Tjhodges: Changed reset to resist in the Rugged description

== '''<big>Champion</big>''' ==
Some take up arms for glory, wealth, or revenge. Others do battle to prove themselves, to protect others, or because they know nothing else. Still others learn the ways of weapon craft to hone their bodies in battle and prove their mettle in the forge of war. You are a protector. One who sees their worth in service to others and their defense of those around them. Many Knights, Samurai, and bodyguards call this class theirs. Champions excel at combat but specifically shutting down opposing aggressors. Weapon based attacks and defenses against all onslaughts are their bread and butter. Champions are the classic frontline warrior, clad in heavy armor and shields. They are skilled in almost all forms of melee combat and can learn the peak of defensive abilities.

'''[[Armor]]''' '''Proficiency:''' Champions can wear up to Battle Armor.

[[Weapon Construction|'''Weapon''']] '''Proficiencies:''' Champions are skilled with the following weapons: Small Shield, Medium Shield, Short Weapon, Medium Weapon, Long Weapon, and Spear. They are the only Fighter archetype that can learn the use of a Large shield without the use of a power.

'''Energy:''' Champions use Energy to fuel their techniques.

'''<big>Class Features:</big>'''

'''''Defend'':''' This skill allows the character to protect others from harm by getting in the way of the attack. To use this skill, the character must be within weapon reach of a target, have a weapon or shield in hand, and call “Defend”. When used, this skill will redirect a single attack to the character using the skill, which may then be negated normally with defenses. If the attack had a numeric value, the damage will be reduced by half. This skill can be used once each ''Encounter initially and twice per encounter at 20th level and above.''

'''''Armored Core:''''' While wielding a shield the character gains additional armor points. These points go above the character maximum and are refit with their normal armor. As long as they are wielding a shield they gain 10 additional points of armor.

'''''Defensive Specialist:''''' Your defensive skills are treated as Passive.

== '''Champion Skills''' ==
'''Aura Blade -''' This skill adds the Flavor Carrier ''Magic'' to the character's weapon damage calls and increases the weapon's Base Damage by 1 for 5 minutes or one Encounter. This Flavor overrides any other Flavor that the weapon normally has.

'''Bolster -''' This skill is used by the Champion as a self healing mechanism. While this skill is active, any hit the Champion blocks whether through use of his skill at arms or use of energy such as Deflect, Parry, Riposte, or Impunity, heals the Champion for 1 body Point. This healing cannot take the champion over their maximum body at any point. This skill lasts 5 minutes or 1 encounter.

'''Clarity -''' This skill allows the character to briefly harden their minds and Resist the following effects: Charm, Command, Sleep, and Terror.

'''Deflect -''' This skill negates a single melee weapon attack that strikes them, or another within melee weapon reach, that has a numerical damage as part of the call; and does not have a Delivery Type, or the ''Massive'' carrier. To use this skill, the character must call “Deflect”.

'''Destructive Blow -''' This skill, with a melee weapon strike as the delivery method: destroys one weapon, up to a large-sized shield, suit of armor, of other object which is no larger than a Large Shield; making the item unusable and giving it the ''Broken'' status. To use this skill, the player must declare aloud “Destroy<targeted weapon/item> Strike” then must land a legal weapon blow with a melee weapon or make weapon contact with the item to be ''Destroyed''. This skill may NOT target a portion of an otherwise whole object, or ANY natural weaponry (i.e. claws, tails, etc). This skill is one swing, hit or miss.

'''Die Hard -''' This skill allows the character to survive near death and keep fighting. This can be used only when a character reaches -1 ''Body Points''. When activated, the character can continue to take actions instead of falling down, and can continue to act until they reach negative ''Body Points'' equal to their unadjusted maximum ''Body Points''; at which time they will enter the ''Dying'' state but only have a 60 count ''Bleed Out''. This effect will end if the user is healed above 0 ''Body Points''.

'''Exhaustion Strike -''' This strike causes the target to become weary and tired. If not negated it causes the target to only be able to walk and cannot benefit from '''''"Flee".''''' This skill is used by calling “Exhaustion Strike” and landing a legal weapon blow; this is one swing, hit or miss.

'''Focus +X ''-''''' This is directly added to a character's base weapon damage with any weapon in which the character is proficient. Focus is purchased per hand and does not stack when using a two-handed weapon. Ambidexterity may never be used to stack it over your class maximum.

'''Impunity -''' This skill allows the character to fend off all physical attacks for a brief time. When activated the character will announce “Impunity”, and for the next 10 seconds all physical/natural attacks against the user that can be defended with the ''Parry'' skill are considered negated.

'''Knockdown -''' This skill allows the character to strike a target, hampering them for 10 seconds, during which time they can use no ''Active Skills'' or ''Abilities'', and cannot walk. Unlike normal weapon strikes, this skill works even if it strikes the targets Hand Held items or Costume. To use this skill, the character must announce, “Knockdown Massive!”. This skill can only be used with 2 handed melee weapons or when using Large shield and is one swing, hit or miss (Reminder, you CANNOT swing your shield at someone)

'''Parry -''' Parry is called as a defense to a melee attack and stops all negatives associated with the blow. Parry may be used on melee attacks that normally take effect even on hits to shields.

'''Patch Job:''' This skill allows the character to make a quick recovery in combat by Repairing a suit of armor. By performing a 10 second counted action, the target’s armor will be set to its full value, removing the ''Breached'' status, though future ''Breaches'' will affect the armor normally.

'''Phalanx -''' This skill allows the character to raise another character’s armor value while they are wielding a shield. When used the character grants up to four targets, who are wielding a shield, 10 points of armor, these points go above the characters’ maximum and can be repaired with their normal armor points. These points will last for a single encounter or up to 5 minutes.

'''Recovery -''' This skill increases the amount of healing received from Expendable Healing effects by 5 points. If the character additionally has the ''Toughen'' power the bonus is increased by an additional 5 points (+10 total). This skill can only be purchased once.

'''Riposte -''' Riposte causes an attacker to suffer the effects of his own melee strike. Riposte makes no guarantees of success - many attackers can employ effects to which they themselves are immune - but does guarantee the Champion’s safety regardless of the outcome of the retaliatory strike. Riposte does not affect Riposted attacks; this is a gameplay consideration with mirrors facing mirrors.

