target="_blank">Seven of Swords - Ride-Waite tarot deck</a></figcaption> </figure> <br /> <b>Combat</b><br> Victory is not achieved by skill (attack bonuses) or luck (high dice rolls). Each combatant takes turns bidding things they are willing to sacrifice to help them achieve victory. Combat ends when one side surrenders, or when they risk their life in pursuit of victory, and fail.<br> <br> <ol> <li>Whoever says "I attack!" first, goes first.</li> <li>They bid what resources they are staking on their victory. They can bid innate <b>qualities</b> or training, relevant <b>equipment</b>, situational <b>advantages</b>, and things they are willing to <b>sacrifice</b>. The initial bid can't be changed after this step.</li> <li>Their opponent must <i>meet or exceed</i> that bid with their own resources (qualities, equipment, advantages, sacrifices). If they don't, can't, or won't, they automatically lose the fight and are at the mercy of their foe. If they vastly exceed the original bid, nothing additional happens.</li> <li>Flip a coin to determine who triumphs right now. <b>Everything the loser bid is now forfeit</b>. Qualities no longer apply in this battle, equipment is damaged or dropped, advantages have been used up, and anything they were willing to sacrifice is in the hands of their opponent. Whatever the case, anything forfeit can no longer be bid in this battle.</li> <li>If a combatant wishes to flee the fight, go to Not Combat.</li> <li>Continue from 2, alternate who bids first each round.</li> </ol> <br> Bids<br> <ul> <li>If you are defending and respond with <i>"I'm willing to die"</i> that will always match whatever bid was thrown at you. If you bid <i>"I'm willing to die"</i> while attacking, it is serious bid, but does not automatically win.</li> <li>You can only bid <i>"I'm willing to cheat"</i> if there are rules of honour in play. Afterwards, you <i>have</i> cheated and kicked sand in their eyes (or whatever), and you can not bid it again.</li> <li>If you have a matching innate quality, it can make a minor situational advantage into a much stronger bid. This doesn't risk the quality</li> <li>If you bid a single piece of armour, or a mild injury, or another tiny scrap, it won't give any benefit at all.</li> <li>If you have a strong reason for wanting to fight, like <i>vengeance</i> or <i>righteousness</i>, good for you. It won't help you on it's own. Are you willing to die in order to accomplish it? Bid that instead</li> <li>If you bid <i>"My blade is poisoned"</i> then you are showing your opponent to scare them, force them into a bad position. Whether you have bid it or not, if you cut them, they are poisoned.</li> <li>Whether the bid is met should be adjudicated by the whole table, figuring out what each resource and advantage is "worth" in that moment. Resolve any confusing wording, and work out what is actually at stake. Once an assessment is made, stick to it for future rounds and battles.</li> </ul> <br> Forfeits<br> <ul> <li>If you forfeit <i>"I've got a sword made of fire"</i> it means you have dropped the sword, at the very least. However, you don't always have to bid the sword in order to use special powers.</li> <li>If you forfeit <i>"I've got a bunch of hirelings surrounding a single opponent"</i> then they are scattered and divided (for now).</li> <li>If you forfeit <i>"I'm fighting a one-armed opponent"</i>, that injury no longer applies for this battle</li> <li>If you forfeit <i>"I'm willing to be injured"</i> you suffer the injury. Your opponent can bid <i>"My opponent is injured"</i> next round, it's usually worth more than your original sacrifice</li> <li>If you forfeit <i>"I'm willing to die"</i> it means your opponent can choose to just chop your head off right now.</li> <li>If you forfeit <i>"I'm a master swordsman"</i> it means your training has been overcome, for this battle at least.</li> <li>If you forfeit <i>"I'm willing to sacrifice my status as a master swordsman"</i>, ouch...</li> </ul> <br> <b>Combat Example</b><br> Fargus and his hirelings, Bargus, Kargus, and Jim, are hidden in the dark by the side of a road. They leap out at a passing traveller, an old man wearing a cloak. They attack! Fargus bids: <i>surprise ambush at night, outnumbered four to one, using the ability of my magic sword to flash confusing beams of light</i>. A very solid bid indeed, the traveller will have to put up quite a lot to match it.<br> <br> The passing traveller flips back his cloak, revealing a jet-black sword, and answers that bid with: <i>"I'm a master swordsman"</i>. Oh shit.<br> <br> The coin is flipped.