Urnung. A land once filled with grassy valleys and snowy mountain ranges.
But that is long, long ago. For ages, Urnung has been a Desert of frozen sand, Origin of the Corpse Worms.
The only thing that marks the great wastes are the Black Pyramids of the Crycons.
The Crycons are the only civilised creatures that live on in Urnung.
They are tough, big, and live by strict laws.
They refuse to leave Urnung, as they are the ones that caused it’s undoing.
For they are the ones that angered Shroud, the great smoke demon.
The demon that covered the whole land in a black cloak of thick smoke, blocking all sunlight.
The exact story of what happened is unknown to this day, but it is known that Holo Dragonson himself took part in Shroud’s vengeance.
And it is known that Shroud gave Holo a gift. Something which even Ahmon’Zan, the Great Dragon could not grant.
And it is known that the gift still lies within Urnung’s borders.
This, is where our story begins.
You are a small group of adventurers that have known each other for years, part of a great organisation founded by Lord Taiion himself.
You are looking for this gift, and unlike everyone else you have a lead to go by.
You know that the gift lies within the Pyramid City of Roag, and you know, most importantly, the gift’s name.
Whatever it might mean, you know that you are looking for the Book of the Bladebringer.






Hello and Welcome to another RP in my varyingly successful Rafia series. :) If you have played a Rafia RP before, you’l be familiar with the basics and ready to proceed, but if you are not you might wannna scrape around in the old threads to pick up some juicy lore and such.
This RP is slightly special though, as it is NOT the planned continuation of the Rafia series (Rafia: Bladesurge), but instead a test run for my new ‘Lorepainter’ Role Playing system that will be used in Bladesurge.
At the same time, this will also serve as Prequel for Bladesurge, and unless you all screw up and die there will be a lot of lore unveils.
As a last thing before we get started you should know that the test run does not yet contain all the systems that it will when Bladesurge is launched.
Some will be applied as the game runs, but some wont.
Have fun playing!

NOTE: As this is a beta, things may be changed,added or removed on the spot.

Your Role Ten years after the great catastrophe and the Unleashing of the Entity, the war has solidified.
Neither side can do much to hurt the other, and even though the number of people touched by the entity’s power grow most of them join the fight against it.
Both sides look for something that can tip the balance, and some just look to use the situation for personal gain.
The hunt is on.

In Cries of Urnung: Book of the Bladebringer you play as part of an adventuring group, which in turn is part of a huge organisation.
You, the players, have known each other for years, and have experianced many a’ things together.
You are veterans, but yet you are about to enter a world unknown to you.

Any players entering the game ‘Late’ will be reinforcements sent from the leaders of the great organisation, Which is called ‘Loras Mthorena’, by the way.

The Lorepainter System Just as a short explanation to how my Rps work:
You post your action, I tell you what happens.
Make sure to clarify exactly what you do.
Any rolls needed are done by me.

The Lorepainter system bases itself on one simple thing: Being easy to learn.
It has complexity and loads of material to create unique and fun charecters, but at the same time it is very simple.
The core principle is to have as few Charts as possible.
In pretty much any system i’ve ever played in i’ve had to constantly ‘Roll on the Fear Chart’, ‘Unconsciousness Chart’ or ‘Cooking Eggs Chart’.
Looking up these charts in huge rulebooks every five seconds has always annoyed me, so in Lorepainter I try to have as few charts as possible.
And so far, we have ONE. The ‘Difficulty Chart’.
The Difficulty chart is applied to every action that requires a roll, deciding how hard the action is.
What difficulty an action has and what bonuses you get to your roll is decided by the DM, even though some specefic actions will have preset bonuses or difficulties.
The difficulty chart and the setup of dice rolls can be found below.
Note that, as this RP is online, I will do all the rolls for you.
Also Lorepainter ONLY USES D6’s! That’s your regular dice, for those of you that arent tabletop gamers.
Multiple D6’s will though be used every once in a while.


DifLevel 1: Straightforward
Requires a Roll of 3 or More to be successful.
A Critical Success is a Roll of 6 or More, and Critical Failure is a Roll of 1 or Below.
Examples: Performing a Straighforward attack with any weapon, Casting a simple spell (such as a projectile Spell) or any action that has a high enough chance of failure to need a roll.

