 Introduction to the Rules Guide
The Chronicles of Rowanon is a live action role-playing game (LARP) taking place in a
high-fantasy and steampunk setting. It is a game where someone can let their imagination run
free and where the possibilities for interpersonal interaction are endless. The game takes place on
the world of Rowanon, a mystical realm where magic, steampowered technology, and medieval
themes are abundant. Our story begins in Vorydia, one of the many kingdoms of this realm.
Vorydia is in the northern continent of Tristas, where unknown dangers lurk. Legends say that
over 500 years ago in Vorydia a town of heroes was locked away by the gods, awaiting the
moment when the world needed them once again.
That is where the story starts, but the direction that it takes is in your hands. This Rules
Guide and the accompanying Lore Book are meant to help you interact with the game world as a
character of your choice. We came up with the mechanics and the background and well set up
the story, but where you take it, the amazing things that you will do, the things that you will
attempt that we couldnt even imaginethats all up to you.
A lot of experience went in to creating this Rules Guide. It wasnt just my LARPing
experience or that of the other Game Masters. It took a team of 8 rules developers and 8 lore
developers, as well as ideas from our friends, fellow LARPers, and supportive family members.
We learned a lot from our 4-year run as the Vorydian Chronicles, and combined that experience
with all of the new ideas to create something truly special. This is forall of us, you included, so
that we can have an epic time in a world of fantasy.
For the last year or so, Chronicles of Rowanon ran well. The story is great and the rules
worked. We played our first event without a single test run, and it worked. Since then, the CoR
Rules team, Game Masters, and other players have worked together to improve what we
originally wrote. Weve put a lot of time and effort into finding flaws, fixing wording, repairing
skills that were broken, empowering the weaker ones, coming up with new ideas, and finishing
projects that I always meant to complete. A lot of improvements have been made since this
guides initial release, and we hope that you enjoy using it as much as we enjoy making it.
As I sit here writing this, I am grateful for all the support, love, and assistance that I
received while putting this guide together. So, I say thank you, to those close to me, to those
that lent their creativity and time, and to anyone who showed any interest or support. The script
is written, the props are ready, and the stage is set, we only need but actors for the story to truly
begin to be told.
With Fondest Regard, Robin C. Kellogg

 Chapter 1: The Journey Begins
You are about to embark on a heroic adventure to the fantastic world of Rowanon. This is a
world where magic, mythical creatures, steam-powered technology, and divine beings are very
real and have integrated into everyday life. Stories are told of the many deeds of legendary
players that have made this world their home. And very soon, your story will be amongst them,
taking any path that you choose. However, to interact with this fantastic land, you must create a
persona for yourself. Your persona, or character, is how you
will live, fight, and grow in Rowanon. This character is you
part in the story of you will affect the world and how it will
affect you. To create a character there are some basics that
you must understand.

Pools
Your character has 3 pools of energy that are vital to their
existence. These pools are filled with a certain amount of
points that allow your character to do various things.
Vaea. This is your health pool. It is your connection to
the Vaean stream that flows through every living creature
in Rowanon and is the source of all natural life. When you
are hurt, you lose Vaea as your connection to the stream depletes. If your Vaea points drop to
0 then you enter your Death Count. Your Vaea can never go below 0, so any damage that
would drop you to a negative number, instead brings you to 0.
Aether. This is your magic pool. It is your connection to the Nexus, which is a magical plane
of existence that encompasses Rowanon and its divine planes. Aether allows you to cast
Spells. Each spell will require a certain amount of Aether to cast. As you cast spells, your
Aether pool will slowly decrease. If your Aether points reach 0, then you cannot cast spells
until you gain more Aether.
Steam. This is your pool of physical energy. It represents your ability to push your body
beyond its normal means to perform amazing feats of physical prowess. Steam allows you to
use Feats. Each feat will require a certain amount of Steam to use. As you use feats, your
Steam pool will slowly decrease. If you run out of Steam, then you cannot use feats until you
gain more steam.
Lives. This is the amount of times that you can be resurrected. You may lose lives when
returning through the Vaean Archway. If your character runs out of lives, then they are
permanently dead. Your character will lose 1 life every 50 levels of experience that they have
spent (this will never permanently kill you).
6
The Death Count
With danger around every corner, death is a very real threat in Rowanon. When your Vaea
reaches 0, your Death Count begins.
First Stage: When a person reaches 0 Vaea, they enter the First Stage of the Death Count.
At this stage, the character must roleplay as though their body is failing them. Your First
Stage Death Count lasts for 1 minute. While in the First Stage, you are still conscious of your
surroundings, and can see and hear normally. You can only talk at a whisper, and only move
at a weak crawl. You can heal yourself with alchemical concoctions. You cannot attack or
use any power or ability (unless stated otherwise). Most temporary and active effects do not
go away when you are dropped to your First Stage. During this time, any effect that would
heal your Vaea, will bring you back to life, healing you for whatever numerical value that
ability happens to grant. There is no limit to how many times a character can be healed and
brought out of their First Stage.
Second Stage: If you stay in your First Stage Death Count for the full 1-minute, then your
character enters the Second Stage of their Death Count. Your Second Stage Death Count
also lasts for 1 minute. During this time, normal healing effects will still work. However, in
your Second Stage your character goes unconscious and can no longer talk, move, hear or
see. Most active effects go away when you enter the Second Stage. There is no limit to how
many times a character can be healed and brought out of their Second Stage.
Third Stage: After 1 minute in your Second Stage, you enter the Third Stage or Critical
Stage of your Death Count. Your Third Stage Death Count lasts for 1 minute. During this
time, you are still unconscious and very near death. Breathing has stopped, the heart is barely
beating, and the brain is beginning to die. Normal healing will not bring you out of this stage
of death. You must receive a Life Effect to survive the Third Stage. A Life Effect can be
granted by certain powerful spells and abilities. It is important to note that you can only
receive 1 Life Effect per weekend. Meaning if you have already received one during an
event, a second life effect will not work on you if it is needed.
Death
After 1 minute in the Third Stage Death Count, your character is dead. At this point you have
two options. You may choose to have your characters soul stay with their body, basically
allowing you to stay where your characters corpse is so that you can see what happens to it, see
if someone comes along who can interact with the dead, or wait for someone with the rare ability
to grant life after death has long taken its toll. You may also choose for the characters soul to
leave their body. If you do this, the in-game body turns to dust, leaving behind only the physical
belongings that your character was carrying (except for soul-bound items because they stay with
the soul, not the body). Once you have left your characters body behind, you must go and find a
Marshal, usually at the NPC cabin, who can lead you through resurrection.
7
 Resurrection and Final Death
After your characters body turns to dust, you must find a Marshal and
inform them that your character died. The Marshal will speak with you
about the situation in which your character died, and bring you to the
Vaean Archway. The Vaean Archway is Morcants doorway, from
which the dead are bathed with Kallens power and granted life once
again. If you resurrect, then you will exit the archway, wearing spirit
robes (that give no mechanical benefit) granted to you from the
beyond, which will dissipate once your character puts on their regular
clothing or gear. Each character can only be resurrected a certain
amount of times. For this reason, the Marshal will mark this death off on your character
card. Although death can bring your character closer to final death, each resurrection could also
come with various boons, information, or in-game drama. Once a character has used up all their
lives and can no longer resurrect, they are granted 1 final chapter of their life. During this chapter
(which could be anywhere from 1 month to a year) the plot team is aware that your character is
reaching their end, and will begin to prepare for that. This death begins a storyline focused on
your character, leading to your characters permanent death or retirement. A character can mean
a lot to a player, so we understand that losing a character can often be difficult. For this reason,
we want to give each character an amazing end. So, avoid death if you can, but when it happens,
it will be epic.

Working on a Dead Body

There are certain skills that allow you to interact with a dead body, such as dissection. A dead
body can have 1 ability used on it per type of item that you are attempting to get. Each ability
must be used separately (unless stated otherwise). This means that a body past Third Stage can
be affected by 1 Component Gathering action, 1 Pool Point gathering action (Vaea, Aether, or
Steam), 1 Affinity gathering action, 1 Personal Buffing action, and 1 Drudging action. Other
actions might be possible, if they do not fall into any of the mentioned categories (talk to a rules
marshal before attempting). Search, identification, and healing abilities are not restricted by this
rule, and can be used on a dead body despite how many other actions were used.

 Chapter 2: Abilities and Experience
Characters are made up of many things. They are formed from imagination, a dash of
personality, a stash of costuming, a bit of inspiration, and, on a mechanical level, they are
comprised of starting stats and mechanical abilities.
Power Surge. Over the last 500 years, mortals have biologically changed to become closer with
the energy that courses through them. In the past, this was a rare gift inherited by birth or
a skill that was learned through hardship and trial. However, now it is something that all
mortals share. It is what allows them to channel energy into weapons, gadgets, song, or
eachother. It also fills them with something called the Power Surge. Mechanically
speaking, the power surge is something that happens every 7 hours. It fills both Aether
and Steam pools to full. This coincides with the NPC shifts at the event, so at the start of
every NPC shift your Steam and Aether pools refresh.
Experience Points. Everything that your character has done is added together to become what
they know and how they act. This is represented by an amount of Experience points.
Specific amounts of Experience points, or EXP, are gained at character creation and
earned at every event that you attend. Abilities are purchased using the EXP that you
build up.
Level. Your character level is determined by the amount of EXP that you have spent. Your
character has 1 level for every 10 exp spent. Character level is used for many different
mechanics.
Abilites. A term used to describe any mechanical in-game interactions. There are two main types
of Abilities in the Chronicles of Rowanon: Passive skills and Powers.
Passive Skills. Permanent abilities that give a constant effect.
Powers. Abilities that require a cost to be used. Chronicles of Rowanon has 4 main types of
Powers: Feats, Spells, Talents, and Rituals. These are separated by their cost. Certain
abilities may allow you to use a power for a different cost. Feats and spells are also
separated into Offensive, Defensive/Beneficial, and Tactical.
Spells: Magical powers that cost Aether. To cast a spell, you must speak the Spell
Verbal and spell name, and then spend the associated amount of Aether. You then have 5
seconds to throw your spell packet at your target. If your packet strikes your target, their
weapons, armor, or shield, then it is successful and you call the effect that hit them, the
amount of damage that they took, and/or the duration of the effect. Spells can be
interrupted. If you do not throw the packet in 5 seconds, miss your target, or are struck
with an attack while speaking your Spell Verbal or before you throw the packet, the spell
fails and the Aether that you spent to cast it is expended. There exist different ways of
delivering spells, but the base way to deliver offensive spells is via spell packet (also
called a bolt spell. Beneficial spells, such as healing, can also be delivered via Touch
9
 Cast, which works the same as packet casting, but you can touch your target rather than
throwing a packet.
Feats: Physical Powers that cost Steam. To use an offensive feat, you must strike your
target, call your feat name and effect, and spend the associated amount of steam. If you
miss or the feat is defended against, then the feat fails and the steam that you spent is lost.
You may only use 1 feat per weapon every 3 seconds. Many defensive feats are used in
reaction to an attack or ability. When struck by an attack, you have 5 seconds in which to
call out your defense.
Talents: Various powers that cost Time, meaning that you must spend a certain amount
of time roleplaying for the talent to take effect. All talents can be interrupted, in which
case the talent fails and will have to be restarted.
Rituals and Runes: Magical powers that cost Time, pool and/or a unique component.
The pool being used depends on the ritual. Like talents, rituals can be interrupted, in
which case the ritual fails and will have to be restarted. When casting a ritual, the pool
points are spent at the end. You can only have two active rituals on them at a time. You
can only have one rune applied to your person, and each item can only have one rune
applied to it.

10
 Chapter 3: Effects and Modifiers
Powers can do many things. Some powers may damage an opponent or
heal an ally. Other powers may afflict your enemy with status effects,
often simply called Effects. Effects are organized by Effect Category
and Effect Type.
Effect Category is a category used to organize Effect Types. An Effect
Category has no specific effect of its own. Effect Categories are what
many defenses work against, because they are general and broad.
Effect Types are the reactions to various powers and abilities. An
Effect Type has a specific effect that generally does not change, unless
altered by another ability. Some defenses work against specific Effect
Types, but anything that works on the Effect Types category will also
defend against the Type. Effect Types are generally one to two words.
This makes it so that an effect can easily be called and recognized in
combat without a long description. Some Effect Types are restricted to a
specific category, but most Effect Types can appear in any category.
Effect types have a set duration, but that duration can be altered by other
abilities.

Main Effect Categories

Physical. Applies to most Feats.
Magical. Applies to all Spells.
Mental. Varied powerful effects that work on the mind.
Biological. Varied powerful effects that work on the body, such as Poisons and Humors.

Most Common Effect Types

1 Minute Duration
Blind: You have lost your sight. You cannot fight, call defenses, see, read, or use scrolls.
Constrict: You are bound and cannot move anything from the neck down. While bound, you can
invoke Latent magical defenses, but cannot use feats.
Deaf: You have lost your hearing. Besides being unable to hear, your Spell Verbals take twice as
long to cast (casting time or syllables).
Enfeeble: One of your arms goes limp and loses all feeling. Your arm cannot be used.
Fear: You have been filled with a fear of your enemies. You must push yourself to fight them or
help your allies. You have an Aether and Steam deficiency of 1 and Talents take +1 min.
Hamstring: Your legs have been impaired. You can only walk heel-to-toe.
11
Imprisonment: Your body is trapped inside a dense shell of some kind. You are frozen in place,
and cannot move, speak, or use any abilities. However, you are also immune to all
damage and powers.
Ineptitude: Your mind is not connecting well with your body, stopping you from using your
skilled abilities. You cannot use any Power of a designated type.
Inert: One of your gadgets has been sapped of its energy. The gadget chosen by the attacker
does not work.
Invisibility: You are camouflaged, hidden, or turned invisible. You cannot be seen or interact
with anyone else. If you attack someone, you will become visible. In order to represent
being invisible, put an arm over your face in the opera cape position.
Pain: Your body is in immense pain. You can walk and defend yourself normally, but you
cannot attack, run, or use any powers.
Paralysis: Your body is paralyzed. You are frozen in place, and cannot speak, move, or use any
abilities.
Pin: Your legs are stuck to the ground where you are standing. You cannot move anything from
the waist down.
Rampage: Your mind is filled with rage and you see everyone around you as a threat that you
wish to eliminate. You cannot tell friend from foe and are forced to attack everyone
around you, starting with the closest person. If all targets are in their Death Count, you
will search for new targets.
Silence: You can no longer speak or cast spells.
Slowness: Your arms have been impaired. You can only make 1 swing per weapon every 5
seconds.
Taunt: You feel that your enemy has done something to deserve a brutal death. To the best of
your ability, you are compelled to attack the person who taunted you, and will attack no-
one else. However, you may defend yourself from other attackers. This effect will end if
your target drops into their Death Count.
Terror: You are deeply afraid of a single person, and are compelled to do everything that you
can to avoid them. You cannot attack or interact with that person, and will run away if
they approach you.
Other Durations
Charm: You are charmed to another target and now see them as friendly. You will not attack
that target unless they attack you first. You are not compelled to follow their orders or do
favors for them. Duration: 5 minutes.

12
Domination: Your mind is being controlled by someone else. You will follow all their
commands and protect them to the best of your ability, even if they have dropped. You
can never be forced to commit suicide, but can be forced to fight until you drop. You
will only follow the commands of others if commanded to by the original caster. This
effect will end if the original caster drops to their Second Stage Death Count or they
attack you. The caster of a Domination can only have 1 target dominated at a time. Lasts
15 minutes.
Duel: You are now locked in an Honor Combat. This generally affects 2 targets, and No-one
else can interfere or affect those 2 targets. Neither of you can move further than 20 feet
from the area that the Duel was enacted. You must damage eachother every 15 seconds or
the effect ends. The effect also ends when 1 person drops to 0 Vaea.
Incapacitate: You have taken a strong blow to the head and are knocked out. You safely fall to
the ground and cannot move, speak, or use any abilities. This effect will end if you take
5 or more damage or are affected by any offensive powers. Duration: 5 minutes.
Posession: You are possessed by an invading Spirit. This commonly works like a dominate, but
can only be defended against as a Posession. However, a possession is only successful if
the possessing entity is equal to or higher level than their target. Lasts 15 minutes OR
varies.
Stun: Youve taken a blow that has stopped you in your tracks. You cannot move, speak, or use
any abilities. This effect ends if you take 5 or more damage or are affected by any
offensive power. Duration: 5 seconds.
Traverse: A Traverse effect allows you to take a certain number of steps in 1 direction
completely unharmed. When you call your Traverse ability, you go OOG, count your
steps, and appear in our chosen spot. Most Traverse effects grant 10 steps. Powers
augmented by Speed can stop a Traverse effect.
Trip: You are knocked backwards onto the ground. Take 1 large step backwards and fall to 1
knee. While on a knee, you can defend yourself, but not attack. Duration: 5 seconds.
Withdrawal: Your Addiction has not been satiated, and your body is fighting back. You feel
weak, awful, and nauseous. Your total Steam and Aether pools are decreased by 2 each.
Talents, Crafting, and Rune/Rituals take double time to use. After taking an addictive
substance, the Withdrawal will affect you in 2 periods. For example, if you take a
Nostrum during period 1, you are affected by Withdrawal at the start of period 3. This
effect will end early if you take a death. If you indulge in the Addiction, the Withdrawals
are suppressed for another 2 periods, however the Withdrawal duration restarts.
Duration: Lasts 6 Periods. This does not stop at the end of an event, and will continue
until 6 full periods have been played as that character.

