Stamina

2026-04-02T11:09:48Z

Kayleigh.whybrow: /* Skills That Grant Stamina */

While Magicians channel external power, [[Warrior]] and [[Scout]] draw on their own reserves of focus and determination. This inner fire is known as ''stamina''. It fuels devastating blows, precision strikes, and acts of endurance. Stamina is an expression of will that has been shaped by training, which means that every Warrior and Scout uses it in their own unique way.

Characters who can draw on their own stamina to fuel abilities and skills in this way do so by spending ''stamina points''. ''Stamina points'' are an out-of-character game mechanic which represent how big a character's reserves of stamina are within the world of the game. This mechanic also allows a player to track how many times they can use abilities and skills which are powered by stamina points before they run out of power. Many skills which use stamina points are shared between the Warrior and Scout archetypes.

There are two main types of stamina use:

* ''Combat techniques:'' Warriors may use stamina to power strong attacks, support defensive manoeuvres, and achieve other feats of physical dominance. Warrior techniques which use stamina are generally quick and have immediate effects.
* ''Field skills:'' Scouts may use stamina to power feats of endurance, precision and cunning. These could include, for example, tracking prey effectively, or landing a perfectly-placed strike.

{| class="wikitable" style="background-color: #ECE2FF"
|-
| '''Sources of Strength'''

Players will be able to discover more information about how stamina functions within the world of '''''Renewal''''' as they play the game. However, the ways in which Warriors and Scouts draw on this power are as varied as those who use it.

For example, a highly-disciplined soldier could draw on years of drilled training, their body responding to muscle memory which has been honed by countless repetition. A berserker might channel raw fury, burning through their reserves in a blaze of violence. A cunning rogue could rely on nerve and perfect timing, expending their stamina in one decisive moment. A patient hunter might draw on stillness and concentration, waiting for the perfect shot.

In terms of game mechanics, the source of a character's stamina has little effect or impact, but it could inform roleplay, and may play a significant role in [[Research|research]].

== Stamina Points ==

Certain skills grant '''stamina points'''. Each such skill grants '''5 stamina points per day''', up to a '''maximum of 25 stamina''' from skills. A character's archetype determines their overall stamina cap, which may limit how many skills contribute:

* No primary archetype: 15 stamina maximum (can benefit from up to 3 skills)
* Warrior or Scout archetype: 30 stamina maximum (can benefit from up to 5 skills)

Characters who have not reached their cap from skills alone can purchase additional stamina via the skill [[Extra Stamina]].

Unless otherwise indicated, characters start the game each day with the full amount of stamina points that they are able to receive.

Player characters who use skills which are powered by stamina should have a visible means of tracking their stamina points, and they must keep it on their person at all times.

==== Skills That Grant Stamina ====

The following skills grant stamina points. Each skill grants up to '''5 points''' per day, but only the first five skills contribute points. See [[Character_Creation#Magic_Points,_Stamina_and_Work_Units|Magic Points, Stamina and Work Units]] for stacking rules and caps.

== Using Stamina ==

Warrior and scout abilities which are powered by stamina have a stamina cost to use them. The character must spend the stated amount of stamina points to activate the ability. If the character does not have enough stamina points, they cannot use the ability.

Kayleigh.whybrow: /* Resistances */

All standard skills can be chosen at [[Character Creation|character creation]] or [[Character Progression|learned later on]], provided the character meets the prerequisites and has not reached their [[Character Progression#Points Cap|points cap]].

Skill descriptions include the following details:

:* '''Type:''' There are two broad levels of skill: '''[[#General Skills|general skills]]''', which anyone can learn at any time, and '''archetype skills''', which are specific to one or more of the four archetypes: [[#Creator Skills|creator]], [[#Magician Skills|magician]], [[#Scout Skills|scout]] and [[#Warrior Skills|warrior]]. Characters can learn skills outside their own archetype, but are limited in how many points they can spend on them.
:* '''Use:''' Not every skill can be used equally readily. Some skills are '''permanent''' and constantly active; some need to be activated, but can be used '''at will'''; some can be used '''once per day''' or '''twice per day'''. Some cost '''[[Character_Creation#Magic_Points,_Stamina_and_Work_Units|stamina points]]''', '''[[Magic#Magic Points|magic points]]''' or '''[[Creation#Work Units|work units]]''' to use, instead of having a specified number of uses; the number of points a character receives per day is partly based on the number of these skills they know.
:* '''Cost:''' The cost in '''experience points''' to choose the skill at [[Character Creation#Skills|character creation]] or through [[Character Progression#Experience|experience]]. Skills can alternatively be [[Training|trained]] at a cost in [[Character Progression#Study Units|study units]], which does not cost experience, but the point value is still added to the character's total, counting against their [[Character Progression#Points Cap|points cap]].
:* '''Prerequisites:''' Most archetype skills have other skills as '''prerequisites''', or are limited to characters from that archetype (they cannot be learned as [[Character Creation#Cross-Archetype Skills|cross-archetype skills]]). Some have multiple prerequisites (such as [[Demonology]], which requires both [[Elemental Spellcasting]] ''and'' [[Spiritual Spellcasting]]), while some have alternative prerequisites (such as [[Chameleon]], which requires knowledge of either [[Ranger]] ''or'' [[Scoundrel]]).
:* '''Progression:''' Many skills are, in turn, prerequisites for other skills, listed here for reference.