DifLevel 2: Simple
Requires a Roll of 6 or More to be successful.
A Critical Success is a Roll of 12 or More, and Critical Failure is a Roll of 1 or Below.
Examples: Performing an attack or spell faster than normal or at a specefic time, casting a more complex spell such as Healing a companion or any action that normally would have around 20% chance of failure.

DifLevel 3: Moderate
Requires a Roll of 12 or More to be successful.
A Critical Success is a Roll of 18 or More, and Critical Failure is a Roll of 4 or Below.
Examples: Performing a precision strike, operating a machine or weapon that you have no experience with or any action that normally would have around 35% chance of failure.

DifLevel 4: Chancy
Requires a Roll of 20 or More to be successful.
A Critical Success is a Roll of 30 or More, and Critical Failure is a Roll of 10 or Below.
Examples: Performing a highly athletic attack, performing more than one action in one turn or any action that normally would have around 50% chance of failure.

DifLevel 5: Challenging
Requires a Roll of 40 or More to be successful.
A Critical Success is a Roll of 50 or More, and Critical Failure is a Roll of 20 or Below.
Examples: Dodging a full-speed arrow, casting a complex spell in a snowstorm or any action that normally would have around 65% chance of failure.

DifLevel 6: High-Risk
Requires a Roll of 60 or More to be successful.
A Critical Success is a Roll of 100 or More, and Critical Failure is a Roll of 30 or Below.
Examples: Snatching a full-speed arrow out of the air, getting direct contact to a god or any action that normally would have around 80% chance of failure.

DifLevel 7: Near Impossible
Requires a Roll of 100 or More to be successful.
A Critical Success is a Roll of 150 or More, and Critical Failure is a Roll of 40 or Below.
Examples: Creating a hole in a brick wall with your bare hands, wrestling a shark while underwater or any action that normally would have around 95% chance of failure.

DifLevel 8: Impossible
Requires a Roll of 200 or More to be successful.
A Critical Success is a Roll of 400 or More, and Critical Failure is a Roll of 50 or Below.
Examples: Banishing a god, creating a hole in creation itself or any action that normally would have 100% chance of failure.



All dice rolls are set up like this:
Melee Attack: Roll: (1d6 +4 from Preparation) 4 (8).

Green: Action Name Red: Number of Dies (Dice) Orange: Bonuses
Blue: Roll result without applied Bonuses Teal: Roll result with applied Bonuses

NOTE:
If you Roll a 6 on a dice and you have not reached a crit yet another dice will be rolled and added to the final result.
This can be repeated.


A dice roll is required whenever your actions are ‘out of the ordinary’.
For example, jumping over a cliff or climbing a wall.
Your actions also require a roll when they affect other players’ charecters or NPCs in a hostile way or in any other way they would not like you to.
Ofcourse, ordinary actions like talking does NOT require rolls.
Positive actions towards other players’ charecters, like casting a healing spell or guarding them with your shield, still requires a roll as such actions count as inordinary.
A dice roll is ofcourse also required whenever the DM says so.

When performing an action that requires a dice roll you should never fully post the action, but only the beginning of it.
For example, you should NEVER post
“My character runs toward the enemy, swinging his sword at him and cutting off the enemy’s head.” What you SHOULD post is more like this:
“My character runs toward the enemy, swining his sword at him...” Once that is posted, you should wait for a dice roll to be made and for the DM to finish your action.


In the Lorepainter system you will see the terms 'Turns' and 'Actions' be used several times, so here's a short explanation to what is what:
An Action is, for example, attacking someone.
You have one action every turn.
But, if a spell says 'Lasts 5 actions' it does not mean that they are all YOUR actions.
This spell would for example end after you and four of your friends have performaned an action.
A Turn, though, can contain many actions.
A turn is started whenever everyone has made their actions (even though a turn might sometimes be ended early if only a few people are missing).
So if a spell says that it last for five turns, you will be able to make five actions before it ends.



When rolling dice there is a pretty big chance that you will sooner or later get some neat bonuses.
These bonuses can be caused by anything from your charecter’s stats to the current combat situation.
Bonuses from stats only apply if the action you are performing is related to a stat (which most actions will be).
Each stat is related to a specefic kind of actions. For example strength is related to melee attacks and physical defense.
You always get half (rounded down) of your related stat in bonus to rolls. Some rolls have two or more related stats. For example Dexterity is ALSO related to physical defense.
Such rolls automatically uses your highest stat.


