Chronicles is a game of honour, there is no winning, and there is no losing. Play the game to the best of your ability and
do not knowingly cheat or exploit the rules. By doing so you lessen the stories and emotions experienced by yourself and
the other participants.

There are situations in the game and rules where a player is required to touch another player’s shoulder which includes
but is not limited to casting certain spells, assessing conditions, etc. The touch to the shoulder is to help inform the
target player that they are receiving a beneficial effect or ability.

Physical roleplay for the purpose of these rules mechanics is to be conducted only on a target player’s shoulder(s).
Players must ask for consent to touch another player’s shoulder by asking, “Ok to touch?” and consent can be given or
not by replying “yes” or “no.”

If the target player chooses to not give consent, the asking player simply needs to hold out their hand near the target
player and use the ability or effect as normal.

If the target player chooses to give consent, the player may touch their shoulder and use the ability or effect as normal.
At any time, a player may withdraw previously given consent.

There are times during game that a pause needs to occur. This can be due to an injury, medical emergency, narrative
description and so on. At any time, if necessary, a player, NPC or organizer in need of a Game Pause to occur may
initiate a pause by calling out “Red Light”.

At this time everyone present is expected to stand still or take a knee if necessary, until such time that the pause can be
resolved. All ongoing in game counts, combats, effects, etc. are paused, and play is effectively stopped. If any first
aid/organizer/plot is required, call for the appropriate response or send a runner to Plot Camp if necessary.

When the pause is no longer needed, the person who initiated the pause or another appropriate person may resume
game by calling out “Is there any reason for this pause to continue?” If no reason is provided, the person may call out
“Green Light!” At this point the game and all counts, effects, and so on will then resume.

This is the separation of a player and a character as well as the real world and the game world also referred to as in game
and out of game.

In Game (IG) refers to the character’s experience and stimulus which should be responded to in character.
Out of Game (OOG) refers to an action, locations or items which are not part of the game world.

If players need to go OOG, they should ensure minimal interruption of other player's game experience and to keep the
break from game as brief as possible. This should only be done when a player is injured, needs to tend to an OOG
matter, etc. Players should strive to stay IG and always maintain immersion.

Going OOG is represented by holding a hand or weapon to one’s head or by wearing a white headband. If this is
observed, the PC or NPC is considered not present and is to be disregarded until they signal, they are IG by removing
the headband or their hand or weapon from their head. While OOG in IG areas, limit your speaking to asking only
necessary game related or personal care questions. Conversation breaks immersion, and if used excessively, may be met
with disciplinary measures. Should the need arise for a player to leave an IG situation due to the content they are free to
go OOG and leave the area; they will not he faulted but the scenario will continue for the remaining players.

3
OOG areas, such as washroom facilities, or a player’s vehicle or those designated by the organizers are to be used solely
for OOG purposes. Do not use these areas while IG such as escaping to them from an encounter for example.

Beds and sleeping areas are considered OOG for all purposes. Keep your OOG belongings such as medication or
clothing stowed underneath them or nearby. Do not keep any IG items unattended on beds.

Verbals are how PCs and NPCs interact mechanically in game. It is how the information of spells being cast and
weapons dealing damage, amongst other things, is communicated.

Verbals must be understandable when spoken. If a verbal is spoken incorrectly or incoherently the attack or ability
simply does not occur.

If a call is not genuinely heard by a target and they do not respond accordingly, the attack or ability simply does not
occur.

Counts represent periods of time that elapse or actions taken that a character can perform. All counts are completed at 1
count per 1 second. Counts are completed by stating the action and the count number (Example: Counting 1…Counting
2…Counting 3…).

There are two types of counts: involuntary and voluntary:

Involuntary Counts: These counts represent a character experiencing a specific state and are as follows:
Bleeding Count
Dying Count
Sleeping Count
Unconscious Count

Voluntary Counts: These counts represent actions taken by a character and encompass any count described that is not
an involuntary count. Interrupting these counts cause them to end and any effect they were creating ends. Voluntary
counts are interrupted if the character chooses to end the count early or if the following occur to the character:
Receive Body Point damage
Receive a Daze effect
Becomes restrained
Enters their Sleeping, Wounded, Bleeding or Dying state

Tracking counts can become more difficult the longer a count is; other methods of tracking beyond verbally or mentally
are allowed such as hour glasses or analog pocket watches. No digital means of time tracking are permitted such as a
digital watch or smart phone.

4
Props and physical representations (phys-reps) used in game come in all shapes and sizes. Tags are small pieces of paper
that represent that an item exists in the world and holds value. Tags hold all the information a player will need to
determine what an item is and what it provides. All tags require initials, date and approval from an organizer to be used.

There are 2 types of tags used in game: Single and Dynamic.

Single tags are used for any item that does not have multiple states such as resources or consumables. These tags will
display any relevant information for the item and the amount the tag represents. Tags for single tag items or resources
that are destroyed, consumed, or otherwise removed from play must be submitted to a plot team member, destroyed or
put in the garbage after use.

These tags are used to represent items that have varying states such as if an item is broken for example. These tags are
folded once to give 4 different fronts to provide relevant information. These are kept in a clear plastic sleeve that is
attached to an item to provide a current state by displaying only that side of the tag. All tags and sleeves are provided by
the plot team.

Dynamic tags are used to represent Weapons, Shields, Armour and Locks.

To breathe, to live, and to exist are privileges too many take for granted; it only takes but one chance encounter to steal them away

There is a spectrum between life and death where a character’s position within it can change drastically from one
moment to the next from living and well to dead and gone. The following details the various states and
requirements a character must follow when being attacked and receiving damage.

Body Points represent your character’s well-being; a character at their maximum body points is at their healthiest,
while a character with only a few points remaining is in a dire condition. When a character receives damage, points
are subtracted from the character’s total Body Points whereas when a character receives healing their Body Points
are increased up to the character’s total Body Points.

Every character’s Body Points begin at 8, 10 or 15 depending on their Ancestry.

Temporary Body Points represent a measure of increased endurance and vitality. Temporary body points act as
normal Body points and are in addition to a character’s Body points. These points cannot be healed or used for
any purpose beyond receiving damage and are removed before normal Body points when taking damage.

The following are the possible states a character may be in. If ever asked for the character’s current state via Assess
or another means, one of these states must be given.
Healthy
A character who has 1 or more body points is considered Healthy. The character can perform any ability, attack,
defend and move unhindered while they are in this state, unless otherwise noted.

5
Wounded
A character that has been reduced to 0 Body Points is considered Wounded and must fall prone to the ground and
role play being in considerable pain while in this state. Excess damage from a single attack that would take a
character’s body points past 0 is disregarded. A character will always fall into their Wounded state regardless of the
damage dealt unless otherwise noted. Any amount of healing a character receives while in their Wounded state will
return them to a Healthy state with 1 body point although some characters require up to 5 points of healing. The
character will remain Wounded until they have received 5 or more damage, received any amount of healing, choose
to enter their Bleeding state or are slain.
A character in their wounded states may only speak, scream or cry out and cannot resist slay attempts unless they
have purchased specific skills and/or talents that allow them to do otherwise.

Bleeding
A character that has been Wounded and suffered further damage, or has chosen to, enters their Bleeding state. In
this state the character begins a 2.5 minute Bleed count (150 count). During this count the character must go
prone, cannot speak, move, use abilities, and remain motionless. The character can only be returned to a Healthy
state by receiving any amount of healing, which will return them to a Healthy state with 1 body point, although
some characters may require up to 5 points of healing. If the character completes this count, they enter their Dying
state.

Dying
A character that has completed a full Bleed count or has been slain enters their Dying state. In this state the
character begins a 2.5 minute Death count (150 count). During this count the character must go prone, cannot
speak, move, use abilities, and must remain motionless. The character can only be affected by a Revival or Full
Revival effect, which will return them to a Healthy state with 1 body point or full body points respectively unless
otherwise noted. If a character completes this count, they have died and must proceed to plot camp with their
arms crossed over their chest with all items they were wielding and carrying when the count ended.

Any tagged belongings a character was wielding or carrying (held in the player’s hands, in pouches, scabbards etc.)
during the time death occurred that were not looted or dropped are carried with them through resurrection.

Dead
The character has suffered a true death and is permanently dead.

Sleeping
A character in this state has been put into a deep sleep by a Sleep effect. The character begins a 100 count and will
be awoken and returned to a healthy state if they complete the count, receive any amount of damage to their body
points, a slay is attempted on them or they receive an Awaken effect.

6
Players who are actually sleeping are not considered to be in a Sleeping state. If they are directly affected by
damage or an effect and do not wake initially, they must be awoken and informed of what occurred. Be considerate
of players who are actually sleeping, the methods taken to awaken and inform them as well as the time.

Characters and creatures can be slain with a 5 count (Slaying 1...2...3...); this represents a killing blow that cuts deep
into vital organs, crushes a skull, etc. A count can be started on a target in their Wounded or Bleeding states and
once the count is complete, the target is moved from their Wounded or Bleeding state into their Dying state. This
requires the slaying character to hold a weapon phys-rep to the target’s torso for the duration of the count. If the
slay count is interrupted, for example, the weapon is moved away from the target’s torso, the slay is unsuccessful.

Note that some characters with appropriate skills may be able to resist a slay while in their Wounded state and only
characters who have the Blooded skill may perform a slay.

Resurrection was not always commonplace upon Baela, for time immemorial when one’s time had come, they would expire, and it was widely
thought that they would pass unto the Vael; their destination, whether blissful or tormenting, would be dependent on the life they lived. Now,
when one dies their body is consumed by a shadowy mist and after a time, they rise to the surface of one of the countless black pools that now
appear across the breadth of Baela, possibly dead or alive. To experience resurrection is not without cost, all who journey through the black can
return to the world afflictions upon their body and soul, gifts of the dark god I’liu

A character’s death is not a simple thing, after a character has died, the following details the process, for a character who
has died, to determine if and how they return to life and count themselves amongst the living once more.

When a character has completed their Death count, they have died. In game, the character’s body will appear to others
as if it is being consumed by a dark inky mist that pulls them into the ground or otherwise envelops them, and their
body disappears. The player must stand up from where they died and proceed to plot camp at a walking pace with their
arms crossed over their chest. There are ways of returning a character to life during this period, and these return the
character to life at the location where the ability is used, not the site at which they died.

Any tagged belongings a character was wielding or carrying on their person during the time death occurred that were not
looted or dropped are carried with them through resurrection.

When the player arrives at Plot Camp, they will inform a member of the plot team of the way they died. The plot
member will review the player’s character card and construct a resurrection bag. The player then draws a single marble
from the resurrection bag.

A character’s resurrection bag starts with three white marbles. If a player draws a white marble, ithier character does not
suffer any effects from the current death. After drawing a white marble, it is replaced by a black marble for the next time
their character suffers a death and must draw from the bag. If a player draws a black marble, it represents that something
has occurred to their character during resurrection and a twenty-sided die is rolled against the Resurrection chart to
determine what kind of effect the character’s death had, with additional dice rolls being made as required.

The results of the roll are revealed to the player, and their character card is updated with any additional instructions
being given. The results can range from modifiers to a character, changes to the next time they resurrect or even True
Death where a character’s death is permanent.

7
True Death is a result a character may suffer during the resurrection process where they have been fated to not return to
the world. True Death is the end of a character’s story, and that character can no longer be played; while it is possible to
return from this fate, most will not experience it.

The player whose character has suffered a true death has two options. They may return to game for a time as that
character’s corpse and allow for any roleplay that may occur such as last rites or final goodbyes from other characters.