13
Permanent Until Cured (or upon character death)
Addiction: You are now addicted to a substance (generally a Nostrum) and are compelled to
consume it. If this substance is not consumed at least once within 2 periods, then you
will be affected by Withdrawal at the start of the next period. Addiction persists during
Withdrawals. If you go through a complete cycle of Withdrawals (6 periods), the
Addiction is cured. Planars racial weakness is also an Addiction, please see Planar skills
for details.
Bleed: You have a bad wound that wont stop Bleeding. Your Vaea cannot be healed until
Bleeding is removed.
Break Limb: One of your limbs is broken. If it is an arm, you cannot use that arm. If it is your
leg, you cannot walk.
Sever: One of your limbs has been cut off. You can no longer use that arm or leg, and you take
a BLEED effect (curing the Sever cures the Bleed). If it is a leg, you can no longer walk.
Duration: Permanent until cured.
Sunder: Your weapon or armor is now broken. This only affects 1 weapon or 1 piece of armor at
a time. Your weapon cannot be used and that piece of armor grants no benefit.
Instant
Disarm: Your weapon has been struck hard, causing you to drop it. You will safely drop any
weapon in your hand and cannot pick it up for at least 5 seconds. This does not work on
shields. Fist Weapons and soulbound weapons cannot be disarmed, but instead that arm
takes a 5 second Enfeeble.
Knock Back: You have been pushed backwards. Take 10 steps back.

Power Types
Instant: The target of this power takes the effect immediately.
Temporary: The target of this power will have the effect on them for a set duration. These
effects are considered Active effects. You cannot have more than 1 active effect on
you that grants the same benefit or detriment.
Latent: A power that is Latent is not initially active when cast on a target. Latent spells require
a trigger, which could be another ability or situation. Often a Latent power can simply be
activated by the target it was cast on by saying Invoke. Once a Latent power is
invoked, that effect is now considered an Active Effect. If not invoked, a Latent power
will remain on a target until the end of the weekend. Latent powers also forcibly end if
you die and then resurrect.

14
Concentration: A power that requires constant contact or Concentration. For spells, this means
that you must point at your target and maintain visual contact with them to keep affecting
them. For Feats, Talents, and Rituals, it may require continued physical contact or
roleplay to maintain Concentration. You may willingly end the Concentration at any
time. However, being struck by an attack will interrupt Concentration and immediately
end the power.
Areas of Effect: A Power or item that affects more than 1 target. An Area of Effect, or AOE,
expands off the target that was initially hit. If that target defends against the attack, then
the AOE does not affect anyone. If a target that was not the initial target defends against
the attack, it does not affect that individual target, but still affects everyone else. AOEs
come in different varieties:
Lance: The power affects the target and 1 target directly behind them within arms reach.
Arc: The power affects the initial target, 1 target directly to their left within arms reach, and 1
target directly to their right within arms reach.
Cross: This works the same as Arc, but also effects 1 target in front and 1 target behind the
initial target within arms reach.
Wave: The power comes off the caster and will affect everyone within 5 feet of them.
Bomb: The power affects the initial target and everyone within 5 feet of them.

Power Modifiers
There are certain abilities that might allow you to modify some of your powers. These Power
Modifiers are called before the name of power that you are using. You may use more than 1
modifier per power.
Perfect Aim: Adding this to a spell or ranged attack allows you to automatically hit the target
without having to hit them OOG with a packet or ammo. It requires you to point at a
target within line of sight, state Aiming 1, Aiming 2, Aiming 3, and then call the Spell
Verbal and Effect, with the targets name at the end. Perfect Aim can be stopped with
normal spell defenses.
Elemental: If you are swinging Affintiy damage due to a permanent skill, active temporary
effect, or an item, you may augment feats with your Affinity damage type. Doing this
signifies that you are attacking with a better than normal damage type, allowing you to
affect incorporeal targets. This does not add your weapon damage to any feats. The Bane
portion of Affinity does not affect feats in this way. You only must do it when fighting an
incorporeal target, but you can do it all the time if you choose. Examples: Fire
Stun. Vile Trip Lightning Kidney Shot Magic Waylay
Surprise: Feats modified with Surprise can only be defended against by defenses that state
that they stop surprise. Surprise attacks must hit targets in the back of the torso.

15
Speed: Adding this to a feat or melee attack allows you to automatically hit a target within
weapons distance without having to strike them OOG with your weapon. It requires you
to have 1 hand on your weapons hilt. Speed can be stopped with normal melee
defenses. Speed can also affect those using Traverse abilities. If the target is hit, the
Traverse ability ends. The traversing target can defend against the speed attack by using
a defense augmented with Greater.
Greater: Powers modified with Greater can only be defended against by Greater defenses.
Revenge: Adding Revenge to a Power or Effect means that it was reactively activated by a
trigger (example: you are struck for damage) and now your attacker takes an effect.
Example: You are struck for damage. You take the damage and call Revenge Stun. 5 seconds.
Your attacker is now stunned.

16
 Chapter 4: Affinity and Baptism
There are many forces that act upon Rowanon that can greatly influence and alter its people and
creatures. Two specific and influential forces are the elements and the divine. Affinity is used to
describe a person or creatures connection to the elements of the universe, and Baptism is the
connection that a person has with the gods and goddesses of Rowanon. These two connections
often work together, but can also work separately.

Affinity
The connection that a character has with a certain element. These universal forces are used by
and governed by gods, but are also a natural part of the world of Rowanon. Each element has a
direct opposite, and opposites greatly clash when going against each other. For example, Dark
opposes Light. Just like the gods, these elements are split up between Solarian and Lunarian
Forces.
Lunarian Dark Lightening Ice Grim Chaos Vile
Solarian Light Earth Fire Spirit Magic Nature

Four other affinities exist that you may encounter. Storm is the combination of Ice and
Lightning and generally attainable by worshippers of Morwyn. Forge is the combination of
Earth and Fire and generally attainable by worshippers of Keld. Storm and Forge are opposites.
All affinities are equal, but two are more powerful than the rest. Divine is an Affinity that
divine beings possess. Void is an Affinity that creatures from the void realm possess. These
can greatly harm anyone, despite their Affinity. Divine and Void are generally not attainable by
mortals, although being very close to those powers can grant you a taste of them. However,
many mortals still take up the path to attain these affinities, not matter how dangerous or
impossible it may be.
Affinity can be earned in many ways. There are passive skills that grant Affinity points or levels
on the Divine Magic skill path and within various racial lists. However, Affinity is not
necessarily bound to religion or race, and oftentimes a characters Affinity could be the opposite
of the god that they worship or the way that they roleplay. For example, a Planar related to the
Brood might have gained Affinity: Dark from their racial list, but they may also worship
Lyrana, strive to be a good person, and seek to escape their shadowy heritage. In this example,
Affinity can motivate roleplay and drive character goals.
Besides race and religion, Affinity can also be gained by using various abilities at events. These
abilities use roleplay or combat to generate Affinity Points. An Affinity Point is a mote of
elemental energy that you can gain which strengthens or establishes your Affinity. It takes 3
Affinity Points in a single element to gain an Affinity Level. Only 1 Affinity point can be earned
in an event. You can gain up to 3 Affinities, but never of the opposite element. You can only
17
have a max of 3 Affinity Points per element at a time. If you have a Level 5 Affinity, you can no
longer gain Affinity Points in that element (if you are brought back down to Level 4 though, you
can begin gaining Affinity Points again like normal).
Once an Affinity is established, the character takes minimal from the damage type associated
with their Affinity, and takes double damage (bane) from the opposite type. As the character
progresses, their Affinity can be upgraded to allow for more uses and effects. The abilities
gained through increasing your Affinity level are found on the Life Energy class list. Some
abilities on the Class lists can only be learned if your character has a certain level of Affinity.
Having an Affinity grants a unique way to interact with the world, with benefits and detriments.

Baptism
The connection that a character has with one of the deities of Rowanon. Each deity has power
over a certain domain of the world and grant unique powers to those that follow them. The gods
and goddesses are split into two pantheons, one that is governed by the Solaar and one that is
governed by the Lunaar.
The gods are:
Solaar: Lyrana the Goddess of Light, Keld the God of Creation, Kallen the Goddess of Life,
Aurelius Arcanum the God of Order, and The Nature Twins (Beast Lord and Lady Forest)
the Gods of Nature.
Lunaar: Zigaen the God of Darkness, Morwyn the Goddess of Destruction, Morcant the God
of Death, Oksani the Goddess of Chaos, and The Unvaen Ones (Vaedryn and Lynthul) the
Gods of the Unnatural.
Each deity has an element, a list of tenets, and a list of powers that are associated with them. This
is a small list of Rowanons gods, for more detailed information about the gods, their histories
and their tenets please refer to the Lore Book. Being baptized to a deity is a choice that a
character can make. It is not required, and it will not negatively affect your experience if you
choose not to be baptized. Being baptized does not grant any initial benefits, but is a pre-requisite
for most Divine abilities. You may choose to start you character with a baptism. You may also
choose to start un-baptized and seek out a baptism at events. Being baptized in-game can be an
amazing roleplay experience that can set the path for how a character will development. To
continue to worship your deity and use the powers associated with them, your character must
follow that gods tenets. Playing a character devoted to a god can challenge your roleplaying
skills and help develop them even further. If you act against your deitys tenets in a major way
that is discovered by your church or the dety itself, it is possible that you could lose your baptism
and no longer have access to your gods powers. But redemption and development in other
directions are always achievable.

18
Dual Baptism
It is possible to be baptized to more than one god. This is called Dual Baptism. You may not
start the game with a dual baptism, but must earn it in-game. Gaining a dual baptism requires
intense roleplay, and keeping it up requires you to follow the tenets of both gods, with can be
extremely challenging. However, it grants you the ability to use skills and powers from both
gods, opening many different possibilities.

19
 Chapter 5: Gearing Up
Whether your character intends to fight, heal the wounded, or research ancient lore, you will
inevitably find yourself involved in combat in some way. Although In-Game your character is
throwing spells and fighting with cold steel, Out-of-Game we simulate the fighting with physical
representations of weapons, armor, and spell energy that are much safer than the real thing.

OOG Weapon Physreps

Combat requires an approved physical representation or physrep. Real weapons are not
used. Instead, we use boffer or latex weapons and shields. Boffer weapons are constructed
with duct tape, PVC pipe, pipe foam, and open cell foam. Boffer shields are made from wood,
closed cell foam, duct tape, leather straps, and handles. Latex weapons and shields are
constructed with a fiberglass core, liquid latex, foam, molds, and latex paint.
All weapons and shields must be approved by a weapons marshal before you can use them.
Boffer weapons should be constructed with 1/2-inch PVC pipe, or 3/4-inch PVC pipe for longer
weapons, properly fitted 5/8-inch thick PVC pipe foam, duct tape, and open cell foam,
and 2-inch thrusting tips on both ends. All boffer shields must be made with 5/8-inch
pipe foam and duct tape to cover all exposed edges of the shield. Latex and Calimacil
weapons and shields, are approved on a case-by-case basis. If your weapon or shield
does not fit these exact standards, you can bring them in and get them checked by a
marshal to see if you can use them.
Thrown Weapons are constructed in the exact same way a normal boffer or latex weapon would
be constructed, however they cannot have a core.
Spell Packets are used as physreps for spell energy or other small missiles. Spell Packets are
small squares of cloth, filled with bird seed, and tied or sewn closed.
First and foremost a weapon must be safe. If there is something there that is clearly not safe
(feeling pipe on the blade, too hard, etc) it does not pass. If a weapon is mostly safe and has
passed at other games because it meets their standards, but does not 100% meet our standards,
we'll allow use of these weapons on a case by case basis. If it is safe, but does not have thrusting
tips or something like that, a weapon can be classified in the "latex weapon category".
Homemade weapons like this will be marked with something identifying, like orange safety tape,
so that if anyone happens to pick up the weapon, they know what they can and cannot do with it.
Latex weapon rules are No thrusting and if the marshals find that you are continually fighting
unsafe with a weapon of this category, you will not be allowed to use weapons of this category
for the remainder of the event and possibly for future events.

20
Boffer or Latex Sizes
All weapons are ultimately approved or denied by a weapon marshal. This will be done on a case
by case basis and we will take your body size into consideration. If a weapon is a few inches off
from the description and the marshal deems that it is right for the user, it can still be approved.
Weapons can be denied if they are deemed unsafe because they are too long for the user.
Weapon Type Min to Max Inches
Weapon Size
Small Weapon/ Small Claw 16 to 24
One Handed Weapon/ Long Claw 24 to 44
Bastard Weapon 42 to 50
Great Weapon 48 to 92
Staff 60 to 78
Shield 15 to 39 width/height
Small Thrown Weapon 4 to 16
Large Thrown Weapon 16 to 32
Extra Large Thrown Weapon 32 to 48

Ranged Weapon Phys-Reps and Rules

There are two kinds of archery that can be done in Chronicles of Rowanon: Regular Archery
and Packet Archery.
Regular Archery uses a real bow with a pull of X or less, and utilizes boffer or latex arrows.
A Nerf bow and Nerf arrows can be used instead of a regular bow (however the Nerf Agent
Bow is not allowed). Crossbows are accepted on a case by case basis. All archery
equipment, including Nerf bows, must be approved by a marshal. You cannot physically
block OOG with a real or Nerf bow.
Packet Archery involves a boffer bow and spell packets. The boffer bow must be at least
40-50 inches long. It can have a bow string, but the string is optional. If your boffer bow has
a string, it should have some slack. You may physically block with a Boffer bow, but you
cannot strike with it. For Boffer archery, arrows are represented by throwing spell packets,
using the same stance as if you were shooting a real bow. These spell packets are special
packets called Arrow packets. An arrow packet is a spell packet with a ribbon attached to
it, to denote the difference between arrows and spells. Defensive feats that require a weapon,
such as deflect, can be used while holding a bow. Strength is applied to thrown weapons, but
not bows. Ranged weapons may use any offensive feat that is not melee specific, specific to
a certain fighting style, or has a pre-req of strength. You cannot inherently weapon-cast
using ranged weapons.
21
Weapon Damage
Weapons can deal different amounts of damage based on the type of weapon, the material that it
is made from, your skill with the weapon, and other factors. For further details on weapon
damage, see the novice combat list.

Claws and Fists

Weapons come in many forms. Some fighters prefer to use their bare hands in combat. Creatures
and some mortal races grow claws that they can fight with. Claws and Fists follow the same
phys-rep rules as melee weapons, but they are usually colored white. Claws and fists cannot be
disarmed through normal means. Additionally, if a claw or fist is broken or Severed, it can be
repaired with any effect that would fix a broken or Severed limb. Just like weapons, claws and
fists do not take damage if struck by other weapons. Weaponcasted spells that strike a claw or
fist will also not affect the target unless otherwise specified. Feats/weaponcasted spells can be
delivered using a claw or fist. Small claws do a base of 1 damage and long claws do a base of 2.

Firearms
At their base description, Firearms are a type of Engineered device that fire bullets. Bullets are
items that can be crafted, traded, or bought. Each shot expends a bullet. Bullets are the main
source of the damage and the bullet determines what damage type the gun shoots. Bullets are
powerful, but they do not go through shields or armor. However, to defend against a bullet your
defense must specify that it works against firearms/bullets. You cannot inherently weapon-cast

22
spells using a gun. While using a firearm, you may use defensive feats and offensive feats that
are not melee specific, fighting style specific, have a pre-req of strength, or causes a disarm. If a
feat that works despite these specifications, but it does not seem as though it should not be used
with a gun please ask a marshal.
The Phys rep of a gun designates its type of IG game. Once you designate it as a certain type of
gun, you cannot say that it is any other type of gun. A marshal can help you determine what type
of gun you have, especially if it is not listed in the examples below. The auto-fire option on
battery operated guns cannot be used. To help the ambiance of the game, it is strongly
encouraged that guns be painted to look more metallic and steampunk (be sure to keep the
orange tip for safety).
Phys Rep categories for guns:
Pistol: Can fire 1-6 shots before reloading. 1 handed. Examples: Nerf Fire Strike, Night
Finder, Sidestrike, Maverick, Strongarm, Hammershot, and Sweet Revenge.
Rifle: Can hold up to 18 bullets. 2 handed. Anything that looks like a rifle or a shotgun.
Could have a stock or an extra-long barrel. If your phys-rep is single shot, you can fire it as
quickly as you can OoG load in each bullet. If your phys-rep is clip-fed, you must crank the
firearm for 5 seconds between each shot. Examples: Nerf Retaliator, Longshot, Rough Cut,
Barrel Break, or Sledgefire.
Artillery: 2 handed or unwieldy even with 2 hands. This category includes anything that is
belt fed, requires a stand, fires more than 2 darts at once, holds more than 18 darts, or fires
anything larger than a mega dart.

