It's been a long time coming, but It's finally time for the reboot/continuation of Frostfell Wastes v1. This time around, the game will take place in the full setting of Valkain, with the party exploring the the world of Valkain, fighting monsters, saving lives, and progressing ever toward the main story. This game started as a Grimdark Fantasy, and it still remains that even now, only with the setting being Grimdark Dystopian Steampunk Fantasy. So without further ado, Let's get to the system~


[GM note to everyone:]
Game system has been changed, please read through the rules again to see what's up.

Spoiler: General Rules (click to show/hide)

1. GM has final say. Please do not argue with me about something petty. It's pretty rude to constantly yell at the GM because something wasn't fair to you.
2. Follow the Bay12 rules. If you want your alone time with a love interest, take it to the Discord. I will make you a channel so no one else has to see it. I will kick you for not following this golden rule.
3. If you start an argument with another player, please take it to PMs. If you don't and I have to get involved, I will kick you.
4. Have fun. Seriously, while this game is grimdark, it doesn't mean you have to be serious all the time. Have fun with the game, laugh and enjoy yourself.

Spoiler: Stats (click to show/hide)

Characters have 3 stats: Physique, Training, and Mysticism.

Physique is the characters prowess in combat. If you use a sword, a bow, a hammer, or even a sharp pointy stick, this is how you deal damage.
Training is your skill in crafting, sneaking, reaction, etc. This is used when the character must make a check on anything outside of combat.
Mysticism is your magical talent. The higher your magic stat, the more connections to the World line you can make.

Spoiler: Combat (click to show/hide)

At the start of combat, each character rolls their Leylines. Players that do not have any spells, do not do this. (they don't need to)
Once a leyline is rolled, they do not get re-rolled until all leylines are used.

After that, each participant in combat rolls Training to determine turn order. Highest roll goes first, with ties going in order of who has the higher total training. If another tie happens, then GM will choose who goes first.

during each turn, a character gets a dice pool equal to their total Physique. a character may use any number of actions until they exhaust their pool. Actions can include using magic (which do not use Combat dice, but instead leylines). when a player runs out of dice or they end their turn, it moves on to the next player. If a character would recover a combat dice after they expend all of their dice, they may use that dice immediately.

A hit on a dice is any roll of 4-6.

Each character starts with 7 Hit blocks (known as hits). When a character reaches 0 Hits, They are rendered unconscious, and a death check is preformed. If the roll is a 1, the character is killed. if the dice is 2-4, they gain an injury which will need to be treated, and a 6 means the character is simply knocked out.

Spoiler: Actions (click to show/hide)

Actions come in two forms: Active and Passive.

Active actions cost dice to use, and typically are used for attacks, buffs, and other sorts of Combat Tricks.
Passive actions do not cost dice, and are always active. Passives range from Shielding regeneration to gaining additional damage die on attacks.

Any number of Active Actions can be used in a turn, so long as you have the combat dice to do so.

Sample actions:
Active
Claw sweep: Cost 1 Dice, Single target. Roll 1 Damage dice. Refresh 1.
Brace: Costs 1 Dice. Gain 1 Shielding for 1 turn.
Heavy Cleave- Costs 3 Dice. First hit ignores armor. 1 Turn Refresh.

Passive
Dragon hide- Recovers 2 Shielding at the start of their turn.
Crafty- Increases Crafting rolls by +1.
Shield Technique- At the start of each turn, user recovers Shield's Shielding.

Spoiler: Leveling up (click to show/hide)

Level up happens at every increment of 100XP. Yes, you will have to work towards this Typical XP gain from non-boss fights is 25xp while a boss gives between 25xp and 50xp. Certain tests can grant XP based on how hard the test was.

At each level up, characters gain 1 Fate. Fate points can be spent on 1 Hit Block for 1 point or 1 stat point for 2 points.
At every 5th level, a player is granted 1 Action point, to be spent on a new action or a new spell. (note: Actions and spells can be learned outside of leveling up, usually for gold or by finding a teacher.)

Spoiler: Equipment (click to show/hide)

Equipment are used to augment your stats, or otherwise give boons to the character. Equipment can be upgraded at a blacksmith, usually for gold or rare materials. Magical artifacts require a legendary smith, and equally legendary materials.

Sample Equipment:

Name: Scholar's Robes
Description: Long, cerulean blue hooded robes.
Type: Armor
Special Qualities:

Spoiler: Crafting and Gold (click to show/hide)

Crafting is rather simple, in that, unless its for upgrading equipment, all crafting is done via gold and Training tests.