The player can choose to not to return to play and instead play as an alternative character, create a new character or, if
they have the appropriate NPC training, may NPC for the rest of the event.

Corruptions are afflictions that are a possible result of drawing a black marble when resurrecting and come in two forms,
Lesser and Greater. If a roll on any of the corruption charts results in a corruption that the character is already affected
by, a new roll is made. Characters cannot suffer from the same corruption concurrently unless otherwise noted.

The player must roll a 20-sided die (D20) for each tagged item and coin their character wielded or carried on their
person when they died. On a roll of a 1 to 5, an item is removed from play. In the case of armour tags, every 5 points is
rolled for rather than each individual point; armour of varying qualities will be rolled for separately. It is possible for
chance percentage to increase from 25% to 50% or 75% depending on the resulting rolls on the Lesser and Greater
Corruption charts, respectively.

Resurrection is a different experience for each individual and most who have travelled through the black speak of
differing but sometimes similar visions and ordeals. Each resurrection a character accrues has an associated experience
that must be rolled for with a 20-sided die (D20).

After all the results have been determined, the player will then be sent to a resurrection pool where they return to game,
living or dead. Resurrection pools can be found in various locations and players will be informed of their locations at the
beginning of game. Living characters emerge from the pool and continue play, while dead characters return as a corpse.

Upon resurrection, a character is returned to play with the following:

Full Body Points, Full Focus Points, No active spells upon them, Full memory of their death, Any items that were not
looted, lost to the pool, or corrupted, Any active corruption(s) suffered as a result of the current or previous deaths.

8
All characters have a resource they may draw upon called Focus. It represents a character’s capability to perform
feats of combat, cast spells and accomplish tasks amongst other things. Every character begins play with at least
10 Focus, while additional Focus may be purchased in increments of 5 Focus per purchase of the “Focused” skill.

All skills, spells and talents that are labeled as Active and use Focus are considered an ability.

The amount of Focus consumed by an ability is listed as part of the ability under Focus Cost and is most often in
increments of 2, 4, 6, 10 or 20. A player can use an ability as many times as they wish as long as they have sufficient
Focus remaining to use the ability. Focus is spent when an ability is activated; if a call is interrupted or said
incorrectly, the ability is not activated, and no Focus is spent. A character must be in their Healthy state to use an
ability unless otherwise stated.

Focus can be replenished in several ways but most frequently through Recovery, see page 12 for more information.

The following details the components of an ability, this covers a large portion of how most skills, talents and spells
work but each differs slightly, as mentioned in their respective sections of rules.

The name of the ability appears at the top of the entry.

This is a small, descriptive entry about the ability. This is always represented in italics and is in no way to be
interpreted as rules for the ability.

This section outlines if a Skill or Talent is Passive or Active, the latter making it an ability; whether an ability is
offensive, or defensive is shown here as well.
All spells are considered active, and their type will instead show if it is a cantrip, signature spell or a tier spell.
Offensive
Abilities marked as Offensive are used against other characters or creatures and most often deal damage or effects.
Defensive
Abilities marked as Defensive can be used to negate attacks, effects or other abilities and their verbals called within
2 seconds of the original attack or effect to successfully negate it.

Abilities are organized into tiers, and each tier has a standard cost, as seen below. Tier 0 represents an active skill,
talent or spell that requires no Focus.

9
An ability’s effect outlines what occurs when the ability is active.

These are phrases in quotation marks that must be spoken aloud to activate the ability and serve to inform the
target and/or those nearby of what is occurring. Verbals can appear in any type of ability but incants are exclusive
to spells. If a verbal entry has multiple options in brackets, one must be chosen when activating the ability.
Mis-Calls
A mis-call occurs when a player attempts to state the verbal or incant for an ability but is unable to do so properly
at that moment. The ability simply does not occur, and no Focus is spent. Do not worry, this happens to everyone
at some point.

The following methods detail how an ability is delivered either to the character activating the ability or their target.
Self
This method requires only the verbal/incant, if any, to be completed for the effect to be applied to the character. If
there is no verbal/incant, the character may activate the ability as they wish.
Touch
This delivery requires the character to place their hand on one of the target’s shoulders, or in the case of an item,
holding it for the duration of the verbal/incant. Touch deliveries can target the source character as well, in this
case the character need only state the verbal/incant. If a player has not consented to touch, you may hold your
hand near their shoulder and inform them of the abilities’ effects.
Boffer
This delivery requires a successful attack with a boffer weapon specified in the ability effect to hit the target to be
effective.
Packet
This method requires a packet to be thrown and hit the target or anything the target is wearing or wielding to be
effective. This represents the character projecting an orb of magic, throwing a vial of alchemical fluid, etc.
A packet must strike the target for the effect to be successful, this includes garments such as robes or cloaks.
Where the packet strikes the target is important as some effects react differently if striking a target directly versus
striking a shield the target is currently wielding.
In the delivery sections of abilities where more than 1 packet may be delivered, a number in brackets will note how
many packets are granted. In the case of an X, any number of packets may be thrown as noted in the ability’s
effect.
*A note on packets: The Plot Team predominantly uses white packets to distinguish theirs from players. It is asked
that players make their packets from a different pattern and/or colour. While players have the freedom to
personalize their packets with colour and design, if a player’s packets are found to break immersion, they may be
removed from play.

10
Rope Packet
This method requires a length of rope to be thrown and hit the target or anything the target is wearing or wielding
to be effective. This represents the character or creature throwing a bolas or projecting a sticky web, etc. To
represent the character’s struggle to free themselves, the rope must be knotted and the player must untie the knots
to free themselves. A rope packet must be knotted only with overhand knots and with a maximum of 10 knots.

A rope packet must be a rope at least 10mm thick, a maximum length of 120 cm and made from a soft material
such as nylon. Rope packets must be safety marshalled before being permitted into game.
A rope packet must strike the target for the effect to be successful, this includes garments such as robes, cloaks or
wielded items.

Durations are how long an ability will last or the requirements that must be met for it to remain active.
Instant
The ability’s effect is active when the verbal and/or count is completed and delivered as noted in the effect.
Held
The ability is active for as long as the weapon or shield is held by the character who was wielding it at the time of
activation or until noted in the ability entry. If the weapon or shield is ever broken, disarmed or un-wielded, the
ability ends; in regard to bow weapons, the ability effects the character’s bow rather than the arrows.
Stance
When activated, the immediate area the character currently is standing is where the stance is taken; this area is a
circle approximately as wide as the player’s arms when fully stretched out. The character may move freely within
this area, but if they move outside of it or enter their Wounded, Bleeding or Dying states, the ability will end.
Constant
The ability is active until the character chooses to end the ability or once a character finishes a Death count while
in their Dying state. The Focus used to activate the ability cannot be recovered or replenished while the ability is
active.
Concentration
The ability requires the character to direct their attention in one of three ways, these different methods are referred
to as Concentration: Ranged, Touch or Self and have the following additional conditions.
Ranged: Character must successfully hit the target with a packet and then must hold up a single empty
hand with their palm facing the target and stay within line of sight for the ability to remain
active.
Touch: Character must place their hand on the target’s shoulder, and it must remain there for the ability to
remain active.
Self: Character does not have to perform any additional conditions for the ability to remain active.
If the conditions are met and the ability is successful activated, the concentrating character may not attack, defend,
or use Focus on other abilities. They are free to speak and move unless otherwise noted. The ability ends when the
character chooses to stop concentrating or one of the following:
The character receives damage to their Body Points
The character receives a Daze effect
The character becomes restrained
The character enters their Sleeping, Wounded, Bleeding or Dying state

11
Line of Sight
If an ability requires line of sight, the character must keep an unobstructed view of the target. To break line of
sight, an object such as a large tree, building, hill or forest that completely obscures the target from the caster must
be between them.
Count
The ability’s effect is active as long as its count is in progress. A count will stop if the character chooses to stop the
count or one of the following occurs:
A count will stop if the counting character:
The character receives damage to their Body Points
The character receives a Daze effect
The character becomes restrained
The character enters their Sleeping, Wounded, Bleeding or Dying state

These costs indicate the amount of Focus required to use an ability once .

One must rest their body and recenter their mind if they are to overcome the challenges that undoubtably arise before them

A character’s primary method of regaining Focus is called Recovery, this allows a character to replenish Focus after
spending time participating in an activity, this is called a Recovery Session. Players must meet the minimum time
requirement to recover Focus; however, they may engage in in a series of Recovery Sessions in a single sitting.

Focus is recovered at a rate of 5 Focus per every 10-minute Recovery Session completed. Characters must be in their
Healthy state to begin, and a character may only regain Focus points up to their Focus point total unless otherwise
noted. Other points may be replenished through Recovery Sessions such as Body Points and Natural Armour Points as
well.

There are several ways to increase the amount of Focus during a Recovery Session including abilities, effects, and
consumables; the maximum amount of either that can be gained during a single session is 10 points.

Recovery Session activities can include but are not limited to exploring, eating, cooking, sparring, praying, singing,
playing games, gambling, meditation, and storytelling. You must be doing an activity to recover Focus save for sleeping,
this will also count as a Recovery Session and most often a few hours rest will replenish the entirety of a character’s
Focus.

If a character’s Recovery Session is interrupted before its completion, no Focus is gained for that session. Recovery
Sessions can be interrupted in the following ways:

The recovering character attacks a target (0 Damage calls do not count as attacking)
The recovering character receives any amount of damage
The recovering character expends Focus
The recovering character receives an effect that is not Healing, Bandaged, Regenerate, Restore or Repair

12
In every world there is conflict, bloodshed, victory, and defeat; Some choose to embrace it while or others are forced to endure

Combat is portion of the game that is meant to be dramatic for immersion and controlled to allow for safety,
understanding of called damage, skills, spells and so on. The following details the rules and intended conduct of combat:

The following rules apply to combat in all forms:

-Combat is always resolved using safety marshalled approved boffers and packets
-Always be aware of your surroundings, including players and the environment, while engaging in combat
-You must always be able to see your target and be aware of where your attack is being delivered.
-Attacks should always be made in a controlled and safe manner.
-Player’s heads, groins and hands are invalid targets; hits taken to these areas by any weapons or arrows are not counted.
If a player asks OOG to not be hit in a location within reason, respect their request and do so.
-Grabbing and holding weapons or shields is not permitted
-React to attacks in a dramatic way as much as possible. Getting hit hurts your character and reacting not only adds to
immersion but also allows the attacker to know that you acknowledged their attack.
-Charging or rushing into other players is not permitted

Safety checks on weapons, shields and armour should be performed regularly throughout an event, they should consist
of a quick inspection to assess the condition of a phys-rep to ensure its use will not harm to the wielder, another player
or plot team member. If ever a weapon, shield or piece of armour becomes unsafe to use, it must be immediately
removed from play until such a time as it can be repaired and inspected by an appropriate plot team member/organizer.

-Unsafe weapon conditions include but are not limited to broken cores, badly torn foam, exposed cores, etc.

-Unsafe shield conditions include but are not limited to exposed cores, exposed bolts, damaged frame, etc.

-Unsafe armour conditions include but are not limited to broken straps, sharp edges, damaged pieces, etc.

There are two different ways to attack a target: Basic Attacks, and Offensive Abilities:

Basic Attacks
Basic attacks use the base damage of weapons currently wielded by a character and increase depending on skills, talents
or abilities of the character.

