Welcome to the Realms of Ethara. This is a live action medieval fantasy role play game
set in the world of Ethara. Ethara is a large planet of many continents, islands, and oceans. In
this world you will find many races, creatures, and magic. The world has much conflict; Many of
the races and creatures contend with each other for power, land, and many other various
reasons.
The world has a lot of long lost ruins and relics left over from past civilizations. Many
adventurers spend their days seeking out these ruins to search for relics and/or just for the
excitement of it. Most of these adventurers are a cut above your average person; These special
adventures are often referred to as descended. Scholars believe descended are people that
have been touched by magic, blessed by the Gods, or may even have a God in their ancestral
path. Descended are usually better at magic and/or skills of combat than normal people. One
thing that is certainly true is that descended are the only people capable of being brought back
to life through resurrection magic.
A Message From Our Founder, Jason

In this game you will role play a descended character of your own creation following the
rules contained within this book. The rules are designed to give a player many customization
options. Don‟t be alarmed by the number of different skills and magic in the game. Read the
rules, ask questions, and in time you will know most if not all of it. Even the most experienced
players need to ask a question or refer to the rules from time to time, and remember it is not all
about the rules… It is all about the story.

Major Rules of Play
1. Timeout: This is a call made to temporarily stop the game. This is called out loud and
repeated by those nearby so that everyone in the immediate area can hear it. This is
called if it is necessary for a rules clarification, if a person is about to be injured for real
and they are backing toward a hazard and don‟t see it, or if a person is hurt for real. In
the case that someone is hurt for real please also call for a medic. All medics that hear
the call please respond. During a timeout all of the players not involved in the reason for
it should keep their head down and remain quiet until the timeout is resolved. At the end
of the timeout call aloud “Is there any reason for this timeout to continue?” If not “Three,
two, one, game on.” And resume play.
2. No Bull Crap: We are all here to play a game. Treat your fellow players with respect.
Remember that guy is not mad at you for real, his character is mad at your character.
As you become immersed in the game it can sometimes be hard not to get upset for
real. Staff reserves the right to ask a player to leave if they deem it necessary.
3. Roguing: No going into somebody else‟s sleeping quarters without their permission
unless you have a marshal.
4. Check in and out: You must check in to play and check out before leaving. If you leave
the site temporarily to get food or supplies, please let the event staff know.
5. Character Updates/Spending bennies: Any updates to your character including

spending build, production, tags needed, and spending bennies, must be sent in to
logistics by the Sunday before an event. You will receive your character sheet and any
tags requested at check-in, no updates will be done during this time. We use Google
Sheets to keep track of players characters and bennies. Upon joining, you will have a
file linked with your gmail account, here you can comment on your sheet/file or
email logistics directly at realmsofethara@gmail.com
6. Minors: Minors can play if they have the consent of a legal guardian and someone 18
years or older at the event that their guardian trusts to look after them. The minor must
also be mature enough to handle losing and be able to grasp the rules. A waiver must
be signed.
7. Drugs and Alcohol: No illegal drugs period. We generally play at sites that do not
allow alcohol. Regardless, there is no playing under the influence.
8. Clean up: Please clean up after yourself. Please clean your sleeping area before you
leave an overnight event.
These rules are subject to change during and in-between events as issues arise.
7
General Rules of Play
1. Every character has health points: If reduced to zero or less the character is down.
See Death Count.
2. Spell Packets: If a spell packet hits you, your clothing, or any weapons or shield you're
holding then the spell hit you.
3. Weapon safety: Do not knowingly use unsafe weapons. If in doubt ask a marshal.
4. Combat safety: Head shots and tender areas are not legal targets. But keep in mind
that accidents do happen. Do not full force swing. Blow thru doesn‟t count.
5. Restrooms are out of play: Do not go in them just to hide.
6. Try to keep in character as much as possible: This is especially the case in common
play areas. Try not to ruin other player's immersion.
7. Phys reps are your real property and they cannot be stolen: However the tags that
those items represent may be stolen. Without the tag the rep cannot be used. A stolen
rep must be turned into plot within sixty minutes unless the rogue is being pursued. The
plot team or a marshal will give the rep back to the owner and make sure the thief gets
the item tag. Named item tags will be recognizable to those who have had interaction
with them before.
8. Packet Handling: A player cannot have a packet in the same hand as a weapon or
shield and cast with that hand.
9. Rule Exceptions: If a skill, spell, or ability states in its description that it breaks the
normal rules then it does so.

General Terms
● Live Action Roleplay (LARP)- A role play game where the participants act out the

character. Often times playing a monster, antagonist, or the role of a local plot
character.

not the only reason to go out of game is to use the restroom.

events, that does not mean your character suddenly knows about those events.

together by a rubber band. Used to cast magic spells and throw poison in-game.
Thrown poison spell packets must be orange.

