Ormgard Character Generation
Introduction
This document lays out the guidelines for creating a character in the Ormgard world. Hopefully
you will have read the player guide previously and so will have some idea of how the world is set
out. This should give you an idea of what type of character to play.
Background and Experience Points (Abbreviated as XP)
Base XP
 Players receive 40 XP to spend on a new character
Background XP
● Players can receive up to 10 XP to spend on a new character from background
● 2XP for a background beyond a few lines or 4-6 XP for a lengthy background with
reasonable description of the character’s history varying depending on quality
● 2 additional XP if the history contains subtle interesting aspects (such as allies, enemies or
unresolved plots)
● 2 additional XP if the background is connected and associated with the background of
another player or players
Costume XP
● Players can receive up to 10 XP to spend on a new character from a thematic costume
● 2- 6XP is rewarded for not borrowing any club kit and having kit that is thematic to both
the character’s race and profession varying on quality.
● 2 additional XP is rewarded for any props that the player provides themselves
(weapons, backpacks, potion bottles, jewelry are all considered props)
● 2 additional XP is rewarded for any props that are exceptional in quality
Base XP, Background XP and Costume XP is all awarded at character creation, this XP does not
carry over to the normal XP pool. When purchasing with creation XP, double the cost of the XP
value of the skill you are purchasing, unless that skill is on your Mandatory list, or your chosen
bundle list.
Please make sure when you create a background that it is in-keeping with the medieval settings
and genre. Do not create a character obviously based on a T.V show with a different setting, or
around any concept that will detract from the feel of the game. Characters such as these will be
refused from being created and removed from the game then the player asked to re-write the
background or create a different character.
Character Slots:
 Players have slots for 2 characters at a time
 XP can only be gained on one character per event
 You may only Gather on one of your characters each indoor
Ongoing Character Progression
Indoors, Outdoors and Downtimes
● Players receive 2 XP for each indoor they attend, on a character they attend with
o If you attend on one character, that character gains the XP, if you attend on both
your characters then you may choose which gets the XP
● Players receive 3 XP for each outdoor they attend, on the character they attend with, or on
any of their character slots if they Monster
● If the weather on an outdoor is sufficiently bad 1 XP will be awarded to all players and
monsters.
● Players who play their characters, indoor or outdoor, may submit downtimes
● Players may submit a downtime for an indoor or/and outdoor their respective character
attended
● Downtimes consist of what a player wishes their character to do between events
● Downtimes do not award XP, but allow a character to progress in day to day activities such
as travelling long distances, making trades, talking to other NPC’s, inspecting plot lines etc.
● Downtimes should be written in the given format of 6 actions with a description of what
each of these actions entails (such as: Action 1: Travel - I travel to the hearth to meet with
an important noble to discuss matters of payment)
● Assuming your character intends to attend the next indoor event, your downtime should
be written within the time period of two weeks, the cut off usually being the Friday before
the next game
● Please see the Downtime Example document for further details on Downtimes
● Downtimes should be sent to the current referees preferred method, usually an email
address (ormgardrefs@gmail.com)
Gathering
 Each of the Gathering Skills allows you to gain in character resources for the game
 You may only Gather on one of your characters each indoor
 You may only Gather once per indoor
 Please see the Gathering Skills (Herb Collecting, Mining, Scavenging, and Income) for
further details and Book 4 for additional information
Choose • Gardian, Dwarf, Grey Elf, Wood Elf, Barbarian,

Race Ratkin, Beastkin, Outlander
Choose • Healer, Warrior, Priest, Rogue, Scholor, Scout,

Profession Shaman, Trader, Wizard
• Background, Equipment,
Mandatories, Secondaries.
Spend XP Remember to double XP costs
for skills that arent on your list.
Breakdown of Character Creation:
 Think of a concept
 Come up with a background for the character within the world
 Select an appropriate race for your concept
 Select an appropriate profession for your concept
o See if you’re a Physical or Magical class, this is important for XP costs
o Physical type classes pay triple cost for Magical Skills
o Magical type classes pay triple cost for Combat Skills
 If you can, gain equipment (armour, props, larp safe weapons etc.) this will garner you
more XP to spend on your character at creation
 See how much XP you have from your equipment, background and add that to your
base XP
 You have 40 Base XP. Up to 10 additional for equipment and up to 10 additional for
background for a maximum of 60
 Look at what Mandatories your class must have to represent them and see what
Secondary’s are available to augment your character.
 Mandatories and Secondary’s are normal cost at character creation, any other skills are
double cost. Once you are done making your character all skills become their normal
listed cost taking into account any restrictions or discounts you character may have.
 Veteran Skills are triple cost for all professions unless stated otherwise

