Paths to Walk If a character chooses so he/she may follow a Path. Each path represents a particular philosophy and way of life. A character may choose only one path to follow and must roleplay accordingly. As a character gains experience following a particular Path he/she will gain access to unique Path Skills. This is represented by the Tiered Skill system in our Campaign. To purchase a Path Skill your character must meet the level requirement of that particular tier skill. The Tier to level requirement chart is as follows: Nature Tier Level 1 6 2 8 3 11 4 15 5 20 To walk the path of Nature is to be one with the natural world around you. Nature followers understand the natural balance of Fenorra and seek to maintain harmony. They keep this balance both in their hearts and in the way they live their lives. A true follower of nature knows when to help, and when to leave things alone. The true nature of Fenorra is a dual edged blade. There are the caring, nurturing protectors of the groves, and then there are their counterparts, the ferocious, unyielding avengers of the wood. Perceiving the proper times to fall into either mentality is the burden of those who walk the path. Enchantment Tier 1 Purify Blood Tier 2 Resist Poison Tier 3 Physical Entangle Tier 4 Nature Cloak Tier 5 Regenerate The path of Enchantment calls to those of magical affinity. Practitioners who wish to hone their skills beyond the tradition of tomes and components, draw from their own being to develop a mastery of skills that are unattainable by other means. Members of this path devote their lives to scholarly pursuits and value knowledge above all else. Followers of the path of Enchantment learn to view magic as a tangible energy that can be handled and shaped. This understanding allows them to use and control raw magical energy without scroll or incant. Chaos Tier 1 Magic Control Tier 2 Resist Magic Tier 3 Self-Enchant Tier 4 Magic Cloak Tier 5 Innate Dispel Magic Those who follow this path obey their own whims, and do not obey the natural order of things. Chaos is all about disruption, confusion and defiance. Defying the cycle of life, they are known to control the unnatural undead with their very voices, and shrugging off magics that wrack their very bodies. One is never quite sure what someone following the path of Chaos will do. Only one thing can be certain. Whatever they do will have fun doing it. However, the path does require a certain devotion to it, and most if not all members follow an honor code. Chaos does not breed evil that is the bailiwick of Shadow. Radiance Tier 1 Taunt Tier 2 Resist Fenorrian Harming Tier 3 Control Lesser Undead by Voice Tier 4 Chaos Cloak Tier 5 Chaos Storm The path of radiance is the path of the righteous. Those who commit themselves to justice and upholding what is goodly will seek this path. Followers will protect the innocent and the helpless and attempt to thwart those with evil intentions. Known as stalwart defenders those on the path of Radiance never back down in the face of evil in any form. They seek to illuminate the world for only in the purest of light can evil have nowhere to hide. Shadow Tier 1 Magic Awaken Tier 2 Resist Physical Tier 3 Armor of Light Tier 4 Light Cloak Tier 5 Valiant Stand This is the path of darkness and deceit. Those who follow the path of Shadow use any means necessary to further their goals and care not for the well-being of others. Favored path of assassins and politicians, the path of Shadow calls to those who value 27
subterfuge and subtlety over heavy handed and overt actions. While followers of the path of Shadow only seek to further their own desires it is not uncommon for a Shadow follower to work alongside or aid others when it would work to their own advantage. Tier 1 Magic Charm Tier 2 Resist Bindings Tier 3 Magic Drain Tier 4 Shadow Cloak Tier 5 Phase Skills System NERO characters advance by purchasing skills. Each skill you learn allows you to perform a particular task or group of tasks. Many can only be used a limited number of times per day. Some skills allow you to improve your abilities when the skill is bought multiple times. Be sure to carefully read the skill descriptions. Standard Reset In any case where a skill can be used only a certain number of times per day (such as Critical Slays or spells), the used skills will not return to you until the next day at 6AM or 6 PM. This is known as a reset. These are called “limited resets” and do not refresh craft/ production skills, formal magic skills, or magic items. The Skill System NERO is a fantasy game. By that, we mean that it is a compilation of rules and customs by which we allow people to simulate doing things that they cannot really do. The most obvious of these things is magic. You should not be fooled into thinking that your personal skill equates to the character skill it represents. For instance, we have weapon skills. You must have the One Handed edged weapon skill before you are allowed to use a long sword. Many people have asked if they can at least pick up a sword and block blows with it—after all, anyone could make the attempt, could they not? The answer is no, in our game they cannot. The level of ability represented by the skill bought can be considerably different from that of your average player. It represents a skill that has required hours of practice a day for months to gain. When such an individual is faced with a person totally unskilled in weapon use, they would strike the person down with ease. The player’s skill may be somewhat less than that of the character, however, so the restrictions are used to simulate the skills. Similarly, the proficiency system represents a level of skill that the player might never obtain. We use it as a way to artificially give a player’s character, no matter what his or her real world skill, an advantage over another whose character is not as skilled. It allows a player of indifferent skill to defeat or hold their own against a player of much greater skill. This is, after all, a fantasy. A person should be able to acquire skills that allow their character to do things that they themselves could not do in real life. Spell Slots There are special rules for spell acquisition that are unlike most other skills in the game. When you purchase a 1st level spell from the skill list, what you are actually buying is one first level Spell Slot. You cast any 1st level spell from this slot of the appropriate school. Once that spell has been cast, the slot will become empty and will remain that way until the next limited, or standard reset, or until it is refilled by other means. If you have several spell slots of a given level, you can fill them with any combination of spells (of the appropriate level) that you know. You must buy spell slots in a proportional pyramid fashion. If you wish to buy a spell slot of a particular level, then you must have two more spell slots of the level below. In other words, you must have a minimum of one spell slot difference between any adjoining levels and a maximum of two spell slots difference. If you wish to buy your first 2nd level spell slot, you must have at least two 1st level spell slots already, but you may not have three. Once you have purchased four spell slots of any particular level, then you need not buy any additional spell slots of that level to complete the pyramid. Imagine now the pyramid being an obelisk with a broad support and a pointed top (like the Washington Monument). You may buy more than four spell slots per level but there must always be at least as many spell slots below that level in order to support the new amount. Further, the pyramid must be constantly building, which means that the level above must have only one less than the amount you are buying. In other words, to buy a fifth 2nd level spell slot, you must have a fifth 1st level spell slot and a fourth 3rd level spell slot. Example of Pyramid Rules: Phillip the mage has a 3rd level spell slot, two 2nd level spell slots, and three 1st level spell slots. His pyramid is fine. (figure 3-1) He wants to learn a 4th level slot eventually. He must build the foundation of the pyramid so it can support a 4th level spell. First, he buys another 1st level slot and then another 2nd level slot. He must next purchase another 3rd level slot (figure 3- 2). 28