To Live or Die
The rules to follow govern if characters live or die.
Death Count
The death count has three phases. You cannot use skills during any of these phases but you
can use willpower abilities or any special ability/skill or spell that states in its description that you
may. You may not interrupt an attack or killing blow while in any phase of Death Count.
Phase One, Injured: (1 minute)

If damage takes you to zero or less than zero health, you are in this phase. Don‟t keep
track of the negative numbers, you are simply at negative one. In this phase you are conscious
but too hurt to move away from your position other than crawling if you wish. In this phase any
healing will get you up; Add the healing given to your current health from a value of negative
one but remember not to go over your health total. After one minute in this phase (keep track)
or if you are struck by damage again while in this phase, you enter phase two.
Phase Two: Dying: (2 minutes)

During this phase your character is unconscious. Count two minutes. In this phase any
healing will get you up just like phase one “injured.” After the two minutes have expired you
enter phase three.
Phase Three: Dead: (3 minutes)

You're dead. Your spirit is still in your body but not for long. Count three minutes. In
this phase you need a Restore Life or Greater Restore Life spell to get back up. All active spells
on your character expire unless the spell text states otherwise. Once three minutes have
transpired, your character dissipates and can go attempt to resurrect (wear a white headband).
Leave all in-game possessions behind. Your spirit can sense danger even when your character
cannot. Whom you choose to resurrect you can be an out of game decision. If your buddy
murdered you in your sleep your character won‟t remember that but your spirit won‟t ask him to
resurrect you.
10
Resurrection
To resurrect put on a white head band because you cannot fully interact with the game. It is
time to go haunting. You may go up to players and try to get resurrected by telling them that
they sense your character's spirit. If they know you in-game they will recognize your spirit. You
must seek resurrection. You cannot use your haunt to actively seek ingame/plot info. If you
cannot or wish not for a player character to resurrect your character, you can seek plot to assist
you in this endeavor. You cannot communicate while haunting in any way how you died unless
you have already resolved the curse chance and/or table. When you resurrect there is a
chance your character will be cursed. See Resurrection Ritual for details.
There are some spells and skills that will/may put you into phase three if you get hit by them.
The main spell that does that is Release Spirit. Another way to get to stage three fast is to be
killing blowed. Killing blow is a three count action done while holding a weapon touching the
targets torso and counting “killing blow one, killing blow two, killing blow three, carrier type”
Life and Resurrection
All characters start with ten lives. The maximum number of lives on a sheet is ten. If you run
out of lives during an event your character has permanently died. You may get lives put back
onto your character sheet between events by spending bennies. See the Bennies section for
these rules.
At Zero Hit Points

If a character is dropped to exactly zero health that character is unconscious and will wake up at
one health after five minutes have passed. If a character in this stage is awakened by a spell,
appropriate affect, or shaken awake, the character wakes up at that point with one health.
Shaking awake takes one minute uninterrupted.
Permanent Death
When one of your characters fails to resurrect, another character may go on the books in the
following way. Take that characters total build points (including that game day) and subtract
one hundred from it. Split that result in half then add one hundred for a replacement character
total build. Also remember you can have blank characters on the books as backups and/or to
play. Those can also be built up with bennies or by dedicating build for them when npcing.
11
Bennies
Bennies are given to players for helping out the game and even just for playing. It‟s our way of
saying thanks. Bennies earned during an event do not go into effect until after the event. At a
new player‟s first pc event, 15 bennies are put on sheet at check in.
You may qualify for multiple gains during an event.

13
The Skill System
Some skills you may do constantly, other skills you can do once per purchase. Once per
purchase skills are indicated in the text. At the beginning of an event a character's skills and/or
abilities are considered fresh or reset and all of them can be used. There may be some
exceptions to this. Such as production skills that a character used and turned in the production
request for tags to logistics before the event. There are certain times when your skills and/or
abilities refresh/reset. These times as well as a few other things are covered in Game Periods.
Locked in: Any skill that costs more than one build point may be locked in. To be
locked in you must pay at least one build point upfront. Once locked in you may use that skill
but all earned build goes to pay for that skill until it is paid for in full. A character may only have
one skill locked in at a time, the skill system will determine what things your character can do in
the game. Characters use build points to buy skills and abilities. Some skills are able to be
done consistently like using a weapon. Other skills are per use per purchase. Once you use a
per use skill you cannot use it again until the next time your character is refreshed.
Game Periods
Main Refresh Every time the clock hits 8am or All magic items, skills and
8pm. abilities reset. Does not affect
current health and/or injuries.
Does not affect indefinite or until
used spells.
Encounter Generally starts when fighting Generally ends when the fighting
begins or a plot person states an is over. Any player can ask if
encounter has started. Used there is any reason for this
because of spell effects/skills that encounter to continue. Plot may
last for an encounter. call an end to the encounter
during fighting or whenever they
deem necessary.
Plot Refresh Called when plot team wills it. Resets just as the Main Refresh.
Maybe it is a surge of adrenaline,
a wave of magic power, or the
will of the Gods
Note: Sometimes plot may decide to end an encounter but allow certain spells that have
duration of encounter to continue. Also, plot may call encounter length spells to end before the
encounter does. The winds of magic can be fickle.
14
Level and Build
The game uses a level and build system. A new character begins with 100 build points.
Each time your character reaches another increment of 50, you will go up in level, which
increases the character‟s health. A player may have up to five (5) characters on the books in the
game, but may only play one character per event.
Each individual player‟s characters may not directly interact with one another. When
attending an event you get build for the character you are playing. If you npc the whole event,
you pick which one of your characters get the build. You gain build per event day you attend
based upon the following chart.
Level of Character receiving build. Build earned per game day.

