. Chapter Three: Attributes and Skills Reality* Use: Possessed only by possibility-rated characters. Sample limitation: Limitation must be the character’s home cosm (Core Earth, Living Land, Aysle, etc.). The reality skill is what separates possibility-rated characters from ords. All possibility-rated characters must have the reality skill. 75
TORG: Revised and Expanded Rulebook Unlike other limited skills, characters may not buy additional reality skills with different limitations; they can only have one reality skill and it must be limited to their home cosm. Its primary use in game play is to represent the strength of a character’s connection to his home reality and his ability to force reality into accepting (or at least ignoring) contradictions the character causes. When a character is disconnected because of a contradiction, the reality skill is used to reconnect the character to his home reality. It is also used to protect a character from the transformative powers of a reality storm. In some cases characters can use their reality skill to actually create reality storms in an attempt to force their own reality upon someone or something of another reality. These invoked reality storms can be exceedingly dangerous and destructive, not just to the character but to anyone around her as well. The complete rules and descriptions for all uses of the reality skill can be found in Chapters Seven and Eight. Shapeshifting Use: Cannot be used unskilled. Sample specializations: None. Reality: Orrorsh Shapeshifting is the ability (or curse) of changing form between human and animal. Most transformations are involuntary and the skill is used primarily to not change rather than to deliberately change. During character creation, any character with shapeshifting must take it as her tag skill. The rules for designing the animal form of the shapeshifter, the special abilities the shapeshifter has while in animal form and the rules for using shapeshifting can be found in the Worldbook and in the Orrorsh sourcebook. Spirit Medium Use: Cannot be used unskilled. Macro skill. Sample specializations: None. Reality: Orrorsh, Gypsies only. Spirit medium allows a character to contact the capricious spirits of Orrorsh and ask them for information. The spirits can answer any question put to them, but there’s no guarantee that their answers will be correct. The skill is not magical in nature, though the gypsy performing the séance may make it appear that way with props and appropriate-sounding gestures and incantations. The rules for use of spirit medium can be found in the Orrorsh sourcebook. 76 Swami Use: Cannot be used unskilled. Sample specializations: None. Reality: Core Earth, Orrorsh Swamis are Hindu religious teachers from either Core Earth or Orrorsh’s home cosm of Gaea. To be a swami, a character must have faith(Findaru) and this skill. The swami skill covers a number of special abilities that derive from the swami’s faith but are not miraculous in nature. The rules for use of swami can be found in the Orrorsh sourcebook. While the skill is only available in Core Earth and Orrorsh, it can be used without contradiction in any reality with a Spirit axiom of at least 8. True Sight Use: Cannot be used unskilled. Sample specializations: None. Reality: Orrorsh True sight is a quasi-mystical skill used in Orrorsh by monster hunters, swamis and Victorian occultists to detect Orrorshan corruption in another individual. Successful use of true sight reveals the actual appearance of a corrupted soul rather than the normal facade everyone else perceives. Depending on the success level of the skill check, it may also reveal useful information about the corrupted individual’s powers and weaknesses, if any. The rules for using true sight can be found in the Orrorsh sourcebook. Attributeless Skills Arcane Knowledges U s e : M u s t b e combined with a magic skill (alteration magic, apportation magic, d i v i n a t i o n m a g i c , conjuration magic.) Cannot be used unskilled. Sample specializations: None. Axiom: Magic 1 The arcane knowledges are a type of subskill used in conjunction with the four magic skills to determine the types of spells a character can learn and cast with her magic skills. They are also used in the creation of new spells designed by player characters.
