Monetary System will be in silver bits, or gold coins. 20 silver = 1 gold
Currency should be kept up with on CS, and changed upon usage in posts. This also applies to all ammunitions, firearms or bows. Prices should be made to resemble comparable amounts of common items.. Like a beer is usually 2 or 3 bucks, so to make it easy we just translate to 2 or 3 bits, as they should resemble or be close to comparative currencies of today.

You will need to add a level to your character sheet as well. I plan on rewarding everyone throughout the story with experience and each time you level up or learn a new skill I will provide you with new skillsets and points to disperse in your respective preexisting lists as well. Everyone's character should be level one, and should fit into one of these categories:

Rogue, Cutpurse, Burglar, Strong-Arm, Bodyguard, Apothecary, Alchemist, Forger, Pirate, Bandit, Duelist, etc.. and everyone should be considered either a novice or apprentice level to start.

Armor rating will give you a bit of protection from incoming damage and may take the entire brunt of a blow if you're lucky. These armor attributes will be used when trying to make a saving throw in combat posts. You will roll a 1d20 + Armor to see if you take a wound or not. The wound doesn't have to be lethal, just a guideline for posting as is intended, for the sake of the story as with the rest of it. Also take note that Regular Clothing has a mod value of +1, and Bludgeoning Damage takes a -1 to your score as well.

These Armor Rating Mods can be found in the Purchasable Goods Tabs under the Armor Hider.

Beginning characters will receive 20 points to divide into these attributes. These will be used for various rolls when performing certain actions throughout the game...

Awareness - How aware you are of your surroundings, how alert you are to certain elements within the story. Rolled when searching or checking for traps or other hidden elements or opportunities.
Strength - How strong your character is physically.
Dexterity - How agile and graceful your character is. How well your character can perform technical actions.
Charisma - How much charm your character has, how well your character can charm their way into something, or out of trouble. Also critical when bartering or purchasing goods.
Intelligence - Literally how smart you are. Anything below a 2 is illiterate and cannot read. the more you know the more languages they may be able to speak or read. Will come in handy when trying to solve puzzles.
Wit - How well your character can think on their feet. Street-smarts. Useful when trying to lose a tail, or escaping certain situations. How well you can talk down a situation or swindle another person. Also useful when trying to decide if someone is lying or not.
Willpower - Just how much your character can take mentally and physically. The very limit of your character's ability to withstand certain hardships, and also how strong-headed they are. Determination, in a nutshell.
Luck - Yep.. you guessed it. Everybody needs a bit of this stuff every once in a while.


Beginning characters will also get 20 points to divide into at least 5 skillset categories. You may have more than 5 but no less.

Skillsets include: Pick-pocketing, Lock-Picking, Stealth/Subterfuge, Scaling/Climbing, Disarming Security Devices/Traps, Pilfering, Shadow-Bending*, Swimming, Heightened Sense of Sight, Heightened Sense of Hearing, Illusion, Evasion, Stealthy Blow, Silver Tongue/Persuasion, Pan-handling, Acrobatics, Sleight of Hand, Gambling/Cheating, Throwing Weapons, Ranged Weapon Proficiency, Scheming, Parry, etc..

I am open to other skills as well but I prefer these simpler types.. Please make sure your inquiries aren't too lavish.

I'm not going to go to check every roll, and this will be based on trust in the individuals playing. Remember that these players aren't exactly the best of people, so some failures will add to their character and should provide a good read, and also make everyone write a bit out pocket.. at least that's the idea. Again you don't have to roll on every occasion or every small action, just on ones that hold weight in each post. A Dice Roller can be found on the home page of the Guild over on the right I think. Look at Y'Vanna's sheet to see how these points are dispersed. You don't have to only have 5 skills, just not any less than that.

Initiative rolls will be done in posting process by individual players and are as follows:

Awareness Rolls- will be utilized to search for things or scan your immediate surroundings for clues, or to get a jump on any encounters.. The locating of traps and hidden items or clues, descriptions of environments, hidden routes and passages, etc.

Willpower Rolls- will be done to determine whether or not your characters can withstand certain forces within the game, and is basically the measurement of your resolve to see how you will act under pressure. Things like resisting certain statuses like sickness, sleep, starvation, hexes and curses, thought reading or mind control, etc.

Intelligence Rolls:- will be rolled to determine if your character is smart enough to decipher codes, read and understand various languages etc. The ability to learn new things, and the ability to retain information.

Wit Rolls:- will be utilized when trying to outsmart an opponent or encounter, your ability to reason with, or get one over on another individual. To outsmart the other party involved.

Charisma Rolls:- will be rolled when bartering, or when trying to be persuasive with another NPC or neutral encounters. It is a representation of how likeable your character is, and how well you can sway someone in your favor. It can lead to better prices when buying items or services, or win you favorable odds with the opposite sex in particular.

Attack Rolls:- will be rolled in combat along with your Dexterity Mod (or skill mod if applicable) when fighting with weapons, or with your Strength Mod for unarmed combat.
Note: Each player may have 2 attacks as beginning players unless they are equipped with a shield*. This negates one attack.

Armor:- Armor rolls will be used as a saving throw against taking wounds. Your final saving grace against combat wounds. If blocking with a shield you will roll for it's mod, and if this fails you may then roll for your armor.

Luck Rolls:- as the name suggests, luck is luck. Roll this if all else fails and maybe, just maybe, the god's will shine on you.