Resources for the craft are purchased with gold, and add a dice to the dice pool for every 100 Gold spent on the craft. If the character already has some of the materials, he adds 1 dice per material he has. Then, the character doing the craft adds in his Training Dice, and must roll against the difficulty of the craft. Example: Smithy Jim is working on upgrading a Steel Short sword. He has 500 gold to his name for the craft, and a training of 3, and 2 bars of steel. His total dice pool is 10, and the test difficulty is 4.

Spoiler: Magic (click to show/hide)

Magic has 5 schools of magic:
Cantrip
Words of Power
Mutation
Alteration
Metamagic


Each spell is made up of at least 1 cantrip, and 1 other school of magic.

Each school will just contain basics. Anything more exotic will need to either be discovered by the characters, or invented entirely.

Even if two characters make a spell using the same parts, the spells may end up vastly differently. This is because of part placement.

This is basically the magic system in a nutshell. It’s super simple.


Schools and their basics:

Cantrips - Spell parts that determine elemental affinity and damage modifier.
Umbra -  adds the unholy affinity to the spell.
Sanctus - adds the holy affinity to the spell.
Ignis - adds the fire affinity to the spell.
Fulgur - adds the lightning affinity to the spell.
Aqua - adds the water affinity to a spell
Ventus - adds the wind affinity to a spell
Terra - adds the earth affinity to a spell

Words of Power - spell parts that turn the spell vocal, but add amazing effects.
Maximus - increases spell size, doubling the effect of the spell.
Remedium - causes the spell to remove an effect based on the cantrip when used.
Fortis - Cause the spell to fortify resistance against damage or effects based on Cantrip.
Infirmi - Causes the spell to weaken effects or resistance based on cantrip.

Mutation - spell parts that change how a spell operates. . (this school is almost unknown, as few mages and wizards have researched it.)
Animus - turns the spell into a magical construct, usually in the form of an elemental.
Fascinare - Imbues the spell into an object instead of casting.
Transmutare - Warps the spell, causing it to gain or lose spell parts when cast.

Alteration -  spell parts that alter the spell’s behavior.
Fluctus - Causes the spell to weave past the original target, striking a random target instead.
Findo - Causes the spell to split before hitting the target, striking two targets instead, causing it to use up an additional block of mana.
Mora - Causes the spell to disappear temporarily, instead striking later on.
Itero - Causes the spell to repeat after use

Metamagic - Spell parts that increase or decrease the power, scope, or range of a spell. This school of magic is by far the strongest.
Visus - Cause the spell to happen at the target, with little to no travel time. Spell costs an additional mana block in. Causes the spell to ignore shielding and barriers.
Gravitas - Causes the spell to become affected by gravity and have weight to it.
Spectralis - Cause the spell to ignore armor and barriers

Example Healing spell (since I promised one)
Spell parts used: Sanctus  Fasinare Tactio
Lay on Hands: Roll 1 Dice, on hit, restore 1 hit to target. On 6, restore 2 hits to target.

Spell break down: Sanctus infuses Holy into the spell, While Fasinare Infuses the spell into a being, changing the spell into a healing spell. Tactio was included to allow the spell to be touch range, reducing it's cost down 1 mana, since Fasinare increased it by one.

Name: Freyja Frostwind
Age: 18
Sex: Female
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Personality: Slightly shy, but is quite friendly. Easily spooked. When spooked, she can be quite bossy and bring out her natural nobility rudeness.
Appearance: Picture! Stands at a short 4'11".
History: 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 any guest to their warm hearth, and to partake in their 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 ruler of the noble house. Freyja, looks up to her ancestor, and thirsts for adventure as her blood before her did, 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. However, a year before the beginning of our story, House Aumont  (bannermen to House Frostwind), slaughtered Freyja's family at a feast, as the Emperor dubbed her house traitors. With this catastrophic event, Freyja vowed to herself to clear her family name, and restore House Frostwind to the Crown of Ice.

Spoiler: the abomination joins the occultist (click to show/hide)

Name: Elaine
Age: ??
Gender/Sex: Female
Race: Human (??)
Personality: Elaine is very quiet, keeping to herself and avoiding long conversations, except with those she opens up to. She is very reserved and polite, referring to others with honorifics, whether they are lords or commoners. If she feels threatened, she shies away from the offender, attempting to steer clear of them, and she will attempt to leave the vicinity of anyone attempting to pry into her history. Despite this, she is curious and kind, often stopping to help others in her own little way. She prefers to follow rather than lead, with very little apparent will to show off; when pressed or when those she cares about are endangered, however, she may make impressive shows of will to stand her ground and protect those she holds most dear.

