Pre Vert Nes- World of Altor

[Vertinari118]

Arcane means you are using energy leftover from creation and that seeps from other planes. It can be used quickly with just a thought if you are skilled and is powerful but divine magic will always trump it if cast properly. Divine magic calls on the power of a God literally. You draw on the God's strength and energy and use it to create a spell. Thus, like summoning, it takes time and effort to use correctly and is more expensive. But the effects are spectaular when it is used at a high level.

Right, so i've got my kit, people are recovering.. did we kill any orks? Has the new captain anything to say to me?

What should we go next? Group up and set out adventuring?

 

[Vertinari118]

Yes you killed lots of orcs. Between you guys and the militia they are all dead but no dragon. Yes but I will say it when I get back from going to London today, it was aranged yesterday evening, so I got short notice too. Yes you should group up and pick a destination, if you pick a kingdom with no cities then just say the capital or somthing like that. Don't bother with the great forest for now unless your an elf because if you get lost I will not be to blame for the dagger in your back.

Vertinari, since you didn't seem to like my last race idea, I'll make my character differently.

Name- Hakara
Race- Human
Class- Magus
Backstory- Hakara was an ambitious man. His ultimate goal was the twin gains of power and immortality, and he believed that Necromancy was the way to do it. Technically he joined the Magi order, but he deserted when he believed he knew enough.
Character Type (for stats)- Intelligent, ugly, and understanding of human nature.

This may be a bit metagaming, but I want to start near Enzor's army in a posistion where I would have heard of his defeat.

 

[Angst]

I will use Divine magic then, but I do not know the gods whom I call power from. Is that possible?

 

[Vertinari118]

I didn't say anything against it or for it actually. I was waiting to see what you came up with but your new character is fine. He will start in Larthorn. I will roll stats now same for you Lord Joakim. Yes but I would prefer you made up a God. There are millions of minor ones and ten major ones so you have got plenty to chose from. The ten major gods cover: Creation ( Untor or the Dreamer or the One), Fire (Danzarri or Lord of Fires), Water (Danaqua or Lady of the Water), Earth (Danagaia or Lady of the Earth), Air (Danariel or Lord of the Air), Good (Untorfalas or Servent of the One), Evil (Moriuntorafala or Servent of the One's Shadow), Chaos, Law and Destruction (Moriuntora or the One's Shadow)

 

[Angst]

Then I'll pull out Raqaras, half-god who were banished to be living in water, and he is therefore eternally drowning, which is quite painful, I ensure you. That is also the reason why he gives the Kortair the ability to use such vicious curses.

 

[Angst]

Oh, and I will please have my starting equipment to be:

Walking staff
Zeibisha Cape (Either a somewhat expensive one or one that hinders people finding me using magic, ie crystal balls, visions..)
Regular clothes
Ritualist starter kit (Unserious name with serious parts, eg runes, knife, blood from different furry animals..)
no gold
Food

 

[Vertinari118]

I will let you have the reagents and I will let you have a cloak that deflects low level scrying as you have no armour or gold.

 

[Neverwonagame3]

Is my guy rolled yet? I can start with him, right?

 

[Vertinari118]

I know I have still got to roll. I forgot last night but I willl now. Yes you can do what you did before when you signed up. You get the same offer as thomas did.

[Vertinari118]

Cool sorry I looked for it ealier and couldn't find it thats all. Will start updating player stats now.

 

[Vertinari118]

Lord Joakim could you please post something like this for your race so I can do your stats.

Race: Blog

Blogs are a strong but dimwitted race etc.

or Strenth= Good
Wisdom= Bad

In other words tell me their strengths and weaknesses.

 

[Neverwonagame3]

Since my character is a Magus, he can do Divine magic. Should I make up a God for him?

EDIT: Also, if I am going to do Customisation as suggested in the rules, what particular area should I look at?

 

[Vertinari118]

Well you want to be necromancer correct? So you could make up undead beings to make/summon as well as rituals. Magi deal solely in arcane magic and if the rules say otherwise I will have to correct them. Please quote the statement in the rules that states or hints that Magi can perform divine magic so I can find it faster. Thanks.

these guys can master any magic at all though.

In the section on the Magi class. I intended to take as much advantage of that clause as I could.