'''Rugged -''' This skill allows the character to withstand assaults that would stagger a lesser hero. This skill can be used to resist the effects of a spell or “Magic” deliver effect; that is not Binding/Contain. When resisted the character will suffer 5 ''Body Points'' of damage and be ''Slowed'' for the encounter, instead of suffering the effect resisted.

'''Shield Wall -''' This skill allows the character to take a defensive stance to shrug off damage. While the stance is active, the character will gain ''Damage Cap'' 5, lasting for an ''Encounter'' or up to 5 minutes, or they become ''Helpless.'' Additionally, the character cannot use ''Offensive'' ''Special Attacks'' until this skill has ended.

'''Slowing Strike -''' An almost direct upgrade to Exhaustion strike, Slowing the target. This skill is used by calling “''Slowing Strike''” and landing a legal weapon blow; this attack is a single swing hit or miss.

'''Stun Strike -''' This effect causes a target to be rendered ''Stunned'' for 10 minutes. This skill is used by calling “''Stun Strike''” and landing a legal weapon blow; this attack is a single swing hit or miss.

'''Vitality -''' This skill allows the character to recover from wounds in the heat of combat. This skill takes a 30 second counted action to recover up to 10 points of body. Alternatively, this skill can be used immediately after incapacitating a foe in combat. If done in this way, it is instant and negates the counted action.

'''Weapon Ward -''' This skill will negate any ''Disarm/Shatter'' effect that targets a hand-held object in the possession of the character. If an effect hits multiple targets simultaneously, such as an explosive trap, it will protect a single item per use.

'''Woven Defense:''' Your ability to block a flood of incoming strikes tires out combatants you face, wearing down their ability o engage in combat. This is called as 'Voice Enemies Weakness Burst' and can be used once for each time purchased.

'''Take Cover -''' This mastery skill grants everyone on your side of a module one use of 'Resist Ranged' which can be used to avoid any ranged attack be it an arrow, spell, or other effect delivered via range except via Voice vector. This lasts for the remainder of the module.

'''Taunt:''' Taunt causes the target to focus their attack the generator of the effect. Until Taunt expires, the victim pays twice the cost for any abilities used against any opponent other than the Taunter. Taunt lasts for five minutes, one encounter, or until the generator of the effect disengages. A Taunter that flees, or moves to interpose a third party in between himself and his target, or simply stops fighting, immediately ends the duration of the effect. In the chaos of combat, this can get fuzzy; a Champion can't control someone else moving into his line of effect, for example, and we expect a certain degree of latitude in "intentional disengagement". This can only be used used after a successful melee strike. This is delivered as "Voice (target) Taunt"

== Champion Powers ==
'''Bulwark -''' This power improves upon the champions’ prowess with their shield, allowing them to block more types of attacks than normal. Bulwark allows them to now block, with their shield or via another technique such as Deflect or Parry where applicable, any attack with the Elemental vector.

'''Defender -''' This power allows the character to use the ''Defend'' skill 1 additional times each ''Encounter''. Additionally, it allows the character to use ''Weapon Ward'' to protect others so long as they are within weapons reach.

'''Defense is Good Offense -''' This power allows the Champion to harness their need to eradicate the threats to their charge. Upon receipt of this power the Champion may use the Blitz+Critical Strike skill twice a day for free. (Twice daily 4 swings of +5 temporary weapon damage adding the Critical Modifier)

'''Specialization -''' This power increases the character weapon damage with a chosen weapon (Long Sword, Medium Axe, etc.) by 1 point.

'''Strong Arm -''' This power only functions while the character is wielding a shield they are skilled with. While wielding a shield they are skilled with they are not affected by the ''Massive modifier'', treating all such attacks that strike their shield as normal weapon swings. Additionally, they can use ''Deflect'' and ''Parry'' with their shield alone without the need of a weapon.

=== Champion Heroic Powers ===
'''Body Guard -''' This Power allows the character to safeguard a single target, which must meet one of the following restrictions: Must have a character level less than half of the user, or have maximum base ''Body Points'' less than half of the user’s base ''Body Points''. While the Power is active, the recipient will gain ''Reduced: Half'' from all physical attacks; additionally, the user can use the ''Deflect'', ''Parry'', and ''Weapon Ward'' Defensive Special Attacks on the recipient; so long as they are in the same Encounter and are themselves not prevented from using skills. This Power can be used twice each reset, and lasts for 1 hour or Module.

'''Combat Challenge -''' ''prerequisite Taunt x2'' Once per Encounter the character can challenge a foe across the battlefield to single combat. By doing so the character must invoke their Taunt skill via voice delivery "Voice [Target] Taunt"

Tjhodges: Removed “Gnome, ” as the first word under Powers

Powers are things your character can have outside the usual bounds. Every Class and Species has Powers unavailable to other Classes and Species. They're the deeper mysteries of adventurers; some are very potent and consequently less common than Skills. Powers do not cost Skill Points; characters are awarded Powers as they move up in level.

'''Powers'''*Powers with this notation can be taken multiple times.

Powers do not function like skills they are always considered to be in effect. Powers either give characters’ access to a new ability or change the function of a skill they already have. At 1st level, all characters start with 1 power, and they gain an additional power at 4th level and every 4 levels after, i.e., 1st, 4th, 8th, 12th, Etc… In addition to the normal powers, every 10 levels players will gain an extra power that can only be used for a power that is species specific, Humans are the exception to this they can pick any power they have the prerequisites for. If a power has prerequisites, then all must be met before the power can be purchased. All powers can only be purchased one time unless noted otherwise. Unless indicated otherwise powers that have a daily use cannot be used simultaneously.

 '''Acrobatics''' Prerequisite: Dodge This power allows the character to get the most out of every opportunity. Whenever they use a skill from their Defensive tree they gain a Barrier effect, these points do not stack with themselves and are the first to be lost.

 '''Ambidexterity''' Prerequisite: None This power reflects a character natural skill with both hands, this grants them the following abilities: they can move their Focus and Precision bonus damage to either hand, though this takes a 5 counted action and lasts until the end of combat. Additionally, while wield a weapon in each hand their flurry limit increases by 1, to 4 swings.

 '''Amp''' Prerequisite: Bard When wielding an instrument weapon, the Base Weapon Damage is increased by 1 point. 