Appearance: Elaine is a willowy, lithe woman, standing around 5'5", appearing in her early twenties. Her skin is pale, almost porcelain, and her eyes are a deep lilac colour. Her hair is silver, almost white, with a bluish tinge, lending an ethereal air to her. Her dress is iridescent, cloaked in a rough-cut pelt of an unknown animal with dark fur, seeming to shimmer where she moves and the qualities of which transfer onto the skins of the creatures she transforms into, whether with shimmering scales or white fur and feathers. The pelt has a leather hood sewn onto it, for her to keep her head concealed and warm in the cold Valkan winters; however, she never seems to be inconvenienced by the cold or heat. Elaine seems beautiful, in the ethereal, mysterious sense of a shrine maiden rather than the vivacious sense of a noblewoman, but there seems to be a hint of the unnatural about her.

Or this.

[Metamorphosis +5 - SYN] Elaine's magic is nonverbal and cannot be forgotten, instead allowing her to alter her body in painful transformations that increase her stats in place of casting the usual spells. In turn, Elaine is entirely unable to use Valkan magic and the transformations draw from her health as well as from her mana. Grants Elaine x1.5 damage to all attacks while transformed.

[Healer +1 - INT] Elaine is skilled in the art of healing people without magic. +1 to healing rolls using potions and non-magical methods.

[Mysterious Oracle +4 - INT] Elaine, despite her unknown origins, seems rather intelligent and well-informed in a wide range of subjects. +4 to knowledge/lore rolls.

Basic Attack: Hit an enemy for (2d6+Attack) damage.
Basic Defend: Block (1d6+Armor) damage from attacks.

[Active]
Clarity: Elaine's body pulses with a powerful energy, cleansing impurities and mental impairment from her mind. Cleanses all debuffs from Elaine. Cooldown: 3 turns.

[Passive]
Imbue Quintessence: Elaine's transformative abilities confer some sort of draining ability upon her, allowing her to siphon power from the dying. Living creatures slain near Elaine restore 1 mana to her.

Dragonskin: The Form of the Beast grants Elaine stone-like skin, allowing her to resist damage far in excess of humans and Beastkin alike. +5 Armor while transformed.

Apotrope: Elaine's warped, transformed flesh confers some sort of resistance against magic, as spells wash over her body like water. Elaine is resistant to magical assault while transformed, having doubled armor against magic.

Renewal: Elaine's unique biology seems to confer regenerative abilities upon her, allowing her to recover quickly from wounds as well as the stresses of transformation. Elaine regains 3 HP per turn while transformed. This is doubled while untransformed.

Biological Alteration: Elaine's transformations grant versatility far in excess of that which might be achieved through magical alteration of the body. While transformed, Elaine has an extra +7 stat points that may be applied where desired. Elaine cannot apply more than 5 points in a single stat and cannot apply it to her CON.

+ Close at Hand: Cannot be disarmed.
- Obsoletion: This cloak is unusable while Elaine is transformed.

Fury of the Beast [Offense]
The horns, claws and other things that Elaine uses to rend her enemy to pieces. Is also employed for her ranged weapons as well as her melee weapons.
[Weapon]
[+7 Damage]
[Requires: - ]
+ Bodypart: Cannot be removed from Elaine.
-/+ Form of the Beast: Requires no stats, due to being part of Elaine's body. In return, Elaine does not have the ability to use this weapon while untransformed.

Elaine's Staff [Offense]
A wooden staff that Elaine uses for self-defense. It will work in a pinch, but she is far stronger while transformed.
[Melee Weapon]
[+3 Damage]
[Requires: - ]
+ Close at Hand: Cannot be disarmed from Elaine.
- Obsoletion: Cannot work while Elaine is transformed.

Elaine's Dress
The oracle's mysterious dress. Made of a soft material unidentified in Valkain.
[Accessory]
[No Bonuses]
[No Stat Reqs.]
+ Mysterious Material: Shifts with Elaine's transformations, allowing it to remain pristine while she transforms.

Spell Parts Acquired: None. Elaine does not employ Valkan magic and cannot employ it due to her own magic interfering with it.

Spells: Elaine, due to not employing voice components to her spells or requiring incantations, does not have a spellbook to lose and cannot therefore forget spells.