On any attack or spell roll, the damage dealt to the target is the final result (bonuses added).
If the target makes a successfull defence check, the final result (with added bonuses) is deducted from the original damage.
Some spells and special attacks (Like runes) have set damage.


If somebody rolls a crit on a check or other dice rolls,
a dice will be rolled on this chart to determine what happens.
1: Extreme Success.
Whatever the charecter was doing, he/she has extreme success with.
2: Unexpected Success.
The charecter has success with whatever he's doing, but not nessecarily in the way he/she hoped for.
3: Good Stuff.
Something good happens, like discovering a new spell or gaining a new feat.
4: Extra Díce.
An extra dice is rolled, which will be added to the previous roll result.
The extra dice can also result in a crit, which will lead to another roll on this chart.
5: Pwn.
Something really awesome happens, like getting a Soul-Buff (When you get one you will know why this is awesome. beleive me.)
or instantly killing a monster that is more than thrice as strong as you.
6: Übarpwn.
Like Pwn, just with abit more AWESOME.
When Übarpwn is rolled, you might be saved by a angel, or maybe have a demon from the chaotic planes kill your opponent.
Who knows? It's Übar.



As for Combat and character Customization, Lorepainter uses a wide variety of feats and a simple Stat system. Also note that (unlike the other Rafia Rps) Lorepainter uses a set amount of hitpoints. They do though replenish themselves after every battle, unless you get some pretty severe wounds.
The feat list will be posted lower down in the character creation part (Even though the full one will not be posted yet, but revealed gradually).
The stat system, though, might aswell be explained here.


The stats in Lorepainter are like a permanent bonus to roll.
The DM decides which rolls use which stats, even though some rolls have presets.
Some feats change which rolls uses which stats.
When a roll gets a bonus from a stat, the bonus you get is equal to half the amount of points you have in that stat, rounded down.
There are five stats.
-Strength
Affects melee attacks and (ofcourse) your charecter’s strength.
-Willpower
Affects how good your character is at magic.
-Dexterity
Affects ranged attacks and your charecters agility.
-Cunning
Grants no actual combat bonus but is required for a lot of feats.
Also works as your charecter’s general intelligence.
-Endurance
Increases your charecter’s hitpoints.
Base hitpoint pool is 50. Each point of endureance increases the hitpoint pool by 10 points.



Here’s a short explanation on Magic in Lorepainter if you’re gonna be a caster.

In the Lorepainter system ANYONE can cast magic.
You might though be more or less successful depending on how many points you put into your Will stat.
BUT, you can also choose to specialise your casting by taking a stat in one of the three Casting Specialisations.
The three specialisations are Wizardry (or Rune-Mastery), Channeling and Fury (Fury is not included in the Beta).

The Wizardry feats grants acces to Runes.
Runes are incredibly powerfull spells that even at a low mastery level can cause great devastation or other effects.
But, once used they have to be restored. Restoring a rune either takes a great deal of Ingame time or a Runic altar.
And Runes are not something that you just go around throwing at every rat you see.
For instance even a Master Wizard only has 10 Rune Slots.
He might KNOW a hundred diffirent runes, many of which he has invented himself, but he can only prepare ten of them.
The first level of Wizardry gives three runes slots and allows you to learn ten runes.

Channelling is a much more casual form of magic.
Unlike wizardry, channelling allows you to tap into an unending stream of magic.
But keep in mind that channelling is not nearly as strong as wizardry, takes longer to master AND is VERY specialised.
For instance there are several types of Channelling, ranging from Elemental Channelling to Psychic Channelling.
And unlike the wizardry feat which is just one feat that has to be upgraded so and so many times you have to upgrade each type of channelling seperately.
Channelling is though a much more flexible playing style in combat.
Whenever you make a successful magic-related roll you active all channelling feats that you have, allowing you to channel magic without further rolls.