Damage calls from basic attacks only need to be made after they have successfully landed. This is to reduce the number
of unnecessary calls made; calls can still be made without landing to act as a warning for example. Damage calls from
basic attacks may be reduced if the player wishes to. Example: A character can swing their great axe for “4 Normal” but
can choose to swing for “1 Normal” instead.

Offensive Abilities
Activated ability verbals must be called first and then followed by the ability. Verbals must be stated immediately before
attempting the ability.

13
There are four types of attacks a player can perform and they are explained below:

The Swing
These attacks are made specifically with boffer weapons and include thrusting attacks.

Swings should be as light as possible but with enough force to ensure the target has felt it and is able to respond
accordingly.

Swings cannot be delivered from the wrist.

A weapon must be pulled back a minimum of 45 degrees or 30 cm in the case of thrusting weapons after an attack
before attacking again.

Swings should have no follow through save for draw cuts used for dramatic effect.

Each swing must always strike a different location on a target.

Bows and arrows are not to be struck in melee or used to defend against attacks

Validity of successful melee attacks is determined by the target rather than the attacker

The Touch
These deliveries are specifically made with the player’s hands.

All touch deliveries should be made to a target’s shoulder.

All touch deliveries should be gentle but firm enough to ensure the target knows they are being affected by a touch
ability without pushing or causing discomfort to the target

The Shot
These attacks are specifically made with boffer arrows shot form bows.

A cursory safety check must be performed before firing an arrow. This includes but is not limited to ensuring the boffer
head is still in place and ensuring the shaft is structurally sound. If an arrow is broken it must be removed from play
immediately.

All shots must be performed from a stationary standing position.

Always maintain a safe distance between you and targets when shooting

Arrows must be shot from a bow to deal damage, they cannot be used in melee

Never fully draw your bow when shooting

Validity of a successful ranged attack is determined by the attacker rather than the target

The Throw
These attacks are specifically made with packets and rope packets.

Packets and rope packets are to be safety checked before they are thrown.

Validity of a successful ranged attack is determined by the attacker rather than the target

Packets and rope packets are to be thrown with only enough force to ensure the receiving player has felt it to respond
accordingly.

14
Blocking
Weapons and shields can be used to block a majority of basic attacks and abilities from attackers. If a basic or attack or
ability strikes a weapon or shield and not the target themselves, that attack is successfully blocked unless otherwise
noted. Melee attacks that are successfully blocked cannot be forced into a blocker; any forced attacks are considered
unsuccessful. Attacks should always be as light as possible and blocking should never be a contest of strength between
players.

Light Daggers, Bows and arrows and cannot be used to block attacks as well as arrows are not to be purposely struck
out of the air in an attempt to block them.

At any point if you feel that an attack is being delivered too hard, unsafely or incorrectly you may call “Check
Swing/Shot/Throw.” If a PC or NPC is ever attacking or conducting themselves in an unsafe or dangerous manner, call
a Game Pause if necessary.

All PCs and NPCs present are required to evaluate the situation and correct their attacks and deliveries after hearing this
call.

Melee Weapons
A character may wield melee weapons without the Common Trait if they have not purchased the Melee Weapon
Training skill. If the weapon is being used to attack, the character can only deal 1 damage with the weapon regardless
and may use the weapon to block as normal.

Ranged Weapons
A character may not wield ranged weapons without the Ranged Weapon Training Skill.

Shields
A character may wield a shield if they have not purchased the Shield Training skill but they must hold the shield in two
hands rather than in one.

From crude boot knife to masterwork spear, weapons are carried by all in some capacity to protect and harm in equal measure

Weapons are the physical means to combat an enemy, fight a battle and wage a war; the following details the
requirements specific to using a weapon in combat.

All weapon phys reps must be safety marshalled before being allowed into play. Any weapons that do not meet safety
and quality standards or exceed outside the measurements listed in the chart below will not be permitted into game.
Weapons must resemble and be easily identifiable as a member of one of the weapon groups indicated in the chart
below.

Melee Weapons
Melee weapons phys reps may be manufactured or crafted. Crafted weapons must be made with a PVC or CPVC core.

Bows and Arrows

Only manufactured bows and arrows will be permitted into game with the maximum draw weight of a bow not
exceeding 30 lbs.

To draw this weapon is to part with any thoughts of victory and replace them an imperative to simply survive

Moments exist where all options have been exhausted; where there is nowhere to run, enemies outnumber, armaments
lay out of reach, and death awaits. In those moments, the only thing that can provide a glimmer of hope, is a weapon of
Last Resort.

It is a common acceptance in the world of Baela that most carry a small weapon for defense, attempting to kill with a
such a thing would prove most difficult.

All characters have access to and may keep a Last Resort on their person; these are untagged items that cannot be looted
or stolen from the character. While wielding a Last Resort, a character is immune to any Disarm effects that target the
Last Resort.

Last Resorts can take many forms such as a boot knife, a small axe or a wooden stake for examples. Last Resorts must
be a coreless boffer weapon with an overall length measuring between 20 cm to 30 cm.

Last Resorts deal 1 Normal damage, this damage cannot be increased, and the damage type cannot be changed.

Last Resorts cannot be used with abilities, cannot be used to slay characters or creatures, cannot be enchanted, do not
count as a weapon for purposes of abilities and cannot be used to block attacks.

Built to defend, wielded to protect, entrusted to safeguard; shields have been a staple of warriors and armies alike since ages past

For those who choose to wield a shield in battle; the following details the requirements specific to using a shield in
combat and their classifications.

Shields are wielded two different ways depending on if the character has the Shield Training skill or not:

Character does not have the Shield Training Skill – A character must hold a shield in both hands to wield it.
Character does have the Shield Training Skill – A character may hold a shield in a single hand to wield it.

Shields will provide protection only when wielded in the hand(s). Shields stowed on a player’s body do not provide any
protection; for example, a shield slung over a player’s back or hung off of a belt provide no protection from attacks.
Hands that are wielding shields cannot wield weapons but may hold items not currently in use. Shields can be strapped
and/or have handles.

Shields block all damage from attacks that do not meet or exceed their Resilience Value. Attacks with a damage type
other than Magic, Penetrate and Unstoppable will not affect the wielder if they strike the shield.

18
The amount of damage a shield can take before it breaks is its Resilience Value. If a shield is dealt damage that equals or
exceeds it resilience value or is struck by the Sunder effect, it is considered broken. Wielding a broken shield provides no
protection, and any attacks that strike it also affect the wielder; broken shields may be restored in a variety of ways, such
as magic or smithing and Resilience Values can be increased in a variety of ways including skills, talents, magic, and
crafting.

The size of a shield phys-rep determines its type in one of three categories: Light, Heavy and Great.

These values provide the sizes to determine the type of shield a phys-rep can be. The values provided are for all shields
regardless of shape.

19
To defend and secure, to protect and endure. A safeguard from harm, malevolence, and charm. A barrier and shield, to nothing it shall yield

Armour, in all of its forms, provides characters with a measure of protection; whether from crafted items, magical spells
or natural occurring, it will protect characters from harm when they need it most.

Armour Points require a phys rep that is represented by actual fantasy period armour. Armor can take on many forms,
and the charts further in this section serve as a guide to determine the value of a piece of armour in terms of armour
points or how much protection it will provide in the game. The amount of armour points a piece will provide is based
on two factors: the amount of locations it covers as seen in the Armour Locations chart as well as its type and any
modifiers relevant to it, as seen in the Armour Types and Modifier Charts. players will be provided with an additional tag
that shows how many armour points their phys-reps can represent.

In game, a character can accumulate tags that match the armour type (cloth, leather, chain, scale or plate) of their phys
reps and the total of those tags represents their available armour points. Armour points can neverexceed the point value
of the currently worn armour phys rep.

For example: A chainmail shirt’s maximum armour value is found to be worth 30 points. In game, one needs to find,
buy or craft a Chain Armour tag with a value less than or equal to 30 points.

Each piece worn will contributes its armour value to a character’s total amount of armour points.

A character can have a maximum of 125 armour points, they may have the tags and armour phys-reps to represent a
higher amount of armour but may never benefit over the maximum amount. This maximum amount does not include
Natural Armour or Temporary Armour points.

Natural armour is assumed to be part of the character, such as hardened or scaly flesh for examples. Natural armour acts
in the same manner as physical armour except they do not need to be represented, they cannot be repaired, they do not
become broken when they are reduced to 0 points, and they are replenished to their full amount when a character
completes a single recovery session.

Temporary Armour Points act as normal armour points except they cannot be restored or repaired and are removed
from the character when reduced to 0 points.

Armour tags do not need to be attached to armour, but players are required to keep them on thier person while wearing
armour phys reps. Multiple tags can be combined to represent your total current armour; multiple qualities can be worn
and all effects for the different qualities occur when your armour is reduced to 0, broken, reinforced, etc.

For example: If you are wearing 30 points of normal quality armour and 10 points of superior quality armour, when your
armour points are reduced to 0 the normal quality armour is broken while the superior quality armour is not.

Armour points are subtracted as the character takes damage from attacks, abilities and spells, except when they are
struck by an attack with the body damage type. The body damage type allows an attack to bypass a target’s armour,
leaving it undamaged, instead damaging a character’s body points directly.

Armour can only take so much damage before it is rendered useless. When a character’s armour points are reduced to 0,
their armour is considered broken and can only be repaired for 50% of its total value rounded down until it has first
been restored.

20
Damage is inflicted in the following order: 1) Armour followed by 2) Natural armour, if present and 3) Body points. If a
character’s armour ever reaches 0 it is broken and its tag must be changed to the broken state if the armour tag is given
to another PC or NPC while in that state.

Damage is dealt in this order if a character has the appropriate armours. If they do not, the damage proceeds to the next
applicable armour or body points.

Armour is primarily repaired in two different ways, by an Armour Smith or by the Reforge magic spell. Damaged armour
can be repaired while it is worn and while it is not worn as well.

Armour that has been damaged to the point where it has reached 0 armour points has become broken can only be
repaired up to a maximum of 50% of its total points until restored. If the armour is given to another PC or NPC while
in a broken state it must have its tag flipped to the correct facing.

When armour that is worn is being repaired, the wearer will be given a value of how much their armour has been
repaired, this will vary depending on the repair method. The value replenishes the wearer’s armour point pool rather
than individual pieces of armours armour totals.

When armour that is not worn is being repaired, the repairer simply keeps track of the current amount of armour points
they have repaired and inform the owner when they retrieve the armour.

Multiple armour pieces can be layered, and their values combined, providing additional armour points per location. Any
armour types can be combined up to a maximum of 5 armour points per location. If you have purchased the Heavy
Armour Skill, your maximum armour points per location is increased to 10.

The location on the diagram below shows the possible locations a character may wear and receive armour points for.

Harm manifests itself in many forms; all will eventually lead to death but each with it own unique path

Damage types represent the various ways damage can be dealt; they all must be delivered to a target via boffer or
packet but some work differently depending on the situation. The following are considered regular damage types
and affect a target’s armour points, if any, before damaging their body points.
There are circumstances where a damage type may have reduced effect or no effect on a target.

Normal Damage
Deals damage to a character or creature’s Armour Points and/or Natural Armour Points before damaging their
Body Points.
The following count as normal damage types and only take an additional effect if their targets have a vulnerability
to them as noted below.
Fire Ice Lightning Disrupt Silver Deep Iron Corruption Alchemical

Body Damage
Deals damage to a character or creature’s Body Points directly regardless of any armour the target may have.

If a target with a vulnerability is dealt damage to their body points with an attack that affects their vulnerability,
they receive 2x the specified damage from that attack.

