Rules of Play Age Limits Players must be 18 years old to play without a consent form and at least 15 with a parent permission form and owner approval. Children 11-15 are allowed to play with a responsible parent on site and owner approval. Children 10 and under may attend but are considered non-combatants and must remain with a guardian at all times. People with medical conditions must report them to the owner. We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone.

Cost to Play Admission is based on the amount of time spent in game. Players can also purchase an additional build each event.

Cost of Play Chart

+1 Build may be purchased at each event for $5

+10 Build may be purchased once per character for $50. May be purchased in smaller increments.

All purchased build is permanently gained to character slot. Should your character in that slot permanently die, or become retired, all purchased build will carry over to the new character. Build from events, service points, and special awards will not carry over to the new character.

Any player can purchase the full event no matter the time.

Players may play more than one PC over the course of an event. They must play each of the characters for a full tag ring. Your total tag rings for the event are divided amongst the characters. The fee to do this is $10 administration fee in addition to their event fee.

Items, coin, or any IG items cannot be transferred between characters

NPC Shift There are two types of characters. Player characters or PCs are the people who play the game. The second group is more important to the game. These are the NPCs or Non-player characters. NPCs provide the rich conflicts of the game through combat and role play. NPCs are so vital to the game that all players are required to NPC for a portion of the weekend. We will have non-combat NPC positions for those people who want to play but not fight. Playing a NPC is a great way to learn the world of Sovereign Scrolls. One can act, fight, and learn without risking one's PC. Subplot NPC lead positions are available, as are long term NPC contracts

Advancement As a person's character interacts with the world his/her character will grow in power and influence. This is represented by build. All skills are purchased in-game with build. New Characters begin the game with 30 build. Players coming to Sovereign Scrolls from other systems will receive an additional 5 build for their first character. This is a thank you to the LARPing community for its support. Each event PCed has a potential for receiving 4 build. (1 for the Event, 1 for NPC Shift, 1 purchased for $5, 1 for spending 50 service points)

NPCing can gain you 5 build. (1 For the Event, 2 for NPCing, +1 purchased for $5, +1 for spending 50 service points) NPCing costs $10

Level A character’s level is defined as Total Build -5 divided by 10. 25-34 Build is 2nd Level. 35-44 is 3rd Level, 45-54 is 4th level, and 415-424 Build would be 41st level.

Rules of Arms Weapon Size, Damage, & Length The following chart shows the various types of weapons you will find in the game, their base damage, and their minimum/maximum size. In a case where a weapon’s damage is listed as 2/3, the 2 indicates damage if the weapon is wielded in one hand and the 3 is the damage when it is used in two hands.

Weapon Damage Min/Max Small Weapon 1 12 / 24 One-Handed 2 24 / 46 Bastard 2 / 3 44 / 49 Two-Handed 3 45 / 62 Bow / Crossbow 4 See Description Small Claws 1 18 / 24 Large Claws 2 24 / 46 Pole Arm* 3 / 2 60 / 78 Bastard Spear 2 / 3 40 / 60 Staff 2 60 / 72 Thrown Weapon 1 6 / 18

Weapon Chart

When using the blade end of a pole arm, it will swing for 3 damage. When striking with an approved combat pommel, the pole arm will strike for 2 damage. The pommel must be strike legal if it is intended to be used in this manner.

Weapon Construction Latex weapons will be judged on a case by case basis by a safety marshal at check-in. If your weapon has not been approved, then it is not allowed to be used in combat until such time. Proper safe use of latex is the responsibility of the player, if not observed, the use of latex

weapons will be banned for that player until such a time as they prove to understand the proper and safe usage of such weapons.

At Sovereign Scrolls, we encourage creative design in weapons and shield, but reserve the right to fail any weapon or shield that is not deemed fit and safe for combat use. All weapons and shields must be approved by a safety marshal before used in combat.

Homemade Guidelines All weapons must be built using these following rules:

Acceptable weapons cores include fiberglass tubes and rods, carbon tubes and rods, PVC, bamboo, graphite golf shaft. Other options will be examined and considered. All cores must be capped on both ends with alternating layers of tape and/or foam until it is decidedly dull.

Strike legal portions of a weapon must have a minimum of 3/4" closed cell foam. The strike legal padding depth may never be less than the diameter of the weapon core. The minimum strike legal surface for a slashing weapon is 12". Minimum strike legal length for a stabbing weapon is only 6". All portions of the weapon above the handle that are not strike legal must be courtesy padded with at least 1/2" of closed cell foam. These sections will not be allowed to deliver a legal shot.

All stab tips must have a minimum of 1/2" closed cell foam plus 2" of open cell, or 1" of closed cell past the core. Two-handed weapons, but not bastards, require one inch of closed cell foam plus two inches of open cell or 1.5" closed cell.

Handles on weapons may be up to 14" or 1/3 of the weapons length, whichever is greater. Weapons more than 60" in length may have a handle that is 2/3 its length. Stab only weapons less than 60" may have 30" handles. Pommels must be 1.25" in width and covered on the sides

and end with a minimum of 1/2" of closed cell foam. Crossguards must meet this diameter requirement and may not have a rigid core.

Basket hilts and such on any weapon are allowed as long as they do not exceed maximum shield dimensions. These must be padded with at least 1/2" of closed cell foam. These weapons will never be considered shields for the purposes of armor points. Any weapon may have a stab legal pommel. This pommel must have an appropriate stab tip and must be 6" of strike legal surface.

Special Weapons Specially designed weapons may be thrown by characters with the appropriate skills. Throwing weapons must be 2.5" in diameter at minimum. These may be from 6" to 18" of strike legal surface. Only weapons approved as throwing weapons may be thrown at other players in combat.

Staves are special weapons of 5' to 8' that must have 12 inches of Strike-legal surface on both ends with proper tips. Each end must be padded at least 1/3rd the total length of the staff.

Flails are special weapons with a single articulating head. The chain of a flail is not a legal striking edge and must be wrapped in foam with less than half an inch of the rope exposed at any point. The combined rope and striking edge may not exceed 18 inches in length and the total length of the weapon may not exceed 36 inches. The top half of the non-rope and Strike-legal portion of the weapon must be padded.

Ranged Attack Packets Packets are used to deliver a variety of attacks. Packets must be filled with fine birdseed which does not contain overly large or rough seeds. The seed must be wrapped in fabric and bound by a rubber band. The amount of seed must be

between 1oz. and 3oz. The preferable fabric to be used would be a biodegradable fabric such as cotton. In the event that a specific site does not allow birdseed for environmental reasons, biodegradable airsoft pellets are an acceptable substitute at these sites only.

Shields Shields may be made out of such materials as plastic, wood, foam, or aluminum snow disks. Please use common sense when selecting shield material, anything too brittle or unsafe will be denied for combat use. Any edges must be rendered dull and then covered with at least 1/2" of closed cell foam. No bolts, wing-nuts, or protrusions may be exposed on the outer facing. Any bolt heads or washers on the outer facing must be smooth and dull; no more than 1/4" tall. The minimum shield size is 12 inches as the shortest length or width. The maximum shield size can be no larger than 42 Inches in length or width. The maximum considers all vertical and horizontal dimensions as well as cutouts as part of the measurement.

Bows We allow actual bows and crossbows with strict rules and guidelines. They are accepted on a case by case for safety of everyone involved. For safety reasons, a bow cannot be used to block weapon attacks. Any unintentional blocks will deliver the damage to the player as if struck in the forearm.

The maximum limit for a bow‘s pull is 35 pounds with a maximum 28-inch draw length. Bows may not be pulled past 28". Crossbows are limited to no more than 450 foot-pounds. No compound bows are allowed. Broken or mended arrows are not to be used. A bow should only be drawn halfway if target is within 20 feet and you may not shoot at a target that is within 10 feet. Crossbows may be fired within 20 feet, but not within 10.

Arrows Acceptable arrows are limited to those made of graphite, carbon or aluminum. All arrows must have fletching and nocks in good repair and may not be bent. Arrowheads must be removed from the arrow shaft, with a special cap in its place. The arrow tip must be built up and capped with a sufficiently strong material, such as a washer, bottle cap, or penny, to at least 3/4". Strike legal arrowheads must have a minimum of 2" of closed cell foam past the cap and at least 2.5" in diameter. The arrowhead may not protrude more than 1.5" through a 2.5" ring.

It is suggested that a layer of open cell foam or closed cell of a lower density, like a stress ball, is used to reduce the recoil of the arrow when it strikes a solid surface. The arrowhead must be cloth covered and securely fastened to the arrow in such a way that movement is minimal.

All arrows must be clearly labeled with their owner’s name on the shaft or fletching. Arrows may not be drawn beyond 28 inches, and must have a stopper in place if they are longer. Any arrows that are not constructed properly will not be allowed to be carried into game, so if you have doubts ask questions before an event.

Rules of Safe Combat Weapon shots must be thrown from a 60 degree angle at minimum. Shots may be thrown in as quick a succession as a player can call the damage clearly. Repeated shots to the exact same spot in succession beyond the second are not valid.

Weapons may not be wielded by the strike legal portion. Only one weapon or shield may be

wielded in a hand. Dusts (poisons) may not be held in a hand wielding a weapon. Strikes to an item held that is not being wielded will result in the strike carrying to the lower arm.

Lightest touch from projectiles and packets must be taken. However, projectiles that strike only shields or garb that would not have struck true do not count. Packet delivered attacks count as long as they touch anything the player is carrying or wearing no matter how lightly. Bounces never count on either projectiles or packets.

Packets that strike any item worn, carried, or wielded by a player, or that strike ANY part of a player are valid.

It is the discretion of the receiving player whether to take shots to the groin.

Valid hit locations are defined as anywhere below the neck. A shot to the area below the ankle of a foot in contact with the ground will not register a valid hit. A shot to the hand which is wielding either a weapon or a shield will not register a valid hit.

Deflections off of an illegal target to a legal target (such as the head to the shoulder) do not count as legal hits. Simultaneous strikes to both a legal and illegal target do not count as valid hits. Deflections from a legal target that continue on to strike an illegal target will count for the legal target strike. Deliberate blocking with illegal targets is prohibited.

Shots that are blocked still count if 50 percent of the shot carries through to a legal target. If you are unsure whether a shot was "good enough," it was. Shots that knock aside a block and then strike also count as valid hits.

