Stats/Skills/Abilities[]
Necromundus uses a modified FUDGE tabletop RPG ruleset to handle our stats and skills. Offensive Damage Factors and Defensive Damage Factors are amplified to allow for a broader range of challenges, so that a Level 50 monster is far more formidable than a Level 1 monster.
How It Works[]
When you go through chargen and pick your race and speciality, you receive a starting sheet of skills, attributes and any applicable gifts/quirks/faults for your choices. You also get 100 skill points to spend with the NPC trainers in the city center training halls. These points can be spent to improve your combat or crafting/trade skills.
You cannot alter your attributes, such as Intelligence, Strength and Constitution. Where those are concerned, you get what the higher powers gave you. You can improve your skills with skill points. Besides the 100 points you start with, players earn 10 skill points each time they level. Skills can only be improved at the NPC trainers in the city of Necromundus.
It is also possible to craft tutors that can be redeemed for skill points in the training hall.
Beginner Tutor: Costs 2500 crafting minutes. Redeems for 10 skill points.
Intermediate Tutor: Costs 5000 crafting minutes. Redeems for 20 skill points.
Advanced Tutor: Costs 10000 crafting minutes. Redeems for 40 skill points.
As your proficiency in certain skill trees grows, you'll unlock access to special abilities that can be used in combat. Some abilities are automatically granted based on a character's race.
Those abilities automatically granted based on race may always be utilized by doing +ability (target)/(ability name)
For example, to perform wingslap, if you have that ability as a member of a winged race, do: +ability (target)/wingslap while in combat. A list of racial and class abilities is below, but remember that in order to perform a class ability, you must have learned the requisite skill to the appropriate level. For instance, Superb Fire Magic for Magic Users who wish to perform Pyroclysm, Great Earth Magic for Magic Users who wish to perform Ground Pound, and so on.