Point Blank
If you are using a ranged weapon or firearm, you may not fire upon a target that is within 10 feet
of you. Instead, if an attacker gets within 10 feet of you, you may aim your gun or bow at them
and call "Point Blank," stating the amount of damage that your weapon deals. This way, you can
shoot them IG without potentially hurting them OOG. You cannot inherently use Feats with
Point Blank. After calling the damage, you must represent that you are using your ammunition
by dropping an arrow or bullet physrep to the ground, shooting your gun into the ground or your
hand, knocking and un-knocking you arrows, etc. "Point Blank" can only be used defensively,
meaning that you cannot run up to a target and call point blank at them. Point Blank can be used
once per gun. If you are being pursued, you can use Point Blank every 5 seconds. Point Blank is
not necessary for packet archery.

23
Hardness
Every breakable item has a hardness value, including weapons, shields, and armor. Hardness is
what determines how hard it is to break that item. The hardness value of an item comes from the
materials it is made from and other abilities that may affect it. If an item is targeted by a
Sunder or Break effect, the item is broken if the hardness of the item attempting to break it is
higher than that its own hardness. Sundered items cannot be used until repaired. Hardness does
NOT act like an items hit points. An item is either Sundered or not. If an effect were to
instead say Destroy, then that item is completely gone and can never be repaired.
Crafting and Labor Item Hardness:
(these values are already incorporated into the base items themselves)
Novice items have base Hardness 1.
Apprentice items have base Hardness 2.
Journeyman items have base Hardness 3.
Master items have base Hardness 4.
Grandmaster items have base Hardness 5.
Items made primarily out of Mineral components have +1 Hardness.
All consumable items, bullets, and bombs have base Hardness 1 regardless of tier.
All engineering devices that are not two-handed firearms, vehicles, or stationary devices have
-1 Hardness, to a minimum of 1.
All inscription implements have -1 Hardness, to a minimum of 1.

Soulbound
Some items can become bound to your soul via ritual, curse, experience, or happenstance. If an
item is soulbound, it cannot be stolen from you. If the item is picked up or taken by someone
else, the item will disappear and reappear with you. To represent this, an item card will say
Soulbound: Character name. If you are not that character and you have picked up the item,
you cannot use it and should make sure that it gets back to its owner or that they are aware of its
location. Additionally, if you die and resurrect, all soulbound items will come through the
archway with you.

Protection
Protection is very important the world of Rowanon, where brigands, monsters, and creatures of
all kinds are ready to threaten your characters life at any turn. Protection comes in many forms.
The most common forms are Armor Rating and natural Soak.

24
Armor Rating
Your armor offers you a thick layer of protection from physical blows. This is represented by
your Armor Rating. Your armor rating is how much physical damage your armor can absorb
before your Vaea pool is affected. When struck by physical damage, you take your Armor
Rating number into consideration. If the damage you are receiving is less than or equal to your
Armor Rating, than you take 1 Damage. If the damage you are receiving is higher than your
Armor Rating, than you take the full amount of damage. This is meant to represent that your
armor can only absorb so much. If it is struck harder than it can handle, the full force of the
blow is felt.
Armor is durable and will survive most combat. Your armor is not destroyed from taking
damage. Only certain abilities that state that they break armor, such as Sunder or Rend will
destroy or damage a piece or set of armor. When armor is destroyed or damaged, it will need to
be repaired before it will grant its benefits again.
There are 3 types of physical armor:
Leather (soft or hard)
Chain (chainmail, brigandine, scale, or lamellar)
Plate
Armor Marshals can be found at check-in and throughout the game to check armor for safety and
rules adherence. They can determine what type of armor your phys-rep counts as and designate
how many armor slots it fills.

Armor Slots
Armor in Chronicles of Rowanon can be worn in 7 different areas on your body. These are
known as the Armor Slots. To gain the benefit of a piece of armor, at least 50% of the
designated area must be covered.
The armor slots are:
Head, Neck, Upper Arms (shoulder to elbow)
Lower Arms (elbow to wrist)
Hands, Torso, and Legs (hip to feet)
Your Armor Rating is designated by the amount of armor slots that you have filled, giving you
2 different options. Half Suit Armor Rating is gained by having at least 3 armor slots filled.
Full Suit Armor Rating is gained by having at least 6 armor slots filled or by having 75% of
your entire body covered with armor, as determined by an armor marshal.

25
Item Slots
Your character might find other items that they can wear which grant mechanical benefits, like
clothing or jewelry. Just like with armor, there are a set number of items that you can wear on
your body based on the location. These item slots are the same locations as the armor slots.
You can wear armor, jewelry, clothing, etc in the same slot, but it can only be 1 piece of each per
slot (rings and bracelets can be 1 per hand). You must be able to reasonably phys rep items worn
like this, and you should be able to show them to a marshal. Any questions or exceptions should
be discussed with a marshal.

Special Armor and Armor Mixing

Besides granting an Armor Rating, some armor can grant special effects because of the material
it was made from or the enhancements added to it. In order to gain the benefit from special
armor, you must be wearing at least a Half Suit of that type of armor. If you wish to gain the
benefit of 2 different types of special armor, you must be wearing a full suit of armor consisting
of 3-4 pieces of 1 special armor and 3-4 pieces of the other special armor. You cannot normally
gain the benefit of more than 2 types of special armor. However, one way to do that is by
Armor Layering.

Armor Layering
Armor Layering is the act of wearing one type of armor on top of
another that is granted through certain skills, such as Overlay
Armor on the Apprentice Combat list. You can only wear up to
3 types of armor in this way, which would be some combination
of leather, chain, and plate. You cannot layer multiple pieces of
the same type of armor. To gain the Armor rating from your
layered armor, you must follow normal armor rating rules, so
you must be wearing a half suit or a Full Suit. Layered
armor grants less of a protection than normal. There are
diminishing returns for each layer after the first. The armor that
grants the highest Armor Rating grants its full amount. Every
layer of armor after that grants 1 less Armor rating for a half suit
and 2 less for a full suit.

26
Soak and Natural Armor Rating
Armor is not the only way to gain protection. There are skills and abilities that grant protection
in more natural ways such as Natural Armor Rating or Soak.
Natural Armor Rating. This works the same as Armor Rating but is not granted through
Armor. This usually represents having extremely tough skin (possibly made of metal) or
some other barrier covering your body. Natural Armor is broken by anything that will break
or damage armor rating; however, it can only be repaired by skills that fix natural armor.
Natural Armor regenerates between events. Natural Armor Rating will not work if you are
unconscious, paralyzed, or incapacitated. Natural Armor Rating works even if you are
wearing armor.
Soak. This is another form of natural protection. This either represents the ability to quickly
move so that you do not receive the full impact of blows, or the ability to absorb damage
completely. When struck by physical damage, you subtract your amount of Soak from the
damage being dealt, and then take the result. Soak can never reduce damage to 0, you will
always take a minimum of 1 point of damage. Damage modifiers, such as doubling for Bane
damage, are applied first, before Soak.

Shields
Shields are used to protect yourself from attacks. Physical melee and ranged damage and Powers
do not go through shields and will have no effect. The only exception to this is if a Power
specifically works against a shield, such as Sunder or Piercing Shot. Spells do go through
shields, although weapon casted spells do not.

27
 Chapter 6: Crafting
Many things can be crafted in the world of Rowanon. Here are the general rules governing item
creation, components and items:
Crafting Bundles
There are four types of craft: Engineering, Smithing, Alchemy, and inscription. At each tier in
the Crafting and Labor category, there are two crafting bundles related to each of the crafts.
When you learn one of these bundles, you can now make any item listed under that bundle
(which you can find in the crafted items section). While there are no In-Game plans that you
must have on you to craft from, it is highly encouraged that you make an Out-of-Game recipe
book for what you can make so that you remember all the correct crafting requirements.
Basic Crafting Cost
Crafting time + Pool + Components= Finish Product. When you are done creating an item, see
a Logistics marshal or item card box to get the item tag.
Crafting Time
Each item has a crafting time, usually 5 minutes per tier of role-play. Additionally, you can
pause any crafting you are doing. A project can stay paused up to a certain number of minutes
depending on its tier before it spoils and you must start over again (the components and pool are
not spent until the item is finished): Novice-30min, Apprentice-20min, Journeyman-15min,
Master-10min, Grandmaster-5min. For example, a Master gadgets crafting time is 20 minutes,
and you can pause the creation process for up to 10 minutes before having to start over.
Crafting Components
There are three types of components: Mineral, Plant, and Animal. They come in one of four
rarities: Common, Uncommon, Rare, and Very Rare. Items require both the right type and rarity
to make it. For example, a Novice weapon might require one Common mineral to make, and a
Journeyman Poison might require one Rare plant to make. Unique components of divine or
legendary origins also exist, and are needed for some powerful items. They require specific skills
to gather them.
Substituting Components
When crafting an item, a higher rarity component may be freely substituted for a required lower
rarity component of the same kind.
Pool
Making items costs Steam and/or Aether. At base, every item costs 1 Pool point per tier of the
item. Any Pool Efficiencies that would happen to apply to crafting do so to the final Pool cost,
which is the base item Pool cost plus the Pool cost of any augments used.
28
Workbench
To make any item, you need to be at a workbench. Many towns and cities in Vorydia and beyond
have permanent, stationary, public workbenches set up for anyone to use. Additionally, portable
items called Crafting Kits can be expended anywhere to count as a workbench for one use.
Abilities
Want to spend components, Pool, and time to get different effects while crafting? There are many
abilities, items, and other effects that alter these costs.
Crafting Augment abilities add more time and pool to an items final costs but make the
item more powerful.
Makers Style abilities let you customize the ratio of your Component/Pool/time costs as
you see fit. There are some items that are easier to make for members of a specific race or
culture. There are even talents that improve workbenches themselves so everyone using
them can gain more benefits.
Affinity Materials
Affinity materials are special components that are imbedded with the various Affinity elements
and come in Several different forms. They are used as unique components for powerful crafted
items and may also have religious significance too. The Harvest Affinity Materials talent in the
Apprentice Crafting and Labor category allows characters to gain these items. The Affinity
shards and slivers are as follows:
Diamond Shard/Sliver - Grants Light, opposite is Dark
Aeonite Shard/Sliver - Grants Spirit, opposite is Grim
Obsidian Shard/Sliver - Grants Earth, opposite is Lightning
Ifritite Shard/Sliver - Grants Fire, opposite is Ice
Aethermarble Shard/Sliver - Grants Magic, opposite is Chaos
Silverwood Shard/Sliver - Grants Nature, opposite is Vile
Vulcanite Shard/Sliver - Grants Forge, opposite is Storm
Eye-of-the-Storm Shard/Sliver - Grants Storm, opposite is Forge
Darksteel Shard/Sliver - Grants Dark, opposite is Light
Ironwood Shard/Sliver - Grants Grim, opposite is Spirit
Plasmite Shard/Sliver - Grants Lightning, opposite is Earth
Galacium Shard/Sliver - Grants Ice, opposite is Fire
Opal Shard/Sliver - Grants Chaos, opposite is Magic
Blightwood Shard/Sliver - Grants Vile, opposite is Nature

29
Component Nodes
Gathering skills take 10 minutes per component. Component Nodes are areas where certain
components can be gathered. Each node has a different component type or combination of types
that can be gathered at it. At these locations, you will find a log book, where must write down
the time of your arrival, RP gathering for the set amount of time, write down your departure
time, and take a component card before leaving. There are abilities that allow you to dissect or
salvage components from items or monsters. If the NPC or item does not have a component
card, but your skill still works, then you can take a component card from a node.
Gathering while on NPC shift
You can use a Gathering skill on your NPC shift to gain 2 components per hour while you NPC.
Or you can use a Profession skill to gain money or components from a single profession that you
have.
Getting Components Between Events
Profession skills may grant components, money, or mundane items between events. You must
pick up your income at logistics when registering for event. You do not collect your income if
you forget to collect it, and income is not saved if you miss an event because you cannot gain
more than one month's earnings (you are assumed to have spent what you would have earned).
You may use 1 between event action in order to collect 1 type of stipend from your profession.
You may use multiple actions to collect different types of stipends from the same profession, if it
allows it. You may not use multiple actions to gain the same stipend from a single profession.
Item Rules
Single Use. This category of item generally only allows the item to be used once before the item
is expended or destroyed. When you finish using it, you must rip up the tag or hand it to a
logistics or item marshal.
Permanent. This is an item that is not expended after being used. If broken, it can be repaired.

30
Alchemy Rules
Alchemy consists of beneficial potions, detrimental Poisons, painful acids, and other interesting
concoctions. Alchemy is generally a single use item. Alchemy comes in many delivery
methods. The recipe will state the concoctions default base delivery method, as well as other
forms that it can be made into with various augment skills. The base delivery method always
takes the normal time, component, and pool cost to create, regardless of what the base form is.
Alchemy is usually phys repped by a potion bottle or vial. There are different forms that
alchemical substances can take.
Ingestible: Alchemy in a liquid form, meant to be consumed. To activate an ingested
liquid, you simply need to RP drinking it, no extra time is necessary. Ingested alchemy
can be mixed into a drink or plate of food. At least half the contents of the cup or plate
must be ingested before the alchemy takes effect. Any Vaea damage dealt by ingested
alchemy is now dealt as Direct damage.
Salve: Alchemy in the form of a lotion, meant to be applied topically on the skin. This
takes 10 seconds to apply, but can then be activated immediately. Salves grant 2 doses
upon creation.
Dust: Alchemy in the form of dust, which is meant to be inhaled. This is delivered via
spell packet to instantly affect a single target. Dusts do not work underwater or on
creatures that do not breathe.
Blade Poisons/ Viscid: Alchemy in the form of glue, activated by breaking skin or doing
damage to a target. They can be coated onto melee weapons and 1 dose will coat up to 3
arrows, bolts, or thrown weapons. To affect a target, the blade Poison must deal at least 1
damage to the targets Vaea. The blade Poison is expended if it affects the target or is
defended against with a skill (including immunity). If coated on a missile, it is also
expended if it misses the target. Blade Poisons only stay coated on an item for 2 minutes
before they fade.
Gas: Alchemy in the form of gas, meant to cover a great area to be inhaled. Gases are
also delivered via spell packet; however, they instantly affect all targets within 5 feet of
where the packet landed. If the alchemy targets a single item or limb, then the gas form
still works that way. Alchemy made into a dust or gas form must be defended against as
an alchemy, not a physical ranged attack.

31
 Scroll Rules
Scrolls are single use items that disintegrate after use. Scrolls may contain Feats, Spells, Talents,
Rituals, or Passive Skills. Expending the scroll grants 1 use of the power stored within it. That
power fades if not used within 2 minutes of reading the scroll. To use a scroll, it must be visible
and you must read it out loud. Scrolls can be written in other languages, and you would need the
appropriate literacy in order to read it. When activating a scroll, you do not need to meet the pre-
requisites for the power. Spells cast from a scroll are delivered via packet and you are considered
the caster. Talent scrolls are consumed immediately and grant one use of the power like other
types of scrolls. To use the talent the scroll gave you though, it requires the normal activation
time. However, the talent is not considered used until the activation time is finished (you will not
lose the one use of the talent if you are interrupted while in the middle of activating it). Besides
activating scrolls, you may instead learn from them. Learning from a scroll follows normal
teaching rules and the scroll counts as a teacher. Scrolls that you learn from are expended and
may be handed in with your card at the end of the event. You can only learn from Passive skill
and Ritual scrolls; you cannot activate them.

Implement Rules
Holding Wands/Talismans: If you want to use the mechanical effect of a wand or talisman, you
need to be wielding it (there is no Wand/Talisman Style needed to wield them). Just like with
weapons or shields, you can only wield one item at a time in each hand. If a wand/talisman is
made into a verge, then both the wand/talisman and the weapon/instrument count as being
wielded at the same time.

Engineered Device Rules

Gadgets: These generally require an activation method. This represents anything from a hand
crank, to wires which you channel Aether into. Mechanically, all devices that require activation
require one of the following: Time, Steam, or Aether. Self-activating devices exist, but are almost
always more advanced.

Bombs
These are handheld explosives that are thrown and have a variety of effects. To use one, simply
choose a spell packet (or other appropriate, safe-to-throw phys-rep) and loudly count to 3. Then
the bomb explodes wherever the packet is (thrown at a target, in your hand, in the air, etc).
Bombs can be thrown elsewhere if someone is quick enough to grab it before it explodes. A
bombs effect always happens in a Bomb area, and unlike normal Bomb attacks, these items
effects will happen whether the phys-rep struck a player or not. Please be wise about using these
items in places with little OoG light where no one can see the phys-rep.

