Stats

  • Kam actually knows how to roll stats now
  • Rolling for stats: 4d6s, put lowest number aside, add three together for one stat and repeat for other stats
  • Point by system: all stats start off with 8, then split 27 points between stats, costs extra points at 14 and 15
  • Rolling a d20: hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

And the stat calculations begin…

Worldbuilding

General

  • HOW BIG IS THE TOWER???
  • The World of Materia – 3 different kingdoms
  • Kingdom of Leto (humans and elves, diversity), City of Light, big trading city Principium (where the tower is) (busy boy)
  • Ignis Kingdom – dwarves, warforged, volcano, Western
  • Kingdom of Umbrus – Eastern, desert land, sparse animal folk, drow, human population, SHADY KINGDOM, ENTRANCE TO THE UNDERDARK MAYBE: drow, driders, spider things, Olivia’s biggest fear
  • The Great Forest (South) – fey, animals and stuff
  • Swamp is on the border of The Great Forest and the ocean
  • South of Great Forest = ocean (with sea monsters and merfolk)
  • Merfolk split between two cultures – city (higher class) and bandit-y raiding ships type merfolk (anti-magic attitude)

History

  • 20 years ago: war between Ignis and Umbrus
  • Building of tensions
  • Went on for 6 years or so ish
  • Kingdom of Leto intervened with introduction of most recent generation of Warforged (soldier of light SOL)
  • SOL (one guy) (might be hot (for a warforged)) (mostly humanoid) (golden wings) (might be single) descended upon battlefield and simply ceased the fighting, forcing negotiations to occur

Social

Warforged

  • Some respect growing for them due to their part in the war
  • Becoming more and more accepted
  • Kingdom of Leto: warforged are both revered but it’s based on stereotypes
  • Umbrus kingdom doesn’t like warforged
  • There are warforged slurs ☹

Shifters

  • group of individuals that exist within tribes that travel around the world
  • They have an altar in the desert of Umbrus and in the Great Forest
  • History with Ignis (50 years ago there was enslavement of the beastfolk)
  • Following the revolution, a leader stood out (lionbeast – Ura)
  • Ura came to power in Leto and led all the tribes united and freed all shifters in Ignis Kingdom
  • Ker’an – can shift into a roc (hot) (wanted) (scoundrel)

Pinnacle Tower

  • Existed for ages
  • Cylindrical
  • Nobody’s ever reached the top
  • Most difficult dungeon in the world
  • Nobody has ever come out
  • Somewhere at the top there is a very strong power (wish-granting object)
  • NATURAL LIGHT?????? ROOM TO FROLIC?????
  • “The tower will supply us with endless enjoyment.” – Ethan
  • “And there will be frolicking.” - Kam

Incarnates

  • Concepts given life and form, power associated can be quite strong
  • Incarnate power cannot be counter-spelled (their power is not magic)
  • Is there an incarnate for every concept? No
  • All incarnates can be killed, but this does not remove the concept from the world
  • CIARÁN MY BABY BOY (did not die) (deathless)
  • Sleep Incarnate – Our previous interaction is no longer canon (lime green tube top)
  • Azof: perfection incarnate
  • Vasania: Insanity incarnate (Picasso painting)
  • They all have a mind and a physical form (randomised)
  • They can all transform into a bird (except Bird Incarnate)
  • Cold Incarnate: Penguin
  • When killed, they become a seed (orb-like object that contains all their power) (you can use their power with this)
  • Most of them don’t know any magic at all, but the ones that do only have one spell slot of each level, also take longer to recover spell slots
  • We should probably try to kill them all
  • KAM SAYS: “YOU HAVE TO EARN THE SEED.”
  • Also: “make a death saving throw.”
  • Knowledge Incarnate bird form = owl (probably lol)