The Fury Casting-Style allows you to every once in a while unleash incredible amounts of magical energy upon the world.
During battle your charecter’s fury will slowly build up, allowing you to tap into it and cast great magic.
If you have no fury then the you have no bonuses at all from the Fury-Specialisation.
There are though very little limitation on how high your fury level can get, so saving up for long enough can very easily pay off.
There are also things that can both decrease and increase your fury while outside combat.
For example, sleeping completely depletes your fury, while having a loud argument with someone very quickly can get your fury level up high.
ANY FURY BASED SPELL USES UP ALL FURY.



As one last note before you guys make your charecters, know that the system now contains character Levels.
You get 5 Stat Points and 1 Feat Point per level. During the Beta Levels will simply be granted by the DM (me) when I think it appropriate.
A proper level system will be added upon the release of Bladesurge.


character creation has also been simplified in Lorepainter, but you can read about that below. :)

[FONT=”Palatino Linotype”]Character Creation[/FONT] To create your character you have to fill out this sheet.
Below it you will find explanations on all the steps that arent obvious.
You can edit ANYTHING on your character until your game starts, so if i add/remove something that makes you wanna edit your character, go ahead and do so.

Name:
Race:
Description and Biography: Describe your character.
Stats:
Strength:
Will:
Dexterity:
Cunning:
Endurance:
Feats:
Weapon: Pretty much any medieval-times weapon.
Armour: Cloth, Leather, Scalemail or Plate.


In Lorepainter races do not have stat bonuses.
You simply have to pick the one you want for your character.
Some races have special abilities that can be chosen, flight For Example, and choosing to have these abilities will reduce the amount of feats you can start out with.
The races you can pick in this RP are:

Human:
Typical Fantasy Setting Humans as you know them.

Elf:
Just like the humans, sky elves are pretty stereotypical.
There are three sorts:
Sky Elves (High Elves), Wood Elves and Mountain Elves (Dark Elves).

Crycon:
Crycons are the big, tough and Viking-like inhabitants of Urnung.
They live by a strict honor code, and have a great talent for rune magic.
Racial: Crycons can choose to sacrifice one feat point and learn Basic Wizardry (at the normal cost of 1 feat point) without any stat restrictions.

Drak’Ron:
The Drak’Ron are a Sub-Race of the Scaleborn, also known as Half-Dragons Both Scaleborn and Drak’Ron are covered in scales from top to toe, and have the heads of a dragon.
Their most unique trait, though, is that their bodies change as they raise through the ranks of their own hierachy.
Not all of them have wings, but those that do are highly regarded among kin.
Unlike the Scaleborn, which almost only have green scales, the Drak’Ron have all black scales and are a slight bit more aggressive.
Over the years the Drak’Ron have also managed to grow more numerous than the Scaleborn, and are now highly regarded for their knowledge in stone architecture.
Racial: Drak’Ron can sacrifice two feat points to have wings, and gain the ability to fly.




Picking your stats is one of the most simple processes.
You get 20 stat points which you can put in any of the stat fields you want, but you might wanna check out the feat list first as most feats have stat requirements.
Note that all stats start at 1, not zero.



To start out, everyone gets 5 feat points which you can use to pick feats from this list.
For Lorepainter I have created LOADS of feats, but the majority of them will not be available to you from the beginning.
There are two major feat types:
Fighting Styles and Casting Styles.

Fighting Styles are feats which determine which stats grant bonuses to melee and ranged attacks.
The are passive, but only one can be active at a time.

Casting Styles are feats that unlock new ways of casting spells.
There are three types: Wizardry (Runes), Channelling and Rage.
Rage is unavailable in the beta.

Oaths will be included later in the Beta.

If you have picked the 'Basic Wizardry' feat you will need to pick some runes.
Note that how many runes you know (Basic Wizardry allows you to learn 5) is not the same as how many Rune Slots you have.
Rune slots are what you use to prepare runes.
If you have three rune slots (that's what basic wizardry grants) you can have three runes prepared.
Once a rune is used, the slot is empty and has to be re-filled.
This can be done by rune altars, which can be found in most cities and sometimes in dungeons.
To keep track of your runes, just add a 'Runes:' section to your character sheet.



-Rapid Regrowth
Uses inundulated life force to heal the target for 10d6 HP.
If the target had less than 30 HP left or were otherwise near-death, this rune is not used up and can be used again.
This rune does not take up a runeslot to prepare, but still needs to be replenished at a rune altar if used up.