Physical role-play in a safe manner with permission is acceptable. No grappling, rough, shield-bashing, or physical contact without the

express consent of all people involved will be allowed. Violation of this rule can easily result in a player being removed from combat.

The tunic area is defined as the area above the knee above the elbow and below the neck. This definition excludes the head, lower arms and lower legs.

Point Blank Point Blank is a special rule that any archer may use if he is being charged or risks shooting an arrow where it cannot be recovered (i.e. lakes, fire). Since an archer may not shoot at a target that is within 10 feet of them, they may call Point Blank “Damage”. Point Blank means that the target is hit for that damage without an arrow being shot. The strike automatically hits regardless of shields. Note that an appropriate defensive effect will still be effective. Point Blank may only be called if the archer already had an arrow nocked when the person came within 10 feet. This rule may not be combined with any skills that use vigor, but proficiencies are still applied. Point Blank may only be used once every minute.

Constant and Maximum Weapon Damage Every weapon has a maximum amount of constant damage that it can strike a target for. Constant damage can be defined as the amount of damage dealt by a weapon type for consecutive blows that range over a minute without the expenditure of Mana or Vigor. The amount of damage that is able to be constantly swung is determined by a combination of factors.

1. Weapon Type 2. Constant permanent strength 3. Weapon Proficiencies determined by

class.

A player may further enhance the amount of constant damage done with a weapon through use of enchantments, alchemy and mundane effects. However, a player may only increase their constant damage through these methods in an additional two ways. After that any damage enhancing effects that will raise a player’s damage will fail.

Weapons Types As a world at war, common weapons lie available to all people in need. These weapons are shoddy of make, unable to hold together in the face of real power.

Standard Weapons Standard weapons require no tag, but if broken must be taken back to an armory or forge to be replaced for no cost. Standard weapons deal base weapon damage in "Normal" damage. The constant damage of a Standard weapon cannot increase more than 1 point from any source.

Silver Weapons Silver weapons are treated as tagged Standard weapons dealing "Silver" damage. As a tagged item, Silver weapons are only available from proper in game sources.

Steel Weapons Steel Weapons are tagged weapons dealing "Normal" damage. Steel weapons are sturdy and well-made allowing full use of constant damage bonuses as per the rules of constant damage. As a tagged item, Steel weapons are only available from proper in game sources.

Mythril Weapons Mythril weapons are treated as Steel weapons dealing "Mythril" damage. As a tagged item, Mythril weapons are only available from proper in game sources.

Magic Weapons Magic Weapons have special properties and deal "Magic" damage. Magic weapons allow all constant damage bonuses per the constant damage rules. Magic weapons are special and require an item tag, a Mana tag, or a ritual note with tags.

Shields Besides keeping harmful strikes from reaching you, certain shields give armor points if you have the training. Reinforced shields require the skill Shield Proficiency and grant 10 armor points. The armor that is granted by the shield does not count towards the armor totals required by the armor proficiency skills for soaks. A shield that is struck with a damaging swing does not reduce the armor points awarded for the shield. Also, if the armor that was awarded by the shield is expended, that shield is still usable as a shield. In order to repair the armor points of a shield, it must undergo the same process as normal armor

Armor Even the heartiest of adventures appreciates some protection from his enemies’ blows. Armor provides this protection by granting an additional amount of damage the character can take. While wearing armor, the breast and back pieces provide the major part of the protection. This is demonstrated by the amount of armor points provided by wearing armor that covers both of these sections. Every section of armor worn after the chest piece will provide more protection.

Sections considered for armor purposes:

• Torso (which counts as five spots if front, back and shoulders are covered.)

• Upper Arms • Lower Arms • Upper Legs

• Lower Legs

One Optional Section: Head and Neck, Hands, or Feet.

The following table shows the armor’s rank which corresponds with the armor point values per section. The max value indicated is for class limitations on maximum armor points wearable.

Armor Type Rank Max Value Cloth or Fur 0 5 Soft Leather 1 20 Heavy or Studded 2 30 Chain or Scale 3 40 Plate or Brigandine 4 50

Armor Chart

To gain full points for a section, a player must have at least 3/4 of the area covered. To gain the full bonus for lower legs the player must be wearing two greaves that cover at least 3/4s of the front 180 degrees of the shin. If only one greave is worn, then the player will only be awarded half of the armor value for that section. The final armor total must be a whole number, any remaining value less than 1 is rounded down.

Armor Definition Cloth Armor Two layers of cloth sewn together with padding in the middle (quilted) or four layers of a cloth with denim type thickness sewn together. Fur is defined as actual animal hide that is light and flexible. It may have hair attached or be actual suede.

Leather A minimum 1/8" thick animal hide.

Hard Leather Hard Leather is leather at minimum of 1/8" thick that has been harded by boiling, soaking in wax, etc and is no longer flexible.

Studded Leather Studded Leather is Leather 1/8" thick that has been studded with metal no further than 2" apart.

Thick Leather Thick Leather is leather with a 3/8" thickness or more.

Chainmail Metal rings woven together with a minimum size of 18g. Riveted or welded rings are exempt from this size requirement.

Scale Mail 20g minimum plates woven into chainmail that overlap. If this requirement is met, these sections automatically garner the +1 bonus.

Brigandine Metal plates at least 20g in thickness attached to either Cloth, Fur, or Leather garments that are held in contact, and cover the majority of the garment area.

Lamellar and Plate 20g or thicker metal plates that overlap to cover or are shaped in such a way to cover the entire area. If these requirements are met, these areas automatically garner the +1 bonus.

Armor Bonuses and Penalties Any armor may receive a bonus by being of exceptional construction or quality, by being of a greater thickness than the minimum, by wearing cloth, fur or soft leather armor underneath or above it, or by being studded with metal studs no more than 2" apart. The bonus will be a maximum of one point per section, resulting in the value being that of the next higher armor level, but it will still count as the original armor level. For example, a wizard may wear studded cloth armor and receive the points that leather would usually garner. This will not allow plate or lamellar totals to exceed the maximum total of

50. Any Armor may receive a penalty for being a detraction from immersion, if it doesn’t look like it armor at all, or is being below the minimum requirements. This penalty will never result in the armor getting more than one negative point per section. Upon first inspection, the penalty may be waived for up to three months to allow for improvement.

Evaluating Armor Armor will be evaluated by starting with the score of the armor it is or it most closely resembles. Consideration will be given based greatly on aesthetic value, as well as protective value. Armor may only be evaluated by a weapon marshal or Staff member. Each Character will be issued an armor card that must be carried to use the armor points. If the player has a dispute with their armor total awarded a second marshal may be asked to review the armor total under the supervision of a Director who was not involved in the original evaluation. Should this award a different armor total than the original evaluation, the Director will modify the existing armor card and sign off on it.

Armor & Waylay The Waylay skill can be prevented by wearing chain head and neck protection or better. The head and neck must be covered in at least chain armor to prevent waylay. The waylay protection is granted from the worn protection, mystical armors and virtual armor rules will not provide the waylay protection.

Armor by Class Each class is limited in the armor type they can wear. Each classes’ highest armor available to them:

Bard Leather 20 Dead Caller Leather 20 Druid Hard/Thick Leather 30 Evoker Cloth 5

Fel Knight Chain 40 Healer Chain 40 Mesmer Leather 20 Paladin Plate 50 Rogue Studded/Heavy Thick Leather 30 Warrior Plate 50 Wizard Cloth 5

Armor by Class Chart

Multi-Classing & Armor A character that purchases a multiclass option will have their effective armor rank changed. The character will always be able to wear the best type of armor that any of their classes allow, but when they do they will not be able to use abilities of the more limited classes. Due to their diverse training, they are able wear an average of armor rank across all classes trained.

For example, if a Warrior were to multiclass with a Healer, they could wear the average of armor of the two classes. Plate armor is considered rank 4 armor, whereas Chain is considered rank 3 armor. The average of the two armors equals 3.5, which rounds down to 3. If the player were to continue to wear armor higher than rank 4 armor, the character would lose all casting abilities associated with that class. However, that player may invoke any latent effects that they already possess. The Average of the armor ranking is rounded down.

Immersion Effect By being a true part of the world of Ya'Ria, characters that are both a visual and experience addition to the game are granted a benefit for helping make the world of Sovereign Scrolls a more immersive and enjoyable experience. For having good costuming and appropriate racial make-up, you gain 5 points of magical armor. This armor is not affected by anything that targets or requires armor or an armor value. This armor can only be repaired through 5 minutes of in-game interaction. This armor does not count

towards the armor totals required by the armor proficiency skills for soaks.

Armor Repair Armor is destined to fall to pieces, saving the wearer from a similarly gruesome fate. When the inevitable comes to pass, armor wearers may seek out a forge or workshop to repair the damage to their equipment. It costs 1vigor and 1 griffon per 5 points of armor repaired. In addition, it takes 1 minute of role-play per 5 points repaired. This role-play can include, but is not limited to, reforging armor pieces, sewing back straps, and reworking the links and ties.

Soak Soak reduces a physical numeric damage by 1. This reduction counts only for Weapon, Thrown Weapon, and Archery Delivered attacks. Soak does not apply to spell damage, essence damage, poisons, or packet delivered damage. Every strike will still do a minimum of 1damage, regardless of the defender’s total soak.

The minimum total for soak armor skills are as follows:

Amor Proficiency 1 20 points minimum Amor Proficiency 2 30 points minimum Amor Proficiency 3 40 points minimum

Soak Chart

Rules of Magic Spells Spells are the end result of a caster’s extreme will and command over the flows of magic. The style in which a spell is cast is dependent on the class of the caster and the concept behind their magic. For example, the Wizard class has precise formulas, whereas a Mesmer has a more natural affinity that is closely connected to their strength of personality. Whatever the origin or style, spells are tools for any caster.

To cast a spell, one must first possess Mana. Mana is the measure of the connection a character has to the flows of magic in the world. The more Mana a character possesses the more spells that character may cast. However, when a caster depletes their reservoir of Mana, also commonly known as their Mana Pool, they can no longer cast spells. If a caster attempts to cast a spell, this spell is known as “Overdraw”. Overdraw is where the caster draws power from their very life to cast one last spell. The consequences of this casting, is that the caster will immediately drop into the critical stage of the Death Count. Note: A character may only receive a life effect once an event – please see section on Life & Death.

