Every combat spell’s vocals conclude in a damage or effect call, which the target should be able to enact without referee intervention. '''Information:''' The spell reveals something of the target’s nature or current state to the caster. It does not directly affect the target, and is thus generally u...")

12:27, 26 April 2024 ManagementBoard talk contribs created page Rituals (Created page with "==Ritual Magic== The most powerful of the mystical arts, ritual magic is unique in not drawing on the magician’s own magic but on an external source of power, the ritual circle. A ritual is a long rite performed in a ritual circle by a group of magicians with the Ritual Magic skill, called ritualists. Every ritual has a lead ritualist, who initiates the ritual, and a number of contributors supporting them (control can be handed from one lead to another during a r...")
12:12, 26 April 2024 ManagementBoard talk contribs created page Invocation (Created page with "==Invocation== Invocation is the art of charging an object with magic, allowing it to be later used to cast a specific spell, or to use a damage call or some other magical ability. Much of the time, invocation is a collaboration, combining the efforts of a crafter, an alchemist and a magician. Standard rules for invocation follow. The various Invocation skills grant knowledge of several rites. ===Using Invocation Items=== Invocation items always have a limited number...")
12:07, 26 April 2024 ManagementBoard talk contribs created page Conjunctional Magic (Created page with "==Conjunctional Magic== Rather than drawing on the spheres for power, practitioners of conjunctional magics call on the supernatural planes to power their spells and rites. As natives of more mundane worlds, mortal magicians must learn first to cast spells in the pairs of spheres connecting those planes (hence “conjunctional”) before they can learn to tap into more otherworldly powers. There are three supernatural planes whose powers are easily accessed from the Tr...")
12:01, 26 April 2024 ManagementBoard talk contribs created page Rites (Created page with "==Rites== Rites are magical ceremonies with longer or more dramatic effects. As well as taking rather longer than spells – all rites are at least two minutes long – rites always require the expenditure of some material resources as well as magic points, and the ceremonial preparation of a space in which to work the magic. Invocation, Ritual Magic and the various Greater Spellcasting and Conjunctional Magic skills all provide knowledge of a number of rites. ===Prep...")
11:53, 26 April 2024 ManagementBoard talk contribs created page Magic (Created page with "==Magic== Strictly speaking, everything in the world of Renewal is made of, and governed by, magic – but the term “magic” generally refers to the active, deliberate use of esoteric power, eschewing mundane methods to directly affect the fabric of reality. As such, magic is a function of will shaped by belief, and every magician practices magic in their own way. There are four main categories of magical workings. '''Spellcasting:''' Spell magic is the most common...")
11:18, 26 April 2024 ManagementBoard talk contribs created page Character Progression (Created page with "==Character Progression== Characters aren’t limited to the 20 points worth of skills they start with; over time, they gain new skills or improve on the ones they know, learn new techniques and rites, and grow in power through blessings and enchantments. Progression in the Renewal campaign is by three routes: with experience, through training and research, and by becoming a special character. ==Experience== Every character masters new challenges, gleans fresh insigh...")
10:59, 26 April 2024 ManagementBoard talk contribs created page Character Creation (Created page with "==Archetypes== Most characters in the Renewal campaign belong to one of four archetypes, broad character classes that unlock development paths for specialisation and more powerful skills: '''Creator:''' Whether weavers or alchemists, blacksmiths or surgeons, tattooists or jewellers, creators are artists who make, repair and alter lasting things.

These are broad character classes that unlock development paths for specialisation and more powerful skills.

16:39, 23 April 2024 ManagementBoard talk contribs created page Creator (Created page with "==Creator== Whether soot-smeared blacksmiths or ink-stained tattooists, artful poisoners or elegant tailors, creators pride themselves on the patience, the perfectionism and the training to create and alter things of utility and beauty.

16:22, 23 April 2024 ManagementBoard talk contribs created page Warrior (Created page with "==Warrior== Whether a hulking brute or an artful fencer, a raging berserker or a keen strategist, a warrior is first and foremost someone who gives battle. Some fight alone and some lead others; some rely on skill and some on power, but all devote their lives to warfare. Warrior skills aren’t neatly grouped in skill paths like the other archetypes, but more of a selection of skills to suit different fighting styles: use of the call Strength; attacks to disarm, da...")
16:06, 23 April 2024 ManagementBoard talk contribs created page Scout (Created page with "==SCOUT== Some are assassins or pickpockets, some trackers or hunters; some are artful saboteurs, or skilled in siege engines and battlefield traps. But scouts all have one thing in common: lacking either powerful magic or great might, they must rely on their talents and their wits to survive. Most scouting skills align with two main paths: scoundrels skilled in stealth and deceit, masters of the hidden blade and the broken lock; or rangers more at home in the wilderne...")

Some mercenaries work for coin while others act for honour, some for knowledge or power. Some simply travel the lands free of the ties to a nation. Each acts for their own purpose, there is no single motivation that unites the mercenaries. Mercenarie...")
