Party:
Zephil Solstrider, Bard [Level 2 Bard|==========] 181/200 XP
Gain access to a Tune Gauge, which fuels musical auras. You can switch auras as a minor action, and start with 1 TP (Tune Point). Each Aura has a different TP cost, so choose wisely. The TP does not get consumed, so the effects are typically weaker than just using a skill.
Regeneratos Ballad: 1 TP
Each party member recovers (1 x D4 + Zephil's persuasion score divided by 10) HP each combat turn.
Hercules' Sonnet: 1 TP
Each party member gets a +2 to their attack roll. NOTE: Does not have any affect if they critical fail or succeed.
Status effects: Have At You, Geralt! (deals 25% more damage to Geralt of Nivea for 3 turns)
Have At You! (active: costs 15 mana)
When used, target a single enemy, and do increased damage towards them for 3 turns. While active, both you and your target enemy deal less damage towards anyone other than each other. If the target dies early, can swap to a new enemy for the remainder of the duration.
Armor Breaker (active: costs 15 mana)
Perform an attack that deals double damage to enemy block. If the target has no block, this ability causes them to take 10% more damage from physical attacks for 3 turns.
Arcane Missiles (active: costs 6x1.25 mana)
Fires bolts of arcane energy at enemies, with each having its own target. They deal 11 magic damage when they hit. Mana cost increases for every projectile fired.

Minion can also cast Water Bolt, which deals 15-18 damage, reduces the target's speed by 2, and causes them to take 15% more damage from electric and ice sources. Water Bolt has a 2 turn cooldown.
==[The Seer of Ironhaven]== Monstrous sea creatures do exist, and that appear to be lead by a ghost that wears sunglasses and speaks like a surfer dude. Honestly, it's not the weirdest thing that's happened to you on a job. The ghost is likely being summoned and controlled by a sorcerer somewhere in Aekran, and stopping them would more than likely dispel the spirit and destroy the sea monsters. In order to track down this malevolent sorcerer, the emperor has informed you of a seer in Ironhaven who should be able to help you. To get to Ironhaven, however, you'll need to obtain a boat.
[ ] Obtain a boat from the docks
==[Gangbusters]== On the way to Acrus, you were attacked by a group of brigands intending to rob you. One of them managed to escape, but he dropped what appears to be an identification badge depicting a hawk impaled with two swords. Judging by the fact that they have matching badges, they may be an organized faction. There may be value in learning more about them.
Apparently, these bandits are been lurking around Acrus for some time. One of the city guards mentioned one of them being detained. You might be able to use your reputation to question the bandit and learn more.
[√] Find out more about the brigands
[√] Question the detained brigand

==[Magical Artifacts]== You happened upon a mysterious fellow in the sewers of Acrus, carrying an unusual relic. He mentioned that there are two other relics somewhere in Aekran that, when brought together, would lead their holder to an ancient ruin filled with unimaginable treasures. You decided to keep that in mind, just in case.
[0/3] Obtain the three relics
==[An Imperial Contract]==
The emperor of Aekran has contacted you directly. He has requested your presence in Acrus, the capital city of Aekran. You're unsure of what the emperor is asking of you, but completing a contract for him would not only pay well, but would also vastly improve your reputation. On your way to Acrus, however, you were ambushed by unknown assailants. You'll have to get through them before you can get to Acrus.
Your meeting with the emperor was interesting. He informed you of an unusual rumor of monstrous sea creatures attacking people and dragging them into the sea, never to be seen again. He has asked you to investigate this matter and, if the rumors are true, put a stop to it.
You engaged a bizarre sea creature in combat and have slain it. Whatever it is, it doesn't seem like a naturally occurring creature. This thing was created by someone, somehow. Not only that, but you encountered a ghost wearing sunglasses that wants you dead. You have decided to tell the emperor what happened on the shore.
The emperor directed you toward the town of Ironhaven. A seer lives there, and she should be able to help you deal with the sunglasses-wearing ghost.
Your attributes determine your stats. You can increase your attributes by leveling up, equipping powerful gear, and by utilizing training halls in towns.

