style="text-align: left;">Starting Point</h4><p>Spell: A specific, codified form of magic, somewhat limiting a caster's flexibility but maximizing speed and allowing for much more dramatic effects. Most spells can appear differently when cast, depending on the caster's personality, or can be modified in specific ways while casting.</p><p>Mana: The arcane mental energy that is infused into a spell to 'prepare' it in the caster's mind. Only prepared spells can be cast. Most casters also have a limit of mana they can hold at any given time.</p><p>Preparing spells: A caster can prepare spells during an hour long ritual, which looks different depending on the individual. During this time, they can prepare any spell they know, so long as they have the mana for it. Additional mana can be invested to enhance the spell, and prepared spells can be discarded during this time to regain their mana. Prepared spells do however count against a caster's maximum mana, but are ready to be cast. When cast, a spell is no longer prepared, and the mana is expended.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img _ngcontent-ggr-c1="" alt="Cliffside Ritual" class="img img-responsive block-center img-fit" height="294" src="https://cdna.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/002/276/184/large/eric-geusz-magic-v2.jpg?1459635607" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="400" /></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Cliffside Ritual by <a href="https://www.artstation.com/spacegooose" target="_blank">space gooose</a><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><p style="text-align: center;"></p><h4 style="text-align: left;">Casting</h4><p>Turning the idea into a reality. During the casting time, a caster may use either skill casting to alter the spell. This incurs risks, as a low skill roll can weaken their spell. They can also use a class ability instead. Skills usually gain a bonus depending on which kind of arcane focus they are cast through.</p><p>Magic Skills</p><p>Gesture: complex motions that form the spell more rapidly in reality. Can increase (or decrease!) a spell's casting speed.</p><p>Incantation: ethereal words, spoken to draw a spell deeper into reality. Can increase (or decrease!) a spell's range.</p><p>Sigil: the linguistic form of a spell, focused upon to draw it more sharply into reality. Can increase (or decrease!) a spell's magnitude as specified in the description.</p><h4 style="text-align: left;">Arcane Focus</h4><p>A tool which allows mortals to cast spells, by giving the magic a soulless conduit into reality. The arcane focus can be any non-living item you can lift. It takes a week of dedicated rituals to attune a new arcane focus. Many items will give bonuses if attuned and used as a focus. These take one hand to hold and use, unless otherwise noted.</p><p> </p><p>Magic wand: the brightened end of this otherwise plain rod can grant +1 to Sigil or Gesture rolls, depending on how it is used.</p><p>Silver bell: this fine bell's unearthly toll can grant +1 to Gesture or Incantation rolls, depending on how it is used.</p><p>Tome of magic: this instructive book can grant +1 to Incantation or Sigil rolls, depending on how it is used.</p><p><br /></p><p>Runic sword: this blade has runes etched into the blade, which can grant +1 to Sigil rolls, but incurs -1 to Gesture rolls made using it.</p><p>Resonant shield: this shield creates a soft echo, which can grant +1 to Incantation rolls, but incurs -1 to Sigil rolls made using it.</p><p>Singing Poleaxe: this two handed weapon emits a hum in perfect rhythm, granting +1 to Gesture rolls, but incurring -1 to Incantation rolls made using it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Crystal ball: this misty orb of semiprecious stone can grant +2 to Gesture or Sigil rolls, depending on how it is used.</p><h4 style="text-align: left;">Classes</h4><p>There are four primary spellcasting traditions. Those of the wizard, druid, bard, and sorceress.</p><p> </p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Wizard</h3><p>Arcane Dreams: recover mana through arcane dreams, which require twelve hours of comfortable sleep.</p><p>Chromatic Mana: your mana pool is greatened, but split between six colors.. You can only prepare spells that you have enough mana of the correct colors. (white, blue, red, green, yellow, purple)</p><p>Spell Study: if you have access to a spell in written form, you can learn it with a week of dedicated study. With a teacher you can understand, you can learn the spell from two days of dedicated teaching.</p><p>Dual Casting: instead of using skill casting to modify a spell, you can choose two skills instead, with each roll being much harder.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img _ngcontent-lmi-c1="" alt="Ritual" class="img img-responsive block-center img-fit" height="259" src="https://cdnb.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/010/212/519/large/irina-nordsol-kuzmina-ritual-nordsol.jpg?1523206796" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="400" /></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Ritual by <a href="https://www.artstation.com/nordsol" target="_blank">Irina Nordsol Kuzmina</a><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><p style="text-align: center;"> <br /></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Druid</h3><p>Sacred Groves: recover mana by entering a Sacred Grove, which you can recognize on sight as a point of great natural conflux.</p><p>World Mana: you have a decreased mana pool, but also gain one World Mana. World Mana can be used to prepare any one spell at its base level.