Free Skills Upon Level Up

Starting at first level and each time you gain a level after that, you may have one of the following
skills for free. Prerequisites still apply.
● Crafting Skill
● General Lore
● Production, same production types stack whether obtained for free and/or bought.
● Tracking
16
New Character Starting Equipment
A new character starts with two gold, three potions of Heal Wounds first level (20), tags for phys
reps that they have and their character can use such as weapons and armor, and an
appropriate spellbook tag (must be phys repped) if they can cast spells. Your character also
gets language (Common) for free and 1 general lore of their race for free (See General Skills).
New characters can rewrite their class and/or race before their fifth game day. Whatever you
start your fifth game day as is permanent barring in-game effects.
Item Tags
All tags including starting equipment, production, weapons, armor, and magic items have a 3
year expiration date. If an item is modified, an average will be taken of the remaining time left
before it expires and the new 3 year period.
o Example: If you have a weapon with 24 months left before it expires and you have
the Magic Weapon + 1 ritual performed on it, the new expiration would be 30 months.
Certain items or items with in-game significance may have their expiration extended by
plot, this may require essence to do so.

Race Descriptions
Please note that some races get better perks than others. Racial bonuses are a reflection
of the race as it has appeared in fantasy as well as makeup requirements. You must
have the required makeup and/or physical reps for your race.
Darkling: A winged race of fey from the under realm with dark skin and pointy ears. The result
of breeding between Fey and Deratha.
Deratha: These cave dwelling elves do not appear that dissimilar to their surface dwelling kin,
except for the tone of their skin, which has a far darker tone.
Dragoren: Somehow descended from dragons, these folk are clearly distinguished by the way
their dragon like features; Large patches of scaly skin, some may even have wings, a tail, or
dermal spikes.
Dwarves: A stout, hardy race who take great pride in their facial hair and it‟s upkeep. Male
dwarves have long beards, younger dwarves and even women will have at least some amount
of hair on their chins.
Elves: Vary greatly in skin color and body type, but will always be clearly known by the pointed
shape of their ears.
Fey: Magic touched humanoids, frequently believed to have been elves at one time due to the
points of their ears. They can also be distinguished by their wings and in many cases, by their
favor tattoos.
Folk: Folk often have heavy sideburns and eyebrows that may join entirely together or travel
upward into their hairlines. The backs of their hands often have more hair than that of the other
races.
19
Human: Varied greatly in appearance and style.
Orkar: Seemingly descended from mixed relations between Orcs and other humanoid races,
the half-orc is clearly identified by their skin, which is always a notable shade of green and their
pointy ears.
Satyr: A wild-natured race with long ears, horns, various amounts of facial hair, and tails..
Scarred: Most say they are descended from humans who made deals with foul powers. They
have horns, long ears, and strange marks on their skin from their birth that sometimes change
with age or an important life event. Skin tones vary, but most often they are seen in shades of
red or purple.
Wildling: This is actually a wide variety of humanoids that have various features resembling
creatures of nature. They take on facial traits, tails, sometimes even ears and horns/antlers of
the creature.
20
Classes
There are six classes in the system to choose from with varying strengths and