=====[Magic stats]=====
==[Magic]==
Your basic knowledge of magic. It primarily affects basic magic spells, but has a slight influence on all other types of magic.
==[Hydromancy]==
Your knowledge of water magic. Water-based spells are highly versatile and can be used in offensive and defensive roles.
==[Pyromancy]==
Your knowledge of fire magic. Fire-based spells are primarily offensive, dealing high damage and immolating targets.
==[Geomancy]==
Your knowledge of earth magic. Earth-based spells have strong defensive capabilities, while also being useful attacks.
==[Aeromancy]==
Your knowledge of wind magic. Wind-based spells can be used in several ways, from enhancing mobility to breaking the enemy's formation.
==[Cryomancy]==
Your knowledge of ice magic. Ice-based spells can take the form of powerful attacks or inexorable
defensive wards.
==[Electromancy]==
Your knowledge of lightning magic. Lightning-based spells have excellent attack power, and synergize well with water magic.
==[Necromancy]==
Your knowledge of necromancy. Necromancers are able to reanimate the dead, as well as create deadly
poisons and toxins.
==[Polymancy]==
Your knowledge of shapeshifting magic. Polymorphs are highly respected in combat for their adaptability and quick thinking.
==[Light magic]==
Your knowledge of light magic. Light-based spells are primarily used to ward off demonic creatures and heal wounds.
==[Dark magic]==
Your knowledge of dark magic. Darkness-based spells are a seldom used type of magic, as their use is forbidden in several parts of the world.
Your stats are an indication of how powerful you are. You want them to be as high as possible. Your stats primarily increase as you level up your attributes, though there are other means of enhancing your stats.
Here is a list of all stats.
==[HP]==
Your hit points. These decrease as you take damage. If you run out of HP, you get KO'd.
==[Damage resistances]==
Damage resistances indicate a percentage reduction to the damage you take. Most resistances are divided into the various damage types. One point of damage resistance reduces incoming damage by 1%.
==[Defenses]==
Defenses indicate a static reduction to the damage you take. Most defenses are divided into the various damage types. One point of defense reduces incoming damage by one point.
==[Status resistances]==
Status resistances indicate your ability to resist status effects applied to you. Status resistances are divided into vitality status resistance and endurance status resistance. Higher status resistance reduces the chance of you being afflicted with a status effect, as well as the potency of the status effect if you do get afflicted.
==[Equip load]==
Your equip load measures how heavy your equipped gear can be. As you get closer to the maximum, your evasion rolls will be lowered, and if you go over your maximum equip load, you won't be able to evade attacks at all.
==[Speed]==
Speed determines when in each turn you'll be able to take your action. Raising your speed will allow you take your actions sooner in the turn.
==[Mana]==
Mana is used to cast spells and use active abilities. You regenerate some of your mana every turn.
==[Inventory capacity]==
Your carrying capacity determines how many items you can carry on your person. Heavier items take up more space. This is a separate stat from equip load, so having a full inventory won't affect your ability to dodge.
==[Persuasion score]==
Persuasion score is your ability to talk your way into getting what you want. There are several factors that influence persuasion score, most notably your charisma attribute. Higher persuasion score makes it easier to win people over with words alone.
Weapon proficiencies indicate a higher level of skill in utilizing certain weapon types. If you use a weapon type you're proficient with, the weapon's stats will be enhanced in various ways. There are two ways to obtain weapon proficiencies: class selection, and undergoing weapon training. Every class has their own set of weapon proficiencies, but you can become proficient with other weapon types by finding weapon masters willing to teach you, at which point you'll begin a personal side quest to become proficient in a new weapon type.
Every turn in combat, each player gets to take a major action and a minor action. Major actions are things like attacking enemies, healing allies, and using items. Minor actions are things like searching containers, talking to people, and looking around. If you choose to take a minor action, your major action will be slightly weakened, so there's value in only taking a major action. You can also take two minor actions at once, if you so choose.
The order in which units take their turn is determined by their speed and the results of a dice roll. Your turn priority is your speed + (1 x D6). Units with the highest turn priority go first, and units with the lowest go last. Turn order will be listed on every update. If a player doesn't take their action in an update, their action that turn will be skipped.
When a player's HP reaches zero, they get knocked out. KO'd players can only perform minor actions, and therefor can't heal allies or attack enemies. Players cannot be KO'd outside of combat.
KO'd players will automatically be revived with 10% of their max HP at the end of combat. There are other means of reviving players in the middle of battle, though they require abilities, items, or particularly effective healing attempts.
The damage players inflict is dependent on the strength of their weapon, the result of their attack dice rolls, and the creativity of their attack. Your weapon's attack stat is the minimum amount of damage the weapon can deal, assuming you get an average dice roll and perform a basic attack. Putting more effort and creativity into your attacks increases the damage of your attack, up to double your weapon's attack stat. High dice rolls can further enhance your damage.
Blocking can be performed as a minor action. Doing so will grant you an amount of block that depends on your weapons' defensive value and the outcome of a dice roll. Block functions as damage absorption; you'll lose block before you lose HP.
Whenever you perform something significant, you gain XP. When you gain enough XP, you level up. Leveling up allows you to enhance your attributes and, occasionally, learn a new ability. You can learn a new ability every 5 levels. There is no level cap.
Every 5 levels grants you the ability to learn a new ability. When this happens, you can create your own ability to obtain. Do note that the ability's strength must be reasonable for your current level, and if your ability is too strong, it may have to be nerfed. It's also recommended that your abilities thematically fit with your class, as this will make them stronger.
There are also preset abilities that can be learned throughout the game, at various sources. You can mix these in with your custom abilities to create a build that works perfectly for you.
There are several types of damage, all of which have their strengths and weaknesses. Each damage type also has an associated status effect that will occasionally be inflicted when damage of that type is dealt.
Here is a list of all damage types.
Impact: inflicted by bludgeoning weapons. Can occasionally stagger an enemy, hindering their accuracy and evasion.
Slash: inflicted by blades. Can occasionally cause enemies to bleed.
Puncture: inflicted by thrusting weapons and projectiles. Can occasionally weaken an enemy, reducing their damage output.
Water: inflicted by hydromancy and water-infused weapons. Can occasionally douse the target in water, making them vulnerable to electricity.
Fire: inflicted by pyromancy and fire-infused weapons. Can occasionally light the target on fire.
Earth: inflicted by geomancy and earth-infused weapons. Can occasionally shatter an enemy's defenses, leaving them vulnerable.
Wind: inflicted by aeromancy and wind-infused weapons. Can occasionally disarm the target, weakening them or forcing them to grab their weapon.
Ice: inflicted by cryomancy and ice-infused weapons. Can occasionally freeze the target.
Electric: inflicted by electromancy and lightning-infused weapons. Can occasionally electrify the target, which also shocks nearby enemies.
Toxic: inflicted by poisons. Can occasionally poison the target.
Magic: inflicted by magic. Can occasionally hex the target, making them more vulnerable to status effects.
Light: inflicted by light magic. Can occasionally blind the target, or severely damage eldritch creatures.
Dark: inflicted by dark magic. Can occasionally corrupt the target, which can frequently lead to an early demise.
You can look around at any time. Doing so can allow you to find items, notice interesting people, and get your bearings. Looking around counts as a minor action in combat.
Heavier equipment can increase your level of encumbrance, which can impact your evasion.
If you are below 30% of your max equip load, you'll gain +1 to your evasion dice rolls.
If you're between 30% and 60%, your evasion won't be impacted at all.
If you're over 60%, you'll gain -1 to your evasion rolls.
If you're over 100%, you won't be able to dodge attacks at all.
You slowly heal over time when out of combat. You can accelerate the process with items or abilities. Using items or abilities will also allow you to heal in the middle of combat.
Sometimes, you'll get to choose what to say to people. You can say whatever you want, but be ready to deal with the consequences of your words.
Enemies can be classified as human, beast, or eldritch. Some perks and abilities may affect different classes differently, but that's about it.
You gain skill points whenever you level up. You can use them to increase your attributes and magic skills, or to upgrade your abilities.

You can look around at any time. Doing so can allow you to find items, notice interesting people, and get your bearings. Looking around counts as a minor action in combat.
Heavier equipment can increase your level of encumbrance, which can impact your evasion.
If you are below 30% of your max equip load, you'll gain +1 to your evasion dice rolls.
If you're between 30% and 60%, your evasion won't be impacted at all.
If you're over 60%, you'll gain -1 to your evasion rolls.
If you're over 100%, you won't be able to dodge attacks at all.
You slowly heal over time when out of combat. You can accelerate the process with items or abilities. Using items or abilities will also allow you to heal in the middle of combat.
Sometimes, you'll get to choose what to say to people. You can say whatever you want, but be ready to deal with the consequences of your words.
Enemies can be classified as human, beast, or eldritch. Some perks and abilities may affect different classes differently, but that's about it.
You gain skill points whenever you level up. You can use them to increase your attributes and magic skills, or to upgrade your abilities.
"Seems like you realize you're outclassed. How about you make this easier for all of us, and surrender while you have the chance?"
Geralt is either toppled and anchored or upright but still beaten up. I motion for my allies to cover the exits, and keep my sword pointed at the enemy, ready to strike if he makes a...poor decision.

If you've met TehEpicNinja9001, you've met me. Somehow lost the account's password and email. Maybe I'll try and get it back one day. Or maybe not.
"Seems like you realize you're outclassed. How about you make this easier for all of us, and surrender while you have the chance?"
Geralt is either toppled and anchored or upright but still beaten up. I motion for my allies to cover the exits, and keep my sword pointed at the enemy, ready to strike if he makes a...poor decision.
Your allies cover the exits, and you make your statement, your weapon pointed at him.
I go around Geralt to cut off one of his possible escape routes, then I stab him.
You cut off a possible escape route, then stab at Geralt.
Geralt's evasion roll: 6.
Your roll: 11.
Your crit roll: 6 (failed).
You hit him for 17 damage. You gain 9 XP
Geralt glances around before lowering his weapon. He glares at Seymour.
"Look around you," Seymour says, "You're surrounded. You're outmatched. Just give up now."
Geralt chuckles, "Outmatched? By you? That's hilarious. If you don't mind, I'll be leaving on my own terms."
"Not gonna happen, pal," Morgan counters.
Geralt ignores Morgan and continues speaking to Seymour, "Look, it doesn't have to be like this. As long as I don't get all three artifacts, you have nothing to worry about. So, as long at one of them remains in Morgan's thieving hands, I'm basically a nobody, right?" He swiftly casts the Axii sign on Seymour.
Gain access to a Tune Gauge, which fuels musical auras. You can switch auras as a minor action, and start with 1 TP (Tune Point). Each Aura has a different TP cost, so choose wisely. The TP does not get consumed, so the effects are typically weaker than just using a skill.
Regeneratos Ballad: 1 TP
Each party member recovers (1 x D4 + Zephil's persuasion score divided by 10) HP each combat turn.
Hercules' Sonnet: 1 TP
Each party member gets a +2 to their attack roll. NOTE: Does not have any affect if they critical fail or succeed.
Status effects: Have At You, Geralt! (deals 25% more damage to Geralt of Nivea for 1 turn)
Have At You! (active: costs 15 mana)
When used, target a single enemy, and do increased damage towards them for 3 turns. While active, both you and your target enemy deal less damage towards anyone other than each other. If the target dies early, can swap to a new enemy for the remainder of the duration.
Armor Breaker (active: costs 15 mana)
Perform an attack that deals double damage to enemy block. If the target has no block, this ability causes them to take 10% more damage from physical attacks for 3 turns.
Arcane Missiles (active: costs 6x1.25 mana)
Fires bolts of arcane energy at enemies, with each having its own target. They deal 11 magic damage when they hit. Mana cost increases for every projectile fired.
Summons a minion with 20 HP, capable of dealing 10-12 damage with a 10% chance to deal 30% extra electric damage.
Minion can also cast Water Bolt, which deals 15-18 damage, reduces the target's speed by 2, and causes them to take 15% more damage from electric and ice sources. Water Bolt has a 2 turn cooldown.
==[The Seer of Ironhaven]== Monstrous sea creatures do exist, and that appear to be lead by a ghost that wears sunglasses and speaks like a surfer dude. Honestly, it's not the weirdest thing that's happened to you on a job. The ghost is likely being summoned and controlled by a sorcerer somewhere in Aekran, and stopping them would more than likely dispel the spirit and destroy the sea monsters. In order to track down this malevolent sorcerer, the emperor has informed you of a seer in Ironhaven who should be able to help you. To get to Ironhaven, however, you'll need to obtain a boat.
[ ] Obtain a boat from the docks
==[Gangbusters]== On the way to Acrus, you were attacked by a group of brigands intending to rob you. One of them managed to escape, but he dropped what appears to be an identification badge depicting a hawk impaled with two swords. Judging by the fact that they have matching badges, they may be an organized faction. There may be value in learning more about them.
Apparently, these bandits are been lurking around Acrus for some time. One of the city guards mentioned one of them being detained. You might be able to use your reputation to question the bandit and learn more.