 '''Amplify Barrier''' Prerequisite: Spellblade This power increases the effect of the characters Barrier skill. The skill will now absorb 40 points of damage instead of the normal 20 points. 

 '''Animal Speech''' Prerequisite: Caller This power allows the character to talk normally while shape changed, as well as will let them communicate with animals of similar breed. This does not allow spell casting or using magic items that require speech to activate. 

 '''Arcane Study''' Prerequisite: Spell Devotion Elves have always been known for their link and skill when it comes to magic, and as such, the power improves upon their magical ability. This power increases the characters Spell Pool by 10 points. 

 '''Armor Efficiency''' Prerequisite: Armor Proficiency This power allows the character to get the most out of the armor they wear. This will increase the armor gained from a phys-rep by 1 tier of armor, Example a suit that qualifies as a Medium Armor would be valued as Heavy Armor while worn. The character is still limited to their maximum armor value. 

 '''Armor Proficiency''' Prerequisite: None This power increases the maximum amount of armor a character can wear by 1 Tier. Example: A Rogue with this power could wear up to Medium Armor, instead of being limited to Light Armor. 

 '''Aspect Mastery''' Prerequisite: Caller This power causes Aspects that the player casts to have the duration doubled. It is up to the caster to inform the recipient of the effect. 

 '''Athletics*''' Prerequisite: None You have spent time working out and training your body to go further than the average person. This Power increases the characters Base Strength by +2 for performing Feats of Strength. The Strength gained from this Power will stack with itself; for example, if a character has taken Athletics 3 times, they will have an additional +6 Strength for performing Feats of Strength. 

 '''Blindsense''' Prerequisites: Deep Elf While darkness is a hindrance to the sighted, you have spent years training your other senses to counteract the effects. You take no negative from the Blind effect; additionally, do not suffer penalties on Contested Rolls for darkness or lack of vision. 

 '''Born Grappler*''' Prerequisites: Half-Troll and Lengthen Claws This power allows the character to use their claws to grab their opponents and squeeze them into submission. Twice each reset, the character can use Binding Strike with a 6 counted action, and the resulting effect reduces the target to -1 Body Points. This can only be performed with claws and is considered to be a Base Strength of +4 for the purposes of foes’ ability to Break Free.

 '''Born Marksman*''' Prerequisite: Ranger This power reflects the character’s natural talent with ranged weapons. Each reset they gain 2 additional uses of the Hunter's Mark skill. 

 '''Born To Serve*''' Prerequisite: Oathbound This power comes from the dwarf’s lineage to guard the great Dwarven houses. This power allows the character to Resist effects that push them or force their movement, examples Repel, Sweep, ect. This power can be used twice each reset. 

 '''Born Trader''' Prerequisite: Felis Born into a family of traders, the art was pushed upon you from an early age. This power gives 1 rank of the merchant skill for free, the max rank is still 10. This power also gives a 5% discount when using the "Purchase" Trade action. 

 '''Broaden Specialization''' Prerequisite: Specialization This power allows the character to apply their Specialization bonus to all weapons they are proficient with. 

 

'''Bulwark''' Prerequisites: Strong Arm, Champion This power improves upon the champions’ prowess with their shield, allowing them to block more types of attacks than normal. Bulwark allows them to now block, with their shield or via another technique such as Deflect or Parry where applicable, any attack with the Elemental vector.

 '''Called Shot''' Prerequisite: Ranger When a character uses their Hunter’s Mark skill to deal only damage, not adding a Technique, they receive a +10 Base Weapon Damage bonus instead of the normal +5 bonus. 

 '''Call the Beast*''' Prerequisite: Rok’Shen This power allows the character to unleash their ancestral nature for a brief time. When used, the effect is determined by what type of animal they are; Large powerful animal types gain +4 Base Strength for 10 minutes, Smaller more agile animal types take Reduced: Half damage for the duration. This power can be used once each reset. 

 '''Call the Wild*''' Prerequisite: Guardian This power allows the character to share their tie to nature. Once each reset this power can be used to grant up to 5 targets a totem. 

 
'''Clean Getaway:''' You're great at covering your tracks. In an urban setting (any area with multiple constructed buildings) you add a number of failures to a Tracking attempt against you equal to your Rogue level if you are alone or 1/2 your level rounded up if you are with other people. '''Combat Archery''' Prerequisite: Precision +4 This power allows the character to block with a bow, even with a single hand.

Once per reset you may invoke 'Wild Magic' for a beneficial effect in accordance with your needs at the time. This can be something as lowly as a purify for a downed ally, a wolf pack flee for you and your friends, a Tree Walk to get you somewhere, or any other spontaneous effect. However, much like the Paladin spell [[Paladin#Miracle|Miracle]], it is not entirely up to you what the effect is and you must discuss with the marshal on hand to come to an agreement on the final effect if it is anything beyond a standard spell levels 1-9 castable by any class. In the case of duplication of a standard spell the verbal for this effect it "Magic [spell name] wild magic"

'''Arcane Strike'''

This Power allows the character to deliver an attack with a more powerful version of their ''Channel'' skill. They may use the''Arcane''Delivery Type instead of the ''Magic'' Delivery Type twice each reset. These 2 uses are in addition to their normal allotment of ''Channels.''

'''Armored to the Teeth''' Prerequisite''':''' ''Armor Proficiency''

This Power increases the character’s armor value. The character gains an additional 10 points of armor that go over their class maximum and are readjusted with their normal armor. ''Temporary Armor'' effects do not stack with this Power.

'''Bathe in Poison:''' Prerequisite: ''Rogue''

Allows Rogues to use an attached Blade Poison in conjunction with their Blade Shower. This may be used twice per reset.

'''Backlash''' Prerequisite: ''Spellblade, Aura Emulation''

By manipulating your power, you can cause your ''Barrier'' to lash out instead of providing protection. To use this, you must activate your ''Barrier'' skill and on the first hit that strikes you can use the effect “''Magic Aura<Flavor>”.''This functions as per the ''Aura Emulation'' skill. This removes the ''Barrier'' from you and does not protect from any damage.

'''Blood Oath''' Prerequisite: ''Family Weapon''

When wielding their family weapon, they can invoke ancient powers. Once activated the character gains the Flavor Carrier ''Ward''. This Power can be used once each reset, and lasts for 5 minutes or one Encounter.

