Introduction
Beginnings are always muddled in history, as generally

those doing the recording are too nostalgic or harsh.
The origins of Nexus are no different; all those that
were there and took part in it are inherently biased
and thus often get it wrong.

RequieM Chapter 1 Introduction

The Basics
ing element, where your character might have some

specific goals to achieve, either alone or with the help
of others. Many conflicts and goals in LARPs are resolved with simulated boffer combat, similar to sports.
While role-playing is the main focus of LARP, combat
is often a large part of the game.
What is a LARP?
A live action role-playing game (LARP) is a form
of role-playing game where the participants physically
act out their characters' actions. Role-playing games
are very different from normal games, as there is no
defined winning or losing. Similar to improvisation or
reality television, there are no scripts or pre-defined
actions your character must do. Playing involves being
immersed in a game world where you live, dress, act,
and even sleep as the character you have created. Different LARPs vary greatly. There is a broad spectrum
of settings that play takes place in, methods of physically representing the characters, the setting, game
rules, and types of activity that characters are involved
in. While there are many types and styles of LARPs,
this book specifically explains how to play the game
Requiem, and all of its rules.
Boffer Combat
All manner of attacks used in a LARP have a high
consideration for safety. The rules of the game are
simply a system for handling combat, magic, and
thieving which is designed to make sure no one gets
hurt. There may be the odd bruise or ankle-twist, but
Boffer combat shouldnt be any more dangerous than
hiking or a game of soccer or baseball. Boffer combat
typically features foam and tape or latex weapons and
beanbags (birdseed packets) used to represent magic
and ranged abilities. Weapon construction is further
outlined later in this rulebook. Weapon strikes should
always be lightest touch meaning that players should
not only restrict their swings to a minimum of force
but also count strikes against them even if it was barely
felt. However a partially blocked blow is still a block.
Head, hands and groin are all illegal targets and anyone struck a blow in one of those areas with a weapon
need not count it against them. Some players enjoy
this aspect of LARPing immensely while others prefer
to avoid it. Both can exist and both can have fun in
the same setting!
What is Requiem?
The Requiem is a Fantasy Adventure LARP based

in a medieval world with elements of magic and limited technology. We use the FAE rule system (Fantasy Adventure Education) which focuses on system of
live action boffer combat. This means that there are no
dice, or anything like that to simulate combat, except
foam weapons made to (safely) resemble real ones.
More of the focus of the rules is to promote an atmosphere that is purely In Game, or in other words where
you are always pretending to be a character.
Characters
A Player (thats you) will have a Character (thats
what you create) that he or she is playing, and the interaction between many characters (good and evil)
creates a story. Some characters are played by the Staff
that helps to run the game, but many are played by
players like you! This character that you create can
grow in strength and skills and is saved between
Events, and you can play the same character again the
next time you play. This character becomes the focus
of your role-playing, and his or her involvement in
plotlines (or stories) is how most people find enjoyment in LARPing. Your character can be put in difficult or impossible situations, can be a hero (or a villain!) or could even tragically perish, all inside the parameters of the game. There is also an adventure gam6

Why People LARP
Honor System
People LARP for a number of reasons, the most

important being that it is fun! Some play to be someone else for a few hours or a few days at a time. Some
enjoy the social aspects of the game and the opportunity to meet new people. Others play for the pure exhilaration of letting your mind run wild in a world of
complete fantasy. Some players just like the opportunity to get away from their desks and do something
physical in the fresh air. Whatever your reason, reading this book is the first step. The first rule is dont be
daunted! Learning to LARP is relatively strait forward.
While mastering LARPing can take years, there is a
small learning curve you need to pass before the learning becomes fun. Generally everyone is welcoming of
new players, and we will all forgive your mistakes and
are glad to answer questions you have. Eventually, it
will all come naturally to you, but the beginning is
expected to be a little bumpy.
The most important part about LARPing is to

remember that it based on the Honor System. This
means that in almost all circumstances, we trust you to
accurately keep track of your own characters statistics,
abilities, and hit points. It is easy to get caught up in
competitive nature of the game, but remember that
everyone you fight, even the lowly skeleton or zombie,
is being played by a real person. Treating them with
respect Out of Game (or to the player not the character) is extremely important. Acknowledging hits you
take, and avoiding even the semblance of cheating will
cause everyone to respect you and accept you into the
community. The important part is that everyone has
fun in the boundaries of the rules. Cheating is taken
very seriously, and can lead to disciplinary actions all
the way up to being asked to leave Requiem LARP
permanently.
LARP Interest
Now while the rules to play the game itself are

fairly straightforward, many people are quickly overwhelmed with Character Creation. We understand
that learning a new system of rules and learning about
characters can be quite burdensome. We have split the
rules of the game to play and the character creation
into two separate chapters for that reason. The 3rd
chapter deals exclusively with the character building
process, but do not be afraid to ask for help from your
friends, Staff or other players on how things work.
The Forums and Email are also excellent resources if
you need help not at an Event.
How to Make a Character
People generally get out of LARPing what they

put in. This means that if you come to an event prepared, and have done the small amount of legwork
required things are more fun. If you have a costume
and are willing to give it an honest shot and expect to
have fun, you usually do. If you come unprepared or
with preconceived notions about your dislike of
LARPing; that can generally happen as well. We assume that you are interested, or would like to be interested because you are reading this. Our main advice
for you is to get involved. Put on a Costume, grab
some Boffer Weapons, and put your heart into your
character, and you will be pleasantly surprised (we
hope!) how much fun you really can have.
Disclaimer
When you register and pay for an event, that

money is used for props, campsite rental, insurance,
etc. We dont run this to make money. Our goal is to
entertain every player and give them an enjoyable
event. However, that being said, Nexus is an extremely
hostile world; expect that your character might die.
Without that fear of death, something is generally
missing from the atmosphere of realism. If your character does permanently die during an event we welcome you to make another character or to help Staff
the event and play NPCs (Non-Player Characters) for
the remainder of the weekend. It should be understood that your event fee is no guarantee to your characters safety or advancement.
Rules
Dont be afraid that the rules seem confusing or
overwhelming at first. This is perfectly normal, and
everyone started out new at some point. Even experienced players make mistakes; new players are forgiven without a second thought. If you have questions,
there are always people to help out, and if you are in
combat there is even something called Clarification
that is meant to help you new players specifically out.
Just say Clarification, What does that do? and
whoever hit you with something will be glad to explain
what it does.

Campaign Info
medieval setting, with some small elements of steampunk. The difference of course being that Nexus is a
world of magic. Powerful spells, magical creatures
(again, good and evil) and miracles are an almost everyday occurrence.
Races
In Requiem, you are not limited to playing human; in fact we actually discourage it! Part of getting
into a LARP is getting into a costume, makeup and
character. There are 30 playable Races, in Requiem,
giving a large choice. There are no filler races, each
one designed specifically to be unique and interesting.
Whether you want to be an angel like Seraphim, a
limber Wyld Elf, or even a nefarious Ghoul, there is
something for everyone. Often a characters race is one
of the first and most important decisions in character
creation. If you are willing to put the time and effort
into more face paint or prosthetics, there is access to
even more powerful racial abilities for your character,
as races with a high costuming requirement have more
potent skills.
Runevale - A Brief History
The town the campaign focuses around is called

Runevale. Strategically located over the underground
Dwarven city of NaeGrum, Runevale is on the northern section of the continent of Bolterra. The town has
formed in mutual defense, guarding the Dwarves
back door and access to above ground. The Church
of Light, one of the few organizations against rhe Undead left, also has a vested interest in the locale. That
is not to say that there are not enemies! Runevale is on
prime real-estate, which is partially on a thick sheet of
bedrock, which leaves the town itself defended against
the Worms, but is wanted by other forces as well.
Types of Characters
Worms?
Part of the worry some people have when reading

a new rule system is whether the type of character you
want to play is available, viable and fun. Have faith
that there is something in Requiem for everyone!
Without trying to overwhelm newer players there are
over a 100 of available headers with 1000s of individual skills to uniquely customize your character! While
this might sound overboard, the rule system is designed for ease of play, and while you may not know
how a skill works exactly, you will always know what it
does. The goal is that no two players ever have to be
identical, and characters can vary widely even in assigned stereotypes. Ideally every character imaginable
is not only viable, but fun and interesting to play, with
unique twists to the typically boring types.
While their exact origin is unknown, the worms

have decimated the population of Undead and the
remnants of the races alike. Recently freed from the
Crimson Sands to the north, most consider them a
blessing, for without them, the hordes of Undead
would surely overpower the rest of the living. Blind,
but with excellent seismic hearing, worms are attracted
to large groups of people. This makes fielding an army
next to impossible, and people are generally limited to
banding together in groups of 6 or less, except in very
specific circumstances.
How to Learn More

There are pages and pages of history available written from an In Game perspective, that can give you
some idea what to expect, and assist in coming up with
a Character History and learning about the game
world. More information is located in Chapter 6,
which is all about the Game World. In addition, there
are specific Racial Packets about each of the races, explanations of the Deities and other useful information
in the Library section of the Website. If you have any
questions, feel free to Email us, or ask them on our
Forums, or to any of the players, everyone is generally
glad to help out, or to point you in the right direction!
Of course, some information may not be available easily, and need to be found out during an Event.
World of Nexus
Requiem focuses on the world of Nexus. Nexus is
a world on the decline; civilizations have fallen and
humanity is in danger of going extinct. Deities have
awakened, many new races have appeared, Undead
seek to wipe life from the world, and even darker
forces may be stirring. Those who have survived have
banded together in small communities. Only by working together with others do any of the characters stand
a chance of pushing back the darkness. Most technology does not work, or works much differently there.
While some does, it is similar to the dark ages, or a

What is an Event?
Event Preparation
An Event is a specific time and location that the

game runs. These are usually months apart, to give
people time to recover, and to give Plot a chance to
come up with the necessary items and ideas to run the
next one. While you can RP (role-play) with each
other between events, many actions are limited to at
Events.
So we have sold you on this whole LARPing concept and you are ready to leave. Not so fast! Would
you go to work, school or even vacation unprepared?
We didnt think so. Being prepared and knowing what
to bring to a LARP is an important part of making
sure that you have fun.
Always IG
Just because you cannot drive to a particular

Event, does not always mean you cannot attend.
There will be posts on the Forums about carpooling,
and ways of saving gas. If you have spare room in your
car, feel free to chime in as well, offering it to those in
need. Often this is a great way to make new friends at
a game as well!
Rides & Carpooling
Requiem runs events with the philosophy that

while the game is running, you are always In Game.
This means that you eat, sleep, and breathe your character the whole time. Exceptions are made for things
like the bathroom, but there is no putting a hand on
your head or a headband that denotes Out of Game.
In addition, NPCs and Plot will react to Out of Game
comments as if you are possessed and speaking in tongues. Of course things like clarifications are allowed,
but try to avoid discussions of the latest video game, or
sports team.
Always be Prepared
This type of Event has a general start and stop

time in the span of a day, providing time for Set Up
and Clean Up. These events do not involve staying
overnight, and almost always do not have kitchen service, but there will be a break for food, and/or a large
delivery or takeout order.
Especially for Full Weekend Events, there are generally a lot of things that players bring to Events. It is
always better to bring more than is needed, then not
have something you might not have thought to bring.
This includes spare / extra costuming, and anything
else you might have lying around. Even if you are
planning to NPC, if you have costuming that fits you,
and/or spare weapon reps, they are well appreciated,
and will give you items you are already comfortable
using. We have tried to list some helpful reminders of
suggestions of things you might forge.
Full Weekend
Not Everything is Listed!
This type of Event is the bread and butter of

LARPing. They start on Friday Evening, generally run
until game is called Sunday afternoon. These events
involving staying overnight in Cabins or Tents, and
will generally have a kitchen and food prepared there
available for a modest fee.
This is not an exhaustive list, but is a start for

those that have no idea what to expect. If there is
something you think you might need, bring it! A
quick word of advice though, be aware of your packing
as sometimes cars can get full fast, especially if multiple
people are riding together.
Other Gatherings
Rules
Adventure Day
There are other types of social or LARP gatherings

that can happen, These fall into two broad categories:
Events where you are playing your character and/or in
costume (Feasts, Play Tests, IG Parties, etc) and those
that happen when you are not in character (Fighter
Practices, Work Days, OOG Parties, etc). Almost
always there will be Influence and/CP for attending
them and becoming part of the community though.
First, there are some items you should never bring

to any Requiem sponsored Event. This rule is serious,
and for safety reasons even first offenses of Contraband
Rule can lead to disciplinary action, up to and including permanent expulsion from all future Requiem
Events. These and all safety rules are taken very seriously, anything that constitutes a safety hazard is
strictly against the rules.