==[Magical Artifacts]== You happened upon a mysterious fellow in the sewers of Acrus, carrying an unusual relic. He mentioned that there are two other relics somewhere in Aekran that, when brought together, would lead their holder to an ancient ruin filled with unimaginable treasures. You decided to keep that in mind, just in case.
[0/3] Obtain the three relics
==[An Imperial Contract]==
The emperor of Aekran has contacted you directly. He has requested your presence in Acrus, the capital city of Aekran. You're unsure of what the emperor is asking of you, but completing a contract for him would not only pay well, but would also vastly improve your reputation. On your way to Acrus, however, you were ambushed by unknown assailants. You'll have to get through them before you can get to Acrus.
Your meeting with the emperor was interesting. He informed you of an unusual rumor of monstrous sea creatures attacking people and dragging them into the sea, never to be seen again. He has asked you to investigate this matter and, if the rumors are true, put a stop to it.
You engaged a bizarre sea creature in combat and have slain it. Whatever it is, it doesn't seem like a naturally occurring creature. This thing was created by someone, somehow. Not only that, but you encountered a ghost wearing sunglasses that wants you dead. You have decided to tell the emperor what happened on the shore.
The emperor directed you toward the town of Ironhaven. A seer lives there, and she should be able to help you deal with the sunglasses-wearing ghost.
Your attributes determine your stats. You can increase your attributes by leveling up, equipping powerful gear, and by utilizing training halls in towns. Your basic attributes determine your basic stats, while your magic attributes affect your ability to wield different types of magic. You get one skill point whenever you level up, which can be spent to increase any attribute.

Selling prices at shops
=====[Magic stats]=====
==[Magic]==
Your basic knowledge of magic. It primarily affects basic magic spells, but has a slight influence on all other types of magic.
==[Hydromancy]==
Your knowledge of water magic. Water-based spells are highly versatile and can be used in offensive and defensive roles.
==[Pyromancy]==
Your knowledge of fire magic. Fire-based spells are primarily offensive, dealing high damage and immolating targets.
==[Geomancy]==
Your knowledge of earth magic. Earth-based spells have strong defensive capabilities, while also being useful attacks.
==[Aeromancy]==
Your knowledge of wind magic. Wind-based spells can be used in several ways, from enhancing mobility to breaking the enemy's formation.
==[Cryomancy]==
Your knowledge of ice magic. Ice-based spells can take the form of powerful attacks or inexorable
defensive wards.
==[Electromancy]==
Your knowledge of lightning magic. Lightning-based spells have excellent attack power, and synergize well with water magic.
==[Necromancy]==
Your knowledge of necromancy. Necromancers are able to reanimate the dead, as well as create deadly
poisons and toxins.
==[Polymancy]==
Your knowledge of shapeshifting magic. Polymorphs are highly respected in combat for their adaptability and quick thinking.
==[Light magic]==
Your knowledge of light magic. Light-based spells are primarily used to ward off demonic creatures and heal wounds.
==[Dark magic]==
Your knowledge of dark magic. Darkness-based spells are a seldom used type of magic, as their use is forbidden in several parts of the world.
Your stats are an indication of how powerful you are. You want them to be as high as possible. Your stats primarily increase as you level up your attributes, though there are other means of enhancing your stats.
Here is a list of all stats.
==[HP]==
Your hit points. These decrease as you take damage. If you run out of HP, you get KO'd.
==[Damage resistances]==
Damage resistances indicate a percentage reduction to the damage you take. Most resistances are divided into the various damage types. One point of damage resistance reduces incoming damage by 1%.
==[Defenses]==
Defenses indicate a static reduction to the damage you take. Most defenses are divided into the various damage types. One point of defense reduces incoming damage by one point.
==[Status resistances]==
Status resistances indicate your ability to resist status effects applied to you. Status resistances are divided into vitality status resistance and endurance status resistance. Higher status resistance reduces the chance of you being afflicted with a status effect, as well as the potency of the status effect if you do get afflicted.
==[Equip load]==
Your equip load measures how heavy your equipped gear can be. As you get closer to the maximum, your evasion rolls will be lowered, and if you go over your maximum equip load, you won't be able to evade attacks at all.
==[Speed]==
Speed determines when in each turn you'll be able to take your action. Raising your speed will allow you take your actions sooner in the turn.
==[Mana]==
Mana is used to cast spells and use active abilities. You regenerate some of your mana every turn.
==[Inventory capacity]==
Your carrying capacity determines how many items you can carry on your person. Heavier items take up more space. This is a separate stat from equip load, so having a full inventory won't affect your ability to dodge.
==[Persuasion score]==
Persuasion score is your ability to talk your way into getting what you want. There are several factors that influence persuasion score, most notably your charisma attribute. Higher persuasion score makes it easier to win people over with words alone.
Weapon proficiencies indicate a higher level of skill in utilizing certain weapon types. If you use a weapon type you're proficient with, the weapon's stats will be enhanced in various ways. There are two ways to obtain weapon proficiencies: class selection, and undergoing weapon training. Every class has their own set of weapon proficiencies, but you can become proficient with other weapon types by finding weapon masters willing to teach you, at which point you'll begin a personal side quest to become proficient in a new weapon type.
Every turn in combat, each player gets to take a major action and a minor action. Major actions are things like attacking enemies, healing allies, and using items. Minor actions are things like searching containers, talking to people, and looking around. If you choose to take a minor action, your major action will be slightly weakened, so there's value in only taking a major action. You can also take two minor actions at once, if you so choose.
The order in which units take their turn is determined by their speed and the results of a dice roll. Your turn priority is your speed + (1 x D6). Units with the highest turn priority go first, and units with the lowest go last. Turn order will be listed on every update. If a player doesn't take their action in an update, their action that turn will be skipped.
When a player's HP reaches zero, they get knocked out. KO'd players can only perform minor actions, and therefor can't heal allies or attack enemies. Players cannot be KO'd outside of combat.
KO'd players will automatically be revived with 10% of their max HP at the end of combat. There are other means of reviving players in the middle of battle, though they require abilities, items, or particularly effective healing attempts.
The damage players inflict is dependent on the strength of their weapon, the result of their attack dice rolls, and the creativity of their attack. Your weapon's attack stat is the minimum amount of damage the weapon can deal, assuming you get an average dice roll and perform a basic attack. Putting more effort and creativity into your attacks increases the damage of your attack, up to double your weapon's attack stat. High dice rolls can further enhance your damage.
Blocking can be performed as a minor action. Doing so will grant you an amount of block that depends on your weapons' defensive value and the outcome of a dice roll. Block functions as damage absorption; you'll lose block before you lose HP.
Whenever you perform something significant, you gain XP. When you gain enough XP, you level up. Leveling up allows you to enhance your attributes and, occasionally, learn a new ability. You can learn a new ability every 5 levels. There is no level cap.
Every 5 levels grants you the ability to learn a new ability. When this happens, you can create your own ability to obtain. Do note that the ability's strength must be reasonable for your current level, and if your ability is too strong, it may have to be nerfed. It's also recommended that your abilities thematically fit with your class, as this will make them stronger.
There are also preset abilities that can be learned throughout the game, at various sources. You can mix these in with your custom abilities to create a build that works perfectly for you.
There are several types of damage, all of which have their strengths and weaknesses. Each damage type also has an associated status effect that will occasionally be inflicted when damage of that type is dealt.
Here is a list of all damage types.
Impact: inflicted by bludgeoning weapons. Can occasionally stagger an enemy, hindering their accuracy and evasion.
Slash: inflicted by blades. Can occasionally cause enemies to bleed.
Puncture: inflicted by thrusting weapons and projectiles. Can occasionally weaken an enemy, reducing their damage output.
Water: inflicted by hydromancy and water-infused weapons. Can occasionally douse the target in water, making them vulnerable to electricity.
Fire: inflicted by pyromancy and fire-infused weapons. Can occasionally light the target on fire.
Earth: inflicted by geomancy and earth-infused weapons. Can occasionally shatter an enemy's defenses, leaving them vulnerable.
Wind: inflicted by aeromancy and wind-infused weapons. Can occasionally disarm the target, weakening them or forcing them to grab their weapon.
Ice: inflicted by cryomancy and ice-infused weapons. Can occasionally freeze the target.
Electric: inflicted by electromancy and lightning-infused weapons. Can occasionally electrify the target, which also shocks nearby enemies.
Toxic: inflicted by poisons. Can occasionally poison the target.
Magic: inflicted by magic. Can occasionally hex the target, making them more vulnerable to status effects.
Light: inflicted by light magic. Can occasionally blind the target, or severely damage eldritch creatures.
Dark: inflicted by dark magic. Can occasionally corrupt the target, which can frequently lead to an early demise.
You can look around at any time. Doing so can allow you to find items, notice interesting people, and get your bearings. Looking around counts as a minor action in combat.
Heavier equipment can increase your level of encumbrance, which can impact your evasion.
If you are below 30% of your max equip load, you'll gain +1 to your evasion dice rolls.
If you're between 30% and 60%, your evasion won't be impacted at all.
If you're over 60%, you'll gain -1 to your evasion rolls.
If you're over 100%, you won't be able to dodge attacks at all.
You slowly heal over time when out of combat. You can accelerate the process with items or abilities. Using items or abilities will also allow you to heal in the middle of combat.
Sometimes, you'll get to choose what to say to people. You can say whatever you want, but be ready to deal with the consequences of your words.
Enemies can be classified as human, beast, or eldritch. Some perks and abilities may affect different classes differently, but that's about it.
You gain skill points whenever you level up. You can use them to increase your attributes and magic skills, or to upgrade your abilities.