These damage types are delivered with an amount of damage or with an effect in addition to their own effects as
seen below:

Decay
If a target receives damage from the Decay damage type, either to their armour or shield, they receive double the
damage stated. If the character is not wearing armour, their armour currently had no armour points remaining or
are not wielding a shield that is struck, they receive the stated amount of damage.

Drain
If a target receives damage from the Drain damage type, they lose the amount of Body Points equal to the damage
stated, and the source of the damage heals that amount in Body Points.

Explosive
If a target receives damage from the Explosive damage type, they lose the amount of Body specified.

Focus Drain
If a target receives damage from the Focus Drain damage type, they lose the amount of Focus Points equal to the
damage stated, and the source of the damage replenishes that amount in Focus Points.

Magic
If a target receives damage from the Magic damage type and it strikes a shield they are wielding, the damage will
affect them as if it hit them directly instead.

24
Poison
If a target receives damage from the Poison damage type, they will receive the damage or the stated effect at the
time of delivery as well as each time they use Focus until the Poison is removed.

Purest
If a target with a vulnerability is dealt damage to their Body Points with an attack with the Purest damage type that
affects their vulnerability, they receive 3x the specified damage from that attack instead of 2x.

Unstoppable
If a target receives an effect and/or damage from the Unstoppable damage type, they are unable to use activated
abilities to negate it. Or if it strikes a target’s shield, the damage will affect the target as if it hit them directly
instead.

The following are the effects that a character may encounter during an event:

29
Call it spoils, loot or trophies; claiming another’s belongings or remains a prize is a practice as old as any can remember

Looting, searching, and harvesting represent what a character may do when in search of goods or coins from other
characters or creatures. Whenever a character wishes to loot, search, or harvest they must place their hand on the target’s
shoulder and complete the appropriate count, at that time the target will provide the appropriate items or tags. At no
time should anything be taken forcefully, or a player physically searched.

Looting represents a character checking over another character or creature’s body for anything of value and taking it.
Only coin, tags and tagged items may be taken in this way and this can include items such as weapons, resources, etc.

Looting is a 5 or 50 count, pending on the type of looting and can only be performed on characters in their Wounded,
Bleeding, Dying or Sleeping states. Looting is performed in one of two ways, listed below:

Looting Wielded Items

Tagged items that are held in a player’s hands or worn around the player’s wrists at the time of looting are considered to
be wielded for the sake of looting. They may be taken by completing a 5 count (Looting 1, Looting 2, Looting 3...) at
which time the character being looted must give all currently wielded tagged items, to the character performing the
looting count.

Looting Carried Items

Any items not wielded but kept in scabbards, bags, or pockets on the character are considered to be carried. They may
be taken upon completing a 50 count (Looting 1, Looting 2, Looting 3...), at which time the character being looted must
give all carried tagged items, tags and coin to the character performing the looting count. In the case of a character with
no visible means of carrying an item, a looting count can still be performed on them. Note that certain talents may
prevent a character from being looted and armour cannot be looted.

If a tagged phys-rep is looted, the tag attached to it cannot be removed and placed on another phys-rep, it must remain
with the original phys-rep. A player reserves the right to keep a phys-rep from being looted, if they choose to keep the
phys-rep they must surrender the tag immediately. Tags acquired in this manner may be attached to another appropriate
phys-rep.

If a looting count is interrupted before completion, the count must begin again and completed to successfully Loot the
target.

Searching represents a character checking another character's belongings and observing what they are currently carrying
without taking items from them.

A search count may be completed on a target in any state to reveal what they are carrying rather than taking their
belongings. Upon the completion of a 50 count (Searching 1, Searching 2, Searching 3...), the target must reveal all
tagged items, tags, and coin they are currently carrying, save for any items that have been hidden using the Conceal
effect, but not surrender them.

If a Searching count is interrupted before completion, the count must begin again and completed to successfully Search
the target.

30
Harvesting represents a character performing a necropsy or field dressing a creature and retrieving parts and/or organs.
These parts and organs are represented by Offal Resource or Creature Resources and can be utilized in a variety of ways
including alchemy, trade, rites, etc.

A character must have access to the Post Mortem skill to be able to Harvest creatures.

Harvesting is a 50 count (Harvesting 1, Harvesting 2, Harvesting 3...) and can only be performed on creatures or
monsters in their Bleeding or Dying states. Once the count is complete the NPC playing the creature or monster will
produce Offal Resource tags and/or Harvested Part tags and give them to the character performing the Harvest Count.

If a Harvesting count is interrupted before completion, the count must begin again and completed to successfully
Harvest the target.

Players may “steal” unattended items from other PCs and NPCs but only tags and tagged items may be taken this way.
All phys-reps that are stolen must be reported to Plot Camp as soon as feasibly possible, with any phys-reps returned to
their owners or plot camp at the end of event with absolutely no exceptions. Any items that are stolen must be treated
with the utmost respect and returned in the same condition as they were taken, if not better. Note that arrows and
armour phys-reps are not tagged directly but instead carried separately on the player and therefore cannot be stolen.

If a tagged phys-rep is stolen, the tag attached to it cannot be removed and placed on another phys-rep, it must remain
with the phys-rep.

If a player wishes to have their phys-rep returned before the end of the event, they may come to plot camp and a
solution will be found.

If an untagged phys-rep does not belong to you, do not take, or use it without receiving explicit out of game permission
from its owner.

31
Not all appears as it is seen with the naked eye; experience, study and natural ability can all reveal in detail what truly lies before one

Assess represents a character being able to determine a certain aspect or characteristic about a character or creature
where it is not possible to determine without OOG information.

The Assess system allows a player to ask a target an OOG question and receive an OOG response. These questions, all
prefaced with “Assess,” represent the character gathering information visually such as the condition of a target’s armour
or if a target is bleeding out for examples.

To perform an Assess, players must place their hand on the target’s shoulder and state “Assess” followed by the type of
Assess, the target must then answer with the correct information as noted below.

All characters can perform Assess: State while all remaining forms of Assess must be accessed through other means such
as purchasing Skills and Talents.

Only the assessing character can learn the assessed info, unintentionally heard information should be
dismissed.

Target must respond with their current state. (Healthy/Sleeping/Wounded/Bleeding/Dying/Dead)

Target must respond with how many Body Points they are currently down from their Body Point total.

Target must respond with how many Armour Points they are currently down from their Armour Point total. If the target
is not currently wearing armour, they must reply with “Not wearing armour.”

Target must respond with their armour’s current state, either “Normal” or “Broken.” If the target’s armour is broken,
they must also state 50% of their armour value rounded down. For example: If the target’s armour point value is 40 and
their armour was broken, they would respond “Broken 20.” If the target is not currently wearing armour, they must
reply with “Not wearing armour.”

Target must respond with “Yes” or “No” depending on if they are currently poisoned or not respectively.

Target must respond with “Yes” or “No” depending on if they are currently diseased or not respectively and state which
disease(s) they are currently affected by.

Target must respond with “Yes” or “No” depending on if they are currently hexed or not respectively and state which
hex(es) they are currently affected by.

There will be times when many must come together to overcome an obstacle or to perform a feat and moments when one must draw upon every
ounce of strength they have and rise to the challenge alone

Players may come across situations or encounters where Power is required as a solution or is an opportunity.
This can involve just an individual character or multiple characters working together to meet that value depending on the
situation.

In any situation detailed below requiring a Power value, an initiator must begin the action by stating “With the Power of
X, I/We...(action).” X is equal to the initiator's Power value, in some instance where other character may assist , 1 is
added to the value for every other character assisting in the action. Actions may have limitations on how many
characters may participate, if at all, and may include additional limitations.

For example: A group of characters comes across a character who is trapped under a fallen tree; the tree can only be
moved with the Power of 5. A group, which consists of 5 characters, each with a Power of 1 can move the tree
successfully. An initiator would state, “With the Power of 5, we lift the tree” using their Power value of 1 as the base
value and adding an additional 4 to that value, 1 for each assisting character, and the action would be successful and the
trapped character freed.

A player cannot push, pull, grab, or complete an action using Power outside of the following circumstances or
when prompted by a module or member of the plot team.

All characters and some creatures in game may be carried, most usually targets who are not able to walk normally or
quickly by themselves. This is represented by the initiating character who intends to carry the other placing an empty
hand on the target’s shoulder and stating, “With the Power of X, I carry you” where X is equal to the carrying
character’s individual Power value. Carrying a character only requires the Power of 1, but the carrier and target may only
walk during the carry. Up to 1 additional character may assist in carrying the target character; each carrying character
must place an empty hand on the targets shoulders and the initiator may add 1 to their Power value for the additional
carrier. With a Power of 2 or more, either from a single carrier or additional carriers, the carrier(s) and target may run
during the carry. Characters may be transferred to a new carrier by the new carrier stating, “With the Power of X, I carry
you.” At any time, a carried character may be put down by the carrier(s) removing their hands from their shoulders.
Alternatively, the carried character may end the carry at any time by removing the carrier’s hands from their shoulders.

Creatures may be carried but may require more than the Power of 1 to be carried at a walking speed. At the completion
of the statement “With the Power of X, I/We carry you”, the NPC playing the creature will inform the potential carriers
if they are successful or not. For the creature to be carried at a running speed, the Power required to walk must be
doubled.

Characters may restrain other or be restrained against their will. To restrain a target, an initiating character must place
both of their empty hands on either shoulder of the target and state, “With the Power of X, I/We restrain,” where X is
equal to their Power value. Their Power value must exceed the targets for them to successfully restrain. Up to 1
additional character may assist in restraining a target; each restraining character must place both empty hands on either
of the targets shoulders and the initiator may add 1 to their Power value for the additional restrainer. The restrainer(s)
are considered concentrating while attempting a restrain, and their concentration can be broken as normal.

If the target has a defense against restraint they may call the verbal for that effect or if they have an equal or higher
Power value they may state, “With the Power of X, I resist,” where X is equal to their power; in either case, the restrain
attempt fails. If the target is restrained, then they are unable to move, attack or defend themselves but may use abilities
with the Escape effect. Restrained targets must move where directed by their restrainers at a walking pace and may resist
slay attempts.

33
Characters or creatures may force or deny entry or exit to a building or space that has a door that can be currently
opened and closed and is believed to be blocked by other characters or creatures. If a character or creature wishes to
force a door open, an initiating character or creature stating, “With the Power of X, I/We force entry/exit.” Those
attempting to force entry or exit must wait at least 2 seconds before entering to allow for a denial of entry/exit call to be
made, if any. At this point, characters or creatures may choose to deny them entry if they have a sufficient Power value
to at least meet the opposing value. If they are able to, the initiator must state, “With the Power of X, I/We deny entry!”
A maximum of 2 additional characters may assist the initiating character or creature and participate in forcing or denying
entry.

If the forcer(s) have the higher Power value or no denial of entry is made, then the door is opened, and the forcer(s)
have successfully forced entry. The deniers must make way as if they are pushed aside as the door opens. If a denier(s)
meet or exceed the forcers’ value, then the door remains closed and the forcer(s) have been successfully denied entry.

At no point should actual force be used to determine if a door opens or closes.

Certain creatures can consume, absorb or swallow characters whole and to most this is a grim fate but there are those
with the strength to escape. To restrain a target, a creature must attack and successfully strike the target and state, “With
the Power of X, Engulf.” If the creature’s Power value exceeds the targets, they successfully deal the Engulf effect to the
target. If successful the character must go OOG, place their hand on the NPC’s shoulder, follow them and listen to their
instructions.

