The Basics

"A mighty gem of azure hue, shall cause the dead to pay their due.
So place silver 'pon their eyes, lest the dead, again shall rise."

The Basics

Post by Ismaels-Legacy »

Everydark is a freeform RP based in a Medieval Fantasy setting where the undead have horded the world. Due to a cursed magical gemstone, a massive Gaes has been placed upon the continent, causing ALL sentient beings to rise from the dead 24 hours after they are deceased. As a result strongholds have become safe havens for survivors; most of whom are human and dwarven.

In terms of gameplay, there will be no actual 'classes', but simply archetypes: Warrior, Rogue, Mage, and Devout. Actions are based upon the character's archetype and attributes. Actions are based heavily on RPing your archetype. Thus a warrior would need to be tactical in their combat roles (Or attack with reckless abandon based on the character), or the Devout would need to do daily rites, etc.

Character will have the standard stats of D&D with one exception: instead of Charisma, the character's 6th attribute will be Perception which is a combination of visual acuity and overall awareness of their surroundings. Attributes are simply used as guidelines for RP purposes and a means for me (The GM) to determine the outcome of actions.

Races are severely limited based on the setting, and will be further explained in gameplay. For the initial group of players, the races allowed will be as followed: 1 Elf (Maximum), 1 Half-Elf (Maximum), Dwarves, and Humans. Orcs and Drow do not exist in this realm and the 'lesser fey' are so rare that they are virtually non-existent.


For those who are interested, please post in the Character concept topic with a character idea, Attributes and Archetype.
