1 Player s Handbook - Chapter 6 - Magic Magic is a mystical energy that some characters and creatures are able to tap into to create unusual effects. There are two basic types of magic in the game; arcane magic and divine magic. Magic is then divided into three basic categories: Granted Powers (Divine): Granted powers are special magical powers granted by deities to their disciples. Each order grants their own special power. Granted Powers can only be used a limited number of times each day. Magic Items (Arcane/Divine): Magic items are special devices that create magical effects. Some magic items can be used by characters lacking any formal training in magic, whilst others can only be used by characters trained to use spells. The number of uses a magic item has depends on the magic item. Spells (Arcane/Divine): Spells are predefined magical effects that a character can create, either by manipulating the magical energies around them or calling upon the intervention of a divine power. Spells can only be used a limited number of times each day. All three categories are generally referred to as magical effects. Whenever the rules refers to a magical effect, it is referring to granted powers, magic items and spells. Magical Effect Format The description of each magical effect follows the same format. This section discusses that format and some of the finer points of how magical effects work. Name This is the name by which the magical effect is generally known. Type This describes the category or type that the magical effect belongs to. If the magical effect has a tier rating, this is also listed here. This entry will then also denote (in parenthesis) any limitations on who can used the magical effect. Range The maximum distance from the character at which the magical effect can affect a target. Standard ranges include: Personal: The magical effect only affects the invoker. Touch: The invoker must touch a creature or object to affect it. If the target does not wish to be touched then the invoker must make a successful attack roll against the creature s Touch AR. Range Expressed in Feet: Some magical effects have no standard range category, just a range expressed in feet. Unlimited: The magical effect can reach anywhere on the same spiritual realm. Affects This entry describes what the magical effect affects. If the target of an magical effect is the character, the character does not receive a saving throw to resist the magical effect, and magic resistance does not apply. The saving throw heading is omitted from such magical effect. (MR): If the Affects line ends with MR then any creatures affected by the magical effect, who have Magic Resistance, are able to use their Magic Resistance to resist the effects of the magical effect. Duration A magical effect s duration line tells the player how long the magical energy of the magical effect lasts. Concentration: The magical effect lasts as long as the invoker concentrates on it. Anything that breaks the invoker s concentration causes the magical effect to end. If anything risks breaking the invoker s concentration they must make a (CHA-CL) or lose the magical effect. Minor activities like a slow walk (i.e. a 5 foot step) or simple conversations do not require the invoker to make a saving throw. The invoker can t invoke a magical effect while concentrating on another one. Sometimes a magical effect lasts for a short time after the invoker ceases concen- 60

2 Chapter 6: Magic The Universal Rules of Magic GAME SYSTEM The following rules apply equally to all three types of magic. Invoker & Invoker Level Each magical effect will often refer to the invoker. This is the character or creature who invokes or activates the magical effect. Invoker level is the appropriate class level of the invoker. Combining Magical Effects Magical effects usually work as described, no matter how many other magical effects happen to be operating in the same area or on the same recipient. Effects Do Not Stack Magical effects that give bonuses or penalties to action checks, damage rolls and other attributes do not stack if they are both giving a bonus or are both giving a penalty. If more than one magical effects grants a bonus (or penalty) to an action check or combat statistic, only the highest bonus (or penalty) is counted. All others are not counted. Bringing Back the Dead Magical effects - such as a raise spell or a staff of resurrection - have the power to restore slain characters to life. Any creature brought back to life usually loses one or two levels. The character s new experience point total is midway between the minimum needed for their new level trating. In these cases, the magical effect keeps going for the stated length of time after the invoker stops concentrating. Otherwise, the invoker must concentrate to maintain the magical effect, but they can t maintain it for more than a stated duration in any event. (D): If the Duration line ends with (D), the character can dismiss the magical effect at will. The invoker must be within range of the magical