The shape is typically determined by the plane of origin: + +- **Fire** - Fragments from the elemental plane of fire are usually globes of elemental fire (used in Dwarven fire engines and some Drahki weapons). +- **Water** - Fragments from the elemental plane of water are usually globes of water. +- **Earth** - Fragments from the elemental plane of earth are usually irregularly-shaped chunks of rock and dirt. + - Large fragments of earth are called **islands**, and often used to support a stronghold or outpost in the astral void. +- **Air** - Fragments from the elemental plane of air are usually globes of air (used to supply some ships traveling to airless planes) +- **Chaos** - Fragments from the elemental plane of chaos are usually jet black globes, and tend to function as spheres of annihilation. +- **Law** - Fragments from the elemental plane of law are usually globes of crackling, radiant energy. + - It's believed that these arise spontaneously when a fragment from the plane of chaos appears, and are equal in size to the chaos ones. + - When a fragment of law and chaos are combined, the resulting release of energy can be seen for thousands of miles around. + +### Gravity + +**Subjective gravity**: Capable creatures (INT 5 or greater) can change "down" with a thought (CHA check if under duress). + +**Falling / Flying**: Speed is INT x 30' / round (INT x 10' / encounter), specific maneuvers require a CHA check. + +**Free floating**: Objects float in space unless able to move on their own (as above) or acted upon by an external force. + +**Unintelligent creatures**: Fall "down" at 100' / round. + +### Losing Direction + +**With a navigator aboard**: The chance of getting lost is 1-in-6. + +**Without a navigator aboard**: The chance of getting lost is 100% in the open astral void and 2-in-6 within sight of an astral body. + +**Effects**: See [Losing Direction](https://oldschoolessentials.necroticgnome.com/srd/index.php/Hazards_and_Challenges). + +### Outposts + +A stronghold, shop, or town in the astral plane, usually established on a large island. + +**Docks**: Those interested in trade will have one (or more) docks for passing ships. + +**Ports**: Outposts with permanent portals to other planes. + +### Psychic Clouds + +Thin streams of psychic "vapor", hundreds to thousands of miles across, which appear as clouds when viewed from distance. + +**Psychic Storms** - Enormous storms of psychic energy which can disable a ship as well as its crew. Often found crawling with astral zombies. Best to avoid. + +### Portals + +**Use**: Step through to arrive on the destination plane. + +**Destination**: Can lead to any other plane (Inner, Outer, or Material). + +**Color**: Each different destination has its own color, and a portal leading to a character's home plane will always look silver to them. + +**Directionality**: Most portals (99%) are one-way, and only visible (when open) from the entry side, but become two-way for 1d4 rounds after a character steps through. + +**Duration**: Most portals (99%) are temporary, lasting 1d20 hours. + +**Interactivity**: Can be opened, closed, or made translucent (allowing characters to see the other end for one turn) with a successful CHA check within 60' of the portal. + +**Pools**: Temporary portals which lead from the astral to other planes. + +**Ports**: Permanent portals to other planes, often established on a island and attached to an outpost. + +### Surprise + +Wandering astral creatures are not usually surprised by traveling vessels.

Identification is usually limited to tactical range (approxmiately 1 mile) in the open astral plane, or as little as 100 yards in a psychic storm. + +- maybe differentiate between tactical and travel speed? + - travel speed = within 12 hours, can see the contrails (of other ships moving at travel speed) +- sighting ships by travel time +- what is the range of slowdown? + +### Wandering Monsters + +**Frequency**: A check is typically rolled once every other day, but the referee may choose to make more checks (e.g. when near a port or outpost): up to 1 or 2 a day. + +**Chance**: The chance of encountering a wandering creature is 1-in-6 in the deep astral, 2-in-6 near other ports or outposts. + +**Distance**: Wandering creatures are encountered 4d6 × 10 yards away. If either side is surprised (see Encounters), this is reduced to 1d4 × 10 yards. + +**Location**: Astral encounters may occur either in the open astral plane or on land (such as a fragment, island, or dock), if the party lands or docks at some point during the day. diff --git a/ose_backup/astral/factions.md b/ose_backup/astral/factions.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..71c0774 --- /dev/null +++ b/ose_backup/astral/factions.md @@ -0,0 +1,113 @@ +--- +title: Astral Factions +description: TBD +date_pub: 2023-02-15T00:26:00-05:00 +section: astral +content_type: feature +short_code: af1 +--- + +### Major Factions + +#### Astral Trade Union + +- Conglomerate of harbormasters, ship captains, and mining companies who control nearly all of the trade between certain ports. +- Control all of the trading between nearly 100 ports, including ones leading to dozens of material planes, multiple to each elemental plane, and even a handful to various transcendental planes. + -

Automatons are magically-powered, fully sentient beings composed of metal and wood. Although some are believed to have been built for a long forgotton war, most were built as arcane experiments by powerful wizards, or to serve as slaves in decadent, high-magic socities.