Form of the Beast: Elaine summons a force from within herself, undergoing a painful transformation as her body warps and enlarges to assume the form of a powerful monster. Forces Elaine to assume the form of a hulking, humanoid, beast-like abomination. Costs 1 Mana + 2 HP to transform. Elaine may transform instantly if untransformed and attack on the same turn; untransforming is free but consumes her turn. The resulting abomination must be entirely terrestrial; she cannot transform into flight-capable or aquatic forms using this. The transformation drains 1 Mana block per turn Elaine remains transformed; if she runs out of mana, she cannot transform again until she regains at least 2 Mana blocks.

Terror from Above: Elaine's transformation is winged, permitting her to fly and glide on winds. Adds an additional 2 HP to the transformation cost.

Breath of the Wild: Elaine's transformation has a ranged weapon, such as fire breath or quills, allowing her to use SYN instead of STR for attacking. Adds an additional 2 HP to the transformation cost.

Spoiler: jeepers creepers ive been playing a lot of slime rancher (click to show/hide)

Name: Pitua Limus
Age: 23
Sex: Female (?)
Gender: Female
Race: Fae - Lesser Water Elemental - Slime

Personality: Pitua is... not the most outgoing of people. The slight bubble that accompanies her voice whenever she speaks doesn't help her anxiety, and she's lived a lot of her life researching spells rather than communicating with others. She might act meek and lack self confidence, but she knows what is right and will speak up against actions she disagrees with. Even if a little nervously. Usually she will try to involve herself in conversation, shyly, but if she is focused on something it will have her undivided attention.

Appearance: Formed out of a blue gelatinous substance, Pitua's body is that of a particularly well-endowed female, her partial solidity only emphasizing her curved form. She stands at about 5'3". She drips slime occasionally from the ends of her body, causing a slight trail to often form behind her. Her legs are separate, although if she is standing still for extended periods of time they will join together. She is not sticky, and can move freely on the ground, but her body bounces with every movement she makes. Her 'hair' (actually just an extension of her body) is usually drawn out to be quite long, and usually only falls from one side of her head, giving her the look of someone with an undercut. Her face is quite beautiful by human standards, save for the uncanny lack of nose and ears, as her lips and dazzling blue eyes draw attention from those around her. Usually unwanted, as she is not great at dealing with it. The center of her body is defined by a dense sphere of slime located deep within her torso. Her outfit consists of a flowing hooded robe (however the hood is always kept down to maintain her hair), which hugs her figure tightly but doesn't show off much... skin? Underneath the robes is rarely seen, but she wears a set of feminine undergarments, complete with stockings, garters, and a corset. She also wears some simple brown flat shoes, to prevent her from making too much mess. She is usually accompanied by one or two spherical blue slimes that roll after her, and she has a wide range of books in a brown backpack. This does not include her spell book, as that is usually in one of her hands, or strapped to her waist.

Level: 1
Exp: 0/100

HP: 20
Mana: 6
Armor: 1

Stats:
Constitution: 4
Dexterity: 3 (6)
Intelligence: 10
Resistance: 3
Strength: 3
Synergy: 12

Quirks:
[Magical Nature +3 - SYN] Magic uses SYN, as she is attuned to the elements from which she was created. This magical nature allows Pitua to maintain her physical gelatinous form.

[Slimesmith +2 - SYN] Pitua can create gelatinous followers during combat and out of combat to help her with whatever she needs. These slimes are very stupid and need to be directly commanded by Pitua. Luckily she can do this by simply willing them to act.

[Studious +2 - INT] Having studied from many ancient and modern texts, Pitua knows a lot of general info about the world and it's history. Although it's not enough to know everything, she can apply this knowledge when dealing with particular landmarks or ruins, giving her a +2 advantage to examining and interacting with such things.

[One with the Fae +2 - SYN] As an elemental, Pitua can communicate with Lesser Fae, and knows how to speak to them. She gains a +2 bonus in such conversations.

Crafting - [Scribe +1 - INT] Pitua can write fluently in both common and the language of the Fae, and may write arcane scrolls. Once she imbues these with mana, they can be used without a mana cost. These obviously take time and mana to create, and aren't made incredibly often.