Don't Bring
Bring
No Alcohol or Recreational Drugs
Emergency Information
You should never bring, or be under the influence

of any alcohol or drugs at a Requiem event. If you
have to bring prescription drugs to an Event, make
sure you let a member of Plot know in advance. Anyone found to be under the influence of alcohol or nonprescription drugs will be asked to leave the premises
immediately. No exceptions.
During Check In, if your emergency contact information is not up to date, please be ready with any
information you may need. We dont expect anything
to happen, but we want to be prepared if it does. All
participants must also sign Requiems Liability Waiver
to play, as well as anything other documents specific
sites may require. Young Adults (ages 16-17) must
have parental signature and permission to play as well.
No Real Weapons
Duct Tape
This includes replica swords or other period weapons that you might have. Unsafe latex or plastic weapons for decorations for cabins are acceptable, but anything metal or sharp should not be brought. Nor
should any knife over 4 inches, or not used for utility
purposes. There is never any reason to ever bring a
real gun to events.
It has a Light side, a Dark side and holds the universe together. It is incredibly useful, bring some.
Duct tape can be used to quickly repair a weapon, or
anything else damaged, used in marking items Out of
Game (if it is Yellow) and 1001 other uses, that you
probably have never thought of, but will need while
you are there.
No Valuable or Delicate Items
Sleeping Bag or Bedding
Dont bring anything extremely valuable or sentimental to events that you could not afford to lose or
have accidentally broken. LARPing is generally stressful on costuming and supplies, and it is a sport. While
we encourage great costuming, be aware that spending
hundreds of dollars on a costume does not mean your
character is guaranteed to survive as well.
Most sites have an old mattress on a rickety metal

frame. Make sure to bring comfortable sleeping gear,
pay special attention to the weather and pack according. Most Events we will not have heated buildings so
make sure to bring extra if you get cold easily. It can
still get cold at night even in the summer so regardless
of the season pack as if it may get much colder or
much warmer. Also do not forget a pillow.
No Grills, Candles or Open Flame

Real fire or anything with an open flame or heat is
not allowed unless specifically stated by the Game
Owner. This includes lit candles (though unlit ones
for decoration is fine), incense, grills and/or portable
cooking devices. This also includes space heaters and
electric blankets. Often we have agreements with the
Sites we rent at, and it is not our choice.
Extra Clothing
Full Weekend events are generally from Friday
evening to Sunday afternoon. That means you are
going to need some spare sets of clothing for the
Event. Remember to bring a lot of different layers as
events can get hotter or colder then you expect. Also
do not forget a towel.
OOG Treasure
Bring Extra Socks

Bring Extra Socks
Dont bring any treasure to an Event you do not

intend to be In Game during the event. This specifically includes anything you may want to trade before
or after events. Leaving treasure in a car, an Out of
Game chest, or anywhere else similar is never allowed,
without specific Plot Permission. Feel free to gather or
utilize In Game resources, such as Wards, Traps or
Locks to protect your well earned loot.
Thats right, we said it twice, because you should

bring 2 pairs per day the event is going to last. Also
consider bringing a second pair of shoes. It may rain,
or you may step into a puddle. Things happen and its
a good idea to always have a spare and dry set of everything to change into.
10

Toiletries
Money
Toothbrush, toothpaste, floss and mouthwash,

deodorant, soap, washcloths, toilet paper, brush,
comb, shampoo, conditioner, etc All of the important stuff that somehow someone always manages to
forget. And did we mention to always bring a towel?
Event Fee, Vendors, Food, Gas, Emergencies etc...
Cleanup Supplies
Garbage bags are useful for keeping your cabin
clean, as emergency ponchos, covering a nasty mattress, among many other things. Also remember a
broom and dustpan may not always be available from
the camp so its often a good idea to bring your own.
Every players Cabin is their own responsibility to set
up at the beginning and clean up afterwards. You
cannot rely on Plot or NPCs. We rent these sites and
if they are not properly cleaned we may not be invited
back.
Costuming and Decor

Double check all of your costuming and any decorations you have for your Cabin. In fact, we recommend triple checking it, as it is easy to forget a pivotal
piece, such as a pouch or belt. If you have costuming
for another Character, that can be useful as well, in
case your character dies, and/or you spend some time
NPCing.
Item Tags and Treasure
Makeup Supplies
If you have been before, dont forget any tags or In

Game treasure you might have. Anything not brought
to the event cannot be used, and anything brought to
the event must be In Game at all times. A good word
of advice is to check and double check all of your tags
and treasure every event before you go, along with all
other Out of Game supplies you may need.
Mirror, baby wipes, character makeup, sponges,

spirit gum/ remover, prosthetics, airbrush, etc. Races
that require makeup generally require multiple applications during a weekend to keep it looking good.
Make sure to inspect your makeup supplies before getting on site, and realize they are ruined or you will not
have enough to finish the Event.
First Aid
While Staff will have a first aid kit available, having extra Band-Aids, an ace bandage, etc is never a bad
idea. Its recommended to bring some Advil or Tylenol, and another thing people often forget is insect
repellent, and/or anti-itch cream. Remember that
these Events are generally heavily outdoors.
Food/Drink
Many people have their own ideas on what makes

good food for an Event. We will attempt to provide
meals at Full Weekend events, unless announced in
advance. Even with food service, there is it might be
something you dont like or do not wish to purchase.
Often, snacks are better purchased ahead of time.
Some food/drink that is often brought to events is the
same that is brought to sporting events or picnics: Water, Soda, Gatorade, energy drinks, cookies, chips,
crackers, ready to eat foods etc. Please remember that
modern labels and wrappings on food are discouraged,
and to bring mugs, and/or covers for food and drink
to keep things in atmosphere.

Costuming
Weapons & Armor
Makeup
Safety Check
At Requiem, we require certain makeup and prosthetics to be worn by those playing non-humans, for
instance all players playing Dark Elves must wear black
face paint and pointed ears with white or silver hair.
This allows others to identify your character's race at a
glance. This makeup should be maintained reasonably
through the whole Event.
All weapons must pass a safety inspection before

they can be used in the game. This is especially true of
any Latex Weapon. While we are less strict about latex
weapons then many LARPs they still must be approved, and be safe to use. Weapons will often fail
safety check for a number of reasons so its good to
bring along extra materials for emergency repairs and a
spare weapon is always a smart idea. Safety check must
be done at Check In, before the Event begins.
PC Costume
Our system requires that you make at least a token
effort at costuming; this includes no printed tee-shirts,
no white sneakers or blue jeans. Avoid labels, zippers,
and anything that looks overly modern. Your costume
need not be elaborate, but you should at least make an
attempt at one for your first event. A large square piece
of fabric with a hole cut for the head works well as a
first event tabard for a bare minimum. During your
first event you will not be required to wear an Armor
Rep, but must have one for the second event you attend, if you wish to wear armor. In addition to going
to an Event to see costuming, there are many resources
available online on our Website and Forums you can
get ideas or buy pieces from.
Acquiring Weapons
Boffer weapons are relatively easy to make, though
most people shy away from this practice and contact
someone that know that is proficient in making them,
and has the materials and experience already. If you are
interested in making your own, there are guides available on our Website. If not there are also suppliers for
weapons online or at Events.
Armor Check
Armor must also be inspected upon character creation in order to rate how many points it is worth. Safety is still a consideration in armor and no armor
should have ridged spikes or other dangerous additions. Also keep in mind other dangers when wearing
armor. Dont wear armor that is too heavy for you and
be sure to wear lighter or less armor during very hot
events or to forgo wearing metallic armor during an
electrical storm etc... For more information on how
armor is rated, check out Chapter 6: Items.
NPC Costume
Wear something neutral, sweats are good. No labels are recommended; turn them inside out if necessary. Darker colors are recommended. It is also recommended that you bring your own boffer weapons as
we may not be able to provide them for you. If you
have costuming that you like to wear or fits well, bring
it along as well, we can usually find you a role that you
can wear it, and it is always nice to have stuff in your
size reserved specifically for you, in case you want it.
Acquiring Armor
Armor is a little more difficult and costly to make,

so we recommend getting some advice before attempting to make any. Feel free to Email us if you have any
questions. Armor is typically made out of Leather,
Chain Links, or Plates. There is a strong emphasis in
Requiem on making your armor look great and real,
more so then actually having to drag around 50+
pounds of armor. Armor is rated on what it appears to
be, so plastic done up right to look like plate mail gives
Armor equal to plate, though there is a small bonus for
using authentic materials as well. There is a fairly extensive list of places to buy the materials and fully
crafted suits of armor on our Website.
Acquiring a Costume
To create a costume you dont have to be rich, but

just need a little time and some ingenuity. Thrift
stores, scrap leather, and hand-me-downs from other
players are how most people begin to collect costuming. Most great costumes are acquired slowly, piece by
piece to spread out the financial burden, though some
people tend to get it all at once for a new character. Of
course there are many reasonable prices sites online
too, that you can find on our Website.

Cabin Dcor
Common Terms
Cabin Dcor includes any cabin decorations or

props used to give your building an In Game feel.
These include rugs, curtains, tapestries and banners,
etc. Honorable mentions and awards will be made for
well decorated cabins. Again, it need not be fancy or
expensive, but some effort into hiding things that are
blatantly modern is encouraged. In addition a Dream
Catcher phys-rep is needed to require supervision to
steal items from a Cabin, so you may want one.
LARPing, like anything else, has its own lingo

which can be fairly confusing to an outsider at first.
Feel free to use the Glossary or Index to look anything
up as you are reading this book. In addition, if you are
reading this online, any word that is underlined in
blue is a hyperlink to another spot in the rulebook that
has the definition. Some common definitions you will
need to know are below as well:
Fire Hazards
Out of Game is described as anything that happens in the real world, between Events, or anything
that does not relate to the actual Characters in the
game and their relations. Something that happens to
you the Player is out of game. Anything that happens
to your character is not. For instance your character
may despise someone In Game, but Out of Game you
could still be great friends with them. Using out of
game knowledge in game is cheating. Out of Game is
often abbreviated OOG.
Out of Game
Please be aware of any fire hazards your cabin decorations may cause. If heating is provided keep all
fabric and flammable items away from the heat source.
Candles, open flames, space heaters and electric blankets are not allowed except with the express permission
of the Game Owner.
Forges, Laboratories and Libraries

Forge, Laboratory and Library reps are specifically
required in cabins for certain skills. There is no set
exact required rep needed, but each should be set up
on a table or corner and be obvious what it is. A library should have books, a laboratory should have bottles or vials, and a forge should have tools and an anvil.
In Game
This refers to your Character, and everything that

happens during the event, to all characters in the world
around them. Your character might be hurt, bleeding,
or even die, but you as a player are still OK. Another
instance is that in game you might be unconscious, so
your character cannot hear what is going on around
him, even if out of game, you the player hear it just
fine. In Game is often abbreviated IG.
Pathways and Cleanliness
One of the most important aspects of cabin dcor

is to keep your cabin clean and the pathways clear.
Remember that cabins can never have their doors
physically locked, or physically blocked by a bed or
such. All Cabin Notes should be on the Outside of
the Cabin near the door as well.
Player Character
This refers to someone that has paid for an Event,
and has made a character in the Game World. Often
abbreviated PC, these are fellow townsfolk and adventurers. Generally everyone is on the same side and
plays the good guys but exceptions do exist! Remember that players can be a variety of good (or evil) races,
and personalities. When someone signs up as a PC for
an event, they get to play the same character the entire
event.
Food Containers
A perfectly decorated cabin can be ruined by modern food containers and wrappers. Try to have mugs
and drink covers, and other containers or other ways
of hiding blatantly out of period items.
Acquiring Decor
Almost all places that sell costuming have some

sort of Dcor available as well, but in addition, home
stores can have useful items. Check the resource links
on our Website or Forums for more details.
Non-Player Character
The opposite of a PC is an NPC, or non-player
character. These are people that have been assigned a
role by a member of Plot, and generally do not pick
13

their abilities, race, or motivation. These can be allies,
enemies, or neutral parties in the world, but they generally exist for a reason or to advance a plotline. When
someone signs up to NPC, they get to play many different characters and monsters, and are rarely out as
one role for too long. NPCing is a form of Volunteering, and can get you credit towards playing at a later
date, or towards other LARPs we have NPC exchange
policies with.
Plot
Plot refers to the people that actually run the

game. They make the decisions, mediate disputes, run
Adventures and plotlines, give stats to NPCs and everything else needed for each Event. Although they
may be playing a role, if a Plot members generally can
be approached subtly or with Request Sheets for information. Between Events, they are always available
to answer questions via the Forums or Email as well.
Please do not argue with any decision a Plot member
makes, if you have an issue with one of them, contact
the Game Owner.
Physical Representation
Character Points
This refers to the actual object in question, as opposed to the tag, or what it is supposed to be. Commonly abbreviated phys-rep, this can be a confusing
concept at first. A boffer that looks sort of like a sword
might be the phys-rep for your characters long sword.
Rope lights around a doorway might phys-rep a portal
that character is trying to get through, etc Everything in game has a phys-rep, though not everything
needs a tag to go along with it.
These are what everyone is after. Abbreviated CP

(Dont get this confused with PC) character points
represent points that you may use to learn new skills,
train new headers, or advance your attributes. Every
event that you attend, and extra work you do (like
doing event write-ups and a character history) gains
you a certain amount of CP towards your character.
With additional CP, you progress and grow in power
in the game, thus these are highly coveted by the majority of the players.
Tag
A tag is a piece of paper given to you by an NPC

or a member of Plot signifying that you have the ability to use a specific item, or piece of treasure. Tags
come in many colors, shapes and sizes, though the
most common ones are Sticks, Half-Business Card,
and Business Card and Index Card tags. Attempting to
forge or counterfeit tags is a serious form of cheating
and could get you banned from Requiem. Some items
require that you have the tag and the phys-rep available to use the item, Some just require a phys-rep, while
others just require a tag. This may seem confusing at
first, but think of it like your drivers license (the tag)
and the car itself (the phys-rep).
Influence
Helping out the game above and beyond normal
grants Influence, which is a form of reward points.
These can be spent to add extra CP to your character,
assist in learning skills, gain extra treasure, and other
ways to gain benefits In Game. Additionally, Influence is transferrable, so you can use your Influence to
help your friends characters as well. See the Donations section for more information on how to earn
Influence, but the main two ways are for donating
items the game needs and volunteering your time to
help the game out.

