Toni Sihvonen (order #92780) 6
Bane: 90
“Thorn pierce [specific creature or person]” (-2). The
weapon ignores all armor (except the Armor of Honor)
for a specific creature (for instance, the Worm of
Abbingdon) or named person (Duke Hervis of Anglia).
An additional +60 creates a Bane that affects an entire
Lineage of people or all of a certain type of creature (all
wolves, all thyrs).
Curse
Doom: 70
“Man, Eo give the outcast [name] no friends” (-4). The
target must have been renounced, outlawed, made a
nithing, or have cheated the gods. He suffers -5 to all
attempts to impress or persuade new acquaintances, who
in turn gain +5 Suspicious against him. The target is
always preceded by rumors of his bad deeds, or suspected
of things he didn’t do: the worst possible interpretation
is placed on his actions and motives.
Wretch: 80
“Eo, Rad, Oe keep the outcast [name] homeless.” The target
must meet the same standards as a Doomed man,
above. The target cannot remain in one district for more
than a moon. Men, gods, fate, and the elements will
destroy him if he tries.
Emotion
Calm Berserk: 60
“Man, Daeg, calm the Berserk” (-2). The Berserk target
gets a free recovery roll at +5.
Incite Berserk: 70
“Man, Thorn, Hag1 make the [user/target] Berserk“ (-3).
This is a version of Evoke Emotion (Pendragon page 289).
The target must either test Battle Rage for Pure Berserk, or
test a Passion that might make him Berserk, solely to see
if he becomes Berserk. If this is a permanent effect, the target
must test every night, or every time he uses the
beruned item.
Berserk Magic
These spells all include the limitation, “must be purely
Berserk and/or in animal form.”
BiteKlaw: 30
The Berserk can do his full damage barehanded or in animal
form.
Harry: 50
Wolf-Berserks only. The Berserk forces one melee target
per round to check DEX for Knockdown before combat
resolution: if the target fails, the Berserk gains a +/-5
modifier for attacking a downed man.
Hide of the Animal: 40
The Berserk gains +3 magical armor per 40 points.
Hug: 50
Bear-Berserks only. The Berserk gains +10 strength for
Grappling only.
Ram: 30
Boar-Berserks only. The Berserk’s attack automatically
forces one target per round to test DEX -10 for
Knockdown, after sustaining damage.
Attrition
Attrition shows whether your Lineage, Famous Items, or
“permanent” Rune Magic effects fade over the years. This
extra bookkeeping is optional, but fairly simple.
Lineage Attrition: To receive Annual Glory for your lineage,
you must pass a Love (Cynn) roll in the Winter
Phase. Failure in one year means you earn no Lineage
Glory that year. Each consecutive annual failure after the
first removes one name from your lineage -the last one.
This does not mean that you have “lost” or “forgotten”
descent from this ancestor: rather, other persons claiming
to be his descendants have eclipsed your claim. The
gamemaster may boost your Love (Cynn) for keeping
your lineage intact if you have conspicuously bragged
about your ancestors, tended their graves, or hired poets
to praise them in the preceding year.
Any lineage you still have when you die passes intact to
your heirs. It includes your name if you earned at least
2,000 Glory in life. If you gained 4,000 Glory or more,
yours is a Great name. [Lineage: page 691
Glorious Item Attrition: This resembles lineage attrition,
as an item may lose fame if it is not kept in the public eye.
Each year that the item is not carried prominently, it temporarily
loses ld6 points of Glory/lnsight. If it ever loses
all its Glory, it is no longer a Glorious item, just an interesting
piece of family history. If it is brought back to the
attention of the public with even 1 Glory/lnsight point
remaining, it regains all the Glory/lnsight it temporarily
lost. The GM may rule that some items are so inherently