effect s effect to do this. Dismissing a magical effect is a standard action. A magical effect that depends on concentration is dismissible by its very nature, and dismissing it does not require an action (since all the invoker has to do to end the magical effect is to stop concentrating). and the minimum needed for the next one. If the character was 1st level, they lose 1d3 points of CON instead of losing a level. (If this will reduce their CON to below 0, the attempt will automatically fail). This level loss or CON loss cannot be repaired by any magical effect available to mortals, even by a magical ring of wishes. However, the revived character can regain the lost level though earning further renown. Revivification Against One s Will: A soul cannot be returned to life if it does not wish to be. A soul knows the name and divine order of the character attempting to revive it and may refuse to return on that basis. Magic Resistance Magic resistance (MR) is a special defensive ability that some creature have. If a magical effect specifically targets a creature with magic resistance the creature is allowed to make an MR check. To make an MR check simply roll 3d. If the result is 12 or higher, their magic resistance protects them from the magical effect. MR applies only when a resistant creature is targeted by a magical effect, not when a resistant creature encounters a magical effect that is already in place. A creature with magic resistance can voluntarily drop the resistance in order to receive the effects of a magical effect. Instantaneous: The energy which creates the magical effect comes and goes the instant the magical effect is invoked, though the consequences of the magical effect might be long-lasting. Permanent: The energy remains as long as the magical effect does. The magical effect is vulnerable to dispel magic. Timed Duration: Many durations are measured in rounds, minutes, hours, or some other increment. When the time is up, the magic fades away and the magical effect ends. If an magical effect s duration is variable the Storyteller rolls it secretly. 61

3 Player s Handbook Saving Throw Most harmful magical effects allow an affected creature to make a saving throw to avoid some or all of the effect. The saving throw line defines which type of saving throw the magical effect allows and describes how saving throws against the magical effect work. Descriptive Text This portion of the magical effect description details what the magical effect does and how it works. Granted Powers Granted powers are special magical effects granted by the deities of an order to their disciples. Each order grants a granted power unique to them. Disciples of different orders will never share the same granted power. Invoking Granted Powers Activating a granted power requires the invoker to be holding a religious symbol dedicated to a deity of their order (such as a holy or unholy symbol). They are then required to make a successful (CHA-13). If the action check is successful, the power is successfully invoked and takes effect immediately. Table 6-1 shows the minimum level required to be able to use or gain the benefits of a magic item. Table Magic Item & Level Requirement Item Tier Minimum Level Required 1st Tier 1 2nd Tier 3 3rd Tier 5 4th Tier 7 5th Tier 9 6th Tier 11 7th Tier 13 8th Tier 15 9th Tier 17 Potions: The exception to the level requirement rule are potions. Potions can be used by anyone of any level so long as they meet any other restrictions, such as race or class. The number of times the invoker can invoke a granted power each day, is equal to their CHA modifier, or their class level as a disciple (whichever is the greater). Magic Items Magic items are physical objects which have been imbued with a magical power. Magic items are generally divided into different categories based on it s function. The category of the magic item helps determine how it is used, how often it can be used and who is able to use it. Full details on each type of magic items and what it does is included in the Game Master s Guide. However, the following rules should help act as a guide for players on what their characters can do with magic items. Magic Item Tiers Magic items have a tier rating that defines their level of power. To be able to use a magic item, a character must be of a high enough level to use the item based on the tier of the item. If the item has a class restriction, the level requirement is based on the class level of the character. Otherwise it is based on the character level of the character. Tier Bonus A large number of magic items give their user a bonus whilst using the item: If the magic item is a type of weapon, the bonus is applied to the action check made to make an attack. If the weapon would normally allow the user to add their STR modifier to the damage roll, the bonus is also added to the damaged rolled when the weapons successfully hits an opponent. If the magic item is a type of armour, the bonus is added to the armour rating of the armour. Other items may grant a bonus to other action checks. Details of this where applicable are noted in the description of the magic item. To determine the tier bonus, refer to the tier of the item as shown in Table