</p><p>Spell Communion: each time you commune with a new wilderness and successfully sleep a night unprotected, you learn a randomly selected spell.</p><p>Material Casting: instead of using skill casting, you may sacrifice a material component to boost a spell as you cast it. Material components are always lost upon use, and each spell describes both the type of component, and what may be gained by its sacrifice.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Bard</h3><div style="text-align: left;"><p style="text-align: left;">Enchanting Performances: you may spend all your mana and prepared spells while putting on a public show for a few hours. Roll your performance skill. The higher the roll, the more mana you gain. This class has no mana limit.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Mana Ante: each spell's mana cost is instead a Prepare Penalty for you. You can spend mana to lower the penalty by 1 each (must spend at least 1 mana, and the penalty can never go below 1). Roll 1d6, if you roll higher than the final penalty total, you successfully prepare the spell. If you roll lower, that mana is lost.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Spell Inspiration: you can spend all prepared spells and mana, as well as a week of dedicated practice, to discover one new spell. The more mana spent, the higher the chances of learning a spell. Prepared spells count for 0 mana. Practice with another bard for a large bonus.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Mana Casting: when you cast a spell, instead of using skill casting you may expend mana to boost one of the same parameters. 1 mana per interval, and you may only choose one.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Sorceress</h3><p style="text-align: left;">Mystic Souls: when you cast a prepared spell, all mana that were used to prepare it are immediately regained by you. Your mana pool is however, greatly decreased.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Signature Spell: designate one spell as your signature spell. You will always cast it as if you had invested one extra mana than you spent preparing it. It takes three days of dedicated practice to designate a new signature spell.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Spell Absorption: each time a spell is cast on you, you have a chance to learn it. The more damage you take from a spell, the higher the chance.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Blood Casting: expend your enchanted blood instead of using skill casting, allowing you to increase damage or impact at the cost of your Stamina.</p><p style="text-align: left;"> </p><h4 style="text-align: left;">Spells </h4><h3 style="text-align: left;">Flaming Orb</h3><p style="text-align: left;">Mana cost: 2 red, 1 green.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Casting time: one attack.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Target: visible point within 60 feet.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Effect: a destructive burst deals 3d6 damage to all creatures within 10ft of the target area. Sigil rolls can increase the area of effect by intervals of 5ft.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Material component: crush an ember from a tree that burned naturally, to leave a damaging field behind. The field deals 1d6 rounds to anyone standing in or passing through it, and lasts 3 rounds.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Lightning Bolt</h3><p style="text-align: left;">Mana cost: 2 blue, 1 red.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Casting time: one attack.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Target: a visible creature or metal object within 120 feet.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Effect: a destructive bolt strikes the target, then arcs to another fitting target of your choice within 30 feet of the original target. Deals 3d6 damage to each target hit. Sigil rolls can change the number of fitting targets that the bolt will arc to.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Material component: throw a clump of earth that was struck by lightning to arc the spell to a second fitting target within 20 feet of the <b>first</b>.</p><p style="text-align: left;"> </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img _ngcontent-yav-c1="" alt="Commission - Like A...

Sigil rolls can change the amount of Guard recovered.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Material component: break a lock to restore 1d6 Guard to another fitting target.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Invisibility</h3><p style="text-align: left;">Mana cost: 3 black, 2 white.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Casting time: one encounter.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Target: up to 3 touched creatures.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Effect: renders the targets nigh undetectable for 1 hour. Fast movement such as sprinting, attacking, or receiving an attack will break the shroud. Sigil rolls can increase the duration by 20 minutes each.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Material component: consume a piece of fish meat that you have never once looked upon, to allow targets to become ethereal whenever they hold still.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">Notes: Errant is the working title for my current RPG project. At least, the one I feel comfortable posting about on this blog. It's been a while, but when I thought about it I have a lot to share, so next week look forward to melee combat! Then maybe summoning, which I may have finished... eventually.