Once the caster has Mana to spend, they must call forth the spell by loudly calling the spell’s incant. To be valid, the incant must be as loud as normal speaking volume, and the target must be able to hear the spell being cast. Once you have said the incant of the spell and the spell’s name, you must throw the spell packet at the target. If the spell packet misses the target, no effect is taken by the target, but Mana is still spent from casting of the spell. The spell packet is considered a hit on anything attached to the target including capes, clothing, shields, and weapons.

If a caster is hit for any damage during the casting of a spell, the spell will fail. This is unless the caster is wearing armor, then once the armor is bypassed will the spell then fail. Casters may defend themselves while casting.

If a spell does damage in its description, the damage a spell will do is normal damage unless otherwise stated. The highest level damaging spell in the list of the class is considered their tier damage spell. This spell will deal “magic” damage to the target.

Spells must be learned in order and in columns. In order to get a 2nd rank spell you must first learn a 1st rank spell. If you want to learn a second 2nd rank spell, you must also learn a second 1st rank spell

All Spells or Effects that deal numeric damage or healing must include the amount of dealt at the end of the call or incant. If it is normal spell damage, only the number need be said. If it deals a special damage flavor that is not listed in the spell name, then the damage flavor must be called as well.

Rituals Rituals are spells of longer durations, or greater utility than a normal spell. These rituals take longer to cast and are encouraged to be customized by each player for individual castings. The term "ritual” is intended to include rituals, sacraments, and some other special skills that are specified as belonging to this group. Unless otherwise specified, casting rituals requires that the character is able to fulfill all of the same requirements of spell casting. This means the character must be able to read and write, speak, move freely, think clearly, and the character must not be interrupted during the casting of the ritual with damage or another effect that would cause interruption.

Rituals often have additional requirements beyond the normal requirements for spells. Unless otherwise specified, all ritual abilities require one minute per rank of the ritual to cast. Most rituals require one mana per rank of the ritual to cast. In addition, rank one, two, and three rituals will require one vigor and essence, rank four and five rituals will require two vigor and essence. Essence costs paid for rituals are considered aggravated unless otherwise specified. Some rituals may require different costs, but in these cases, the description of that

skill will specify what should be spent instead of these standard costs.

Instead of a simple verbal component or packet, any appropriate words or actions can be used to cast a ritual. Players should have their characters role-play the casting of rituals. At least some words must be spoken at normal volume during the casting, and some other motions must be made. If an offensive effect is delivered, it must be by packet as per spell casting rules unless otherwise specified. If rituals require additional components like physical markers, make up, or in-game props to be complete, these must all be present and in place before the ritual will have any in-game effect. When characters have rituals cast on them, they should note the name of the ritual, the effects, the caster of the ritual, the time the ritual was cast, and the duration of the ritual on the back of their character cards. When a ritual is cast on an object, a card or note with this information should be kept with the item and item card. When a ritual is cast in a location, this information should be written down and attached to or next to the area notes

Rituals take 1 minute per level of the Ritual being cast. There are also additional costs to casting Rituals. Rituals cost Essence, Mana, and Vigor to cast.

To invoke the use of a Ritual granted effect, you must state, “Invoke” and the name of the ritual or effect given by said Ritual. Unless specifically stated in the Ritual’s description, no one may invoke an effect while unconscious or in any kind of sleeping state.

Players are again encouraged to create their own casting methods of their Rituals. The casting methods of all Rituals should be presented to the Rules Committee or a Marshall for validation. The player must also perform their Rituals at least once, to show that they do

understand their own Ritual and casting of the ritual.

Rituals must be learned in order and in columns. In order to get a 2nd rank ritual you must first learn a 1st rank ritual. If you want to learn a second 2nd rank ritual, you must also learn a second 1st rank ritual. In addition, the character must have enough mana, vigor, and essence to cast the ritual without enhancement to be able to learn a ritual.

Scrolls Scrolls are Spells or Rituals that people have scribed to parchment and empowered. Any person, who is literate, may read and cast scrolls, so long as the scroll has Mana or Vigor Tags attached. If the scroll is that of a Ritual, then the Essence cost of the Ritual will be fueled by the reader of the scroll. There must also be enough light to read the scroll to cast from a scroll. Once all uses of the scroll are used, the scroll is destroyed.

Scrolls can be used, unless otherwise stated, to learn the spell or ritual contained on the scroll so long as the player meets all the prerequisites. See Lore Keeper subclass for additional types of scrolls.

Crafting The world of Ya'Ria has a myriad of items from mundane to mythical which may be crafted by the characters. To craft any item the character must obtain the appropriate recipe; these can take many forms from scribbled cooking notes to complex molds. All special needs for the crafting of the item will be listed upon the recipe.

Once the recipe and materials have been obtained, the proper workstation to craft the goods must be obtained to finalize the work. As a standard, there will be a coin and time cost for the most mundane of items, while the most

impressive of creations may require hard to find relics. For all crafting, a staff member must be notified for the first time crafting of a recipe. Advanced recipes will list if a staff member or specific staff member must be present for the production of the item.

Active Effects, Latent Spells, and Stacking No character may keep more than one active or latent spell of the same effect at one time. Therefore, a person may stack negation and resist charm effects, but they may not stack 2 different types of strength enhancing spells. If an active or latent affect is on a person and they are the target of a duplicate affect, it does not take hold, unless the effect is from a higher level spell than what granted the original affect.

Each character is limited to a number of total effects active on their person. These include active and latent effects. All characters are limited to TEN total effects. Equipped items do not count against your total number of effects, equipped items include all enchanted and crafted items.

Baptism Many skills in game are specialized abilities of priestly professions that follow the teachings of a particular god or goddess. The prayers and sacraments of these professions have certain special prerequisites that apply before they can be learned.

When a character learns any prayer or sacrament from one of these professions or buys into the profession, the character gains an “affinity” for the pantheon to which that profession belongs. Characters may never buy into professions or buy skills from professions belonging to pantheons that conflict. There are pantheons that do not necessarily conflict with others.

Characters may only learn spells or rituals of up to the second rank without getting a baptism to the god or goddess to whom the profession belongs.

Once a character is baptized to a god or goddess specified by a particular profession, that character can learn any rank of prayer or sacrament according to normal rules. Player characters can never perform baptisms. These must be performed by plot approved characters. Characters who receive a baptism to a god or goddess gain an affinity to that pantheon even if they have not bought into a profession or learned any skills belonging to that deity’s profession.

In addition to learning skills through traditional means, characters sometimes find ways to learn skills even if they do not belong to a profession. In these cases, assume that a character cannot learn the skills of a pantheon that conflicts with any affinities they have, unless a specific skill or effect states otherwise.

If a character knows a skill but later gains an affinity that conflicts after learning it, then she loses access to this skill as long as she has that affinity. There are also some skills that may require a character to have an affinity before learning any skills of a given pantheon, which will be specified in the skill description.

Characters attempting to use items that grant the use of skills belonging to a particular pantheon may only use those items if they do not have an affinity that conflicts with the type of skill granted by the item. For example, a ring that grants a healing prayer of the light church cannot be used by a member of the dark church, but could be used by a magic user of the (non-conflicting) arcane professions.

Types of Effects This list includes many of the effects and the ways they work, or ways that characters can react to them. Many of these categories of effects encompass skills of a similar nature, which cannot be “stacked,” or added together for compounding effects unless otherwise specified.

Area Effects Area effects occur in one of two ways. First, an effect like a spell or trap may work on multiple targets in a specified area range. These effects are described in game, and usually measured with an easy marker like weapon range from a caster. Area effects cannot be defended against unless a defense specifically allows this. Trap dodge is meant for this purpose, and evade may sometimes work. Total defenses like negation and invulnerability will often work against area effects. Second, effects may apply to anyone within an in game area like a building or room, or in an area that is clearly specified with markers. These effects should be described on “area notes” left in that area, or by a marshal if one is present.

Attunements An attunement is a magical connection between an object and a character. When an object is attuned to a character, it cannot be removed from that character’s presence by any means. The object must remain within arm’s reach of the character at all times. A character may choose to put down or hand off an attuned item unless specified otherwise, but the character loses all benefits of attunement until the item is picked up again. If disarmed, a character must drop an attuned weapon, but it cannot be taken away. Should a character die and become a spirit, the object will enter spirit form with the

character, and if the character is resurrected it will reform with the character.

Break, Sever, Shatter Effects ON BODIES Break effects on body parts like limbs will reduce the limbs effectiveness. Broken arms perform tasks that require time half as fast, and inflict half damage with weapons or claws (round down). One broken leg will cause a character to move slowly, at a heel-to-toe rate. Two broken legs will cause a character to be unable to walk. Players with broken legs should stand in place during combat. Severed limbs are useless. Severed arms cannot perform any tasks, and a character with any severed legs cannot walk or use skills that require mobility (like dodge, evade, etc.). Characters with severed heads cannot receive healing effects. Break or Sever effects will wake someone from waylay.

ON ITEMS Break effects on weapons, shields, and armor will cause these items to be destroyed in game, rendering them useless. Armor that has only lost armor points needs to be repaired, but is not broken and can still be used with skills like soaks. These items cannot be used in combat and grant no benefits. Items that are tempered will resist one break effect at the expense of the tempering.

Channeled Effects Channeled effects are any type of effect that requires continuous maintenance on the part of the character that created the effect. The requirements for maintaining the effect must be continuously performed for the duration of the effect to stay active. If the requirements are not fulfilled at any point during the duration, the duration and effect immediately end.

Imprisonment and Sanctuary Effects Imprisonment and Sanctuary effects encase a character or target in a type of energy in such a way that they are blocked off from the rest of the in-game world. Characters may only be affected by one imprisonment or sanctuary effect at a time.

Mind Effects Some skills in the game are classified as “mind effects,” which indicates that they affect a character’s conscious thoughts in some way. Some defenses (like willpower) or immunities apply only to mind effects, and some creatures that have no sentient thought of their own are unaffected by mind effects. Unless a creature template specifies it is not affected by mind effects, assume that it is. Furthermore, unless a given skill specifies that it is a mind effect, assume that it is not. Defenses against mind effects do not need to be called out loud unless the mind effect skill requires the defense to be called, though a marshal may ask for a clarification.