-Stone Prison
Imprisons the target in stone, paralyzing it for 10 turns.
If the target is of great size or has a strength of 50 or higher this rune has no effect.
Other factors may also render this rune useless.

Illios was born in a normal family, comprising of his brother, mother and father. The mother died at childbirth and as he grew up a rivalry was created between the two brothers for their father’s love, since he was usually gone. Illios lost it and became more isolated from the world, becoming asocial. After moving out he married a beautiful Elf – but alas, she died, and he was in sadness. Many tears were shed on her grave, but finally he just packed his bags and left. After wandering a long time, he joined a band of mercenaries, since he was running out of food. He befriended them, and slowly became their leader for many years. However, whilst fighting the enemy of their master they were surrounded and slaughtered to the last and the cowardly fled, which included Illios.

Name: Marais Lamente
Race: Sky Elf
Description: Marais confidently stands at 6'3", sporting an athletic build created from years of his martial training as a ranger. His hair is a dark, chocolate-like river that ends above his colour, brightened by the orbs of sky blue that rest symmetrically underneath his crown. His skin is pale, like that of snow, but blood flows freely through his lips, making them smooth and crimson like that of a ripe blood orange.
Biography: For years, Marais was overshadowed by his elder sister. He grew tired of hearing of her progress as a ranger, of how useful she would be to the growing threats outside of the Sky Elven Kingdoms. Marais was always trying to best her, to be seen by his father as more than just 'the second child'. His conviction and desire to prove himself were futile, humiliating him more than aiding in his success. It was when his father called him a disgrace that he truly felt hatred for his family. Thus, he left them, and in search of enlightenment he came to a wizard's academy. Here, he would become something that even his sister could not compete with.

Over the course of many years, Marais developed quite well as an adept sorcerer, being at the top of his class. However, his success made him overconfident. He shed all of his morals, believing them to be a waste of time. It was this overconfidence that lead him to fall in love with one of his mentors - a fatal attraction. This attraction grew, and was soon discovered. His mentor was condemned, for both consorting with a pupil and engaging in a relationship with a male. Marais could not face up to the harsh penalty that would soon follow, so he escaped and fled, abandoning his robes and seeking a greater, freer life as a nomad. During his nomadic years, he became accustom to the way of the ranger and soon dabbled both magic with marksmanship.

Marais is overconfident and shameless, living by his motto 'a long life just means longer fun'. He is rarely caring, seeking pleasure above any form of work, commitment or engagement.

Weapon: Marais' key weapon is his bow, a finely crafted metal beauty adorn by traditional sky elven battle patterns. It is a short, suited for Marias' skirmishing battle style. This bow has later been transformed into the powerful weapon 'The Second Wind', a bow which channels the powers of lightning.
It generates lightning arrows, which deal great damage (+10 Lightning Damage).

He also wields two longswords, or falcata's. He is not a skilled advocate of these impeccable blades, however, and thus rarely uses them.

Armour: Despite his exile, Marais keeps up with the latest elven combat wear. A plate tunic adorn with elven patterns protects his chest and abdominal area, while the remainder of his armour is an assortment of teal, purple and blue cloth with gold weaving patterns. He wears a flexible leather garment behind his chest plate, which runs to just above his knee's. In battle, he covers his face with a bandanna, which can be seen coiled around his neck.


Name: Galkerz
Race: Sky Elf
Description and Biography: He is six feet tall with large ears, green eyes, and white hair, but with a face that brings the ladies near in a heartbeat.
Galkerz was once a mighty Sky Elf that had all he needed, a home, friends, a kind and wonderful family, but that all changed when he was accused of doing wrong from the local guards. They accused him for taking lives from innocents, but still his family believed in him, and sought out a plan to free him from the confused guards and save him. As soon as he was to free himself from this nightmare, his family members were attacked and forced to die for believing his actions and Galkerz just ran as fast as he could to the nearest forest line and was on the run ever since. Hiding his identity from anybody that might take him in for a reward, Galkerz would do anything to help the right face over the wrong.