+ +Bloodmages are arcane spellcasters that use their own life force, rather than their memories, to cast spells. + +[[toc]] + +### Arcane Magic + +See [Spells](https://oldschoolessentials.necroticgnome.com/srd/index.php/Spells) for full details on arcane magic. + +**Magical research**: A bloodmage of any level may spend time and money on magical research. This allows them to add new spells to their spell book and to research other magical effects. When a bloodmage reaches 9th level, they are also able to create magic items. + +**Spell books**: Bloodmages carry spell books containing the formulae for arcane spells. The number of spells in a bloodmage’s spell book is equal to the character’s experience level, and the spell casting chart (below) shows the maximum spell level a bloodmage can have in their spellbook Thus, a 1st level bloodmage has one spell in their spell book, selected by the referee (who may allow the player to choose). The list of spells available to bloodmages is found in [Magic-User Spells](https://oldschoolessentials.necroticgnome.com/srd/index.php/Magic-User_Spells). + +**Spell casting**: Bloodmages cast spells by shedding blood, rather than by memorizing. To cast a spell, a bloodmage must sacrifice one of their own HP per level of the spell being cast. + +**Using magic items**: As spell casters, bloodmages are able to use magic scrolls of spells on their spell list. They can also use items that may only be used by arcane spell casters (e.g. magic wands). + +### Combat + +Bloodmages are capable warriors as well as spellcasters, but they need freedom of movement for spellcasting. For this reason, they can use any melee weapon that can be wielded one handed, and can use all missile weapons, but can only wear leather armour, and are unable use shields. + +### Healing + +Bloodmages can make animal sacrifices to heal. The victims should be intelligent or magical creatures (although mundane animals can be used at the referee's discretion). To heal, the bloodmage must slay the intended sacrifice with a dagger or other bladed weapon. A sacrifice will restore a number of HP equal to the victim's HD. Creatures that are particularly innocent, powerful, or dear to the caster will produce increasingly better results (details to be left to the referee). + +Alternatively, the referee may roll 1d6 for each fallen enemy, with a roll of 1 indicating that they are still alive and thus eligible to be sacrificed by the bloodmage. + +### After Reaching 11th Level + +A bloodmage may establish a stronghold, often in a cave or similar structure. 1d6 apprentices of levels 1–3 will then arrive to study under the bloodmage. + +### Bloodmage Level Progression + +

Tortokin are a race of relatively tall (5.5') reptilian-looking humanoids with leathery, earth-toned skin and large, dark, tortoise-like shells on their backs capable of holding their entire bodies. They rarely wear any clothing, preferring instead to use belts and harnesses to carry their belongings. As most tortokin feel as though they have their houses on their backs, they rarely feel homesick and tend to avoid laying roots in any single place, preferring instead to travel and wander. Although they typically aren't good swimmers, their natural buoyancy and ability to hold their breath for extended periods of time helps them traverse swamps and bodies of water with ease. diff --git a/ose_backup/classes/warlock.md b/ose_backup/classes/warlock.md new file mode 100755 index 0000000..f983f29 --- /dev/null +++ b/ose_backup/classes/warlock.md @@ -0,0 +1,145 @@ +--- +title: Warlock +description: The Warlock class for Old School Essentials. +date_pub: 2023-02-17T00:26:00-05:00 +section: classes +content_type: feature +short_code: cw1 +--- + +