Movement Effects Movement effects force a target to move in a particular direction, for a given distance, and/or to a particular location by making the target physically move through the space between the points. This type of effect is usually caused by a force that knocks a target back or pulls a target forward. Movement effects will relocate characters under the effects of pins or binds, but after the character is relocated the pin or bind effect continues normally in the new spot.

Over-Time Effects Many effects take place over time. For most effects, a simple duration of the effect is specified as a part of the skill description, and these effects take place continuously for the duration of the skill. In some cases, effects may

be triggered at specified intervals throughout the duration of a skill or effect.

Pins and Binds Pin effects will hold a character’s foot in place on the ground. The character may still pivot, but may not move or lift the foot from that spot on the ground. Bind effects more heavily restrict a character’s movement. Bound characters may not move their arms, which are held in place. Bound characters may still speak and make noise unless a skill specifies otherwise. Unless a skill specifies otherwise, the use of +2 strength will break any pin or bind effect. Characters may only be affected by one pin or bind effect at a time.

Pool Effects There are three types of effects that can increase a character’s mana, vigor, or essence pools.

The first is a healing or damage effect, which will restore points to or subtract points from the appropriate pool, though most healing effects will not raise a character’s pool above her maximum cap unless otherwise specified. The second is a temporary increasing effect, which will add an amount to a character’s pool even above her normal cap, but once the additional points are gone they cannot be restored unless a new temporary effect is granted. The third is a healable increasing effect, which raises the characters maximum cap in that pool and allows effects like healing effects to restore points to the pool including these additional points if spent. Most healing effects are instant. Characters may only be affected by one temporary effect for each pool at a time. Characters may also be affected by only one healable effect for each pool at a time.

Sleep There are two types of sleep in the game. Natural sleep means any time a character is sleeping in-game because the player of that character is actually asleep out-of-game. A character is only woken up from natural sleep when a player is also successfully woken up from sleeping. Magical sleep is created through the use of in-game effects, and a character can be sleeping due to a magical effect even if the player is not asleep. The player must role play sleeping, and the character is not aware of anything happening in her physical environment while magically asleep. Generally, characters can be woken from magical sleep through loud noises or damage, though some skills may prevent this as described by the skill or effect. Sleep effects are not necessarily considered mind effects unless a skill specifies that it is a mind effect. Characters may only be affected by one sleep effect at a time.

Stances Stances are effects that allow a character to assume a particular style of combat or tactics. Each stance grants unique benefits depending on the type of situation in which it is employed. Stances will specify their benefits for each individual stance skill. Characters may only assume one stance at a time.

Stealth Effects Stealth effects cause a character to blend into the surroundings of an area, usually into the shadows. Characters under a stealth effect cannot be specifically identified, though characters can tell there is someone or something in the area. Characters under stealth effects can only be targeted by skills that penetrate stealth, or that will specifically end that stealth effect. Stealth effects are indicated by green headbands. Characters may only be affected by one stealth effect at a time.

Stun A stunned character cannot take any offensive action in combat, nor can the character use any skills in a defensive manner. The stunned character may defend them self, but not use any skills that take mana or vigor. Stunned characters may invoke latent defenses. Most stun effects end if a character takes any kind of damage. Characters may only be affected by one stun effect at a time.

Surprise Effects Effects delivered from surprise are rare. These effects must actually take effect on a target when the target is not expecting the effect. An unconscious character is always considered surprised. Surprise effects cannot be defended against with active defenses unless they specifically specify they can be used against surprise. Latent defenses may only be invoked if they would successfully stop the surprise attack. Latent effects that invoke automatically will still trigger on a surprise attack. Once a person has been the target of a surprise attack, they cannot be surprised again for the next minute.

Teleportation Effects Teleportation effects cause a target to travel from one location to another without traversing the physical space between the two points. Instead, the target moves out of game between the two points, seeming to disappear from the point of origin and appear at the destination. This takes as much time in game as it takes the target to move out of game. Characters moving with teleportation effects must wear a white headband while traveling between the two points.

Unconsciousness A character can be rendered unconscious in a number of ways. The most common form of unconsciousness takes place when a character

suffers more damage than her essence total. While dying a character is unconscious unless an effect would somehow prevent this. Characters can also be knocked unconscious for a time without taking damage through certain skills, like waylay. While unconscious, a character cannot use any skills and is completely unaware of things happening in her in-game surroundings. Characters may only be rendered unconscious by one effect at a time, though unconsciousness due to damage is not considered an effect.

Wards Wards are a special type of area effect that causes an effect on all targets present within the ward’s area at any time during its duration. Alternatively, a ward may simply prevent any target that does not satisfy certain prerequisites from entering the specified area at all. Wards may be placed on a particular room or small, open structure. Alternatively, wards can be established an open or outdoor area (10’x10’ unless otherwise specified). For a room, note and a lit marking must be placed at each door to the room to show that there is a ward. Outdoors a marker and lighting must clearly denote the full area affected. The ward can be raised and lowered with a password set by the caster. The password must be kept on the closed section of the area notes.

Life and Death Essence

Essence Chart

Additional essence can be purchased at any time. It is considered a self-taught skill. The cost to buy additional essence is dictated by your PRIMARY class and can be found on the class skill list.

When your total essence reaches 0 or less you fall unconscious and at least one knee must touch the ground and all weapons must be dropped to the ground. If left unconscious at 0 for one minute, you regain 1 essence. ( Note that unconsciousness induced by a waylay attack does not bring the target’s essence to 0.) If you are attempting to feign death, you may only do so by falling down and may not do so while taking a knee. You may go down on one knee and then fall over but you may not stay kneeling. If a damaging attack would drop you below 0 essence, your essence total drops to -1 and the death count begins. Your essence cannot be dropped below -1 Essence unless a specific spell or effect forces it below -1.

Death Count At this point you must begin what is known as a death count. The death count is broken up into two stages. The first lasts for 2 minutes and the second lasts 4 minutes.

The first stage of the death count is considered the noncritical stage. During this time, you can be healed by any means – alchemical, magical, or practical that exists in game.

The second stage of the death count is referred to as the critical stage. During this time, only a life type effect can save you. You may only receive ONE Magical, Physical, and Alchemical

life giving effect every event, so travel with caution.

Please keep in mind that a person may be forced to the second stage of their death count if a killing blow has been performed. A killing blow is done by being in contact with your target and saying, “killing blow 1, killing blow 2, killing blow 3,” followed by the weapon’s damage call. Also a person may not be affected by a revive type skill unless their head is attached to their body.

Dead At the end of your second stage of your death count the character is considered dead. You may remain with your body as long as you wish. However, when your spirit leaves your body, it will turn to ash and at that time you must put on a red headband and drop all of your in game items. A character wearing a red headband is considered to be a spirit and can only be seen by player character with the see spirit skill. The dead body left behind dematerializes and no longer exists in the game world. Spirits can wander aimlessly as long as they wish, though once revived will remember nothing of their experiences. When ready, the spirit should find its way to a director or to game logistics where a director will record the death and issue a new life tag provided the player is able to be resurrected. Players who suffer a death will retain full memory of all events leading up to their death unless other precautions take place. The most common method for resurrection is a visit to the local resurrection stone. This is a magical site located somewhere within the camp. Once the spirit finds its way to the site, resurrection is immediate. Players may also choose to be resurrected by another player. In this case, the time to resurrect is dictated by the actual spell used. Please note no player can be forced to resurrect.

Permanent Death “The only truth of Ya’Ria is every one must face The Reliquary, Rakus' judge of the underworld.”

If the player is unable to be resurrected, then it is time to create a new persona.

Character Creation Step One: Determine Starting Build All new players begin the game with a total of 30 build to spend in whichever way they choose. Players who come from other gaming systems start with 35. Players may purchase an additional ten build for 50 dollars. This build may be used at character creation. Players may purchase this build at any time during their characters lifespan. This build may only be bought once per character.

Step Two: Choose a Race There are many racial options. Racial skills can be purchased from the various racial skill lists. Please refer to the Races section of the role book for further information. All races begin the game with a unique “free” racial ability. This ability costs no build to purchase. Players may choose to purchase up to three additional racial skills.

Step Three: Choose a Class Players may choose to start with any of the primary classes. Please see the class section of the rulebook for more information. This class costs no build to purchase. Additional classes can be purchased using the rules for multi-classing. The cost to buy abilities is listed in the skill set of each class. Please keep in mind the rules for spell advancement when purchasing spells.

Step Four: Choose a Subclass (if desired) Sovereign Scrolls offers a unique class type known as a subclass. Subclasses are open to all players and can be purchased at any time. Note that players can only have two subclasses per character. There may be “hidden” subclasses that are not listed in the rulebook. These subclasses can only be discovered in-game so plan accordingly.

Step Five: Flesh out your Character There is more to your character than numbers and statistics.

Players should also take time to create a unique story for their character. What drives her? What are her fears hopes and flaws? Why did He/she come to Freedom's March? Or perhaps she an outcast with nowhere else to turn; the choice is yours. The more elaborate your character, the more rewarding your experience at Sovereign Scrolls will be.

Multi-Classing A player may decide that one class or sub-class is not enough. In these cases, a player may decide to purchase a second or even a third class. The following rules apply to multi-classed characters.

Additional class classes may be purchased at a cost of 5 build each. Skills on the second or third class will cost +2 build over the list cost to purchase. Fourth or Fifth classes will cost +3 build over the original list cost per skill. Additionally, sub-classes may be purchased. A character may only have 2 subclasses.

Note that once you have taken a class that has a divine connection to a specific pantheon of gods, you may not multiclass into any class that affiliated with another pantheon. The pantheons are as follows:

Old god classes Fel Knight, Dead Caller, and Mesmer

New god classes Paladin and Healer

Nature god classes Druid

Character Cards and Tags Your character card is a map of your character. It lists all the skills that your character knows as well as the total amount of essence, vigor and Mana he/she has at full. Character Cards must be carried at all times.

A tag ring allows the character to keep track of how much essence, Mana and vigor they possess at any given time. Each time a spell is cast or skill used a player must remove those tags from their ring. The more time you’ve purchased to play – the more tag rings you will have and thus the more abilities you will be able to use in the game.

Upon check in players will receive as many tag rings as purchased, with a maximum of three. The player may only use the tags from one ring at a given time. When a person wants to replenish his tags, the player may choose to visit the Mana font in order to access the Mana and vigor on his next tag ring. A player then loses whatever tags were left on the previous ring. This allows players to freely use their abilities as they wish throughout the weekend. But be warned, a spell caster with no Mana on Saturday night will be a very sad spell caster! Plan accordingly.