Getting Involved
How to get Plot
Its often confusing was a new player trying to get

involved with the game more so wed like to include a
few tips. LARPing can be daunting, and there is a certain learning curve to LARPing and to a specific game.
Trying to overcome both of them at once can seem
challenging.
Its easy to look at some of the players in a game

and see them immersed in the storyline and see them
constantly busy and enjoying it. But how can you get
the same attention? What did they do that you didnt?
There are some simple steps to get Plot in Requiem
(and consequently in most LARPs!).
Resolving Questions
Do your Character History
First and foremost remember that we are here to

help. The vast majority of newer players often come
with someone to a game, so you can rely on them, or
Plot to help out. If you are confused, lost, or just need
someone to talk to about anything about the game,
you can also Email us through our website. During the
game itself, feel free to use Request Sheets, and the
Clarification effect. Generally if you have questions
during an event, try to get the players to answer them
first, and try to stay in game.
This is key; not only is a history required for some

races and concepts but its worth a fair amount of your
starting CP. A Character History allows Plot to tailor
the story to target your character or involve you in a
plot without indirectly challenging your pre-existing
ideas on your character origin. Hopefully we have included enough references in our world overview for
you to create a well thought out character history but
if you need additional info or have questions just
Email us.
Enjoyment
Do your Event Writeups
Sometimes new players get so wrapped up in attempting to learn everything at once that they forget
the main point of a LARP, to have fun! If you are not
having fun at an Event, it is important that you let us
know. Out of Game we cant read minds, we need
your input about anything to know what is going
wrong (or right!). Believe it or not, the majority of
players that are not having fun never let Plot know
that there is something wrong, until after the Event is
over, or sometimes not even then!
Yes, this means every event. Write-ups are worth

CP but more importantly it helps Plot to know what
you enjoyed and didnt enjoy at an event. Plot will
always read your write-up so tell us what youd like to
see more of. Let us know in your write-up what your
goals are and how you intend to move toward accomplishing them. If you want more plot attention during
events, let us know! Communication is extremely important between Plot and the PCs, and we will do our
best to maintain an open channel, so that you as a
player can always feel that your input is being heard.
Communicate
Interact with Everyone
Whether it be In Game through letters, messages

and such, or Out of Game through emails or phone
calls, communication is the key to involvement. If no
one knows who you are, and cannot reach you between events, they are less likely to remember you, or
to come to you in game when a problem that you
might specialize in dealing with arising. Keep active
watch on the Forums, email other players or Plot between events, and get yourself involved. If in game you
are looking for information about something, dont be
shy to write an in game letter to someone your character knows. Youd be surprised how effective that can
be sometimes, especially towards an NPC!
During the game, try to talk to other players and

any NPCs you find. Dont limit yourself to traveling
only with your own group. Many skills and abilities
will be needed in order to overcome difficult challenges and those skills are often something that your
immediate group wont have available to them. So
make friends, become well known and work towards
being a leader. The lone swordsman might be a cool
character concept but it only works in the stories because he is far more powerful than his opponents. Remember that in this world you are going to very often
be fighting odds you have little chance of overcoming
alone.

Using this
Rulebook
Overview of the
Chapters
The rulebook is big. Its long, and it can be daunting at first. We have done our best to organize it in the
simplest way we can, and to use language that is not
too technical. If you have an idea on how to make it
better, or a section that is confusing, feel free to let us
know, as we are always looking to improve upon it.
Chapter 1 - Introduction
You will have questions, it is inevitable. Always

feel free to get in touch with Plot or other players on
the Website, via Forums or Email. The rulebook is
merely one part of information available at your fingertips. Needless to say if you have a question someone
else likely has a similar question, so its good to ask!
This chapter is designed for people that are brand

new to LARPing or need a basic introduction about
the concepts of LARPs and Requiem in general. It is
the simplest and consequently the smallest chapter.
Anything you get stuck on here should be addressed,
because after you get your feet wet in this chapter, you
get to dive right in. If you are an experienced LARPer
feel free to skip this chapter, though we recommend
that you at least glance through the topics to see if
anything catches your eye. With this chapter, as with
any, if you need to ask questions, feel free on the Forums or through Email.
How it is Organized
Chapter 2 - Core Rules
Ask Questions
Each Chapter is attempted to contain one aspect

of the game. The majority of the rulebook is designed
that if you have never played before, everything is explained in as plain English as we can make it. We do
not recommend reading everything in one sitting!
Each chapter is intended to be read in order, and
builds on each other, but if you want to skip around, it
shouldnt be impossible to do as well. If you are having trouble with definitions, or would like the ability
to use the links in this rulebook, we recommend you
read it online.
This chapter is in a nutshell how to play the game.

Everyone that participates in a Requiem Event (PC
and NPC) should read through this chapter beforehand, or at the bare minimum the Quick and Dirty
version. This covers Health, all of the Effects and Defenses and everything else needed to play the game.
The Core Rules and the Character Creation are separated, so you do not need to learn both at once if you
do not wish to. Remember that you do not actually
ever need to know how an effect was generated; only
what the effect does.
What NOT to Do
Chapter 3 - Character
Dont try to sit down in one sitting and digest all

the information in this book, the night before an
Event. Even the most experienced LARPer will probably need a day or two to go over things, due to the
vast amount of information. Our philosophy has always been to try to cover our bases more so then to
omit things. The best way to read the rulebook is one
chapter at a time and then to give it time to let it digest. Then you can use it as reference to look something specific up. Ideally during the game the rules are
designed so there isnt as much of the rules that actually need to be memorized besides everything in the
Core Rules, and perhaps things specific to your own
character.
This chapter deals exclusively with building a

Player Character, and all the rules associated with
such. This includes Attributes the character will need,
and Skills to allow him to do things. Many people will
need assistance building a character, as it is more involved than some other systems. There are unique
parts of character creation here, so it is recommended
to read this first before attempting to choose your individual skills from the Skill Matrixes. This section
also includes a brief amount on each of the 30 different player Races so that you can get a feel for them. In
addition there are rules and hints on writing a Character History. More information is available about the
IG history and Races is available in the Game World
chapter, and in the Library section of the Website as
well, if you need more to make an informed decision.
16

the downfall of the world, information on major
Landmarks, Organizations and the Deities. This section also details how the library section of the Website
works, and information on the location of much more
in depth history and information. If you need more In
Game information, feel free to post on the Forums, or
Email us directly.
Chapter 4 - Matrixes
This chapter is a large amount of charts, which

detail all of the purchasable Skills and Recipes in the
game. These charts are split up into five subsections:
Races (a), Skills (b), Spells & Miscellaneous (c), Craft
Skills (d), and Craft Recipes (e). A brief summary or
short description of each skill, spell or recipe is listed
for easy reference. If this is your first time looking at
them they can be daunting, but we recommend reading through the Headers (categories of skills) first. The
concept here is to make no two characters the same,
and allow tons of different concepts to be both viable
and fun. A lot of time and effort was spent especially
on what are normally considered problem or unfun characters in other games. We hope that the
short descriptions are enough to make decisions upon,
and that you should not have to go read through the
Skill Descriptions unless absolutely necessary.
Chapter 8 - Skill Descriptions
This is by far the longest and most in depth part

of the rules, and is largely unnecessary unless you have
specific questions about a particular skill. Ideally the
game skills are designed to attempt to explain everything you need to know on one line on the Skill Matrix, but sometimes questions can occur that are covered more in depth in the description of the skill.
Skills are broken down into wide categories (Skills,
Spells, Recipes, etc) and then alphabetized for ease of
finding them. We do not recommend reading
through this entire chapter unless you have a lot of
time on your hands, picking and choosing individual
skills to read will help retention, and sanity.
Chapter 5 - Events
This chapter deals with everything involving the
Events you (and your character!) attend. This includes
everything before (Pre) and after (Post) the Event; including Pre-registration, Check In, Check Out, Event
Writeups, and everything else that does not involve
Character Creation. As everything during the event is
attempted to be handled in game, there are some basic
rules and guidelines here that are mostly common
sense and should be followed. If you have trouble with
any of the writing that we ask you to do as well, there
is information here to help.
Chapter 9 - Staff
This chapter covers everything from the reverse

side, if you choose to NPC your event. What is expected of you, what Monster Camp is, and staffcentric Event Writeup forms and such are all parts of
helping Staff an Event. It also goes over exchange policies with other LARPs and all the etiquette that goes
into what we expect from our NPCs. In addition it
covers the benefits of NPCing, donations of props and
time, and other Out of Game rewards, like Influence
and Medallions, that a player can receive. Most of this
chapter can be skipped if you plan on playing the
game as a PC.
Chapter 6 - Items
This chapter deals with most of the things that
you will encounter In Game, and what each of them
does. This also covers some Out of Game items that
you will find, and how they limit or allow your characters involvement in different ways. Crafting Items are
also gone over in depth here, as well as all the Components, Reagents and Treasure that exists in Requiem.
In addition, there are rules for creating Weapons and
Armor, and how each of these is checked for safety and
point values.
Index and Glossary

While not really a chapter, these can be helpful
especially as a reference or a new player to look something specific up, or get the definition of a term, In
Game or Out of Game. The Glossary, like the rest of
the Rulebook, is a living document and relies on input
from players and readers like you to expand. This can
be useful especially if you are not viewing this document online and thus are unable to directly use the
links and bookmarks available.
Chapter 7 - Game World
This chapter has a brief amount of history, to get

yourself acquainted with the world of Nexus. This is
kept general, and short to avoid overwhelming anyone
at first. There is a recent history of events leading to
17
RequieM Chapter 2 Core Rules
Chapter 2:
Core Rules
There isnt anyone above the rules. One might think
that in my position, that would not be the case. They
would be wrong. Like men have higher laws to follow
than the animals of the land, Deities have higher laws
to adhere to than mortals. Free will is a glorious gift,
use it wisely.

RequieM Chapter 2=Core Rules
Rules of Etiquette
them with a boffer weapon but could not actually

touch them. To use any skill that requires touching
someone, you must use a packet to touch them and
state the effect, unless you specifically have permission
beforehand.
Honor System
This game is played under the honor system,
which allows for players to decide whether they were
hit with an attack, manage their own Health, and in
general play nice with each other. If people fail to
abide by this system, the game will fall apart. If you
use an item, please turn it in at a Tag Turn-in Container at your earliest convenience. Please do not cheat:
not turning in tags, not counting your hits, or using
more abilities then you actually have are all versions of
cheating. Please play honestly, and understand that
your reputation in a game as being honest is very important. If Plot receives complaints about anyone violating this honor system, they may speak to the player, impose greater restrictions, or even ask them to
leave the game. Please keep in mind there are many
different skills and abilities in the game, and just because someone generates something that you do not
know how they did it, it does not mean they are cheating. We hold our own plot members and NPCs to a
high standard, and expect that all players do the same.
Carrying Someone
Since carrying someone would violate the No

Physical Combat rule, there are special ways of doing
this in game. You clearly state to the person that you
are carrying them. If you have the ability to run with a
body you may state such to the person, but the both of
you may only run as fast as the slowest person. Without a skill or ability to run with someone, you are considered under the effect of a Slow while carrying anyone and you may only carry one person at a time unless you specifically have an ability that says otherwise.
If the person gives you permission you may actually
carry them, but only if given permission ahead of time.
Also, if a player holds out their arm with his elbow
bent, and arm facing down, you may interlock your
arm with theirs to signify dragging someone. You must
have one free hand to be able to carry someone.
Searching Someone
Complaints
Since searching someone would violate the No