<br> <br> Heads (Fargus succeeds): The traveller can no longer use his <i>master swordsman</i> trait for the rest of combat, he has been outmanoeuvred. Fargus can't use the <i>ambush</i> advantage, since the attack is no longer a surprise<br> <br> Tails (Fargus fails): The hirelings are scattered, for now, he can no longer bid the magic light beams.<br> <br> <br> <b>Not Combat</b><br> If someone is trying to do something, and someone else wishes to prevent them, bid and flip the same as combat. The Doer bids first. If they win the flip, they achieve it.<br> <br> For everything else, just discuss the situation politely amongst yourselves. Flip a coin if you really need to break a tie. Lots of things that are nearly impossible without tools, training and/or assistance are really easy once you've got them.<br> <br> If you want to personify the mountain being climbed as an opponent, and start bidding back and forth using the combat routine, be my guest. You don't have to though.<br> <br> <br> <b>Character Creation</b><br> Start with a Three Word Sword, two random things, one nice thing of your choice, and no food. <br> You are Very Fast/Strong/Wise/Weird (or other), and are not a master swordsman (yet).<br> <br> <br> <b>Swords</b><br> To wield two blades at once is to court madness and calamity. That said, it's really easy to swap between swords mid-combat. It's notoriously easy to carry multiple swords, ten is barely a burden. People have remarked upon this. It's just a thing.<br> <br> Any sword with an apostrophe or other punctuation in it's name is cursed. Also just a thing. "Curses" aren't usually straight maledictions, just odd restrictions and risky potentials. They can even have incredibly strong powers, seemingly without any drawback... be very careful of these ones.<br> <br> All swords have secret powers, hidden capabilities, strange agendas and bizarre histories. All of them, especially the cursed ones.<br> <br> <b>How did you get your first sword?</b><br> <ol> <li>Stumbled upon in a field</li> <li>Family heirloom</li> <li>Bought at great cost</li> <li>Stole</li> <li>Looted from corpse</li> <li>Stabbed with it and left to die</li> <li>Gifted by liege</li> <li>Gambling</li> <li>In a dream</li> <li>Fell from the sky</li> <li>Awarded for bravery</li> <li>Showed up when you needed it</li> </ol> <br> <button onclick='selectRandom_sword("sword")'>Sword</button> <button onclick='selectRandom_sword("cursed sword")'>Cursed Sword</button> <button onclick='showTables_sword("sword", lists_sword)'>Show tables</button><br /><br> <br> <div id='outputText_sword'></div><br> <br> <br> <b>A few swords</b><br> <ol> <li>WHAT SHARP TEETH - Hydra Blade, every time a blade is shattered, two more grow in it's place</li> <li>QUEEN OF HARMS - Longsword of Attacking Twice in a Round</li> <li>WING LINE REVERIE - Can slash beyond the tip of the sword.

Also incapable of ending duels in any way other than absolute victory</li> <li>DISTANT STAR'S LIGHT - Logarithmic beam attack, gets stronger the longer it is held still (1 round = 1 stab, 10 rounds = 2 stabs, 100 rounds = 3 stabs).

One minute should be enough to shatter a castle wall, ten to topple a small hill, but past a certain point you will likely not survive the explosion`, `QUERY VELVET HOPES - When the flat of the blade is placed against someone’s bare skin, they cannot withhold information or lie`, `INFINITE GORE FOUNTAIN - If the bearer kills something, they can immediately make another attack against a new target. Eating bits of slain foes appeases the sword`, `CUP OF FLESH - Can merge with a dying foe to form a blade homunculus. The homunculus cannot speak. The homunculus cannot stop smiling. The homunculus cannot disobey an order given to it by the bearer. Falls apart after a few weeks, or when the blade is grabbed back out`, `TAKEN AND LOST - Grants bearer echolocation when speaking the name`, `SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED - Those slain grant haruspecious insight through examination of their entrails`, `GALLOW AMONG BOUGHS - If someone it's wounded has broken a law of the land they're in, the sword will shriek their crimes as it tastes their flesh. Blood spilling from that wound will write a detailed description of the events`, `THIS HIDEOUS MIGHT - Fuses to the hand that wields it, can then only be removed by amputation. You can learn to retract the sword into your arm with focus, and then that arm will just look oversized and misshapen, but if you get angry or scared it'll spring out. When you kill someone with it slowly, you can absorb yourself into them and pilot them around like a pseudo-living zombie for a few minutes`, `MILK DROWNED KITTEN - While you wield it you lose all skill at swordfighting, and can't use any special techniques. The same happens to your enemies`, `WHO LIVES DIES - So long