Any skill that is learned at an event must be noted on the card so that the card may be updated properly. A player has not learned a skill until it is marked on the card and signed off by a teacher. At the end of the event, both the

character card and tag rings must be handed in to Logistics.

Life Tag This tag shows that your character is alive. If a player is killed, they must present their life tag to a marshal to be updated with the death. Should a player lose their permanent life tag may get a new life tag issued at logistics for $5.

Armor Tag These tags represent the amount of protection that a person’s armor gives them in its current state. These tags do not represent any soaks that are given by the armor. All armor tags must be filled out and signed by an approved armor marshal.

Mana and Vigor Tags These tags represent how much energy a person possesses. Every time a spell or skill is used, the player must deduct the points spent from their tag ring. Also, if a player bestows a latent effect on someone they must write the effect on the back of their character card with the time cast and duration.

Bard Spell Chart

Evaluate Item • 4 Build

This skill allows the Bard to accurately evaluate the value of items such as gems. These items are identifiable by the code that they will possess and the player will be given the information to decode the values of the items.

Florentine • Requires One Handed Weaponry • 3 Build

Many Bards find it beneficial to wield two weapons at a time. This ability allows exactly that. Florentine allows the wielder to use both a

1-handed size and a small weapon at the same time. They may use both weapons in both an offensive and defensive manner.

Florentine Master • Requires Florentine • 4 Build

Once the Bard has mastered the skills of fighting with a 1 handed weapon and a small weapon, they may move on to fighting with a pair of one-handed weapons. These weapons may be used both offensively and defensively.

Florentine Proficiency I, II • Requires Equal Weapon Proficiency • 4, 5 Build

This skill will allow the Bard to wield a weapon in his second hand for 1 extra point of damage. The available weapons are small and one-handed.

Literacy • 2 Build

This skill grants a character to the ability to read and write the common language.

Mana Mana is the power that every character possesses that may be used to cast spells. The amount of Mana a person possesses determines the size of that character’s power pool. The cost of Mana rises as the player’s power pool grows. Mana cost increases as follows:

• (1 – 50) 1 build each • (51 – 100) 2 build each

Meditate • 4 Build

This skill allows for the caster to spend 5 minutes in deep concentration, during which the caster may use no in game skills. Any disruption, including talking, voids this skill use and it must be restarted. Upon completing meditation, the caster regains the Mana of all spells that missed within the last half hour.

Missile Master • 4 Build

Training in this art will allow the Bard the ability to use any ranged weapon. From bow, to crossbow, to throwing axes, to even the simplest stones this training covers it all.

One-Handed Weaponry • 3 Build

This skill will allow the Bard to use any one-handed weapons. This will not allow the use of Bastard weapons such as Bastard Swords and Spears.

Performer • Requires Plot Approval (Audition) • 5 Build

Inspiration is the Bard’s greatest achievement, but first he must learn how to share this great gift for others to enjoy. This skill is the first that a Bard must learn so he may entertain and soothe others. The performance given by the Bard may be any type of performance that entertains. Any talent the Bard wishes to use as a performance must be approved by the Bard’s Guild and Rules Marshals. A performance must target an audience of two or more people and the points expended from the Bard’s pools are based upon the audience size, not the number receiving benefit from the Performance. This skill also gives the Bard a starting 10 points in either Vigor Pool or Mana Pool, or 50 points in Essence Pool.

These points do not count towards build costs when buying points from the pools.

Pick Pocket • Requires Conceal Item • 6 Build

What easier way to obtain wealth, than to just let someone else do all the work and let it fall out of their pocket and into yours? This skill allows just that. Using a black clothespin to mark the pouch or pocket picked, the Bard can steal an item from it. The clothespin must remain in place for at least 15 seconds for the pick to be successful. At that time, the Bard may send someone out of game to request an item from the target. The Bard may specify a general type of item (i.e. Coin, gem, ring, and vial) but if it is not available, a random item was pilfered.

Teach • Requires Plot Approval • 0 Build

This ability will allow a person to teach any skill that they know. Higher skills and lists as well as hidden subclasses cannot be taught. A player with this ability may teach a class, however, such things as Baptisms, creation of Mystic crystals etc., are skills that reside on hidden or higher lists and cannot be bestowed or created. Lost lore can be taught once learned. To learn this skill, the Bard must be approved by plot and be knowledgeable in the rules for Bard.

Utilize Component • 3 Build

Scattered throughout the land are various magical herbs and plants. These can be harvested by any character. The most common type of nodes contains support components, which take the place of Mana and Vigor. To use a component, a character with this skill must spend one minute per point to absorb the Mana

or Vigor from component. Afterwards, the player need simply add the component tags to his or her tag ring. These tags can be traded between players, however all components without an expiration date wither at the end of a standard weekend.

Vigor Vigor is a measure of physical action that a player can make before becoming tired. It can be sometimes used to aide in rituals. Vigor costs increase as the pool grows.

• (1 – 50) 1 Build each • (51 – 100) 2 Build each

Weapon Proficiency I, II • Requires Weapon Skill • 10, 12 Build

This skill will allow the Bard to wield his weapon for 1 extra point of damage. Each purchase of this skill will add 1 point to a certain type of weapon. The available types of weapons are small weapons, 1-handed weapons, 2 handed weapons, and ranged. The build cost is for each type of weapon. If the Bard were using a bastard weapon, the proficiencies in the style they are using it in (1 or 2 handed) would apply. The build cost progression is for each type of weapon.

Bard Vigor Skills Block

• Requires Weapon or Shield Skill • 3 Build • 3 Vigor

This skill will stop any one physical strike that hits the player that is not delivered from behind. This skill may be used in conjunction with a weapon.

Bypass Armor • Requires Weapon Proficiency I • 3 Build

• 2 Vigor

This strike will allow a Bard to find their target’s weakness in their armor and strike for essence damage for one strike. This skill may not be used in conjunction with any damage enhancing effects.

Conceal Item • 3 Build • 1 Vigor

Using this skill, a Bard can hide an item being searched for. It will delay an item from being found for 1 minute. This will only work for an item of fist size or smaller while on the Bard’s body. A detect magic on a magic item will break the concealment. This skill may be used in succession to maintain concealment.

Disarm • Requires Weapon Proficiency I • 2 Build • 2 Vigor

There is no better way to make sure you win a battle then to make sure that your enemy’s weapon is on the ground. To this end, Bards found ways to relieve a foe of their weapon in combat. By striking the arm that holds the weapon, they are able to knock the weapon to the ground. The target of this skill that just lost his weapon must drop it to the ground in front of him. If the target is wielding a two-handed weapon, this will cause the target to remove that hand for 5 seconds.

Dodge • Requires Escape Bonds • 5 Build • 4 Vigor

Bards have a combination of things working in their favor when trying to avoid the effects of an attack. Call it nimbleness, a sixth sense for danger, or a highly developed sense of

cowardice; most Bards have a knack of getting out of the way of danger in just the right moment. If any attack is delivered to anywhere but the back of the Bard, they may use this skill to avoid it altogether. The person delivering the attack will still expend all appropriate points. This may not be used on a trap.

Escape Bonds • Requires Conceal Item • 2 Build • 1 Vigor

Every once in a while a Bard will find himself in the position of having been captured and constrained with physical bonds. This skill will allow them to escape these bonds and go on their merry way.

Escape Magical Bonds • Requires Escape Bonds • 3 Build • 2 Vigor

This skill will allow the Bard to escape binding effects as well as magical constraints. This will not allow escape from the spell imprisonment

Pick Locks • Requires Conceal Item • 1, 2, 2, 3, 3 Build • 1 Vigor per rank of the lock

Locks come in many types and complexities. Each rank of this skill allows the Bard to open a lock of a slightly more complex nature. When a Bard sits to open a lock, they determine the rank that they believe it to be and spend an amount of vigor equal to that rank. After 15 seconds per rank that they chose they may then check the marshal notes for the actual rank of the lock. If the lock was equal or lower in rank than what they chose, the lock opens. If not, it remains closed. At times, it may be possible for a second Bard or Rogue to assist opening an extremely

complex lock. Another Bard or Rogue with the Pick Locks skill (min rank 1) may increase the skill of the Bard attempting to open a lock. To do this, they each must spend the amount of vigor equal to the rank that they guess. With the two working together, this guessed number may be up to 1 rank higher than the primary Bard. A Bard can attempt to naturally pick any lock for 1vigor. While picking a lock a Bard will gain knowledge of the rank.

Retain • Requires Weapon Proficiency • 3 Build • 1 Vigor

This ability allows a Bard to hold onto the only thing keeping them alive when an effect attempts to disarm them. This will stop both physical and magical effects that would cause a rogue to drop their weapon. However, this will not stop or allow a hold to be called if a Bard drops their weapon or is naturally disarmed (not using a skill or spell).

Stun • Requires Weapon Skill • 3 Build • 2 Vigor

Striking the enemy in just the right part of the tunic area will daze them just long enough for an extra attack or two. By striking the target in the tunic area, they will become stunned for 5 seconds. During this time they may not attack, call defensive skills, however they may defend normally. Any successful attack will break this effect. Any active abilities will continue as normal. This blow must be landed in the tunic area.

Bard Performance Skills Purchasing a second Performance skill reduces the performance time from 30 to 20 seconds. A

third performance skill will reduce that time even further to only 10 seconds.

DeadCaller Rakus’ disciples are known for death magic and raising undead to do their bidding. Their affinity with the dead allows some Dead Callers able to see and communicate with spirits, which is sometimes misinterpreted as the Dead caller speaking to themselves.

Rakus is the eldest of the Gods of Ya'Ria. He was created by the fear all creatures have of life's end. He was tricked into giving heroes multiple chances at life by his sibling Syndiliss. The terms of their bet have never been told, but Syndiliss has been barred from the NetherRealm ever since. Rakus cannot walk the world as his very

touch corrupts Ya'Ria. He allows spirits to be pulled from the NetherRealm by dead callers. This maintains the fear that he thrives on. He does not condone the creation of permanent undead as those souls slip his judgment.

Druid Druids are caretakers of nature and masters of the elements. By being at balance with the base elements of creation, the Druid can will them into helping his allies or striking out against his foes. These followers of the nature gods, Codladh and Titem, can be as much a force of creation as they are for destruction.