4 Chapter 6: Magic Table Magic Item Tier Bonus Item Tier Tier Bonus 1st to 2nd Tier +1 3rd to 4th Tier +2 5th to 6th Tier +3 7th to 8th Tier +4 9th Tier +5 Cursed Items Some magic items are cursed. These items inflict a penalty instead of granting a bonus. If a cursed item is used or worn the user is stuck with that item. Worn items cannot be taken off and other hand-held items will appear in the hands of the user when ever they try to do something that the cursed item would be used for, forcing the user to use the item. The only way to be free of a cursed item is to use a remove curse spell. Using Magic Items How a magic item is used varies from item to item. However there are three basic methods of use: Permanent Magic Items Items that generate a permanent effect usually have to be worn or carried by a character for them to use them. Weapons, tools and types of transport that fall into this category have to be actively used for them to grant their effect on the user. Items such as armour, jewellery and items of clothing have to be worn to grant their effect. Other items may grant an effect which the user benefits from so long as the user is close enough to the item to be affected by it s magic. Using Permanent Items: Using these items does not normally require an action check. The character simply needs to hold, use or be close to the item (as defined by the nature of the item). Consumable Magic Items Some magic items are temporary in nature, and may only be used once. Using the item removes it from the game, though the magic it had stored in it may have ongoing effects. Potions and food items need to be drunk or eaten to grant their magic effect. Oils evaporate once rubbed into the skin. Scrolls turn into dust once the spells stored on them are used. Other miscellaneous items may need to be broken, smashed or crushed to activate. Using Consumable: Using these items does not normally require an action check. The exception to this are scrolls. Arcane scrolls require a (INT-CL). Divine scrolls require a (WIS-CL). The challenge level of the action check is equal to the tier of the spell. Limited Magic Items Some magic items have a limited number of uses before they lose their magical powers. These will either have a set number of uses per day, week or month. Or will have a set number of charges, with one or more charges spent every time the magic in the item is activated. The effects of these magic items will either be instantaneous or have a limited duration. For ease of book keeping, items with a limited number of uses per day, week, or month reset at midnight, at the beginning of the next day, week, or month. If the magic item has a finite number of charges, it can only be used so long as it has enough charges stored in 63

5 Player s Handbook it to activate the power. Most powers will normally use a single charge, but items with multiple powers may require multiple charges to be spent. Items with charges can have their charges replenished. A character with at least 6 levels in disciple or warlock can attempt to recharge the item, but only if it is of the magic type they have access to. A disciple cannot recharge items imbued with arcane magic, and a warlock cannot recharge items imbued with divine magic. Recharging Items: The disciple or warlock must make a (CHA-15). If successful, the item replenishes some of it s magic power by drawing on the life energy of the character. Roll 2d4. The item recovers that many charges and the character takes that amount of damage to their vitality. Using Limited Items: Using these magic items usually requires the invoker to use a combination of mental and/or verbal commands. Unless noted otherwise, to successfully active the magical power stored in the item, they must make a (CHA-CL) action check, the CL based on the tier of the magic item (for example a 4th tier magic item would have a challenge level of 4). Charges/uses are not spent if the action check fails. Some magic items may have multiple powers that require charges. All the powers in these magic items share the same pool of charges. A magic item will only have a single number of charges, not a separate number of charges for each power. Equipping Multiple Items There is a limit to the number of magic items a character can have equipped and use at any single time. Common sense must be used, however, as a general rule the following guidelines normally apply: Weapons & Held Items For weapons and carried items, common sense must be used when deciding what a character can have equipped and ready for use. Whatever a character can normally carry, have ready for use, and then use in their hands is the general rule. Magic items are no different from non-magical items in this respect. Worn Items A character can normally be equipped with a set number of worn items: 1 Head Item: Hat, helmet, crown, circlet, lenses, or