CHARACTER CREATION:
Name: Appropriate for the race. Check
Name Generators for inspiration and/or to find one.
Race: Choose one from the list below. Please keep the format as "Race (Trait)"
Skills: Choose two from the list below. Please keep the formar as "Trait 1, Trait 2"
Starting Inventory: You start with 10 Denarii (usually), and to have a 'valid' starting inventory, you need an Armor and a Weapon at the very least.
Irrelevant Backstory: No more than 256 characters.
EQUIPMENT:
It is structured as thus:
Weapon:
Shield: (or 2nd Weapon for Ambidextrous)
Armor:
Accessory A:
Accessory B:
Inventory: 4 slots of currently non-equipped Items, Throwables and Utilities.
COMBAT MECHANICS:
Scoring a hit: 1d10 + your Hit bonuses, VS 1d6 + enemy Evasion bonuses; if Hit is higher than Evasion, you score a hit
Damage dealt: (Your Weapon damage range + your flat Damage bonuses - enemy flat Damage reduction bonuses), then multiplied by enemy Resistance value (if present, rounded down).
RESISTANCES:
There are Physical [PHS], Fire [FIR], Magical [MAG] and Poison [PSN] resistances. The first 3 provide a reduction to incoming Damage of the same type: [
+] is 25% damage reduction, [++] is 50%, and [+++] is 75%.
Poison [PSN] reduction instead reduces the maximum level of Poison that can affect you. [
+] restricts Poison to lvl 3, [++] to lvl 2, and [+++] to lvl 1.
Resistances do NOT stack; in case of multiple items providing a Resistance value of the same type, only the 'strongest' applies.