Codladh was the first of the Younger Gods. Peaceful, serene, beautiful, Codladh loved any and all he saw. He was attacked by Haun-Taurus and had no defense. He was struck down and in that moment he changed. His temper rose and The youngest of the Elder Gods was born, the Goddess Titem. She truly loved her other half but their love was doomed for as one turned to the other they could never meet. They removed themselves from the other pantheons and set themselves up as a neutral third party. Syndiliss and Esmara went to Arcainium on their behalf asking if there was anything that could be done to bring them together and Arcainium created rainbows. Rainbows connected the power of the storm with the beauty of nature and created a home for Codladh and Titem.

Even after a piece of armor is beaten to a pulp, it still protects the wearer, if they have the skill to use it. If the armor that the Druid is wearing totals 10 points or more (before modification for Armor Efficiency or magical enhancements) that armor will always provide an added effect of 1 points LESS damage. No matter what a person is swinging, the Druid will always take 1 point of damage, no matter their soak. This means if a

person were hit for 6 points of damage, they would take 5 points of damage.

Ley lines, pools of magic, and the energy of all living things is theirs for the grasping. If the Wizard is an engineer, then the Evoker is an artist. They intuitively channel magic to create the effects they want. But to

Fel Knight Rituals • Requires Literacy • 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 Build

This represents the ability of the Fel Knight to cast ritual type spells. Rituals require an amount of Mana equal to the rank of the ritual. All rank 1-3 rituals also require 1 Essence and 1 Vigor from the caster. All rank 4 and 5 rituals require 2 Essence and 2 Vigor.

This is the representation of the Fel Knight’s ability to learn and cast spells. For each purchase of this skill, the Fel Knight learns one spell of the rank purchased. The cost of the spells is Rank of the spell +1 in Build.

Florentine • Requires a Weapon Skill • 3 Build

Many Fel Knights find it beneficial to wield multiple weapons at a time. This ability allows exactly that. Florentine allows the wielder to use both a one-handed size and a small weapon at the same time. They may use both weapons in both an offensive and defensive manner.


Once the Fel Knight has mastered the skills of fighting with a 1 handed weapon and a small weapon, they may move on to fighting with a pair of one-handed weapons. These weapons may be used both offensively and defensively.

Florentine Grand Master • Requires Master Florentine • 5 Build

A skilled Fel Knight may want to keep his enemy guessing. A good way of doing that is to use several weapons that normally fit together. Be it fighting with a halberd and dagger or a pair of bastard maces, this skill allows the Fel Knight to do it. Unfortunately even the most skilled warriors cannot wield the larger weapons in such a way to do damage with one hand, thus only weapons that can be wielded one-handed may strike for damage.

Florentine Proficiency I, II, III, IV • Requires Equal number of profs in main

hand • 4, 5, 6, 7 Build

This skill will allow the Fel Knight to wield a weapon in his second hand for 1 extra point of damage. The available weapons are small, One-Handed, or Bastard.


This skill will allow the Fel Knight to read and write the common language.



Stamina • 3 Build

Training to endure pain will allow the Fel Knight to take a bit of extra damage. This training will grant the Fel Knight 5 extra Essence points.

This skill may only be purchased if Fel Knight is your first (primary) class.


This ability will allow a person to teach any skill that they know. Higher skills and lists as well as hidden subclasses cannot be taught. A player with this ability may teach a class, however, such things as Baptisms, creation of Mystic crystals etc., are skills that reside on hidden or higher lists and cannot be bestowed or created. Lost lore can be taught once learned. To learn this skill, the Fel Knight must be approved by plot and be knowledgeable in his/her class.





Weapon Proficiency I, II, III, IV • Requires Any Weapon Skill • 10, 12, 14, 16 Build

This skill will allow the Fel Knight to wield his weapon for 1 extra point of damage. Each purchase of this skill will add 1 point to a certain type of weapon. The available types of weapons are small weapon, 1-handed weapon, 2-handed weapon or ranged weapon. If the Fel Knight were using a bastard weapon, the proficiencies in the style they are using it in (1 or 2 handed) would apply. The build cost progression is for each type of weapon.

Fel Knight Vigor Skills Break Limb

• Requires Stun • 4 Build

• 3 Vigor

This skill will allow the Fel Knight to break a target’s limb. If struck on an arm with this skill, that arm will now strike for half damage rounded down with a weapon. If a target is struck in the leg with this skill, the target may only move at a walking pace.

Break Shield • Requires Break Weapon • 6 Build • 4 Vigor

By finding the proper weakness in a shield, the Fel Knight may cleave it into pieces. Once the Fel Knight strikes the shield using this ability, the target must drop their now useless shield. Some shields might be immune to this effect due to other in game effects.

Break Weapon • Requires Weapon Proficiency • 4 Build • 4 Vigor

Like shields, every weapon has a weak point. By finding and exploiting that point, a Fel Knight can shatter even the mightiest of weapons. This is done by striking the target’s weapon and invoking this ability. Some weapons are immune to this effect due to materials they are made of or enchantments placed upon them.

Bypass Armor • Requires Backstab, Critical Strike • 3 Build • 2 Vigor

This strike will allow a Fel Knight to find their target’s weakness in their armor and strike for essence damage for one strike. This skill may not be used in conjunction with any damage enhancing effects.

Critical Strike • Requires Weapon Proficiency • 3 Build • 3 Vigor

When in the heat of battle it sometimes becomes apparent that there is an opening for a powerful attack. By exploiting this opening the Fel Knight can inflict twice the damage that he would normally. By striking the tunic area, the Fel Knight may then call Crit “X” damage, where “X” is twice the amount of damage that they would normally deal. No temporary damage additions will be doubled with the use of this skill, the bonus is added after the multiplier. This blow must be landed in the tunic area.

Disarm • Requires Weapon Proficiency • 2 Build • 2 Vigor

There is no better way to make sure you win a battle then to make sure that your enemy’s weapon is on the ground. To this end, Fel Knight’s long ago found ways to relieve a foe of their weapon in combat. By striking the arm that holds the weapon, they are able to knock the weapon to the ground. The target of this skill that just lost his weapon must drop it to the ground in front of him. The weapon affected by this skill cannot be picked up for 5 seconds. If the target is using a two-handed weapon, they must take the struck hand off for 5 seconds.

Interrogate • 5 Build • 1 Vigor

A Fel Knight can use various means to persuade a target to tell him what they want. After 1 minute, the mark must truthfully answer any one yes/no question. This is a Mind effect.



Retain • Requires Weapon Proficiency • 3 Build • 1 Vigor

As was found when the first Fel Knight learned the art of Disarm, the fastest way to find an early death was to drop your weapon. This ability allows a Fel Knight to hold onto the only thing keeping them alive when an effect attempts to disarm them. This will stop both physical and magical effects that would cause a warrior to drop their weapon. However, this will not stop or allow a hold to be called if a Fel Knight drops their weapon or is naturally disarmed (not using a skill or spell).

Sever Limb • Requires Break Limb • 6 Build • 5 Vigor

The only thing a Fel Knight thinks is better than an opponent with a limp limb at their side causing them agony, or a leg that is so shattered that it cannot support their weight is seeing that limb lying on the ground in front of them. A bit more difficult to heal, cutting a limb off is a powerful tool for the Fel Knight to use on his enemy. Cutting off a limb is also a useful tactic for getting the item out of their hand. This skill is used by hitting the limb and calling “Sever

Limb”. If an arm is cut off using this skill, the target must drop any possessions in that hand at their feet.

Stun • Requires Any Weapon Skill • 3 Build • 2 Vigor

Striking the enemy in just the right part of the tunic area will daze them just long enough for an extra attack or two. By striking the target in the tunic area, they will become stunned for 5 seconds. During this time they may not attack, or use any skills, however they may invoke latent defenses. 1 point of damage or any offensive action will break this effect. Any active abilities will continue as normal. This blow must be landed in the tunic area.

Waylay • Requires Backstab • 5 Build • 4 Vigor

Sometimes it is not the purpose of a Fel Knight to kill their mark, just relieve them of some of that heavy extra loot they are carrying around. By striking their target in just the right part of the neck with a weapon they are able to knock them unconscious. Hitting the target between the shoulder blades represents this strike. After being affected by this attack, they will remain unconscious for 5 minutes. A person can be awoken from this unconsciousness by taking a total of at least 15 points of damage from any source, or having a limb broken or severed. If a killing blow is delivered during this time, the killing effect will not work, but the damage still takes effect. A person wearing a helm and neck protection constructed of at least chain will not be affected by this attack. This is a surprise attack. Once a person has been the target of a

surprise attack, they cannot be surprised again for the next minute.

Withdraw Power • Requires 1st Rank Fel Knight Ritual • 4 Build • 2 Vigor

This skill allows Fel Knight to recover Mana from a spell that was not landed.

Fel Knight Spells Weapon Casting All Fel Knight’s Spells are weapon cast. This means that no spell packet is used but the Spell is cast through the weapon. The strike of the weapon must make contact with the target’s body or armor for the Spell to take effect. Once the verbal and Spell name have been said, the Fel Knight will have 5 seconds to land the Spell. During this 5 second interval, a Fel Knight may strike for damage or use a vigor skill while the Spell is being held. Any damage received while casting the Spell will interrupt the Spell, however damage received after the Spell is cast but before the Spell is delivered will not interrupt the casting of the Spell. Block, parry, and negation effects will stop a Fel Knight’s Spells.

Paladin Long ago the light of the world shone bright. These stalwart soldiers of the god of light were forced into hiding when the land was lost to the corruption of the Arch-Prelate. Though in seclusion, the Paladins spend their lives dedicated to protecting the weak and the helpless. Bonded by oath and measure, these fierce warriors are often found traveling the lands with like-minded adventurers.

Because their beliefs are forbidden, followers of the light are often forced to hide their true nature. Paladins are no exception, relying on their martial skills and fighting against the darkness. Skills and abilities often pass from teacher to student individually, and it is not surprising to find a Paladin indebted as a squire to another more elder warrior of the light.

