Welcome to Frostfell Wastes, a new forum game hosted and GMed by me, and with special assistants Shadestyle and Projeck. They will be helping me manage some of the things going on in this game. Before we begin, a Little introduction to the setting:

Frostfell Wastes is a horror themed land that many horrible monsters call home. Ranging from Werewolves to zombies, to gorgons and many other horrors,the land is a harsh bitter escape from the stagnant life on Valkain, the main continent. This means that most of the fights will be dangerous, hard, and will most certainly contain a chance at death. But don't worry, Death is not permanent. So long as you have the money and the materials, a resurrection can be bought at your local church of St. Esbel. But be warned, your soul is very vulnerable to the dangers that lurk in the land. A demon, Lich, or even one of the angels may lay claim to your soul, forever sealing off your chance at living again.

Anyways, enough with the grimdark, let's get to it!

Spoiler: Rule Section (click to show/hide)

General:
-This system uses a series of different generic rolls for various situations, most of which can be grimdark:
-DAMAGE: [Weapon Damage + [Damage Stat + Bonuses] - [Enemy RES + Bonuses]]
-SKILL ROLLS: [3d6 + [Applicable Stat + Bonuses]
-NEGOTIATION: [STAT + 3d6 + Bonuses]- CHA  for charm, INT for Diplomacy, STR for Intimidation
-However, certain Actions have their own die to roll. For them, simply use the Damage Roll and substitute Weapon Damage for the die to be rolled.
-SNEAK ATTACKS: Deal full damage on an attack that is unheard and unseen. Attacks against a sleeping enemy counts as a sneak attack.
-HP AND REACHING 0: Hitting 0 HP means you are at the mercy of your enemy. If they strike you again, you die. Even if you somehow get healed by then, so long as you are knocked out (which ends at the end of the current turn), you can still be possibly captured or killed. So, be wary of your health if you are still in critical condition.
-PVP: This is in. You can fight, and possibly kill, your fellow characters. Doing so is frowned upon, and, in most cases, considered murder.
-ARMOR: Armor has more functions than just preventing damage. It can help prevent a critical strike against you, help you resist magical effects, and even grant you some minor protection from steep falls.

Combat:
-Accuracy will not be rolled for unless called for. All attacks will be assumed to have hit bar inherent Perks or Skills affecting the accuracy of attacks.
-Critical Hits are rolled by a d20, with critical hit boosters boosting the roll by a percentage. If the roll is a 20, the attack is critical and does double damage.
-One enters Critical status either under 25% of maximum health or under 10 HP, whichever comes first. If one is then reduced to 0 HP, one is Unconscious, and must be stabilized or risk death in three turns. If someone is stabilized, they return to combat with the left over HP from stabilizing. However, some enemies will go for kills, so be weary and protect your allies.

Classes
There are six classes: (None of these use magic, except for Cleric which uses pseudo magic in the form of prayers or blessings.)

Alchemist: Uses herbs and beast parts to make healing salves and other such curables. Tends to stay out of combat. -Prefered Stat: Intelligence
Warrior: The damage dealer of any group. Likes to get up close and personal. -Prefered Stat: Strength
Ranger: The animal lover of the group. Has beasts to assist in attacking and drawing enemy fire. -Prefered Stat: Dexterity
Monk: The Debuffer. Uses unarmed or blunt weapons to debilitate enemies. -Prefered Stat: Agility
Guardian: the protector. Has a large amount of health and tends to withstand a lot of punishment. -Prefered Stat: Constitution
Cleric: The Boon giver. Uses prayers and blessings to grant allies with protection or healing. -Prefered Stat: Charisma

Skills
You start at level 1 with 3-4 Skills based on your Class. At each level up, you gain a new skill to add to your arsenal.

By spending a 20 Cirns at a skill trainer, you can gain a new action or level up an existing skill to [Trained] status, bolstering the skill and causing it to be more effective

Perks
You may start with up to 1 free perk and up to 2 additional perks that each come with a downside.

You may also take up to any number of flaws. This is mostly to help with your specific characters difficulty level. Have fun dying.

Example of a perk with a negative trait:
Berserker- You deal an additional 2 damage and take an additional 2 damage per character  level

Example Perk:
Wind Rider: You cut through the air like a graceful dancer. You negate 1 damage per character level.

Death
Though dying is painful and can mentally scar you, it's not the end. Not truly, anyways.
For a measly 50 Cirns and a gem of varying quality, the local church can bring you back to life.
There are 10 Gem levels, each providing benefits the others do not do, all having a chance to return your items to you, in case you lost them:
Ruby- the standard gem for resurrections. Use this if your body is recently deceased and still intact.
Sapphire- use if your body has taken a bit of damage, maybe from a flesh eating monster.
Garnet- Use if your body was burned horribly before death.
Jade- Died of poison and your body has melted? Use this gem.
Turquoise- Got drowned by a sea monster and your body is water logged? This is the cure.
Onyx- Was fighting with a demon lately? Died of a curse? This gem is a blessing.
Diamond- If your body has been dismembered and you can't resurrect it, this gem can fix your issues.
Agate- for those who were strangled or hung, this gem can help you breath easy.
Bloodstone- Vampire attack got you feeling light headed? Waded into a swamp only to be killed by a giant leach? Get a pick-me-up with this gem.
Malachite- The rarest of magical gems, and the best for resurrection. Will always resurrect you back to pristine condition and transpose any items that you might have had before your timely death.



