The worlds are changing. The Comos is shifting and the Darkness is gaining strength. Soon the cycle will continue and Untor will have to hand his rule over to Moriuntora or face war. But our wanderers know nothing of this and they have their own concerns.
The town of Larthorn is small but recently it has attracted quite a lot of attention. At the moment the town has come to no harm but today a band of sixty orcs were seen not ten miles from the town. At their head was a man who stuck fear into the scouts. The great Magi and warlord Enzor was seen, clearly he had violence on his mind. Will the gnome Magi of no name be able to stop Enzor if he were to attack? And what of the motley group of warriors, spellslingers and thieves will they be able to drive back the orcs with the milita? Or did the mysterious wanderers bring the orcs here and even now are preparing to bathe their weapons in the blood of the villagers? These are the Worlds of Altor.
Rules
Customisation
Something which I want to be at the for-front of this Nes but I have never written any rules for is the idea that it is the players story and they should have freedom to spread their creative wings in that story. As such players may design weapons, armour, spells, races, classes/professions, guilds, settlements, laws etc. Please note I will not give you total freedom but a lot of it. If you remain reasonable and logical and in character you will most likely not feel consticted. Please also note I reverse the right to kick out players who repeatedly try to be stupid or abuse my good faith. So here are my guidelines.
1. If you are stuck or need guidence or need help translating an idea to the Nes just ask. I am here to help not to hinder.
2. Please PM me your creation(s) or post in on the OOC, sign-up, Pre Nes thing, which is linked to at the top of this post. This will avoid clutter on this thread the game thread.
3. Don't feel limited by what seems realistic and don't worry about other Nessers opinions. If they think you have made something unrealistic in a world full of magic or they think your creation is unbalenced and they are attacking you don't give up. They should critise me anyway and I will try to point out my arguements for letting it into the game. This game will have a lot of additons over its course so if you don't like new things appearing half way through don't join.
4. Please keep your creations balenced and within reason. I may seem to repeat that a lot but I don't want to have to balence everything that is sent to me.
5. Players who have aready signed up. If you want you may create a new race or class for your character within the next 24 hours otherwise you are stuck. Unless you kill your character and make a new one.
Combat
Comabt will be modded by me using a ramdom number generator, your stats and equipment and my common sense. Combat itself is simple you write a description of your character attacking an enemy and then I will mod and write the outcome. This continues until combat ends. Armour is there to soak up damage instead of your character so don't complain if it is damaged or destoryed in combat. In combat it is wise to read replies from your mod (me) carefully as they will give you clues to how your character is doing. I will record things such as hitpoints but you will not see them (in theory).
Weapons
Swords
Blunt Weapons
Polearms
Ranged weapons
Bows
Armour
All prices will vary depending on various things.
Magic in combat
Magic is a powerful force (note you can invent new branchs if you want) and mgic users are powerful foes though they are defeatable. Magic is limited by the branchs you know, the strength of your Fiezar and your imagination. Magic can kill you if you use it too much, you will get warning, or if you do something that is beyond you, no warning. I would strongly sugest that you start off small and get bigger, if you are a Magi (2 slots left) you will be able to start off a bit grander but be careful. Your magical strength is based off your charisma and the charces of a spell back-firing are based off your intelligence, wisdom, charisma and magical strength.
That's about all I think you need to know for combat. If you think I have missed something or you need clarification just say on the OOC thread. There I will talk about it and try to fit it in if I think it is appropreate.
Civilian equipment and starting out
To start off with you make choose two weapons, two armour (one shield, one a suit), three civilian items and I will give give you enough supplies to last for twenty days. Each. I think this is generous enough to make your early days easy but not too easy. You may sacrifice any of the above slots for gold, you may not sacrifice your food. You will also start out with twenty dari and a set of civilian clothing. I will give you weapon prices on request until you become a bit more well off. When I post civilian supplies the price will vary depending on the ecomonic situation and the size of the place. Please when you describe your equipment be inventive and the clothes can take any form you wish within reason. Eg they cannot be covered in jewels and worth 10,000 Untors ( a currency made from diamonds as you can imagine few countries use it and it is the highest demonination of currency in any country that does use it) and have a beautiful fur trim of some of the rarest animals on Altor. So yeah please keep it realistic.
Listing
Adventuring equipment
A note on currency. A daras (GP)= 100 sari (SP), a untora (PP)= 50 dari, a emrala (EP)= 25 untora and 10 emrala= untor (DP)
Mission rules
Missions have two forms: quests and random encouters. Quests are simple enough at points in the game you will have opitions to take or leave quests. Quests also appear if you ask around for a job. They may come from kings, merchants, nobles, poor families etc. They may require you to put your morals to one side. The list goes on but they all have one thing in common depending on what you do and how you act the world will change around you.
Random encounters are different. These occur randomly and rarely lead to quests. They will normal start off with you being attacked, noticing something odd etc. then you will have to survive whatever happens and then you will get a reward. Example: The knight was riding through the forest when he heard a damsel in distress scream. He quickly rushed to the damsel and saw a large dragon about to eat her. The knight killed the dragon and was rewarded with a kiss. I know my example is a condensed fariy tale but you get the point. Also I hereby swear that I will never give you such an aweful random encounter. I promise you will get much better ones. These may or may not change the world around you.
Reward systerm
As I have said on the Pre Nes this is not a conventinal RP game were you have experence points to spend. Your character becomes better by doing an action as your character does thinks I will make notes on how well he does and then take that into consideration in the future. As I have also said your characters can be rewarded with land and titles. When, if, this happens you can become a ruler of a small nation and your character will become king/queen. Your character can continue to advanture if you wish but it is probably best if he stays put, at least in the early years, to help your fledgeling nation get to its feet. Your character is then also your first hero and his desendents can be heros. Via your exploits as a nation you may attract heros or you may hire them but more on that when nations are formed. Please note you do not have to form a nation.

. I would like to point out that your characters do know of the impending orc threat and you have until update zero to make preparations for the attack.