Note that some skills (marked here with a *) require absolute focus. Any character can know at most '''one''' of these skills.

==General Skills==

General skills are available to everyone, both at character creation and via experience or through training, with no restrictions aside from their total [[Character Progression#Points Cap|points cap]].

==Creator Skills==

No character can learn more than one Pinnacle skill (marked with * below).

| Description || The character can spend '''10 magic points''' to temporarily harden their body, declaring Corporeal Reinforcement. This is not a spell or rite, but an intuitive ability arising from the character's connection to corporeal magic.

For '''one minute''' afterwards, they take reduced damage from Corporeal and Mundane damage sources as follows:

:* [[Calls#Wounding|Wounding]] and Corporeal Wounding inflict a single physical hit to the location struck, ignoring armour.
:* [[Calls#Smite|Smite]] and Corporeal Smite reduce the location to zero armour hits (if any) and inflict a single physical hit to the location struck.
:* [[Calls#Crush|Crush]] and Corporeal Crush inflict a single physical hit if the location is unarmoured or has no armour hits.

Damage calls accompanied with the damage types [[Calls#Damage Type|Elemental, Spiritual or Artefact]] have their normal effect.

'''Note:''' The number of magic points the character receives each day depends on how many skills they know that grant magic points. See [[Character_Creation#Magic_Points,_Stamina_and_Work_Units|Magic Points, Stamina and Work Units]].

Skills List

2026-04-02T10:52:50Z

Kayleigh.whybrow: /* Corporeal Sorcery */

All standard skills can be chosen at [[Character Creation|character creation]] or [[Character Progression|learned later on]], provided the character meets the prerequisites and has not reached their [[Character Progression#Points Cap|points cap]].

Skill descriptions include the following details:

:* '''Type:''' There are two broad levels of skill: '''[[#General Skills|general skills]]''', which anyone can learn at any time, and '''archetype skills''', which are specific to one or more of the four archetypes: [[#Creator Skills|creator]], [[#Magician Skills|magician]], [[#Scout Skills|scout]] and [[#Warrior Skills|warrior]]. Characters can learn skills outside their own archetype, but are limited in how many points they can spend on them.
:* '''Use:''' Not every skill can be used equally readily. Some skills are '''permanent''' and constantly active; some need to be activated, but can be used '''at will'''; some can be used '''once per day''' or '''twice per day'''. Some cost '''[[Character_Creation#Magic_Points,_Stamina_and_Work_Units|stamina points]]''', '''[[Magic#Magic Points|magic points]]''' or '''[[Creation#Work Units|work units]]''' to use, instead of having a specified number of uses; the number of points a character receives per day is partly based on the number of these skills they know.
:* '''Cost:''' The cost in '''experience points''' to choose the skill at [[Character Creation#Skills|character creation]] or through [[Character Progression#Experience|experience]]. Skills can alternatively be [[Training|trained]] at a cost in [[Character Progression#Study Units|study units]], which does not cost experience, but the point value is still added to the character's total, counting against their [[Character Progression#Points Cap|points cap]].
:* '''Prerequisites:''' Most archetype skills have other skills as '''prerequisites''', or are limited to characters from that archetype (they cannot be learned as [[Character Creation#Cross-Archetype Skills|cross-archetype skills]]). Some have multiple prerequisites (such as [[Demonology]], which requires both [[Elemental Spellcasting]] ''and'' [[Spiritual Spellcasting]]), while some have alternative prerequisites (such as [[Chameleon]], which requires knowledge of either [[Ranger]] ''or'' [[Scoundrel]]).
:* '''Progression:''' Many skills are, in turn, prerequisites for other skills, listed here for reference.

Note that some skills (marked here with a *) require absolute focus. Any character can know at most '''one''' of these skills.

==General Skills==

General skills are available to everyone, both at character creation and via experience or through training, with no restrictions aside from their total [[Character Progression#Points Cap|points cap]].

==Creator Skills==

No character can learn more than one Pinnacle skill (marked with * below).

Kayleigh.whybrow:

All standard skills can be chosen at [[Character Creation|character creation]] or [[Character Progression|learned later on]], provided the character meets the prerequisites and has not reached their [[Character Progression#Points Cap|points cap]].