Skill Descriptions
There follows an alphabetical description of every skill in the Dreampedlar system that can be
bought and used in the Ormgard world. Changes have occurred to some of these skills since the
system was created, and it is advised to consult a referee about any questions due to the nature
of a living game. The skills descriptions are updated as frequently as possible.
Combat skills are standard cost for Physical Professions and triple cost for Magical Professions
Magical skills are standard cost for Magical Professions and triple cost for Physical Professions.
Veteran Skills are triple cost except for Professions denoted as a Veteran.
Skills must be bought in ascending order unless denoted by an asterisk (*).
Some skills have pre-requisites that must be bought first in order to be obtained.
Alchemy
This is the craft of making potions and poisons.
 Level 1 – Access to the ability to craft Level 1 Potions and Poisons
Ambidexterity
This is the skill of fighting with a weapon in your off-hand.
 Level 1 will allow you to fight with a one handed weapon using either hand, but will only
allow the use of one weapon at a time.
 Level 2 will allow the use of two weapons at the same time. The primary weapon can be any
one-handed weapon, but the secondary weapon can only be a hand weapon.
 Level 3 will allow any one-handed weapon to be used as the secondary weapon.
The damage of the offhand weapon is one factor less than your skill in that weapon (Minimum:
Singles)
Armour Master
This skill is the representation of mastery of a certain type of armour
 You must have the Relevant Armour Use Skill (e.g. Armour Use 1 for Level 1 Armour Master
ability)
 Has to be Armour that is Physically Represented
 Level 1: Resilient: The first source of damage you take each encounter is negated
 Level 2: Camouflaged: 1/encounter, you may apply the effects from a smoke bomb you possess
without consuming it
 Level 3: Absorbent: Double the duration of any Kits or Oils applied to the Armour
 Level 4: Riveted: The first Through call effect you receive each encounter is ignored, you still
take the associated damage call (singles, doubles etc.) this includes spells that have through
effects inherently such as Bolt spells.
 Level 5: Reinforced: Gain one additional point of armour in each location
Armour Use
This skill represents the use of different types of armour
Players who are wearing a significant amount of a single type of armour, with a small amount of
another type, may be considered to be wearing wholly of one type. For example, if a player is
wearing level 5 armour in all locations except chest, where they are wearing level 4 armour, that
chest armour may be considered to be level 5. This is down to referee discretion.
 Level 1: Furs/Padded Cloth/Light Leather (adds 1 armour pts)
 Level 2: Heavy Leather (adds 2 armour pts)
 Level 3: Studded Leather/Ring Mail (adds 3 armour pts)
 Level 4: Chainmail (adds 4 armour pts)
 Level 5: Platemail (adds 5 armour pts)
Artisan
This craft covers a wide range of products some of which include making paper, bookbinding,
wood craft, sculpting and many other things. Some of the main products artisans can make are
scroll paper and wands.
● Level 1 - Superior Items
● Level 2 - Master Crafted Items, Superior Ornate Items
● Level 3 - Master Crafted Ornate Items
● Reforge: This allows a crafter to alter the properties of an item, by adding additional
materials or changing the items base material. Reforging an item costs half the item's base
material cost, rounded up. If the crafter is changing the base material of an item, such as
changing an Iron Sword to a Mithril Sword, they require the full metal cost to be paid in
addition to the reforging cost
● Reforging does not remove any Enchantments nor do any special materials already in the
item count towards the base cost
Evaluate: You can recognise the quality of items at a quick glance.
Blacksmithing
This craft allows the production of weapons and armour.
 Level 1 - Superior Items
Bladed Weapon
This skill allows the use of a one-handed sword (up to 42 inches) in combat.
 Level 1 – Allows the use of the Singles call on hit
 Level 2 – Allows the use of the Doubles call on hit
 Level 3 – Allows the use of the Triples call on hit
Bleed
This skill allows you to use the additional weapon call Bleed on hit with any weapon.
 When a wound is caused by a weapon using the Bleed call and that wound caused associated
stamina damage (Subdual does not cause stamina damage for example), then that target
starts bleeding.
 30 seconds after being successfully afflicted by Bleed, the target takes a point of
unassociated stamina damage, this continues until the Bleed effect is stopped or the target
dies.
 Any healing to wounds or stamina removes the bleed effect
 Any level of First Aid can diagnose bleeding without any count and staunches it during
diagnosis at touch range or applying bandages (See First Aid)
Body Conditioning
This skill allows you to reduce the duration of movement impairing effects. This skill only effects
movement impairing effects whose base duration is 120s or lower, in the case of conflicting
numbers, always take the lowest duration.
 Level 1 – Reduces duration of effects to 60 secs.
 Level 2 - Reduces duration of effects to 30 secs.
 Level 3 - Reduces duration of effects to 10 secs.
Body Development
Increases your character’s natural hits and stamina.
 Requires your character to have a minimum of 8 stamina (Racial Base + Purchased Stamina
Skill)
 Increases your natural hits by 1 in each location
 Increase your maximum stamina by 4 points
 Increases your character’s death count, see the Stamina skill for additional details
Bow
This skill allows the use of any kind of bow in combat. (Please consult a ref about safe use)
 Bows allow the use of the damage type modification Through call on hit
Channelling
This skill increases a mages maximum Channelling by 1 point
 If you have purchased an amount of Channelling equal to your races Channelling potential
then the cost of this skills increases by 1 point, this increases each time this instance happens.
