Air Pirates in a Fantasy Setting

Re: Air Pirates in a Fantasy Setting

 

OK, from memory Circle was the characters "level" a Talent had a Circle rating that indicated what circle you had to be to use it, Rank was the "level" a particular ability was. So my 3rd Circle character could have a Rank of 3 in the 2nd Circle ability "Durability". Spells also had Circle ratings telling you what circle you had to be to cast them. Magicians had at least one "Matrix" they used to cast spells safely. The Rank of the matrix told you how big a spell you could put in it. Some Matrices were pooled and you could put several spells in them provided the total wasn't more than your Rank in that matrix. If you didn't have the spell you wanted there was too choices, cast it without a matrix and risk attracting horrors or restring your Matrix on the fly.

 

I think they deliberately avoided using the word "level" because D&D used it for about 4 different things.

 

Repped for educational value and for seven-year thread necromancy.