Currency:
There are 4 levels of currency in the Wastes:
Solks- the lowest form.
Felns- Worth 100 Solks. Typical form when being paid for bounty board missions.
Cirns- Worth 100 Felns
Arnds- Worth 100 Cirns. Highest form.

Spoiler: Crafting, operated by Shadestyle (click to show/hide)

Basic Craft Roll, 3d6 + Stat, Critically failing a roll results in either a poor version of the item, or damaged versions of all the materials

Deconstructing an item uses a craft roll, and returns half of the materials in a “Damaged” form.

HP: Roll 1d2, on 1, take damage equal to Mat’s Damage dice, Add “Hastily Made” Tag to finished product
Requires Autosuccess in respective roll, requires blueprint or prototype
Can be performed while in danger.

SP: Roll 1d2, on 1, take Stamina damage equal to mat’s skill mod.
Requires Autosuccess in respective roll, requires blueprint or prototype
Takes large amounts of time, but can be used for batch crafting.

Dexterity: Dex v Mat, Int v Mat, Add “Rough” tag to Finished product

Intelligence: Int v Mat, Int v Mat.

Agility: Agility v Mat, Agility v Matx2, Dex v Mat, add Add “Hastily Made” Tag to finished product

Spoiler: Boss Souls (click to show/hide)

Boss Souls
Boss Soul itself is an mist like ethereal substance. It doesn't reform on it's own. Basic principle is that you can absorb it to add it to your own soul, gaining a part of the bosses powers, or you can take it to a dedicated soul smith (has to be an NPC) who can work it into either a weapon based on the Boss, or a unique item based on the qualities of the boss.

An absorbed boss soul also affects their own crafting with positive and negative effects, an example being weak materials either becoming stronger or breaking when crafted with.

Alchemy is the production of common chemicals and consumables after absorbing the soul of a boss

A restraint buckle can be commissioned from soul smiths, they can make one metal badge, buckle, or button from any boss soul that represses a boss soul's effects on the wearer until removed or damaged

Chance of Soul Accident is one tenth Soul Level over Normal Level

So a level 10 character with 20 soul levels will have uncontrollable effects in their crafting.

The chances of this being bad or good are around 50/50, and an amount of effects equal to their Soul Level Squared is added.

Ergo, Crafting mishaps are at a (SL/10)/L chance, and will result in √SL additional effects.

Personality: Kind, Calm, Tactical, Steadfast. Outgoing. Loves animals.
Background: Syrgan was originally born in the Frostfell Wastes, but as a child he was orphaned and raised in village near the capital far to the south of his native homeland. At a young age he proved proficient with a bow and quickly joined the ranks of rangers in his new village, even proving  his ability by befriending a young wolf and a raven. His true feat of heroism is when a monstrous wolf attacked his village. Syrgan fought the beast after it had killed most of the village guard, luring it back out of town and into the woods where his traps were. Watching the beast get caught, Syrgan experienced his first great hunt. It was deemed on that day that he was born a spirit of the hunt, and was taken to Esbellern to train at the church of St. Esbel to be a member of the Tarn Guard. At age 27, Syrgan proved himself once more, felling one of the roaming Cursed Mournwoods that roamed near the border to the Great Swamp of Kelern. Though the hunt was successful, Syrgan wasn't without injuries. The Cursed Mournwood had severely injured him, leaving its mark upon his chest. He was left weakened, but he instead he was still fit for duty. The church could not say no, and allowed him to continue his work. Several years later, He was brought before the High Priest of St. Esbel, Karagin, to undertake a new mission, one that would take him back to his homeland.

Spoiler: Moe as fug (click to show/hide)

Name: Freyja Frostwind
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Appearance: Picture!
Personality: Slightly shy, but is quite friendly. Easily spooked. When spooked, she can be quite bossy and bring out her natural nobility rudeness.
Background: Freyja was born as the sole daughter of the House of Frostwind, a name that dates back hundreds of years. They "rule" from their stronghold-like estate, dubbed 'The Crown of Ice' by the peasantry, out in the wastes. The Frostwinds have been the foothold for those expanding out further into the waste, to hold back the tide of evil. They're a friendly house, always welcoming those to their warm hearth, and fresh mutton. They also often pay adventurers to help the further out settlements (which they often levy taxes from), when the adventurous and warrior house doesn't partake in it themselves. Their thirst for adventure strives from the third house ruler many many generations ago, Holmbjorn II, arguably the most powerful ever of the noble house. Freyja, looks up to her ancestor, and thirsts for adventure as her blood before her, striving for such incredible honor and title... but she's a little off, when it comes to being the greatest warrior in her house. Anyways, Freyja grew up in her estate, opting out of her mother's attempts at grooming her for command more than anything else. She instead, took up the sword and shield to follow in the footsteps of her adventurous ancestors. Her father (Ymir) admired the combativeness in her fiery youth. And thus, once Freyja became of age, she was sent out to help out in the Wastes, as a true Frostwind warrior would.