It's also recommended that your abilities thematically fit with your class, as this will make them stronger.
There are also preset abilities that can be learned throughout the game, at various sources. You can mix these in with your custom abilities to create a build that works perfectly for you.
There are several types of damage, all of which have their strengths and weaknesses. Each damage type also has an associated status effect that will occasionally be inflicted when damage of that type is dealt.
Here is a list of all damage types.
Impact: inflicted by bludgeoning weapons. Can occasionally stagger an enemy, hindering their accuracy and evasion.
Slash: inflicted by blades. Can occasionally cause enemies to bleed.
Puncture: inflicted by thrusting weapons and projectiles. Can occasionally weaken an enemy, reducing their damage output.
Water: inflicted by hydromancy and water-infused weapons. Can occasionally douse the target in water, making them vulnerable to electricity.
Fire: inflicted by pyromancy and fire-infused weapons. Can occasionally light the target on fire.
Earth: inflicted by geomancy and earth-infused weapons. Can occasionally shatter an enemy's defenses, leaving them vulnerable.
Wind: inflicted by aeromancy and wind-infused weapons. Can occasionally disarm the target, weakening them or forcing them to grab their weapon.
Ice: inflicted by cryomancy and ice-infused weapons. Can occasionally freeze the target.
Electric: inflicted by electromancy and lightning-infused weapons. Can occasionally electrify the target, which also shocks nearby enemies.
Toxic: inflicted by poisons. Can occasionally poison the target.
Magic: inflicted by magic. Can occasionally hex the target, making them more vulnerable to status effects.
Light: inflicted by light magic. Can occasionally blind the target, or severely damage eldritch creatures.
Dark: inflicted by dark magic. Can occasionally corrupt the target, which can frequently lead to an early demise.
You can look around at any time. Doing so can allow you to find items, notice interesting people, and get your bearings. Looking around counts as a minor action in combat.
Heavier equipment can increase your level of encumbrance, which can impact your evasion.
If you are below 30% of your max equip load, you'll gain +1 to your evasion dice rolls.
If you're between 30% and 60%, your evasion won't be impacted at all.
If you're over 60%, you'll gain -1 to your evasion rolls.
If you're over 100%, you won't be able to dodge attacks at all.
You slowly heal over time when out of combat. You can accelerate the process with items or abilities. Using items or abilities will also allow you to heal in the middle of combat.
Sometimes, you'll get to choose what to say to people. You can say whatever you want, but be ready to deal with the consequences of your words.
Enemies can be classified as human, beast, or eldritch. Some perks and abilities may affect different classes differently, but that's about it.
You gain skill points whenever you level up. You can use them to increase your attributes and magic skills, or to upgrade your abilities.

"Do we want to be the mediocre brimstone boy, or do we want to be the more-than-enough brimstone man?" - Northernlion
"I for one am glad that we can end this conflict peacefully..." I say.
"We'll let you go. But if you are up to something malicious again when we next meet, we will see to it that you face justice in whatever form it may be. Is that clear?" I then give Geralt a stern warning.
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
Ironically, I seem to have lost interest in Minecraft. So have a taste of my Heavy Machine Gun.
I sweep-kick Geralt’s legs so that he falls backwards and hopefully hits his head hard.
"You really seem to enjoy attacking me specifically. It that's how you wanna be...Have At You!"
As the ability activates, I slash at Geralt's beard, and by extension his face.
If you've met TehEpicNinja9001, you've met me. Somehow lost the account's password and email. Maybe I'll try and get it back one day. Or maybe not.
Apparently, if you put these in your signature, people will click them. Help me grow my Pokemon dudes!
Pissed by the epic fail earlier, I retaliate by landing an Armor Breaker on Geralt's crotch (huehuehue).
You go for a low blow with Armor Breaker.
Geralt's evasion roll: 14.
Your roll: 14.
You hit him, dealing 17 damage and leaving him vulnerable. You gain 9 XP.
You sweep the leg.
Geralt's evasion roll: 8.
Your roll: 20 (critical success!)
Your crit roll: 15 (failed).
Geralt hits the ground with a resonating thud. He takes 23 damage, is staggered, and gets disoriented! You gain 12 XP!
You try to scare Geralt with a bright flash.
Geralt's willpower roll: 8.
Your roll: 16.
Geralt jumps back in shock, leaving him vulnerable to another attack!
==[Enemy action]==
Geralt takes 10 bleed damage, then shields himself with the Quen sign.
You target Geralt with Have At You! You then slash at Geralt's beard!
Your roll: 3.
Your attack bounces harmlessly off of his Quen shield, disengaging it.
==[Ally action]==
Morgan, frustrated with his recent misses, cleaves at Geralt again.
Geralt's evasion roll: 7.
Morgan's roll: 1 (critical failure!)
Morgan's attack is poorly executed due to anger, causing him to faceplant into the ground, take 13 damage, and get staggered. Morgan curses loudly.
==[Turn 6]==

Gain access to a Tune Gauge, which fuels musical auras. You can switch auras as a minor action, and start with 1 TP (Tune Point). Each Aura has a different TP cost, so choose wisely. The TP does not get consumed, so the effects are typically weaker than just using a skill.
Regeneratos Ballad: 1 TP
Each party member recovers (1 x D4 + Zephil's persuasion score divided by 10) HP each combat turn.
Hercules' Sonnet: 1 TP
Each party member gets a +2 to their attack roll. NOTE: Does not have any affect if they critical fail or succeed.

