20-09-15

ERRATA

Minor Changes:

1. Wood Lore:

   1. Healing Balm lasts 1 month after creation after which it becomes useless, foul tasting paste. 

   2. Clarification: At level one a Character can start a fire, this is from scratch with no starting equipment (e.g. no match or tinder), the Character can reliably start a fire with just the resources that can be found in the wild.

2. Save calls:

   1. Save calls are part of the spell call for the purposes of interrupt

   2. A save call can be any of the 26 available saves whatever their level. Note: the calls still have to be random, as a general rule a save deck or running through a word/phrase are the best ways of assuring that you do not call saves repeatedly. e.g. ‘MANGO’ or ‘MOULDER’ or ‘NECROMANCER BAD GUY’ are good examples.

3. Weapon Uses:

   1. Two-Handed weapons can do Knockback but the damage cal has to contain actual damage (no subdue knockback).

4. Ratkin:

   1. Playable Ratkin no longer worship the Great Horned Rat (He is dead afterall).

   2. Ratkin Speed has 2 uses

5. Special Abilities:

   1. Speed: All forms of speed have a 10 second cooldown before that character/monster can use speed again.

6. Clerics:

   1. Clerics must buy their god specific, they do not have to buy it first, but they must at some point choose to give up a spell from the general cleric list to replace it with their god specific.

7. Items:

   1. Bound Items are not bound to the soul of the owner, rather the mind, this means that items bound to an undead are still bound to them. Unfortunately the item does not follow the user through reincarnation. This is due to the stress the soul and the mind is put through during the process (it’s effectively washed and cleaned by the Wyld before being shoved into another body), this is why if a soul has taint on it when put through reincarnation a soul combat style event takes place.

8. Tartars:

   1. A Tartar PC can play as a Bard without the extra cost penalty.

9. Orcs:

   1. Hit cap increased to 8.

   2. Start with literacy AND numeracy

10. Weapons Mastery:

    1. To avoid confusion the name of Weapons Mastery has been changed to Weapons Expertise.

   2. Vampires cannot use their blood as an all heal

   3. Vampiric Blood Rage: A newly raised Vampire rises with insatiable hunger and goes on a mindless rage. To end this they must drain 10 Endurance ranks worth of blood They rise with a Full Heal when the rage starts. 

   4. When a  vampire drains a point of damage to that location every 5 seconds, after which the vampire gains a point of healing (allocated by them). On a failed save the  victim is infected with a disease. If you are drained of all blood you are dead (no death count)

   5. Seduction has been replaced with Hynpnotic Gaze (instant snake eyes with a save)

   6. Holy symbols blood cost does not stack. 

3. Taint and Corruption:

   1. Taint takes over your soul and destroys it. It can only be fixed by a High priest/ess of Amroth (if it's Demon taint) or Death (if it's Undead taint).

   2. Corruption taints the body making  the target EVIL, if they are already evil then they become more evil. It can usually be fixed by a Greater Ritual unless it has been allowed to fester for too long (how long this is is ref discretion).

4. Death clerics:

   1. Can now choose to take either Turn/Detect:

      1. Undead

      2. Fey

5. Kesoth and Amrothian clerics:

   1. Can now choose to take either Turn/Detect:

      1. Undead

      2. Demon

6. Krynok clerics:

   1. Can now choose to take either Turn/Detect:

2. Chaos Bolt:

   1. The effects of this spell change every day on the midnight rush (Unless Chaos says it changes sooner or later, cause you know, chaos.

   2. The Chaos Bolt Spell table is on page 74 (not a change but this makes it slightly easier to find).

3. Shock:

   1. This spell has no save.

4. The Ultimate Gamble:

   1. No longer exists, has been replaced with the spell ‘Heads I win…’

      1. The Caster must flip a coin, magically conjured by chaos. This must be phys repped. Head, the target will be removed from the plane entirely, and cannot be resurrected - only reincarnated.

• • 1. Changeling: Caster can designate 2 targets, one of which may be themselves, and perform a switch, in which one person or one non-magical item is swapped for another of similar mass (i.e. you can swap a fat man for a small dwarf, but not a button for ship). This spell is used in two stages. During the initial stage, the spell is cast and the spell points expended. The caster tags both objects or individuals at the same time. The second stage of the spell can happen at any time in the following 28 days. By saying the words 'activate changeling' and naming both objects, the objects are instantaneously swapped. The caster should call a time freeze for the swap to take place. This swap will occur regardless of the location of both individuals or items at the time of activation; distance or planar divide is no object. Note: An object cannot be switched for a person.

1. Irresistible Pain:

   1. The spell Irresistible Pain has been name changed to ‘Agony’ (the effect is still the same but now the target can use spells or special skills to resist it, this is different to the call Irresistible Pain which is a call called only by the refs and is a product of very powerful beings (Pit Lords, Gods, Eldar Fey, other eldritch creatures). Note: The lvl 1 Amarothian spell has been changed to account for this as well, it affects the Kesoth spell and other pain sources specifically not the ref call Irresistible Pain.

2. Heat Armour:

   1. The effects of Heat Armour work on any type of armour (leather and fur as well as metal), but each point of damage is every 10 seconds not every 5. It still only affects armour that is worn and used as armour, a person wearing fur for the part but not gaining any ranks of armour from it cannot be affected by this spell.

3. Tomb Rot:

   1. The damage caused by Tomb Rot is Effect Damage due to it being a horrible magical disease.

4. Plate Self:

   1. This spell also has the ability to no effect the next harmful spell cast at the target.

5. Saving Grace:

   1. The effects of this spell do not extend to armour even natural armour. Damage landing on the armour is taken as normal.

6. Heal:

   1. With this spell the Shaman may call upon the powers of Nature to aid in the healing of a wound. This restores 1 point of healing to the touched location. (the  ‘once per hour per location’ restriction has been removed).

7. Nature's Guardian:

   1. The summoned Guardian has lvl 6 shamanic magic and 20 spell points.

8. Undeath:

   1. Now costs permanent spell points to cast.

9. Summon Earth Elemental:

   1. Changed: This spell summons forth magical energy from the elemental plains and animates it into a humanoid form that will serve the caster for fifteen minutes. The elemental has the following skills and abilities:

      1. Endurance rank IV

      2. Immunity to normal damage

      3. Double Enchanted damage

   2. The summoned elemental can be of any of the 4 main elements, the caster can specify which by adding the element into the spell call (e.g. By The Elements Summon Water Elemental), or leave it up to the refs (By The Elements Summon Elemental). There is no mechanical difference between the summons when it comes to elements, it is purely up to the preference of the Caster.

10. Dispel is now a 15 minute long duration rather than 1 hour.

11. Freeze Armour has been changed to being able to hear, but see nothing beyond a blur.

New Skills:

1. Scroll Lore: 

This skill allows a character to create scrolls in which spells can be stored for later use. A spell cast into a scroll keeps the spell points necessary for the level cast and are released upon such a time. As such, the caster loses those spell points until they are released by the scroll. A scroll costs a silver to make, and a certain number of spell points cast by the maker these are regained at the magic rush, after they are made a spell can be placed into the scroll at any point by any spellcaster, these are not regained at magic rush. There are caveats on spells put into scrolls scrolls: Spell effects that do not have an external target or an area of effect (i.e. self only) can never be placed into scrolls. Spells with variable effects must have the effect chosen and stated when placed on the scroll. A scroll lasts as long as it’s spell level in weeks after which they lose their magic capability, becoming nothing more than paper once more (as if the scroll had been used). 

You can craft 5 scrolls a week. 

This skill has no ranks, you just now have the ability to make scroll paper.
