✅Brass Speech - Autmaton? Languagee
✅Predecessant Pre-scream Mandate English
☑️Preterite Understandability lost to time, thus not learn-able
✅Abased - "Outsider toungue" This language structure is for outsiders, and demonic/devilish entities within the world of Calypso. The overall language represents a vast array of languages of many outsiders, and is a pidgin form of language that stands in place of common Atlassian
✅Recurrent of Elves
✅Deep Speech of Dwarves : Includes dialect Gimdanthûl
✅Anakim - A barbaric language of snarls and grunts used by the Anak people.
Custom to server:
✅High Jahori - A language used in many botanical, magical and medical texts. It's origins are unknown an it is an outdated language. Though still studied by some scholars of the biological arts. (Think of this as the world's latin, or draconic from D&D)
✅Kosian - A language used by the tribes of the Kosian desert, it is smooth with long vowels.
✅Atlassian - The common language of the world. Every character knows this language unless they choose not to, it is the Book's Trade Cant.
✅Cay-opu - A slow hard language of the Cay-opu people.
The Cay-Opu are a furred mammalian race slightly larger than a large human. The origins of the Cay-Opu are intertwined with the humans of Calypso, evolving through the legacy alongside their fur-less brothers. They are a race mired in violence willing and capable of tearing their enemies apart, limb by limb.
Level 1: Aptitude for Violence: Gain an additional +1 to attack bonus, Stab or Punch +1 level
Level 2: The old Ultra-Violence: increase Strength by 2 Points, Gain Stab or Punch +1 level, you can make two melee attacks on the same turn once per scene.
Image Source: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/512917845061190622/Level 1: Gain Stab as a bonus skill. Two one-handed weapons can be carried Readied without costing Encumbrance. While dual wielding, your AC increases by +1. Once per scene, you can use the Dual Feint action.
Level 2: Ignore the hit penalty to dual wielding. By pushing yourself, you can use Dual Feint more than once per scene; each use after the first adds one System Strain.
Dual Feint: Confuse your enemy with multiple feints before striking. As an Instant action, when you miss, make another attack roll with either weapon at +2 to hit.
War Caster
[Adapted from SWN deluxe edition] Your hero is accustomed to casting in combat and can keep focus when less hardened minds would be hopelessly distracted by pain.
Level 1: When attacked while casting a spell, you may make a Physical saving throw at a penalty equal to any damage taken to avoid losing it. Even if your spell is interrupted, you do not lose the spell slot; only your action is wasted though you cannot cast another spell the next round.
Level 2: Whenever you would lose a spell to an interruption, accept damage equal to twice the spell’s level to continue casting it. If this damage would reduce you to zero hit points, you complete the casting before passing out, stable but at zero HP.
Arcane Inquest
[Adapted from SWN deluxe edition] This arcane focus is special in that it can be taken by anyone even those without a mage class but not at the same time as Nullifier. It reflects a limited or partial study of the arcane arts, just enough to master the casting of a handful of spells. A spellcasting mage may also take it, to reflect an outside research topic, but they cannot cast these learned spells with their usual spell slots.
Level 1: You may learn a single spell of a level no greater than half your own, rounded up. You can change this spell once per level if you can find a tutor for the spell you want to study. You do not need to prepare this spell, and can cast it once per day. Your familiarity with it is such that you can even cast it while wearing armour, without needing Armoured Magic. The spell is cast using your full character level for any level-dependent effects.
Level 2: Your limited study has expanded. You may learn a second spell of a level no greater than half your character level, rounded down. You may cast this spell once per day with the same limits as above.
Cavalier
Gain ride as a bonus skill. On a charge while mounted, both rider and mount roll damage twice, taking the better result. Due to your expertise in the equine arts, you may dismount and mount as an on-turn action instead of a move action. However, if the mount has taken a move action with you on it, you cannot use your move action to move.
A cavalier may elect to train up a warhorse from a riding horse, which will take 1 month-their ride skill*weeks(minimum 1 week). The cavalier may have at most 2 warhorses trained in such a manner at a given time, and may not sell them, as they are too personalized to the cavalier's preferences. This DT goes by the server's rulings for DT during missions if applicable.

Arcane Ammunition is arrows or crossbow bolts that possess certain magical effects as dictated by their description. They come in bundles of 5 with an ENC of 1 per bundle. They could not be bought, only crafted, at a cost of 5k SP per bundle (6k for the Frigid Arrows) at a crafting difficulty of 8 or 9, found in missions or given as rewards. They count as magical items and as such operate under the standard rules for crafting this type of item.
---
Homing Arrows
These enchanted arrows know what creature you're targeting and will move of their own volition to strike it. When this ammunition is fired from your weapon it gains a Shock of 1/AC 10+half of the bow's damage dice. The Shock damage increases to 2 if fired from a Masterwork or Magical weapon.
For example: A Bow, Short has a damage of 1d6, so it's shock would be 1/AC13 when these arrows are fired from it.
They come in bundles of 5, with each bundle weighing 1ENC. They may only be crafted either by oneself or through commission or found, but never bought. The crafting cost of a bundle is 5,000SP with a difficulty of 8.
Entangling Arrows
Upon a successful hit these enchanted arrows suddenly unravel into a mess of vines. Targets must make a Physical Save or become stuck in place for 1d4 rounds.
Acquisition, cost and bundle weight are the same as Homing Arrows.
Frigid Arrows
When fired at a surface these arrows shatter and instantly freeze a 10x5 area around the impact that last for 1d4 rounds. Any creature walking over this surface must make a Physical Save or be knocked prone for the round. If fired at a specific creature, then the creature must make a Physical Save have it's movement halved for the round.
Acquisition, and bundle weight are the same as Homing Arrows, but the cost per bundle is 6,000SP and a crafting difficulty of 9.
Dazzling Arrows
These enchanted arrows emits a magical, non-damaging flame. When fired the flame can be commanded to expand and hold at any point in it's path, illuminating it's surrounding in a 20x20 area for 1 round. Any creatures caught in this radius must make a Mental or Evasion Save or be stunned for 1 round.
This ability does not effect those unable to see the light or those who possess magical sight that would grant immunity to such a light.
Acquisition, cost and bundle weight are the same as Homing Arrows.