'''Bodyguard''' Prerequisite: ''Champion''

While the Power is active, the recipient will gain ''Reduced: Half'' from all physical attacks; additionally the user can use the ''Deflect'', ''Parry'', and ''Weapon Ward'' Defensive Special Attacks on the recipient; so long as they are in the same Encounter and are themselves not prevented from using skills. This Power can be used twice each reset, and lasts for 1 hour or Module.

'''Cast Iron''' Prerequisite: ''Nomad''

Years of surviving in the wilds have hardened the character’s fortitude, making them ''Immune'' to the effect of ''Rot'', though this does not make the character ''Immune'' to any damage or other effects that may be part of the attack.

'''Cataclysm''' Prerequisite: ''Evoker''

This power allows the character to unleash the true power of the elements on their foes. Twice each reset the character can inflict ''Vulnerability'' on their foes in combat. To use this Power, the character must announce, “All enemies ''Voice Vulnerability <Flavor>”,'' where <Flavor> is one of those from their ''Spell Pool.''

This effect will only work on sentient targets, and will last for 5 minutes or one Encounter, otherwise ending when either challenger or the challenged are rendered Helpless.

'''Escape Plan''' Prerequisite: ''Rogue''

This Power augments the ''Conceal'' skill so that it can be used so long as the character is conscious, under their own control, are not bound, in a ''Prison,'' or ''Petrified.''

Tjhodges: Removed Exhausting Strike verbiage from Entangling Strike description

== '''Guardian''' ==
Guardians are the primal warriors of the natural world. They form strong bonds with the beasts of the wild and channel their prowess as a weapon. Often seen as nature’s defender due to their bond. Often their strong bond to the natural world calls them to its martial champion, though this is not always carried out with good action. Just as a hurricane gives little care for what it will destroy in its wake, a guardian can channel the skills into acts of destruction.

'''Armor:''' Guardians can wear up to Medium Armor at character creation and tend to wear armors that are made from natural materials like leather and bone.

'''Weapon Proficiencies:''' Guardians are skilled with the following weapons: Short Weapon, Medium Weapon, Great Weapon, Spear, and Thrown. Additionally, they gain the ''Florentine Power'' free.

<big> '''Class Features:'''</big>

'''''Heart of the Wild'':''' While wielding either Two Weapons or a Great Weapon they can use their ''Defensive Special Attack'' skills as ''Passive'' skills.

'''''Adaptive:''''' While they do not weave the magic’s of nature the character can train themselves to understand its denizens. This skill allows the character to speak with natural animals, though it must be done in simple short statements and questions.

'''''Primal Fury:''''' This skill allows the character to unleash the power of the primal world they protect granting them heightened combat prowess for a short time. When active, the character gains the following temporary benefits: +10 ''Body Points'', +2''Permanent Weapon Damage'', ''Immunity'' to ''Charm, Shun, Sleep,'' and ''Terror''. This skill lasts for 5 minutes or one Encounter. This skill can be used as a defense against ''Berserk'', and will negate the attack and active this skill. This skill can be used once each reset at 1st level and once again for each 8 character levels, (IE. 1st, 8th, 16th, and so on.)

== Guardian Skills ==
'''Ambush -''' With this skill the character unleashes a powerful blow that will knock out most opponents. When used, the player must call “Ambush". This skill can be used from the front; however, if used from behind the target the call is “Ambush Surprise” making the attack very difficult to avoid. This skill can only be delivered with a melee boffer attack. A target that is affected by this attack is unconscious for 10 minutes. This attack is metabolic.

'''Conceal:''' A character using this skill instantly becomes ''Hidden'', for a brief time. This skill is activated by calling “Conceal!” Once activated, the character places their hands open palms together over their head and for the next 10 seconds they are hidden and can move. This skill does not remove any effects that are currently on the character.

'''Deflect -''' This skill negates a single melee weapon attack that strikes them, or another within melee weapon reach, that has a numerical damage as part of the call; and does not have a Delivery Type, or the ''Massive'' carrier. To use this skill, the character must call “Deflect”.

'''Dodge -''' This skill allows the character to avoid a single ranged weapon or packet delivered attack that strikes them. This defense cancels the attack, meaning it does not continue on and hit someone behind them.

'''Energy -''' Used as the energy source to fuel techniques

'''Entangle Strike -''' This skill duplicates the spell effect by the same name, but is delivered with a weapon swing. This skill is used by calling “Entangle Strike” and landing a legal weapon blow; this is one swing, hit or miss.

'''Exhaustion Strike -''' This skill duplicates the spell effect by the same name, but is delivered with a weapon swing. This skill is used by calling “Exhaustion Strike” and landing a legal weapon blow; this is one swing, hit or miss. [Exhaustion is as per the standard effects list]

'''Focus +X''': This is directly added to a character's base weapon damage with any weapon in which the character is proficient. Focus is purchased per hand and does not stack when using a two-handed weapon. Ambidexterity may never be used to stack it over your class maximum.

'''Grasping Earth:''' This skill allows the character to call upon the forces of nature to aid them in combat. When used, the player announces, “All enemies in the sound of my voice Difficult Terrain”.

[[Effects#Hide|'''Hide''']] '''-''' This skill allows the character to become Hidden from normal view. This skill has several rules that must be followed for its use: First, in order to use this skill, the character must be next to an object that is stationary or cannot be easily moved, and the object must be larger than the player. Second, it takes a 5 Counted Action to enter Hide, which must be done while no one is actively looking at the character in game. Third, once in Hide, the character must place their hands in front of their chest (closed, with knuckles touching), and can stay there for up to an hour, though the character cannot move from their Hide location (other than minor shifting). While in Hide, they are aware of the world around them and can see and hear anything they would normally be able to. Leaving Hide simply takes a 5 Counted Action.

'''Maim Limb -''' This skill will damage the target’s limb making it useless for combat and locomotion until cured. If the target is an arm, that arm cannot be used for anything; in the case of a leg the player can only walk (if both legs are maimed the player cannot move from their current spot). To use this skill, the character must announce “Maim <Limb>”, which the attacker chooses which limb is affected, and land a legal weapon blow to that limb or body. If no limb is hit, or specified in the case of a blow landed to the body, then it is the defender’s choice of limb. However, this cannot be not one that has already been maimed. This attack is a single swing hit or miss and can only be performed with a melee weapon.