Skill descriptions include the following details:

:* '''Type:''' There are two broad levels of skill: '''[[#General Skills|general skills]]''', which anyone can learn at any time, and '''archetype skills''', which are specific to one or more of the four archetypes: [[#Creator Skills|creator]], [[#Magician Skills|magician]], [[#Scout Skills|scout]] and [[#Warrior Skills|warrior]]. Characters can learn skills outside their own archetype, but are limited in how many points they can spend on them.
:* '''Use:''' Not every skill can be used equally readily. Some skills are '''permanent''' and constantly active; some need to be activated, but can be used '''at will'''; some can be used '''once per day''' or '''twice per day'''. Some cost '''[[Character_Creation#Magic_Points,_Stamina_and_Work_Units|stamina points]]''', '''[[Magic#Magic Points|magic points]]''' or '''[[Creation#Work Units|work units]]''' to use, instead of having a specified number of uses; the number of points a character receives per day is partly based on the number of these skills they know.
:* '''Cost:''' The cost in '''experience points''' to choose the skill at [[Character Creation#Skills|character creation]] or through [[Character Progression#Experience|experience]]. Skills can alternatively be [[Training|trained]] at a cost in [[Character Progression#Study Units|study units]], which does not cost experience, but the point value is still added to the character's total, counting against their [[Character Progression#Points Cap|points cap]].
:* '''Prerequisites:''' Most archetype skills have other skills as '''prerequisites''', or are limited to characters from that archetype (they cannot be learned as [[Character Creation#Cross-Archetype Skills|cross-archetype skills]]). Some have multiple prerequisites (such as [[Demonology]], which requires both [[Elemental Spellcasting]] ''and'' [[Spiritual Spellcasting]]), while some have alternative prerequisites (such as [[Chameleon]], which requires knowledge of either [[Ranger]] ''or'' [[Scoundrel]]).
:* '''Progression:''' Many skills are, in turn, prerequisites for other skills, listed here for reference.

Note that some skills (marked here with a *) require absolute focus. Any character can know at most '''one''' of these skills.

==General Skills==

General skills are available to everyone, both at character creation and via experience or through training, with no restrictions aside from their total [[Character Progression#Points Cap|points cap]].

* For '''2 stamina''' per use, call Mundane [[Entangle]] with a strike to the target. This cannot be stacked with magical calls or blade venoms.
* For '''2 stamina''' per use, resist a knockdown effect. This does not prevent damage from weapon blows or spells in any way. Does not prevent the knockdown effect of [[Calls#Strength|Strength]].
* For '''2 stamina''' per use, resist a [[Sleep]] effect.

'''Note:''' The number of stamina points the character receives each day depends on how many skills they know that use them, see [[Character_Creation#Magic_Points,_Stamina_and_Work_Units|Magic Points, Stamina and Work Units]].

Resource Collection

2026-04-02T08:22:26Z

Kayleigh.whybrow:

In addition to the separate [[Income]] and [[Resources]] skills, there are three "resource collection" skills in the '''''Renewal''''' campaign, which allow the character, after a suitable period of roleplaying, to go to the Game Organisational Desk and be granted carded in character resources, as follows:

:* '''[[Foraging]]:''' Raw alchemy ingredients, such as herbs, venoms and blood from rare creatures.
:* '''[[Gathering]]:''' Raw crafting materials such as timber or hide.
:* '''[[Scrounging]]:''' Coins, small crafted items or other minor valuables.

All skills function the same way: the player reports to the Game Organisational Desk and draws a coloured ball from a bag, with the colours denoting different degrees of success. Black balls denote failure, with some harmful or complicating fall-out (see below). Players using [[Foraging]] or [[Gathering]] may choose to look for a specific ingredient or just accept what they find; in the latter case, they will find more ingredients.

Each of these skills can be used once per day; this means that a character with all three skills can collect resources a total of three times per day, using each skill once.

'''Note:''' The location of the Game Organisational Desk (GOD) will always be marked on the event map circulated prior to every event.

====Black Ball Outcomes====

Black balls represent misfortune or calamity occurring while undertaking the activity. The consequences may vary from event to event. At some events, drawing a black ball may direct you to a specific location or referee and trigger an encounter. At others, you may receive a self-reffed or roleplay effect card representing hazards such as poisonous stings or bites, diseases, broken tools or weapons, temporary enchantments or possession, or getting lost in the woods.

As a general rule, drawing a black ball means no benefit is gained from the activity. However, at some events you may still receive some resources even when triggering a black ball, depending on the nature of the encounter or effect.

==Ether Fissures==

In addition to the resource collection skills above, characters with the [[Charm Invocation]] skill may harvest [[Rituals#Ether Spheres|ether spheres]] from '''ether fissures''' that occasionally appear in the world. Ether spheres are powerful magical resources used in [[Rituals|ritual magic]].

===Scheduled Fissure Encounters===

Ether fissure encounters are scheduled in advance at each event. Your faction's command team will be notified of your allocated time slots, so you have the opportunity to be in the right place and join the encounter.

:* One or more factions may be scheduled into each slot.
:* Other NPC parties may also attempt to harvest the ether, so there is still an element of competition for resources.
:* Players should report to Ref HQ (or another designated location) '''before''' their slot begins. Please be prompt, as delays can impact later slots.
:* From there, you will be taken to the ether fissure location and the encounter will ensue.

Once at the fissure, the [[Capture Ether]] rite can be performed to harvest ether into glass spheres. A character with the [[Ritual Magic]] skill can "see" a live fissure and indicate where the rite must be performed.