These natural traps hunt without limbs or teeth. One of the relatively less deadly but most well known is the Shocherik vine, a plant which lies dormant beneath mild flowers. Coiled tightly in the dirt and ready to spring. The moment a beast steps on the flowers and begins to move away, the vines burst forth and wrap themselves about the unsuspecting prey.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" id="docs-internal-guid-05740453-7fff-e15c-1c16-bfdcbcea6e44" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 31.5pt;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img class="img" height="266" src="https://cdna.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/017/442/980/large/aleks-petruk-plantscave-sm.jpg?1556016203" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="Lost, by Ksanda CreepyCrafts" width="400" /></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Lost, by <a href="https://www.artstation.com/alexandra_petruk" target="_blank">Ksanda CreepyCrafts</a><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><p id="docs-internal-guid-05740453-7fff-e15c-1c16-bfdcbcea6e44" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center; text-indent: 31.5pt;"><br /></p><span style="color: white;"></span><div><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 31.5pt;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">There is a long-standing tradition in Mebirin to cultivate these vines. They are kept in pots, and bred to be mild. These potted vine flowers are used in semi-formalized competitions, put to the challenge of fighting one another. The gardeners are given small dishes of water with which to guide the growth of their vine, and the first pot to spill dirt onto the table or floor loses.</span></span></p><span style="color: white;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 31.5pt;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This is the sport of vine wrestling, a fine tradition and considered a thrilling type of battle in the Mebirin lands. Every five years, the Garden of Might is held. This tournament is not the greatest competition in all the lands, but it’s quite famous in Mebirin, and entrants from anywhere are allowed to compete.</span></span></p><span style="color: white;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 31.5pt;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The victor is given the Golden Seed, which is fated to either feed or destroy the entire land.

Abstracted as 'hit points' it could mean almost anything, but most people tend to read it as 'health' or 'life,' which makes turn-based battles feel like everyone is standing in place, just hacking away at each others abdomens until one of them finally drops. But that's not really how fights work, and it leaves you with what I think is a pretty weak conceptual</span></span><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> and mechanical </span></span><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> foundation to combat.</span></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img alt="This is where I die" class="img" height="300" src="https://cdna.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/020/587/840/large/magnus-fallgren-fatigueas.jpg?1568366417" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="400" /></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Fatigue, by <a href="https://www.artstation.com/m_fallgren" target="_blank">Magnus Fallgren</a></span><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <br /></span></div><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The first change is pretty simple, just call it Guard instead, with successful melee attacks wearing away at your guard until you become vulnerable. Another successful attack beyond that will cause a Wound that leaves the target incapable of combat. It could be anywhere in a wide range of severity, but personally I'd recommend making the player the one who ultimately decides if their character will die. I'm also a big fan of downtime, taking a break to really heal so that the game doesn't feel like an insane rush where an entire world-saving campaign happens in a week or two. To this end I like a week to a month as the healing time for most Wounds.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;">(I also like a week of downtime required for leveling up, but that's probably even more controvertible)</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Characters also have Endurance, which they can spend a turn using to restore their Guard. Endurance would also be what most non-melee threats deplete, since you don't exactly block or parry arrows or a rolling boulder. You could have Endurance recover after a night's sleep, but a full day off makes more sense to me. Most people don't feel fully recovered until they spend a day relaxing, after all.</span></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" class="img" height="400" src="https://cdna.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/007/801/172/large/konstantin-vavilov-21-furious-2.jpg?1508601135" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="392" /></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Day 21: Furious Undead, by <a href="https://www.artstation.com/vakon" target="_blank">Konstantin Vavilov</a></span><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <br /></span></div><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;">There might be a mental analogue to Guard, such as Focus for spellcasters and potentially archers or other ranged attackers, refreshed in a similar way by expending Endurance. To add some extra spice and realism to melee combat, characters can also make a Finishing Strike or Aggressive Attack where you roll a larger damage die, instantly Wounding the target only if it rolls higher than their current Guard. It does nothing if it rolls lower though, and might cost Endurance to attempt.