headdand 2 Ear Items: Earring, stud, chain 1 Neck Item: Collar, choker, necklace, amulet 1 Body Item: Breastplate, chainmail shirt, tunic 1 Pair of Leg Wear: Hoses, greaves, breaches 1 Waist: Belt, sash 1 Back Item: Cape, cloak 1 Pair of Foot Wear: Boots, shoes, sandals 1 Pair of Hand Gear: Bracers, bracelets, gloves 2 Ring Items: Rings, bands Multiple Effect Types Occasionally a character may come across a magic items that has both permanent effects and a number of charges. In such a case the item will always generate the permanent effect regardless of the number of charges it currently holds. However, once it s charges are used up, the power that needs the charges to activate becomes useless. Example: Corin has a magical sword. The sword has a permanent power granting Corin a +1 bonus to all attack and damage rolls when using the sword. It also has the ability to cast detect magic, with 15 remaining charges. The detect magic ability of the sword can only be activated so long as the sword has charges. Once all the charges are gone, this ability cannot be used. However, regardless of the number of charges, the sword will always grant the +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls. If a magic item covers multiple items, such as a suite of armour, the entire item must be worn for the character to gain the benefits of the magic imbued in the armour. If the armour include protection for body, hands, lags, feet and head, then the armour has taken up all these options. Other items cannot be worn that fit the same categories. Example: Corin has a number of magic items he likes to use. These include magic boots, a magic circlet, a magic cloak, and a pair of magic bracers. Corin then finds a set of magical plate mail whilst plundering the hoard of a monster he killed. If Corin wishes to wear the armour and gain the benefit of the magic held in it, he must take off the boots, circlet and bracers as these must be replaced by parts of the armour. The cloak is not a problem, as the plate mail does not include a cloak. 64

6 Chapter 6: Magic Saving Throws vs Magic Items Some magic items may allow saving throws to resist their effects. Where this happens the the TN of the saving throw is equal to the tier of the magic item Learning Spells A 1st level disciple or warlock already knows a spell or two (page 53). As they go on adventures they will get the opportunity to learn additional spells. However, they must first find the spell, and must be a high enough level to cast a spell when one is found (see Table 6-3). Maximum Spells per Spell Tier There is a limit to how many spells of each spell tier they can learn. Once they reach this limit, they may not learn any more spells of that tier. This limitation is based on their attribute score modifiers and class: Disciple: WIS modifier + 2 Spells Spells are predefined magical effects that an invoker can create through the use of a combination of incantations and gestures. Spells exist for both types of magic; arcane spells being the domain of warlocks, whilst divine spells are the province of disciples. Warlock: INT Modifier + 3 Spell Tiers All spells are categorised by their level of power from 1st to 9th tier. To be able to learn and cast a spell of a specific tier, a character must first reach a minimum class level in the spell casting class (disciple or warlock). Table 6-3 shows the class level each spell tier becomes available. Table Class Level & Spell Tiers Spell Tier Required Class Level 1st Tier 1 2nd Tier 3 3rd Tier 5 4th Tier 7 5th Tier 9 6th Tier 11 7th Tier 13 8th Tier 15 9th Tier 17 Example: For a disciple to be able to learn and cast 5th tier divine spells, they must first reach level 9 as a disciple. A warlock who wishes to learn and cast 7th tier arcane spells must first reach 13th level as a warlock to be able to do so. Finding New Spells & Spell Scrolls Before an invoker can learn a new spell they must first find a copy of it. Spells are written down on scrolls which are commonly referred to as spell scrolls. Spell scrolls are created by warlocks and disciples as a means of recording spells on parchment so that they can be passed onto other invokers, or used as a temporary magic item. Spell scrolls can either be found having been left forgotten in abandoned ruins, or purchased from a temple or arcanist store. Once the invoker has a spell scroll, they can either elect to keep it as a one-use magic item, or use it to learn the spell, adding it to the number of spells they can cast. 65

