Character Advancement
Gameplay will be divided into 2 phases, the Adventuring phase and the Fellowship phase. During the Fellowship phase, character points may be spent to improve your character. Here are the different ways that CPs may be spent:
- To improve any existing known skill or a skill used in the adventure (x1 cost)1,2
- To learn the skill from a suitable trainer (x1 cost)3
- To gain a learnable advantage (Combat Reflexes, Fit/Very Fit, Trained by a Master, etc.) (x1 cost)
- To increase an attribute (x1 cost)
- Social advantages can be raised with a suitable explanation (x1 cost)
Note that skills can generally only be added and/or improved during character creation, by visiting a trainer, or by using/attempting the skill during an adventure (this includes default rolls if a default exists).
----------
1Note: An IQ roll is not required to add a new skill.
2Skills used on the adventure include skills used under stress by the PC.
3Players with Teaching at 12+ may train other PCs or NPCs. Trainers must know a skill at the same level or higher than their students, or have at least as many points in that skill.
Buying spells
Players may be able to purchase spells from some merchants. The cost is (1 + # of prerequisites * 100), and the time needed to learn the spell is (1 + # of prerequisites) hours. The price may be modified by a reaction roll, and the time spent to learn the spell is modified by the PC's level of Magery. The learned spell can be cast at the default level for the spell and can be improved as normal.
Posting
I'm not a big fan of short one-liners. Try to post between one and five paragraphs, and in your posts, describe your reactions, thoughts, and physical actions. Any OOC material should go on a separate line or in a private line to the GM, and all dice roll results and if/then conditional statements should go in a private line to the GM as well.
My expectations: I'd like between one to three solid, well-written posts per week. My output will be tied to your own interest and development. Quality, regular posting will be rewarded when it is time to hand out CPs.