Crafting Skill: This is a skill that covers a wide range of professional skills not covered under
the Production Skills found later in this book. Each time you obtain a crafting skill pick a
professional skill not found under Production Skills. Your character is skilled in your choice.
Examples: Farmer, Mason, Sailor, and Woodcutter. Every Crafting Skill a character has earns
him two gold per game day that is received when you check-in to game. Two purchases of the
same skill equals makes master level in ability, three equals grandmaster.
Feat of strength: Per use and/or active skill. May try to kick in a door, break a chain, or other
physical action. Success is at plot discretion. Characters with two or more feats of strengths
should be able to knock open non reinforced doors or other similar strength feats without
blowing a per use of it.
24
May also be called during a battle to resist power attacks made by creatures of great
strength. Normally a power attack takes effect even if it is blocked by a weapon or shield.
Calling “Feat of Strength” will allow you to block power attacks for the duration of the encounter.
In the same to block power attacks for the duration of an encounter you may use four to block
massive attacks for the duration of an encounter. If you have used one to block power during
that encounter and wish to add three more during the encounter because you now wish to be
able to block massive attacks you may do so.
You may also blow a feat of strength to add one point of damage to melee and/or thrown
weapon attacks for the duration of the encounter. For every two feats of strength a character
has bought he may add plus one damage to all melee and thrown weapons he uses. Note that
in this case he cannot use one of the two to “use” to increase damage for the encounter.
However he may use one to resist power attacks for the encounter without decreasing his plus
one to weapon attacks. Purchase example: Warrior buys first at five points, second at ten
points, third at 15 points, and fourth for twenty points for a total of fifty points spent.
General Lore: Please note, this does not include Medical or Herbal lore. Each time your
character obtains this skill pick a subject. Your character is knowledgeable in that subject and
may ask plot for additional information and or clues during games. Examples: Creature (pick a
type from Monsters of the Realms book), Magic Theory, Outdoor Survival, Military Tactics,
Siege Warfare, Military Recruit Training, Logistics, Religion, Other Planes of Existence, Magic
Artifacts, Realm History, etc. Two purchases of the same skill equals master level in
knowledge. Three equals grandmaster. Your start with 1 point in the racial lore of your
character‟s race.
Note: Every General Lore Skill a character has earns him two gold per game day that is
received when you check-in to game.
Herbal Lore: Your character knows basic herbology and their potential medical, alchemical,
and poison applications. This skill provides gold and knowledge just as a General Lore skill.
Language: Each character gets one language (Common) at creation for free and depending on
their race they may get another for free. See Racial Abilities table. The basic language that
most races know is common. To purchase another language you must have plot approval.
Some languages are harder to find a teacher for than others. Unless indicated otherwise your
character is considered to be speaking common. If using another language please refer to it as
necessary. Example: In (x) followed by the sentence and/or paragraph.

Medical Lore: Your character knows basic medical knowledge. You may ask another
character‟s condition by touching them with a packet and stating “Medical lore, beginning
examination. A conscious character (not including first phase of death count) may deny the
examination.
The examiner may ask the following questions:
o Have you been poisoned?
o What phase of death count are you in?
o Are you dead?
o Which status effects are you under?
The answers to these questions are “out of game.” Anyone within five feet may realize an
examination or first aid is taking place if they are paying attention. You may also perform first
aid to stabilize a character that is in the first or second phase of death count if you have a
medicine bag. This is a one minute action that if interrupted must be started over. At the
beginning of first aid call “Beginning first aid.” At the end of the minute call “First aid complete.”
The character treated is now unconscious at zero health and will awake after five minutes at
one health. If first aid is interrupted subsequent first aid must begin the one minute count again.
While a character is being first aided they may pause their current death phase count. If the first
aid is interrupted before completion then resume death phase count. Undead may not be first
aided. This skill provides gold and knowledge just as a General Lore skill.
26
Read and Write: Allows your character to read and write any language they have skills in.
Toughness: Ten additional points of base health for your character per purchase.
Tracker: This skill builds in level per purchase. The more purchases/levels of it you have the
higher your chance of success. It allows you to attempt tracking of non player characters. You
may attempt to track player characters if the pc‟s allow it. Roll 1d10, add your tracking levels,
apply table modifiers. If you get a modified five or better you succeed. Each level of tracking
gets you one gold per game day.
A pc being tracked may counter track which adds their tracking number to the difficulty number.
A player going somewhere should declare they are counter tracking. Counter Tracking cannot
be used if you‟re rushing.

(physical)- Tier Three armor, feat of
strength
Please note: Armor does not work against Combat or Stealth maneuvers, nor spells. Exception
to this is head protection; Head protection gives you one resist verse a knockout maneuver per
game refresh
Armor Damage Reduction (DR): Each tier of armor gives a Damage Reduction verse weapon
damage calls. If your DR is equal to or greater than the damage called, you take a minimum
damage of one point.
Example: Your character has a DR of two. You get hit by a weapon damage call
of three. You would only take one point of damage from the attack.
Call: If you are only taking 1 point of damage from attack, call “Minimize”.
Armor verse Carrier attacks: Some weapon attacks in the game may include special effects,
this includes poisons. If there is a damage call with the carrier attack and it does not exceed
your DR then you do not suffer the carrier effect but still the minimum damage of one. If the
carrier attack has no damage call then you take the effect regardless of DR.
29
Costume Bonus: If your overall costume looks good you get a free DR of one. This does not
apply to your dex and/or physical armor max. Still applies to the max of ten. This is a three
marshal judgement call.
Some of the things that will discredit this bonus:
-Shirts with logos on them.
-Bluejeans
-Bluejean shorts
-colored tennis shoes
-ballcap
MIXING ARMOR TYPES