We have moved to scheduled fissure encounters to improve accessibility. Previously, fissures were announced via radio call with a limited time window, which created challenges for players who did not hear the call, or who had mobility or fatigue limitations that made crossing the site quickly difficult. The scheduled system ensures everyone has a fair opportunity to participate.

|-
| Range || 30ft / 10m
|-

|-
| Description || The caster names a '''single item''' held by the target. The target is forced to drop that item immediately and cannot pick it up again for '''3 seconds.''' as their hand suffers from tremors.

The item must be dropped immediately and not swapped to another hand or otherwise salvaged, although items may be placed safely out of the way if they cannot be safely dropped, such as during a battle.

'''Note:''' This spell does not directly affect the object in the target's hands, and so functions even if the item is enchanted, fashioned from cold iron or otherwise protected from magic.

This spell may be resisted by the skill [[Iron Body]].

Leyline Magic

2026-04-01T21:45:53Z

Kayleigh.whybrow:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Name !! Special
|-
| Length || Average (5 Minutes)
|-
| Range|| 5ft / 1.5m
|-
| Duration || Instantaneous
|-
| Cost || None
|-
| Material Cost || 1 unit of powdered gemstone
|-
| Key Words || Ritual Magic
|-
| Description || This rite must be performed over a [[Rituals#Leylines|leyline]], which can be detected using the [[Ritual Magic]] skill.

As well as knowledge of this rite, the performer (or performers) need a certain combined [[Rituals#Power, Skill and Sacrifice|ritual skill]].

The length of the rite and the ritual skill required depend on the power of the leyline.

:* '''Lesser leyline power:''' A short rite (2 minutes) and 3 ritual skill points.
:* '''Average leyline power:''' An average rite (5 minutes) and 6 ritual skill points.
:* '''Greater leyline power:''' A long rite (10 minutes) and 9 ritual skill points.

If successful, this rite can generate an instantaneous, dramatic effect, depending on the power of the leyline:

:* A lesser leyline can power one casting of one [[Calls#Mass Calls|mass]] spell, such as Mass Elemental Missile.
:* An average leyline can power three simultaneous castings of any exalted spell
:* A greater leyline can power vast, battlefield-spanning effects including earthquakes and firestorms (subject to referee interpretation)

The rite may fail, causing an immediate, destructive backlash, if any of the following occurs:

:* The rite is interrupted
:* The performers have insufficient skill
:* The performers attempt something beyond the leyline’s capacity
:* The rite’s intentions are unclear
:* Another group of performers attempts to tap the same leyline while the rite is ongoing

Even if all requirements are met and the rite is performed perfectly, the outcome is subject to a random chance:

:* One time in three, the rite will fail and inflict backlash
:* One time in three, the rite will succeed and inflict backlash
:* One time in three, the rite will succeed as intended

These chances may be improved with [[Research|research]], although there is always a chance of backlash.

'''Note:''' This skill is intended to be reactive to effects occurring on the battlefield and not for the creation of items, temporary or otherwise.

Character Creation

2026-04-01T20:27:24Z

Kayleigh.whybrow: /* Stamina */

Characters are logged on the [https://www.curiouspastimes.co.uk/dashboard/characters/ Curious Pastimes portal], which also allows you to track [[Character Progression|progression]]. You can have only one active character in the system at a time; once a character is retired or dies, it is out of play (i.e. you may not switch back and forth between characters from event to event).

What follows is the ''mechanics'' of character creation: archetypes, skills and so on. If you’re feeling a little lost, head over to ''[[Making Your Character]]'' for some tips on coming up with a concept, background and look for your character.

==Archetypes==

Most characters in the Renewal campaign belong to one of four '''archetypes''', broad character classes that unlock more powerful skills and avenues for research. They’re described in more detail in the relevant sections:

:*'''[[Creator]]:''' Whether weavers or alchemists, blacksmiths or surgeons, tattooists or jewellers, creators are artists who make, repair and alter lasting things.
:*'''[[Magician]]:''' Spellcasters, enchanters, summoners and necromancers, ritualists and oracles – magicians are scholars who channel magic and work miracles.
:*'''[[Scout]]:''' From burglars, assassins and pickpockets, to sappers and siege engineers, to trackers and hunters, scouts rely on wits, skills and guile to survive.
:*'''[[Warrior]]:''' Thugs and berserkers, duellists and tacticians, monster hunters and warleaders alike, warriors master all the arts and modes of warfare.

Archetypes are similar to “character classes” in tabletop or computer RPGs, but less rigidly defined, providing access to a range of '''[[#Archetype Skills|archetype skills]]''' rather than a set progression.

Each archetype also includes some suggested '''[[Character Progression#Study Paths|study paths]]''' for further [[Research|research]]. '''Most characters may pursue up to three study paths''', in any archetypes, and may develop '''one''' to the highest [[Character Progression#Complexity and Skill Level|levels]].

Finally, each archetype offers some ready-made example characters for inspiration.

'''You don’t need to choose your character’s archetype until they learn their first archetype skill;''' but once chosen, their archetype is fixed (although see ''[[Character Creation#Changing Your Mind|Changing Your Mind]]'').