If the target has a defense against Engulf, such as the Escape effect, they may call the verbal for that effect or if they
have an equal or higher Power value they may state, “With the Power of X, I resist,” in either case, the Engulf attempt
fails. This defense may also be called at a later time if the Engulf is successful, for example, if a character was Engulfed
while in their Sleeping state, when that count ends they may state any defenses.

After successfully Engulfing a character, the creature may deal additional damage, effects or attempt to slay the engulfed
character and any Body damage dealt to the creature is also dealt to the Engulfed character; the character also is unable
to move freely, attack, defend themselves use items or use abilities. If a character dies while engulfed, they resurrect as
normal.

At any time, a creature may eject an Engulfed character; the character is returned to play with all damage, effects or state
changes that occurred while Engulfed. If a creature who has successfully engulfed a character dies while the character is
still engulfed, the character is ejected where the creature died and returns to game.

Carrying
Carrier: “With the Power of X, I/We carry you.”

Restraining
Restrainer: “With the Power of X, I/We restrain.”
Restrainee: “With the Power of X, I resist.”

Forcing/Denying entry
Forcers: “With the Power of X, I/We force entry/exit.”
Deniers: “With the Power of X, I/We deny entry/exit.”

Engulf
Engulfer: “With the Power of X, I Engulf.”

A vice is often an escape from a world wrought with peril but it too can be the demise of those who partake

Chronicles LARP has a zero tolerance policy regarding players consuming alcohol and recreational drugs at events.
The following describes how a character may consume (IG) Alcohol and Drugs and the results of doing so.

Characters may consume alcohol and drugs in game; this may be done in celebration, desperation, and everything in
between. All alcohol and drugs have an intoxication value on their respective tags, this value is compared to a character’s
current Body or Focus points as noted below. Characters with higher Body or Focus points can consume more potent
Alcohol and Drugs without experiencing negative effects.

Characters can become more resilient to the effects of alcohol and drugs by purchasing the Hardened skill, increasing
the value of their Body and Focus points when comparing them against intoxication values.

Players are free to roleplay any effects of their characters consuming alcohol or drugs such as being drunk or
experiencing feelings of euphoria as they wish. It is encouraged that the more a character consumes, the more
intoxicated they become.

When consuming alcohol, a character must check the alcohol’s tag for its intoxication value, this can be done before or
after consuming. Consuming alcohol requires a 3 count (Consuming 1…Consuming 2…Consuming 3…) and depending
on the character’s current Body Points, one of the following will occur:

 The intoxication value does not exceed a character’s current Body Points, the character is unaffected.
 The intoxication value exceeds the character’s current Body Points but not double them, the character is
affected by the Fatigued effect. If the character chooses to consume alcohol that exceeds their current Body
Points again or while they are affected by the Fatigued effect, the character is now also affected by the
Exhausted effect.
 If this value is double the character’s current Body Points; the character is affected by the Exhausted effect.
 If the character consumes any alcohol while affected by the Exhausted effect, they receive a Sleep effect.

If a character reaches their Body Point total in intoxication values when consuming alcohol, they become drunk and may
resist the next Fear effect they are affected by and gain +5 Temp Body Points. These bonuses are lost during the
character’s next recovery session and can only be gained once between recovery sessions.

When consuming drugs, a character must check the drug’s tag for its intoxication value, this can be done before or after
consuming. Consuming drugs requires a 3 count (Consuming 1…Consuming 2…Consuming 3…) and depending on
the character’s current Focus Points, one of the following will occur:

 The intoxication value does not exceed a character’s current Focus Points, the character is unaffected.
 The intoxication value exceeds the character’s current Focus Points but not double them, the character is
affected by the Fatigued effect. If the character chooses to consume drugs that exceed their current Focus
Points again while they are Fatigued, the character is now affected by the Exhausted effect.
 The intoxication value is double the character’s current Focus Points; the character is affected by the
Exhausted effect.
 If the character consumes any drugs while affected by the Exhausted effect, they receive a Sleep effect.

If a character reaches their Focus Point total in intoxication values when consuming drugs, they become drunk and may
resist the next Pain effect they are affected by and gain 5 Temporary Focus Points. These bonuses are lost during the
character’s next recovery session and can only be gained once between recovery sessions.

35
The following details how a new character is initially created, what they are capable of and what choices must be
made to have them ready for play.

To create a character, the following is required to be chosen and/or spent. The specific options and choices are
detailed in the proceeding sections of the rules.
Ancestry
Origin
Culture
Star Sign
Skill Set
Class
150 Points worth of Skills
3 Talent Points worth of Talents
**Characters will receive coin to buy starting armour, weapons, ect. Coin amount and Starting Buy List to come**
After these initial choices have been made and points spent the character then follows the Progression chart on
page 38 for additional Skill and Talent points unlocks.

All characters begin with the same capabilities; choices such as Ancestry, Class, Talents and Skills can add to and
modify these capabilities. Below are the starting values and capabilities of all characters:
Begin at level 1
Begin with 10 Body Points
Begin with 10 Focus Points
Can only wield a single weapon
Can attack with melee weapons with the “Common” trait for base damage
Can attack with melee weapons without the “Common” trait for 1 damage
Cannot “slay” characters or creatures to put them into their Dying state
Can only wield a shield with both hands
Can loot or search another character or creature with a 50 count.
Cannot write but may read anything they wish but it must be spoken out loud slowly
Can use Assess: State on any character or creature with a 5 count to determine which state they are currently in
(Healthy, Wounded, Bleeding, Dying, or Sleeping).

A player can create multiple characters and play a variety of them from game to game, when a player chooses to
have more than one character they must adhere to the following rules:

Character Death
Characters that have suffered a True Death during resurrection have been fated to not return to the world. True
Death is the end of a character’s story, and that character can no longer be played unless a True Resurrection
occurs for their character and the player is willing to play that character once more. All of the character’s items and
tags on their person at the time of death are submitted to plot.

The character’s information is kept in case a True Resurrection effect occurs so that they may play that character
once more.

36
Alternative Characters
These are characters that a player has created and submitted in addition to their primary character. Players choose
which character they wish to play for an event and must play that character for the duration of the event unless the
character suffers a True Death. As mentioned above, Skill and Talent points for alternative characters cannot be
gained through Progression unless that character is played.

Character Retirement
Players may find sometimes that a character no longer appeals to them, or it is an appropriate time to end their
story. If this occurs, a player may choose to retire their character.

A player who chooses to retire a character is entitled to create a new character with a higher starting level. A retired
character earns the new character 1 game attended per character level at retirement.

Example: Character A is currently level 10, and the player wishes to retire Character A and create Character B.
Character B would start as if they had already played 10 games: be level 5, have 210 skill points and 5 talent points
to spend as per the Progression Chart on page 38.

Skill and talent points received through retirement do not have to be applied to the player’s next new character but
may be kept until they wish to spend them on a new character; however, this bonus must be applied to a single
character and cannot be divided amongst several characters.

Players may choose to retire characters at any time during or between events.

All of a character’s items and tags are submitted to plot at the time of retirement. The character has left the story
and is no longer seen or heard from again; this choice is permanent and should not be made lightly.

37
One’s story is a journey of learning, growing, and achieving. Experience and memories make each of us unique and every adventure both grand
and small, shapes us into who we are; the only question one must ask is, what is your story?

A character progresses by being played at events, which earns them Skill and Talent points. The number of points a
character receives depends on the total number of events a player has attended as that character. Skill Points are awarded
every level, and Talent Points every odd level as seen in the Character Progression Chart.
Additional Talent Points can be obtained by purchasing the “Talented” skill.

Characters begin play at Level 1 with 125 Skill Points (SP) and 3 Talent Points (TP) to spend. Players may spend these
Skill and Talent points for their character completely before entering game or save them for future purchases.

Once a character has reached Level 15, they have earned the maximum number of Skill and Talent Points; the character
may be played beyond this point, but they will no longer gain additional Skill or Talent Points.

38
Over a lifetime, necessity, and obligation may change and shift. What capabilities were needed in the past may be antiquated in the future; it is
a constant struggle to be at ones best but those willing to adapt will find themselves better prepared for whatever challenges may arise

Retraining allows for purchased Skills or Talents to be removed from a character and the spent points refunded. Only a
single Skill or Talent may be retrained at a time. To represent this, depending on the cost of the Skill or Talent, one or
more events must pass before the refunded points can be spent as seen in the chart below. During those events, the
character loses the use of the Skill or Talent while it is being retrained.

39
Each unique in their beginnings, history, story, and song; the peoples of Baela each bring a rich and significant influence upon this world

The following details the requirements involved with choosing a character’s Ancestry, Origin and Culture.

Ancestries represent the different peoples of Baela and their unique appearances and capabilities. This is reflected by
Ancestral Phys-Rep (Physical Representation) Requirements, Advantages and Disadvantages.

Ancestral Phys-Rep Requirements

These requirements, made up of make-up and/or prosthesis, are the broadest representation of attributes that all
members of a race share; the outlined phys-rep requirements must always be worn.

Example: All Evarra characters must wear small-pointed ears prosthetics.

Advantages
An ancestry’s unique traits, gifts or proficiencies represent their advantage through various Skills; these Skills cannot be
retrained, and characters gain all advantages for their chosen ancestry at character creation.

Disadvantages
An ancestry’s flaws, vulnerabilities, shortcomings, or physical weaknesses represent their disadvantage; a character gains
all disadvantages for their chosen ancestry at character creation.

The unique variations that occur within an ancestry create origins. Origins of the same race share the same base
attributes and requirements but also have traits unique to their kin representing how they have developed and adapted in
different ways. This is reflected in each Origin’s Phys-Rep Requirements and Abilities.

Origin Phys-Rep Requirements

These requirements represent the shared attributes for members of the same Origin and vary from culture to culture;
these phys-reps requirements must always be worn. Optional Phys-Rep Requirements are not mandatory but are a
means to increase immersion or add to a character’s appearance.

Example: Unbrokk’n Humans all wear war-paint, with each tribe having different designs and colours.

Origin Abilities
These unique abilities have been developed by the choices and physiological adaptations that a people have made that
have allowed them to diverge from other members of their race. These abilities are added to a character in addition to
racial advantages and disadvantages at character creation.

Cultures represent the different factions within an Origin. Cultures can be represented as tribes, clans, city states, etc.
and provide a character with lore and appearance but no additional rules.

Culture Phys-Rep Requirements

These requirements represent the appearance that members of the same culture share. They provide a basic outline
which can be elaborated on; these phys-rep requirements must always be worn. Optional Phys-Rep Requirements are
not mandatory but act to increase immersion or add to a character’s appearance.

Phys-reps defined by an Ancestry, Origin or Culture cannot be worn by a character outside of that Ancestry,
Origin or Culture.

Talents represent a significant expertise or capability the character has acquired; these range greatly in power,
potential and flavour. Talents are purchased with Talent Points; the effects and costs are noted in each Talent entry
and each Talent can only be purchased once.

New characters begin play with 3 Talent Points, and an additional 1 Talent Point is earned every odd level.
Additional Talent Points may be purchased with Skill Points by purchasing the “Talented” skill.

If a Talent grants access to a skill that the character has already purchased, the points spent on that skill are immediately
refunded.

Skill sets represent a path chosen by the character that defines a themed set of skills at which they excel. This is
represented by each skill set having its own list of varying costs for each skill available as well as 3 themed talents
for the character to choose from, in addition to their chosen class talents. These variable costs represent how well
each skill set interacts with the skills available. Once a skill set is chosen, a character may only purchase Skill Set
talents from their chosen Skill Set.