But misfortune struck once more. An entire human battalion slaughtered defenseless and outnumbered elves. Led by Arcisal's former captor, Lord Augustire, Arcisal slew the Barron and fled the village with the clothes on his back and his staff. Fleeing to the mystical wood elven capital, Arcisal quickly found deep respect and admiration from his own kin. Eventually he was made Head Cleric of the Wood Elves.

Arcisal also quietly kindled a grudge against humans. When a human-elven war was sparked, Arcisal was at the forefront, striking down human knights while manipulating minds. But he finally realized that not all humans were the same, after an encounter with a falsely convicted human mercenaries who showed kindness and respect to Arcisal when he was lost in the mountainous regions. With this newfound knowledge, Arcisal, after the war, seek to create a human-elven pact, tirelessly trying to accomplish his mission of human and elven peace.

Name: Amnora Helene Moraine
Race: Human
Description: Amnora is arian by nature, with piercing, sky-blue eyes that glisten like diamonds and long, golden locks bound by four metallic bands. Her hair runs down to her waistline, but she keeps it dangling over her shoulder. Her cheekbones are high and her skin made pale by the chill of the north. In whatever circumstance, be it hot or cold, Amnora is draped by an azure-blue cloak with the symbol of the Northern Empire upon it. This symbol is of a strange rune that looks like an eye. It is violet, and stands out. Her shroud is trimmed by white and is connected by an obsidian brooch at her waist. Her neck is hidden by a mantle of the same material and color as her cloak. She wears leather gloves, which at the palm, are charred by the velocity of arcane power. Her body is weaker than normal in terms of muscle, and she is extremely petite and feminine, but she makes up for it with her magic.
Biography: “Amnora Helene Moraine was the greatest sorceress to ever walk the bloodied soil of the north. She was also the only one of her kind, but even she could not withstand the malice of her people. For you see, dear reader, the north was not a world in which harmony presided. It was a cruel and unpredictable place, dangerous to the very core, where the malevolence of humanity unveiled itself in every corner. Across the greatest expanse of these beautiful lands blanketed in white snow ruled the Northern Empire, a collection of provinces that once sought to destroy each other. The people of these lands are malevolent, oppressive and brutal, yet cunning and blessed with the ingenuity of man.

Presiding over this monstrosity was the Emperor Kaelan Moraine. He had no empress, but ruled with cold and unforgiving relentlessness and enforced his own beliefs upon his people. One of these primary beliefs was that “men are superior and women will not excel – they are tools for reproduction and preserve our glorious empire”. Due to this, women were forced to the lower castes where few provisions were provided for while men rose and became rich and powerful. It was expected that men produce one daughter to help continue the line of another family, but produce sons to continue their own legacy. Not only that, but men were all gifted with the ability to call upon the world’s energies and culminate it, while women were not.

However, there was one exception…

Amnora was born to the emperor and a concubine. Her mother was then discarded into the slums of another city, and so too would Amnora. The birth of Amnora was an inconvenience for the emperor, who had just officially declared war on a province beyond the expanses of his empire. For six years, he was gone, and Amnora was under the care of her older brothers Itheriel and Rulaan. When the emperor returned, he was disgusted, and decided that such an abomination to his family was to be slain immediately. Upon almost killing her, Amnora created a shield of arcane energies that reflected his attack, scarring his arm. The emperor, though outraged, began to love his daughter and even envied her potential. However, to preserve his image amongst the men of his empire, he hid her away where she would teach her younger brothers (and even herself) magic.

When Amnora was seventeen, her father and another concubine gave birth to another girl. The emperor believed that when she grew older, she too would show magical promise. However, Valessa grew up to show no arcane prowess. Upon her assessment, Amnora attempted to create the illusion that her sister could wield magic, but to no avail, as her father detected her trickery and sentenced Amnora to participate in the grueling campaign known as the War of the Spider. The elite magi of the empire fought this war, in the extreme north, and survival was not guaranteed for such an amateur in combat and magic. Nonetheless, Amnora participated and harnessed her magical abilities to the fullest, then returned to the capital. Her father, who had called a conference for the houses of nobility in his kingdom, did not know until she stormed through the doors of his great hall with eyes of pure ice and lightning buzzing around her. Her anger was righteous and her abilities unsurpassable. She slaughtered most of the nobles, left only a few alive, and revealed that she was the daughter of the emperor.