{| class="wikitable" id="Race" style="background-color: #ECE2FF"
|-
| '''Race'''

Race no longer plays any part in character creation in the '''''Renewal''''' campaign, or indeed in the setting at all. Your character may belong to a specific local “culture” that may or may not have a distinctive appearance associated with it, but it won’t affect which skills you can learn. See [[Making Your Character#Can I Play An Elf?|''Can I Play An Elf?'']] for more on this topic.
|}

==Skills==

Your character starts with '''20 experience points''' to spend on general and archetype skills. You don’t have to spend all your points up front; unspent points may be held back for later use.

The following restrictions apply:

:* '''Archetype:''' You must choose an archetype (see above) to take your first archetype skill, but once you have done so, you can choose whatever skills you like from your archetype’s list (provided you meet the prerequisites).
:* '''Cross-Archetype Skills:''' You can learn some skills from other archetypes, but may learn no more than '''one''' point worth of [[#Cross-Archetype Skills|cross-archetype skills]] for every '''two''' points worth of general skills and skills from your own archetype, combined.
:* '''Prerequisites:''' Most archetype skills require you to know other skills before you can learn them, and many of the more powerful skills are limited to that archetype (i.e. they cannot be learned as cross-archetype skills). Skills are listed with their prerequisites.
:* '''Pinnacle Skills:''' The most advanced skills (marked with a * on the archetype skill tables) require absolute focus and dedication. You must belong to the relevant archetype and cannot learn more than '''one''' such skill.
:* '''Points Cap:''' There is a limit to mortals’ potential to learn. No normal mortal character can learn [[Character Progression#Points Cap|more than '''100''' experience points]] worth of skills, including abilities gained via magic.
:* '''No Repeat Picks:''' All skills may be learned at most '''once''' each, unless they stipulate otherwise (i.e. [[Extra Magic Points]], [[Extra Work Units]], [[Income]] and [[Resources]]).

Some skills use [[Magic#Magic Points|magic points]] or [[Crafting#Work Units|work units]], or have a set number of uses per day.

A full list of all [[#General Skills|general]] and [[#Archetype Skills|archetype]] skills can be found at ''[[Skills List]]''. They are also laid out in a visual diagram at ''[[Skills Map]]''.

{| class="wikitable" id="Things That Aren't Skills" style="background-color: #ECE2FF"
|-
| '''Things That Aren’t Skills'''

You don’t need skills for everything! All characters in the '''''Renewal''''' campaign can perform the following actions without having to buy skills with experience points:

:* Read and write
:* Count and perform arithmetic
:* Make and read maps
:* Fight with [[Weapon Categories|small and one-handed weapons]]

Note that fighting with ''two'' weapons (whether two small weapons, or two one-handed weapons, or one small and one one-handed) requires the [[Two Weapons]] skill.
|}

==General Skills==

General skills are available to everyone, both at character creation and via experience or through training, with no restrictions aside from their total point cap.

These skills provide the foundation of every progression path in the game, from core weapon training to the simplest crafting designs, for basic skulking and tracking techniques or the least powerful spells.

{{General Skills}}

==Archetype Skills==

Archetype skills are the more advanced techniques known to accomplished experts in their fields, such as a warrior’s trick moves and mighty blows, or a magician’s mighty sorceries and esoteric workings.

Almost all archetype skills require prerequisites; most are organised into “skill trees” with multiple levels of prerequisites.

See each archetype page ([[Creator]], [[Magician]], [[Scout]] and [[Warrior]]) for a list of their archetype skills.

====Cross-Archetype Skills====

Not everyone fits neatly into one of the four archetypes, of course – you may wish to play a spellcasting warrior or a crafter trained in siege weaponry. This is fine, with two restrictions:

:* Any character can have a maximum of '''1 point''' worth of skills in '''other archetypes''' for every '''2 points''' worth of skills they have in their '''main archetype and general skills combined'''.
:* No character may have more points worth of skills in all other archetypes combined than they have skills in their main archetype.

This limitation doesn’t apply to [[#General Skills|general skills]] at all; you can always learn as many of them as you wish.

:'''Example'''
:Hunter of undead Torian Gravearrow, with the magician archetype, has the '''general''' skills [[Body Development]] (6 points), [[Corporeal Spellcasting]] (6 points), [[Iron Will]] (6 points), [[Light Armour]] (2 points), [[Spiritual Spellcasting]] (6 points) and [[Two Weapons]] (3 points), and the '''magician''' skills [[Greater Corporeal Spellcasting]] (8 points), [[Immune to Mind Effect|Immune to Enthral]] (6 points) and [[Necromancy]] (8 points). This comes to a total of 51 points worth of skills, including 22 magician skills.
:This allows them to learn the '''warrior''' skills [[Armoured Caster]] (8 points), [[Greater Body Development]] (6 points) and [[Medium Armour]] (2 points) and the '''scout''' skill Tracking Proficiency (5 points), for a total of 21 points worth of cross-archetype skills.