Current location:
City of Acrus
Current quests:
Monstrous sea creatures do exist, and that appear to be lead by a ghost that wears sunglasses and speaks like a surfer dude. Honestly, it's not the weirdest thing that's happened to you on a job. The ghost is likely being summoned and controlled by a sorcerer somewhere in Aekran, and stopping them would more than likely dispel the spirit and destroy the sea monsters. In order to track down this malevolent sorcerer, the emperor has informed you of a seer in Ironhaven who should be able to help you. To get to Ironhaven, however, you'll need to obtain a boat.
[ ] Obtain a boat from the docks
On the way to Acrus, you were attacked by a group of brigands intending to rob you. One of them managed to escape, but he dropped what appears to be an identification badge depicting a hawk impaled with two swords. Judging by the fact that they have matching badges, they may be an organized faction. There may be value in learning more about them.
Apparently, these bandits are been lurking around Acrus for some time. One of the city guards mentioned one of them being detained. You might be able to use your reputation to question the bandit and learn more.
[√]
Find out more about the brigands[√]
Question the detained brigand[ ] Investigate the brigand hideout in the woods
[ ] Investigate the brigand hideout in Acrus
[ ] Investigate the brigand hideout along the country road
==[Magical Artifacts]==
You happened upon a mysterious fellow in the sewers of Acrus, carrying an unusual relic. He mentioned that there are two other relics somewhere in Aekran that, when brought together, would lead their holder to an ancient ruin filled with unimaginable treasures. You decided to keep that in mind, just in case.
[0/3] Obtain the three relics
The emperor of Aekran has contacted you directly. He has requested your presence in Acrus, the capital city of Aekran. You're unsure of what the emperor is asking of you, but completing a contract for him would not only pay well, but would also vastly improve your reputation. On your way to Acrus, however, you were ambushed by unknown assailants. You'll have to get through them before you can get to Acrus.
Your meeting with the emperor was interesting. He informed you of an unusual rumor of monstrous sea creatures attacking people and dragging them into the sea, never to be seen again. He has asked you to investigate this matter and, if the rumors are true, put a stop to it.
You engaged a bizarre sea creature in combat and have slain it. Whatever it is, it doesn't seem like a naturally occurring creature. This thing was created by someone, somehow. Not only that, but you encountered a ghost wearing sunglasses that wants you dead. You have decided to tell the emperor what happened on the shore.
The emperor directed you toward the town of Ironhaven. A seer lives there, and she should be able to help you deal with the sunglasses-wearing ghost.

=====[Magic stats]=====
==[Magic]==
Your basic knowledge of magic. It primarily affects basic magic spells, but has a slight influence on all other types of magic.
==[Hydromancy]==
Your knowledge of water magic. Water-based spells are highly versatile and can be used in offensive and defensive roles.
==[Pyromancy]==
Your knowledge of fire magic. Fire-based spells are primarily offensive, dealing high damage and immolating targets.
==[Geomancy]==
Your knowledge of earth magic. Earth-based spells have strong defensive capabilities, while also being useful attacks.
==[Aeromancy]==
Your knowledge of wind magic. Wind-based spells can be used in several ways, from enhancing mobility to breaking the enemy's formation.
==[Cryomancy]==
Your knowledge of ice magic. Ice-based spells can take the form of powerful attacks or inexorable
defensive wards.
==[Electromancy]==
Your knowledge of lightning magic. Lightning-based spells have excellent attack power, and synergize well with water magic.
==[Necromancy]==
Your knowledge of necromancy. Necromancers are able to reanimate the dead, as well as create deadly
poisons and toxins.
==[Polymancy]==

==[Dark magic]==

Here is a list of all stats.
==[HP]==
Your hit points. These decrease as you take damage. If you run out of HP, you get KO'd.
==[Damage resistances]==
Damage resistances indicate a percentage reduction to the damage you take. Most resistances are divided into the various damage types. One point of damage resistance reduces incoming damage by 1%.
==[Defenses]==
Defenses indicate a static reduction to the damage you take. Most defenses are divided into the various damage types. One point of defense reduces incoming damage by one point.
==[Status resistances]==
Status resistances indicate your ability to resist status effects applied to you. Status resistances are divided into vitality status resistance and endurance status resistance. Higher status resistance reduces the chance of you being afflicted with a status effect, as well as the potency of the status effect if you do get afflicted.
==[Equip load]==
Your equip load measures how heavy your equipped gear can be. As you get closer to the maximum, your evasion rolls will be lowered, and if you go over your maximum equip load, you won't be able to evade attacks at all.
==[Speed]==
Speed determines when in each turn you'll be able to take your action. Raising your speed will allow you take your actions sooner in the turn.
==[Mana]==
Mana is used to cast spells and use active abilities. You regenerate some of your mana every turn.
==[Inventory capacity]==
Your carrying capacity determines how many items you can carry on your person. Heavier items take up more space. This is a separate stat from equip load, so having a full inventory won't affect your ability to dodge.
==[Persuasion score]==
Persuasion score is your ability to talk your way into getting what you want. There are several factors that influence persuasion score, most notably your charisma attribute. Higher persuasion score makes it easier to win people over with words alone.
The order in which units take their turn is determined by their speed and the results of a dice roll. Your turn priority is your speed + (1 x D6). Units with the highest turn priority go first, and units with the lowest go last. Turn order will be listed on every update. If a player doesn't take their action in an update, their action that turn will be skipped.
KO'd players will automatically be revived with 10% of their max HP at the end of combat. There are other means of reviving players in the middle of battle, though they require abilities, items, or particularly effective healing attempts.
There are also preset abilities that can be learned throughout the game, at various sources. You can mix these in with your custom abilities to create a build that works perfectly for you.
Here is a list of all damage types.

Current location:
City of Acrus
Current quests:
Monstrous sea creatures do exist, and that appear to be lead by a ghost that wears sunglasses and speaks like a surfer dude. Honestly, it's not the weirdest thing that's happened to you on a job. The ghost is likely being summoned and controlled by a sorcerer somewhere in Aekran, and stopping them would more than likely dispel the spirit and destroy the sea monsters. In order to track down this malevolent sorcerer, the emperor has informed you of a seer in Ironhaven who should be able to help you. To get to Ironhaven, however, you'll need to obtain a boat.
[ ] Obtain a boat from the docks
On the way to Acrus, you were attacked by a group of brigands intending to rob you. One of them managed to escape, but he dropped what appears to be an identification badge depicting a hawk impaled with two swords. Judging by the fact that they have matching badges, they may be an organized faction. There may be value in learning more about them.
Apparently, these bandits are been lurking around Acrus for some time. One of the city guards mentioned one of them being detained. You might be able to use your reputation to question the bandit and learn more.
[√]
Find out more about the brigands[√]
Question the detained brigand[ ] Investigate the brigand hideout in the woods
[ ] Investigate the brigand hideout in Acrus
[ ] Investigate the brigand hideout along the country road
==[Magical Artifacts]==
You happened upon a mysterious fellow in the sewers of Acrus, carrying an unusual relic. He mentioned that there are two other relics somewhere in Aekran that, when brought together, would lead their holder to an ancient ruin filled with unimaginable treasures. You decided to keep that in mind, just in case.
[0/3] Obtain the three relics
The emperor of Aekran has contacted you directly. He has requested your presence in Acrus, the capital city of Aekran. You're unsure of what the emperor is asking of you, but completing a contract for him would not only pay well, but would also vastly improve your reputation. On your way to Acrus, however, you were ambushed by unknown assailants. You'll have to get through them before you can get to Acrus.
Your meeting with the emperor was interesting. He informed you of an unusual rumor of monstrous sea creatures attacking people and dragging them into the sea, never to be seen again. He has asked you to investigate this matter and, if the rumors are true, put a stop to it.
You engaged a bizarre sea creature in combat and have slain it. Whatever it is, it doesn't seem like a naturally occurring creature. This thing was created by someone, somehow. Not only that, but you encountered a ghost wearing sunglasses that wants you dead. You have decided to tell the emperor what happened on the shore.
The emperor directed you toward the town of Ironhaven. A seer lives there, and she should be able to help you deal with the sunglasses-wearing ghost.