+ +Warlocks are spellcasters that gain access to magic by making pacts with powerful, otherworldly beings. Some make deals with demons or devils; others, with capricious archfey; and still others, with the ineffable Great Old Ones (or other similar cosmic horrors). It's a dangerous shortcut to power, with a price that very few are willing to pay. + +**Alignment**: While warlocks with different patrons may have different alignments, they are never lawful. + +[[toc]] + +### Combat + +Warlocks can use all one-handed missile and melee weapons, and can use leather armour and chainmail. Because of their need for freedom of movement, they cannot use plate mail or shields. + +### Eldritch Blast + +Warlocks can use the power granted by their patron to fire a beam of magical energy. The target must make a **saving throw versus spells** or take 1d6 damage. + +**Uses per Day**: A warlock may use their eldritch blast a number of times per day equal to 1/2 their level (rounded up). + +#### Activating Eldritch Blast + +A warlock must spend a round concentrating in order to activate their eldritch blast. While concentrating, the warlock may not move, attack, or perform any other actions. + +**In combat**: Like spell casting, activating eldritch blast can be disrupted in combat. The player must declare the use of their eldritch blast before initiative is rolled, and the attack is resolved during their side's "Spell Casting" phase of combat. + +### Patron Magic + +See [Spells](https://oldschoolessentials.necroticgnome.com/srd/index.php/Spells) for full details on magic. Patron magic is similar to both arcane magic and divine magic. + +**Memorizing spells**: Beginning at 2nd level, a warlock may memorize spells through the use of ritual invocations to their patrons. When memorizing spells, warlocks may choose any spells in their class’ spell list that they are of high enough level to cast. + +**Reversing spells**: Some warlock spells may be reversed. A warlock can cast the reversed version of a spell by speaking the words and performing the gestures backwards when it is cast. + +**Patron disfavour**: A warlock must be faithful to their patron. If the character ever falls from favour with their patron, penalties (determined by the referee) may be imposed. These may include penalties to eldritch blast (–1 or more), a reduction in spells, or being sent on a perilous quest. In order to regain favour, the warlock must perform some great deed for their patron (as determined by the referee), for example: collecting an artifact, constructing an altar, vanquishing a powerful enemy of the patron, etc. + +**Magical research**: A warlock of 2nd level or higher may spend time and money on magical research. This allows them to create new spells or other magical effects associated with their patron. On reaching 9th level, warlocks are also able to create magic items. + +**Using magic items**: As spell casters, warlocks are able to use magic scrolls of spells on their spell list. They can also use items that may only be used by arcane spell casters (e.g. magic wands). + +#### Spell Casting + +Beginning at 2nd level, a warlock may make a ritual invocation to receieve spells from their patron. The power and number of spells available to a warlock are determined by the character’s experience level. The list of spells available to warlocks is below. More information about each spell can be found in the [Magic User](https://oldschoolessentials.necroticgnome.com/srd/index.php/Magic-User_Spells) or [Cleric](https://oldschoolessentials.necroticgnome.com/srd/index.php/Cleric_Spells) spell list, as indicated (see [Magic](https://oldschoolessentials.necroticgnome.com/srd/index.php/Rules_of_Magic) in Old-School Essentials). + +**Level 1** + +- [Cause Fear (C/1)]() +- [Charm Person (MU/1)](https://oldschoolessentials.necroticgnome.com/srd/index.php/Charm_Person) +- [Darkness (MU/1)]() +- [Detect Magic (MU/1)]() +- [Read Languages (MU/1)](https://oldschoolessentials.necroticgnome.com/srd/index.php/Read_Languages) +- [Read Magic (MU/1)](https://oldschoolessentials.necroticgnome.com/srd/index.php/Read_Magic) + +**Level 2** + +- [ESP (MU/2)](https://oldschoolessentials.necroticgnome.com/srd/index.php/ESP) +- [Invisibility (MU/2)](https://oldschoolessentials.necroticgnome.com/srd/index.php/Invisibility) +- [Levitate (MU/2)](https://oldschoolessentials.necroticgnome.com/srd/index.php/Levitate) +- [Mirror Image (MU/2)](https://oldschoolessentials.necroticgnome.com/srd/index.php/Mirror_Image) +- [Phantasmal Force (MU/2)](https://oldschoolessentials.necroticgnome.com/srd/index.php/Phantasmal_Force) +- [Resist Fire (C/2)](https://oldschoolessentials.necroticgnome.com/srd/index.php/Resist_Fire) + +**Level 3** + +- [Clairvoyance (MU/3)](https://oldschoolessentials.necroticgnome.com/srd/index.php/Clairvoyance) +- [Fly (MU/3)](https://oldschoolessentials.necroticgnome.com/srd/index.php/Fly) +- [Haste (MU/3)](https://oldschoolessentials.necroticgnome.com/srd/index.php/Haste) +- [Infravision (MU/3)](https://oldschoolessentials.necroticgnome.com/srd/index.php/Infravision) +- [Lightning Bolt (MU/3)](https://oldschoolessentials.necroticgnome.com/srd/index.php/Lightning_Bolt) +- [Water Breathing (MU/3)](https://oldschoolessentials.necroticgnome.com/srd/index.php/Water_Breathing) + +**Level 4** + +- [Charm Monster (MU/4)](https://oldschoolessentials.necroticgnome.com/srd/index.php/Charm_Monster) +- [Confusion (MU/4)](https://oldschoolessentials.necroticgnome.com/srd/index.php/Confusion) +- [Curse (MU/4)]() +- [Dimension Door (MU/4)](https://oldschoolessentials.necroticgnome.com/srd/index.php/Dimension_Door) +- [Polymorph Self (MU/4)](https://oldschoolessentials.necroticgnome.com/srd/index.php/Polymorph_Self) +- [Wizard Eye (MU/4)](https://oldschoolessentials.necroticgnome.com/srd/index.php/Wizard_Eye) + +**Level 5** + +- [Contact Higher Plane (MU/5)](https://oldschoolessentials.necroticgnome.com/srd/index.php/Contact_Higher_Plane) +- [Feeblemind (MU/5)](https://oldschoolessentials.necroticgnome.com/srd/index.php/Feeblemind) +- [Magic Jar (MU/5)](https://oldschoolessentials.necroticgnome.com/srd/index.php/Magic_Jar) +- [Raise Dead (Finger of Death) (C/5)]() +- [Telekinesis (MU/5)](https://oldschoolessentials.necroticgnome.com/srd/index.php/Telekinesis) +- [Teleport (MU/5)](https://oldschoolessentials.necroticgnome.com/srd/index.php/Teleport) + +### After Reaching 11th Level + +A warlock may build a stronghold, often a great tower. 1d6 apprentices of levels 1–3 (who are also bound to the warlock's patron) will then arrive to study under the warlock. + +### Warlock Level Progression + +