7 Player s Handbook Learning the Spell To learn a new spell an invoker must spend time studying the spell before it can be committed to memory. This requires the invoker to spend a number of hours equal to the tier of the spell either studying it (if it is an arcane spell), or in prayer and meditation (if it is a divine spell). This needs to be done in a quiet peaceful location free of distractions. Once the invoker has finished spending the necessary amount of time in study or prayer, they are required to make an action check. This is an INT based AC if it is an arcane spell, or a WIS based AC if it is a divine spell. The TN of the AC is based on the tier of the spell (see Table 6-4). Table TN to Learn New Spell Spell Tier TN to Learn 1st to 2nd Tier 11 3rd Tier 12 4th to 5th Tier 13 6th Tier 14 7th to 8th Tier 15 9th Tier 16 If the invoker is successful the spell is transferred from the scroll to their memory. This expends the magical energies held in the spell scroll turning the scroll to dust in the process. Casting Spells To cast a spell the character must be able to speak and gesture. If these two basic conditions are met, the invoker is required to make a successful action check: Arcane Spells: (INT-CL) Divine Spells: (WIS-CL) The challenge level of this action check is equal to the tier rating of the spell. (For example a 3rd tier spell will have a challenge level of 3). If the action check is successful, the spell is successfully cast and takes effect immediately. Spells Per Day There is a limit to the number of spells an invoker can cast each day. The number spells the invoker can cast each day, is equal to double their class level plus their CHA modifier. Multi-class invokers with levels in both disciple and warlock need to keep track of this limit for each class. Magical Backlash Tapping into the mystical forces of the universe, regardless of whether they are arcane or divine in nature, does not go without risk. Each time the invoker makes an action check to cast a spell they run the risk of the magical energies channelled by the spell being too much for them to handle. If all three of the dice rolled for the action check rolls a 1 the invokers takes damage to their vitality equal to 1d + the tier of the spell. (i.e. 1d+5 damage for a 5th tier spell). Creating Spell Scrolls Once an invoker reaches 10th level, they gain the ability to create spell scrolls. The process is lengthy and expensive, requiring the invoker to spend a number of days equal to double the tier of the spell in preparation. During this time, they must spend an amount of gold equal to the tier of the spell cubed, multiplied by 100: ((Tier x Tier) x Tier) x 100 The invoker must then make a successful action check, INT for an arcane spell scroll, or WIS for a divine spell scroll. The TN for this action check is the same as the TN to learn the spell (Table 6-2). If successful, the spell is inscribed on a sheet of parchment creating the spell scroll. Example: Jera, a 10th level warlock is attempting to create a spell scroll with dispel magic, a 3rd Tier spell, stored on it. This process will take 6 days to complete and cost a total of 2,700 gold pieces. Jera is required to make an INT action check with a TN of 12. Saving Throws vs Spell If a spell allows a saving throw to resist it, the TN is equal to the tier of the spell

11 Player s Handbook - Spells & Granted Powers - A to Z Air Missile 2ND TIER ARCANE SPELL Range: 100 ft ft./invoker level Affects: 1 creature (MR) Duration: Instantaneous The invoker summons a missile made from air which is fired at a single creature. The invoker must make a successful (DEX-DR) against the creature. If successful, air missile deals 2d+2 air based damage to a single creature chosen by the invoker. This damage increases to 3d+2 at 5th level, and 4d+2 at 7th level. The creature is allowed a (DEX-TN) save to reduce the damage from this spell by half. Analyse 1ST TIER DIVINE SPELL Range: Touch Affects: 1 magic item Duration: Instantaneous Analyse reveals to the invoker one of the abilities of a magic item that the invoker did not already know, including how to activate that ability. If the invoker already knows all the abilities of a magic item, then they learn that fact instead. Either way, the invoker also learns how many charges and/ or uses the magic item has. Angel s Redoubt 6TH TIER DIVINE SPELL (HOLY) Range: 100 ft ft./invoker level Affects: Special (see text) Duration: 2 hours/invoker level Angel s redoubt summons into existence a fortified tower made of stone standing on a flat surface. The tower, 20 ft. square by 30 ft. tall, has two floors and a flat roof with battlements. A set of narrow stairs inside connect all the floors and the roof. The structure has an iron door on the ground level and two shuttered windows on each wall on the upper level. The temperature and atmosphere in the tower is always comfortable, with the interior decor including reliefs and tapestries depicting angels and other holy beings. The tower contains elegant furnishings, including; a dozen bunks, a large table, eight chairs, two benches and a desk. The doors, windows and walls of the tower are imbued with the power of Celestia and cannot be destroyed or damaged by any spell of 5th tier or lower. For all other spells and magical attacks, the tower has MR 5. Non-magical attacks have no effect on the tower. Animate Dead 5TH TIER ARCANE SPELL Range: Invoker Affects: 1 or more corpses within 15 ft. radius Duration: Instantaneous This spell turns corpses into undead skeletons or zombies that obey your