'''Move Silent -''' This skill allows the character to take brief actions without creating any In Game noise, which can be done in a number of ways: First, the character can move up to 15 steps while in ''Hide'' and remain ''Hidden. Second'', the character can make one attack from ''Hide'', adding the “''Surprise''” Modifier and remain H''idden''. This skill is considered ''Passive.''

'''Parry -''' Parry is called as a defense to a melee attack and stops all negatives associated with the blow. Parry may be used on melee attacks that normally take effect even on hits to shields.

'''Precision -'''This skill will add two points of damage to the called verbal of a weapon swing when used from behind another character. For example, if you are using a Long Sword whose normal call is "Two Normal" when swinging, taking Precision +2 would mean that your new verbal is 'four normal' when you swing from behind an enemy. This skill stacks and the number given in the skill is the total cumulative number. If you purchase this skill the maximum of 3 times your verbal when behind your opponents will be "Eight Normal" unless you also purchased focus which would add it's amount to attacks from all sides. Precision is purchased per hand and does not stack when using a two-handed weapon. Ambidexterity may never be used to stack it over your class maximum.

'''Riposte -''' Riposte causes an attacker to suffer the effects of his own melee strike. Riposte makes no guarantees of success - many attackers can employ effects to which they themselves are immune - but does guarantee the Champion’s safety regardless of the outcome of the retaliatory strike. Riposte does not affect Riposted attacks; this is a gameplay consideration with mirrors facing mirrors.

'''Roll''' - his skill allows the character to negate a portion of an attack. Roll can only be used to defend against attacks that strike the character with a weapon or packet and have a numerical damage value in the call. When used, the defended attack will only deal half damage (rounded down) and will remove any effect carriers, from the attack.

'''Shatter Strike -''' This skill, with a melee weapon strike as the delivery method: renders useless one weapon, small-sized shield, or other object which is no larger than a Small Shield, giving it the ''Broken'' status. If used against a suit of armor, it will breach the armor, reducing it to 0. To use this skill, the player must declare aloud “Shatter <targeted weapon/item> Strike” then must land a legal weapon blow with a melee weapon or make weapon contact with the item to be ''Destroyed''. This skill may NOT target a portion of an otherwise whole object, or ANY natural weaponry (i.e. claws, tails, etc). This skill is one swing, hit or miss.

'''Slay Strike -''' This skill deals a heinous damaging blow to a target, the affected target will suffer 100 points of critical damage. This skill is used by calling “Slay Strike” and landing a legal weapon blow; this is one swing, hit or miss. This is a ''Slay'' effect.

'''Stun Strike -''' This effect causes a target to be rendered ''Stunned'' for 10 minutes. This skill is used by calling “''Stun Strike''” and landing a legal weapon blow; this attack is a single swing hit or miss.

'''Telltale Signs -''' A guardian is adept in the wilds of any plane. When not in a city, they automatically add 2 successes to any tracking attempt made.

== Guardian Advanced Skills ==
'''Aerial Totem -''' This skill allows the character to summon a totem of an aerial creature to grant them one of the following buffs for up to 1 hour or Module. A character can have 1 Totem active at a time:

*During a hold the player can move up to 20 steps
*Character gains 3 uses of “''Binding Strike-Slay''” (6 Count) with their melee weapons
* 5 ''Permanent Body Points'' and ''Endure''

'''Fire Totem -''' This skill allows the character to summon a totem of a fire creature to grant them one of the following buffs for up to 1 hour or Module. A character can have 1 Totem active at a time:

*Immunity to ''Blind'' and can attack ''Hidden'' and ''Concealed'' targets
*Character gains 3 uses of "Elemental 30 Fire" delivered via packet attack
*Character gains one use of "Natural Cure Metabolic"
'''Cyclone -''' This skill allows the character to wrap their body in fierce winds that shield him from certain attacks. When activated, this skill will last for 10 seconds, during which time the character is not affected by physical ranged attacks; this includes Ranged Weapons, Vials, Bombs, and Natural Attacks, though they can still use skills normally.

'''Nature's Ire -''' This skill allows the character to change the battlefield by channeling the power, when used it will affect all enemies in the next Encounter. This skill will remove up to 1 offensive weapon skill from all hostile targets, up to 10 targets in an Encounter.

== Guardian Powers ==
'''Call of the Wild:''' This power allows the character to share their tie to nature. Once each reset this power can be used to grant up to 5 targets a totem.

'''Endless Fury:''' This power allows the character to activate their ''Primal Fury'' Class Feature 2 additional times each reset.

'''Fearless Fury:''' This power increases the potency of the characters Primal Fury power. While active, they additionally gain Immunity to Command, Fear, Feeblemind, and Slumber.

'''Mighty Fury:''' This power increases the potency of the characters ''Primal Fury'' power. While active they additionally gain 4 Blade Effects that are +5 ''Temporary Damage'' and ''Critical''.

'''Undying Fury:''' This power allows the character to push past the confines of their normal limits. When an attack would normally render the character ''Unconscious'' they can ''Resist'' that attack. This can be used once during each use of ''Primal Fury.''

'''Wrath of Nature:''' This power allows the character to pull on their ties to the strength of nature. While in a natural setting, not in a city, the character has +2 ''Permanent Strength''.

=== Heroic Powers ===
'''Dual Spirit:''' This Power allows the character to have two different totems active at the same time. This still consumes two uses of the skill.

'''Enhanced Totems -''' Your totems gain the following effect options:

* '''Aerial Totem:''' You may Fly for 1 hour or module and have one use of 'Soar'
* '''Aquatic Totem:''' You may plant your foot and cast 'natural 5 healing' by touch only for 5 minutes/one encounter (this effect cannot be shared via Call of the Wild)
* '''Earthen Totem:''' +10 Body and Recovery 5
* '''Fire Totem:''' Can be activated at the time the character moves from Dying to Death state to fully heal character to max current body removing all other negative status effects on the character. (this effect cannot be shared via Call of the Wild)

'''Wyld Heart:''' This Power binds the character’s body with the might of nature. When the character uses ''Primal Fury'', they gain ''Damage Cap 5'' for the duration of the ability.