All tiers of dex armor stack with all types of physical armor but you can only have DR of three
between the two types of armor. Bonuses from paths, spells and/or physical armor
enhancements do not count toward the limit of three. Armor enhancements from paths,
spells, and/or physical armor enhancements cannot give you a DR above ten.
30
Armor Coverage
The following rules are used to represent the Light, Medium, and Heavy armor. Each suit
requires a different amount of armor to represent it in-game. To rep the armor you need the
minimum number of locations covered listed in the table below.
Armor Type Minimum Coverage Required
Light 4
Medium 6
Heavy 8
Area covered by armor and example Value toward coverage

Head, helm, or coif 1
Chest, chest plate 3
Back, Back plate 1
Each shoulder, pauldron 1
Each upper arm, rerebrace 1
Each lower arm, bracer 1

Each upper leg, tasset 1
Each lower leg, grieve 1
Note: Please use some common sense. A mere three inch leather bracelet wouldn‟t count as
lower arm coverage and/or bracer. Also real chain, plate, and leather on at least two points
worth of covered area(s) gets you one bonus point toward coverage. See below. Max bonus
points toward coverage cannot exceed two. You cannot have multiple suits of armor on to
increase your DR
 Real Leather is 4.8mm or 12 oz.

 Real Chain is made of metal such as steel rings and you cannot fit a #2 pencil through it.
Aluminum does not count.
 Real Plate is made of metal such as steel. Aluminum does not count.

General weapon & shield rules: You must have skill with a shield to use it. If you don‟t have
skill with a shield and use it to block you take the damage instead of blocking it. If you use a
melee weapon that you do not have skill in that weapon‟s base damage for you is one. Weapon
damage bonus and back attack bonus do not apply if you do not have skill with the weapon.
Magic and Feats of strength bonuses do not apply if you do not have skill with the weapon. You
cannot use a non melee weapon that you do not have skill in. Swings must be from the elbow.
No machine gunning and/or swinging from the wrist. No closing within generally less than an
arm's reach of an opponent. You may not use a shield to strike an opponent
Game Damage Calls: When attacking with a weapon, the call is damage number followed by
damage type. The basic damage type in the game is normal call example “Five normal”.
Attacks from Behind/Surprise Attack: When you catch an opponent from behind and/or they
cannot see the attack coming they may not use the skills dodge, evade, feint, parry, riposte, or
channel parry, to defend against it. Physical armor may be used to defend against surprise
attack if they are not a maneuver.
Melee Martial Weapon: Can use a melee martial weapon chosen at time of purchase to attack
and block with.
Melee Simple Weapon: Can use a melee simple weapon chosen at time of purchase to attack
and block with.
Thrown Weapon: Can use type chosen at time of purchase to attack with. It must be thrown.
It cannot be used in melee.
Thrown Poison: Your character can now use thrown poisons. See Herbalism under
production skills. Minus one cost per lvl of Herbalism your character has. Subsequent added
lvls of Herbalism will grant you one build back up to a max of what it cost you to pay for it. This
is phys-repped by spell packets, thrown poison spell packets must be orange.
Missile Weapon: Can use type chosen at time of purchase to attack. It cannot be used in
melee. Use packets to represent arrows or bolts. NO LIVE FIRE BOWS.
Melee Martial Weapon Tight Group: Choose either Melee Martial or Melee Hafted tight
group. Can use any weapon in that group. Previous build spent on weapons in the group may
go toward the tight group purchase or be respent.
Melee Simple Weapon Tight Group: Can use any weapon in that group. Previous build spent
on weapons in the group may go toward the tight group purchase or be respent.
Melee Master: You can use all melee martial and simple weapons. Previous build spent on
melee weapons or in melee tight group(s) may go toward the Melee Master purchase or be
respent.
36
Rangemaster: You can use all thrown and missile weapons. Previous build spent on these
may be re spent or used toward the purchase of Range Master.
Two Weapons: You can use two one handed melee weapons at the same time. One in each
hand. You must have skill in the weapon(s) to use them. Only weapons of long length or
shorter may be used in this way.
Shields: You may only use one shield at a time. Only a shield in hand may be used to block
with. You may never use a shield to strike with. Your shield cannot be so large that only your
head can be targeted. Remember head is an illegal target.
Weapon Damage Plus: These skills are bought per hand. Example the first time a warrior
bought plus one in right hand it would cost four. If he then bought a left hand plus one it would
cost four as well. Damage plus adds to your weapon damage calls with any weapon you are
using in that hand. For example, if a character had plus two in right hand and plus one in his left
hand and was using two weapon skill he would swing the weapon used in left hand at plus one
and plus two in the right. If the same character was using a single weapon in both hands he
would add the pluses together since the weapon is in both hands for a plus three to his damage
call. Bows and crossbows are considered two handed weapons. Thus weapon damage plus in
both hands apply to the damage dealt.
Back attack plus: These skills are bought per hand, they apply to each individual attack from
behind done with a weapon you have skill in. Back Attack plus(s) are combined with normal
weapon swing damage and any damage plus. To qualify from behind the attacker must be able
to see both of the target's shoulder blades when the attack starts and ends. Any attack from
behind cannot be stopped by the skills parry, riposte, dodge, or evade.

