threshold or a damage cap. Before using the character
must call out “Prepare to Die!” this is an OOG
statement. The Slay is considered used as soon as the
statement is made. The Slay will be active until the
blow is landed, or five minutes passes. If the blow is
landed, the Slay damage can be negated by other
game defenses such as phase, dodge, parry, Magic
armor, etc. The 5 minute time period cannot be
shortened by any other means, including having the
weapon disarmed or destroyed, calling a defense,
killed and then Life’d, falling unconscious, etc. When
engaging new opponents you must announce “Active
Slay” this is an OOG statement and can be made
even when silenced. A player hit by a Slay who does
not die from the Slay must announce that the Slay
was successful by saying “hit” or role-playing
appropriately. This informs the fighter using the Slay
that he or she must then begin calling regular damage
again. This skill uses the same handedness rules and
specific weapon rules as critical attack and Weapon
proficiency.
For every 2 weapon proficiencies a Critical Slay
and/or a parry may be purchased, but not two of the
same skill.
Crystomancy: This skill allows the character to
mine and refine Resonance crystals. For each time
Crystomancy is bought, the character gets one
Production Point. Crystomancy can be used to
determine if a crystal found in game can be used for
Resonance purposes and can be used to determine if a
crystal is present within a creatures body.
Handling Crystals:(requires effect levels of
Crystomancy) To prepare a crystal requires at
least the purchase of a number of levels of the
Crystomancy skill equal to the production level
value of the crystal being used. Note that all
crystal packets must be blue to differentiate them
from spell packets (which cannot be blue).
Dexterous Armor: This represents the characters
natural agility, their ability to avoid harm and
damage. Each point of this skill is equivalent to one
point of armor. This skill does not stack with Natural
Armor or physical armor. To reset this armor, the act
of stretching must be performed uninterrupted for 60
seconds. Any in-game effect that would prevent the
character’s ability to move freely nullifies the
Dexterous Armor while under this affect. This
includes Pin; Bind; Web; Confine; Iron Maiden;
Imprison; paralyze; physical entangles; Paste of
Stickiness and affects such as Sleep and other forms
of unconsciousness or incapacitation which would
not allow for free conscious movement. Once the
restrictive affect is removed or has worn off the
Dexterous armor returns at the same strength it was at
before the affect took place. The amount of
Dexterous Armor a character can purchase is limited
to their class maximum. This skill remains unaffected
by the skill wear extra armor.
Dhampyr's Will: This skill allows a character to
resist charm or charm another person per day per
purchase of the skill. For each purchase the character
must chose to resist or to charm. If the character
chooses to Charm this must be delivered by packet
and as Magic deliverance. The maximum purchase
amount for this skill is four.
Disarm/Arm Trap: This skill allows the character
to attempt to disarm or set a trap. It does not
guarantee success. You must have this skill to even
attempt to disarm or set a trap. You may not even cut
an obvious trip wire without this skill. Traps may
only be set in the presence of a marshal. This skill is
difficult to use without some simple tools such as a
knife, candle, probe, etc. See “So You Want to Be a
Thief?” for advice.
Dodge: This use of the skill allows the character to
dodge any single NERO safe weapon attack or any
packet delivered attack for each time the skill is
purchased. It does not protect against traps (except
for weapon traps), Waylay, or Killing Blows. Dodge
cannot be used if a character is completely
immobilized, such as in a Confine or a Paralysis.
Dodge can be bought after every two Backstabs.
A Character may purchase either an Assassinate
and/or a Dodge for every 2 backstab purchases.
The Dodge racial skill can be purchased a maximum
of two times and no back stab prerequisites are
needed.
Douse: This skill allows a character to “spout”
elemental water damage. The cost is 1 build for every
2 points of damage, with a maximum purchase of ten
times. The call would be “# Elemental Water” and is
delivered by packet only. The damage can be broken
up at player discretion, and the “pool” of purchased
damage resets as per daily skills.
Dreams Bane: This skill allows the character to
deliver one magic Awaken per day per purchase of
the skill. This Awaken can be used on others and can
also be used on themselves as a casting or as an
innate ability. This meaning that if the character is
under the effect of something that requires an awaken
to cure the character may state “innate Awaken” and
the cured of the ailment. The maximum purchase
amount for this skill is four.
Earthen Root: This skill allows a character to have a
threshold when their feet are planted on natural
ground. With each purchase of the skill 1 point of
threshold is gained. The character may not move
their feet or lose concentration (i.e. lose
consciousness in any way), or the threshold is
broken. The Earthen Root maximum available points
may be broken up at the player’s discretion. Once
points are used they will reset as a per day skill. The
maximum purchase amount of this skill is twenty.
