miss regardless of the roll damage. This is calculated randomly (around 4% chance).

Rolling 000 trips, 0000 Quads, 00000 Quints, etc

Rolls are calculated in a way that they allways return a >0 number, this means that if your last 2 digits are "00" the script will look for your last 3 digits. if you last 3 digits are still "000", the script will look for your last 4 digits. this will go on until a >1 digit is found.

If you roll a number enting in more than two zeros (000,0000,0000,00000) your roll will give a great amouth of damage.

This roll will also REVIVE EVERYONE

All other skills and abilities are ignored (avenges don't work, bonus are not applied, critical hits are not trigered).

Rolling 69

Rolling a 69 will REVIVE EVERYONE

Your damage is ignored for this roll

All other skills and abilities are ignored (avenges don't work, bonus are not applied, critical hits are not trigered).