32
Booby Trap
On its own, it does nothing; it must be used with Integrate Device to function. When a booby
trap is armed, its effects happen each time the device that it is Integrated to is activated (for
devices that require a bullet be shot or a packet thrown, the trap will go off on the user before the
attack is made, which may prevent the attack from going off entirely). The maker can arm and
disarm the booby trap after spending 5 seconds working on it and can always detect it (they can
also teach another character how to arm, disarm, and detect that specific trap on that specific
device for free--write who can work the booby trap on the back of the item card). Characters
must use either Detect Traps or Detect Booby Traps to locate booby traps and either Disarm Trap
(equal to or lower than the tier of the booby trap) or Disarm Booby Trap (any tier of booby trap)
to disarm it if they werent taught how to. When a trap is disarmed either through an ability or by
a character that knows how to, the device can be activated normally without triggering the booby
trap. Bullets cannot have booby traps applied to them, but firearms can.
Phys-reps, Augments, and Integration
Some OoG items naturally have qualities to them that could act as an IG augment (most
spyglasses for instance slide into themselves to reduce space, that would be the telescopal
augment). As such, for very specific devices, they will automatically gain any IG augments that
their OoG phys-rep has. This only applies to augments that have an impact on the phys-reps
physical form, such as Telescopal in the above example.
The list of devices that this rule is applicable for is as follows:
Timepiece, Compass, Aether Torch, Ocular Enhancers, Hand Radio, Locks, Keys.
This also applies to integrated devices that fall under the above list. For instance, having an IG
timepiece item and using a wristwatch phys-rep would turn it into a timepiece integrated into a
wireframe cuff for free (if the IG items that make up this integrated device would be separated,
only the base item remains and the others cease to exist).

Device Slots
Each device has one of the following keywords in its description:
Handheld, Cane, Firearm, Ammunition, Firearm Mod, Bomb, Stationary, Vehicle,
Construct, Hat, Goggles, Coat, Belt, Shoes, Gloves, or Cuffs.
The last 7 are all clothing slots; characters can only equip one device in each of those clothing
slots at a time (through Integrate Device, however, you can technically have many devices in the
same slot, but only one base item that they are all Integrated into). For Shoes, Gloves, and Cuffs
however, you may equip two separate devices into those slots so long as the devices dont
require being worn as a pair (for example, Rocket Boots must be worn as a pair, but you can
wear both a Rocket Glove and an Aethersnatcher at the same time because they dont need a pair
to function).
33
For apparel, you must be physically wearing the item in order to activate it. For instance, you can
be wearing as many pairs of goggles on your forehead or around your neck as you like, but only
a pair over your eyes will give its effects (unless you are unable to safely wear goggles OoG such
as if you need prescription glasses - see Rules for approval).

Integration Hubs
Some items dont make sense to integrate into another. Pulling an airship out of your timepiece is
certainly ridiculous, but putting a timepiece onto your airship is a fine idea. As such, several
engineering devices are tagged as integration hubs. When an engineer uses the Integrate
Device augment, they must choose which of the devices will be the centerpiece (see the actual
ability in the Crafting and Labor list for more details). If an item is an integration hub, that means
that it must be chosen to be the centerpiece of an integrated device. Thus, two items that are both
integration hubs cannot be combined, because only one can be the centerpiece. Any other items
that are not integration hubs can be combined into the centerpiece as usual.

Integration and Guns

If you Integrate a device into a firearm that involves throwing a spell packet, you can instead fire
a shot from the firearm to represent the Integrated device activating (shooting the firearm this
way does not cost an In-Game bullet).

34
 Smithed Item Rules
Smithed items primaryily consist of weapons and armor. When creating a weapon, as long as it
falls into a specific category that you can make,you are to choose the specific type of weapon.
For example, when making a 1 handed weapon, you can choose whether you make a sword, axe,
mace, club, axe, etc. Armor is split into 3 categories: leather, chain, and plate. Any other types
of armor that you might want to make must be put into one of those categories. For example,
depending on the phys rep, scale armor generally counts as chainmail. Weapons and Armor can
be further upgraded by enhancing their properties, to add various different benefits. For more
information on Weapon and Armor rules and Phys reps, please read the Gearing Up section.

Armor and Shield Properties

The crafting requirements for a piece of armor or shield with properties overrides the
requirements for the base version you are trying to make (for example, if you want to make a
reinforced helmet, you dont have to pay the costs and time for the head armor, just the
property). A property cannot be put on a piece of armor or a shield if it would bring the final
products Hardness to 0.

Weapon Properties
The crafting requirements for a weapon or piece of ammunition with properties overrides the
requirements for the base version you are trying to make (you dont have to pay the costs/time
for both one-handed weapon and mercurial weapon if you want to make a mercurial sword, just
the mercurial propertys costs.) If an effect cannot be put on a bow or crossbow, but can be put
on its ammunition, the arrows/bolts will have the effect when fired from the bow or crossbow.
Ammunition here only applies to arrows and bolts; bullets cannot have smith properties applied
to them unless specifically stated otherwise. A property cannot be put on a weapon if it would
bring the final products Hardness to 0.

35
 Chapter 7: Prepare for Battle!
Damage Types
There are various damage types that exist. The main type of damage is Normal damage, which
is what most weapons innately do and is called by saying Damage after the numerical value of
your strike. Most other damage types are related to Affinity. Each elemental Affinity has an
opposite element. If you deal an elemental damage type to someone that has the opposite
Affinity, they will take double that amount of damage. It is up to the person taking the damage
to multiply the amount that they take, not the person calling the damage. You may only call 1
damage type per strike. The damage types and opposites are as follows:
Dark Lightening Ice Grim Chaos Vile

Light Earth Fire Spirit Magic Nature

Even though there are many damage types, you primarily need to know what your Affinity is and
what its opposite is. Besides that, you may be negatively affected by certain damage types based
on race or other abilities you may get, or from powers that have been temporarily cast on you.
Here are a few more damage types that you might experience.
Storm is the combination of Lightning and Ice. Storm will do double damage to fire or
earth affinities. They will not take double from fire or earth anymore, but will take double
from Forge.
Forge is the combination of Fire and Earth. Forge will do double damage to ice and
lightening affinities. They will not take double from ice and lightening anymore, but will
take double from Storm.
Astral is a damage type from the spirit realm and not an Affinity. It is considered better
than normal and will always affect incorporeal targets. It does not innately do double
damage to any target.
Divine and Void are the strongest of all damage types. Against anyone who does not
have Divine or Void Affinity, Divine or Void damage will deal double Direct damage
to them. Divine and Void are opposites and will deal double to each other.
Subdual damage is considered non-lethal. Hitting a target with subdual damage will not
cause them to enter their Death Count. Instead, a target who gets dropped to 0 Vaea with
subdual damage will be Incapacitated for 1 minute. If a target is being attacked by
subdual and other damage types, the target will only fall unconscious if the last hit that
drops them is Subdual. Regardless of weapon, strength, or proficiencies, Subdual
damage starts at 1 and can only be increased by skills that specifically enhance subdual.

36
 When going against soak or armor rating, subdual can be reduced to 0, meaning that you
need to do more than 1 Subdual in order to affect a character with Protection. Subdual
Damage may be called by anyone instead of any other damage type.
Damage Modifiers
Certain abilities may allow you to modify your damage. These Damage Modifiers are either
called before or after the damage type that you are using. Only 1 damage modifier can be used
per strike, unless specified. The modifiers are:
Bane: This is the term used to state that something does double damage. It is not necessary
to call Bane when using elemental damage.
Direct: Adding Direct to your damage allows it to ignore armor rating and soak, effecting
the Vaea pool directly. Example of calling Direct damage: " 5 Direct Fire!
Recurring: Recurring damage will continue to affect the target every 10 seconds. This will
end if the target is healed. Example of calling Direct damage: " 2 Recurring Ice!
Aggravated: Aggravated means that a specific type of pool cannot be normally regained for
the rest of the event. Aggravated Vaea, Steam, and Aether are completely healed after the
end of the event. Aggravated is usually only self-inflicted and not often seen in combat.
Strength
Some abilities grant weapon expertise while others
grant pure physical strength. Strength grants you +1
melee damage per hand, meaning that it adds +2 for a
2 handed weapon. Strength is applied to thrown
weapons, but not bows, crossbows or guns. Strength
acts as a pre-req for certain skills and may be used in
some RP scenarios and challenges. Everyone starts
with normal strength. When your strength increases,
you refer to it as Strength + X, where X is the
amount of additional strength categories that you have.
Drudges
A Drudge is a summoned or transmuted entity that serves its creator. The caster must provide
appropriate physreps for the Drudge, such as costuming and weapons if necessary. It is
encouraged that the caster have a card of stats for easy transformation. Drudges must stay within
10 feet of the caster and will obey their commands. Unless otherwise specified, a caster may not
have more than 1 Drudge under their control at a time. If the caster is incapacitated or in the
Second Stage of their Death Count, the Drudge will remain and will continue executing the last
orders that they were given by the caster. If no orders were specifically given, the Drudge will

37
protect the body of the caster until it is dispelled. If the caster reaches the Third Stage of the
Death Count, the Drudge will be dispelled. The Caster may dispel the drudge at anytime by
repeating the spell and saying Dispell. The character transformed into the Drudge has no
memory of being a Drudge afterwards. You can only have 1 Drudge at a time.

Efficiencies
Some abilities allow you to become more efficient with how you utilize a certain power pool.
Learning a power Efficiency reduces the amount of Steam or Aether that it takes to use a power.
An Efficiency can never bring your pool cost below 1. Crafting efficiencies reduce crafting by 1
minute. Talent and ritual efficiencies reduce the time it takes to use the talent or ritual by various
amounts based on the talent or ritual itself. There are generally 2 different kinds of Efficeincies:
Pool Specific Efficiencies and Ability Specific Efficiencies. Pool Specific Efficiencies apply
only to a chosen power pool, regardless of the type of power it is fueling. Ability Specific
Efficiencies apply only to a chosen type of ability, regardless of what type of pool is fueling it.
These are designated by whether the efficiency states it works for a specific pool or a specific
ability type. When adding multiple costs into 1 action (attack, crafting an item, etc), you add up
all the costs and then apply the efficiencies. You may only apply 1 efficiency of each type to a
single action. The opposite of an efficiency is called a deficiency.

38
 Chapter 8: Conduct
Combat
While your character is fighting to survive on the battlefield, we strive to make sure that you are
having a fun and safe time during combat. Fighting at a LARP is a physical activity, but we
want to make sure that no-one gets truly hurt, so we have some combat rules that everyone
should follow. Although there are always marshals to ensure that combat rules are being
followed, the best way to ensure a great experience for everyone is if all players know and abide
by the following rules:

Non-combat
You may choose to be considered Non-Combat if you are injured or have a medical concern
OOG and are worried that being struck in combat could cause you extra real-life damage. Please
inform a GM that you would like to be non-combat so that the announcement can be made at
opening ceremonies. Non-Combat is represented with a yellow headband during the day and a
yellow glowstick at night. If you are non-com, you cannot do any melee fighting and other
players cannot physically hit you, but they can affect your character by coming within weapons
distance, pointing their weapon at you, and calling their attack. You may call defenses as
normal. It is up to you to decide whether you would like to be struck with packets, arrows,
thrown weapons, or bullets. However, it is also your responsibility to make sure that you are
safe, by not sneaking up on people, rushing into combat, or being on the front line.

Hazards in Combat Scenarios

Allowing boffer fighting at COR means theres a strong focus on safety for everyone. The
following is a list of problematic and unsafe actions that could lead to injury on an OOG level. If
the description of these hazards isnt enough, any Rules Marshal can demonstate in a safe way at
an event for clarity.
Please refrain from doing the following.
1. You may only swing/shoot, once per second, per weapon. Violating this rule is called
Machine Gunning.
2. You should not be swinging your weapon any more than a 90-degree arc. Violating this rule
is called Baseball Batting.
3. You may only knock one arrow or bolt at a time.
4. You must clearly annunciate all abilities, effects, and damage that you are using.
5. You may not arc your arrows, bullets, or packets to bear down on a target or group. Violating
this rule is called packet or bullet lobbing.
6. You may not fire an arrow or firearm at anyone who is within 10 feet of you.

39
7. You may not intentionally run forcefully into someone else. Violating this rule is called
Charging.
8. When using a shield, you may not cover all of your legal striking areas with the shield
(violating this is called Turtling
9. When using a shield, you may not intentionally strike someone with your shield. Violating
this is called Shield Bashing.
10. Please do your best to fight as safely as possible. Please do not hit or throw packets too hard,
or intentionally hit someone in the head, throat, or groin or breasts. Fighting unsafely is
called Wild Fighting.
11. Do your best to keep track of your Aether, Steam and Vaea amounts. Do not intentionally
use more power pool points than you have or take more damage your Vaea pool can handle.
Violating this is called Miscounting or Not taking your hits.
12. You may not use abilities that your character does not have. Violating this is called Skill
Bolstering.
13. You may not use of out-of-game knowledge to gain in-game information. Violating this is
called Meta-Gaming.

Important Rules for Game Conduct

You may not play the game while under the effects of alcohol or drugs, and you cannot have
alcohol or drugs on the camp.
Out of Game theft, or going through a player's personal belongings without his or her
permission, or an official marshal present, will not be tolerated.
Harassment, bigotry, racism, sexism, intolerance, abuse of any kind, bullying, and slander are not
tolerated at the game. If you see any form of abuse taking place, feel free to speak out or reach
out to one of the Game Masters or a staff member. Protect and accept each other.

40
Consequences to Rules Violations
Rules Marshals, Game Masters, and other staff will be available to ensure that combat and
conduct rules are followed. It is ultimately up to a Marshal to determine whether a person has
violated any rules. If a marshal finds that someone has violated the rules, that player will receive
a violation and a penalty. All penalties are based on the Severity of the rule breaking and decided
on a case by case basis. Following is a list of possible penalties ranging from minor to Severe.
1. A verbal warning to make sure that the player understands the rules.
2. Additional cleanup at the end of the event.
3. Additional NPC shifts.
4. Combat privileges being suspended or restricted.
5. Being sent home from the game for the remainder of the event.
6. Suspension from the game for a set number of events.
7. In the most Severe situations: Permanent banning from game events.
In most combat situations and if mistakes are made you will just get a verbal warning, unless you
are talked to about breaking the same rule multiple times, at which point you may be given a
more Severe penalty. It is not our goal to be harsh and uninviting. These rules are simply set
because we want to make sure that everyone at the game has a safe and fun experience.

41
Area Notes, Night Raids and PvP
Most fights that you get into will be Player Character (PC) vs Non-Player Character (NPC), or
Player vs Environment (PVE).
Player Versus Player (PVP): There may be times when you want to attack another PC or
another PC wants to attack you. PvP happens, and in general there are few rules to restrict it.
The most important rule is that we want everyone to have fun, so if PvP happens please try to
keep it as fair as possible and try to keep any In Game Conflict In Game. To maintain that
rule, we ask that if you seek to attack a player who is alone or asleep, or sneak into a players
cabin to steal IG items, that you always have a marshal with you.
Night Raid: This is where a PC or NPC enters a players sleeping area at night to steal or
deal harm. Normally you cannot coup de gras a character who is sleeping. However, if you
have a Marshal you can. For this reason, all Night Raids require a marshal. Although Night
Raids are possible and the game runs all through the night, we still want players to get sleep.
Area Notes: Are notes put on a door to clarify abilities affecting an area or room. You can
use them to protect your room or tent from Night Raids based on your skills. Each room will
have a large Envelope outside for Area Notes. On the paper in the envelope you can write
about any traps, locks, wards, or other powers that protect the room, as well as the name of
anyone in the room who is sleeping OOG for medical reasons. There will also be a smaller
envelope inside where you can place the details of traps and powers, so not to give them
away to those who can only detect their existence. Once the information is placed in and
sealed, the envelopes should only be opened by those who sleep in the room, people using
detections, people entering the room, and marshals. Area notes will also be seen on modules
and can be used for personal traps.

Out of Game and In Game

Everything that happens in the game world is considered In Game or IG. Everyhting that
happens in the real world is considered Out of Game or OOG. There may be time when
players or marshals need to travel OOG. To show that you are OOG, you must wear
a white headband or hold your fist or weapon over the top of your head. If you are out-of-game,
you generally are not allowed to interact with anyone who is in-game and vice versa. Some
exceptions to this rule would be an out-of-game marshal interacting with in-game players to
describe a scene or an in-game player speaking with an out-of-game marshal to clarify. Items
should also be classified in the same way. You may keep Out-of-game items on you or leave
them in your sleeping area, preferably underneath a bed or blanket.