● A player cannot have a packet in the same hand as a weapon or shield and cast with
that hand.
Range
● Touchcast
○ to hold a packet in your hand and touch a target with it.
○ Do not touch cast opponents during combat.
○ Any player touch cast upon can call resist without having the skill to do so. This
is mainly to keep combat safe.
● Thrown
○ You can deliver/attack with the spell by throwing it at target.
Incant
What you must say when using a spell. You have to incant correctly or the spell fails.
However little things like adding the word “you” in the incant or saying “a” instead of “an”
or vice versa is ok. However you must enunciate clearly. You may create your own
incant(s) for your spells but the following must be meet:
● Incant must be before spell name and numeric value if applicable.
● Verbal before spell name must contain at least four syllables unless it is a spell with a
numeric value at the end in which case it must have three syllables.
● Incant created must be approved by Rules Committee.
○ Incants in bad taste or comedic will not be approved.
● Existing incants in this rule book may be freely switched around for spells without
approval.
○ The only exception to this is Teleport. The Teleport incant is meant to be long
and cumbersome so it is not too easily an escape.
45
Durations
● Instant
○ The spell instantly takes effect.
● Until Used
○ Until the effect of the spell is called.
● Encounter
○ Until the encounter is over
● Indefinite
○ Usually spells that have a status effect that need cured. Some of these say “until
cured” as the duration.
● 5 minutes
○ Usually spells that put a character out of action but not dead have this time limit.
 5 seconds
 Stun effects. You can‟t use skills while stunned
Spell Dismissal
A caster can dismiss any spell they have cast that has a duration of encounter or five
minutes. This is an audible and visual effect.
Caster calls:
● “I dismiss my spell (spell name)”
○ Must be within audible range of the target. .
Stacking Spells of the same Type

If a character is under one spell effect and a second spell of the same type hits the
target, the second spell starts the duration over. There is an exception in the case of a target
deciding to use a protective against the spell.
Easy Ways to Remember Durations

● Damage and healing is instant
● A incapacitated character cannot do anything, not even drink a potion. 5 minutes
● Status effects like cripple limb need cured so they are indefinite
● If you get a protective it last until you use it.
● If you go into dead phase of death count all magic spells cast upon you, both good and
bad are off of you. Unless the spell states otherwise in its description.
46
Psionics and Elemental Powers
For simplicity reasons spells, psionics, and elemental powers are all considered magic .
Examples:
● Detect Magic spell would also detect a psionic or elemental item.
● Another example is Spell Ward would also protect from psionics and elemental spells.
Battle of Wills (1d6)

A very few spells involve a battle of wills between caster and the target. This is resolved
by each participant rolling one six sided die and adding their character level to the roll.
Character‟s that have Domination or Psionic school as their primary school of magic get to add
one more to their die roll. The higher adjusted roll wins. The winner is best out of three.
The presiding marshal may adjust in pc favor for good roleplay as long as the battle of
wills is pc vs npc.
Essence
Some of the magics in the game are powered by essence. Essence is rumored to come in
other forms, but is primarily known in gem form. When essence Is used to power a spell it is
consumed in the process. Used essence must be turned into plot.
47
Building a Spell Column
When you first purchase a first level spell you must pick a primary school of magic to
cast spells from. The primary school dictates what spells you are able to cast and what bolt
spells you may purchase. If your character starts with a first level spell upon creation
plot/logistics will give you a spell book tag. Otherwise you will have to acquire a spellbook on
your own.
A level one spell allows you to cast a level one spell from your spellbook. Each
subsequent level allows you to cast a spell of that level from your spellbook. To acquire more
spells you must build your spells up from level one to level five by purchasing in sequential
order. You cannot buy another level one spell in your school until you have a full column of five.
When you have one full column level one thru five you can start another column and so on and
so forth.
When you qualify for high magic spells and wish to purchase them you may buy up to
one for every fifth level spell you have.