=====[Magic stats]=====
==[Magic]==
Your basic knowledge of magic. It primarily affects basic magic spells, but has a slight influence on all other types of magic.
==[Hydromancy]==
Your knowledge of water magic. Water-based spells are highly versatile and can be used in offensive and defensive roles.
==[Pyromancy]==
Your knowledge of fire magic. Fire-based spells are primarily offensive, dealing high damage and immolating targets.
==[Geomancy]==
Your knowledge of earth magic. Earth-based spells have strong defensive capabilities, while also being useful attacks.
==[Aeromancy]==
Your knowledge of wind magic. Wind-based spells can be used in several ways, from enhancing mobility to breaking the enemy's formation.
==[Cryomancy]==
Your knowledge of ice magic. Ice-based spells can take the form of powerful attacks or inexorable
defensive wards.
==[Electromancy]==
Your knowledge of lightning magic. Lightning-based spells have excellent attack power, and synergize well with water magic.
==[Necromancy]==
Your knowledge of necromancy. Necromancers are able to reanimate the dead, as well as create deadly
poisons and toxins.
==[Polymancy]==
Your knowledge of shapeshifting magic. Polymorphs are highly respected in combat for their adaptability and quick thinking.

==[Dark magic]==

Here is a list of all stats.
==[HP]==
Your hit points. These decrease as you take damage. If you run out of HP, you get KO'd.
==[Damage resistances]==
Damage resistances indicate a percentage reduction to the damage you take. Most resistances are divided into the various damage types. One point of damage resistance reduces incoming damage by 1%.
==[Defenses]==
Defenses indicate a static reduction to the damage you take. Most defenses are divided into the various damage types. One point of defense reduces incoming damage by one point.
==[Status resistances]==
Status resistances indicate your ability to resist status effects applied to you. Status resistances are divided into vitality status resistance and endurance status resistance. Higher status resistance reduces the chance of you being afflicted with a status effect, as well as the potency of the status effect if you do get afflicted.
==[Equip load]==
Your equip load measures how heavy your equipped gear can be. As you get closer to the maximum, your evasion rolls will be lowered, and if you go over your maximum equip load, you won't be able to evade attacks at all.
==[Speed]==
Speed determines when in each turn you'll be able to take your action. Raising your speed will allow you take your actions sooner in the turn.
==[Mana]==
Mana is used to cast spells and use active abilities. You regenerate some of your mana every turn.
==[Inventory capacity]==
Your carrying capacity determines how many items you can carry on your person. Heavier items take up more space. This is a separate stat from equip load, so having a full inventory won't affect your ability to dodge.
==[Persuasion score]==
Persuasion score is your ability to talk your way into getting what you want. There are several factors that influence persuasion score, most notably your charisma attribute. Higher persuasion score makes it easier to win people over with words alone.
The order in which units take their turn is determined by their speed and the results of a dice roll. Your turn priority is your speed + (1 x D6). Units with the highest turn priority go first, and units with the lowest go last. Turn order will be listed on every update. If a player doesn't take their action in an update, their action that turn will be skipped.
KO'd players will automatically be revived with 10% of their max HP at the end of combat. There are other means of reviving players in the middle of battle, though they require abilities, items, or particularly effective healing attempts.
There are also preset abilities that can be learned throughout the game, at various sources. You can mix these in with your custom abilities to create a build that works perfectly for you.
Here is a list of all damage types.
Impact: inflicted by bludgeoning weapons. Can occasionally stagger an enemy, hindering their accuracy and evasion.
Slash: inflicted by blades. Can occasionally cause enemies to bleed.
Puncture: inflicted by thrusting weapons and projectiles. Can occasionally weaken an enemy, reducing their damage output.
Water: inflicted by hydromancy and water-infused weapons. Can occasionally douse the target in water, making them vulnerable to electricity.

My Characters
Hi! This is me, hello!
I'm Vevos! HIS INNER DEMON.
Get out! I'm Alice!
Hey! I'm Draco!
Please help my Pokemon grow: http://pfq.me/GoldHero101
"Seems like you realize you're outclassed. How about you make this easier for all of us, and surrender while you have the chance?"
Geralt is either toppled and anchored or upright but still beaten up. I motion for my allies to cover the exits, and keep my sword pointed at the enemy, ready to strike if he makes a...poor decision.
If you've met TehEpicNinja9001, you've met me. Somehow lost the account's password and email. Maybe I'll try and get it back one day. Or maybe not.
Apparently, if you put these in your signature, people will click them. Help me grow my Pokemon dudes!
If Geralt tries to run (and that’s if he can), I send a quadruplet of Arcane Missiles in front of him to stop him.
I go around Geralt to cut off one of his possible escape routes, then I stab him.
You attack Geralt.
Geralt's evasion roll: 4.
Your roll: 1 (critical failure!)
Something goes wrong as you cast the spell, and it blows up in your face. Fortunately, you only take 1 damage. You gain 3 XP.
==[Enemy action]==
Geralt says, "Maybe I underestimated you."
He casts Quen to shield himself before moving toward the nearest exit.
Your allies cover the exits, and you make your statement, your weapon pointed at him.
You keep your spell at the ready, just in case.
==[Ally action]==
Morgan steps up to Geralt, axes readied in case he tries to run.
You cut off a possible escape route, then stab at Geralt.
Geralt's evasion roll: 6.
Your roll: 11.
Your crit roll: 6 (failed).
You hit him for 17 damage. You gain 9 XP
Geralt glances around before lowering his weapon. He glares at Seymour.
"Look around you," Seymour says, "You're surrounded. You're outmatched. Just give up now."
Geralt chuckles, "Outmatched? By you? That's hilarious. If you don't mind, I'll be leaving on my own terms."
"Not gonna happen, pal," Morgan counters.
Geralt ignores Morgan and continues speaking to Seymour, "Look, it doesn't have to be like this. As long as I don't get all three artifacts, you have nothing to worry about. So, as long at one of them remains in Morgan's thieving hands, I'm basically a nobody, right?" He swiftly casts the Axii sign on Seymour.
Seymour's willpower roll: 6.
Geralt's roll: 3.
Seymour resists the sign's effects.
"Gonna take more than that," Seymour says.
"Well, damn," Geralt mutters.
You have Geralt surrounded. What do you do?