Physical Combat rule, there are special ways of doing
this in game. You clearly state to the person that you
are searching them. They have a couple options at this
point. They can say Go ahead in which you may
physically search them, they may request that you describe your search, in which you must be more specific, or they may simply hand you all the items that they
have on them. If an item is hidden on a player, it must
actually be hidden in the place, so if you wish to carry
your extra silver in your hat, it must actually be there.
Items can never be hidden in places that would make
someone uncomfortable to search. A described search
should never take more than a couple of minutes to
complete, and if someone has been searching you for 5
minutes they are considered to have found everything
that they would have normally found. Some skills allow for players or NPCs not to have to give up any or
all of their items with a normal search, and some
NPCs do not have treasure that can be found with
searching, it must be harvested. Either way, just because a person does not give you everything on them,
do not assume that they are cheating.
If you have a problem with another Player Character or NPC, or believe someone is cheating, do not
argue with them. You may state politely, and in game
something to the effect of what you believe is wrong,
but if the person ignores you, go find a Plot member
or NPC, and do not continue or escalate the issue.
The infraction will be dealt with, and you do not need
to get further involved. If possible, try to learn the
name of the player or NPC, which will make things
easier. If the issue is not pressing, or does not require
immediate attention, feel free to include it in your
Event Writeup instead of pursuing it right there.
No Physical Contact
There is no physical contact allowed in Requiem,
especially without prior permission. This includes
combat and non-combat situations. The only contact
between players, especially in combat should be between safety approved boffer weapons and safety approved spell packets. If at any point during a combat
you can reach out and touch someone that is considering crowding, and is against the rules as well. You
must back up to a safe distance where you could strike
19

tween events, at a restaurant with your friends, etc)
is to be held in the same manner, unless both parties
specifically agree beforehand that they are communicating IG. Using out of game knowledge or information your character wouldnt actually know in game is
a severe form of cheating, called Meta-gaming. Abuse
of this rule is cheating and will be dealt with, with anything up to and including being asked to leave the
game.
Complete Game Immersion
Simply said, there is no Out of Game in Requiem

during the events. If you wish to be participating at
the Event, you must be In Game, and react as such.
Characters will react to out of game comments in
game. You may be accused of being possessed or have
to deal with specific in game consequences of breaking
character. Unless a specific skill states otherwise, you
cannot do something with a counted action, unless
you actually just do it. Examples of this are disarming
a trap or running away. In addition, you may not do
anything actually dangerous or destructive, for example, you may not break down a door or climb a tree in
actuality or say that you are doing it. Every problem
presented to you will have ways of solving it without
resorting to actions such as those. There are mechanics
in the game that may alter what can affect you, such as
turning you into a spirit or letting you fly, but there is
nothing that actually hides or removes you from where
you are. If you see something, you always actually see
it, or hear something you actually hear it. The exception to this is the Perception Rule below.
Contraband Items
There are just some items and actions that should

not be brought or done on LARP campsite ever, or
without explicit Plot approval. Violations of these rules
can lead to expulsion of the game on the first offense.
It really is that serious. No lit candles, fires, grills or
anything with open flame or severe heat is allowed
without the Game Owners permission. No real weapons are allowed. These include real guns, real swords,
and real knives that are longer than 3 inches and not
used as a tool. No alcohol or recreational drugs are
allowed, nor is it allowed to be under the influence of
such while at the event. If you have prescription medication and must bring it, make sure you inform a
member of Plot of such.
Late Arrivals
Arriving to an Event late can be a tricky thing.
You should avoid it all costs, but if you have to, there
are few rules that should be followed. First, you
should never drive a vehicle onto a site that is currently
In Game, and should dress in some in period clothing,
like a cloak to walk on site. NPCs can walk as a Spirit
to Monster Camp; players should walk to their designated cabin, and fill out a Request Sheet to Check In.
Any clearly non-period items (food containers / coolers
/ modern labels) should be covered in cloth or burlap.
This includes coming back to site with food, like pizza.
Smoking
Smoking is allowed at events, but only in designated areas, and can be disallowed if people do not
police their own butts. While in the smoking area, you
are still considered in game, and are still expected to
react to anything as such, including being attacked. If
you are attacked you are still are responsible for the
safe disposal of the cigarettes. An empty bin will be
provided for used cigarettes, and it is up to all those
that smoke to make sure the area is kept clean.
Perception Rule
Harassment
While many In Game effects may render you Unconscious or otherwise unable to perceive the world
around you; you do not actually have to close your
eyes for safety reasons. If you are dead on the floor,
you may watch out for players or NPCs that might
step on you and even warn them with a Caution if
they might harm you or themselves, but any information you hear or see, cannot be used In Game. Examples of this are recognizing who is searching you, overhearing conversations or seeing someone hide something. In addition, anything told to you Offboard (be-
While sometimes characters within In Game situations may get tense or hateful, things should never be
taken out of game. Insults, derogatory slurs, and yelling Out of Game is not tolerated. If another player or
NPC is making you uncomfortable, try to let them
know in an In Game way. If this does not work, report
it to a member of Plot or an NPC. If it is not immediately pressing put it in your Event Writeup. If at all
possible try to learn the persons name, which is helpful for Plot.

Health
Body Points
A character's Vitality is the relative condition of

their body. The more vitality you possess the more
punishment you can take. This is represented by body
points. As you take damage your body points are reduced. Body points are fully restored at the beginning
of each Event and may be restored during the event
through Healing and other means. Your body point
total is generally your number of Vitality your character possesses, plus any modifications from specific
skills (like Fortitude) or Living Well. In addition your
body points can be modified temporarily by Bonus
Vitality. When body points are lost, this does not
lower your vitality, or your maximum body.
Hit Based System

Requiem uses a hit based system to represent your
characters general health. That means a character has a
specific number of hit points, which are lowered when
Damage or Effects reduce them. Every hit to any legal
location on your body does the same amount of damage, regardless of where it lands. Some strikes must be
done to a limb or the torso, but it is a requirement in
the Effect or Skill. Any strike that does not have a specific call that goes along with it does 1 point of Uncalled Damage. Generally, a characters total Health is
calculated by adding their Armor and Body Points
together. Certain effects and low numbers of body
points also adversely affect your Character.
Bonus Vitality
Some skills, abilities or effects may generate bonus
vitality. These body points are lost after any Armor or
Bonus Armor is lost, but before your normal Body
Points are lost. Bonus vitality does not stack with other
forms of bonus vitality, unless specifically stated that
they do. Bonus vitality can be Healed, but is considered different from normal body points. Generally
bonus vitality only lasts for the current Battle you are
in, and is lost at the end of that Battle. If different, it
will be stated in the skill or ability.
Armor Points
Armor points are a specific type of health that is
always lost first. It is generally based on the armor
Phys-Rep that you are wearing, and the skills you have
to wear it. Some armor does not require a phys-rep,
which is called Natural or dexterity armor. No forms
of regular, natural, or dexterity armor can stack unless
specifically stated that they do. In order to wear any
armor over 1 point, your character must possess a skill
to do such, such as Light Armor Proficiency, which
allows 2 Points of armor. Armor Points may be repaired to full, or refitted to a lesser amount with specific skills easier as well. Your total number of Armor is
generally your specific Armor Points (which is your
Armor Proficiency provided you have the phys-rep on)
plus any enhancements received by racials, consumable, or skills. More information on Armor Rating can
be found in the Items chapter.
Defenseless
You are considered defenseless if you do not have

any weapons or packets in either hand, or clearly visible on your person. Some skills can only be used on
defenseless targets. These are things that someone
might be able to a hostage or someone that isnt tied
up (which is considered Helpless). While defenseless
you cannot be Searched or affected by a Killing Blow,
and suffer no other adverse conditions.
Bonus Armor
1 Body Point
Some skills, abilities or effects may generate bonus

armor. This armor is always lost first, and generally
cannot be recovered as easily as normal armor. Bonus
armor does not stack with other forms of bonus armor,
unless specifically stated that they do. Bonus armor
can be repaired during the duration it is active for, but
is considered different from normal Armor. All bonus
armor only lasts for the current Battle you are in, and
is lost at the end of that battle, unless specifically stated
otherwise in the skill or ability.
When a player is reduced to one body point they

are automatically affected by a Permanent Weakness
and Slow, which is removed when the player is healed
above one body point. This effect is to represent that
the player is too injured to move quickly or attack with
their full strength. While at one body, you should role
play being extremely weak or injured. Players with a
maximum of 1 Body are always under a Permanent
Enfeeble and Slow effect.
21

Incapacitated
Bleeding Out
When you are dropped to Called Damage (even to

exactly 0), or are reduced to 1 Body Points in any
way, you are bleeding out. When bleeding out you are
considered Unconscious, and cannot perceive the
world around you. Unless the character receives a Stabilize effect or Healing within 60 seconds they will
take a Death effect.
0 Body Points
When dropped to 0 Body Points with Uncalled
Damage, you fall to the ground, you are barely conscious, and can only whisper and drag yourself around
by your arms only. If you are hit in the process of falling, unless it is Called Damage, you are still at 0; if
you are dropped to 0 or lower with Called Damage of
any kind anywhere, you instantly are brought to -1
and Bleeding Out. At any point while at 0 body
points, you take uncalled damage to a limb, that limb
is now affected by Maim and if you take uncalled
damage to your torso, you will be reduced to 1 and
Bleeding Out. While you are at 0 Body Points you are
affected by a Permanent Fatigue and are also considered Helpless. The fatigue is removed when you are
no longer at 0 Body Points. You may use potions and
items that do not require a skill to use (IE you may not
use scrolls or weapons) but you must role play being
very feeble. After 5 minutes of being at 0 hit points,
you will return to 1 Body Point.
Dead
If you are Bleeding Out for more than 1 minute,
take a Killing Blow, or take a Death effect then you are
dead. Being dead removes any effect on you that is not
Empowered, and ends any durational skills or abilities.
All Inflict and Imbue effects are considered to be empowered unless specifically stated that they are not.
When dead you are considered Unconscious, and gain
the Dead trait, while losing the Living trait. Normal
Healing will not work on you while Dead, the only
effects that will is anything to Dead or a Cure Death
effect. Once you are dead for 5 minutes your spirit is
too weak to stay in your body. You must drop all in
game possessions, rise as a Spirit and slowly walk to
Deaths Realm.
Helpless
While you are affected by Stun, Paralyze, Bind, 0
Body Points or any other effect that renders you helpless you are extremely susceptible to incoming attacks.
In addition, you may not use any skills or abilities unless they are Passive and specifically state that they can
be used while helpless. Anyone can Killing Blow you,
Search you, or use other abilities/skills that require a
helpless target. While helpless you cannot resist the
ability for anyone to Touch Cast anything upon you.
Killing Blow
Killing Blows are specific Counted Actions that

can reduce someone to Dead. Any character, regardless
of skill can perform a normal Killing Blow on with a 3
second counted action, with any weapon regardless of
their skill. Without any special skills, you may not killing blow someone without a weapon. Killing blows
must be done on Helpless individuals. If an individual
is struggling but not helpless you must render him
helpless first. You cannot begin a Killing Blow on
someone until their body comes to a complete rest on
the ground. To Killing Blow, you place a boffer weapon to the torso of the person, and state Begin Killing
Blow, Killing Blow 1, Killing Blow 2, Killing Blow 3,
Death. Each statement of a counted action should take
approximately one second. The counted part does not
need to be out loud, but Begin Killing Blow Death
at the minimum must be stated. If any point before
the effect Death is stated, if you or your weapon is
struck with any uncalled or called effect then the Killing Blow was interrupted. Some skills allow you to
modify Killing Blows, such as shortening the duration,
or increasing the effect.
Unconscious
Many effects leave your character in a state where
they cannot perceive the world around them. These
include Bleeding Out, Stun, being Dead and others.
While unconscious, you must collapse in a heap, and
cannot move unless you are carried. You are always
considered to be helpless while unconscious. If at any
time you are dropped while being carried you will collapse to the ground again. If you are in an unsafe or
unpleasant area, you may choose to shift your character a couple feet in either direction or take a couple
faltering steps before falling to find a safe spot. You do
not have to close your eyes for safety reasons, see the

Effects
Acknowledgement Rule
When you are struck with any Effect, including

Uncalled Damage, you must role-play that the effect
or damage struck you somehow. You can wince, gasp,
cry out, or role-play pain, but it must be clear that the
effect struck you. Even if you normally could not
speak or were Incapacitated, you must still follow this
rule with a grunt, wince or spasm. Note that in Requiem saying Got it or Taken is unacceptable, and
detracts from the atmosphere of the game. Keep in
mind that a lot of skills that a person has are not used
until someone role-plays taking the effect. This means
it is always in your best interest to accurately convey
that you have taken an effect.
Verbal Calls
Every effect in the game has a verbal call that signifies the specific effect. It usually goes something like
<Effect> by <Trait>. Some Examples might be 5
Damage by Magic, Death by Poison. These calls must
be stated to generate an effect, but are Out of Game.
You may always state the verbal call for an effect even
if you are Silenced, Stunned, Unconscious or Dead.
Likewise, hearing a verbal call means you know what
just happened. If you hear a call, and understood it,
you know what effect and trait was used. Verbal calls
need to be stated in a clear voice, easily loud enough
for whoever is the target. If the target is yourself, you
still must state a verbal call in a normal tone of voice.
Prefixes and Suffixes

Effects can have modifiers on them, in the beginning (Prefix) or at the end (Suffix) that sometime
change the effect. Examples of this would be all consumables have the Prefix Activate and the by Supremacy Suffix is a special trait that cannot be Reduced
or No Effect to. Be aware of these, as they can greatly change, worsen or lessen an effect. Effect modifiers
are gone over in detail later in this chapter.
Traits
Every effect call has a corresponding trait that goes
with it. This flavors the effect towards a specific direction, and allows other specific skills to be used against
it. All weapon blows and packets without a specific
trait are assumed to be by Physical. Certain skills can
only be used against specific traits. If you have the ability to Resist Magic then you may only use it on an
effect or damage (which is just another effect) with the
Magic Trait. If a Magus shoots a Fireball (5 Damage
by Fire) at you, Resist Magic would not help you.
Player Traits
In addition, all characters have traits as well, that

can be used or targeted with specific Effects. Most
Player Characters except Undead or Constructs have
the Living trait, and all player characters have the
Town trait. Every Header you possess is a trait you
have as well. These include Primary and Secondary
Racial Headers, as well as Skill Headers. In addition,
your total amount of CP you have comes with a trait
as well. 1-100 total CP is Novice, 101-200 CP is
Seasoned, and 201+ CP is Experienced. Examples
of this would be a 30 CP Dark Elf Assassin has the
following traits at a minimum: Living, Town, Novice,
Elf, Dark Elf, Rogue, Blade and Assassin. This matters when an effect is to <Trait>. With the previous
example a Death to Elf would affect the character
but a Voice Attack 10 Damage to Undead would
not.
23

Durations
Standard Effects
All effects have a standard duration, except when

an Extend, Permanent, or Quicken Prefix is used.
These durations are almost always 5 minutes or less
and fall into the following categories:
These make up the bread and butter of the game.