In this spectacle, the emperor revealed that he had killed Valessa, and sentenced Amnora to be exiled from the Northern Empire or be killed instantly. Amnora, cornered by her emotions, obeyed her father and left just as her younger brothers departed for their arcane education. Now, her only choice, to go south. However, as she ventured south, her eldest brother (now the Archmage of Arcaith) followed her. Unknowingly, his father had sent mercenaries to kill him, and when he caught up with his sister, was slain. His last breaths were to avenge him and to one day return to the empire and save them from their father, and then gave her his staff, which would eventually become her soulblade in her journey to Rafia…”

Edition 2 - "It is a known fact the Amnora Moraine was in fact present in the Sixth Plane. What she did there is currently unknown, but her efforts have earned her greater respect and infamy in the north, especially amongst the womenfolk."

Weapon: Rulaan, Viperstaff of Arcaith
Upon his last breaths, Rulaan Moraine gave his sister one last gift to keep her from the hand of malice during her exile. He gave her the Viperstaff of Arcaith, a symbol of magical power amongst the sorcerers of her homeland, and an artifact only meant to be possessed by the ruling archmage of The City of Lights. She then blessed the staff with a name to honor her late brother and left to fulfill her exile in Rafia, where her staff changed, and became bound to her.

Rulaan is long and slender, forged from arcane-tempered metals, and pulsating with magic equal to that of its owner. It is covered in runes that radiate with a dark glow when a magical entity is nearby. Upon its tip is the head of a cobra in its attack pose, and then upon that is her soulblade, a narrow dagger that sprouted from the viper’s head when she came to this darkened land. The dagger is engraved with the word for ‘corruption’ in the tongue of her homeland.

Armour: Amnora has essentially discarded most of her old apparel, except for the obsidian brooch. Her body has become accustomed to chaotic energy, and is constantly in heat. Draped around her neck is a blood-red cape which falls down and follow her like a train. A dark green shirt is loosely wrapped around her chest, then both sleeves, but leaves a midriff. Her skirt, also blood-red, is long and ripped, bound across her waist by a golden sash. She also wears boots and thin, silken gloves.


Name: Nyviara

Race: Fairy Like Creature

Description and Biography:

Nyviara, Queen of the Gendahtsie, a regal and haughty figure, with wealth, responsibility, and power. now in Rafia, she has little of this, but her demand for respect, and her airy nature will never be taken from her.

She stands nearly 6 inches tall, with light blue skin, dappled down her sides, running down to her does, and up to her head. She has long black hair, and dark eyes. Beautiful, as all pixies are, and has a pair of wings, like a butterfly's, that glow faintly. Embellished with a beautiful pattern, and fairly translucent.

Raised to be the queen by ordinance of birth and blessing, Nyviara had great power in her world. A practitioner of the highest of divine magic. In rafia, her ability has been cut to its lowest form, something that frustrates her endlessly. She is of an unknown age, but has been queen of her people for thirty years..

She loathes being titled "Fairy, or Faerie." She has pride in her species and culture, and demands respect for it.

Nice to see some charecters already. :)
A few things though:
Peper and Phoon, Both of you still have one Feat point left.
I see that this is pretty much 'cause you dont have the required stats to take any more, so i gotta deal with that.
So, a few rule changes:

-All Stats now start at 1, not zero. (that's how i intended it but i forgot to write it. Sorry.)
-You now get 20 stat points instead of 15.
-More feats will be added to the startout collection as soon as i've added the section with runes.

Also, on a dm's note, you might wanna spread out your stats a little.
For those of you that are Drak'Ron with wings, just ad '-Wings (Racial)' to your feats. :)


Apart from that and the spelling mistakes in your biographies, your charecters are pretty ok. ^^

Name: Galkerz
Race: Sky Elf
Description and Biography: He is six feet tall with large ears, green eyes, and white hair, but with a face that brings the ladies near in a heartbeat.
Galkerz was once a mighty Sky Elf that had all he needed, a home, friends, a kind and wonderful family, but that all changed when he was accused of doing wrong from the local guards. They accused him for taking lives from innocents, but still his family believed in him, and sought out a plan to free him from the confused guards and save him. As soon as he was to free himself from this nightmare, his family members were attacked and forced to die for believing his actions and Galkerz just ran as fast as he could to the nearest forest line and was on the run ever since. Hiding his identity from anybody that might take him in for a reward, Galkerz would do anything to help the right face over the wrong.

