Rule Book - Fables of Fenorra

Ricochet
Some monsters can redirect a battle magic spell that
hits them. This is represented by the creature stating
“Ricochet ” and throwing a packet.
This ability follows all of the normal spell casting
rules. If the monster says the verbal incorrectly,
doesn’t throw a packet, or the packet misses, the
ability is used up; however, the monster will not be
affected by the original spell. This ability must be
used immediately or the chance to use it is gone, and
cannot be used before a Shield Magic or other
appropriate spell defense.
Spell Strike
A few powerful magical creatures have the ability to
generate spell effects in their weapons. The spell
effects are just as the spell, except that they are
delivered with a weapon strike instead of a spell
packet. As with any weapon strike, all weapon safety
rules must be followed. The spells are still subject to
spell defenses as a normal spell. This ability does not
require Body contact. When this power is used, the
player will call “Spell Strike ” and will
deliver a NERO-safe hit. The skill can still be used
even when silenced, but the effect is recognizable to
all who hear it.
The spell portion of a Spell Strike is only stopped by
defenses that would stop the attack if it were
delivered by packet. Therefore, Magic Armor,
although it stops “the next single strike by a NERO
Safe weapon”, does not stop a Spell strike. Since a
Spell strike is weapon-delivered, the user must have
the in-game skill to wield the weapon in order to use
the Spell strike. For example, if the user is under a
game effect that prohibits the use of in-game skills,
then they cannot use a Spell strike. Also, if the Spell
strike is delivered by a non-ranged weapon, then the
attack will not affect creatures under the effects of a
Sanctuary and Desecrate, as appropriate.
Sunder
This ability allows a character to block a melee
weapon attack which is physical (i.e. not a spell strike
or elemental, etc) and in turn delivers a physical
destroy to the weapon which has struck them. The
correct verbal to use is “Sunder.”
Superhuman Strength
Any creature with superhuman strength can do more
damage with any particular weapon than can a
normal human. This bonus damage is split in half if
the creature is fighting with any weapon other than a
two handed one. Note, that creatures with
Superhuman Strength can gain only limited
advantage from either an Endow or a Delayed
Endow. (See the spell description on for more
details).
Vampyre Charm
Vampyres can charm a person if they can maintain
eye contact for 10 seconds. More powerful Vampyres
can deliver packet attack Vampyre Charms as well.
This power does not require body contact. If you are
charmed by a Vampyre, then you must obey all
commands the Vampyre gives you. These commands
are absolute and are much more powerful than a
Charm spell; if a vampire tells you to commit
suicide, you will do so unquestioningly. Spell
defenses appropriate to the delivery type can be used
to stop a packet-delivered Vampyre Charm. The
racial skill Resist Charm will protect the character
from this effect. The effect lasts five minutes. This
effect is stronger than Charm, Shun, Dominate or
Fear. The most recent Control Undead, Vampyre
Charm or Enslavement effect will take precedent if
there is a conflict.
Waste
This attack causes a Drain and Disease effect on the
victim. Waste will last for ten minutes or it can be
removed with an Invigorate and Cure Disease spell.
Or this effect may be Dispelled.
Special Defenses and Vulnerabilities
Some creatures have special defenses that protect the
creature from attacks, or weaknesses that make it
more vulnerable to certain effects.
Damage Cap
This ability allows the creature to limit the
amount of damage taken from weapon attacks
that would otherwise affect it. The call for a
Damage Cap is “Cap x”, where “x” is the
amount of damage the creature is taking.
Damage never affects spells, slays or
assassinates.
Double from
Some creatures take double damage from certain
effects or spells and it is always written on their
character documentation. All damage of that type
that would normally affect the creature is
doubled by the recipient when they are hit.
Shield
This monster ability acts just like Resist except
that it must be used on the first applicable attack
that would affect the creature. This means they
can only be used after Spell Defenses like Shield
Magic and Reflect Magic.
Focus
Creatures with this ability are not subject to
Disruption for one or more of their attacks.
Gaseous Form
Creatures that are forced into gaseous form when
they are killed drop their possessions. Creatures
which voluntarily turn into gaseous form while
still “alive” can bring their possessions with
them. Creatures that turn gaseous will drop any
other creatures being carried at that time. While