== Magic Points, Stamina and Work Units ==

Characters may have access to one or more of the following pools:

* '''Magic points''' fuel spells, rites, invocations and other sorcerous acts.
* '''Stamina''' fuels warrior and scout combat techniques and abilities.
* '''Work units''' drive crafting, surgery, alchemy and other actions that create or alter things.

These pools are shared between all relevant skills. Anyone with stamina-granting skills has a single pool of stamina, which they may spend on any known stamina abilities. Anyone with magic skills has a single pool of magic points, which they may spend on any known spells, rites or other magical abilities. Anyone with creation skills has a single pool of work units, which they may spend on any of their creation skills.

All pools refresh to full every morning at Time In.

=== Point Caps ===

Each skill that grants a particular type of points adds 5 to that pool. However, only the first five such skills contribute — any skills beyond the fifth grant no further points. This means skills alone can grant up to 25 points to any single pool, subject to the archetype caps below.

Characters can purchase [[Extra Stamina]], [[Extra Magic Points]] or [[Extra Work Units]] to increase their pools beyond what skills provide. The prerequisite for each is any skill which grants that type.

The maximum points a character can have depends on whether they have selected a primary archetype:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Pool !! No Primary Archetype !! Primary Archetype
|-
| Stamina || 15 || 30 ([[Warrior]] or [[Scout]])
|-
| Magic Points || 15 || 30 ([[Magician]])
|-
| Work Units || 15 || 25 ([[Creator]])
|}

=== Resource-Granting Skills ===

The following skills grant points to their respective resource pools. Each skill grants up to '''5 points''' per day, but only the first five skills in each category contribute points. See [[Character_Creation#Magic_Points,_Stamina_and_Work_Units|Magic Points, Stamina and Work Units]] for stacking rules and caps.

| || || [[Amalgams]] || Alchemy Path
|-
| || || [[Antidotes]] || Alchemy Path
|-
| || || [[Anatomist]] || Surgery Path
|-
| || || [[Tattooist]] || Surgery Path
|}

'''Note:''' [[Surgery]] does '''not''' grant work units.

=== Examples ===

''Lellian of the Forge'' has the skills Artisan, Blacksmith, Weaponsmith and Creator archetype, granting them 15 work units from skills. They purchase 10 levels of Extra Work Units, giving them 25 work units per day (the Creator maximum).

''Kira Shieldbreaker'' has the skills Body Development, Ranger, Scoundrel, Defender, Brawler and Warrior archetype — five skills that grant stamina. Only the first five contribute points, so they have 25 stamina from skills rather than 30. They purchase 5 levels of Extra Stamina, giving them 30 stamina per day (the Warrior maximum).

''Theron the Wanderer'' has Body Development, Corporeal Spellcasting, and Artisan but no primary archetype. They have 5 stamina, 5 magic points, and 5 work units from skills. They could purchase up to 10 Extra Stamina (for 15 total), 10 Extra Magic Points (for 15 total), and 10 Extra Work Units (for 15 total) — but no more, as 15 is the cap for characters without a primary archetype.

== Boons ==

Some abilities grant '''boons''', ongoing magical benefits that provide charges or passive effects. Boons may be granted by [[Rites|rites]], [[Surgery|surgical procedures]], [[Alchemy|alchemical preparations]] or other sources.

A character may only have '''three active boons''' at any given time, regardless of source. If a character already has three boons and receives another, they must choose which boon to lose. See [[Rites#Boons|Boons]] for more details.

==Character Cards==

All of your skills will be assigned to you on your '''character card'''. This card is given to you at the [[General Rules#Game Organisation Desk|'''game organisation desk''']] at the beginning of every event and includes the following information:
:*Your name
:*Your character name
:*Your faction
:*The event details
:*Your character skills

You must have your character card with you at all times during the event and it must be easily accessible in case of emergency. If your character dies or you choose to retire them during an event, the Game Organisation Desk will produce a new character card for you.

If you gain any skills during the game in addition to the permanent skills listed on your character card, you will be issued a [[Character Progression#Special Characters|'''special character card''']]. This will need to be carried with your character card during game time if you wish to use those skills.

==Changing Your Mind==

It’s entirely possible to find, after an event or two with a new character, that the archetype and skills you’ve chosen don’t seem to fit – or you want to go in a different direction, or you just don’t find the skills fun – even though you still want to keep playing the character.

Despair not! Any new character’s archetype or skills can be tweaked, or completely discarded and re-chosen, until '''the character’s third event'''. As of the start of the third event, the character is fixed.

Changing your character’s skills after that point generally requires effort of some sort, including ritual transformation; a number of routes are available in the game.

Of course, if you wish to change for '''out of character''' reasons (such as no longer being able to take the battlefield), please contact the Game Organisation Desk to discuss.