The vast majority of all game play is made up of the
following standard effects. At the bare minimum,
these effects should be reviewed, as many of them are
often liable to come up during game play normally.
Instant
Incants and RP time
This effect occurs instantly, and does not have a

duration.
While some Skills and Spells require specific RP

time or Incants to use them, those will always be before an effect, and are just for flavor. You do not need
to pay attention to any of the incant of a spell until it
comes to the actual Verbal Call. For instance, if a
player recites a scroll, with the incant With this Mystic Scroll I embrace you in Corruptions Dark Grasp
Activate Root by Disease, you only need to know that
you took a Root Effect, with the Disease Trait.
10 Seconds
This effect lasts for 10 seconds. This should be

counted out slowly, as it is easy to shorten this duration accidently.
Unconscious
This effect ends when you are incapacitated in

some way where you cannot perceive your surroundings or 5 minutes passes, whichever comes first.
Extra Wording
Some effects require extra words to specify there

exact purpose. These are placed at the top of the Effect description. Words with square brackets ([])
around them are optional extra wording, and angled
brackets (<>) are required. The exact meaning of the
extra wordings are always covered in an effects description.
Line of Sight
This effect ends when out of Line of Sight of the

caster for 10 seconds or 5 minutes passes, whichever
comes first. Line of Sight is defined as being able to see
the caster, and he is not incapacitated or helpless.
5 Minutes
This effect lasts for 5 minutes. Feel free to use a
watch subtly.
Beneficial Effects
Some effects are helpful and not harmful. These

effects are not removed with the Cure effect, and can
just be removed at will. For instance, if a character is
affected by a Carrier Magic effect, at any point they
can choose to end it. All beneficial effects say so in
their description.
Battle
This effect lasts for the current Battle you are in.
Rest
This effect ends when you spend 5 minutes resting, not involved in combat. Any combat action, such
as running/dodging/fighting will reset this count.
Special Cases
While every effort has gone into standardizing and
simplifying everything, sometimes there are going to
be cases where Plot needs to have a specific change or
effect for an Event. Anytime this is done, it will be
gone over in Opening Ceremonies, and posted previously on the Forums. While it should be a rare occasion, as we have tried to cover everything we can think
of, invariably there is something we have not thought
of.
Refresh
This effect ends when you use an Endurance to

Refresh your attributes.
Special
These effects end when a specific circumstance is
met or a specific time is has passed, which is stated on
the specific effect. Any Effect with special duration will
always explain it more thoroughly.

such creatures, and a creature may decide it has been
provoked too much for a calm to work. This effect will
always fail on creatures already engaged in combat.
Usually this skill will only work on a specific type of
creature or a specific trait, such as animals, or elementals. This effect will never work on Player Characters,
or intelligent and sentient NPCs.
Duration: Line of Sight
Agony
The character affected must role-play 10 seconds

of intense pain. You must cry or call louder than the
Acknowledgement Rule normally requires, but may
quiet to whimpers or winces for the rest of the duration if you wish. While affected by agony, characters
may still block with weapons, but may not attack. Also, characters affected may not use any other skills or
spells except Defenses (Evade, Parry, etc) The defenses
of Volley and Aura may not be used while under the
effect of Agony as they are also attacks. Note that effects like Disengage or Knockback are not defenses
and may not be used while affected by agony.
Duration: 10 seconds
Carrier
Extra Wording: [to] <Trait>
This effect allows the character to generate all
Weapon and Packet Delivered Effects for the Battle by
the specific Trait or in some circumstances to a specific
trait. If the Carrier includes the word To before the
trait, you may only use the attack to the trait, if not
then you may only use the attack by the trait. This
includes Called Damage and all other called effects.
The character does not have to use the trait, or may
choose to use another trait if they have the skill or ability to do so. Usually the most common traits for this
ability are by Magic, Holy, Fire, Earth, Air and Water,
but others may exist. The traits Spirit and Flying are
generally almost always used as a To Trait allowing
the character to affect people that normally would not
be able to. This is a beneficial effect.
Duration: Battle
Berserk
This effect will cause the character to become
enraged and see everyone as an enemy. The character
affected will immediately attack the nearest target to
them. This effect does not require the character expend any skills unless they specifically desire, but they
must immediately attempt to attack the nearest target
to you.
Duration: Unconscious
Bind
Extra Wording: [Arm/Legs]

Without any other descriptor, this effect will trap
both the arms of the character to their sides and their
legs together. If just arms or legs are stated in the call,
it only affects the specific area in question. Once affected by a normal Bind a character is considered to be
Helpless. Bind arms means they cannot use their arms,
any items in them, or any skills that use them. Bind
Legs means the character cannot move from the spot
they are in, including with hopping. When a characters hands or feet are manacled or tied with rope, they
are considered under a Permanent Bind arms or legs
effect while the manacles are in place. While bound,
the character may not use any skill that requires the
use of arms and/or feet except any skill that specifically
says you can, i.e. Pick locks.
Command
The character must immediately follow the next

direction that the caster gives him. The command
must be followed to the best of the targets ability, and
until it is completed the target can take no other action. The directions are limited to certain phrases, and
the caster must state one and only one phrase from the
following:
Tell the truth: The target must answer any
yes/no question truthfully.
Attack <person/group>: The target must attack
the person(s) stated.
Defend <person/group>: The target must protect the person(s) stated.
Give <person> <item(s)>: The target must peacefully give up item(s) stated.
Do <Task>: The target must attempt to do the
non-combat task in question.
Flee: The target must attempt to flee the area.
Duration: Unconscious
Calm
This effect will attempt to sooth or pacify a creature. While affected by Calm, a creature will not be
aggressive unless provoked. This will not work on all
26
RequieM Chapter 2 = Core Rules

dition, and must be affected by a Repair, which generally requires a skill or ability. If Armor is destroyed,
then it is automatically breached, and Weapons cannot
be used to block or strike with. Any claw or natural
weapon (denoted by a red boffer) that is affected by
Destroy is instead affected by a Maim. Certain creatures, such as Clockworks, take addition damage from
destroy effects.
Duration: Instant
Cure
Extra Wording: [All] / <Effect>

This effect will remove a pre-existing effect on a
character. Cure will only target effects, and not traits.
With multiple effects affecting a character, they may
choose which one the cure removes. For example, with
a leg and arm both affected by Maim, and the character is hit with a Cure Maim they may choose which
one is fixed. Broader, a Cure All <Effect> will remove
all of a specific effect. Broader still, a Cure All will
remove all effects except Death. No Cure effect will
remove death unless specifically stated in the call. A
Cure Death will return a character back to 1 Body
Point, and any other cure does not Heal a character in
addition to curing them. A character may use the cure
effect on themselves, but only if they are not helpless,
and have a free hand to do so. Cure will not work on
effects with an instant duration, or on any beneficial
effect, but cure itself is a beneficial effect.
Duration: Instant
Diagnose
Extra Wording: <Trait/Effect>
This effect is used to determine specific yes or no
questions about a character. In general this is usually
done via Touch Cast, but there are exceptions. Each
specific Diagnose skill states what questions it may be
used with. When hit with a successful diagnose effect,
a character must respond to it truthfully, unless they
possess a specific skill that allows them to alter their
answers. All answers to Diagnose must be a yes or no
response, which is Out of Game, with the exception of
diagnose damage, which if optionally desired, the target may state a number of Body Points they are down.
This is done to prevent excessive questions and anyone
may choose not to answer with a number.
Duration: Instant
Death
This effect kills a character outright, and puts

them to the Dead status. This can be generated by a
Killing Blow, by powerful skills or abilities, or environmental hazards or traps. This bypasses any amount
of Health the character has left, breaches their Armor,
and removes all Bonus Armor and Bonus Vitality.
Some skills can Reduce this effect, but most of them
involve still collapsing to Helpless. After 5 minutes of
being dead, a character must drop all in game tags, and
their spirit will rise and head to Deaths Realm.
Duration: Instant
Disarm
Extra Wording: <Item/Hand/Shield>
This effect will cause a character to drop a specific
item, or all items in a specific hand. If it is generated
with a Melee attack, it will effect whatever weapon was
struck. Ranged and packet attacks may specify an item,
or everything in a specific hand. When effected by a
disarm, you must immediately drop the item in question, and cannot pick it up again for 5 seconds or until
it stops moving, whichever takes longer. If you are carrying fragile props (including guns, traps, or nonboffer items) you may choose to place them on the
ground, but cannot retrieve them for 10 seconds. This
effect will not work on shields unless the specific verbal call Disarm Shield is used. Skills that let disarm
shields clearly state they can or must use it on a Shield
and you cannot target a shield with disarm unless your
ability specifically states that you can.
Duration: Special
(Until the weapon stops moving on the ground or 5
seconds passes, whichever is longer.)
Destroy
Extra Wording: [All] / <Item>

This effect targets an item, or all items that a character carries. If the effect is Destroy All then all items
are destroyed. This will only target Weapons, Armor,
and any tagged item that a character has on his person.
Clothing and items without tags, such as jewelry, belt
pouches, etc, cannot be affected. If this effect is generated by a Melee attack and a specific Item was not specified, then it affects whatever item that was struck.
Ranged and packets attacks that do not specify an
item, allow the character to choose, but it must be
something in their hands. When an item is successfully
affected by a Destroy, it is unusable in its current con-
27

Disengage
Dominate
This effect moves a person or multiple people

away from a character. The effect does not need to
land a legal blow; the character merely needs to plant
both their feet, and state the effect and gesture with
their weapon or hands. Anyone gestured to, including
allies needs to back away from the character, at least 10
feet. While moving, the targets should choose a direct
and safe path, but cannot attack anyone by any means,
including ranged attacks, and is considered under the
effects of Agony without the pain. The general rule of
thumb is that a person must back up at least until their
weapons cannot possibly touch the characters weapons. The effect ends when the person moves the full
distance back. If a target is Planted, in a corner, or
otherwise unable to back up easily, they may go to one
knee, and not attack the character for a full 10
seconds. Characters cannot use this ability to press
someone back and then move forward. While people
are moving away from them, the character cannot advance towards them, but may attempt to flee or move
to another area not occupied.
Duration: Special
(Until target is at least 10 feet away and cannot strike
characters weapon, or 10 seconds if they go to a knee.)
This effect will put the character affected in complete control of the person that generated the effect.
The character cannot attack or harm the person in any
way, and must attempt to follow any and all commands given by the person, even if they clearly involve
the character dying. The person can issue as many or
little commands as he wishes, and while under this
effect the character may call No Effect to any Command effect which would directly contradict any of the
persons commands. Like with Command, any commands to tell the truth may only be used with yes or
no questions. Unlike Command, this effect lasts a full
5 minutes or until Cuted, even if the character is rendered unconscious.
Duration: 5 minutes
Drain
Extra Wording: [ #/All] <Attribute/Skill>
This effect removes a specific skill, header, or an
attribute point from a character. In the case of Headers, the character loses all skills under that header,
and/or any sub-headers. Stamina, Stealth, Inspiration,
Arcane, Zeal and Power are considered attributes for
this effect, and not skills. With the case of skills, you
temporary lose the use of the skill, as if you did not
possess it. With the case of draining attribute points,
you lose a temporary point or points based on the call.
For example if you had 5 strength, and 3 strength
points left and were hit with Drain Strength you
would still have 5 strength, but only 2 remaining
strength points. In the same example, Drain All
Strength would remove all of your strength points.
You cannot go into negative point pools, and may call
No Effect or Reduced to any Drain effect that
would remove you below 0 points of an attribute. Like
Restore, if no number is specified, the default number
is 1. The All modifier is used slightly differently with
all attributes and no Drain effect will remove your Endurance unless specifically stated Endurance in the
call. For example Drain 3 Endurance would remove 3
up to Endurance Points, but Drain All Attributes
would remove all attributes except Endurance that the
character had. Broader still, Drain All would remove
all skills and attributes (again, except Endurance) until
the character Endurance Refreshed.
Duration: Refresh
Dispel
Extra Wording: [All] <Trait>