Name: Illios
Race: Sky Elf
Description and Biography: A relative-normal seeming Elf with tired face expressions and if you don't count the fact that he conceals his face, except for his eyes. Green eyes, a blond beard and blond hair. He also wears a brown cloak. Besides all this he's also fairly tall.

Illios was born in a normal family, comprising of his brother, mother and father. The mother died at childbirth and as he grew up a rivalry was created between the two brothers for their father’s love, since he was usually gone. Illios lost it and became more isolated from the world, becoming asocial. After moving out he married a beautiful Elf – but alas, she died, and he was in sadness. Many tears were shed on her grave, but finally he just packed his bags and left. After wandering a long time, he joined a band of mercenaries, since he was running out of food. He befriended them, and slowly became their leader for many years. However, whilst fighting the enemy of their master they were surrounded and slaughtered to the last and the cowardly fled, which included Illios. He was enraged and started wandering again, a lost soul, a saddened heart.

@Warlord Az
You're missing five stat points. :)
Also, you cant do the thing with basic wizardry without requirements unless you're a crycon.

@Peper
Remember that you can only have one fighting style active at a time.
I'l be adding a lot of feats as soon as the rune list is up, so you might 'just wanna wait and see what comes. :)

@Gunslinger and Phoon
Both of your charecters work pretty well now. GJ. :)

@Fussiler
All feats are available if you meet the requirements.



Added rules about hit points!
Basic hitpoint pool is 50. You get 10 HP for each point of endurance.

Before i post the startout rune list, here's a few rules about the destinction between Turns and Actions:

In the Lorepainter system you will see the terms 'Turns' and 'Actions' be used several times, so here's a short explanation to what is what:
An Action is, for example, attacking someone.
You have one action every turn.
But, if a spell says 'Lasts 5 actions' it does not mean that they are all YOUR actions.
This spell would for example end after you and four of your friends have performaned an action.
A Turn, though, can contain many actions.
A turn is started whenever everyone has made their actions (even though a turn might sometimes be ended early if only a few people are missing).
So if a spell says that it last for five turns, you will be able to make five actions before it ends.

'jes saying Phoon, you might not wanna declare your character finished 'till i've got all the extra feats added.

And, on a related note:
You can edit ANYTHING on your character until your game starts, so if i add/remove something that makes you wanna edit your character, go ahead and do so.

Added some new feats. :) More runes coming up.
Also, suddenly reaslised you guys dont really know how damage works on basic attacks, so here's a short explanation:
On any attack or spell roll, the damage dealt to the target is the final result (bonuses added).
If the target makes a successfull defence check, the final result (with added bonuses) is deducted from the original damage.
Some spells and special attacks (Like runes) have set damage.

Ya still got one feat point left Peper. :)

Anyways, as soon as i've got the new runes up and everyone's all happy with their characters i'l begin setting up the play thread.
Remember, you guys have been adventuring with each other for years. You might wanna begin discussing what your characters think of each other.
Who are friends, who hate each other, etc.

"I hate you all!" ^^

I might join... for testing purposes.
Initial thoughts are: OMFG COMPLEXOR MUCH!?

But that's what a beta is for right???
AND you need a wide audience including people who don't like the looks of it :p

Do I really have to stick to those races though? D:
Elves are so overrated! -.-

It's not off-topic! I was generally being very, very serious about races for this rp, this thread is about said rp and is therefore not off-topic, your starting to sound like the mods (eurgh..!!).
Guess I'll just play as Meyla again, do I need to fill out a form or can you traverse automagically ??

Is it any wrong to get annoyed if someone comes into your RP and asks if they can play as a narwhal? :p
No, no it's not. ;) I dont mind you guys having ponies as avatars even though i never would myself, but that doesnt mean you get to make no sense (that's my domain! Get out!).

And yeah, you gotta fill out a new form. She's from urnung, as far as i remember, so i guess it'd make sense for her to be here. :)
She'l be the only one in the group to ever have been to the sixth plane then.
Unless anyone else wants to use their characters from the old RP, that is.