Rogue

2024-07-13T04:55:43Z

Tjhodges: Changed Agiility to Agility in table

Rogues are a diverse bunch. Some are slippery cat burglars, some are experts in poison manufacture and delivery, some are muggers with just enough smarts to attack from behind. More than any other class, Rogue provides a great deal of room for a great many concepts.

'''''Armor:''''' Rogues are trained in light armor use and tend to find heavier armor interferes with their stealth.

'''''Weapons''':'' Rogues are skilled in short and medium melee weapons. They are also allowed short bows and thrown weapons.

'''<big>Class Features:</big>'''

'''''Poison Use'':''' This skill allows the character to apply Blade Poisons, without need of the Chemistry skill, to a weapon so that they can be used later. Normally up to 1 Blade Poison can be stored on Short Weapons/Thrown/Ammo, 2 on Medium/Long Weapons. Rogues can stack 1 additional Blade Poison on their weapons. In the case of Vorpal the weapon gains the effect of the Blade Poison for all attacks leading up to a successfully landed attack; for all other Blade Poisons it is consumed on the next swing hit or miss. This skill takes a 10 counted action to safely apply each poison to the weapon. If placed on Ranged weapons the effect is only good for a single attack hit or miss.

'''''Catlike Grace'':''' Grace and finesse are a way of life and as such ample training has paid off. The character can perform movement and dexterity related Feats of Strength/physical challenges as though they had an additional +2 Base Strength

'''''Dual Wield'':''' Rogues can use a short or medium weapon in each hand, without special training or skill point cost.

== Rogue Skills ==
'''Agility:''' This skill becomes active by announcing “Agility!” Once activated, it lasts for 5 minutes or 1 Encounter, whichever is longer. While this skill is in use, the character will take ''Reduced: Half Damage'', rounded up, from all numerical damaging effects, such as weapon damage. This ability does not reduce effects, such as ''Nausea'' or ''Sleep'', or any other effect that does not deal damage.

'''Ambush:''' With this skill the character unleashes a powerful blow that will knock out most opponents. When used, the player must call “Ambush". This skill can be used from the front; however, if used from behind the target the call is “Ambush Surprise” making the attack very difficult to avoid. This skill can only be delivered with a melee boffer attack. A target that is affected by this attack is unconscious for 10 minutes. This attack is metabolic.

'''Assassinate:''' This skill allows the character to deal a very damaging weapon strike to a target from behind. When used successfully the target will suffer 100 points of ''Critical'' damage. The verbal for this skill is "Slay Strike".

'''Avoid Trap:''' This skill allows the character to react to traps as they go off and get out of the way just in time. When this skill is used, the effect of a trap, or AOE attack that would have affected the character is negated and they move to the edge of the area of effect.

'''Blade Shower''': This skill allows the character to damage all enemies near-by with a quick flash of knives. To use this skill the character announces their normal ''Backstab'' damage and adds the ''Body Burst'' verbal call. Example: “10 Normal Body Burst”, this attack will hit all enemies in melee range.

'''Blind''': This skill causes the affected target to be unable to use any skills, fight, or use ''Active Abilities'' for 10 seconds and can only walk. This skill works only on targets that need eyes to see and function, so creatures like oozes, which lack eyes, would be immune to this effect. ''Blind'' can only be used against targets within melee weapon range and the call for it is “<Target> Voice Poison Blind”.

'''Cheap''' '''Shot''': This skill allows the character to make the most out of an opportunity when they are working with others. This skill acts as a minor interrupt and ''Negates'' the last active skill/ability their opponent used, though the effect is not expended and can be used again. This can only be used on attacks that target/affect someone other than the character using the ''Cheap Shot'' skill, this includes the opponent.

'''Conceal''': A character using this skill instantly becomes ''Hidden'', for a brief time. This skill is activated by calling “Conceal!” Once activated, the character places their hands open palms together over their head and for the next 10 seconds they are hidden and can move. This skill does not remove any effects that are currently on the character.

'''Crippling Attack:''' This ability allows the character to deliver a blow to a target that has almost instant and lasting effects. This attack is delivered with the call "Crippling Strike” and a single weapon swing hit or miss. This will cause the affected target to be unable to move faster than a walking pace, for the remainder of the encounter.

'''Disable Device:''' This skill allows the character to use and understand both simple and complex locks, traps, physical puzzles, tools, and even mechanical devices. The use of this skill requires a ''Contested Roll'', must be role-played, and takes 2 minutes of concentration to attempt. This skill can also be used to arm traps which also take 2 minutes of concentration. Some traps or puzzles may have physical components that can be disarmed without a ''Contested Roll'', and the player has the option to still make the ''Contested Roll'' or can choose to physically try and disable the trap/puzzle and once the choice is made you cannot go with the other option. A large advantage to physically disabling the trap is that there is no time restriction and you can disable as fast as you physically can. A player can spend 30 seconds to analyze the object to be disabled at the end of which the marshal will tell them the level of the item as well as how well-crafted it is. Trap/Lock level is equal to the production cost of the item. This skill has a max of 20 Ranks, and each Rank adds 1 Bonus to the characters ''Contested Rolls''.

'''Disguise''': This skill allows the character to hide who they truly are. The character can give a false answer to "''What do I see''", changing their race or other minor features such as glowing hands; or for the same cost they can leave false information for ''Tracking''. Or the character can change their appearance for an entire encounter, or until they engage in combat. This can be used at any time, so long as they are not currently engaged in combat. For example, this feature could be used to change their appearance to that of a Gnoll, causing such NPCs to not attack them and move on to other targets. This skill can be used once each reset.

'''Dodge''': This skill allows the character to avoid a single ranged weapon or packet delivered attack that strikes them. This defense cancels the attack, meaning it does not continue on and hit someone behind them.

'''Envenom''': This skill allows the character to maximize the effect of their poisoned weapons. When activated the character gains a duplicate of all Blade Poisons currently on the weapon; all stacks of Blade Poison will expire at the end of the Encounter if they are not used. Example, if the characters weapon had 2 Paralysis Blade Poisons on it, it would instead become 4 total; however they all expire at the end of the Encounter. This skill does not stack with itself.

'''Escape''': This special defense allows the character to escape from all forms of movement impairing and ''Binding'' effects currently affecting them, instantly ending their duration, though it does not work on ''Contain'' effects or ''Petrify.'' This skill can also be used on a target other than the character; the character must touch the target and maintain concentration for a 5 counted action.