This effect will remove a temporary Trait or effect
with a specific trait on a character. Dispel will only
target traits, and not effects. With multiple effects affecting a character, they may choose which one the
dispel removes. For example, with a Silence by Magic
and a Slow by Magic on a character, and they are
affected by a Dispel Magic they may choose which
one is fixed. Broader, a Dispel All <Trait> will remove all effects with a specific trait. Broader still, a
Dispel All will remove all effects except Death. If an
Imbue or Inflict gives you a temporary trait, Dispel
will remove it (if the trait is not Empowered, or the
dispel is) but dispel has no effect on permanent traits
your character always has, like his Race, or Living. A
character may use the Dispel effect on themselves, but
only if they are not helpless and have a free hand to do
so. If Dispel removes a negative effect then it is a beneficial effect.
Duration: Instant
28

a type of form, with a different gesture. While in a
Form, you must keep your head bowed and your arms
crossed in front of you or to both sides in a nonthreatening way, unless a skill specifically states differently. The Gesture for Flying is twirling a piece of
String, ribbon or a weapon clearly over your head.
While in form, you may not attack or use any other
skill unless it specifically states it may be used in form.
Generally different skills or spells that allow forms
have different allowances on moving and speaking. If
not specifically stated, you may move but not speak in
a Form. This is a beneficial effect.
Duration: 5 minutes
Enfeeble
This effect prevents a character from generating

any Uncalled Damage with weapons. The character
may still use Called Damage, and block and defend
with weapons normally. This has no effect on spells,
but has the same effect on ranged weapons.
Duration: Rest
Expose
Extra Wording: <Trait/All>

This effect causes anyone that has the specified
trait to cry out in pain in a loud voice if affected by it.
Broader, an Expose All will cause everyone to cry out.
Crying out to the effect is In Game, and may not be
done under a Silence effect, but must still be mimed.
Generally this effect is delivered with a Voice Attack,
but exceptions do exist. Targets affected must cry out
loud enough for the character to hear, and at the bare
minimum in a loud tone of voice. For example if a
character hears Voice Attack Expose Living from the
other side of a field and they possessed the Living
Trait, they must cry out loud enough that whoever
generated the Effect could hear the response.
Duration: Instant
Freeze
This effect requires the character to remain completely frozen in place in whatever position they were
in when they were struck by the effect. If a character is
completely uncomfortable they may shift slightly, but
it should be readily apparent that they are frozen in
place. Targets under the effect of freeze are immune to
all effects, including uncalled damage while they are
affected by Freeze, unless the effect would remove the
Freeze. The target may be moved, but not Searched, or
posed while affected.
Duration: 5 minutes
Fatigue
This effect causes the target to lose use of all game
skills that are not Passive, and in addition target may
not run until the effect ends. Weapons and items may
still be carried but cannot be used to even block attacks. Characters at 0 Body Points are always considered to be under a Permanent version of this effect
while at 0 Body.
Duration: Rest
Grant
Extra Wording: <Ability>
This effect allows a character the use of a skill or
ability for the Battle. Almost all Consumable Items
with a non-Instant duration are usually considered
Grant effects, which will be stated on the tag. A character may only have one Grant effect active at one
time, and if given another, must choose which one to
keep. Grant effects are generally Minor Use, but sometimes they can be continuous whole Battle abilities.
Some examples of Grant would be Grant Shield Magic giving the character affected a Shield Magic versus
the next attack that hits them, or Grant Maim by
Weapon giving them the ability to generate the call
Maim with a weapon blow. Any effect that is continuous must be used immediately. For example if a
character were affected by Grant Spirit Form they
must immediately go into Spirit Form, or lose the ability. At the end of the Battle, any unused Grant abilities
are lost. This is a beneficial effect.
Duration: Battle
Form
Extra Wording: <Trait>

This effect causes the character to either become
insubstantial or unaffected by normal attacks and
spells. You may call No Effect: <Trait> to any attack
that does not target the form you are in. For example
if you are in a Spirit Form you would call No Effect:
Spirit to anything that was not to Spirit in the call,
including uncalled damage. The exception to this is
Dispel <Trait> which if the trait matches the form,
will remove it, even without a to <Trait> in the call.
The most common forms are Spirit, Earth and Shadow, but others do exist. In addition, Flying is merely
29

path, but cannot attack anyone by any means, including ranged attacks, and is considered under the effects
of Agony without the pain. The number given is the
minimum distance you must go, and the effect ends
when you move the full distance. This effect will always disrupt a planted Frenzy or other Planted actions,
ending it if the person is affected by Knockback. If the
person is in a corner, or otherwise unable to back up
the full length easily, they may go to one knee, and be
affected as per agony for a full 30 seconds. Characters
can use this ability to press someone back and then
move forward, unlike Disengage.
Duration: Special
(Until you move back the required amount, or 30
seconds if you go to a knee.)
Harvest
Extra Wording: <Type/All>

This effect will sometimes allow a character to
receive extra treasure from a NPC or Location. This
effect will never work on Players. The harvest effect
must be used while the NPC is helpless and a successful harvest generates a Killing Blow. Use of this effect
in a location will always be accompanied by a Yellow
Hex that will explain how it works. The types used for
harvesting are generally Elemental, Herbal, Magical,
Mystical, and Physical Components but others may
exist. Broader the word All can be used to receive all
components that an NPC has, if a skill specifically
states it allows it. If an NPC is worth nothing, has already been harvested or does not have the type of
component that the character specifies, then they will
reply You find nothing sometime during the
counted action or immediately after the effect is generated. An NPC that states Minion to a Harvest effect
has no treasure, and never will, but follows the Minion
rules, and has a cache of treasure located somewhere.
Duration: Instant
Maim
Extra Wording: [All] [Leg/Arm]
This effect causes the target to lose the use of a
single or multiple limbs. Weapon blows that do not
have a specific limb stated affect the limb that is
struck, while ranged and packet attacks without a limb
stated allow you to pick which limb becomes useless. A
specific limb can be targeted, such as Maim Left Arm
in which the character would lose use of that limb. If
an arm is affected by maim, a character must drop anything in the arm, and it hangs to their side limply and
cannot be used. If a leg is targeted, the character must
go to one knee, and can never hop around on one leg;
a character may attempt to crawl with other limbs that
are not maimed though. Broader, Maim All Arms
will maim both of your arms, and Maim All will
maim all of your limbs. To Cure a Maim, there must
be an individual Cure Maim for each limb affected,
even if they were all generated with the same effect.
Duration: Rest
Heal
Extra Wording: [#/All]

This effect will cause the target to gain back lost
Body Points. This effect may restore a numbered
amount of Damage taken, for example Heal 4 by Spirit. Without a number it is always assumed the number is one. Broader, Heal All, heals the target to full
Body Points. Heal cannot raise characters above their
maximum Body Points. Any Bonus Vitality that is
lost may also be restored with a Heal effect, but will
still go away when stated. This is a beneficial effect.
Duration: Instant
Knockback
Mangle
Extra Wording: [# Feet]

This effect moves a person or multiple people
away from the character. The effect does not need to
land a legal blow; the character merely needs to plant
both their feet, and state the effect and gesture with
their weapon or hands. Anyone gestured to, including
allies, needs to back away from the character. A number of Feet can be specified with this Effect, for example Knockback 100 feet. If no number of feet is specified the number is assumed to be 30 feet. While
moving, the person should choose a direct and safe
Extra Wording: [All] [Leg/Arm]

Like Maim this effect causes the target to lose use
of a limb or multiple limbs. See Maim for the complete details, as Mangle works the exact same. However, the effects of Mangle are more severe and cannot be
as easily cured. Unlike Maim, this effect generally requires Attributes to remedy. In addition, the duration
is longer than the Maim effect.
Duration: Refresh
30

Paralyze
Purge
This effect requires the character to remain completely frozen in place in whatever position they were
in when they were struck by the effect. If a character is
completely uncomfortable, or deliberately being
Posed they may then choose to collapse to the
ground. While Paralyzed, a character is aware of what
is going on, but cannot move, speak or communicate
in any way. Since being Dead removes Paralyze, If a
character enters the Dead state for any reason while
paralyzed, they will instantly collapse to the ground.
While paralyzed, a character is considered helpless.
Extra Wording: [All] <Trait/Effect>

This effect will remove an effect or trait from the
character using it. Purge is limited to Self only. It is
always considered to be a Passive skill, meaning it may
be used while Unconscious, affected by Fatigue, Stun,
Sleep, etc, Incapacitated, or even when stated that character may not use skills or abilities. The majority of
skills or abilities that use this effect require a certain
amount of RP time, but exceptions do exist. Purge
<Effect>, like Purge Berserk will remove a single instance of the effect on the character, exactly like the
Cure effect would. Purge <Trait>, like Purge Fire will
remove a temporary trait of Fire, or a single instance of
an effect with the fire trait, exactly like the Dispel effect would. Broader, Purge All <Effect/Trait> would
remove all instances of a specific effect or trait. Broader still Purge All will remove all effects and temporary
traits (including beneficial ones) affecting the character
except Death. No Purge effect will remove Death unless specifically stated in the call. A Purge Death will
return a character back to 1 Body Point, and any other
purge does not Heal a character in addition to fixing
them. If removing a negative effect, Purge is a beneficial effect.
Duration: Instant
Plague
While affected by Plague, the character becomes

No Effect to all Heal and Stabilize effects. Plague
must be Cured or removed in some way before a character can be healed at all. In addition, if Plague is not
cured within its duration (without altering, of 5 minutes) then the character will collapse to the Dead
state, and begin his death count.
Duration: Special
(If not cured within 5 minutes, character collapses to
Dead.)
Pull
This effect causes the character to move into melee
range of the target that generated the effect. This effect
may move characters that normally could not move by
themselves, or are helpless. While moving, the character should choose a direct and safe path, but cannot
attack anyone by any means, including ranged attacks,
and is considered under the effects of Agony without
the pain. The effect ends when the character is in melee combat range of the Target or the character cannot
reach the target reasonably in 30 seconds of trying.
This effect will always disrupt a planted Frenzy or other Planted actions, ending it if the person is affected by
Pull. If the character is affected by an effect that does
not let him move, such as Root, would have to cross
an Obstacle or otherwise is unable to travel the full
length safely to the target the character may go to one
knee, and be affected, as per the same agony for a full
30 seconds.
Duration: Special
(Until you move into melee range of the target, or 30
seconds whichever comes first.)
Repair
Extra Wording: [#/All] <Item>

This effect will restore a target item (ie. Weapon,
Armor or Tagged Item) that is Damaged or had the
Destroy effect used upon it. This effect will never work
on consumable items that have been used, only ones
that have been actually destroyed. If used with Armor,
a number of Armor points may be stated, only repairing that many armor, for example Repair 3 Armor. If
no value is stated, the assumption is the entire suit of
Armor is repaired to full point value, removing any
breach and resetting the ability to use the Refit Armor
skill on it. Broader, 'Repair All <Item>' will repair all
of a specific type of item on the target. Broader still, a
'Repair All' will repair all items on the target. Generally, skills that generate this effect require Attributes or a
specific Blacksmith made Material to work. This is a
beneficial effect.
Duration: Instant
31

range. Weapon blows that do not have a specific foot
stated affect the leg that is struck, while ranged and
packet attacks without a limb stated allow you to pick
which foot becomes rooted. This effect has no bearing
on the other foot, and you may pivot the foot rooted,
to swivel to different directions, as long as it does not
move from the specific spot. A character can only be
affected by a single root at a time, and if one foot is
rooted, and the other one is targeted, it overrides the
old root effect.
Repel
This effect will force the character to try to remain

at least 10 feet away from the person that generated
the effect. If at any point doing so would force the
character to enter a dangerous area or prevent movement, then they may move within the 10 foot range in
order to achieve a safe position, but must then attempt
to move back away to 10 feet. In addition, the character may not use any attacks on the caster of the effect,
including any ranged attacks. This effect will immediately end if the character is attacked in any way by
the caster of the effect.
Duration: Special
(Until attacked by caster or 5 Minutes whichever
comes first.)
Silence
This effect will cause the characters voice to stop
working completely. The character may not verbally
communicate with others In Game, cast Spells/Scrolls
requiring an Incant, or otherwise use their voice to cry
out. Any skill that requires an RP time of performance, talking, shouting or even whispering may not
be used while the character is affected by the Silence
effect. This also includes any effects that would force
the character cry out, such as Expose or a Command.
If affected by one of those and the character was silenced, they would mime or pretend to cry out, but
make no sound. This has no bearing on any out of
game verbal calls, and all of those may still be used
normally. Examples of such verbal calls would be Parry, Disengage or Activate 5 Heal 3 by Poison.
When a characters mouth is bound with cloth or
rope, a character is considered under a Permanent
Silence effect while gag remains in place.
Duration: Rest
Restore
Extra Wording: [#/All] <Attribute>

