Slayer special rules
Monk lore and special rules

 

[Jorkint]

I got some doubts, Master:
1) Does the cost in Recipes level for Alchemists stacks up? Lets say, to get it to lvl 2, should I invest 9 XP, or just 6? In the same vein, are there specific costs for Rings and Rune levels, or does the general ones applies?
2) Once I have my sheet, should I pm it to you? Or publish it here?

The cost is not cumulative - if your Recipes rank is 2, you can buy any rank 2 Recipe for 6XP.
Your Recipes rank is determined by the lowest of Academics and Lore, so raising both of those is important.
Your Runes rank, if you want Runes, is based on the lowest of Artisan and Academics
Your Rings increase by 1 with every point of Fitness you have.

I forgot the leveling guidelines are missing from that doc so I'll add those somewhere today. I don't like XP traps, so Slayer special abilities are increased by raising key Skill and Attributes instead of dumping points in them at the expense of other development.

2) Once I have my sheet, should I pm it to you? Or publish it here?

Publish it here or send it to me, up to you.
You can even post one version here, and send me the version with all your dark secrets.

  Biography
  Jormund was born in the middle of the winter of Hrumart, and still carries the sea in his eyes and the smoke of the hearthfire in his hair. His mother, a worker in the brothel, died at childbirth. His father, a wandering skald, was fond enough of the infant to take it with him. Not enough, though, to reject the deal of the alchemist guild, when they offered to buy the kid around the time of his seventh winter.
  Since then, the horizon that have guided his footsteps is the acquisition of knowledge, both to earn the approbation of his new family and to sate his own unrelenting hunger.

  Daredevil - Rank 1
  Vagrants seem supernaturally fortunate, and impressively reckless. When making a dangerous roll, especially an attack roll, the Vagrant can reduce their Willpower by 1 for 8 hours and add Daredevil Ranks as bonus dice.
  Lucky - Daredevil 11s roll up like 12s.
  
  The Token - Rank 1
  Noblesse
  A "badge of office" for "Fae knighthood". At least, that's what the Fair Folk told him.

This is a barebones WIP. I haven't finished everything because I'd actually like to talk some things over with Grey, but I'm posting what I have to make my interest known if this does pick back up.​