as you do nothing but dance, execute drills, or whirl it around your hand, you cannot be hit by anyone other than a master swordsman, and even then only just`, `LAW BLASPHEME PROFUSELY - Instead of fighting, if you spend time pondering a demon or supernatural foe, has a chance of revealing their true name`, `CONFLICTS OF INTEREST - Constantly points out opportunities, however farfetched, for advantage, and knows the rough market value of anything his blade touches`, `DISREGARD COMMON SENSE - If used to sever a rope, chain or other long object, both cut ends will immediately knot themselves`, `SERIOUSLY DOUBT POSSIBILITY - Those cut by him and still bleeding can see the invisible and touch the intangible`, `ROYAL LESSON RHETORIC - Can parry any projectile the bearer can see coming, including ballista bolts and cannonballs`, `SET AGAINST SEA - While drawn, all fire within 10ft of the sword is extinguished. This extinguishing extends out to 30ft along the arc of a swing`, `SEVERED SCALES SUMP - When laid between two objects it will turn to point towards the more valuable of the two. When used for a duel, its wielder can wager any prize on the victory, so long as what each duelist wagers is agreed to be equal in value. This agreement doesn't need to be made at the outset of the duel, or even made with the knowledge that there will be a duel`, `LONELY NARROW LIGHT - If something is blocking your path, then striking it with the sword will at least chip or scratch it, even if it's a solid block of adamantine. Once, and only once, the sword can be used to cut a path through anything, even up to slicing a new pass through a mountain range. After being used like this the sword dissolves into a cloud of dry autumn leaves, never to be seen again for a generation or more`, `SEVEN STARS SHINE - Inflicts wounds directly on the soul, can harm angels, demons, spells`, `CONSULT LICENSE AGREEMENT - Can find loopholes in any contract, or lies in any message, by cutting a bit of the paper it’s written on`], "cursed sword": [`BLUE FLESH'S WEAK - Regrows severed limbs with lizard flesh and lizard thoughts`, `INFINITY'S LEGENDARY COST - Doubles in length every time it kills something`, `REALLY WASN'T INVOLVED - Enhances the bearers speed while they are a running away`, `DON'T EVEN TRY- Anything killed is stricken from existence over the next minute`, `THOU'ST ALSO FORSAKEN - Anything you kill goes to Hell or Heaven, your choice. Choose wisely`, `IT'S A SHIELD - Improbably wide and blunt, great at parrying and not much else`, `LUCK O' DRAW - Eats other swords, if they are magical it mirrors the ability. Can only contain one ability at a time. Can only eat swords in combat if they are broken. Will gradually devour any swords it is left in storage with`, `USE MARTYR'S BLADE - Anything that kills you dies horribly`, `CUT GORD'S KNOT - Always slices through any ropes nearby`, `ISN'T AIN'T WORST'ST - Incredibly cursed. Anything touching it, even through armour or bundled in fabric, contracts a random curse. Only inflicts one curse per person`, `DREAM BEAST'S MARK - Falls through sheaths, and any other material, unless it is wet with fresh blood. Will fall through the earth if you drop it dry`, `NE'ER DO WRONG - Becomes increasingly vicious and deadly day by day as the bearer starves. Resets if its wielder eats anything`, `FINAL O'CLOCK TASTE - Drains the blood of its victims, healing the bearer. Anyone carrying it can't heal any other way`, `'TWIXT FAIR ROADS - Incapable of harming the innocent, underserving, or unaware`, `FOUL WHICH'LL BREW - Cuts through armour like a cold knife through cold butter, can't harm flesh`, `BOLDLY CAP'N SPEAKS - The bearer will never reach any place they are actively searching for`, `HUNDREDS'TH CUT FALL - After dealing 999 wounds, the 1000th is instantly lethal`, `SOFT SOMBER'S TONE - If the bearer is attacked while asleep, they will fight very effectively without waking. Otherwise, sharp and nimble as a club`, `A'NOTHER GO AT - Skill with this blade increases with drunkenness. Sober fighters will be in danger of hurting themselves`, `HEART'S PERFECT VIEW - Gains a magical power when it touches the beating heart of the current bearer`, `SLAUGHTER/SLAY/SMITE - Contains a demon. Capable of granting martial prowess in exchange for souls or control over the bearer. If the sword is broken, the demon is freed`, `HOLY HOLY HOLY! - Transmutes the bearers blood into burning light and blasts it towards struck foes`, `GOT A KNIFE? - Any enemy slain rises a few minutes later as a ravenous spectre`, `PURE HONEY-LOST - Traps the soul of slain foes permanently, dragging the ghosts along behind the bearer`, `"TRUE THE LAST" - Binds the bearers soul into the