That wasn't very fun.

 

 

Okay, I now have HDv3 and I'm having a bit o fun. Some Edean stuff might materialize.

Edean: The Elements

 

In Consol RPG's the traditional 4 elements are almost always included. However, they are also merely 4 of the elements. On Edean, there are 9 elements:

 

Air: The Breath of life, speed, flight, the Hurricane's Fury.

Cold: Chilling, beautiful.

Darknes: Also known as Unholy. Fearsome & Silent.

Earth: Sturdy, eternal, Yet can act with tremendous strength and fury.

Fire: The spark of creativity, the destroyer, beauty, danger.

Light: Also Known as Holy. Light is life, glory, peace.

Thunder: The crash of Thunder, the harbinger if Lightning. .

Water: The life giver, but can react violently.

Wood: Sturdy, life giving, strong

 

 

The Elements are broken up into Healing, Attacking, Defending, and Moving catagories.

 

Healing Elements:

Air

Light

Wood

Water

 

Attacking Elements:

Air: Strong Winds, Tornadoes

Cold: Ice Attacks, Cold Beams

Darknes: Status Effects, Life Drain

Earth: Physical Attacks

Fire: Flame Attacks

Light: Positive Energy attacks

Thunder: Electrical Attacks

Water: Drowning or physical "Wave" attacks

Wood: Physical Attacks

 

Defenending Elements:

Darkness

Earth

Wood

 

Movement Elements:

Air

Darkness

Fire

Light

Water

 

Elements also compliment and contradict eachother.

When in opposition:

 

Air > Cold > Earth > Thunder > Water > Fire > Wood > Air

 

Light And Darkness cancel eachother out. Attacks of the Ligh (Holy) SFX do more damage to Darkness (Unholy) creatures and vise versa.

 

Compliments: Combining complimentary elements increases or alters abilities, spells, and powers with elemental sfx.

 

Air

Compliments: Cold, Fire, Light, Thunder, Water

Aids damage, movement, and area effects

 

Cold

Compliments: Air, Darkness, Light, Thunder, Water

Killing damage, Status effects, entangles

 

Darkness

Compliments: Cold, Fire, Thunder, Water

Status Effects, Aids Damage

 

Earth

Compliments: Fire, Light, Water, Wood

Aids Defense, Cure Status, Enhance STR and CON

 

Fire

Compliments: Air, Darkness, Earth, Light, Thunder

Aids Damage, Enhance PRE & INT

 

Light

Compliments: Air, Cold, Earth, Fire, Water, Wood

Aids Damage, Aids Healing, Cure Status, Enhance Any CHA, Aids Movement

 

Thunder

Compliments: Air, Fire, Light, Water

Aids Damage, Status Effects, Enhance STR, DEX, SPD

 

Water

Compliments: Air, Cold, Darkness, Earth, Light, Thunder, Wood

Aids Healing, Cure Status, Enhance CON, Life Support

 

For the most part this is conceptual dealings only. But spells can be created with this in mind. Complimentary Elements might have similar spells or abilities

the Contradictions can be treated as SFX flavour only or as a 0pt spell mechanic.

 

By this weekend I hope to throw together a nine Elemental Package Deals for Edean creatures to be used as "Templates", Subtypes, or whathaveyou.

Map of the MegaContinent

 

Here's a rough sketch of the megacontinent of Edean.

Cool, any chance of seeing where the major areas are?

I'm working on it.

A bit of Crunch in the Edean Fluff.

 

Wonder Materials! You know them, they are the special metals, the fictional flora, Mitrhil, Adamantium, Superlfuum!

 

In the world of Edean, the usual suspects exist but there are some unique (at least I hope they're unique) materials.

 

Mithril: This rare metal is light and sturdy. Items made of mithril are 50%-500% more expensive than items made of steel. However, they stronger and lighter, the DEF of Mithril Armor is not effected but any armor made of mithril weights 50% less than it's steel counterpart. Mithril items are also rust/corrosive resistant. They are treated has durable(+0 Advantage); their defense is doubled vs acid attacks (against the armor, not the wearer), and they are treated as having Power Defense equal to their DEF vs acids, rust, and corrosive effects (this again benefits the armor, not the wearer). Mithril takes well to enchantments and is quite rare.

 

Adamantium: Even rarer is the gold colored Adamantium. Adamantium is stronger than steel but a bit heavier than Mithril. Adamantium weapons and armor are very expensive +100%-1000% in cost. Armors made with Adamantium have a 50% higher DEF than their steel counterparts, weigh 10% less, and are considered durable. Adamantium is also as resiliant as Mithril above, so it has the DEF and Power Defense properties described above. Weapons made with Adamantium enjoy a +2DC bonus. (so a shortsword would be 1.5d6 rather than 1d6 damage) (alternately if you use the Piercing advantage, Adamantium weapons should be considered to have 3 pts of Piercing (ignoring the first 3pts of resistant defenses they face).

 

Millennium Wood: weapons, armor, and shields made from the wood of these ancient, gigantic, quasi sentient trees holds many special qualities. Lighter than steel and almost as strong, they are more flexible and do considerably more damage to undead than regular wood or steel. Only the Yggridsill seem to have a steady supply of the material and they generally don't sell it. However it can occasionally be found. Millennium Wood items are generally thousands of times more expensive than a standard wood item.