This effect will replace missing Attribute Points to
the character. For the purpose of this effect, Stamina,
Stealth, Inspiration, Arcane, Zeal and Power are considered to be attributes instead of skills. If no number
is used with this effect, like Heal, the number 1 is implied. Used with a number and an Attribute, this will
replace up to that many missing Attribute Points the
character is lost. For instance, Restore 2 Strength will
restore up to 2 used Strength Points. A character may
never be restored over their maximum of a specific
Attribute, and may use the call Reduced or No Effect to indicate such. In the previous example, if the
character had 3 Strength, and 2 Strength Points left,
they would receive 1 Strength Point, bringing them to
their maximum of 3 Strength Points. Broader, a Restore All <Attribute> will restore all missing Attribute
Points, and Restore All will restore all lost attributes
as if just Refreshed. Endurance works differently with
this effect, much like Drain. No restore effect will replace used Endurance Points unless specifically mentioned in the call, like Restore Endurance. This is a
beneficial effect.
Duration: Instant
Slay
This effect kills the character outright reducing
them to Dead, and then bypasses the normal 5 minute
Death Count, causing them to rise as a spirit to resurrect instantly. Any skill or ability that can Reduce a
Death effect will not work to reduce a Slay unless specifically stated in the skill that it will work. In addition, a Cure Death will have No Effect on a character
affected by Slay, unless the Cure Death is specifically
to Spirit. If affected the character must first fall to
the ground, then the character must drop all In Game
possessions, and then their spirit will rise and head to
Deaths Realm.
Duration: Instant
Root
Extra Wording: [Left/Right Foot]

This effect will disallow the character to move a
specific foot. In addition, this effect will immediately
cause the player to have to take a knee to the Disengage, Knockback or Pull effects, if they are within
32

Sleep
Stabilize
This effect causes the character to collapse into a

deep slumber that they are unable to rouse from easily.
The character must fall to the ground, and role-play
sleeping for 5 minutes. They may snore, or do anything else that is sleep related (no sleepwalking or talking though!) to give people the idea of the effect they
are under. While under the sleep effect, the character is
considered Unconscious, and cannot perceive the
world around them. If the character takes at least a
point of damage (Called or Uncalled) they will awaken
with a start. If someone begins a Killing Blow on the
character, they will take a point of uncalled damage,
and awaken instantly.
Duration: Special
(Until 5 minutes passes, character is damaged or a
Killing Blow is begun, whatever comes first.)
This effect causes the character, if they are Bleeding Out at -1 Body Points, to return to 0 Body Points.
This will have no effect on any character that is not in
their Bleed Out count. If a character is at 0 Body or
higher or they are in their Death Count, the character
must reply No Effect to a Stabilize effect generated
on them. In addition, a Counted Action stabilize (Begin Stabilize) will pause a characters Bleed Out count
wherever it is at. If the action is interrupted or
stopped, the Bleed Out count will continue where it
left off. For example, if a character is at 23 seconds
into their Bleeding Count, and receives a Begin Stabilize for 50 seconds, they will remain at 23 seconds,
but will begin counting again if the person doing the
action stops. This is a beneficial effect.
Duration: Instant
Slow
This effect will cause the character to slow down

to the point they cannot move faster than a slow walk.
The character can swing and fight normally, providing
that they never run or move their feet quickly. If anyone attempts to flee from the character, they must let
them get away. Conversely, any pursuit against a character affected by Slow should always catch up.
Duration: Rest
Speak
This effect allows the character to be able communicate with others, this includes any effect in which
the character could not talk (such as being Dead, or a
Spirit) except the Silence effect. Anyone within earshot
will be able to hear what the character affected by
Speak is saying, but the character affected will not be
able to understand anyone else except the caster of the
Speak effect if they couldnt normally. Usually this is
done with a trait, such as Elemental, or Dead, allowing
a conversation to take place even if the caster could not
normally communicate with the character. The Speak
effect does not force the target to tell the truth, or
force communication in any way; it merely allows
communication to take place. Keep in mind that some
targets thoughts or words might be so different or
alien, that while a character is able to speak to the target, they might not completely understand what the
target is trying to convey.
Duration: 5 Minutes
33

but Triple Death by Fire would remain unchanged.
Broader, if this effect is used with Damage, for example Vulnerable Damage then the character would add
the Double prefix to any Called Damage attack (of any
trait) that the character receives, from weapons or
spells. Broader still, Vulnerable All would make the
character add the Double prefix to all negative called
effects (of any trait) that the character receives. This
effect has no effect on Uncalled Damage.
Duration: Rest
Stun
This effect causes the character to fall limp to the

ground and immediately become Unconscious. While
under the Stun effect, the character cannot perceive
the world around them. The character will not lose
any Health while being stunned, and will awaken with
whatever Body and Armor Points they had prior to
being stunned. While stunned, a character is considered Helpless. In addition, there are no visible differences between being stunned and being unconscious
for any other reason, unless a Diagnose effect is used.
Duration: 5 Minutes
Weakness
Extra Wording: [#]

This effect causes the character to be unable to
generate any Called Weapon Effects besides damage,
and reduces all Called Damage they generate with Melee and Ranged Weapons by a specific number. If no
number is specified, then the default number is 5.
Weakness has no effect any ability that is not generated with a weapon of some kind. This effect can never
reduce the number of a called weapon strike below 2.
This effect cannot stack with itself, and any new more
powerful Weakness will override the old one.
Duration: Rest
Vulnerable
Extra Wording: <All/Trait/Damage>
This effect causes the character to take double
negative effect from all non-beneficial effects from the
specific Trait in the call. The character merely adds the
Double Prefix to any incoming negative effect. Note
that this will have no additional effect on already
Double or Triple effects, as they can never be doubled
again. For Example, if the character was affected with
Vulnerable Fire, and was hit with 5 Damage by Fire
they would receive that as Double 5 Damage by Fire
34

Advanced Effects
Inflict Trait
Extra Wording: <Trait>

This specific exception to Inflict does not usually
come with a separate card, or Let me Clarify but exceptions do exist. Instead this effect gives the character
a specific trait as named in the call for the duration of
the Event. This effect is considered Empowered, for
the purposes of attempting to remove it, but unless
specifically stated with a card or by a member of Plot,
this trait usually goes away at the end of an event.
Some Inflict traits Inflict an additional effect at the
end of the duration if they are not removed, which will
be accompanied by a Card, or Sealed Envelope.
These effects are more complicated, and tend not

to just be thrown or used in combat, unlike Standard
Effects. The vast majority of these effects need additional explanation, either through verbal communication, or a written card. While not as common as standard effects, these effects are used frequently to provide
a simple way of covering situations or effects not covered in the previous effects, or rare enough effects that
it would not be worth memorizing them. Knowing
how these effects work, will allow you to, without additional memorization, to be able to react appropriately to any situation in game with an advanced effect.
Imbue
Imbue is almost identical in nature to Inflict, except that it is almost always beneficial and generally are
positive effects. The Imbue effect is always accompanied by one of two things; a card that states the exact
effect or the person that imbued the character using a
Let me Clarify which will also explain the effect. Refer to Inflict for more details, as Imbue uses the similar
rules. Unlike inflict, Imbues are not Empowered unless otherwise stated. For Example, if you do an Imbue by Magic that allows you to swing +1 with all
Called Damage, a Dispel Magic will remove it. Remember that Cure does not remove beneficial effects
though, so in the same example a Cure All would not
remove it. This effect is generally used by players to
give another player a temporary ability or grant themselves a power. No player, unless explicitly given Plot
permission can use Imbue other characters without an
accompanied official card. Skills that imbue a character and are Self Only, do not come with a card, as they
cannot be transferred. This is a beneficial effect.
Inflict
This effect is a catchall effect that can include anything that isnt specifically in the standard effects. The
Inflict effect is always accompanied by one of two
things; a card that states the exact effect or the person
that inflicted the character using a Let me Clarify
which will also explain the effect. If a character is affected with the Inflict effect, they must pause to wait
for its delivery method, whether it is a card given to
the character or sentence explained. The character
must read this card as soon as possible without directly
interrupting any role-playing or combat. Once read,
the character must assume everything on the card is
true, and any instructions given must be followed. Answers to any questions should be addressed on the card
itself, but if a character has any issues that need to be
clarified, they should talk to a member of Plot or circumspectly ask the person that inflicted them for a
Clarification. Inflicts are almost always detrimental
and generally are negative effects. For the purposes of
an Inflict, unless a Cure specifically states Cure Inflict
that the cure effect will not remove them, and unless
otherwise stated, Inflicts are considered Empowered.
Remember that Empowered effects cannot be removed
without an Empowered Dispel, or Empowered Cure,
and will not be removed by going to the Dead status,
or travelling to the Realm of Death. Inflict Cards
usually last a specific duration, or until a specific action occurs, and the duration is always on the card
itself, with the default being for the full Event. Sometimes a card will have instructions on where to give the
card to when finished with it, instead of using a normal Tag Turn-in Container.
Sealed Envelopes
If an Inflict or Imbue is in a sealed envelope then
it has an unknown delayed effect. Some sealed envelopes are opened when instructed to do so, either by
the instructions on the envelope itself, or by another
person with the Let me Clarify effect. The other type
of sealed envelope can be voluntarily opened under
certain conditions, or whenever a character wishes,
which will be stated clearly on the sealed envelope itself. This is done to provide an element of mystery to
some effects, and should not be viewed until the correct time.
35

instructions as well. This effect is used extremely rarely
in Players hands if at all. Every instance of this effect
must be specifically approved by a member of Plot.
This effect can be used to explain how a specific Adventure works, or what that Inflict or Imbue really just
did. If given instructions, the character must follow
those as well. Even if the person that uses this is untrustworthy in the game, the character can assume that
anything stated in this effect is true, and can be taken
as fact. This effect is used to help keep the game running smoothly, when a placard, written card, or exact
instructions are not always available.
Counted Actions
Some Skills or abilities allow you to generate an

effect on a helpless or willing target after a certain
amount of time. These can be helpful or harmful, and
all follow the same format. They all require that you
touch a weapon or packet to the player, as required for
Touch Casting. In all cases, a counted action must
take place between the time of the first call and the
effect. This action is interrupted by damage or any
effect or if the character wishes to stop for any reason.
The character may quietly count out loud, or in his
head, for example Begin Killing Blow, Killing Blow
1, Killing Blow 2, Killing Blow 3, Death. In that example Begin Killing Blow and Death must be
stated, but all of the counting may be done quietly, or
silently. In addition, the character may extend the duration of the count for as long as he wishes, without
penalty. Begin Stabilize is a special case as it will halt a
characters Bleeding count, and Killing Blow is a special case because it can be done by anyone without a
skill. All other counted actions require a skill to use.
If the end call is Inflict or Imbue, the character must
then hand the target the appropriate Inflict or Imbue
Card. Some examples are as follows:
Begin <Skill Name> <Effect>
Begin Awaken Cure Sleep
Begin Stabilize Stabilize
Begin Killing Blow Death
Begin Feeding <Effect>
Begin Infliction Inflict
Yellow Hexes
A yellow hexagon is the usual way that Out of
Game information is displayed to Players to avoid
speaking out of character, and interrupting the flow of
the Event. If at any point a character comes across one,
they must first pause and read it before taking any other action. Sometimes a particular Staff member will
clarify information if needed, but in general any information needed should be contained on yellow hexes. Yellow hexes usually contain information that cannot be easily gleaned from the props. This does not
mean that other information is not available elsewhere
as well, but this Out of Game information is usually
clear and to the point. Examples of this are what effect
a Rope Light Portal has, what skill it takes to open the
following door, or what exactly is in that pit between
the jumpy stones. Yellow hexes also can limit access to
areas, and designate Out of Game locations, and other
restricted access.
Instant
Some skills or abilities will allow a character to

perform a normally counted action instantly. To avoid
confusion, you merely state Instant <Effect> while
delivering the effect normally, instead of the word Begin. The effect must still be delivered in the same way
as a counted action, which is usually touching a weapon or packet to your target. For example, if a character had the ability to Instant Killing blow, they would
touch a weapon to the torso of the target and state
Instant Death as the call.
Hazards
Hazards are a specific type of Yellow Hex, that

contains an effect, is usually used to represent what
danger will befall someone that steps into a pit, or gets
hit with falling rocks or any other environmental malady. These are generally predominantly displayed in
the area of question, or clearly marked when they will
occur. For example of there was a pit of acid
represented by a green tarp, with a 10 Lethal by Acid
Hazard on it, missing a jumpy stone and stepping in
the pit would result in taking 10 Lethal by Acid.
Hazard damage, along with Trap damage, is generally
Lethal. This represents an inherent extra danger in
physical challenges and premade traps.
Let me Clarify
This effect means that whatever is stated next is
true, and should be followed. This effect does not need
to land a legal blow and can never be defended against.
It is generally informational in nature but can contain