Basic Actions:
Basic Attack - Pitua attacks with a weapon, or by simply hitting an enemy with a slimy tendril.
Basic Defense - Pitua blocks using her gelatinous arms. Surprisingly not any better than normal arms!
Retreat

Active Actions:
Slime Lob - Detaching a small part of her body (one that will not cause her any great pain), Pitua flings a blob of now-sticky slime at an enemy. This deals SYN Water damage and sticks the target in place. Cooldown of 2 turns.
Amorphous Blade - Pitua uses mass from one of her arms to extend the other into a long blade-like protrusion, hardening it with excess mass. She then uses this to slash at an opponent, dealing SYN + STR Water damage. Cooldown of 3 turns.
Natural Energies - Using her Fae powers, Pitua can access natural reserves of mana if she is standing in a pool of water. If she is standing or submerged in water, she can use this action to regenerate 2 Mana Blocks. Additionally, the cost of her water spells is reduced by 1 for 1 turn after she uses this action. Cooldown of 4 turns.
Slimeknot - A thin-ish tendril of slime extends out of Pitua's arm, wrapping around a nearby enemy. This restrains the enemy, making them unable to perform actions until this action is called off, or until they have rolled higher than 4 on a d6. The target rolls 1d6 at the beginning of each turn while under this effect. Cooldown of 4 turns.

Passive Actions:
Aqua Affinity - Pitua can breath completely fine in water, and can move freely as though she was walking on air. She also regenerates 5 HP per turn she spends completely submerged underwater. If the water is extremely hot or cold this regeneration does not apply. She is not affected by Water element damage.

Augment Actions:
Scholarly Scriptures - Using the books she carries around with her, plus the knowledge she's gained over the years, Pitua can get a detailed understanding of the location she's in or a particular object. That is, of course, unless it's somewhere completely uncharted. This knowledge will let her know of an item's usage, whether or not ir is cursed, and it's approxamite value and stats when used on an item. When used on a location, it will tell her the local flora and fauna, potential environmental hazards, ruins or dungeons in the area, and settlements/trade caravans that reside in the area.

Name: Scholar's Robes
Description: Long, cerulean blue hooded robes which flow behind her.

Fae Regeneration - This armor also allows Pitua to manipulate her form, and remove pieces of her body, without loss to her vitality. Although she still is hurt by anyone else removing parts of her body, she can reform any piece she removes. This proves quite useful in a variety of situations.

Type: Weapon.
Damage/ Armor Bonus: +2
Minimum Stats: 6 SYN, 4 INT

Description: A typical feather pen, except... it's coated in slime, rather than ink. Seems to function all the same, however.

Damage/ Armor Bonus: +0
Minimum Stats: 5 SYN, 3 INT
Special Qualities: Elemental Ink - The slime coating this pen allows Pitua to write special elemental scrolls pertaining to her affinity with water. She can scribe water-based scrolls twice as fast as other scrolls.

Spell Parts Acquired: Aqua, Animus, Fascinare

Spellbook: Summon Slime: [Spell Parts used: Aqua, Animus, Fascinare] This spell summons a gelatinous sphere, which can roll and maneuver through water and on land. It is bouncy, and can jump a bit if it falls from a decent height. While the Slime is inert on it's own, Pitua can will it to act with her mind. This summon uses 1 Mana Block per hit (taken and delivered). Each Slime possesses 3 Mana Blocks and can cast Slimy Thwip, while also possessing a 1d6 Basic Attack. Summon Slime costs 2 Mana Blocks to cast.

Other: Slimy Thwip - A Slime extends it's body out to whack an enemy. This deals 1d6 + 1 Water damage, while also slowing the enemy down (moving them down one place in initiative order.)

Age: 23
Sex: Female
Gender: Female
Race: Arctic Lupine (Beastkin)

Personality: (I am bad at deciding an entire personality right away, i generally have to play a bit to know for certain)Aspen is quick to act to threats and intimidation with violence, but is otherwise very friendly, those who earn her trust are treated as family. Aspen is inquisitive and intelligent, but perhaps surprising to many, struggles to read as her people do not write, but is learning how as she views illiteracy as a bar to gaining more knowledge.  She is innately magical, calling on ice as easily as breathing, causing her people believe that she is a spirit of winter made flesh, this belief is not helped by her ability to siphon nearby magical energy. Aspen does NOT approve of doggy jokes directed at her, and more than one person has lost a limb when they refused to stop.

Appearance: Almost Pure White, Aspen does have some pale blue markings under her eyes and down her back, She stands 2 Meters tall when straight, but her gait normally has her leaning forward, she and whatever she is wearing is almost always covered with a sheen of rime as though heat cannot bear to be near her. Her General Clothing is mostly Just harnesses for Carrying things as her VERY LONG and FLUFFY fur (which prevents seeing anything NSFW) makes wearing clothing Incredibly uncomfortable. Mages in her vicinity can feel a slight tug in her direction as though their magic wanted to go that way