spoken commands. The undead can be made to follow you, or they can be made to remain in an area and attack any creature (or just a specific kind of creature) entering the place. They remain animated until they are destroyed. A destroyed skeleton or zombie can t be animated again. Regardless of the type of undead you create with this spell, you can t create more levels of undead than your invoker level with a single casting of animate dead. The undead you create remain under your control indefinitely. No matter how many times you use this spell, however, you can control only 4 levels worth of undead creatures per invoker level. If the invoker exceeds this number, all the newly created creatures fall under their control, and any excess undead from previous castings become uncontrolled. The invoker chooses which creatures are released. Undead the invoker controls through the command undead granted power do not count toward this limit. Skeletons: A skeleton can be created only from a mostly intact corpse or skeleton. The corpse must have bones. If a skeleton is made from a corpse, the flesh falls off the bones. Zombies: A zombie can be created only from a mostly intact corpse. The corpse must be that of a creature with a physical anatomy. 70

13 Player s Handbook Animate Weapon 1ST TIER ARCANE SPELL Range: 25 ft. + 5 ft./2 invoker levels Affects: A melee weapon you are proficient with Duration: Concentration (up to 2 rounds/invoker level) The invoker controls the movement of one melee weapon with which they are proficient and could normally use. The weapon flies through the air to any place within range that the invoker can see. It moves and attacks as the invoker would if they were wielding it. Arcane Charm 1ST TIER ARCANE SPELL Range: 25 ft. + 5 ft./2 invoker levels Affects: 1 creature (MR) Duration: 1 hour/invoker level Saving Throw: (CHA-11) Arcane charm makes a creature that is the same race as the invoker regard the invoker as a trusted friend and ally. If the creature is currently being threatened or attacked by the invoker or the invoker s allies, they receive a +5 bonus on their saving throw. The spell does not enable the invoker to control the charmed creature as if the creature were an automaton, but the subject perceives the invoker s words and actions in the most favourable way. The invoker can try to give the subject orders, but the invoker must make a (CHA-CL) to convince the subject to do anything he or she wouldn t ordinarily do. A charmed creature never obeys suicidal or obviously harmful orders. Any act by the invoker or the invoker s apparent allies that threatens the charmed creature breaks the spell. Note also that the invoker must speak the creature s language to communicate their commands. Arrow Reflection 3RD TIER ARCANE SPELL Range: Personal Affects: Invoker Duration: Up to 1 round/invoker level This spell has no effect on missiles created by spells, or breath weapons from creatures able to use such attacks. Arrow reflection ends when the number of attacks deflected equals twice the invoker s class level, or the duration runs it s course. Battle Healing (Lesser) 2ND TIER DIVINE SPELL (HOLY) Range: Touch Affects: 1 living or undead creature (MR) Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: (CHA-12) (½) (see text) Lesser battle healing heals 2d+2 damage to a single creature. This increases to 3d+2 at 5th level. If cast on an undead creature this spell inflicts damage rather than curing it. The undead creature can attempt a saving throw to take half damage. Battle Healing (Greater) 5TH TIER DIVINE SPELL (LIGHT) Range: Touch Affects: 1 living of undead creature (MR) Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: (CHA-15) (½) (see text) Greater battle healing heals 5d+5 damage to a single creature. This increases to 6d+5 at 5th level. If cast on an undead creature this spell inflicts damage rather than curing it. The undead creature can attempt a saving throw to take half damage. Blast of Cold 1ST TIER ARCANE SPELL Range: 25 ft. + 5 ft./2 invoker levels Affects: 1 creature (MR) Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: (DEX-11) (½) The invoker fires a blast of super-chilled air at a single creature, which deals 1d+1 cold based damage. This damage increases to 2d+1 at 3rd level, and 3d+1 at 5th level. The creature is allowed a save to reduce the damage from this spell by half. Arrow reflection deflects all physical ranged attacks made against the invoker back at the source of the attack. The result of the action check made when rolling for the attack is used to determine if the deflected attack successfully hits the target it is directed back at. 72

14 Chapter 6: Magic Bless Water 1ST TIER DIVINE SPELL (HOLY) Range: Touch Affects: Flask of water touched Duration: Instantaneous This spell turns a flask (1 pint) of water into holy water. Holy water is considered blessed, which means it has special effects on unholy creatures. When splashed on undead or certain types of outsiders a flask of holy water deals 2d points of damage to them.