Current location:
City of Acrus
Current quests:
Monstrous sea creatures do exist, and that appear to be lead by a ghost that wears sunglasses and speaks like a surfer dude. Honestly, it's not the weirdest thing that's happened to you on a job. The ghost is likely being summoned and controlled by a sorcerer somewhere in Aekran, and stopping them would more than likely dispel the spirit and destroy the sea monsters. In order to track down this malevolent sorcerer, the emperor has informed you of a seer in Ironhaven who should be able to help you. To get to Ironhaven, however, you'll need to obtain a boat.
[ ] Obtain a boat from the docks
On the way to Acrus, you were attacked by a group of brigands intending to rob you. One of them managed to escape, but he dropped what appears to be an identification badge depicting a hawk impaled with two swords. Judging by the fact that they have matching badges, they may be an organized faction. There may be value in learning more about them.
Apparently, these bandits are been lurking around Acrus for some time. One of the city guards mentioned one of them being detained. You might be able to use your reputation to question the bandit and learn more.
[√]
Find out more about the brigands[√]
Question the detained brigand[ ] Investigate the brigand hideout in the woods
[ ] Investigate the brigand hideout in Acrus
[ ] Investigate the brigand hideout along the country road
==[Magical Artifacts]==
You happened upon a mysterious fellow in the sewers of Acrus, carrying an unusual relic. He mentioned that there are two other relics somewhere in Aekran that, when brought together, would lead their holder to an ancient ruin filled with unimaginable treasures. You decided to keep that in mind, just in case.
[0/3] Obtain the three relics
The emperor of Aekran has contacted you directly. He has requested your presence in Acrus, the capital city of Aekran. You're unsure of what the emperor is asking of you, but completing a contract for him would not only pay well, but would also vastly improve your reputation. On your way to Acrus, however, you were ambushed by unknown assailants. You'll have to get through them before you can get to Acrus.
Your meeting with the emperor was interesting. He informed you of an unusual rumor of monstrous sea creatures attacking people and dragging them into the sea, never to be seen again. He has asked you to investigate this matter and, if the rumors are true, put a stop to it.
You engaged a bizarre sea creature in combat and have slain it. Whatever it is, it doesn't seem like a naturally occurring creature. This thing was created by someone, somehow. Not only that, but you encountered a ghost wearing sunglasses that wants you dead. You have decided to tell the emperor what happened on the shore.
The emperor directed you toward the town of Ironhaven. A seer lives there, and she should be able to help you deal with the sunglasses-wearing ghost.

=====[Magic stats]=====
==[Magic]==
Your basic knowledge of magic. It primarily affects basic magic spells, but has a slight influence on all other types of magic.
==[Hydromancy]==
Your knowledge of water magic. Water-based spells are highly versatile and can be used in offensive and defensive roles.
==[Pyromancy]==
Your knowledge of fire magic. Fire-based spells are primarily offensive, dealing high damage and immolating targets.
==[Geomancy]==
Your knowledge of earth magic. Earth-based spells have strong defensive capabilities, while also being useful attacks.
==[Aeromancy]==
Your knowledge of wind magic. Wind-based spells can be used in several ways, from enhancing mobility to breaking the enemy's formation.
==[Cryomancy]==
Your knowledge of ice magic. Ice-based spells can take the form of powerful attacks or inexorable
defensive wards.
==[Electromancy]==
Your knowledge of lightning magic. Lightning-based spells have excellent attack power, and synergize well with water magic.
==[Necromancy]==
Your knowledge of necromancy. Necromancers are able to reanimate the dead, as well as create deadly
poisons and toxins.
==[Polymancy]==
Your knowledge of shapeshifting magic. Polymorphs are highly respected in combat for their adaptability and quick thinking.
==[Light magic]==

==[Dark magic]==
Your knowledge of dark magic. Darkness-based spells are a seldom used type of magic, as their use is forbidden in several parts of the world.
Here is a list of all stats.
==[HP]==
Your hit points. These decrease as you take damage. If you run out of HP, you get KO'd.
==[Damage resistances]==
Damage resistances indicate a percentage reduction to the damage you take. Most resistances are divided into the various damage types. One point of damage resistance reduces incoming damage by 1%.
==[Defenses]==
Defenses indicate a static reduction to the damage you take. Most defenses are divided into the various damage types. One point of defense reduces incoming damage by one point.
==[Status resistances]==
Status resistances indicate your ability to resist status effects applied to you. Status resistances are divided into vitality status resistance and endurance status resistance. Higher status resistance reduces the chance of you being afflicted with a status effect, as well as the potency of the status effect if you do get afflicted.
==[Equip load]==
Your equip load measures how heavy your equipped gear can be. As you get closer to the maximum, your evasion rolls will be lowered, and if you go over your maximum equip load, you won't be able to evade attacks at all.
==[Speed]==
Speed determines when in each turn you'll be able to take your action. Raising your speed will allow you take your actions sooner in the turn.
==[Mana]==
Mana is used to cast spells and use active abilities. You regenerate some of your mana every turn.
==[Inventory capacity]==
Your carrying capacity determines how many items you can carry on your person. Heavier items take up more space. This is a separate stat from equip load, so having a full inventory won't affect your ability to dodge.
==[Persuasion score]==
Persuasion score is your ability to talk your way into getting what you want. There are several factors that influence persuasion score, most notably your charisma attribute. Higher persuasion score makes it easier to win people over with words alone.
The order in which units take their turn is determined by their speed and the results of a dice roll. Your turn priority is your speed + (1 x D6). Units with the highest turn priority go first, and units with the lowest go last. Turn order will be listed on every update. If a player doesn't take their action in an update, their action that turn will be skipped.
KO'd players will automatically be revived with 10% of their max HP at the end of combat. There are other means of reviving players in the middle of battle, though they require abilities, items, or particularly effective healing attempts.
There are also preset abilities that can be learned throughout the game, at various sources. You can mix these in with your custom abilities to create a build that works perfectly for you.
Here is a list of all damage types.
Impact: inflicted by bludgeoning weapons. Can occasionally stagger an enemy, hindering their accuracy and evasion.
Slash: inflicted by blades. Can occasionally cause enemies to bleed.
Puncture: inflicted by thrusting weapons and projectiles. Can occasionally weaken an enemy, reducing their damage output.
Water: inflicted by hydromancy and water-infused weapons. Can occasionally douse the target in water, making them vulnerable to electricity.
Fire: inflicted by pyromancy and fire-infused weapons. Can occasionally light the target on fire.
Earth: inflicted by geomancy and earth-infused weapons. Can occasionally shatter an enemy's defenses, leaving them vulnerable.
Wind: inflicted by aeromancy and wind-infused weapons. Can occasionally disarm the target, weakening them or forcing them to grab their weapon.
Ice: inflicted by cryomancy and ice-infused weapons. Can occasionally freeze the target.
Electric: inflicted by electromancy and lightning-infused weapons. Can occasionally electrify the target, which also shocks nearby enemies.
Toxic: inflicted by poisons. Can occasionally poison the target.
Magic: inflicted by magic. Can occasionally hex the target, making them more vulnerable to status effects.
Light: inflicted by light magic. Can occasionally blind the target, or severely damage eldritch creatures.
Dark: inflicted by dark magic. Can occasionally corrupt the target, which can frequently lead to an early demise.
If you are below 30% of your max equip load, you'll gain +1 to your evasion dice rolls.
If you're between 30% and 60%, your evasion won't be impacted at all.
If you're over 60%, you'll gain -1 to your evasion rolls.
If you're over 100%, you won't be able to dodge attacks at all.

Get out! I'm Alice!
Hey! I'm Draco!
Please help my Pokemon grow: http://pfq.me/GoldHero101
I check Gerald's response to the persuasion with an Insight roll. If he lies, I go for a pommel-strike knockout.
If you've met TehEpicNinja9001, you've met me. Somehow lost the account's password and email. Maybe I'll try and get it back one day. Or maybe not.
Apparently, if you put these in your signature, people will click them. Help me grow my Pokemon dudes!
If Zephil's persuation did not work, I follow Seymour's knockout blow by punching Geralt. A straight-up punch that hopefully knocks him out (if Seymour's blow didn't).
Persuasion success!
Geralt lets out a sigh before saying, "Very well."
He hands you the relic. "Can I go now?" he asks.
Your roll: 14.
He tells the truth. He's given you the real relic.
Geralt has given you the relic. He seems eager to leave. What will you do?

Each party member recovers (1 x D4 + Zephil's persuasion score divided by 10) HP each combat turn.

