Character selection for this game will be based on char concept that includes a character background that uses Turakian Age history, background and details.
6th ed. Fantasy HERO game in the published setting of Turakian Age.
Starting 225 total pts., 50 pts matching Complications, 6e1 34 pg.
Characters should be established in their fields and have some kind of Reputation
This game does not exist in an Age of Magic, Age of Demi Gods, Age of Monsters, Age of Gunpowder or an Age of Divine War.
This will be a gritty world where illiteracy, superstition and ignorance are common. Where average folk have not been more than two days walk from where they were born. History is what one learns from your father, legend is what you learn from your father's father, Myth is passed down from your grand sire's father.
XP will be on the slow track and challenge based. At the end of a difficult and long narrative with challenges and RP, bonus XP will be awarded.
Spending XP costs time and resources for training, exploration or access.
Tech, Bows above 1 d6+1 do not exist
Crossbows are 'new' and require High level access,
Corssbows are WF: Unusual Missile Weapon, not WF: Common Missile
Iron weapons are new, available to Nobles only, all other weapons are Bronze.
Def 5 and higher Armor does not exist except for Noble or Royal units.
Weapon smiths are restricted to work only for Nobility.
There are no Magic shops. Magic is rare and restricted to Nobles
We will start in the Tornathian League, in one of the Seven city states, players should have an idea for which City State we have as a center for the campaign
All characters will be raised in Human cultures, No Elves can be PC races, no non Turakian races
Drakine are second class citizens, a PC can be Drakine, however, you will suffer Social Complications
Magic, as is it called by the Commoners, is rare but powerful, Mages are members of Royal or Noble courts, those that can use Magic are found and trained by Wizards of Courts and then after apprenticeship are kept or traded to other courts.
I allow only one Arcane/Magic PC, no Power Frameworks, and I have a few mechanics for magic.
The one PC capable of casting one of the 12 Schools now exists, no others will be permitted.