+ +Tortokin are a race of relatively tall (5.5') reptilian-looking humanoids with leathery, earth-toned skin and large, dark, tortoise-like shells on their backs capable of containing their entire bodies.

As most tortokin feel as though they have their houses on their backs, they rarely feel homesick and tend to avoid laying roots in any single place, preferring instead to travel and wander.

If the roll fails, the corsair falls at the halfway point, suffering falling damage. -- **Move silently (MS)**: A corsair may attempt to sneak past enemies unnoticed. -- **Seafaring (SF)**: A corsair can keep their feet during rough waters, survive on the open sea, and make repairs when their vessel takes on damage. -- **Tightrope walking (TW)**: Corsairs can walk along tightropes, narrow beams, and ledges at up to half their normal movement rate. A roll is required every 60’. Failure indicates that the corsair falls and suffers falling damage. Windy conditions may reduce the chance of success by up to 20%. +- For most, roll 1d100, result under score is success.

While concentrating, the warlock may not move, attack, or perform any other actions. - -**In combat**: Like spell casting, activating eldritch blast can be disrupted in combat. The player must declare the use of their eldritch blast before initiative is rolled, and the attack is resolved during their side's "Spell Casting" phase of combat. - -### Patron Magic - -See [Spells](https://oldschoolessentials.necroticgnome.com/srd/index.php/Spells) for full details on magic. Patron magic is similar to both arcane magic and divine magic. - -**Memorizing spells**: Beginning at 2nd level, a warlock may memorize spells through the use of ritual invocations to their patrons. When memorizing spells, warlocks may choose any spells in their class’ spell list that they are of high enough level to cast. - -**Reversing spells**: Some warlock spells may be reversed. A warlock can cast the reversed version of a spell by speaking the words and performing the gestures backwards when it is cast. - -**Patron disfavour**: A warlock must be faithful to their patron. If the character ever falls from favour with their patron, penalties (determined by the referee) may be imposed. These may include penalties to eldritch blast (–1 or more), a reduction in spells, or being sent on a perilous quest. In order to regain favour, the warlock must perform some great deed for their patron (as determined by the referee), for example: collecting an artifact, constructing an altar, vanquishing a powerful enemy of the patron, etc. - -**Magical research**: A warlock of 2nd level or higher may spend time and money on magical research. This allows them to create new spells or other magical effects associated with their patron. On reaching 9th level, warlocks are also able to create magic items. - -**Using magic items**: As spell casters, warlocks are able to use magic scrolls of spells on their spell list. They can also use items that may only be used by arcane spell casters (e.g. magic wands). - -#### Spell Casting - -Beginning at 2nd level, a warlock may make a ritual invocation to receieve spells from their patron. The power and number of spells available to a warlock are determined by the character’s experience level. The list of spells available to warlocks is below. More information about each spell can be found in the [Magic User](https://oldschoolessentials.necroticgnome.com/srd/index.php/Magic-User_Spells) or [Cleric](https://oldschoolessentials.necroticgnome.com/srd/index.php/Cleric_Spells) spell list, as indicated (see [Magic](https://oldschoolessentials.necroticgnome.com/srd/index.php/Rules_of_Magic) in Old-School Essentials). +#### Available Spells **Level 1** @@ -106,40 +84,36 @@ Beginning at 2nd level, a warlock may make a ritual invocation to receieve spell - [Telekinesis (MU/5)](https://oldschoolessentials.necroticgnome.com/srd/index.php/Telekinesis) - [Teleport (MU/5)](https://oldschoolessentials.necroticgnome.com/srd/index.php/Teleport) -### After Reaching 11th Level +### Stronghold -A warlock may build a stronghold, often a great tower. 1d6 apprentices of levels 1–3 (who are also bound to the warlock's patron) will then arrive to study under the warlock. +- After 11th level, may construct a stronghold (usually a tower). +- 1d6 apprentices of levels 1–3 (who are also bound to the warlock's patron) will then arrive to study under them. -### Warlock Level Progression +### Advancement