pommel, rendering their body immune to many spells and magical effects`, `PERISH NOT, FOREVER - Anything the blade would kill suffers a Fate Worse Then Death instead`, `FIGHTER'S GONNA FIGHT - Constantly leaks filth, small insects, assorted miasma and mysterious fluids`, `UPROOT MOUNTAIN'S BONES - Shockingly effective at sneak attacks and backstabs, while the bearers hand can be seen it seems to stop existing`, `WATCH CLOSELY M'BOY - Marks the bearer as a just and goodly knight, incapable of dishonour or dishonesty`, `CLOUD SWEEPS O'ER - Bearer is incapable of losing duels. Also incapable of ending duels in any way other than absolute victory`, `DISTANT STAR'S LIGHT - Logarithmic beam attack, gets stronger the longer it is held still (1 round = 1 stab, 10 rounds = 2 stabs, 100 rounds = 3 stabs). Fires whenever moved`, `BE BLACK'EST HAND - Grants an instant of martial expertise in exchange for rotting the flesh and soul a bit more, staining the hand of the bearer`, `JUST AS PLANNED... - Instead of wounding a foe, they must take an action of your choosing`, `FEED MORE [GORE] - While drawn, any wound taken nearby to this blade is unnaturally severe. Includes the bearer and allies in the effect`, `I /NEED/ IT - Anyone who sees the blade drawn desperately wishes to possess it`, `RILED MONSTER WITH'IN - Any organic material touching the hilt rapidly turns to stone`, `REDEMPTION'S ALWAYS CHEAP - Bends reality to make sure it always wounds the target. Often puts the bearer in dangerous situations to do so`, `NIGHT'S STILL YOUNG - Can be used to draw down falling stars. The result varies wildly, from a tiny pebble up to a devastating impact`, `FOLLY OF "YOUTH" - While held in a two-handed grip, each blow that lands ages the bearer 1 year and brings down the crushing weight of time`, `HOLD'S ME CLOSER - Every injury dealt is twice as severe, and every injury received by the bearer twice as severe. A certain ritual performed upon this blade can make all injuries up to four times as brutal`, `THAT'S ALL, FOLKS - Anyone that would be killed by this, is instead whisked away under mysterious circumstances. They may return at a later date, changed in bizarre ways, or apparently not changed at all...`, `PLEASE DON'T BLINK - Impaling yourself allows your ghost to astral project. When the sword is pulled out, you spring back to life. Don't go too far from your body, something else might make itself at home`, `HOPE'S FURTHEST TINE - Name the deepest desire of someone you can see to lunge at them, no matter how far, and pierce through their chest. Naming a desire falsely causes the sword to unravel and bind the arm that held it permanently`, `YNN'S WATERING CAN - Thorns slide out of the hilt every time the blade lands a solid hit which implant small rose seeds into the bearers hands. When embedded in a corpse, fills it with sprouting vines and creates a floral zombie`, `DEAD RECKONING G_D - Screams its name and Smites whatever it is in contact with every 60 seconds, accompanied by a rumble of thunder`, `VIOLENCE MIS-WROUGHT HEAVEN - Bearer can use a wound as a portal to any other wound they've dealt recently, on a living or dead body, assuming they can fit through both. Portals work for lots of other things`, `I WOULDN'T NOT - When the sword wounds an opponent, the bearer heals any similar wound they have. If the bearer cuts themselves, an enemy suffers the same wound. Works line-of-sight, or at any range if you know their name`, `NIGHT'S BLACK CATHEDRAL - As soon as someone utters any word in combat, the blade folds in half. Any liquid it's stirred in becomes unholy water`, `2 FACED HANG - Refuses to be drawn against anyone with better kung fu than yours`, `PROBLEMS YET UNSOLV'D - Those slain by the blade will trade faces permanently with the wielder`, `SHAME 'N DEFEAT - Breaking the sword will cause a natural disaster`, `BEHOLD, BESTOW, BEHAVE - If you are entirely unharmed and unblemished while wielding the sword, you become surrounded by an aura of majesty. Those with hostile intent can hardly bare to meet your eyes. Royalty will treat with you as an equal. If you are hurt or dirtied while wielding the sword this effect inverts. This curse lasts until you wash the sword with an expensive bottle of wine`, `ROLL'N THE DICE - The bearer will never succeed at any kind of acrobatic stunt, but also will never suffer harm in the attempt`, `LET'S GO AGAIN - Soft and useless until used to parry a blow, after that it has the sharpness, magical properties and strength of the other sword. Lasts until the fight ends`, `AIN'T I PRETTY - While blood touches the blade, it is heavy as a boulder`], "description": [`{material layout} {style}, {accessory}{has minor power}`, `{style} of