42
Important Terminology
HOLD is a call that can be made to immediately stop in-game action. HOLD must be shouted
loud enough for everyone to hear. HOLD can be called by marshals in order to stop the action
and give OOG descriptions of an IG scene or call out IG effects. During a HOLD, everyone is
encouraged to be quiet and stay in their current spot so that descriptions can easily be heard and
the game can be quickly started up again.
HOLD: MEDICAL. If HOLD is followed by MEDICAL that means that someone might
be hurt. Anyone can call HOLD: MEDICAL if they or someone else are hurt. During this type of
hold, those with OOG medical skills should be ready to make their way to the person that called
the hold, in case their aid is needed.
CLARIFY is a call that anyone can make that will not stop in-game action. CLARIFY can
be called to ask about the effects of a Power or skill, or can be used to ask other quick OOG
questions. Marshals may also use CLARIFY to quickly call out an effect or description without
stopping action.
CAUTION is a call that can be made to OOG alert a player that they might be walking into a
something that could harm them, for example: backing quickly into a tree, a wall, or into a hole.
The player in danger may decide to move to a safer location a short distance away. This may put
a quick, temporary stop to the immediate in-game action.
LAY ON is a call that can be made after a HOLD, CAUTION, or long CLARIFY to restart
the action. Generally, the person who called the HOLD or CLARIFY, or was effected by the
caution, is the one to call LAY ON. This is done by loudly calling 3! 2! 1! LAY ON!

43
 Chapter 9: Character Creation
Now that you have a good understanding of the general game rules, it is time to build your
character. Each character starts out as a hero with access to quite a few abilities because they are
experienced, well-studied, or simply possess a great inner power. Here are the starting stats and
abilities that everyone starts with:
Vaea Points: 20
Aether Points: 5
Steam Points: 5
Lives: 5
Experience Points: 40

Innate Abilities
There are some abilities that all character have from the very start that do not cost any experience
or require to be written on your character card. Those are:
Literacy. Everyone can read and write the common language. However, you may play a
character who cannot read or write if you would like to add some interesting flavor to
your roleplay, although mechanically you would still have this skill.
Teach. You can teach skills and titles to others who wish to learn them and have the pre-
requisites and Exp to do so. Teaching takes 15 minutes per skill/title at novice and
apprentice level, 20 mins at journeyman level, and 30 mins at master level. Teaching will
continue through combat and other interruptions. You can teach up to 2 people at a time.
Learning from a teacher grants you use of the ability in 2 periods. For example, if you
are taught a skill during period 1, you gain access to the skill at the start of period 3. You
cannot reduce the amount of time that it takes teach a title.
Self-teaching. If you cannot find a teacher, you can teach yourself any skill, power, or Title.
Self-teaching takes the same amount of time, but grants you use of the ability at the next
event.
Searching. You may search unconscious or dead targets. Call Searching. Searching takes 30
seconds. This reveals all items on the target that are not hidden by abilities. At the end
of 30 seconds, you can request to take the items that the character had on their body.

44
Coup de Gras. This skill puts a character into the Second Stage of their Death Count and will
prevent them from regenerating Vaea if they can do so. To deliver a Coup de Gras, the
target must be in the First Stage of their Death Count or willing. You may not coup de
gras a character who is incapacitated by mechanical means, such as a Constrict or
waylay. To use Coup De Gras, you must touch the target with your weapon or aim at
them with a ranged weapon, firearm, or damage spell and, in a normal speaking voice,
count Coup 1, coup 2, coup 3 then call Coup de Gras! This counts as a
Concentration effect and may be interrupted. Coup de Gras cannot be used by NPCs
unless given specific permission by the plot marshal.
Epic. The citizens of Vorydia have transcended to a higher level than common adventurers.
Whether they be heroes or villains, veterans or prodigies, each one possesses the ability
to do something truly memorable. Once per period, if you are completely out of Steam or
Aether, you may use 1 Feat or Spell that you know for 0 cost, and attach the prefix "Epic"
to it. The power that you use must be fueled by the pool that is now empty. Epic
powers can only be defended against by Epic or Legendary powers. Epic cannot
be used by NPCs unless given specific permission by the plot marshal.
Steps to Character Creation
Now that you know about your starting stats and abilities you might want to develop a concept
for your character. You can do this in many ways. You might want to look through the CoR
lorebook for ideas. You might want to browse further into the rulebook to see what skills,
races, or titles might inspire you. You might also get inspiration from your favorite books,
games, movies, or TV shows to help you decide what kind of character you might want to play.
There are many options for what you can play in CoR, so having an initial concept is a good
place to start. Once you have a concept, you can start building your character.
Step 1: Pick a Race and Racial Abilities
There are 10 races that you can choose from. Each race has 5 Racial Abilities that you can pick
from at character creation. Out of the 5, you pick 3 to be able to use. Racial skills do not cost
Exp. You also gain a racial weakness.
Step 2: Pick a Culture
There are 20 cultures that you can pick from. This is a culture that your character has spent a
significant amount of time living in. It could be where they were born, where they lived for a
long time, or where they lived most recently. Each culture comes with 1 Cultural Power that you
can use. Cultural skills do not cost Exp.
Step 3: Pick a Baptism
Baptisms are optional, you do not have to start with one. If you choose to start with a Baptism,
pick 1 of the 10 deities that you wish to be baptized to. This costs no Exp, and grants no initial
benefit.
45
Step 4: Pick Class Abilities
You begin with 40 experience that you can spend on skills and powers within the Novice tier of
skills. You are not restricted to a single category and can choose any of the skills within the
Combat, Guile, Arcane, Divine, Academic, Crafting and Labor, and Life Energy Categories.
However, you must be aware of Pre-requisite skills that you would need to purchase within that
category or another one. If you are unsure of what skills you wish to learn, looking at the
Apprentice Titles might help you decide on a direction to take based on the concept that you
want to go for. If purchasing a crafting skill at character creation, you can choose up to 2 plans
of that crafting type.
Step 5: Pick starting items
A character starting at base level will start with 30 Gold that you can spend at character creation
on whatever items you want and can afford. You must know what you want before you come to
the game. If you do not know what items you want to start with or just want something quick
and minimal, you may pick from 1 of the following New Character starting packages:
Combat Starting Package
Up to 2 novice tier weapons (this includes shields). If ranged weapons are chosen, they
come with 1 box/case of ammunition. If you only get one weapon, you can choose to

47
 Chapter 10: Making Progress!
The more adventures your character goes on, the stronger they become. Each event that you
attend grants you between 8-10 experience points that you can use to learn more abilities or
increase your pool points. By playing you earn 8 EXP, and can purchase 1 for $5 and 1 for 5KP.
Prerequisites and Restrictions
Class lists are open between categories, and strongly guided by Prerequisites and Restrictions.
Prerequisites (or Pre-reqs) are specific requirements which are needed for a character to learn or
use an Ability, wear or use an item, or perform certain types of in-game actions. A pre-
req could be your race, culture, baptism, level, or most commonly a specific ability,
among other things. Some abilities may also have
Restrictions, which means that if you learn this ability then you may not be able to learn other
specific abilities or utilize certain items in the future. So, it is important to be aware of
pre-reqs and restrictions as your character progresses.
Single, Separate, and Multi-Purchase
Some skills may be purchase multiple times, whereas others may only be purchased once.
Single Purchase skills can only be purchased once. They are the most commonly seen skill and
will not be marked.
Separate Purchase skills can be purchased multiple times; however, each purchase is
technically a different skill. These skills usually offer a variety of options within 1 skill.
An example of this would be a Knowledge skill because in this single skill you can learn
many different knowledges. Separate Purchase skills will be marked, and each purchase
costs the same.
Multi-purchase skills can be purchased multiple times to grant the same ability. This type of
skill will be marked and it costs +1 EXP per additional purchase.
Class Categories, Tiers, and Titles
Class abilities are split into 6 categories and each offer different skills and powers: Combat,
Guile, Arcane, Divine, Academic, Crafting and Labor. Life Energy is another category; however,
it does not follow the same progression as other categories. Each category is split into 4 tiers:
Novice, Apprentice, Journeyman, and Master. Everyone starts at the Novice tier. To proceed to
another tier, you must gain a title thats earned by meeting various requirements. At Journeyman,
titles become more specific. Master titles are even more unique and have multiple ways of
achievement. The destination for class abilities is the Grand-Master tier, which does not grant a
list of skills, but instead offers a few powerful abilities. There are no restrictions to the amount of
titles you can get at Apprentice and lower. You can only get 5 Journeyman titles, 2 Master titles,
and 1 Grandmaster Perk.
48
 EXAMPLE

Hybrid Titles and Jack of All Trades

There are 2 different kinds of titles that do not follow the normal layout of the other class titles.
Hybrid Titles are titles earned by spending Exp in 2 specific categories, and they grant access to
abilities within 2 separate categories or subcategories within the next tier. Hybrid titles generally
require less Exp spent in a single category than a normal title does, but about the same in total.
Hybrid categories generally start at the journeyman level. However due to the large amount of
possible hybrid titles that could exist, there is an option on the Karma Point store where you can
spend Karma Points to create a custom title that can be as early as Apprentice tier. The other
kind of title that differs from normal starts with Jack of All Trades, which is accessible at the
Apprentice tier. This title, and others related to it, require a certain amount of Exp spent across
multiple categories and grants access to multiple categories within the next tier. The apprentice
tile Jack of All Trades and the related journeyman title Master of None have specific
requirements and restrictions, but offer access to a lot of abilities.

Legendary
There is a point in every story where an adventurer leaves other heroes behind, and becomes the
stuff of legends. (Pre-req: level 40) (Cost: 0 exp). Once per weekend, instead of using an "Epic,"
you can instead use the prefix Legendary. This follows the same rules as Epic, however a
Legendary power also grants 1 free use of Epic to all of your allies that heard it.
Legendary powers can only be defended against by Legendary powers. Legendary cannot
be used by NPCs unless given specific permission by the plot marshal.

Between Event and NPC Shift Skills
The players characters continue to affect the game world after the events have ended. To
represent this, we have an online forum where you can roleplay with other players and Between
Event Skills. At the end of every event, each player gets a set amount of between event actions
that they can do. At base, everyone starts with 1 action. You write this action on your character
card in the Between Event Notes section before you hand it in. Everyone starts with three
actions that they can do, but you can learn passive skills that grant you more options or enhance
the options that you currently have. Responses to Between Event Skills will usually be given
at the beginning of the next event.
If you request something for a between event action and then cannot attend the following event,
modules and encounters related to that action are still most likely going to happen. NPCs (and
plot) will react accordingly In-Game, as if your character requested something and did not show
up. The consequence can be lessened if you contact plot before the event you are going to miss
and let them know, and if your character contacts those involved IG and explains that they will
not be available.
The three starting actions are:
Send Missive: Your character sends a message to someone that they know. Write a
message and the name of the NPC that you wish to send it to. If your desired NPC cannot be
reached, then you might get information about why they could not be reached.
Voyage: Your character is leaving the city and traveling to another location within the
Nation of Vorydia. Write down the destination and what you hope to achieve there. Certain
destinations might require RP points or ties to certain factions. At base, this skill only allows
you to travel within Vorydia. However, you can travel further by purchasing certain items or
learning certain abilities. Using Voyage allows you to Roleplay within different online
forums specific to the location that you are traveling to.
Quest: When enacting a Quest as your BEA at the end of the event, choose 1 of the
following: Nobility, the Watch, or Baptism. Choosing Nobility means that you seek to
become a squire or advance your current noble position. If you are not yet a squire, please
state what Duchy and possibly what Knight you wish to serve. Choosing the Watch means
that you wish to join or increase your position in the Vorydian Watch. Choosing baptism
means that you seek to get Baptized. Please state what god you wish to get baptized too.
Embarking on a quest is different from other BEAs because it uses up at least 2 consecutive
events worth of BEAs, devoting all of your actions during that time to the quest. An extra
events worth of actions could be required if what you are seeking is of a higher rank or
difficult to attain. This will require some forum RP by the character seeking this out, and
will usually result in a write-up that you will be given detailing what happened during the
quest and/or a ceremony at the event after your quest is over.
50
Items
Items exist that can be purchased and added to your Between
Event Action. These items must be purchased in-game.
However, some items require being purchased at Logistics when
you are handing in your character card. You would hand the IG
money in with your card. If an item or ability states that it grants
you a set amount of actions, you cannot combine it with another
item or ability that grants a set amount of actions. However,
items or abilities that grant +X actions are combinable.
Here are a few items that can alter your BEAs:
1. Telegraph: Using a Telegraph allows you to do 2 actions as
long as 1 of them is Send Missive. Some towns have a
Telegraph Service that you can use for 5 Silver per missive.
You may also permanently buy a telegraph that you can
constantly use for 10 Gold.
2. Steam Train: Using a steam train can allow you to do 2
actions, as long as 1 of them is Voyage. The Train can still
only take you to places within Vorydia. Some towns may
have a train station where you can purchase a ticket for 1
Gold. Train stations can only be found in capital cities.
3. Caravan: Using a Caravan can allow you to use Voyage to
travel to other areas on the continent of Tristas. Some towns
may have a caravan depot where you can purchase a ticket for 1.5 Gold.
4. Horse: Using a horse can allow you to do 2 actions, as long as 1 of them is Voyage. The
horse can take you anywhere on the continent of Tristas, however there is safety in numbers.
There is more of a chance that you will encounter danger while traveling outside of Vorydia
by yourself or with only a few riders. Most towns have a stable where you can rent a horse
for 4 Gold. You may also permanently buy a horse to allow for constant access for 15 Gold.
5. Airship and Steamboat: Using an airship or steamboat can allow you to use Voyage to
travel to other continents. Steamboats are only accessible in port cities or towns on the
water. Steamboat tickets cost 8 Gold. Various cities might have an airship dock where you
can purchase an airship ticket for 10 Gold. It may possible to purchase an airship or
steamboat, but that will have to be sought out in game.

51
NPC Shift Skills
Some skills may allow you to do actions during your NPC shift. To activate this ability, you
must sign in to your NPC shift on time and sign your name on the NPC shift roster. When you
leave NPC, you must also sign yourself out and make sure that you speak to a marshal.
Depending on the skill that you are using, you might need to talk to a plot marshal to get
information or to a logistics marshal who can give you money, components or items that you
may have earned while your character was out. You many only use 1 NPC shift skill per shift,
unless specified otherwise.
Some between event skills may also be used during your NPC shift. The same rules apply to
each type of skill. In addition, you can use the same action or skill during your NPC shift and
between events.

Racial Skills and Paragon
As your character becomes more experienced, their connection with their racial heritage grows.
When you achieve level 10, you get 3 more racials that you can choose from. You pick 1 that
you gain at the start of the next event. Every 5 levels that you achieve, you get 3 more options,
from which you pick 1. Gaining racials is related to your experience earned, not experience
spent, and racial skills always cost no Exp.
Each of the 3 racials that your character can learn is related to a certain path achievable as a
member of that race. At level 30, your character can unlock one of these Paragon paths.
Becoming Paragon means that you are the pinnacle of your race and have mastered certain
abilities that were locked away in your blood or passed down by your people. To earn a certain
paragon, you must have learned at least 3 of the racials within that paragons path as you
developed. Gaining Paragon grants you 3 powerful abilities that you can now use, as well as a
slight change in your racial makeup or costume. Becoming Paragon is an option that you do not
have to take, especially if you have problems with adding makeup or prosthetics to your
costume. However, if you do not choose to become paragon, then you do not gain the paragon
benefits. If you do have a problem with makeup or prosthetics but you still want to become a
paragon that require them, please talk to a Game Master and we will work with you on how you
can achieve the required look while taking your restrictions into consideration.
Keeper of the Ways
At level 35, paragons gain two new abilities.
You may work with a member of your race to rearrange the racial abilities that they have
learned. Once per weekend per person, you may help them learn and unlearn 1 ability. You
may only do this with a Paragon member of your race if it will not cause them to be
unqualified for paragon.
Only applies to Clockworks, Dhampyre, Lycanthropes, Planar, and Pookah. You gain the
ability to perform a ritual that allows a Human, Elf, Dwarf, Gork, or Ophidian to change
permanently into your race. To perform this ritual, you need 1 member of each type of
paragon (3 people) within your race to gather together and perform a 15-minute ritual on the
target. The target must be willing. Requires a plot marshal.
The rituals are as follows:
Clockworks
Geist Re-birth: A metal body is created. This empty vessel is attuned to the target. The
mortals body is placed to sleep, and the paragon leaders use the power of their Geists to
forge the targets soul into a Geist and transfer it into the vessel.
Dhampyre
The Blood Sharing: The paragons must drink the blood of the target, near to the point of
death. Then the target must drink the blood of the paragons to join them in undeath.
56
 Lycanthropes
The Rite of the Moon: Must be done on or near a full moon. The target must spend the
evening with the paragons in the forest, hunting and becoming one with nature. Then the
target will be bitten by each paragon and have to survive the night, as the transformation
takes hold.
Planar
Prayer for Divine Blood: In a holy or blessed area, the paragons must pray to the divine
beings and gods that they are related to. They must beseech the divine to gift the target
with divine blood. Although the target can ask for a certain heritage, the outcome is
completely up to the gods (and could result in refusal).
Pookah
The Spirit Merge: Must be done in a natural setting where the animal that the target
would like to merge with might live. The target must prepare themselves to be as
inviting and tempting to the spirit animal as possible. The paragons will aid the target in
baiting out the spirit animal, ensuring the connection between the spirit and mortal, and
aiding them as the spirit and body merge.