Vigor Skills Armor Patch

• Requires Armor Proficiency - Light • 5 Build • 2 Vigor

As the Paladin knows how to wear his armor most effectively when it is new, he also knows how to strap it together after the pains of battle. This skill will allow the Paladin to sit for 1 minute in order to arrange and strap what is left of his armor to the most effective configuration. Even if there are no armor points left, this will return 25% of the armor value to the armor. This skill can be used up to 2 times to raise the Paladin’s armor points to 50% of the armor total.

Block • Requires a Weapon Skill or Shield • 3 Build • 3 Vigor


Critical Strike • Requires Weapon Proficiency I • 3 Build • 3 Vigor

When in the heat of battle it sometimes becomes apparent that there is an opening for a powerful attack. By exploiting this opening the Paladin can inflict twice the normal wound that he would normally. By striking the tunic area, the Paladin may then call Critical “X” damage, where “X” is twice the amount of damage that they would normally deal. No temporary damage additions will be doubled with the use of this skill. This skill does not apply to magical enhancements. This blow must be landed in the tunic area.

Disarm • Requires Weapon Proficiency I • 2 Vigor • 2 Build

There is no better way to make sure you win a battle then to make sure that your enemy’s weapon is on the ground. To this end, Warrior’s long ago found ways to relieve a foe of their weapon in combat. By striking the arm that holds the weapon, they are able to knock the weapon to the ground. The target of this skill that just lost his weapon must drop it to the ground in front of him. This weapon may not be picked up for 5 seconds. If the target is wielding a two-handed weapon, this will cause the target to remove that hand for 5 seconds.

Knockback • Requires Stun • 3 Vigor • 3 Build

Even a great Paladin knows when he’s beaten. That same great Paladin also knows that shoving your enemy your back could quickly bring his life to an end. However, shoving your enemy back 10 feet is much less hazardous. By throwing a bit of extra force into an attack at just the right time the Paladin can drive their opponent back 10 feet. That opponent may promptly resume the attack, but it often gives a lesser Paladin time to tuck tail and run and a greater Paladin a chance to press the charge.. There are a few other neat tricks that some Paladins have found to do with this as well. This skill is used by striking the target in the tunic area or shield with your weapon and calling Knock Back.

Intercede • Requires Block • 3 Build • 2 Vigor

A time comes in every Paladin’s life when they are responsible for someone else’s life. With this training the Paladin is able to put himself in harm’s way to keep his mark safe. As long as he is within weapon reach of the target, the Paladin may use this skill to take the effect of any physical or magical attack that is delivered. The Paladin may then use any defense at his disposal to attempt to prevent taking that effect. This skill must be used for each attack to be stopped. This skill is called after the original attack has been called and landed.


A Paladin can use various means to persuade a target to tell him what they want. After 1 minute, the mark must truthfully answer any one yes/no question. This is a Mind effect.

Parry • Requires Block


This skill will stop any one physical strike that hits the player that is not a surprise attack. Parry will stop blows that are delivered from the front or behind. This skill may be used in conjunction with a weapon or shield.

Retain • Requires Weapon Proficiency I • 3 Build • 1 Vigor

As was found when the first Warrior learned the art of Disarm, the fastest way to find an early death was to drop your weapon. This ability allows a Paladin to hold onto the only thing keeping them alive when an effect attempts to disarm them. This will stop both physical and magical effects that would cause a warrior to drop their weapon. However, this will not stop or allow a hold to be called if a Paladin drops their weapon or is naturally disarmed (not using a skill or spell).

Stun • Requires a Weapon Skill • 3 Build • 2 Vigor

Striking the enemy in just the right part of the tunic area will daze them just long enough for an extra attack or two. By striking the target in the tunic area, they will become stunned for 5 seconds. During this time they may not attack, block, or use any skills, however they may invoke latent defenses. 1 point of damage or any offensive action will break this effect. Any active abilities will continue as normal. This blow must be landed in the tunic area.

Disarm • Requires Stun • 2 Build • 2 Vigor

There is no better way to make sure you win a battle then to make sure that your enemy’s weapon is on the ground. To this end, Rogue’s long ago found ways to relieve a foe of their weapon in combat. By striking the arm that holds the weapon, they are able to knock the weapon to the ground. The target of this skill that just lost his weapon must drop it to the ground in in from of them.

Dodge • Requires Escape Bonds • 5 Build • 4 Vigor

Rogues have a combination of things working in their favor when trying to avoid the effects of an attack. Call it nimbleness, a sixth sense for danger, or a highly developed sense of cowardice; most Rogues have a knack of getting out of the way of danger in just the right moment. If any attack is delivered to anywhere but the back of the Rogue, they may use this skill to avoid it altogether. The person delivering the attack will still expend all appropriate points. This may not be used against a trap.

Escape Bonds • Requires Conceal Item • 2 Build • 1 Vigor

Every once in a while a Rogue will find himself in the position of having been captured and constrained with physical bonds. This skill will

allow them to escape these bonds and go on their merry way.

Escape Magical Bonds • Requires Escape Bonds • 3 Build • 2 Vigor

This skill will allow the rogue to escape binding effects as well as magical constraints. This will not allow escape from the spell imprisonment.

Evade • Require Dodge • 7 Build • 5 Vigor

Similar to Dodge, this skill is more akin to the sixth sense. Even when being attacked from behind, the Rogue has a gut feeling of how and when to move to avoid an attack from behind. This will even work against surprise attacks. The person delivering the attack will still expend all appropriate points. This may not be used against a trap.

Hamstring • Requires Stun • 3 Build • 2 Vigor

When hit in the leg with this skill the target will only be able to walk at a heel to toe rate for 1 minute.


Finding out what is not meant to be known is a great trait of a Rogue. When all goes well it is as easy as stealing the right piece of parchment. Sometimes however the information that is needed is in someone’s mind. There are rumors that there are means a Dead Caller has of removing the piece of brain to read the

information directly, but most find that a bit distasteful. A Rogue can use various means to persuade a mark to tell him what they want. After 1 minute, the mark must truthfully answer any one yes/no question. This is a Mind Effect.

Master Concealment • Requires Conceal Item • 5 Build • 3 Vigor

Using this skill, a Rogue can hide an item being searched for. It will delay an item from being found for 1 minute. This will only work for an item of fist size. The item can be anywhere in a room. A detect magic on a magic item will break the concealment. If the Rogue is in the room, she can keep this effect active as long as she continues to pay 3 Vigor every minute.

Master Disarm • Requires Disarm • 5 Build • 3 Vigor

More advanced than Disarm, this skill allows an extremely talented Rogue to knock the weapon from his opponent’s hand by striking the weapon instead of their arm. The weapon will still fall to the ground at the target’s feet. This weapon may not be picked up for 5 seconds. If the target is wielding a two-handed weapon, this will cause the target to remove that hand for 5 seconds.

Pick Locks • 1, 1, 2, 2, 3 Build • 1 Vigor per Rank of the Lock

Locks come in many types and complexities. Each rank of this skill allows the Rogue to open a lock of a slightly more complex nature. When a Rogue sits to open a lock, they determine the rank that they believe it to be and spend an amount of Vigor equal to that rank. After 15

seconds per rank that they chose they may then check the marshal notes for the actual rank of the lock. If the lock was equal or lower in rank than what they chose, the lock opens. If not, it remains closed. At times, it may be possible for a second Bard or Rogue to assist opening an extremely complex lock. Another Bard or Rogue with the Pick Locks skill (min rank 1) may increase the skill of the Rogue attempting to open a lock. To do this, they each must spend the amount of vigor equal to the rank that they guess. With the two working together, this guessed number may be up to 1 rank higher than the primary Rogue. A rogue can attempt to naturally pick any lock for 1 Vigor. While picking a lock a Rogue will gain knowledge of the rank. This skill requires the Rogue to have a lock pick phys. Rep.

Quick Search • 3 Build • 1 Vigor

Why spend all of the time to wait for a body to vanish after death, or the mess of searching every possible pocket and orifice? This skill allows the Rogue to find the best parts to hide something and search them quickly. With a 3 count of “Quick Search 1, Quick Search 2, Quick Search 3”, the Rogue can find anything of value on a target. Each concealed item will still take 1 minute per item to find.




This ability allows a Rogue to hold onto the only thing keeping them alive when an effect attempts to disarm them. This will stop both physical and magical effects that would cause a rogue to drop their weapon. However, this will not stop or allow a hold to be called if a Rogue drops their weapon or is naturally disarmed (not using a skill or spell).

Shadow Strike • Requires Waylay • 6 Build • 5 Vigor

When surprising a target it is often opportune to pick a nearly ideal strike, but some make a blade in the dark an art form. If the rogue is able to strike the back of his target, this skill will allow him to do five times the normal damage. All of the weapon’s base damage, and any backstabs that Rogue may know are multiplied. Spell enhancements and proficiencies are factored into the damage. Shadow Strike is not inherently a Surprise attack, but if the target is susceptible to a surprise attack, this attack is considered a surprise attack. An unconscious target is always susceptible to surprise attacks.


Striking the enemy in just the right part of the tunic area will daze them just long enough for an extra attack or two. By striking the target in the tunic area, they will become stunned for 5 seconds. During this time they may not attack, block, or use any skills, however they may invoke latent defenses. 1 point of damage or any

offensive action will break this effect. Any active abilities will continue as normal. This blow must be landed in the tunic area.

Trap Dodge • Requires Dodge • 4 Build • 2 Vigor

Unlike Dodge and Evade, this skill has a lot less to do with sensing an attack. Rather this skill is based on the Rogues knowledge of traps and the way that they work. Even when trying to disarm a trap, the Rogue knows that there is inherent danger, and where it might be coming from. If the Rogue happens to set off a trap, this skill will allow him to avoid any of its effects. This may not always work, a marshal may rule that due to actions of the Rogue, there was no way to dodge the trapping mechanism (example; picking up a massive gem covered in poison would not be able to be dodged since it was the Rogue’s action that directly set off the “trap”).

Trip • Requires Disarm and Hamstring • 6 Build • 5 Vigor

A strike to the legs that forces the target struck to put a knee and both hands to the ground before they can stand.

Use Poison • Requires Conceal Item and Interrogate • 5 Build • 1 Vigor

Alchemists are capable of making so many types of poisons, and any common adventurer can rub a blade poison onto a weapon. It takes someone special to apply any poison onto a weapon and have it work. Using this skill, the Rogue can apply any type of poison to their weapon and use it as a blade poison.