:Hunter of undead Torian Gravearrow, with the magician archetype, has the '''general''' skills [[Body Development]] (6 points), [[Corporeal Spellcasting]] (6 points), [[Iron Will]] (6 points), [[Light Armour]] (2 points), [[Spiritual Spellcasting]] (6 points) and [[Two Weapons]] (3 points), and the '''magician''' skills [[Greater Corporeal Spellcasting]] (8 points), [[Immune to Mind Effect|Immune to Enthral]] (6 points) and [[Necromancy]] (8 points). This comes to a total of 51 points worth of skills, including 22 magician skills.
:This allows them to learn the '''warrior''' skills [[Armoured Caster]] (8 points), [[Greater Body Development]] (6 points) and [[Medium Armour]] (2 points) and the '''scout''' skill Tracking Proficiency (5 points), for a total of 21 points worth of cross-archetype skills.

== Magic Points, Stamina and Work Units ==

Characters may have access to one or more of the following pools:

* '''Magic points''' fuel spells, rites, invocations and other sorcerous acts.
* '''Stamina''' fuels warrior and scout combat techniques and abilities.
* '''Work units''' drive crafting, surgery, alchemy and other actions that create or alter things.

These pools are shared between all relevant skills. Anyone with stamina-granting skills has a single pool of stamina, which they may spend on any known stamina abilities. Anyone with magic skills has a single pool of magic points, which they may spend on any known spells, rites or other magical abilities. Anyone with creation skills has a single pool of work units, which they may spend on any of their creation skills.

All pools refresh to full every morning at Time In.

=== Point Caps ===

Each skill that grants a particular type of points adds 5 to that pool. However, only the first five such skills contribute — any skills beyond the fifth grant no further points. This means skills alone can grant up to 25 points to any single pool, subject to the archetype caps below.

Characters can purchase [[Extra Stamina]], [[Extra Magic Points]] or [[Extra Work Units]] to increase their pools beyond what skills provide. The prerequisite for each is any skill which grants that type.

The maximum points a character can have depends on whether they have selected a primary archetype:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Pool !! No Primary Archetype !! Primary Archetype
|-
| Stamina || 15 || 30 ([[Warrior]] or [[Scout]])
|-
| Magic Points || 15 || 30 ([[Magician]])
|-
| Work Units || 15 || 25 ([[Creator]])
|}

=== Resource-Granting Skills ===

The following skills grant points to their respective resource pools. Each skill grants up to '''5 points''' per day, but only the first five skills in each category contribute points. See [[Character_Creation#Magic_Points,_Stamina_and_Work_Units|Magic Points, Stamina and Work Units]] for stacking rules and caps.

|-
| || || [[Tattooist]] || Surgery Path
|}

'''Note:''' [[Surgery]] does '''not''' grant work units.

=== Examples ===

''Lellian of the Forge'' has the skills Artisan, Blacksmith, Weaponsmith and Creator archetype, granting them 15 work units from skills. They purchase 10 levels of Extra Work Units, giving them 25 work units per day (the Creator maximum).

''Kira Shieldbreaker'' has the skills Body Development, Ranger, Scoundrel, Defender, Brawler and Warrior archetype — five skills that grant stamina. Only the first five contribute points, so they have 25 stamina from skills rather than 30. They purchase 5 levels of Extra Stamina, giving them 30 stamina per day (the Warrior maximum).

''Theron the Wanderer'' has Body Development, Corporeal Spellcasting, and Artisan but no primary archetype. They have 5 stamina, 5 magic points, and 5 work units from skills. They could purchase up to 10 Extra Stamina (for 15 total), 10 Extra Magic Points (for 15 total), and 10 Extra Work Units (for 15 total) — but no more, as 15 is the cap for characters without a primary archetype.

== Boons ==

Some abilities grant '''boons''', ongoing magical benefits that provide charges or passive effects. Boons may be granted by [[Rites|rites]], [[Surgery|surgical procedures]], [[Alchemy|alchemical preparations]] or other sources.

A character may only have '''three active boons''' at any given time, regardless of source. If a character already has three boons and receives another, they must choose which boon to lose. See [[Rites#Boons|Boons]] for more details.

==Character Cards==

All of your skills will be assigned to you on your '''character card'''. This card is given to you at the [[General Rules#Game Organisation Desk|'''game organisation desk''']] at the beginning of every event and includes the following information:
:*Your name
:*Your character name
:*Your faction
:*The event details
:*Your character skills

You must have your character card with you at all times during the event and it must be easily accessible in case of emergency. If your character dies or you choose to retire them during an event, the Game Organisation Desk will produce a new character card for you.

If you gain any skills during the game in addition to the permanent skills listed on your character card, you will be issued a [[Character Progression#Special Characters|'''special character card''']]. This will need to be carried with your character card during game time if you wish to use those skills.

==Changing Your Mind==

It’s entirely possible to find, after an event or two with a new character, that the archetype and skills you’ve chosen don’t seem to fit – or you want to go in a different direction, or you just don’t find the skills fun – even though you still want to keep playing the character.

Despair not! Any new character’s archetype or skills can be tweaked, or completely discarded and re-chosen, until '''the character’s third event'''. As of the start of the third event, the character is fixed.

Changing your character’s skills after that point generally requires effort of some sort, including ritual transformation; a number of routes are available in the game.