57
 Chapter 11: Races
In the Chronicles of Rowanon, there are 10 different playable races. Every playable race is listed
here, along with their racial abilities and weaknesses, minimum costuming requirements, and
potential paragons. The racial costuming that is listed is the least amount required. You may
add other interesting embellishments to your race as you see fit.

Race Overview
Clockworks. Machines with their own minds and will. Clockworks are beings made of metal,
cogs, and a touch of mortal soul.
Dhampyre. Dhampyre are noble living dead beings with a thirst for blood.
Dwarves. Sturdy bearded folk that dwell deep within the ground. Dwarves are known for their
accomplished craftsmen and engineers.
Elves. The Elves are a mystical race, embodying a unique mixture of magic and nature. There
are many different species of Elves, each one embodying a different element. The
species consist of the magical Tuatha, the shadowy Drau, the natural Sylphids, the
bloodthirsty cave dwelling Re'Kah, the icy Ondine, and the flighty Hauflin.
Gorks. The brutish, yet simple, Gorks are a quirky and diverse race known for their strength,
craftiness, desire to be useful, and their love of food.
Humans. One of the most abundantly common races in the world is the Humans.
Lycanthropes. Lycanthropes are the shape-changing predators of the forest that are swayed by
the light of the full moon.

58
Ophidians. The graceful Ophidians appear similar to normal Humans, but just underneath their
skin you can see writhing snakes that stretch out like veins. Ophidians are known for
their aptitude with Poisons.
Planars. In a world where the deities are ever-present in the lives of mortals, it is not surprising
to see a race touched by the very gods and goddesses of the divine. Planars are beings
that are descended from the union of divine and mortal. Each Planar is a little bit
different, harkening to the many varieties of divine creatures that they could be
descended from.
Pookah. Pookah are the combination of mortal bodies with animal spirits, the spirits physical
features showing through into the mortal form. Each Pookah looks different based on
the mortal body, the type of animal spirit, and the way that they combined.

59
 Clockworks
Long ago, in the time of Rowanons creation, there existed a race of beings. This race would
prove integral in the construction of our world. These people were not of flesh and blood. Their
skin was iron, brass, and copper. Their innards were tubing, gears, and cogs. Within their
metallic shells there was a soul and a mind capable of free thought. They would come to be
called clockworks, a race of automatons, crafted by the great forger himself, Keld.

Playing a Clockwork
You are a living piece of technology. A metal
body filled with a mortal soul. You have a
primary function: Labor, Combat, or
Knowledge seeking. Will you let this function
define you, or will you stray from your set
programming? Your Geist (soul) is what allows
you to feel emotions and empathize with others.
But sometimes you might need your Geist to
empower your inner workings, and the less
power your geist has, the weaker is your grip
upon your emotions. Will you become as hard
and cold as the metal that youre made of, or
will you strive to become as mortal as the fleshy
creatures that walk around you?

Costuming Requirements
All exposed skin must appear metal, using real or faux metal body armor, bits of metal
costuming, and/or makeup.

62
 Dhampyre
Dhampyre are the half-breed offspring of ancient vampire beings that use to roam Rowanon in
its earliest days. Eons ago, the blood of mortals mingled with the blood of Unlife. From these
pairings arose a new race unto itself, a race of living dead creatures. These creatures became
known as the Dhampyre.

Playing a Dhampyre
You are a creature caught between life and death. You have
an insatiable desire to feed on the blood of mortals, but
when your thirst is quenched, you can be calm and
collected. Will you drink to keep your composure, let your
desire consume you, or relish the act of draining your
victims? Dhampyre have created a noble aristocratic society.
Will you stand at the top amongst the noblest of your kind,
fall to the bottom amongst the dregs of death, or master the
strength of your bloodline to protect that which matters most
to you?

Costuming Requirements
Fangs and blue veins on your face. Optional: Pale skin.
Racial Weakness
Curse of Vampirism: Dhampyre need to feed on blood. A Dhampyre must drain at least 10
Blood points every event. You can only feed on a mortal who is willing, bound, unconscious,
or incapacitated. To feed on someone, you must roleplay drinking their blood. You drain 1 point
of Blood every 10 seconds. For each point of Blood drained, the target takes 1 direct damage.
Draining Blood does not heal you, and can awaken a incapacitated or unconscious target.
After draining Blood, write down on your character card how much you drank, who you drank
from, and that person must sign their name. If the requirement is not met, the Dhampyre starts
the next event affected by Blood Frenzy: Vaea, Steam and Aether caps decrease by 5. You are
under a Rampage effect with the goal of draining Blood. You gain the feat Vicious Bite: (To
use: 4 steam or aether) Tag target. If successful, the target takes 10 direct damage and you drink
10 Blood instantly. Draining at least 1 point of Blood stops the Rampage, but does not end
Blood Frenzy. Drinking 10 Blood ends Blood Frenzy and raises the pool caps back to normal.

63
Racial Abilities

on their blood. Once completed, the target is affected by a mental effect. They believe
that they gave you consent to feed upon them and will offer no resistance. If you drain
more than 10 Blood or drop them to 0 Vaea, then the effect wears off and they are
immediately aware that they did not give consent. Any victim made aware in this way is
immune to "Only a Nibble" for the next hour. This affect fades normally once you
complete your feeding, but the target still remembers consenting.
Blood is Life: Feeding on Blood heals you 1 Vaea for each point that you drain.

 Elves
The Elves are somewhat mysterious and nearly as ancient as the Dwarves. They have an origin
that is not fully understoodThe Elves claim that they were woven by Aurelius Arcanum Himself
by combining the essence of life and the power of the Nexus Whatever their true origins, the
Elves are a collection of aloof and mysterious people that are found throughout the world. They
all share a deep respect for the Natural Order and live side-by-side with the world in harmony.

Playing an Elf
You are a mixture of magic and nature. A long-lived race filled with
wisdom and intelligence. The elves are closely intertwined with the
elements of the universe. Because of this, there are many species of
elves, each attributed to a different element. The wise, long-lived
Tuathan people flow with magic. The agile, flighty, often merry,
Hauflins are connected to the wind and lightning. The icy, majestic
Ondine are known as the children of an old dead ice god. The shadowy
Drau are a people who thrive in the darkness. The blood thirsty Re'kah,
also known as "Redcaps," hailed from within the earth. The wild,
winged Sylphids prove that creatures of nature can be beautiful but
deadly. Will you exemplify your element and protect the world, or
follow other winding, darker paths?

Racial Costuming
All elves have small pointed ears and stylized face markings in the color of the element
associated with your chosen species: Tuatha (Magic. Blue, Purple, or Green), Ondine (Ice. White
or Light Blue), Haulfin (Lightning. White or Yellow), Drau (Darkness. Black or White), Rekah
(Earth. Grey or Red), and Sylphid (Nature. Green or Brown). You may also choose to start with
your paragons costuming, but your character must be older.
Racial Weakness
Aether-Touched Mind: To defend against a Charm or Dominate effect, you must spend 2 extra
pool. This must be spent even when using a Latent defense. Also, Elves can never truly be

next 5 minutes.

 Gorks
Gorks are a quirky and diverse race. They are easygoing and like to prove their usefulness.
Gorks are a green-skinned people who can all trace their heritage back to a single legendary
figure called Gorg Broodar the Mighty. The Gorks were slowly dying from a world that had
forsaken them after the Sundering. Back then people called them by different names, such as orc
and goblin. Their numbers were dwindling and no one seemed to care. Finally, the remaining
Gorks were huddled together in a sinister part of the Scath woods, sick and hopeless. It is
written that then, in their darkest hour, the gods sent them a heroic figure, Grandpa Gorg, who
appeared out of the shadows of the Scath and delivered them from extinction.
Playing a Gork
Gorks are somewhat of a monstrous people. Their
simple and often barbaric ways seem to set them apart
from other civilized races. Complex ideas are difficult
for Gorks to understand. But a Gork will always try
their hardest with everything that they do. Gorks have a
simple way of looking at the world that others dont
often see, which affects many aspects of their life, most
obviously seen in their odd way of crafting. Generally,
Gorks are easy to understand. You love a good fight,
helping your friends and family, and eating a good meal.
As a Gork, you have a lot of history against you. But
its based on other races. Not Gorks. Nows the time

Humans
Humans are a versatile and widespread people on Rowanon. It is written, in eons past, that the
humans are not actually native to Rowanon, but arrived from some other plane or star in the
infancy of the world. It is said that they fled some great
terror that drove them from their old home, and that the
gods welcomed them onto Rowanon with open arms.
Humans seem to be able to excel at anything if they work
hard enough.
Playing a Human
Humans are the most populous race on Rowanon. Its hard
to find a city or town without at least a few humans in it.
You might not be as a strong, resilient, long lived, or
divinely connected as other races, but you also have very
few weaknesses. Humans always seem to strive for more in
their lives. It is as if they seek to find their purpose in this
world, or at least to leave a mark upon it before their final
breath.
Racial Costuming
None
Racial Weakness
Mortal Coil-: You start with only 4 lives.
When a human character dies their final death, they can continue to play as a Ghost. The player
must consult with plot and rules to turn their character into a ghost. Together, you come up
with your characters unfinished business, which is a goal that the ghost is driven to
accomplish or see accomplished. Once that goal has been achieved, then the ghost will finally
be able to complete their journey into the afterlife. You will also work to decide what items and
weapons became incorporeal and what your costuming is (using whites, blacks and greys, with
a green glow). Ghosts are lost denizens of the Astral realm. They do not exist in the physical
world and are not capable of freely interacting with it. Their physical form is gone and only
their spirit remains. You count as a Spirit and considered an advanced form of Incorporeal
(immune to normal damage and physical feats) called Ethereal (you can only be damaged by
spells and magical effects). As Incorporeal, you cannot physically interact with anything.
Because you are Ethereal, you cannot speak within the mortal realm. By expending 1 Aether or
Steam, you can become corporeal for 5 mins. During this time, you may interact fully with the
physical world, allowing you to touch, speak, and fight. You may sustain manifestation for as
long as you can sustain the pool cost. You gain the ability to turn Invisible by spending 2
76
Aether or Steam. During this time, you may move at a heel-to-toe pace. This lasts for 1 minute,
but can be ended at will. As a Ghost, you have all the skills and memories that you had in life.

the astral plane. Ghosts cannot self-teach or learn from scrolls.

capability, and the curse, of transforming into a werewolf or werebear. Lycanthropes across the
world are shunned by many societies because some lack the ability to control themselves when
they shift, and when the moon is full they always shift!

Playing a Lycanthrope
Mortal by day, monster by the light of the full moon. That is
the curse of the Lycanthrope. You live a difficult life shunned
by those who fear you and always battling the beast inside of
you. Will you see this as a hateful curse that should be hidden
from sight? Will you seek the aid of the Nature twins, their
followers, and creatures to help tame the beast within? Or
will you embrace the monster and use it to rip apart your
enemies? Those are the questions asked by all Lycans at one
point or another. But whether you are a pack leader, a
parental bear, a lone wolf, or a Lycan in secret, you certainly
have the power to attain greatness.
Racial Costuming
Lycanthropes normally appear as the race of the characters
mortal ancestry. When transformed, you need a wolf or bear
mask. Additional wolf or bear costuming is optional.

Racial Weakness
Moonkin: When there is a full moon during an event (or as designated by the plot team), you
lose control of yourself and fully transform into a Werewolf or Werebear. For each full moon
event, Plot will announce when the transformation starts and ends. Besides full moons, there are
other powers and effects that could cause you transform, so keep your mask nearby. While
transformed, Lycans lose their memory and all semblance of who they are, what they are, who
their friends, etc. You lose the ability to differentiate between friend and foe, and are compelled
to attack anything that you deem a threat or a possible source of food (similar to a Rampage
effect). The Lycan becomes aggressive and must roleplay as such. Lycans lose all cognitive
speech, ability to understand spoken and written languages, spell-casting, and the ability to use
weapons, armor, and most items. When the transformation ends, you painfully return to your
mortal form with no memory of what happened during your transformation (feel free to print out
the following page for reference).

 Ophidians
Ophidians present a rather disturbing visage to the world. They resemble Humans in all but one
thing, which is the writhing mass of snakes seen just under the surface of their skin. Ophidians
are known for their aptitude with Poisons, and being able to halt enemies in their tracks. Despite
their semi-monstrous appearance, Ophidians are civilized and respected for their intelligence.
They tend to be mildly matrilineal and matriarchal, but not to an oppressive extent.

Playing an Ophidian
Youre a mysterious and rare kind. Ophidians
are both beautiful and disturbing. Because of
this, you might be considered a monster. It is
up to you to decide whether you will live up
to the misconceptions or work to change
them. You are especially good with Poisons,
almost to the point where you feel that you are
more capable of utilizing them than other
races. You feel a kinship to Gorks because of
your races shared history and the biases
placed upon both of you. However, Gorks feel
that Ophidians have abandoned them. Will
you try to befriend and guide them, or let
them survive on their own?

 Planar
It is a rare, but not unheard of, occurrence for divine agents of the gods, and even the gods
themselves, to appear and even move within the mortal realm. Some even live in disguise,
pursuing some purpose of their divine masters for quite some time among the mortals. By all
accounts, divine beings are capable of love, or lust, just like those of the mortal races. This is
where Planars come from.
Playing a Planar
One of the most awe-inspiring races, Planars are
children caught between two worlds: the divine world
and the mortal world. You have divine blood running
through veins. The divine connection may be passed
down from a familial bloodline or inherited from a
divine parent. Many times, Planars know nothing
about their divine heritage. Some seek to understand
this heritage, and others seek to bury it. Each god has
tenets that their worshippers follow. Will you live as
directed by the god you are related to or stray from
that path to find your own? There are many different
species of Planars, each one related to a different
divine creature. Winged Celestials are commonly
descended from Lyranas Seraphim (white), Morwyns Valkyrists (red), or Morcants Reapers
(black). Wicked Abyssals are commonly descended from Zigaines Brood or demon spawn.
Wise Draconic Planar are commonly descended from the Aurelius Arcanums arcane dragons.
While these are the common bloodlines, many others may exist, however they would manifest as
1 of the 3 types of Planar. If you would like to play a Planar descended from a different divine
creature or God, you must work with Plot. This may result in more costuming and Affinity.
Racial Costuming
One feature, from the paragon description, denoting Celestial, Draconic, or Abyssal.
Racial Weakness
Gift of Obsession: The Planar must work with a Marshal to choose one Addiction/Obsession.
Your Addiction/Obsession can be an item (mechanical/non-mechanical), a concept, or an
ideology. For example, a celestial, descended from Seraphim, could choose honor, and will
fulfill their Addiction if they do something honorable once every 2 periods. The Addiction must
be appropriate and approved by a marshal. You are permanently affected by Addiction, with
the chosen concept, item, or ideology being the focus. This follows the normal rules of Addiction
and Withdrawal, except Withdrawal is permanent until alleviated by fulfilling the Addiction, and
the Addiction cannot be cured.

comprehend as a mortal with various bestial and wild tendencies

talent that requires a workbench. If you are using an augment or ability such as Hybrid
Mixture, Integrate Device, Smelting, or Dual Crafting, one crafting kit will work for all
items involved. One crafting kit is sufficient for everyone involved in a Collaborative
Effort, as only one item is being made that way.
Home at the Workshop: (3 Exp.) (Pre-req: any crafting bundle) (Between-Event Action.)
Allows you to work on up to 5 items per use of this Between Event Action. Those 5 can
be any combination of items being crafted or repaired (if you have the General Repair

gain 1 Common component appropriate to the node youre at and what Knowledge you
have. You can only harvest minerals if you have Knowledge Mineralogy and you can
only harvest plants and animals if you have Knowledge Nature. Aether Veins give 1
mineral, Vernal Flowers give 1 plant, Autumnal Remains give 1 animal, and Lunaar Ores
and Solaar Dews each give 1 of any type of component of choice. You do not buy this
talent multiple times to be able to harvest each type of component, you only need to have
the correct Knowledge.
Dissect Components: (3 Exp.) (Pre-req: Knowledge Medicine or Nature) (To Use: Rp 1min.)
Must spend the talent time RPing harvesting from a character who is either dead or in
their second or Third Stage Death Count. This ability will not work on Mortals unless

130
Sunders the item and you get a Common component from it (the type of component depends on
what the item was made of). Doors, furniture, structures, or constructs cannot be
Sundered this way. Breaking an item this way is loud; the usage count must be spoken at
a normal speaking volume at least and not whispered or mumbled. If the item is already
Sundered (including broken doors, furniture, structures, and dead constructs), this entire
process takes just 1 minute and may be done quietly, but the item is Destroyed absolutely
and cannot be repaired.
General Repair: (3 Exp.) (Pre-req: any crafting bundle) (To Use: RP 10/5min per tier)
Requires a workbench. Repairs any Sundered or Inert item to full Hardness and working
condition (items that have been Destroyed cannot be repaired this way). The items tier
must be equal to or lesser than your highest crafting bundle tier (if the item normally has
no tier, consider it Novice). Anything that reduces crafting time applies to repairing as
well (except for Makers Style: Rush Job). Takes a base of 10 minutes per tier or a base
of 5 minutes instead if you can make the item. If you are repairing a suit of armor whose
Armor Rating has been damaged by Rend or a similar effect, one use of General Repair
will return that suit to its full Armor Rating. This process follows the rules for pausing
crafting time based on item tier if interrupted.
Detect Booby Trap: (1 Exp.) (Pre-req: Knowledge Engineering) (To Use: RP 30 seconds)

shoes). Devices from different tiers may be combined this way. Choose one of the
devices to be the centerpiece (devices that are considered integration hubs can ONLY be
centerpieces), then the second device is stored within or attached to it in some way. It is
encouraged that the items phys-rep should appear as a hybrid of the two devices, but it is
acceptable to have only the centerpiece device as the phys-rep (especially if you are
trying to In-Game hide the fact that something else is hidden within the device).

additional +1 Strength. You do not have to be wearing this ornament when the ritual is
first cast on you to get its benefit. Multiple Bands of Might do not stack, and characters
who do not have a Ritual of Strength active on them gain no benefit from wearing a Band
of Might.
Imbued Chain: (To Make: 10min, 2 Pool, 1 Uncommon Mineral) Ornament. Phys-rep should
be a small length of chain, preferably woven together like chainmail but not required.