Sorcerer 12 27 21 15 24 15 Archmage & 8 Level 5 spells
Archmage- Do not have to memorize your spells. What many call cast on the fly.
Blood Magic: Your character may now spend health instead of spell slots to cast spells. The
cost is ten times the level of the spell. May be used for high magic as well at a cost of sixty.
May use blood to replace essence costs. Blood that can be used for rituals is not common. A
character with Blood Magic may use detect magic spell on blood they can see to determine if
blood is useable. One blood “essence” is equivalent to 25 health. See plot for more details. To
cast a spell or ritual with Blood Magic replace the verbal before the spell or ritual name with
“Blood magic.”
Create Focus/Infuse Essence-. This skill can be used to do two different things but not more
than one at a time. This is not a per use skill.
o Create Focus: Five minutes of concentration to create. A character must have a spell
book on them when using this skill. The focus allows use of the spells from the spell
book when the focus is present but the spell book is not. Creating a focus costs two
essence. .The focus has 2 resists being destroyed upon creation. A focus must be able
to be held in one hand. Often gems are used for this. This is equivalent to casting a
ritual. Get a tag from plot/logistics.
o Infuse Essence: Five minutes of concentration to create. A character infuses an item

touched with essence the character has on their person and/or essence within a circle
about them. This is equivalent to casting a ritual. The item has two resists verses being
50
destroyed. The item must be able to be carried in one hand and may not be a weapon
or shield. The item is charged with essence that may be drawn on from a character that
possess it. It costs two essence to first create this item. Example the character had two
hundred essence in the circle that was used to charge the item. The item now has 198
essence to draw on. Not 200 because 2 was needed to create it. Get a tag from
plot/logistics. Use the tag to keep track of essence used. Make sure you turn in the
essence used to create it. The item may be further charged by use of this skill without
paying the initial two essence.
Create Spellbook- Fifteen minutes of concentration to create. Three essence plus one per
ten pages in the book. The book has 10 resists verse being destroyed upon creation.. Each
spell and/or ritual in a spell book requires one page. If you have a source to copy from during
creation the new book may contain the spells and/or rituals from that source. To later copy a
spell into a book requires the skill read magic and a source to copy from. If you copy spells
onto a non spellbook they cannot be used as a focus to cast spells from. The spellbook needs
to be reped by a blank page book so tags can be placed inside. Get a tag from plot/logistics.
Expand Attunement- Allows one more magic item to be attuned to you per purchase. See
Magic Item Rules.
Focused- Can cast non ritual spells while taking damage.
High Magic Spell- Each purchase allows you to cast one high level spell from schools of magic
you have access to. Once you qualify for high magic you may buy one per fifth level spell that
you have. See building a spell column.
Read Magic- You can read and write in the universal language of magic. Magic has its own
written language but it is spoken in the common tongue. The basic skill needed to use magic.
Also allows you to use magic scrolls.
Ritual Caster- You may now cast rituals in your school(s).
Ritual Master- You may also converse and look around while maintaining concentration.
Sorcerer - You do not have to full incant most spells. Exceptions are rituals and all spells in
the Guards and Wards sphere.
You may replace incant with the following:
● “Magic spell name.”
● Remember to add any appropriate number at the end as well.
● You can combine this with Direct Spell and/or Empower Spell.

Different schools of magic give you access to different bolt types. Pre Requirement is one first
level spells and type allowed is based on primary school of magic and other school(s) of magic
you have accessed. Bolt proficiencies are bonuses to damage for each Bolt Skill you have
purchased. The proficiency bonus applies to all of your bolt skills. If you had Bolt Proficiency
plus one every Bolt Skill you have the skill in increases its base damage by one. You can buy
increases. See Schools of Magic for further information on bolt type allowed. The following
explains how they are used and what they do.
Bolts are at will packet delivered spell attacks. Caster must have a spellbook or focus on them
to use. Each Level of a bolt does that amount of damage. Bolts like other spells go directly to
health if they hit and no defense is called. Armor and agility armor does not stop spells. Some
bolt types do double damage to those who have the right creature type. It is always the target
whom needs to take into account if it takes double damage from a spell or other affect. The bolt
number will remain the same regardless of the target. Regardless of bolt type it does damage.
It does not heal. Bolts are treated as spells for defense purposes. Bolts can be adjusted by
skills such as empower and direct.
If a character has a bolt skill they may deliver a killing blow type magic and/or bolt type by
holding a packet to their target.
Dark Bolt- Double damage to creatures with type Light and/or Nature. Damage type is Magic
and Darkness.
Call example:
● “Dark bolt five.”
Elemental Bolt- Double damage to creatures with opposite element type. Damage type is
Magic and the element used.