PTW without even knowing what this is.

Spoiler: Lillian (click to show/hide)

Name: Lillian Rook. “Real” last name is Steelwood, but she doesn’t know that.
Age: 19, approaching 20
Gender: Female

Appearance: Lillian, clothes aside, does not look like how one would think of a farmgirl. She is about 5 feet, 4 inches tall, with silver-colored eyes and straight brown hair that goes a bit past the shoulders (this is dyed because her father asked her to do so; her natural color is a very light blonde, although it seems closer to white to some people). Features-wise, she seems more on the side of “cute”, but one gets the sense she could be more than that if she bothered to try. She generally wears comfortable and warm clothing in dark colors like brown or black.

Personality: Hard-working, kind, loyal

Background:
When one thinks of the town of Tref Haearn, or “Iron Town”, what one usually thinks of is the vast metal stores that make the town the booming economic center it is. What one does not think of is the rich soil that is in the entire territory and allows Iron Town to grow so quickly without running out of food. Lillian does not forget these lands, as they are her livelihood. Growing up in a small farming village right on the border of the territory, Lillian grew up being told to work hard, be kind, and other such lessons, by her father Arlan Rook. She also learned how to mix potions and salves, in order to cheaply and easily treat the sicknesses of people and animals. She was also told which mixes would be dangerous…

While she is unaware of this, her father’s real name is Arlan Steelwood, brother to the current head of the Steelwood family. The Steelwood family were Tref Haearn’s founders and leaders, known for their familial politics and the inheritance issues that come with having so many children. Arlan himself had sired six children before Lillian, and that’s not even getting into all the children his siblings have had. Needless to say inheritance debates and who becomes the next head arguments get… heated. Arlan himself was part of this world, until he met Lillian’s mother, a simple produce farmer, while on the town. Things happened quickly, and months later Lillian was conceived. Unlike his previous partners, Arlan truly loved this woman; he didn’t want her, or their daughter, to get caught up in his world. They would never let him leave, though; he, and any children he sired, would still be fully eligible for inheritance, and his family would want them where they could see them. So he faked his death with the help of sympathetic servants, changed his name, and ran away with his beloved. Months later, Lillian was born, and it seemed like it was a success. However, some of Arlan’s siblings are unsure of whether he is truly dead, and a different last name does not stop Lillian from having the distinctive features of the Steelwood line, the silver eyes and white-blonde hair and other less obvious features.

Lillian’s family- the Rooks, not the Steelwoods- is in dire straits, which brings us to her reason to go to the Frostfell Wastes; a recent sickness has been afflicting many of the crops of Tref Haearn, causing a famine among the poorer classes as the rich import food from outside. Lillian negotiated to have food and funds sent to her family while she works for the adventurers of the church, and fully intends to leave once crops can be grown again. Besides, perhaps her experiences will make her a better person? Or perhaps she will learn of her heritage?

[SOLDIER First]

ptw, but a little disappointed about instant hits

[TheBiggerFish]

Eeehhh.

This seems like a bit too much of a hodgepodge of ill-defined mechanics for me to jump at it.

And that is a sad statement.

[Twinwolf]

Alright, now that I have actually given the OP a glance, I have to ask: You've given us a location, you've given us rules, you've given us a character sheet. Where's the rest?

We don't know about the rest of the world. We don't know who we are or why we're together. There are just some things that need clarifying.

[TheBiggerFish]

Oh!  Yeah!  Lore!  We need that!

[SOLDIER First]

I'd say the beginning lore will be fleshed out once we're all actually done with sheets.

[Sanure]

Main continent is Valkain. Most poeple will have lived either in Esbellern, or in small namless villages near it. Some people, like myself, may have been born in Frostfell and been raised in Valkain. Other than that, Most of the lore will be in the Intro to the game in the IC.

Eeehhh.

This seems like a bit too much of a hodgepodge of ill-defined mechanics for me to jump at it.

And that is a sad statement.

Oh? So your calling trespassers a hodgepodge of ill-defined mechanics?

ptw, but a little disappointed about instant hits

Want me to make Accuracy a thing? I can,

[SOLDIER First]

I mean, it's not that big a deal, don't worry. Just a pet peeve.