Of course, if you wish to change for '''out of character''' reasons (such as no longer being able to take the battlefield), please contact the Game Organisation Desk to discuss.

The level of detail in the answer depends on the conditions of the battlefield, the quality of the character’s intelligence and observations, and the availability of information (e.g. if the battle is chaotic enough, the enemy commander may not know ''themselves'' what they are going to do next!).

| Description || The character can, at a cost in resources and 5 stamina, perform the rite ''[[Invest Saboteur's Tools]]'', enchanting a set of thief's or locksmith's tools as a focus of their will. The character can use their invested tools to pick or disable enchanted locks and traps with their [[Device Proficiency]] skill.

In addition, at the cost of 5 stamina, the character can analyse magical items, areas, hazards or phenomena such as:
* Enchanted lock or trap
* Item enchanted as a magical hex
* Magically sealed door or container
* Portal or ward

This requires about two minutes' close examination (within 5ft/1.5m). At the end of this time, the character learns the following information:
* Whether it is enchanted, and with what sphere(s) (per [[Detect Magic]])
* A specific description of a trap's or hex's magical effects, including trigger, call(s) and charges
* The specific conditions that must be met, if any, in order to open a lock or seal or pass a ward
* The spheres present in a portal or ward, if any; other origins cannot be determined. This does NOT reveal whether a portal can be safely traversed or whether conditions on the other side are safe

As with the [[Analysis]] rite, this ability does not reveal any information specifically noted as being hidden from detection.

Note that this does not grant the character the ability to open or bypass the target ward or lock without meeting any specified conditions. Arcane Saboteurs may be able to research this and more dramatic feats.

'''Note:''' Some items may be trapped or enchanted for plot reasons; this may still occur and not be answered by this skill.

Traps function only as long as the trapper or a referee remain in attendance. Traps set on the battlefield must be coordinated with the Battle Team ahead of time and set during a scouting slot.

Note that this skill grants knowledge of field traps, such as pit traps and snares, while the [[Mechanician]] skill covers mechanical traps, such as poison needles and blades. A mechanician can design and build mechanical components that a trapper can then incorporate into field traps for greater effect.

These calls cannot be stacked unless specifically allowed by another skill or item.

While Berserker is active the character must seek to directly engage in combat.

Berserker ends if:
* The player decides to end the effect
* The character's head or chest is incapacitated
* One minute has passed

When Berserker ends, all the character's locations are incapacitated, they are mortally wounded and start their death count as per [[Combat|Incapacitation and Death]]. This effect cannot be mitigated by trigger items, spells, or other effects.

'''Note:''' the player must continue to observe safe play.

'''Note:''' The number of stamina points the character receives each day depends on how many skills they know that use them, see [[Character_Creation#Magic_Points,_Stamina_and_Work_Units|Magic Points, Stamina and Work Units]].

'''Note:''' Pinnacle Skill — a character may only have one Pinnacle skill.

! Description
| The character has mastered a fighting style focused on precisely targeted strikes. This skill gives access to the following abilities:

* For 2 stamina per use, call Mundane Flare against one target within 1.5m (5'). The player must roleplay a suitable blinding action — e.g. flicking a cloak into their opponent's face, tossing their drink at them, or grabbing dirt from the ground to throw at them. Note that this gesture is simulated; the player must not actually throw or flick anything close to another player's face.
* For 5 stamina per use, call Mundane Wounding with a melee weapon attack. This will only be effective if the attack lands on the target's body.
* For 5 stamina per use, for the next minute the character is immune to all knockdown effects (but not any associated damage or other effect).

'''Note:''' The number of stamina points the character receives each day depends on how many skills they know that use them, see [[Character_Creation#Magic_Points,_Stamina_and_Work_Units|Magic Points, Stamina and Work Units]].

Note: Pinnacle Skill — a character may only have one Pinnacle skill.

! Key Words
| Archetype / Warrior / Stamina
|-
! Description
| The character has mastered a combat style which focuses on defence and holding ground. This skill gives access to the following abilities:

* For '''2 stamina''' per use, call Mundane Strike Down with a melee weapon attack, melee weapon block, or shield block.
* For '''2 stamina''' per use, call "I'll save you!" to redirect one single-target ranged spell from a target within 1.5m (5') to themselves. The character must be aware of the spell; only a character who also has the skill Sense Magic may use this ability against a covertly cast spell. If the character has any relevant immunities or would normally be able to resist the spell, they may do so.
* For '''10 stamina''' per use, for the next minute the character is immune to the following effects, whether mundane or magical:
- Command
- Fear (but not Terror)
- Suggestion
- Any knockdown effects (but not any associated damage or other effect)
- Repel
- Sleep
- Enthral

'''Note:''' Countering takes precedence over redirection; if in the confusion of battle one player uses "I'll save you!" while another counters the same spell, the spell effect does not occur and the stamina points are not spent.

'''Note:''' The number of stamina points the character receives each day depends on how many skills they know that use them, see [[Character_Creation#Magic_Points,_Stamina_and_Work_Units|Magic Points, Stamina and Work Units]].