If a character’s skill set represents a path they have taken in their life, then their class determines the means in which they
travel that path. Once chosen, a character may only choose Class Talents from their chosen Class.

A force exists in all things, born from the Vael, its reaches are beyond vast and far. To some it is nothing more than trickery and illusion but
to most it is a power that should not be underestimated. To those who wield it, it can be a boon or a curse; this force is known as Magic.

Magic is a force that may be wielded by characters in many ways; the following details the specifics and requirements for
those choose to follow the path of the arcane.

There are seven dominions of magic: Flame, Storm, Wilds, War, Vael, Heavens and Blood. Each one has a unique set of
spells including a cantrip, a signature spell and fourteen other spells.

Upon gaining access to a dominion, a character gains use of both the cantrip and the signature spell for the selected
dominion, and they may purchase the remaining spells for that dominion. All spells require a single spell from a lesser
tier of the same dominion to be purchased as a prerequisite before purchasing.

For example: A character wishing to purchase a Tier 2 spell from the Dominion of Flame requires a Tier 1 spell also
from the Dominion of Flame to be already purchased.

Any character who has purchased or has been granted access to a Dominion of Magic or spells is a caster for all
purposes. Casters are vulnerable to the Disrupt damage type and receive 2x damage from Disrupt attacks that affect
their Body Points.

A Conduit is an item with which the caster has a special bond. It may be a treasured heirloom, an artifact, or any other
object of significance. The bond between caster and conduit is what allows a caster to concentrate their magical
potential. A caster without their conduit is akin to a warrior without a weapon, only able to use the most basic of
abilities.

The Bond
A caster requires an active bond with their conduit to cast any spell other than Cantrips and Signature Spells. Conduits
are considered bonded to their owners at the beginning of every event.

Conduit Phys-Reps
Conduits can be represented by an item of the player’s choice. Conduits are typically an item between the sizes of a large
amulet at its smallest and a large book at its largest. Conduit phys-reps must be approved by the plot team and cannot be
phys-repped with any sort of weapon, shield or armour. Conduits are not directly tagged items and can never be taken or
looted from a caster.

Creating a Bond:
A bond can be formed with a conduit in one of two ways:
Completing a recovery session while concentrating on the conduit or spending 2 Focus and a completing a 100 count

Breaking a Bond:
A bond can be broken in the following ways:
-The caster dies and resurrects
-A Dispel effect is used on a caster
-A Deactivate effect is used on the Conduit
(The Deactivate effect may only be used on a caster’s Conduit while the caster is restrained or in their Wounded or
Bleeding states)

94
Spells count as activated abilities for all purposes and follow the anatomy of an ability save for the following differences:

Cantrips – Each dominion has a single spell that can be cast at will without cost. These spells have a reduced incant
consisting of only the name and effect where applicable.

Signature – Each dominion has a single tier 2 spell that is unlocked when the dominion has been purchased.

Tiers 1-5 – A spell’s tier is tied to its relative power level, and higher tier spells come with increased Focus cost.

Incants are the verbal requirements to cast a spell and are noted in each spell entry. They must be spoken clearly and said
before the spell is delivered.

Incants are divided into three sections: Dominion Immersion, Spell Name and the Effect.

Example incant:
“Khal Verrak Kamorr – Touch of Renewal – 5 Healing”
(Dominion Immersion) – (Spell Name) – (Effect)

Flame – “Sathula Bria” (/Saw-Thoo-La/ /Bree-Ya/)

Storm – “Borras Kora Sol” (/Boar-Ross/ /Kore-Ah/ /Sawl/)
Wilds – “Khal Verrak Kamorr” (/Call/ /Ver-Rock/ /Ka-More/)
War – “Valka Batalus” (/Vaul-Ka/ Ba-Tall-Us/)
Vael – “Aelos Sehn Bella” (/Ae-Lows/ /Sen/ /Bell-Ah/)
Heavens – “Ona Rell Aura” (/Own-Ah/ /Rell/ /Oar-Ah/)
Blood – “Ilya Quill Berah” (/Ill-Yah/ /Kwil/ /Ber-Awe/)

Prior to casting a spell, the caster must be attuned to their conduit and have the required amount of Focus available. If
both of those prerequisites are met, the steps are as follows:

Step 1) Recite the Dominion Immersion, the Spell Name and the Effect
Step 2) Deliver the spell as noted in the spell entry
Step 3) Subtract the amount of Focus to cast the spell from their current Focus pool

A character may only have a single instance of a spell active upon them at one time. Spells that grant a character
Temporary Armour Points or Temporary Body Points are considered active until the points are depleted, recasting a
spell on a target that has one currently active will only replenish the granted points. Spells with the Held duration may be
cast in accordance with the number of weapons and/or shields currently wielded.

Casters are allowed to have packets readied for spell casting, which is usually done in between the fingers of a clenched
fist and is referred to as Channeling.

To other characters in game this represents a caster calling forth a large amount of magical power to be used
immediately.

95
Casters may begin an event with any spells active upon them that they have access to; it is assumed that the caster cast
the spells before the event began. All spells applied in this way cost no Focus save for spells with Constant durations.

Casters may practice throwing packets by stating, “0 Magic” when thrown. This does not consume any Focus and deals
no damage.

Scrolls are a consumable form of magic where spells are crafted into limited use items.

A character does not have to be a caster or require a conduit to use a scroll but must have the Arcane Literacy Skill.
Scrolls only contain spells from Tiers 1 through 5 from each dominion, cantrip and signature spells cannot be cast using
a scroll.

All scrolls must be activated using the Activate effect to be used and will become deactivated if the character carrying
them becomes the target of a Dispel effect.

To use a scroll, a character must perform the following:

Step 1) Ensure the scroll is activated using the Activate effect
Step 2) Wield the scroll open in one or both hands
Step 3) Recite the Dominion Immersion, the Spell Name and the Effect
Step 4) Deliver the spell as noted in the spell entry (Not that spells cast with a “Constant” duration end at the beginning
of the target’s next recovery session.)
Step 5) The scroll is now consumed or subtract the amount of Focus to cast the spell from their current Focus pool
depending on the quality of the scroll

Enchanted items are weapons, shields, staffs and locks infused with magic and granted a variety of effects depending on
the enchantment used.

Any character may wield or use an enchanted item but they must be activated using the Activate effect to be used and
will become deactivated if the character wielding or carrying them becomes the target of a Dispel effect.

To seek and to find are skills that many possess but few are truly accel at; for those few, nothing but opportunities await

Auxiliary skills represent characters seeking out something in the world, how successful they are and the happenings that
occur while they are doing so. These skills include Gathering & Wildcraft, Whispers & Secrets, Income & Wealth and
Trade & Commerce. Characters may use these skills to seek out a variety of things such as resources, rumours, coin, or
merchants using a series of dice rolls and charts as explained below.

The character must first purchase the Basic Access skill for the desired auxiliary skill, which unlocks access to a skill,
points and benefits as noted in each auxiliary skill section This represents a character gaining a basic knowledge of the
skill without fully committing to it.

If the character wishes to unlock the auxiliary skill further, they may purchase Full Access skill for the desired auxiliary
skill, this grants additional Crafting & Production points and more benefits. This represents a character gaining an in-
depth knowledge of the skill and fully committing to it.

Points represent the character performing an auxiliary skill, the more points a character has access to, the more capable
and efficient they are in carrying out that skill. Auxiliary Skill points do not accumulate between events; any points left
unused are lost and the total is replenished at the beginning of each event.

Gathering & Wildcraft – Exploring the wilds to find natural resources

Whispers & Secrets – Venturing into the underbelly of society to find rumours
Income & Wealth – Working to earn coin in a variety of ways
Trade & Commerce – Finding not only merchants but the best deals they have

Every auxiliary skill grant 2 dice to begin and up to a total of 6 dice that may be unlocked. These dice are rolled, and the
results can be modified, depending on the characters Skills and/or Talents. The dice results determine both the success
of the seeking attempt as well as any Of A Kind results.

Each auxiliary skill has a series of charts that outline the point required to make a seeking attempt, the amount of
rewards the character receives as well as the dice totals required to be successful.

120
After the success of the roll has been determined, the “Of A Kind” results are resolved. These results group any similar
numbers on the rolled dice and the appropriate “Of A Kind” chart, depending on the auxiliary skill and type of search, is
reviewed.

All results between 2 Of a Kind up to 6 Of a Kind have a unique themed result associated with them ranging from
finding items or rolling on other auxiliary skill charts to getting lost or gaining negative effects. The following is an
example of an Of A Kind chat.

"It is always wise to count what you collect in the forest, it and it's inhabitants can be as generous as they are enigmatic."

"On the wooded path ahead, something peculiar catches your eye."

"You discover a plentiful grove and within it you find a small bounty of the forest."

"As you are exploring the forest, you are witness to an occurance."

"Traversing the forest takes a toll not only on a gatherer but their gear as well; your bags have delveoped a tear and possibly allowed precious resources to be left somewhere behind."

"As you are wandering the forest, you find you lose your bearings and cannot retrace your steps, you become lost for a time."

Expertises represent additional abilities that affect the success of seeking rolls or add a different bonus appropriately
themed with the skill

Step 1) Choose what you seek

Determine what you wish to seek, most often this will be a choice of Common, Uncommon, Scarce or Rare varieties of
what you can seek but in some cases there is a specific type to be chosen.

Step 2) Spend Points

You must have sufficient points to search for what you want, each type of seeking attempt requires a different amount
of points depending on the scarcity or likeliness of finding it.

Step 3) Roll Dice

Roll dice to determine if you find what you are looking for and what has occurred during your searching. All characters
start with 2 dice but this may be increased in multiples of 2 dice to a maximum of 6,

Step 4) Apply Modifiers

If the character has access to any modifiers, they are now applied to the dice

Step 4) Determine Success and receive amounts

Once the final results of the dice have been determined, the amounts of all the dice are totaled and compared to the
success amounts. A character can be successful where they receive the normal dice amount, a character may be very
successful where they receive the maximum amount and a character may be unsuccessful, receiving only the amount that
a successful common search would receive.

Step 6) Determine “Of A Kind” Results and apply

The final results also determine the Of a kind results, this is done by grouping all similar numbers on the dice from 2 of
a kind to 6 of a kind. The appropriate chart is consulted and any Of A Kind results are applied.

Note that some of skills have additional steps, these are noted in the systems and where they appear in the flow.

121
To find, to seek and to venture out into the wilderness and find the elusive, the hidden and the rare is everything to a gatherer. Some do
it for the coin, some for the means it provides and for others it is simply the thrill of the find. Those with the talent and knowledge of the
wilds are often sought out for their skills and eye for the precious commodities of nature

Gathering & Wildcraft allows a character to explore a variety of environments and find resources within them. It is
the ability to procure a handful of plentiful resources to tracking down the rarest and most valuable resources the
wilds have to offer.

Characters gain the following when purchasing Basic and Full Access to Gathering & Wildcraft:

Basic Access
-Access to Seek Resources
-The character may choose a single Gathering Type

Full Access
-The character gain an additional 10 Gathering & Wildcraft Points
-The character can purchase Lesser Gathering & Wildcraft Expertises
-The character can purchase Greater Gathering & Wildcraft Expertises
-The character can purchase additional Gathering and Wildcraft Points

Resources require different means and know how to find in abundance, depending on what they are and where
they can be found. Gatherer Types define what kind of gatherer the character is and divides the resources into
similar groups as seen on the chart below; a character may only gather resources within the Gatherer Type(s) they
have access to.