Ritual Magic
To cast a ritual requires you have access to appropriate school and a spell slot available
to use. Rituals vary in level from one thru five. Just use a spell slot from your column that
matches or is higher than the ritual level to cast it. You can even use a high magic spell to cast
a ritual if you wish. Each ritual will also have an essence cost to cast it. If you do not have the
essence cost the ritual fails. A marshal is required for ritual casting. Rituals that affect a
character are permanent and/or until used. This is an exception of the rule magic effects go
away upon death. I would also note here that though there are rules for making magic items
characters may quest for them in-game. You may even find something that cannot be made by
the normal rules.
Casting
Have a circle large enough to fit the caster and any targets wholly within. This can be drawn in
the dirt, chalk on the floor, or some other phys rep.
1. May not use Sorcerer skill for rituals.
2. Must be cast in a circle drawn or physreped in some way.
3. Have the ritual inside the circle and in a position where you can read it from.
4. Caster and target must be in the circle of power at the start of the ritual.
5. Caster and target must remain within the circle of power for the duration of the ritual.
6. To begin a caster touches the floor, himself, or the target with a packet. Announces in
normal tone “Begin ritual (X).” “X” being the ritual being cast, followed by the incant for
the ritual if there is one.
7. At the end of the ritual casting time whoever is keeping the time announces “Ritual
Complete.”
8. Only one ritual may be cast within a circle at a time.
9. All essence used for the casting must be within the circle and visible for the duration.
10. If caster takes damage while casting he is interrupted and the ritual is a failure.
102
11. Regardless of success or failure the essence is used and dissipates.
12. If any of these rules are broken and/or violated the ritual is a failure.
13. Any exceptions to these rules will be listed in the ritual description.
14. All rituals must be marshaled.
15. Circle must be at least five foot in diameter.
During the casting the caster must maintain concentration. He cannot converse with
others and must role play casting the ritual, unless otherwise permitted by a skill such as
Focused. If he is hit by an attack, regardless if it did bodily harm or a defense was called by
caster than the concentration is interrupted and the ritual fails. Each character inside the ritual
table must roll d100 and check result on the ritual fail table.
Items enchanted can only have five effects from rituals cast upon them. Each ritual will state
how many effects it counts as in the description.

Attuned: To use or activate a magic item that has resists or activate spell effects it must be
attuned to a character and on a character's person. Characters may have up to five magic items
attuned to them. Passive magic items like weapons, shields, and armor that have no Activation
or Resists to per use skills and/or abilities, do not have to be attuned. They can increase this
number by purchasing Expand Attunement in the magic skills section. This does not mean it has
to be attuned to your character to be used by you. It must be attuned to a character. For
example, your downed buddy has an item that can be used to activate a healing spell and you
know about it. You may reach over and touch a packet to the item and say the activation
phrase. You may not touch an enemy in combat to activate an item. It is a three count action to
attune or unattune an item. Magic items can be activated in the first phase of the death count.

Masterwork Weapon- +1 Damage, this may be done up to two times per weapon. The second
time will cost 80. So a +2 would equal 120 production points total.
Render- Weapon or armor suit gains 10 more resists verse being destroyed. Weapon or armor
must already have ten resists to have this done. An item may only have one render on it.
Enhance Armor- Grants a “suit” of armor one more point of damage reduction. Cannot have
more than one on a suit.
Silvering a Weapon- Changes the damage type from normal to silver.
128
Trap Making
If a trap goes off it puts out an effect that strikes every target in a five foot radius. A time
out may be called to resolve the effect of a trap going off.
A trap must be represented by a box at least the size of a shoe box. A buzzer or mouse
trap sounding/going off represents a trap going off. Regardless if a noise is made an armed
trap goes off if it is moved more than five feet. If someone without the skill Traps attempts to
arm or disarm a trap it goes off. If someone with the skill accidentally sets off the trigger noise
while the trigger is attached to the trap it goes off.
Explosive Traps:
If there is a wall fully between an explosive trap and a target within the radius the target takes
no effects. If there is partial cover like a table between a target and an explosive trap effects
may be halved. An explosive trap is destroyed when it blows up.
● Force Armor negates an explosive trap to protected character.
● One and only one Dodge may be used to reduce effects in half to user.
● One and only one Roll With It may be used to reduce effects in half to user.
● A Dodge and Roll With It may be combined to negate the effect.
● Evade negates effects to user.
● Destruction points are applied to armor first, then shield, then weapon, etc.
○ Example: 2 points of destruction would destroy a suit of physical armor that has
no strengthening.
● Armor DR applies.

Forward
The purpose of the expanded lore list is to help guide players in their character’s
selection of lore skills. If you have an idea for a Lore Skill that is not listed here or under
general skills in the core rule book, ask a plot member about it.
Each time your character obtains the General Lore skill, pick a subject. Your character is

Other Planes of Existence, Magic Artifacts, Realm History, etc. Two purchases of the same skill
equals master level in knowledge. Three equals grandmaster.
Note: Every General Lore Skill a character has earns him two gold per game day, this is
received when you check-in to game. You start with 1 free racial lore of your character‟s race.
NOTE: For every even level/tier of a character path, a player may choose a lore skill that