Waylay • Requires Critical Strike • 5 Build • 4 Vigor

Sometimes it is not the purpose of a Rogue to kill their mark, just relieve them of some of that heavy extra loot they are carrying around. By striking their target in just the right part of the neck with a weapon they are able to knock them unconscious. Hitting the target between the shoulder blades represents this strike. After being affected by this attack, they will remain unconscious for 5 minutes. A person can be awoken from this unconsciousness by taking a total of at least 15 points of damage from any source, or having a limb broken or severed. If a killing blow is delivered during this time, the killing effect will not work, but the damage still takes effect. A person wearing a helm and neck protection constructed of at least chain will not be affected by this attack. This is a surprise attack. Once a person has been the target of a surprise attack, they cannot be surprised again for the next minute.

Warrior Heroes, villains, guards, or henchmen, Warriors make up the fighting backbone of the empire. From swashbuckling duelists to heavy dragoons, Warriors all share the same culture: “Live by the sword, and die by the sword.” These brave men and women fight and die every day. Warriors are adventurers questing for gold in dark dungeons and spending that gold in fire-lit taverns. First and foremost this character is a fighter.

Florentine Grand Master • Requires Florentine Master • 5 Build

A skilled Warrior may want to keep his enemy guessing. A good way of doing that is to use several weapons that normally fit together. Be it fighting with a halberd and dagger or a pair of bastard maces, this skill allows the Warrior to do it.

damage. The available weapons are small, or one handed.

Break Weapon • Requires Weapon Proficiency I • 4 Build • 4 Vigor

Like shields, every weapon has a weak point. By finding and exploiting that point, a Warrior can shatter even the mightiest of weapons.

weapon to the ground. The target of this skill that just lost his weapon must drop it to the ground in front of him. This weapon may not be picked up for 5 seconds. If the target is wielding a two-handed weapon, this will cause the target to remove that hand for 5 seconds.

The Warrior may then use any defense at his disposal to attempt to prevent taking that effect. This skill must be used for each attack to be stopped. This skill is called after the original attack has been called and landed.

Knockback • Requires Block and Stun


Even a great Warrior knows when he’s beaten. That same great Warrior also knows that showing your enemy your back could quickly bring his life to an end. However, showing your enemy back 10 feet is much less hazardous. By throwing a bit of extra force into an attack at just the right time the Warrior can drive their opponent back 10 feet.

This ability allows a Warrior to hold onto the only thing keeping them alive when an effect attempts to disarm them. This will stop both physical and magical effects that would cause a warrior to

drop their weapon. However, this will not stop or allow a hold to be called if a Warrior drops their weapon or is naturally disarmed (not using a skill or spell).

Shield Bash • Requires Shield • 4 Build • 3 Vigor

strike will break this effect. At no time may someone bash another player with their shield.


Striking the enemy in just the right part of the tunic area will daze them just long enough for an extra attack or two. By striking the target in the tunic area, they will become stunned for 5 seconds. During this time they may not attack, block, or use any skills, however they may invoke latent defenses. 1 point of damage or any offensive action will break this effect.

Similar to "Point Blank" the arrow must then be dropped and another nocked before the skill can be used again. The arrow will not be able to be retrieved until the end of the combat

Willpower • Requires Block • 5 Build • 3 Vigor

At times there are powers that attempt to gain the favor or control of a powerful Warrior. This ability will allow them to fend off such an attempt and keep their free will. Unlike many other abilities, the Warrior does not need to

make it known that he has used the Willpower ability, simply make note of it and deduct the vigor points from his pool. This will often catch the attacker unaware that their ability did not work as intended. This skill will prevent any one Mind Effect

Warrior Kata Skills Warrior Katas may be performed with only the Warriors and a number of additional people equal to the number of Warriors involved in the Kata.

DEMONBLADE When the Mad God saw he was losing the God War he violated a law set down at the dawn of time. He opened a door to the realm of Demons. No one knows who created these beings of power, but they are beyond evil and in most cases deadly. Throughout time however there have been demons willing to help Arcainium's children.

those Demons who helped us. Inconyu blades are unbreakable and last for two hours. Inconyu blades can be disarmed and will be disenchanted if they are separated from the Demonblade for more than 10 minutes. Demonblades can pass their Inconyu blades to other Demonblades, but the blade will still become disenchanted after being away from its original wielder for more than 10 minutes.

PHYSICIAN Novice Skills

• 4 Build

Medicine The first thing that a physician must learn is the proper difference between things that are good and bad for the body. When it comes to a big piece of metal being shoved between your ribs, it’s easy to tell. But, a vial of liquid is a bit more difficult. This skill allows the physician to tell if a given alchemy is harmful or helpful, but will not allow the physician to know what the alchemy is. The physician’s knowledge of alchemy lets them often garner more useable materials from an alchemically harvestable body or location.

First Aid The ability to tend wounds at any time is a much-needed skill. This skill will allow you to tend a victim’s wounds. The physician must announce the use of this skill by saying: “First Aid 1, First Aid 2, First Aid 3. . .” If they are in the first stage of their death count, this will stop their death count and bring them to 1 essence after 1 minute. If they are in the critical stage there will be no effect and the patient will call “No effect” after 3 seconds.

Stabilize • 1 Vigor / min

While in contact with his patient, the Physician is able to stop their first or critical death count where it is. This can be maintained for as long as the physician stays in contact with the unconscious target. This may not be used on a headless target. A Physician may use another physician skill while maintaining Stabilize on their target, by expending the Vigor for both skills.

Apprentice Skills • 8 Build

Awaken • 2 Vigor

A simple smack isn’t enough, but it’s close. This skill represents the ability to bring someone out of being waylaid or asleep without doing damage.

Bind Wounds • 1 Vigor / min

This skill represents the physician’s ability to bind wounds and heal his patient (could be himself). For every minute a physician tends to that patient, he may heal up to 10 essence

Examination A physician is only as good as his attention to detail. This skill represents a physician’s basic knowledge of the signs of life and death as well as common status effects. The physician must announce the use of this skill by saying: “Examining 1, Examining 2, Examining 3” while role playing examining the object of his attention. At the end of the 3 count, he will know what stage of the death count the object of his attention is in, or whether the object of his attention is alive. This skill can be fooled by the Deadcaller’s Feign Death spell or other like

effects. In addition to this, the physician will also know whether his/her patient is under the effects of a status effect (disease, poison, waylay, sleep, paralysis, undead, etc.) This does not include mind effects such as Charm, Dominate, etc. Finally, if the patient is currently alive, the physician can determine how much of his/her essence has been lost.

Journeyman Skills • 12 Build

Create Poultice • 1 Vigor / Variable

This skill allows the physician to create a poultice that will heal a target for 5 essence for every point of vigor spent creating the poultice. The creation of the poultice requires a bandage phys-rep as well as one minute of time spent for every point of vigor spent creating the poultice. The phys-rep must have the amount of essence healed written onto it as well as the physician’s signature. The phys-rep must be at least a 6 inch by 6 inch square made from any sort of soft paper (i.e. tissues/toilet paper/paper towel/actual bandages). Anyone who has a poultice may apply it to him/herself or someone else with a 30 count. After one use, the poultice is destroyed. The poultice is only usable during the gather that it is created.

Diagnosis After 1 minute of examining a target, the physician can identify the specific disease of a patient (if it is specific and not just a general disease effect). This skill also allows the physician to tell exactly what a given piece of alchemy is in any form, pure or applied.

Set Limb • 2 Vigor

After 1 minute of using this skill the medic can make a broken limb fully functional.

Treat Disease • 2 Vigor

This skill allows the physician to identify and treat a patient’s identified disease. For lesser diseases, this is a 1 minute count at a cost of 2 vigor. For anything more severe than lesser, this skill requires that the physician treats the patient three times at 2 vigor each. Each treatment takes one minute and staves off the effects of the disease for one half hour. When dealing with severe diseases, the physician cannot treat a patient more than once per half hour with this skill. In addition to this, if a patient goes without the additional necessary treatments for more than one half hour past the initial half hour (i.e., one full hour since the last treatment), the patient relapses and the disease treatment must be restarted. A physician can treat him/herself with this skill.

Expert Skills • 16 Build

Cure Poison • 3 Vigor

Once poisoned, it is most common to just ride it out and hope a Healer comes by to help you. Using proper ingredients, physicians have found the means to treat the poison before the duration has run its course. Once treated for 1 minute, the effect of a poison will end and have no further effects on the patient. (Can use on self)

Forensics The physician is a master of anatomy and injury. With this in mind, an expert physician has mastered the many ways a person can be killed. By studying a corpse for ten seconds, the physician can determine the cause of death. By studying the corpse for twenty seconds, the physician can determine the general time of death. By studying the corpse for thirty seconds,

the physician can determine what spell, if any, killed the object of his/her attention. Finally, by studying the corpse for a full minute, the physician can determine an approximate amount of essence the object of his/her attention had.

Preventative Medicine • 3 Vigor

The physician does not merely fix his patients as they get hurt, but he also learns how to prevent his patients from getting hurt in the first place. By spending a 60 count with his patient, a physician can grant his patient +5 healable essence for the next 6 hours. This skill does not stack with other uses of Preventative Medicine. The physician can use this skill on him/herself.

Reattach Limb • 2 Vigor

After using this skill for 1 minute, the physician can reattach a severed limb. The limb will count as broken for 1 hour, after which it will be fully functional. The Set Limb skill may be used before the hour is over.

Master Skills • 20 Build

Master of Anatomy A master level physician is so in tune with the workings of anything with a coherent anatomy that he or she knows precisely where to strike with a small blade. This skill allows the physician to call +1 damage with any dagger-type weapon. In addition, the physician reduces the amount of time it takes to perform any Physician skill that takes 1 minute or longer by half. This will allow skills such as Bind Wounds to heal every 30 seconds.

Reattach Head • 3 Vigor

After using this skill for 1 minute, the physician can reattach a severed head. This skill will not bring them back to life, but will allow the body to be brought back to life with the proper spells or skills. If somehow the patient is still in one of their death counts, this will pause the count where it is.

Resuscitate • 4 Vigor

After using this skill for 1 minute, the physician can bring a patient out of their critical death count, and bring them to 1 Essence.

Tireless Surgeon After spending countless hours in surgery and even more in study, a master level physician has learned to keep going when others would fail. This grants the Physician 15 points of Vigor that may only be used for Physician skills.