Like Mithral they are 50% lighter but just as strong.

They also take well to enchantment.

They are non metallic.

They do increased damage to undead (+3DC); and they also enhance healing performed by or on weilders (they have to be held or worn at the time, the bonus doesn't stack) Add +2d6 simple healing when used as a focus or if worn by the person being healed.

 

Celestium: A rare metal that was only discovered after the coming of the Althonic pantheon. Celestium is a white metal that when forged become a gleaming pale blue white. Strong and magic ready, it is considered some fo the finest material to work with by smiths and runesmiths. Items created with Celestium are 60% lighter, 10% stronger, and twice as resistant as mithril and adamantium (double the DEF and PowDef), they are inherantly durable. Celestium is aligned with the forces of light and good. Evil beings that touch items made of celestium take 1pip of killing damage per segment they hold it. Celestium weapons do x2 Damage to Demonic/Fiendish beings. They do +2DC damage to Evil beings of any other race.

 

Infernite: Also discovered after the Althonic pantheon arose, Infernite is dull black when found however, when worked it becomes a glossy black with deep red highlights, creating hauntingly beautiful pieces. The opposite number of celestium, Infrunite items are evilly aligned and do double damge to Angelic/Celestial beings and +3DC to good aligned beings of other races. Not as light as it's counterpart it is deadlier and stronger, +50% DEF, Give it 5 Piercieng Points or +3 DC's damge, good aligned cretures take 1/2d6k from touching the weapons.

 

Chrysm: A brilliant, crystaline ore that can be worked into arms and armor. Chrysm is elemental in nature and carries high amounts of energy: It is light and sturdy, non metallic, and holds energy. Items made with it are 25% lighter. They have also add 10 Edn and 1 Rec per point of body in the item to Mana Pools, double if you are an elementalist and you have the appropriate Chrysm. Chrysm aslo affects along the elemental chart; doing +2DC to the element that is weak against it. (Be that creatures of that elemental nature or items made from the chrysm of that element)

Chrysm appears as a brightly polished, stone seemingly glowing with an internal light. The colors correspond to thier respective elements

 

Dark Blue: Thunder

Royal Blue: Water

Deep Sky Blue: Air

Dark Green: Wood

Red: Fire

Yellow: Light

Black: Dark

Pale Blue: Cold

Brown: Earth

Re: The World of Edean

 

Special Abilties time!

 

Some job classes in the jrpg's have "traditional" abilities. I'm going to try to emulate those with HERO rules. Though I won't be averse to help from the audience.

 

Some I am looking at:

 

 

Steal: This ability allows a roguish character to extract funds from his foes when he attacks them. Used in combat, takes gold in lieu of doing damage.

This is easy, it's a slight of hand vs PER roll.

However, the advanced version, Mug also causes damage. This is also used in combat.

I was thinking a triggered attack along with the slight of hand; perhaps the trigger being the successful Slight of Hand v PER attempt.

Item Break/Offense/Defense Down: This ability lowers the target's attacks or defense.

It could be as simple as a bonus to attack their items (armor, weapons, etc) but that breaks gear that you could potentially loot and some gear is tougher than that) perhaps a Drain on DEF and DC's from the items?

 

Status Attacks: Very popular in jrpg games. In addition to damage, you affect your opponents with a status (Poison, Blindness, Paralysis, etc).

These are the easiest, it's simply a triggered attack based on successfully striking your foe with your standard attack.

 

...will think of more.

Personality/Motivation: Proud and fierce, Earth Dragons are also patient and calculating. They are stubborn but loyal to their friends and allies. They have an inately solitary nature and though they mate for life and are incredibly loyal, even mated pairs often have seperate lairs or at least separate dens inside thier lairs. Young Earth Dragons display an early independance and seek to find their own way as soon as possible. Of all the dragons of Edean the Earth Dragon has the coolest attitudes towards the Draconic Empire, and while individual dragons may be more or less loyal, may or may not be used as mounts for the Clan Onyx; the majority avoid the matters of the "young races" and the politics among their own kind with equal apathy.

However, once annoyed, angered, or aroused to a cause, they are tireless warriors. Quote: "I'm feeling bored. Perhaps a nap?"Powers/Tactics: The Earth Dragon, since it lacks the ability to strike from the sky, tends to stalk it's prey like a giant tiger or lion. They are agile, and for Dragons, phenomenal leapers. They are strong and tough and have been known to pull crazy, reckless stunts in combat (jumping from steep cliffs, bursting forth from the earth below, etc). Campaign Use: Monster to fight, ally to be won. Appearance: The Great Earth Dragons of Edean appear as large scaled beasts who's features resemble both canines and lions. The are intelligent, and powerful. Their scales range from earth tones to metallics (gold, bronze, brass, etc.)They have manes of dark hair near their heads but are otherwise hairless. They lack the wings that many of the other dragons of Edean posses and cannot fly under natural means (though they may know spells that allow flight).

Re: The World of Edean

 

Yeah, these guys are Final Fantasy's "Dragoons" Class. Spear men who jump about.

The Combat Mobility power means that in addition to being able to go from standstill to full speed, they can also basically run their entire movement as a "Half-move" They can also make some serious leaps.