</span><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/06469559475680479912' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/06469559475680479912' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Princess in Yellow</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://wordsforyellow.blogspot.com/2020/12/healing-hit-points.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://wordsforyellow.blogspot.com/2020/12/healing-hit-points.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2020-12-25T14:58:00-08:00'>2:58 PM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://wordsforyellow.blogspot.com/2020/12/healing-hit-points.html#comment-form' onclick=''> 1 comment: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-646223878'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=3438043085719178824&postID=5379948169977815747&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=3438043085719178824&postID=5379948169977815747&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=3438043085719178824&postID=5379948169977815747&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475"); return false;' target='_blank' title='BlogThis!'><span class='share-button-link-text'>BlogThis!</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-twitter' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=3438043085719178824&postID=5379948169977815747&target=twitter' target='_blank' title='Share to X'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to X</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-facebook' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=3438043085719178824&postID=5379948169977815747&target=facebook' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=430,width=640"); return false;' target='_blank' title='Share to Facebook'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to Facebook</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-pinterest' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=3438043085719178824&postID=5379948169977815747&target=pinterest' target='_blank' title='Share to Pinterest'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to Pinterest</span></a> </div> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> <span class='post-labels'> Labels: <a href='http://wordsforyellow.blogspot.com/search/label/combat%20system' rel='tag'>combat system</a>, <a href='http://wordsforyellow.blogspot.com/search/label/Game%20design' rel='tag'>Game design</a>, <a href='http://wordsforyellow.blogspot.com/search/label/hit%20points' rel='tag'>hit points</a>, <a href='http://wordsforyellow.blogspot.com/search/label/mechanics' rel='tag'>mechanics</a>, <a href='http://wordsforyellow.blogspot.com/search/label/notes' rel='tag'>notes</a> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'> <span class='post-location'> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div> <div class="date-outer"> <h2 class='date-header'><span>Tuesday, December 22, 2020</span></h2> <div class="date-posts"> <div class='post-outer'> <div class='post hentry uncustomized-post-template' itemprop='blogPost' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <meta content='3438043085719178824' itemprop='blogId'/> <meta content='2206769447798567835' itemprop='postId'/> <a name='2206769447798567835'></a> <h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'> <a href='http://wordsforyellow.blogspot.com/2020/12/class-questions.html'>Class questions</a> </h3> <div class='post-header'> <div class='post-header-line-1'></div> </div> <div class='post-body entry-content' id='post-body-2206769447798567835' itemprop='description articleBody'> <p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;">There are some good built-in questions that you can ask in D&D to flesh out your character and your story based on the class you've chosen, but the game doesn't actually ask these questions, so they can be easy to ignore.

That's where I got this idea from, and I highly recommend checking out her blog (if you somehow follow this one but not that one). This was fun to make because it's kind of easy to come up with questions but each one creates so much empty space that people could fill out with their characters. I have a lot of trouble writing characters, so I really like seeing stuff like this (again, thanks Cavegirl) because it helps guide things a lot more.

Historically religion has always been a very important in life as well as fantasy, but it seems like a large portion of the gaming community (myself included), are atheistic, so that sense of worship and service to a higher power can be... off-putting. It creates a divide between the player and the average person in the game world, their analogue.<br /></span></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 31.5pt;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Thus I create instead aspirational figures, so that even the most power-gaming edgy anti-theist could start from a point of "oh yeah I want to be cool like that person," and then once the player is engaged with these figures I think it becomes easier for them to shift that engagement toward roleplaying something more spiritual or worshipful. I've been told that D&D also has demi-gods and high priests and what not, but that doesn't really address this rift between the player and the average character in the world, instead making it probably wider by suggesting that we roleplay worshipping something that isn't even a god? It feels strange.</span></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 31.5pt;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Oh hey, <a href="https://coinsandscrolls.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Skerples</a> recently made a few blog posts about saints and gods and all that jazz.