122
Searching for resources is determined by a roll of 2 six-sided dice. A character must choose the resource they wish to
search for and have access to via their available Gatherer Type(s). The rarity of the resource determines both the roll
required to find it and the amount of that resource they find if they are successful. The roll result after modifiers must be
equal to or greater than the roll value required to determine the success.

Lesser Expertise allow a character to modify results of Seek Resources rolls as well as unlock additional Gathering
Types. Each expertise may only be purchased once unless otherwise noted.

multiple times to a maximum of 2 times.

123
A character may increase the number of Gathering & Wild Craft points they have access to; each purchase of the skill
permanently increases the character’s total Gathering & Wild Craft points by 10. This represents the character having the
experience and know-how to be able to find more and rarer resources more efficiently.

Gathering & Wild Craft points do not accumulate between events; any points left unused are lost and the total is
replenished at the beginning of each event.

The environments that one can search all come with their own unique risks and rewards. After the success of a Seeking
Resources roll has been determined, the “Of A Kind” results are resolved. These results group any similar numbers on
the rolled dice and the appropriate “Of A Kind” chart of the Gathering Type is reviewed.

All results between 2 Of a Kind up to 6 Of a Kind have a unique themed result associated with them ranging from
finding items or rolling on other auxiliary skill charts to getting lost or gaining negative effects.

124
In any society there is a flow of information hidden from the ears of most. Some truths can be filtered out from the rumours and hearsay, but
petty lies and falsehoods hold the greatest sway in such a torrent of information. Most can only listen and observe, but those who are able to
influence, decipher and manipulate that which travels in hushed voices in dark corners hold a great amount of power

Whispers & Secrets allows a character to seek out rumours and information. It is simply learning what is being said in
the whispers around you, finding valuable information and the power it holds.

The rumours that exist and are introduced into this system are the basis for the gossip that NPC’s may have heard and
will interact with. Characters are free to spread rumours and misinformation as they wish in game without access and/or
investment in Whispers & Secrets. NPCs may still react to rumours, truths or information originating in game from
outside this system.

Characters gain the following when purchasing Basic and Full Access to Whispers & Secrets:

Basic Access

Full Access

Seek Rumours
Searching for rumours is determined by a roll of 2 six-sided dice. A character must choose the type of rumour they wish
to seek, the rarity of the rumour determines both the roll required to find it and the amount of rumours they find if they
are successful. The roll result after modifiers must be equal to or greater than the roll value required to determine the
success. The character may commit any rumours they receive to paper if they have the Literacy skill.

125
Lesser Expertise allow a character to modify results of Seek Rumours rolls as well as increase the number of rumours
they receive. Each expertise may only be purchased once unless otherwise noted.

their power, influence, and connections.

Whispers & Secrets points do not accumulate between events; any points left unused are lost and the total is replenished
at the beginning of each event.

The connections and something one must make to gather their information all come with their own unique risks and
rewards. After the success of a Seeking Rumours roll has been determined, the “Of A Kind” results are resolved. These
results group any similar numbers on the rolled dice and the appropriate “Of A Kind” chart is reviewed.

All results between 2 Of a Kind up to 6 Of a Kind have a unique themed result associated with them ranging from
finding additional rumours or rewards to getting injured in pursuit of rumours or gaining negative effects.

126
Coin, it is what keeps food on tables, soldiers fighting, fires burning and makes the world turn. There are those who simply wish to earn
enough to get by and there are those with the drive and ambition to make real coin and do whatever it takes to earn it, for a light purse is a
heavy curse

Income & Wealth provides characters with a variety of ways to earn coin. It represents doing work and labour to earn a
small amount of copper for covering expenses and, with improvement, earning a large amount of money through
different careers that come both risk and reward.

to seek, the rarity of the rumour determines both the roll required to find it and the amount of rumours they find if they
are successful. The roll result after modifiers must be equal to or greater than the roll value required to determine the
success.

127
Each career path has a unique set of themed possibilities when earning income through the Of A Kind results after each
Seeking Income roll.

Adventuring
The character has found a passion in embarking on grand adventures filled with exploring and finding treasures.

Blood Sport

at the beginning of each event.

128
The careers paths that one chooses all come with their own unique risks and rewards. After the success of a Seeking
Income roll has been determined, the “Of A Kind” results are resolved. These results group any similar numbers on the
rolled dice and the appropriate “Of A Kind” chart is reviewed.

All results between 2 Of a Kind up to 6 Of a Kind have a unique themed result associated with them ranging from
gaining additional coin or items or rolling on other auxiliary skill charts to becoming injured or gaining negative effects.

129
Every economy is driven by the exchange of goods and coin and there are always those who wish to capitalize on such endeavors. To buy low
and sell high, to find those ever-elusive deals and to haggle to their hearts content when they cannot is what gets every merchant’s heart pumping

Trade & Commerce allows a character to seek out merchants and purchase items from them. It represents, at first,
finding merchants peddling a few basic items for a higher price to eventually finding merchants carrying top quality
wares willing to barter a better price.

Characters gain the following when purchasing Basic and Full Access to Trade & Commerce:

-The character can purchase additional Trade & Commerce Points
-The character receives all Buy Lists

Searching for merchants is determined by a roll of 2 six-sided dice. A character must choose the type of merchant they
wish to seek, the rarity of the items they wish to purchase determines both the roll required to find it and the amount of
item stock the merchant has if they are successful. The roll result after modifiers must be equal to or greater than the roll
value required to determine the success.

Each rarity of merchant has a different list of items to sell; typically the rarer the merchant, the more higher quality items
they will have. Merchants found using Trade & Commerce will only sell items to characters and never buy; to sell items
in game, a character must find PCs or NPCs to purchase their items.

When a character successfully seeks out merchants, the player must roll to determine the amount of item stock each
merchant has. This is determined by rolling the appropriate die for each rarity of merchant as seen in the charts above.
The merchant will carry that amount of each item in their inventory.

Each rarity of merchant has a separate list of items they have available known as a Buy List. Every character that
purchases Full Access to Trade & Commerce will receive these lists.

means and know-how to find the best merchants and the rarest as well as the highest quality items to buy.

Trade & Commerce points do not accumulate between events; any points left unused are lost and the total is replenished
at the beginning of each event.

The journey to find merchants can be as exciting as the bartering and has it’s own unique risks and rewards. After the
success of a Seeking Merchants roll has been determined, the “Of A Kind” results are resolved. These results group any
similar numbers on the rolled dice and the appropriate “Of A Kind” chart is reviewed.

All results between 2 Of a Kind up to 6 Of a Kind have a unique themed result associated with them ranging from
getting free item samples or rolling on other auxiliary skill charts to getting lost or gaining negative effects.

132
Some see it as an art passed down from master to apprentice, others see it as a means of opportunity and occupation, but all know it is a skill
that requires time, patience, and a determination to create. It is expected of some, a mantle passed down for them to bear; for others, it is a
calling, to become their lives work and passion.

Crafting & Production is the means to create items within the game, these items range from weapons to potions to
magical scrolls and everything in between.

When purchasing a Crafting & Production Access skill, a character must choose which Trade they wish to access:
Smithing, Alchemy or Enchantment.

The character must first purchase Crafting & Production Basic Access, which unlocks access to a Trade, Crafting &
Production points and benefits as noted in each Trade section This represents a character gaining a basic knowledge of
the Trade without fully committing to it.

If the character wishes to unlock the Trade further, they may purchase Crafting & Production Full Access, this grants
additional Crafting & Production points and more benefits. This represents a character gaining an in-depth knowledge
of the Trade and fully committing to it.

Within each Trade there are several specialties; these represent the specialized training and paths of a specific Trade.
Character gains additional bonuses to represent their knowledge and experience through their craft, these are known as
Techniques and Expertise. Techniques are limited to individual Specialties, but Expertises are known by all character
with access to a Trade.

Queue slots allow for items to be crafted over 2 or more events rather than 1. Can also be used to memorize recipes,
designs or compositions. Characters who purchase have at least Basic Access to a Trade have 1 Queue slot for each
accessed Trade.

A character may increase the number of Crafting & Production Points they have access to beyond the initial points
granted when purchasing Basic and Full Access to a Trade, they may purchase the Crafting and Production Points skill.
It may be purchased multiple times.

Purchasing this skill permanently increases the character’s available Crafting & Production Points by 10. Each Trade uses
its own Crafting & Production Points and only points from a Trade the character has access to may be increased. A
character must choose which Trade the points are being allocated to when purchasing the skill.

Crafting & Production points (CPP) do not accumulate between events; any points left unused are lost and the total is
replenished at the beginning of each event.

133
Designs, Recipes and Compositions are the written instructions on how to create items from Smithing, Alchemy and
Enchanting respectively. Every item has 3 quality variations, and each has its own unique requirements to craft; the tag
for each includes the following:

Name
Trade and Specialty Required
Resources Required
Crafting & Productions Points Required
Crafting & Productions Points Required to Memorize
Item Description and Effects

To create an item, a character must have the Design, Recipe, or Composition tag of the item they wish to when they are
in logistics before an event.

Designs, Recipes and Compositions can be memorized; once memorized, a tagged recipe is no longer required to create
an item. A character may memorize any recipe from their trade for 25 CPP at logistics, the character requires a tag of the
Design, Recipe, or Composition they wish to memorize.

Designs, Recipes and Compositions may also be created from those the crafter has memorized or if they wish to copy
one they possess. To do so, the character must pay the standard quality amount CPP cost of the item, have the Literacy
skill, and a tag of the Design, Recipe or Composition will be created.

Mastery Points represent the experience and learning a character gains as they work a specialty within a Trade, eventually
this allows them to create higher quality crafts. Every time a character spends Crafting & Productions Points within a
specialty they earn Mastery Points, when a character has accumulated 500 and 1000 Mastery Points, they are able to craft
Superior and Masterwork items within that specialty.

Before crafting an item, a character must choose the level of quality they wish the item to be. This determines the value,
the time and the skill needed to create it, the higher the quality, the better the item.

Each type of item has its own variety of benefits with quality, but they all follow these requirements:

Standard Quality:
A standard quality item requires Common and/or Uncommon resources and the standard quality amount of Crafting &
Production Points noted in the Design, Recipe or Composition to create.

Superior Quality:
A superior quality item requires Uncommon and/or Scarce resources and x5 the standard quality amount of Crafting &
Production Points noted in the Design, Recipe or Composition to create.

Masterwork Quality
A masterwork quality item requires Scare and/or Rare resources and x10 the standard amount of Crafting & Production
Points noted in the Design, Recipe or Composition to create.

Resources are required to craft items of every sort, they can be purchased, found or collected through the Gathering &
Wild Craft skill. Each Design, Recipe and Composition will detail the various resources that can be used in an item’s
creation and will be noted on its tag.

134
There are two different ways to craft items and they both occur at logistics. Normal Crafting involves having all the
necessary requirements for the item and creating it at logistics. Queue Crafting involves having all the necessary
requirements save for sufficient Crafting & Production Points and working on the item slowly over the course of
multiple events, adding more Crafting & Production Points whenever the character wishes.

