Hi, and welcome to my first RtD. I'm not really good at writing but since i mainly hang around the roleplaying section, i guess it's worth a try. It will be simple since i just want to see how bad i am.

Many years ago, when mages were powerful and Razvoth, the most powerful of them, ruled the land of Sogroth, (those are not totally random names i swear) everything was peaceful: kids played together, people had fun at inns and you could even stop looking at your wallet for half a second without someone trying to steal it.

But these ages are gone. After years of peace, Urkvith, a power-hungry elf, started a magical war with his huge elven militia. Urkvith was defeated, but Sogroth's power was no longer the same. Many people and mages were dead, many structures ruined, and in that situation Sogroth was now food for goblins and other feral creatures.

And after this useless intro, that's where your adventure starts. You are a mage, one of the few ones, seeking the Labyrinth of Kaliah in search of the Gem of Power. It is said that this gems can give you ultimate power, giving you a +6 bonus to magical stuff!

This uses a d6

I think I am going to make a charsheet. How do you feel about people making up schools of magic?

[conein]

Actually, you can make up any spell related to your magic school. If you want to suggest some magic school, do it.

Ok, the goblin seems pretty good, i will add it. That super low control will cause explosions, maybe i will give the goblins a trait to resist it

[kilakan]

That was partially the intention with the dex mod, but yeah an additional trait might make my very short life ever so slightly longer.

[Hiddenleafguy]

I am done doing stuff so here are the schools I am suggesting:
Conjeration (not quite sure if I am spelling that right) also known as summonation or, in some cultures Aruetii is the art of summoning a creature or object from another plane of existence, and subjecting said creature to your will. According to mages who use this type of magic bending a creature you summon is just as hard, if not harder, then the summoning itself.

Objectional? (Still working on a name) magic is a form of magic where the user uses an item, usually a prized possession, to channel their magic through. The type of magic cast depends on the object's will itself rather then the casters, as the magic flowing through usually, though not always, grants the object sentience.

Sound good for types of magic?

Conjuration is fine, but objectional...i don't quite like it.

[conein]

I'll see.
Would you guys like me to change destruction magic with elemental magic?
I will also change healing with divine magic, since it seems better.

[kilakan]

maybe destruction and a seperate elemental tree.  That way you can have applications of say fire that's not nessicarily destructive like forging arms/armor.
