[HQ Ignorance] Re : Re : Re : First Scene: Sog City, Message test and questions...

Sun Jan 14 09:30:19 UTC 2007

Ok I reworked my list of Keyword according to your advices, personnal thinkings and to repair this stupid cut&paste effect in my message...

Could we beginning to build a list saying who is who (or what, let's don't forget that we also have stone and plant men) ? ;-)

Questions : How many/much talismans are we allowed ?

Loskalm keywords (from the Seshnela exemple):
--------------------------- 

Loskalmi Abilities:
- Assess Class Achievement
- Obey Superior
- Rural Survival
- Loskalmi Customs
- Loskalmi Geography
- Speak Loskalmi

Typical Personality Traits:
- Fear Dragons
- Obedient
- Pious

Typical Relationships:
- to Congregation
- to Family
- to Vassal Overlord

Magic:
- Common magic
- New Hrestoli Church (Wizardry)

New Hrestoli Church (from the Rokari Church exemple):
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Abilities:
- Doctrine of New Hrestoli Church
- Recognize Church Authority
- Worship Makan
Virtues :
- Try Harder
- Rejoice
Magic:
- King Siglat's Dream (?)
Other Side:
- Joy or Solace Planes (?)

Knight (from cavalery soldier p31):
-------------------------------------------------
Abilities:
- Chivalry Code
- Camp
- Care for Horse
- Heraldry
- Riding
- Scan for Danger
- Jousting
- Command Inferiors
- Mounted Combat
- Sword & Shield
- Heavy Lance
- Knight Order Traditions
Typical Personality Traits:
- Brave
- Combative
- Disciplined
- Loyal
- Honorable
Typical Relationships:
- to Knight Order or Overlord
- to others Knights
Typical Followers
- War Horse (choose quality HQ p31)
- Mounted Squire
Standard of Living:
- Common to Prosperous
Typical Equipment:
- Normal Horse
- War horse
- Melee weapons
- Heavy Armor

Errant Knight Order of the Sparrowhawk:
----------------------------------------------------------
The Book of Sparrowhawk:
In Loskalm, the Sparrowhawk is a symbol of a small, solitary but valiant killer of harmful rodents dangerous for crops. It represents the errant knight devoted to protect the Farmer caste.
The book is a compilation of secrets get by different questing members of the order since its foundation. The Book has several versions but only the newest ones are complete.
Entry Requirements:
- Must be an accomplished member of the Hrestoli Soldier Caste
Churches:
- New Hrestoli Church only
Abilities:
- Create Portal of Power
- Know Sparrowhawk Order Secrets
- Military History
- One against Several Tactics
- Befriend Farmer Caste
- Read/Write Loskalmi

(I suppress "Write Secret Messages" because with "Know Order Secrets" and "Read/Write", we can have the same effect without adding an new ability, and it is logical that a Hrestoli Knight Order prepares for caste advancement)

Relationships:
- Member of the Errant Knight Order of the Sparrowhawk
Virtues :
- Intrepid (instead  of "Courageous" much more Sparrowhawkish to me)
- Charitable (instead of "Humble" much more hrestoli to me)
Grimoires:
-  King Siglat's Dream (?)
- The Book of The Sparrowhawk (Detect Fear, Paralyzing Shrieking Dive, Follow Escaping Prey, Find Courage to Attack Bigger than Self, Burst the Eyes, Choking Talons, Distant Sight)
Talismans:
- Members of the Sparrowhawk Order use Sparrowhawk feather for talisman
Other side:
- The Sparrowhawk nest is a node of virtues connected to the nodes of the New Hrestoli Church.
Disavantages:
- Far less prestigious than the Great Order of  the Sparrow, the Errant Knight Order of the Sparrowhawk is often scorned by upper castes members, as a poor bunch of rat chasers.

Battle Seers Chapter: 
-------------------------------
To be defined with the GM, Azhur is just a new member perhaps still under testing phase.

After GM's final blesing, I will build the PC in details.

Nice sunday to you
Loran