Current location:
City of Acrus
Current quests:
Monstrous sea creatures do exist, and that appear to be lead by a ghost that wears sunglasses and speaks like a surfer dude. Honestly, it's not the weirdest thing that's happened to you on a job. The ghost is likely being summoned and controlled by a sorcerer somewhere in Aekran, and stopping them would more than likely dispel the spirit and destroy the sea monsters. In order to track down this malevolent sorcerer, the emperor has informed you of a seer in Ironhaven who should be able to help you. To get to Ironhaven, however, you'll need to obtain a boat.
[ ] Obtain a boat from the docks
On the way to Acrus, you were attacked by a group of brigands intending to rob you. One of them managed to escape, but he dropped what appears to be an identification badge depicting a hawk impaled with two swords. Judging by the fact that they have matching badges, they may be an organized faction. There may be value in learning more about them.
Apparently, these bandits are been lurking around Acrus for some time. One of the city guards mentioned one of them being detained. You might be able to use your reputation to question the bandit and learn more.
[√]
Find out more about the brigands[√]
Question the detained brigand[ ] Investigate the brigand hideout in the woods
[ ] Investigate the brigand hideout in Acrus
[ ] Investigate the brigand hideout along the country road
==[Magical Artifacts]==
You happened upon a mysterious fellow in the sewers of Acrus, carrying an unusual relic. He mentioned that there are two other relics somewhere in Aekran that, when brought together, would lead their holder to an ancient ruin filled with unimaginable treasures. You decided to keep that in mind, just in case.
[1/3] Obtain the three relics
The emperor of Aekran has contacted you directly. He has requested your presence in Acrus, the capital city of Aekran. You're unsure of what the emperor is asking of you, but completing a contract for him would not only pay well, but would also vastly improve your reputation. On your way to Acrus, however, you were ambushed by unknown assailants. You'll have to get through them before you can get to Acrus.
Your meeting with the emperor was interesting. He informed you of an unusual rumor of monstrous sea creatures attacking people and dragging them into the sea, never to be seen again. He has asked you to investigate this matter and, if the rumors are true, put a stop to it.
You engaged a bizarre sea creature in combat and have slain it. Whatever it is, it doesn't seem like a naturally occurring creature. This thing was created by someone, somehow. Not only that, but you encountered a ghost wearing sunglasses that wants you dead. You have decided to tell the emperor what happened on the shore.
The emperor directed you toward the town of Ironhaven. A seer lives there, and she should be able to help you deal with the sunglasses-wearing ghost.

=====[Magic stats]=====
==[Magic]==
Your basic knowledge of magic. It primarily affects basic magic spells, but has a slight influence on all other types of magic.
==[Hydromancy]==
Your knowledge of water magic. Water-based spells are highly versatile and can be used in offensive and defensive roles.
==[Pyromancy]==
Your knowledge of fire magic. Fire-based spells are primarily offensive, dealing high damage and immolating targets.
==[Geomancy]==
Your knowledge of earth magic. Earth-based spells have strong defensive capabilities, while also being useful attacks.
==[Aeromancy]==
Your knowledge of wind magic. Wind-based spells can be used in several ways, from enhancing mobility to breaking the enemy's formation.
==[Cryomancy]==
Your knowledge of ice magic. Ice-based spells can take the form of powerful attacks or inexorable
defensive wards.
==[Electromancy]==
Your knowledge of lightning magic. Lightning-based spells have excellent attack power, and synergize well with water magic.
==[Necromancy]==
Your knowledge of necromancy. Necromancers are able to reanimate the dead, as well as create deadly
poisons and toxins.
==[Polymancy]==
Your knowledge of shapeshifting magic. Polymorphs are highly respected in combat for their adaptability and quick thinking.
==[Light magic]==
Your knowledge of light magic. Light-based spells are primarily used to ward off demonic creatures and heal wounds.
==[Dark magic]==
Your knowledge of dark magic. Darkness-based spells are a seldom used type of magic, as their use is forbidden in several parts of the world.
Here is a list of all stats.
==[HP]==
Your hit points. These decrease as you take damage. If you run out of HP, you get KO'd.
==[Damage resistances]==
Damage resistances indicate a percentage reduction to the damage you take. Most resistances are divided into the various damage types. One point of damage resistance reduces incoming damage by 1%.
==[Defenses]==
Defenses indicate a static reduction to the damage you take. Most defenses are divided into the various damage types. One point of defense reduces incoming damage by one point.
==[Status resistances]==
Status resistances indicate your ability to resist status effects applied to you. Status resistances are divided into vitality status resistance and endurance status resistance. Higher status resistance reduces the chance of you being afflicted with a status effect, as well as the potency of the status effect if you do get afflicted.
==[Equip load]==
Your equip load measures how heavy your equipped gear can be. As you get closer to the maximum, your evasion rolls will be lowered, and if you go over your maximum equip load, you won't be able to evade attacks at all.
==[Speed]==
Speed determines when in each turn you'll be able to take your action. Raising your speed will allow you take your actions sooner in the turn.
==[Mana]==
Mana is used to cast spells and use active abilities. You regenerate some of your mana every turn.
==[Inventory capacity]==
Your carrying capacity determines how many items you can carry on your person. Heavier items take up more space. This is a separate stat from equip load, so having a full inventory won't affect your ability to dodge.
==[Persuasion score]==
Persuasion score is your ability to talk your way into getting what you want. There are several factors that influence persuasion score, most notably your charisma attribute. Higher persuasion score makes it easier to win people over with words alone.
The order in which units take their turn is determined by their speed and the results of a dice roll. Your turn priority is your speed + (1 x D6). Units with the highest turn priority go first, and units with the lowest go last. Turn order will be listed on every update. If a player doesn't take their action in an update, their action that turn will be skipped.
KO'd players will automatically be revived with 10% of their max HP at the end of combat. There are other means of reviving players in the middle of battle, though they require abilities, items, or particularly effective healing attempts.
There are also preset abilities that can be learned throughout the game, at various sources. You can mix these in with your custom abilities to create a build that works perfectly for you.
Here is a list of all damage types.
Impact: inflicted by bludgeoning weapons. Can occasionally stagger an enemy, hindering their accuracy and evasion.
Slash: inflicted by blades. Can occasionally cause enemies to bleed.
Puncture: inflicted by thrusting weapons and projectiles. Can occasionally weaken an enemy, reducing their damage output.
Water: inflicted by hydromancy and water-infused weapons. Can occasionally douse the target in water, making them vulnerable to electricity.
Fire: inflicted by pyromancy and fire-infused weapons. Can occasionally light the target on fire.
Earth: inflicted by geomancy and earth-infused weapons. Can occasionally shatter an enemy's defenses, leaving them vulnerable.
Wind: inflicted by aeromancy and wind-infused weapons. Can occasionally disarm the target, weakening them or forcing them to grab their weapon.
Ice: inflicted by cryomancy and ice-infused weapons. Can occasionally freeze the target.
Electric: inflicted by electromancy and lightning-infused weapons. Can occasionally electrify the target, which also shocks nearby enemies.
Toxic: inflicted by poisons. Can occasionally poison the target.
Magic: inflicted by magic. Can occasionally hex the target, making them more vulnerable to status effects.
Light: inflicted by light magic. Can occasionally blind the target, or severely damage eldritch creatures.
Dark: inflicted by dark magic. Can occasionally corrupt the target, which can frequently lead to an early demise.
If you are below 30% of your max equip load, you'll gain +1 to your evasion dice rolls.
If you're between 30% and 60%, your evasion won't be impacted at all.
If you're over 60%, you'll gain -1 to your evasion rolls.
If you're over 100%, you won't be able to dodge attacks at all.

"I for one am glad that we can end this conflict peacefully..." I say.
"We'll let you go. But if you are up to something malicious again when we next meet, we will see to it that you face justice in whatever form it may be. Is that clear?" I then give Geralt a stern warning.
"I concur with The Crafter. You may go."