'''Feint''': This skill allows the character to add the ''Body'' Modifier to their next 2 melee weapon attacks, hit or miss.

'''Garrote''': This skill allows the character to greatly hinder their foe. The call for this skill is “Silence Strike”, which will cause the target to be affected by ''Silence''. If used immediately after leaving Hide, the character may add the Surprise Flavor Carrier to the attack, making the call “Silence Strike Surprise”. This attack can only be used with a melee weapon and is one swing, hit or miss.

'''Hide''': This skill allows the character to become Hidden from normal view. This skill has several rules that must be followed for its use: First, in order to use this skill, the character must be next to an object that is stationary or cannot be easily moved, and the object must be larger than the player. Second, it takes a 5 Counted Action to enter Hide, which must be done while no one is actively looking at the character in game. Third, once in Hide, the character must place their hands in front of their chest (closed, with knuckles touching), and can stay there for up to an hour, though the character cannot move from their Hide location (other than minor shifting). While in Hide, they are aware of the world around them and can see and hear anything they would normally be able to. Leaving Hide simply takes a 5 Counted Action.

'''Mob Scene''': This skill allows the character to bolster his allies with razor sharp tactics. When used, all allies within melee weapon reach add the Flavor Carrier "''Critical"'' to their next single attack.

'''Move Silent:''' This skill allows the character to take brief actions without creating any In Game noise, which can be done in a number of ways: First, the character can move up to 15 steps while in ''Hide'' and remain ''Hidden. Second'', the character can make one attack from ''Hide'', adding the “''Surprise''” Modifier and remain H''idden''. This skill is considered ''Passive.''

'''Precision:''' This skill will add two points of damage to the called verbal of a weapon swing when used from behind another character. For example, if you are using a Long Sword whose normal call is "Two Normal" when swinging, taking Precision +2 would mean that your new verbal is 'four normal' when you swing from behind an enemy. This skill stacks and the number given in the skill is the total cumulative number. If you purchase this skill the maximum of 6 times your verbal when behind your opponents will be "Fourteen Normal". Precision is purchased per hand and does not stack when using a two-handed weapon. Ambidexterity may never be used to stack it over your class maximum.

'''Quickness:''' This skill allows the character to reduce a counted action by a degree of time. This cannot be stacked with itself for multiple reductions. This skill is considered a ''Passive Temporary Reduction.''

* Over 60 seconds is reduced by 50%,

* 60 count becomes a 30 count,
* 30 count becomes a 3 count,
* 3 count becomes a 1 count.

'''Roll:''' This skill allows the character to negate a portion of an attack. Roll can only be used to defend against attacks that strike the character with a weapon or packet and have a numerical damage value in the call. When used, the defended attack will only deal half damage (rounded down) and will remove any effect carriers, from the attack.

'''Sap:''' This skill allows the character to incapacitate a target for a brief time. ''Sap'' can only be used from ''Hide'' or ''Conceal'' and causes the target to become unaware of their surroundings until the status is broken or 5 minutes passes. This status will break if the target is subjected to any offensive interaction, including damage, spells, or being physically restrained; however, they can be searched slowly with a 30counted action, or carried away at a slow walk. If the character is in ''Hide'' when they use this skill, they can move up to 10 steps from their starting point, to within arm’s reach of the target, calling "Sap Surprise” to deliver the attack. This attack will not remove them from ''Hide'', unless this skill fails or they choose to remove themselves. A character can only have 1 target ''Sapped'' at a time.

'''Shroud of Night:''' This skill allows the character to conceal their party and move a short distance without being noticed. This allows your party of up to 10 people to move past an encounter without engaging. This skill requires some amount of cover, shadows, or darkness.

'''Sneak Attack:''' This skill allows the user to deliver a vicious attack that is difficult to avoid. When used, the character adds the “Surprise” Modifier to their weapon call. In addition to the ''Surprise'' carrier, if used while attacking a target from the front, the character can add all of their ''Precision'' bonus damage to the attack; and if used to attack a target on the back, their normal damage call is doubled. Example: A character that normally swings “3 Normal” from the front and “7 Normal” from behind would have their calls be “7 Normal Surprise” from the front and “14 Normal Surprise” from the back. When activated the characters next 2 weapons swings will be affected, though they are both a single swing hit or miss.

'''Stash''': This skill allows the character to hide an object, which may contain other items, for up to 3 hours. The object to be hidden can be no larger than 1 cu.ft. in total area. When this skill is used the character must place a “Stash” tag on the item and write the time the skill was used on the back of the tag. While similar to ''Secret Box'' this item can be found though not easily. To notice that there is a stash a character must have at least rank 10 in the ''Track'' skill, and even then, must make a ''Contested Roll'' that is considered to have 10 levels of counter tracking.

== Rogue Powers ==
'''Subtlety:''' This power gives the character +2 additional ''Precision'' damage. This functions just as the ''Precision'' skill, but hand does not need matter.

=== Heroic Rogue Powers ===
'''Combo Move:''' In a fight it is not about the first hit but the follow through. Once each Encounter, when the character lands an Offensive Special Attack, their next Special Attack skill (must be a lower cost technique, minimum 1) is free

'''Escape Plan:''' This Power augments the ''Conceal'' skill so that it can be used so long as the character is conscious, under their own control, are not bound, in a ''Prison,'' or ''Petrified.'' This also makes use of the skill a ''Passive'' ability''.'' In addition to the normal effect of ''Conceal,'' if the character stays concealed for the full 10 seconds, all negative effects will be removed from their person that do not have Instant or Permanent duration. This will also not remove ''Derangements''.

Tjhodges: Looks like that text was just copy/pasted from the edit page

Skills are the things your character can do. They're the basic means by which a character interacts with the world. Skills are heavily influenced by [[Classes|Class]]. Some skills are there for everyone, some are shared across similar classes, some are completely proprietary to the one class that practices them. Most [[Races]] have Skills resulting from their ancestry or native environment. Skills are purchased with [[Advancement|Skill Points]] and every Skill has a description of what it does, what (if anything) it costs to employ, how often it can be used, and what underlying skills are required for it.