Effigy. Phys-rep should be a small doll, trinket, or some other strange object. Hardness
1. When this effigy is made, the maker must choose one deity. If the RP for an
Apprentice or lower Divine ritual or prayer to the chosen deity focuses on this effigy, it
removes the cost from a single Pool of the users choice. The effigy is consumed in the

if Mineral). This shield/each piece of this armor has -1 Hardness and a half/full-suit of

Pool cost to make this shield/each piece of this armor is removed (the cost of augments is
unchanged) and it may be made with components one level of rarity lower than usual to a
minimum of Common. These changes are included in the above requirements. If this
property would be Smelted, the following effects are used instead:
The final product is made using only the other propertys component costs (and
components one rarity lower than what that property normally needs may be used, to a
minimum of Common).
The final products base Pool cost is equal to half of the other propertys base Pool cost,

8pm and 8am, or when in a dark area, while wearing a half-suit of this armor, you may
pay 2 Steam to use the Camouflage talent once per Period, even if you dont know it. If
you are wearing a full-suit of this armor, you may use it two times per Period between
8pm and 8am (paying 2 Steam each time). If you already know Camouflage, then instead
it takes 15 seconds quicker to use in a half-suit and 30 seconds quicker to use in a full-
suit.

192
Swift Armor: (To Make: 10min, 2 Pool, 1 Uncommon Animal/Plant) Hardness 2. While

Novice smith weapons.
Subdual Weapon: (To Make: 5min, 1 Pool, 1 Common Plant) Hardness 1. This weapons
crafting requirements and base Hardness are different from other Apprentice weapon
properties. The weapon is made primarily out of wood and cloth and is designed to bruise
and incapacitate rather than to wound and kill an opponent. This weapon can only ever
deal 1 Subdual damage unless a Greater effect changes it or something else specifically
says so otherwise. However, any Subdual Proficiencies you have will also apply to
damage dealt by this weapon (for two-handed weapons, every other Subdual Proficiency
grants +2 damage instead of +1). Cannot be put on bows or crossbows.
Hardened Weapon: (To Make: 10min, 2 Pool, 1 Uncommon Mineral/Plant) Hardness 1 (or 2 if

Mineral). Cannot be put on throwing weapons or arrows/bolts. When wielded in one
hand, you gain +1 Natural Armor Rating that cannot be damaged by Rend and similar
effects. This effect stacks if wielding two of these weapons. Weapons wielded in two
hands gain +2 Natural Armor Rating that cannot be damaged by Rend or similar abilities
instead. However, because of the different weight caused by the defensive emphasis, this
weapon deals -1 damage, to a minimum of 1.
Apprentice Feat Weapon: (To Make: 10min, 2 Pool, 1 Uncommon Mineral/Plant) Hardness 2
(or 3 if Mineral). Cannot be put on bows or crossbows. When this weapon is first made,

knows. That feat costs 1 less Steam to a minimum of 1 if it is delivered through this
weapon. Wielding multiple feat weapons of the same feat will not stack.
Shadowed Weapon: (To Make: 10min, 2 Pool, 1 Uncommon Mineral/Plant) Hardness 2 (or 3 if

arrows/bolts. This weapon deals +2 damage when delivered to the targets back.

Mineral). Can only be put on small weapons, fist weapons, one-handed weapons, bows,
and crossbows. Grants+1 Soak while wielded if you are not wearing more armor than a

strikes the target for at least 1 point of damage (ingested concoctions no longer deal
Direct damage when delivered this way). If attacking with a hollow throwing weapon or
hollow arrow/bolt, that ranged attack must be the one you deliver the concoction with if it
hits. One dose of a concoction can fill up to 3 arrows/bolts or throwing weapons. If this
property would be Smelted, the other propertys Hardness is always used for the final
product, and then it gets the -1 Hardness penalty (this property cant be put on an item if
it would bring its Hardness to 0). Cannot be Smelted with a subdual weapon.

194
Springbound Weapon : (To Make: 10min, 2 Pool, 1 Uncommon Mineral/Plant, must have
Knowledge Engineering or have an assistant who does) Hardness 2 (or 3 if Mineral).
Small weapon, fist weapon, throwing weapon, or crossbow only. Cannot be put directly
on arrows/bolts (see description). This weapon counts as a device for the purposes of
Integrate Device. You can Integrate multiple springbound weapons into one device.

Weapons that must be wielded in two hands (including Bastard Weapons) count as
Integration Hubs. If this weapon requires ammunition, then one arrow/bolt at a time can

Mineral). Cannot be put on arrows/bolts. When you take Bane damage (more than
Minimal) from another character, this weapon deals +2 damage to all targets for 15
seconds. Any additional Bane damage dealt to you during this time resets the duration to
15 seconds.
Splinter Bolts: (To Make: 10min, 2 Pool, 1 Uncommon Mineral) Hardness 1. Can only be put
on Arrows/Bolts.This item has -2 Hardness. Each arrow/bolt deals +3 damage, but it is
destroyed and irretrievable after each shot whether it hits or misses (it cannot be repaired
or Salvaged). If this property would be Smelted, the other propertys Hardness is always
used for the final product, and then it gets the -2 Hardness penalty. Cannot be Smelted
with a subdual weapon.
Astral Weapon: (To Make: 10min, 2 Pool, 1 Uncommon Mineral/Plant) Hardness 2 (or 3 if
Mineral). Cannot be put on arrows/bolts. Once this weapon tastes the null essence of an
incorporeal creature, its true power awakens. If this weapon has No Effect when trying
to damage an incorporeal character with it, then for the next minute this weapons
damage type becomes Astral (with each attack, you may choose for it to override any
other damage type that the weapon could deal, including Subdual but excluding Divine
and Void, or deal whatever type damage it was before). Astral damage does not do Bane
to any known creatures, but it can simply affect incorporeal creatures without the user
needing to attune themselves to an Affinity or to learn magic. If put onto a bow or
crossbow and any arrow/bolt fired from it has No Effect on an incorporeal creature, then
the bow or crossbow itself will infuse every arrow/bolt fired from it with Astral damage
for the standard duration. If an astral throwing weapon has No Effect on an incorporeal
creature, then all astral throwing weapons in your possession will now deal Astral
damage for the standard duration.

195
Surplus Weapon: (To Make: 10min, 1 Common Mineral/Plant) Hardness 1 (or 2 if Mineral).
This weapon has -1 Hardness and -1 Damage (to a minimum of 1 Damage). However,
the base Pool cost to make this weapon is removed (the cost of augments is unchanged)
and it may be made with components one level of rarity lower than usual to a minimum
of Common. These changes are included in the above requirements. If this property
would be Smelted, the following effects are used instead:
The final product is made using only the other propertys component costs (and
components one rarity lower than what that property normally needs may be used, to a
minimum of Common).
The final products base Pool cost is equal to half of the other propertys base Pool cost,
rounded down (the cost of augments is unchanged).
The other propertys Hardness is always used for the final product, and then the weapon
gets the -1 Hardness penalty.
The weapon deals -1 Damage, to a minimum of 1 Damage.

item that must fall under one of your crafting bundles. Between events, come up with the name,
idea, and some rough rules or a concept for how you imagine it working and submit it to the
Rules team. The Rules team will determine if you succeeded and thus make that item In-Game,
or if you fail and must go back to the drawing board. You may submit 1 invention for each use
of Home at the Workshop that you use between events.

and only you have access to it. If you so choose, you may spend 5 minutes per tier of the
invention to create a schematic for it that can be given to other characters (you can create any

invention. If the schematic is given to or sold to the Wayfarers Guild, Crafters Guild, or similar

characters will be able to make it as if it were a common item starting the next Event (and all

Gadgets, then the final product takes 8 minutes less to make.
Dual Crafting: (4 Exp.) (Pre-req: Artisan) You can make two different items at once. This
means that the crafting time required may be paid simultaneously. Each item counts as
its own project for the purposes of Pool costs, component costs, Makers Styles,
augments, devices being used, Collaborative Efforts, etc. The two items being made do
not have to share the same tier, bundle requirements, crafting time, or anything else.
Extra Profession: (8 Exp.) (Pre-req: Profession) +1 use of Profession between events.
Extra Job: (3 Exp.) (Pre-req: 2 different Professions) You gain an additional Profession of
choice when you learn this ability. This Profession can be more than the usual 2
Profession limit. This ability does not actually give you additional uses of Profession
between Events, it just gives you another one to pick from when you use the Profession
Action or get a Raise.
Absent but Not Idle: (3 Exp.) If you FTNPC an event, each of your characters that have this
ability gains +1 Between Event Action of your choice to use between this event and the
next. They are considered to have been doing one of their Actions during the Event. This
ability still applies even if you gain PC shifts while full-time NPCing.
Part-Time Scrounger: (2 Exp.) Your Raises and Harvesting Proficiencies now apply to the
appropriate rewards earned during NPCing.
Quick Worker: (3 Exp.) (Pre-req: either Gather Components, Dissect Components, or Salvage
Components) (Multi-Purchase) The time needed to Gather Components is reduced by 1
minute, to a minimum of 5 minutes per pruchase. The time needed to Dissect
Components and Salvage Components is reduced by 10 seconds, to a minimum of 10
seconds per purchase.
Foraging: (4 Exp.) (Pre-req: Gather Components) You may choose to spend double the base
time while using Gather Components. If you do, you gain +2 components of the same
type and rarity as what you were gathering. This ability may not be used along with other
abilities or items that reduce harvesting time such as Quick Worker or a Harvomatic
device.

256
Anatomical Familiarity: (5 Exp.) (Pre-req- Dissect Components) For 1 hour after Dissecting
Components from a creature, you gain +2 Healing Proficiencies and +2 First Aid
Proficiencies to targets of that creature type and deal +2 physical and magical damage to
them as well.
Hopeful Scraper: (4 Exp.) (Pre-req: Salvage Components) Breaking down junk for scrap in the
hopes of finding something valuable or useful always fills you with energy. Whenever
you successfully destroy an item with Salvage Components, you heal +5 Steam or Aether
in any combination.

257
 Journeyman Engineer Abilities
Volatile Ballistics: (4 Exp.) (Pre-req: Overclock Gun) When you use Overclock Gun, you may
choose for the firearm to get +1 damage on the next shot for every 5 seconds you spend
tinkering with it (to a maximum of +10 damage). If you do, the shot must be fired within
5 seconds after you finish tinkering or the firearm will explode, dealing its damage as a
Bomb centered on itself and becoming broken until repaired.
Augment: Telescopic Device: (3 Exp.) (Pre-req: any Journeyman Engineer bundle) Can only be
used when crafting a device. Adds +10 minutes and +4 pool to the items final crafting
costs. The device can fold in on itself to greatly reduce its size when not in use. It takes 5
seconds to collapse or expand the device (the device can only be used while expanded).
While collapsed, the device is considered small enough to fit within a Concealment
pouch. This augment cannot be put on devices that are considered integration hubs.
Augment: Dastardly Traps: (6 Exp.) (Pre-req: Journeyman Hazards bundle) Can only be used
when crafting a Guile trap device or booby trap device. Adds +15 minutes and +6 pool
to the items final crafting costs. Once triggered, the trap reactivates itself automatically
once every 30 seconds unless the trap itself is destroyed.
Overclock Workbench: (5 Exp.) (Pre-req: Kit Creation, Makers Style: Rush Job, and any
Journeyman Engineer bundle) (Talent) (To Use: 5 Min RP). Also costs 1 Crafting Kit
and can only be used on permanent Workbenches. For the next 3 times the workbench is
used to make an item, the crafter may use the Rush Job ability even if they dont have it.
If the crafter does already have Rush Job, then it does not add additional points to the
pool cost of the item being made and any augments applied to it. After 3 items have been
made at this workbench, the workbench itself becomes broken and cannot be used until
repaired (workbenches count as Novice items under no bundle for the purposes of
repairing them, so it takes 10 minutes to fix with General Repair for instance).
Disarm Journeyman Booby Trap: (4 Exp.) (Pre-req: Disarm Apprentice Booby Trap) (Talent)
(To Use: 30 seconds RP). Disarms a Journeyman or lower booby trap if you have
detected it first. Does not work on traps made with Guile talents, even if they were made
with engineered devices.

258
 Journeyman Smith Abilities
Augment: Smelting: (5 Exp.) (Pre-req: Any Journeyman Smith bundle) Can only be used when
crafting a weapon, shield, or piece of armor. Adds +15 minutes and +6 Pool to the items
final crafting costs. When you use this augment, you create a weapon, shield, or piece of
armor that has two properties (you cant put the same property on an item twice). The
two properties must both be able to be put on the items chosen material (metal, leather,
or wood). Properties from different tiers may be combined this way. The base time to
make the final product is whichever of the two properties has the highest base crafting
time, and the two properties base Pool point costs and base component costs are
combined (abilities or items that affect time, Pool, and component costs apply after the
two properties have been combined). The Hardness of the final product is whichever one
has the lowest Hardness, unless stated otherwise (if both properties say to use the other
ones Hardness, then just use the one with lower Hardness as normal). If properties have
Strength requirements, they are also combined (if a property has an alternative Strength
requirement, it does not override the other propertys requirements). Because only one
item is being made, any additional augments being used on the final product must be used
once to affect all of the properties involved. If you use this augment to add a property to
an item while you are Remaking it, you must pay the full base time, Pool, and component
costs of the new property. Despite the name of this ability, its effects do in fact work on
non-metal items.
Augment: Mass Forging: (6 Exp.) (Pre-req: Any Journeyman Smith bundle) Can only be used
when crafting a weapon, shield, or piece of armor without any other augments. Adds +15
minutes and +6 Pool to the items final crafting costs. When you use this augment and
finish crafting an item that has no other augments, you also create two duplicate items.
These additional items have the same properties as the original item.
Surplus Workbench: (5 Exp.) (Pre-req: Kit Creation, Makers Style: Jury Rig, and any
Journeyman Smith bundle) (Talent) (To Use: 5 mins RP). Also costs 1 Crafting Kit and
can only be used on permanent Workbenches.
For the next 3 times the workbench is used to make an item, the crafter may use the Jury
Rig ability even if they dont have it. The workbench also gains a cache of 10 surplus
components which can only be accessed if the user already knows the Jury Rig ability.
These surplus components can be used as any tier (up to Very Rare) and any type
component for the Jury Rig effect only. When all 10 surplus components are spent (it is a
cache of 10 to be split between everyone who crafts there) or 3 items have been made at
this workbench, the workbench itself becomes broken and cannot be used until repaired
(workbenches count as Novice items under no bundle for the purposes of repairing them,
so it takes 10 minutes to fix with General Repair for instance).
259
 Journeyman Alchemist Abilities
Augment: Dust Alchemy: (4 Exp.) (Pre-req: any Journeyman Alchemist bundle) Can only be
used when crafting a concoction. Adds +15 minutes and +6 pool to the items final
crafting costs. Dusts are delivered via spell packet to instantly affect a single target, and
must be defended as an alchemy, not a ranged attack.
Incensed Workbench: (5 Exp.) (Pre-req: Kit Creation, Makers Style: Slow and Steady, and any
Journeyman Alchemist bundle) (Talent) (To Use: 5 mins RP). Also costs 1 Crafting Kit
and can only be used on permanent Workbenches.
You set up experimental alchemical candles with a magical fragrance that eases the mind
and makes time seem slower. For the next 3 times the workbench is used to make an
item, the crafter may use the Slow and Steady ability even if they dont actually have it.
If the crafter already knows the Slow and Steady ability, then no additional time is added
to the final crafting time of the item and any augments applied to it. After 3 items have
been made at the workbench, a sudden but inevitable alchemical backlash flash freezes it,
making the workbench itself count as broken until repaired (workbenches count as
Novice items under no bundle for the purposes of repairing them, so it takes 10 minutes
to fix with General Repair for instance).