Normal Crafting
Step 1) Choose an item to craft
Step 2) Have the design, recipe or formula (tagged item or memorized)
Step 3) Choose item quality
Step 4) Have all resources required
Step 5) Have sufficient Crafting & Production Points
Step 6) Item created and item tag is created

Queue Crafting:
Step 1) Choose an item to craft
Step 2) Have the design, recipe or formula (tagged item or memorized)
Step 3) Choose item quality
Step 4) Have all resources required
Step 5) Have at least 1 Crafting & Production Point
Step 6) Have an available Queue slot
Step 7) Item is placed in Queue slot
Step 8) Crafting & Production Points are added over multiple events
Step 9) Item is completed once sufficient Crafting & Production Points have been added and item tag is created

The process of taking raw metals, woods and hide and forging them into weapons, armour, shields and locks has been a skill passed down
from smith to smith for ages. Embarking upon this path will grant a character a means to build, upkeep and enhance creations of their own

Smithing allows a character to learn to work raw metal, wood and leather into weapons, armour, shields and locks. This
process not only teaches a smith to craft and create items but also learn valuable techniques and expertise.

Characters gain the following when purchasing Basic and Full Access to Smithing:
Basic Access
-Access to a single Smithing Specialty (Weapon Smithing, Armour Smithing, Shield Smithing or Lock Smithing)

Wielding and manipulating magic with one's hands and mind is one thing, binding that magic to an item is wholly another. Enchanters are
the medium between those gifted with wielding magic and those who cannot, they bring arcane and artifice together as one

Enchanting allows a character to harness the hidden power of Aethyr and bind it to items and parchment alike. From
that binding, items become more powerful while parchment holds within them the power of spells, waiting to be cast.

Enchanted items work differently than other items in terms of how their tags are interacted with. All enchanted items
will be marked as having a magical aura on their tag.

Identify
Characters with the means to identify an enchanted item can complete the requirements specific to their means and
check its tag to reveal what enchantments the item has. This can be done to inform the character to whether or not they
will want to activate the item. After this is complete, the player must return the tag to its normal state. Note that an
enchanted item does not need to be identified to be activated.

Activate
Characters with the means to activate an item can complete the requirements specific to their means and remove the tag
and change it to its activated facing. The enchantments the item has become active at the time of activation and will
affect the activator if relevant. All enchanted items must be activated to use their enchantments.

Deactivate
Characters with the means to deactivate an item can complete the requirements specific to their means and remove the
tag and change it to its normal facing. The enchantments on the item will become inactive at the time of deactivation.

Enchanter’s Boon
Enchanters take upon themselves a portion of the magic they release from Aethyr and can channel it into a means of attack.
Enchanters may throw a single packet dealing 1 Magic damage to a target at will.

Disenchant
Enchanters, when in need, can draw out the magic empowering an item, leaving it’s vessel nothing but dust and ruin
Enchanters can remove an enchantment from an enchanted item and recover some of the Aethyr used in its creation.
Once the item is chosen, at logistics, the player will be given a single six-sided die (D6) for each type of Aethyr the
enchantment was made from. For each roll of a 6 or 5, one unit of that Aethyr is returned to the character and the
disenchanted item as well. For example: An enchantment is made up of 10 Bright Aethyr, 10 D6 would be rolled for the
Bright Aethyr, and the player rolls 2 6’s and a 5 amongst the results; they would receive three units of Bright Aethyr and
the disenchanted item while the rest of the Aethyr would be lost.

Distill
Enchanters can draw the essence from weaker shards of Aethyr and purify it into a more potent and powerful state
Enchanters may take Aethyr and distill it to a purer state. Once the player has chosen the type of Aethyr they wish to
distill, at logistics they may convert 5 units of that Aethyr into one unit of the next highest rarity of Aethyr. For example:
An enchanter chooses to distill Dark Aethyr (Common Rarity) into Faint Aethyr (Uncommon Rarity), it would require 5
units of Dark Aethyr to distill into 1 unit of Faint Aethyr.

The Artificer can restore any broken Armour, Weapon, Shield or Lock by spending a si Bright Aethyr and completing a
100 restoration count (Restoring 1…Restoring 2…Restoring 3…) Upon completion of the count, the Artificer must
state, “Armour/Weapon/Shield/Lock Restore.” Alternatively, an Artificer may pay 6 Focus in addition to the Bright
Aethyr and reduce the count from 100 to 10. After the count, the armour, weapon, shield or lock will no longer be

Mortals calling out to the gods with a request, they hold out the price to be paid with an eager hope; with they receive an answer or silence

Rites represent a calling upon of the higher powers to aid mortals in times of great need. Specific individuals can call
upon by their patrons with an offering and follow that by completing a series of collaborative tasks to provide a desired
effect if they are successful.

Patron Rites – Rites available to casters of a certain patron

Generic Rites – Any patron can power this rite using their appeasement and requirement costs. There are 10 that
must be researched

The character that knows and leads the rite is referred to as the initiator and a rite’s instructions specify what is required
of them.

Name
The name of the Rite

Patron
The name of the Patron empowering the Rite

Effect
The specific effect that will occur if the appeasement and requirement costs are correct paid and enacted.

Appeasement Cost
Rites begin when the character has provided the correct offering to appease said Patron. The initiating character brings
the offering to plot camp and informs the plot team that they wish to perform the rite. The initiating character will then
be informed if the Patron has accepted the offering. Once this has happened, the initiating character will receive further
instructions to continue the Rite.

Requirement Costs
Tagged items, Specific participants possibly selected by race, origin, star sign, worship, etc. Specific role play such as
actions taken individually or as a group

Success: Each Rite has both success and failure conditions. The initiator and additional characters can attempt to fulfill
these requirements and their ability to complete them successfully will determine their level of success.

Diseases represent the threats that cannot be seen nor defeated with sword or magic. It infects young, old, healthy, sick, poor, and rich
alike. It can be the end of just one unlucky soul or the demise of entire populations.
Diseases are an affliction that can bring about several different effects upon a character. There are a variety of
diseases that are prevalent within the world, and each has its own means of transmission, severity, duration, and
cures.
If a character is infected with a disease, the player will be informed by a member of plot camp and instructed on its
effects and how to properly role play the affliction. Not all characters who are exposed will be infected; successful
infections are determined at plot camp dependent on the disease.
All diseases can be removed, and each has a different way to do so. This can possibly be done directly with a
treatment or cure, a specific amount of time has passed, the character has resurrected and so on.
An example of a disease can be seen below:

A hastily spread contagion often found amongst the poor that manifests in boils and sores that leaves its victims frail and weak.
Description: Victims of Pauper’s Pox are most often onset with reddish sores and blisters with most typically
yellowed or green pus that are very painful if lanced or ruptured. Most often this infection is the result of improper
or lack of basic hygiene and contact with other infected individuals. Fortunately, for most the sores and blisters
pass leaving little to no scarring but it in some rare and severe cases the affected areas will be left raw and difficult
to heal, resulting in the area being very susceptible to becoming affected again.

Effect: The diseased character’s Body Points are reduced by 5 to a minimum of 5 while afflicted with Pauper’s
Pox. If the disease persists for 2 events, the character will no longer suffer from the disease at the end of the 2nd
event.
Rarity: Common

Lethality: Pauper’s Pox is not a deadly disease.

Transmission: Contact with targets afflicted with Pauper’s Pox.

Duration: Lasts until the diseased character is cured of Pauper’s Pox, suffers a death, or 2 events have elapsed,
whichever occurs first.

Make Up Requirements: Makeup or prosthetics resembling sores and blisters on all exposed flesh.

Roleplay Requirements: None

Hexes represent the more chaotic and malicious forces of magic in the world and beyond, ones that cannot be controlled nor wielded by mortals.
They are often seen as challenges as much as they are afflictions to overcome; many a tale and legend have been told of those who have and have
not survived these trials.

Hexes are magical afflictions that can bring about several different effects or occurrences upon a character. There are a
variety of Hexes that can present themselves in this world and the Vael; each has its own source, duration and means of
removal.

If a character is successfully afflicted with a Hex, the player will be informed by a member of plot camp and instructed
on its effects and how to properly role play the affliction.

All Hexes can be broken, and each has a different way to do so. This can possibly be done directly with a magical
breaking, a specific amount of time has passed, the character has overcome a challenge and so on.

An example of a hex can be seen below:

Wielding the power of the Vael grants the means to step from one world to the next, these unfortunate souls are caught in between

Description: The survivors of the Hex of the Waking Eye often recount that their excursions within the Vael continue
as they return to Baela. A part of their mind, a thought, a dream, or a hope still remaining with the Vael, binding them
there. This can be quite a harrowing experience as there is nothing to protect them from the denizens of the Vael that
wander The Looking Glass, leaving them beyond vulnerable. This Hex’s name refers to not only the fact that dreams
and nightmares can be seen outside of one’s own mind but a particular marking adorns the forehead of the inflicted, one
that most often appears as an open eye that can only be seen by those who can peer into the Vael.

Effect: The Hexed character can always be seen, heard and interacted with by any character or creature wearing a purple
headband as well as interact with items marked with a purple ribbon.

Source: Entering or exiting a Vael Rift

Duration: Until the Hex is broken

Make Up Requirements: Purple makeup on the forehead resembling a large eye shape

Roleplay Requirements: None

The means to keep precious items or privacy secret and safe is done by protecting them with a barrier of metal and artifice. Like any
other obstacle, it can be brought down or disabled by those determined to make what lies beyond the lock theirs.

Locks are represented in game by lock phys reps provided by the plot team whenever a character purchases or
finds a lock.

**Lock Phys Rep Description and pictures incoming with full rulebook release**

Keys are tagged items that have unique alphanumeric codes as noted on their tags, for example 1A; a key with a
matching code to a lock will open it

All locks are levels 1, 2 or 3 and each level requires a different size of Lock Pick Phys Rep to open, otherwise it is
no different than the other levels of locks.

Using a Key
Locks may be opened using a corresponding key that bears a matching code to the lock the character is attempting
to open. The key phys-rep must be touched to the lock and a three count (unlocking 1…unlocking 2…unlocking
3) to open it.
The door or chest the lock is connected to will remain unlocked and may be opened freely while the lock is open.
Breaking a lock
A lock may be only broken open using the Sunder effect. After a lock has been broken, the dowel must be
removed from its socket to show that the door or chest is open, and the tag changed to the proper state. A broken
lock must be restored before it can be closed again.
Note that, depending on a loc’s quality, not all locks can be sundered, always check a lock’s tag before attempting
to break it.
Picking a lock:
Every lock has 4 tumblers (hex screws), these can be picked by a Lock Pick Phys Rep (hex key) supplied by the
plot team with each level of lock (Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3) each requiring a different size of hex key to pick.
These lock phys-reps require all the tumblers to be fully extended/screwed out to be considered picked. After a
lock has been fully picked, the dowel must be removed from its socket to show that the door or chest is open. A
lock that has been picked open must be reset before it can be locked again.

Note that not all locks cannot be picked unless a character has the appropriate talents or skills, always check a
lock’s tag before attempting to pick.
If a lock is opened via breaking or picking, the chained dowel on the lock phys-rep must be removed from the lock
and allowed to hang. This represents that the door or chest the lock is placed on, can be opened freely. This dowel
cannot be reinserted until the lock has been restored or reset respectively.

155
The lock smith may reset a picked lock by screwing all the extended tumbler screws back into the lock. They must
do this using the pick tool and after it has been reset, the lock may be closed again.

A lock may be attached to any door or chest by placing it on the handle or latch respectively. In the case of doors,
locks can only prevent entry from the direction the lock is placed. For example, a lock placed on the outside facing
of a door would prevent entry from the outside of the building whereas a lock placed on the inside facing would
prevent an exit from the inside.

Only a single lock may be placed on a chest or on each facing of a door; locks may only be removed from doors
and chests when the lock is opened with its matching key or if a locksmith has opened it using the Lock Mapping
Technique.