== [[Knowledge Skills]]: ==
Knowledge skills represent your character's education in a given field. Sometimes that's formal education, sometimes it's passed down from master to apprentice, sometimes it's just losing the same fight over and over until you start seeing the why of it. Some of them also have practical applications, things your character knows how to do as a result of whatever study taught him the field. Knowledge Skills are explored more fully at:

[[Knowledge Skills|Knowledge Skill Descriptions]]

=== Learning Skills ===
Characters can learn skills in a number of ways. The first is from being taught by an Instructor who already has that skill and spends time teaching it to your character. The second is through the use of Skill Tomes or Spell Scrolls which can be created by someone with the appropriate skills or found as treasure. The third is for those who can't seem to find the first two. A player may spend a Between Game Action (BGA) to spend time learning any basic everyman skill or class skill. The Advanced skills are a little more complex and require the expenditure of two BGAs. These can be spent all at once or over the course of multiple games, however the skill will not be useable until after all appropriate actions have been spent. Additionally, you must have earned the build before finalizing the learning any skill via this method. (i.e., if learning Brew Potion Rank 5, you would need to have the 10 SP ready to be spent after using the second BGA but do not need it available before starting to learn the skill).

Getting Started

Tjhodges: Grammar, punctuation, cleared up some wording

Character creation can seem daunting, however if you'll take it in steps I promise it isn't. There are several things to consider, but honestly it just comes down to what you want to play. I would suggest to help make this decision easier each of the classes will have a short introductory paragraph at the beginning of each section dedicated to that class, as well as for each race and background. So, reading through all of these will be useful in helping you decide what you want to play.

First, you should choose a race. Each one has its own unique role-play, as well as qualities and benefits.

Second, you will need to choose a background which will add its own benefits, skills, and abilities. Whether you choose one to further the specialization of the class you wish to play or choose one to broaden your character’s abilities, the decision is yours.

Third, you choose a class. I’ll take a moment here to reiterate the importance of reading through the summaries before each class. Don't just resign yourself to doing what you have always done, maybe in other LARPs or in TTRPGs. Read through and see what possibilities are out there. There are plenty.

'''Starting statistics:'''

* 50 Skill Points (SP)
* 1 Power
* Read/Write Common
* 1 Rank of Knowledge Area (your race)
* 5 Silver Pieces
* 1 Recipe for each Rank of a Purchased Production skill
* Up to two weapon tags for weapons you are proficient with
* 1 tag for a suit of armor up to your classes maximum rating (judged by the Phys-rep you have)

'''SKILL POINTS:'''

Now you get to spend them!

The 50 SP you receive will be used to purchase skills chosen from your class's basic skill chart and/or the Everyman basic skills chart. These points may also be used to purchase racial abilities for your chosen Race, if applicable. Now I hear you, "why only basic skills?" The reason is simple; Advanced skills MUST be learned from an Instructor during game play or between games. Despair not fair adventurer! There is a Power (remember you start with one), ''Mentor,'' which fulfills the requirement of an instructor for one Advanced skill at character creation, as well as several other uses once you've entered game.

Also, it may not be outside the realm of possibility for an adequately written character history to make a sufficient excuse for the presence of a purchased advanced skill to be present on a brand new characters sheet. I'll provide more details later in this section.

'''POWERS:'''

Power selection can seem a little intimidating at first, but remember you get to select a new one every four levels and get a racial Power slot at every tenth level. Also, you may also purchase racial Powers with regular slots in the event you want a racial power before reaching tenth level, so long as you meet the prerequisites. If the race you chose doesn’t have racial powers, then this functions as a regular power.

'''CHARACTER HISTORIES:'''
I feel like I should specifically state that writing a Character History doesn't have to be a massive undertaking just a couple of pages explaining where your character comes from what their early life was like coupled with wants and desires and even dislikes and hatreds if any. Even in the presence of a Pulitzer prize quality character history it doesn't guarantee it will receive the one classification that really matters for our purposes here, that is "approved by Plot". Your character history is not a part of the game world or would be "Live" until it is approved by the Plot Team, this mechanic exists for several reasons, mostly its to screen character histories for continuity within the game world and make sure they will fit and mesh well with the planned/existing stories. The Second reason we have to check and approve all character histories I really wish didn't exist but it does so here we go, its to check and screen out character histories that grant the character "Super Powers" whether its the fact they were born as the only worlds naturally occurring Master of the Arcane who happens to be a Champion, Or they are the Emperors long lost kidnapped baby grown into an adventurer. Both of the previous examples are not going to survive the process of going through the Plot Team for what I earnestly hope are obvious reasons. I would suggest that if you have a character history in mind that you want to play submit your character history early. Preferably before you invest a large amount of IRL money or effort into costuming and props for said character. We will try to work with you on Character histories that are close but just miss the mark but will almost assuredly kick those that grant "super powers".

(''To elaborate on this a bit:''

''Good character histories tell plot who your character is. Things they like, things they hate, things they want and things they never want to see again. We can take some guesses given a background, class, and race but it's a very broad target with a very small bull's eye. The worlds cover all of the routine origin locations you'd expect and you don't need the details for that - if you can get as far as 'from the city' or 'grew up in the woods', that's plenty and we can help you take it from there.''

''Superpowers present a secondary problem besides (usually) rules problems. Tabletop games can accommodate the volume of attention such characters expect. Larps can't - we have dozens of players and can't run every event centering the last son of a desert ninja and the god empress of Awesomeworld. We can and will make every effort to get everyone involved, but rolling in with Aaravos demands that everyone else becomes a sort of NPC in a game that revolves around him. We can't do that. People leave games where they feel like their own characters are NPCs here to tell someone else's story.''

''Everyone wants cool characters and there's nothing wrong with that. You just can't conflate cool with powerful or unique. We can't tell you what you think is cool, but if you're really stuck for a starting point, reach out and we'll see what we can do. It might also be worth holding off on a character history until you've met the other players and have a good feel for what they do and why; most of the vets can tell you (at sometimes unbearable length) all about their characters and are eager to have new people to tell those stories to.''

''Finally, it's entirely possible that you don't feel like you have enough information to make good decisions or even ask intelligent questions. That's okay too - we'd rather have a good idea late than Rand al'Thor early. Don't worry about falling behind the vets that knew exactly what they wanted before the rules were even available. Soak in as much as you need to, ask around, and think it through. It's worth the extra effort.''