Journeyman Inscriptionist Abilities

Augment: Aetheric Scrolls: (6 Exp.) (Pre-req: Literacy Elatum, Inscriptionist Augment:
Foreign Scrolls, and Journeyman Scrolls bundle) Can only be used when crafting a
scroll. Adds +15 minutes and +6 pool to the items final crafting costs.
Journeyman and lower scrolls with this augment that are written in Elatum may be made
without needing to either know the ability or have an assistant who does. This means you
can just pay the time, Pool, and component costs and write it in Elatum to make a scroll
of any Journeyman or lower ability you wish (so long as it is in the OoG Rulebook).
Augment: Create Tapestry: (6 Exp.) (Pre-req: Journeyman Implements bundle) Can only be
used when crafting a talisman. Adds +15 minutes and +6 pool to the items final crafting
costs.
You take the talisman you are making and turn it into a tapestry. A tapestry has the same
effect as its talisman form, but it affects all characters within a Bomb of the phys-rep (so
including the holder, if any). If the talisman needed to be invoked, then anyone touching
the tapestry may invoke it to give its effects to all characters within a Bomb radius of it.
The phys-rep for a tapestry must be a length of cloth with some symbol, icon, or pattern
on it that can either be held, standing on its own like a flag, or hung up (the phys-rep can
have other mechanical effects, such as also being used for a Clerics Raise Banner).

260
Create Verge: (5 Exp.) (Pre-req: Journeyman Implements bundle) (Talent) [To Use: RP time
varies, requires an existing wand or talisman]. This talent can only be used while a
willing character (which may include yourself) is making a weapon or a shield (the
talents activation time is always equal to how long it takes to make the weapon or
shield). You take an existing wand or talisman and combine it into the weapon or shield
being made, creating a verge. Verges function like normal items, but they can also use
the abilities of the implement inside them, essentially allowing a weapon/shield and
wand/talisman to be wielded in the same hand. The wand/talismans Hardness becomes
irrelevant; only the other items Hardness is used for the verge. A weapon can only be a
verge with 1 implement at a time. One implement can be used to make similar verges for
up to 2 fist weapons at once. Throwing weapons and arrows/bolts cannot be made into
verges. If you have Remake, you can use it to add a wand or talisman to an existing
weapon or shield. This talent can also be used to create verges out of musical
instruments. Since most musical instruments do not have mechanical rules effects, they
may be made into verges using this skill without having to first be crafted or using
Remake (using the talent this way takes 5 minutes per tier of the wand/talisman to be
combined). The Hardness of an instrument-verge is equal to the wand/talismans
Hardness (unless the instrument does have a Hardness, at which point that should always
be used instead). If you are also an engineer and have Marvels, you can use this talent or
Remake to add a wand or talisman into an existing firearm or one that is being crafted,
which follows all the same rules as a weapon-verge.
Inscribed Workbench: (5 Exp.) (Pre-req: Kit Creation, any Journeyman Inscriptionist bundle,
and either Rally or Meditate) (Talent) (To Use: 5 Mins RP). Also costs 1 Crafting Kit
and can only be used on permanent Workbenches. You inscribe motivational words and
quotes on the workbench, instilling those who work there with a sense of dedication and
purpose. The next 3 times the workbench is used to make an item, the crafter heals 2
points of Steam or Aether once the item is finished (their choice). In addition, if the
crafter has either the Rally or Meditate talents, they may use those talents while making
items at the workbench. After 3 items have been made at the workbench, the
motivational words get twisted by Oksani and causes the person who made the last item
have some terribly ironic accident that causes the workbench itself to be broken until
repaired (workbenches count as Novice items under no bundle for the purposes of
repairing them, so it takes 10 minutes to fix with General Repair for instance).

than one would think, as it is considered the rich mans drug. If you can afford to feed
into a Gluttorix Addiction, then you must be a person of wealth. Withdrawal: In
addition to the standard Withdrawal penalty (Steam and Aether Deficiency of 2,
Talents/Crafting/Runes/Rituals take double the time to use), you cant use
Willpower. Additionally, you will often feel vulnerable and doubtful of yourself.

dark, fog-like vapor that lasts in a small area for 1 hour. While outside of the black fog,
you cannot see what is inside of it and detection and sensing abilities will not pick up
anything that is inside it. Inside the fog, everyone sees only nightmarish versions of the
others and distorted voices; everyone is anonymous inside the fog with no way of
knowing who is who unless they tell you. Additionally, no sound can leave the fog and
those inside cannot see outside of it. If you spend at least 5 minutes breathing in the
black fog, you become Addicted to Whisperveil and will begin to suffer Withdrawal after
2 periods. Withdrawal: In addition to the standard Withdrawal penalty (Steam and
Aether Deficiency of 2, Talents/Crafting/Runes/Rituals take double the time to use),
everything you say must be in lies (however you are not compelled to use Lie if you
have it). You feel as though you are incredibly vulnerable when you are around
others, as if they can see through you and know your secrets. You crave the
anonymity of the black fog again so you can be shrouded in its embrace. You must
spend at least 5 minutes breathing in the black fog to count as indulging in it. This
effect is suppressed or cured only when the Withdrawal penalty is.

value. Mind effect.

Unforgiven
Bogeymen from the ancient past, the Unforgiven are the soul-eaters and spell thieves of legend,
those branded for the unforgivable act they must perform to open the door to obscene power.

the power of a Soul Stone and been Marked by your success

another character for up to 1 hour, during which time the target loses the use of that
power. You must inform the marshal beforehand of what power you are attempting to
steal. If you have an unfilled Soul Stone in your possession, then you may choose to
instead store the stolen power in the Soul Stone. If this is done, the marshal must be
informed beforehand so that they may inform the target of the associated detriments to
powers being stolen and stored in a Soul Stone. All normal pickpocket rules apply. You
can also now steal charges from magical or crafted items (does not work on Alchemy).
You can steal 1 charge or 1 use of power that you can then use at will or as denoted by

gain access to that power for the remainder of the period. If the target does not take a
death, they lose access to that power for the remainder of the period. If they do take a
death, they do not lose acces to that power. This feat can only be used once per period per
character. When using this feat, if you have an available Soul Stone, you may choose to
store the power in the stone. The target informed of the detriments of having powers
stolen and stored in a Soul Stone.
Rituals:
Ritual of Soul Stone Creation: (5 Exp) (Pre-Req: Power Thief or Consume Power) (To Use: 30
mins, 10 Aether, and 5 Aggravated Vaea) Long considered a lost craft, the Unforgiven
have over time modified the ancient art of soul stone creation to serve their purposes.
You may now take a mundane item or trinket and imbue it with raw energy, giving it the
297
 capacity to store powers, and granting the possessor of the item any powers stored within
it. Once this is complete, the item becomes indestructible, and any mechanical properties
that it had are effectively inert. In addition to the base pool cost for this ritual, you may
expend any amount of aggravated Aether or Steam (minimum 1 point from either pool) to
determine the Power Level of the Soul Stone. A Soul Stone can contain a number of
powers, whose pool cost does not exceed the Power Level. This ritual may also be used
on a pre-existing Soul Stone to increase its Power Level. Maximum Power level= 10.
Ritual of Soul Stone Consumption: (3 Exp) (Pre-req: Ritual of Soul Stone Creation) (To Use:
Needs a soulstone, 15 mins, 5 Aether) This ritual destroys any pre-existing Soul Stone,
returning any stolen powers to their owners and granting 5 temporary healable pool for
each each aggravated pool point spent to determine the soul stones power level. This
lasts for the remainder of the event. If the cost of the powers in the Stone are equal to or
more than half of its Power Level, then you can instead choose to gain an Aether and
Steam efficiency of 2 for the remainder of the event. If the caster of this ritual is not
Unforgiven, but is casting this ritual through some other means (such as a ritual gem or
with the aid of an Unforgiven), then the power released overwhelms the caster, dealing an
amount of aggravated Vaea damage equal to the Soul stones total Power Level. If the
caster survived the process, and the cost of the powers in the Stone are equal to or more
than half of its Power Level, then they gain 1 power of choice from the stone to have
Master Taught to them at no exp cost and ignoring any pre-reqs. The caster has now
fulfilled the Must have consumed the power of a Soul Stone and been Marked by their
success pre-req for the Unforgiven title, which must be marked on their character card.
This benefit can only ever be gained once per character.
Soul Stone Mechanics: A Soul Stone is a special kind of magic item that grants the bearer the
ability to use any powers stored within it off of their own pool as if they had the power
themselves. This power comes at a cost however, and that cost is primarily that in order
for the Soul Stone to be filled, the powers must be stolen from others. This is not a
pleasant experience for the owner of the power, and for the the remainder of the period
after the power is put into a Soul Stone, the owner loses access to the power entirely (The
power is still known for the purposes of skill and title prerequisites). After the period is
up, the owner regains use of their power, but does so at a deficiency of 2, and a 5 sec
Pain effect when they use it, due to an intense sense of loss and a longing for that piece
of their soul that was stolen (Duration: Until power is released from Stone). Should the
owner get their hands on the Soul stone that contains their power, they may reabsorb their
power back into themselves by meditating with it for 1 minute. Once this is done, the
power is no longer trapped in the Soul Stone and the owner loses all detriments.
Additionally, anyone with the Unforgiven title may self-teach any power that they have
the ability to learn from a Soul Stone containing the appropriate power, and it will count
as Master Taught. Soulstones can be used for no extra cost if you are an Unforgiven or
marked by Ritual of Soulstome Consumption. If you are not, you can use the
soulstones power for +2 pool on top of the regular cost.

Outlaw
Whether it be a ruthless vagabond with a mean streak, or a rebellious highwayman who steals

Whisperer
Masters of creature control, the Whisperer speaks to the divine creations of their gods.
Depending on their faith, they may be called Necromancers, Druids, Darkdwellers, Summoners,
Tinkers, Pied Piper, Heralds, Spirit callers, Bloodwoads, or Deaths Messangers. Each
Whisperer is different, but each has the capability of making pacts with higher beings or
controlling armies of creatures or divine servants.
Pre-reqs: Basic Possession, Soul Manifestation, Prayer of Divine Intervention, 1 Primal Barrow
Perk: Divine Pact- The Whisperer learns not only how to commune with the creatures and
divine beings of their god, but also how to form lasting pacts of mutual benefit and
exchange. At plot discretion, you may attempt to make a pact with a divine being or other
boss-level entity associated with your god. This pact may include costs and conditions
that are at the discretion of the creature being bargained with, and up to you to negotiate.
Should the pact be formed, you gain the ability to summon the pact being after spending
15 minutes requesting their aid and calling upon your pact. This summoning can take
several different forms. If plot is given prior notice (at least one BEA period to prepare)
then the being may be summoned directly in its full form and at its full power (Utilising a
plot-provided NPC). Otherwise, the pact being may be summoned into a willing or
incapacitated mortal as a possession effect and making the target a drudge under your
control. This drudge will last up to a period (can be dispelled at any time) and grants only
a portion of its power as an add-on template card. The actual skills and abilities of this
being and the add-on template card will vary based upon the beings creature type and
individual nature. While drudged in this way, the targets base creature type becomes that
of the possessing entity for all intents and purposes. There is no limit as to how many
pacts you can make, so long as you fulfill the requirements of each pact. Additionally,
you gain +5 Vaea and +5 Aether or Steam. Grants access to Master level Divine Spells of
the deity or deities that you are baptized to.

group of beings associated with your god. (the amount and type of beings summoned is at

320
 plots discretion). You then direct them to do a specific purpose (raid a village, defend an
area, etc.). Note that this action at certain places may be considered illegal or highly
frowned upon, and may result in failure/at-event consequences at plot discretion.
Summon Army: (5 Exp.) (Pre-req: Tend the Flock) (At Event Action) This requires extensive
preparation and set-up, thusly requiring all Between-event Actions for at least 2 BEA
periods (2 events worth) that you may have spent on Tend the Flock. Once this is done,
you and Plot will coordinate the intended time, place, and purpose of the summoning, and
plot will facilitate at-event. You summon your army (made up of NPCS) to help you
during an event. This army will vary in size and composition depending on your god, the
purpose of the summoning, and NPC availability. Once summoned, the army will move
to fulfill its purpose first and foremost, but will also obey and protect the caster to the
best of its ability.
Divine Protector: (6 Exp.) Whenever you take a detrimental effect (including numerical
damage), you may choose to redirect that effect to any drudge that you have under your
control at no cost. This will work on Greater effects. The drudge must take the attack,

their casting time (if applicable) reduced to 1 minute and have their duration doubled.
Infuse Essence: (7 exp) (To cast: 5 aggravated Aether, 5 minutes) Infuse a mortal or creature of
your god with the essence of your gods divine plane, enhancing them in various ways. If
cast on a target whose base creature type is mortal, the mortal now counts as a creature of

This ritual can only affect one person at a time.

crucible of their gods divine plane. When they emerge, they are forever changed.
Requires a plot marshal. Can be self-cast. This ritual changes the base race and/or
creature type of a mortal to one associated with your deity. In doing so, the transformed
character may lose some or all of their original racials, and gain new ones associated with
their new race. This essentially allows for the creation of a customized new race/racial
add-on template. If the deity in question has mundane creatures associated with it, the
target can be made into the image of one of those creatures specifically. If the deity has
no mundane creatures, the target can be made similar to a divine creature or planar
related to that deity. This will have an impact on what new racials/costuming the target
gains. In addition to the components of this ritual, you must spend at least 1 BEA period
preparing to cast this ritual. In some cases, a second casting of this ritual will revert the
transformation, returning the target to their base race.

Witch Doctor
The Witch Doctor has made a contract with a being of the Astral called a Roho which
permanently possesses the Witch Doctor with the spirit of a former Witch Doctor. With that
contract comes the responsibility of protecting the astral and all that is inbetween. To do this, the
Witch Doctor gains abilities such as permanently being in the astral, greater power over
possession, and control over spirits including spirits that can possess for the Witch Doctor.
Never anger the Witch Doctor, as their hexes are much more powerful than curses, like making a
person die in an instant, or to transform into mindless beasts when they least suspect it.
Pre-reqs: Spirit Walk, Identify Curse, Curse Removal, Either: Basic Possession or 1
Journeyman Primal Curse, must have the Ritual of Rohos Contract performed on you, and level
26. Grants access to Master level Divine Spells of the deity or deities that you are baptized to.

Inquisitor
The Inquisitor keeps the tenets of their deity close to them, scarred somewhere secretly upon
them, so that they may break a tenet in the name of their deity. Inquisitors are the best defenses
against other Inquisitors, as they can infiltrate the churches of other deities, but also find out
those infiltrating their own. The walk the thin lines of their Deitys will so others dont have to.
Hope that you never have a secret Inquisitor helping your prayer, as they can shape your
prayers to their whims.

Mystic
Those that create the mystical often have strange occurrences happen to them. No one really
knows how or why, but all Mystics somehow happen upon, something they call an Icon of
Wonder. Some believe that the Icon chooses the Mystic, others believe that they conjure them
into existence. Either way, these Icons hold the powers of various implements within them, but
never must be held to be used. Icons always find their way back to their mystics, even if
destroyed, stolen, or lost. Mystics themselves create the most powerful of implements, even being
able to make them into garments able to be worn instead of held. They can also impart the
wondrous returning power of the Icons to others items. If you believe in the strange, then maybe
you will find an Icon of your own.

Keeper of Crucibles
The elements of the world are precious, and those that can work them can ascend to greater
heights in the crafting of weapons and armor. The Keeper of Crucibles infuses their own affinity
into a Crucible that is their doorway into the most powerful of elemental forging. Each crucible
only enhances the power of its own affinity, but the Keeper can create multiple different
crucibles if they are willing to branch out to different affinities. They can fuse together shards of
affinity to create armaments for those of the Storm and Forge. They can also create golems of
affinity that bend to their will. They can even create elemental weapons that even those of no
affinity can utilize, and make such pure elemental weapons that only elementals can use them.
Pre-reqs: 1 Level of an Affinity (which is sacrificed when you learn the title), either the
Journeyman Weapons bundle or the Journeyman Armor bundle, Harvest Affinity; either Seek
Affinity or Destroy Affinity, 10 EXP Spent on other Journeyman Crafting abilities, and Level 26

Materio
Elements are not the only things that hold beauty. Materios can bring out the best of any
material, no matter how mundane they may appear. The material of the armaments they create
along with how they create them blend together to make very powerful tools. They also can
sharpen blades and reinforce armor like no other smiths can, making them even finer or the
sharpening hold for longer. The closest held secret of the Materio is the ability to somehow
animate armor to make them follow the Materios commands.
Pre-reqs: Knowledge Materiology Level 3, Journeyman Weapon Properties, Journeyman Armor
Properties, 10 EXP Spent on other Journeyman Crafting abilities, and Level 26.