Game Stopping
Effects
question, a character cannot call a Clarification if they

think someone else is not taking the correct effect.
There are many skills in the game that can reduce,
change or flat out make a character No Effect to an
effect, so do not instantly come to the conclusion that
someone is cheating. A character that wishes to ask an
important question to a member of Plot may circumspectly use Clarification: I need to talk to Plot to any
NPC, or fill out a Request Sheet. Clarifications should
not last more than approximately 10 seconds, and can
never be used because you are confused about anything In Game, only rules mechanics. Abuse of this
effect is cheating and will be dealt with, with anything
up to and including being asked to leave the game.
These effects are so important, that they deserve a

category of their own, and effect players, not characters. Any player can use any of these effects, if the situation requires it.
Caution
This effect is a warning or exclamation of a danger
or hazard Out of Game, or a reaction to a minor injury. All players of the game may use this effect, if
they deem it necessary. All play around where the caution is called must be paused while the problem is
dealt with. Play not directly around where the specific
Caution happens may continue, but all characters may
not attempt to attack or take advantage of anyone in a
caution. This pause to the game should be short, between a couple of seconds to a minute or two at the
maximum. Common reasons for a Caution are a bad
fall, knocked off glasses, or a bad head shot with a boffer or packet. Feel free to also use Caution as a preventive measure or a warning if someone is going to trip,
back into someone or do something that may harm
them. If desired and you are the injured party of a caution, you may sit the Battle out. Place your hand or
weapons over your head, and inform anyone that approaches you Caution: Resting. If someone is hurt
badly, then an Emergency Hold should be used, but
please try to keep Holds to an absolute minimum, and
only for when someone is actually hurt. Abuse of this
effect is cheating and will be dealt with, with anything
up to and including being asked to leave the game.
Emergency Hold
This effect stops game for everyone around that
hears the call. All players of the game may use this effect, if they deem it necessary. In addition, this call
should be repeated for anyone that approaches the
area. This effect is used in the rare event that someone
is hurt badly and needs medical attention or to go to a
hospital. A Caution can be suddenly upgraded to an
Emergency Hold if needed, so sometimes its better to
be cautious about calling this for someone else, unless
you are absolutely certain. All play should stop, and all
players should go to one knee, indicating that there is a
serious a problem. Anyone medically trained should
approach to see if they can assist in any way they deem
necessary, or runners may be sent to go get someone
else that can help. Game will not continue until the
Emergency is dealt with. Abuse of this effect is cheating and will be dealt with severely, with anything up to
and including being asked to leave the game.
Lay On
Clarification
While not a game stopping event, this is closely

tied in with the above effects, as it is the effect that can
start game up again. With a Clarification, this should
be stated by the person that called it in the first place.
With a Caution, It can be for whoever called the Caution in the first place, or whomever the Caution was
called can state Lay On again. For an Emergency
Hold, only an EMT or a member of Plot should use
this, unless called in error. Before using this effect to
resume game, the character should check to make sure
all issues are resolved and game will continue smoothly.
This effect is used when character is confused

about an effect, call, or specific in game action that
occurred. Like a Caution, this effect essentially pauses
the game around where the call was made while an
effect is explained or a call is restated. Usually this is
only needed for newer players, but all players of the
game may use this effect, if they deem it necessary. A
character may not call a Clarification to state that a
packet or weapon hit someone; it is up to that person.
If you believe that someone is breaking the rules then
refer to the Honor Rule on how to deal with it instead.
Clarifications must always be used by someone to ask a
37

Effect Modifiers
and are generally referred to as Called Damage, because of that. There are many skills and abilities in the
game to increase Called Damage done, or decrease the
amount taken, so do not assume someone is cheating,
with the amount of damage they deal or receive.
Effects can have a couple of different words that

can alter exactly what an effect does. These should be
learned, as they can apply to any Standard Effect, and
even some of the Non-Standard effects. The template
for modifiers involves before or after the effect. For
example an effect would look like [Prefix] <Effect>
[Suffix] where the prefixes and suffixes are optional.
Suffixes
Suffixes come after an effect call, and generally

modify the trait that the effect is by, to, the delivery
method, or any additional linking effects. All effects
have a suffix of by <Trait> and if it is not specifically
called, by Physical is the default.
Prefixes
Prefixes come before an effect call, and generally

modify the effect itself, or the delivery method. Prefixes can make it harder to defend again, increase or
decrease durations, and other types of effect modifiers.
Defaults
Some Effect Modifiers have specific defaults,

which if not explicitly stated, default to a number or
time. This is similar to the Heal Effect defaults to 1
without a number. These defaults are all clearly stated
in each of the modifiers, and are standardized to be as
simple to remember as possible.
Damage Calls
Damage calls are similar to effects but just generate damage. They are always preceded by a number,

Prefixes
Empowered
This prefix signifies an effect that is much more

difficult to remove than normal. Cure and Purge effects will not remove any Empowered effect, unless
they too have the Empowered Prefix. In addition, the
effect will remain active while in a characters Death
Count. Empowered effects will generally still be removed when a character goes to Deaths Realm to resurrect, but exceptions can occur with specific Imbue
or Inflict Cards. By default Inflicts are considered to
be empowered unless specifically stated otherwise on
the card.
Activate
This prefix signifies the use of a consumable item,
and it must be used to accompany any effect that is
used with Gas Poisons, Scrolls, Magic Items, etc
This Prefix is only used with consumable items, so it is
clear that the effect generated was not from a skill.
Remember that characters that use a consumable on
themselves, like a Potion or an Elixir, still must use
this prefix and state the effect out loud after doing any
RP time to consume the item.
Extend
Delay
This prefix signifies that the effect lasts a longer

than the normal default duration. If accompanied with
a Suffix of time, that is the new duration, else the default is 1 hour. For example, Extend Stun would
change the Stun duration from normal (which is 5
minutes) to 1 hour, the default. Any effect that requires Rest to remove will now require the new duration of rest as well. This prefix does not modify any
ability to Cure or Dispel the effect, but will only alter
its duration.
This prefix signifies that an effect will happen in a

specified certain duration. If accompanied with a Suffix of time, the effect will occur then, else the default is
1 hour. For example, Delay Death by Fire 6 hours
will cause the character to take a Death by Fire in six
hours. The effect can still be dispelled by removing the
trait that comes with it, (remember that an affect is
always physical by default if not stated) but cannot be
cured until the actual effect occurs.
Double
Major
This prefix signifies an effect or defense that is

twice as potent as normal. The Double prefix means
that a character will take two of the specific effect consecutively. For Instance a Double 5 Damage by Fire
will make the character take 5 Damage by Fire twice.
Both attacks must be individually defended, or the
attack must be defended with a Double prefixed defense. This prefix on a defense will stop two of attacks
of similar nature, and is generally used to avoid repetition. For example, if a character was hit with a 5
Damage by Fire and a Death by Fire at the same
time, or a Double Paralyze by Fire and they had the
ability to Parry Fire, they could use double the
attributes and call Double Parry. In addition, some
skills may allow you to generate the Double Prefix on
defenses. The Double prefix can never stack with itself,
nor any other effect that causes a character to take
Double or Triple effect, only the greatest multiplier is
used. An example of this is a race that is Vulnerable to
Fire, is struck with a Double 5 Damage by Fire
Normally the character would add the Double Prefix
to the attack since it was fire but since it already had
the Double Prefix, no additional effect is added.
This prefix signifies an effect or Defense that is

much more powerful than normal. The Deflect defense cannot be used against any effect with this Prefix,
and any non-major Defense will work just like a Deflect normally does. Any defense used without the Major Prefix will successfully defend against one attack
with the Major trait, but will refund the attributes or
skill used to generate the Major effect to character.
Any Major effect that is Voice delivered or Area of
effect in nature cannot be defended against except with
a Major Defense.
Massive
This prefix signifies that the effect cannot be successfully blocked. A complete miss will still not work,
but any legal blow or attack that successfully strikes the
weapon or a shield of a character will cause them to
take the effect. This prefix can only be applied to a
weapon, as all packet attacks are always considered to
be Massive by default. This does not change the effect other than allowing it to be able to affect characters through their weapons and shields.
39

Damage Calls
Natural
This prefix signifies that the effect can be successfully blocked with a weapon or a shield. This prefix
can only be applied to a packet, as all Weapon attacks
are always considered to be Natural by default. This
does not change the effect other than allowing it to be
able to be successfully blocked with a weapon or
shield.
<#> Damage
Normal damage is by far the most common damage call, and is stated as # Damage for where the effect would be placed. Examples of this are Massive 10
Damage and 5 Damage by Fire. Damage is subtracted normally as per the Health section of the rules.
Bonus Armor, Armor Points, Bonus Vitality, and then
Body Points are what are affected by damage, in that
order. If called damage drops a character, regardless of
whether they are exactly at 0 or less, they are always
put to -1 and Bleeding Out. Damage may be reduced
by skills and abilities, but never to below 1.
Permanent
Like Extend, this prefix signifies that an effect lasts
a different, longer duration of the entire Event. For
example, Permanent Slow would change the duration
of slow from normal (which is 5 minutes) to the remainder of the event. Any effect that requires Rest to
remove cannot be removed with this prefix. This prefix does not modify any ability to Cure or Dispel the
effect, but will only alter its duration.
<#> Body
This form of damage bypasses all forms of Armor

Points and Bonus Armor, and does its Damage directly to Body. Other then bypassing armor, it works exactly like Damage works. Examples of this are Natural
2 Body and 3 Body by Mind. Just like called Damage, if Body damage drops a character, regardless of
whether they are exactly at 0 or less, they are always
put to -1 and Bleeding Out. Body damage may be reduced by skills and abilities, but never to below 1.
Quicken
This prefix signifies that the effect lasts shorter

than the normal default duration. If accompanied with
a Suffix of time, that is the new duration, else the default is 10 seconds. For example, Quicken Stun 20
seconds would change the Stun duration from normal
(which is 5 minutes) to 20 seconds. Any effect that
requires Rest to remove will now require the new duration of rest as well. This prefix does not modify any
ability to Cure or Dispel the effect, but will only alter
its duration.
<#> Lethal
This form of damage bypasses damage reduction

and Lethal damage is more likely to kill a Character.
Lethal damage is subtracted normally as per the Health
section of the rules, refer to Damage for details. Examples of this are Massive 3 Lethal and 6 Lethal by
Trap. In addition, if Lethal damage drops a character,
regardless of whether they are exactly at 0 or less, they
are affected by a Death effect, and begin their Death
Count. Just taking Lethal damage will not kill a character, they must be dropped to 0 or less. In addition,
Lethal damage may not be reduced in any way,
through any skill or ability.
Triple
This prefix, like Double signifies an effect or defense that is more potent than normal, causing the
character to take three of the specific effect consecutively, or defend against three attacks. See Double for
any clarifications on exactly how this works. The
Triple Prefix can never stack with itself, or any other
damage multiplier, like Double or Vulnerable.
Unstoppable
[#] Padded
This prefix signifies the Effect is much more powerful than normal. Any Effect with the Unstoppable
Prefix cannot be defended against, with any Defenses
(Shield, Parry, Evade, etc). This Prefix will not alter
the ability to Reduce or be No Effect to the effect; only what active defenses can use to stop it. This prefix
does not modify any ability to Cure or Dispel the effect, but will only alter ability to defend against it.
This form of damage is non-lethal, and can be

generated by anyone. Converting Called or Uncalled
Damage to Padded can be done without skill. The call
Padded in replacement of Uncalled Damage will not
do any damage, and is used for sparring. With a
number prefix, such as 3 Padded this will reduce a
character to 0 instead of Bleeding.
40

Suffixes
to <Trait>
This suffix signifies that an effect is targeted towards a specific character trait. This causes the attack
to have No Effect on any character without the specific trait in the call. Examples of this are 5 Damage to
Elf or Death to Fire by Water. In addition, if the
effect with this prefix has a duration longer than and
somehow the character loses the trait, they are no
longer affected by it. For instance, with Agony to
Spirit while a character is in Spirit Form, removing
the Form will remove the agony. This does not change
anything else about an effect except who it can target.
by <Trait>
This suffix signifies what Trait an effect has. All

effects have a trait that comes with them, which flavors
the effect and allows specific defenses against it. See
the Trait section of Effects for exact clarification. If an
effect call does not have a by <Trait> then the assumption is that it is by Physical. This is mainly used
for weapon attacks, to make the calls less verbose. Defenses that only work on a specific trait must hear that
trait to work on them. Examples of this are 5 Damage
by Fire vs. a Parry Fire.
to <Name>
This is a special case of the to <Trait> suffix that

affects a character with the name, nickname, or pseudonym in question. If a character has introduced
themselves with a name, they must then be affected if
that name is then used to target them. For Example,
Voice Attack to Dark, Agony by Fear would target
anyone that calls himself Dark, whether they were lying about that being their real name or not.
and <Effect>
This suffix can be used on an effect or defense to

link two effects together. This will cause a character to
take multiple effects from a single call. With effects, an
example of this could be Silence and Root by Magic.
A single defense against magic would negate the entire
attack. A defense against Silence would leave the character still affected by Root by Magic or a defense
against Root and a defense against Silence would also
negate the entire attack. In the above example, a Cure
Silence would remove the Silence, leaving the Root
and a Cure Root would vice versa. A Dispel Magic
would remove the entire effect. With defenses, generally this is used to signify a secondary effect that is happening with a defense. Examples of this are Parry and
10 Damage Aura or Resist and Heal 2 to Self.
to Back
This special case of the to <Trait> suffix limits

the effect to be a legal blow behind the character to
count. This can be generated with Melee or Ranged
Weapons or Packets. If a character is clearly struck in
the front with this effect, then they may state No Effect: Front to signify that the attack did not strike the
character from behind. To Back attacks can strike a
character in any limb or the torso, as long as it came
from behind the character. Reaching around a character to call to Back is never allowed, and the general
rule of thumb is that to use this ability, the caster
should be behind both shoulder blades of a target. Examples of this are Maim to Back or Double 10
Damage to Back. In addition, this attack may be
whispered if generated by a Melee Weapon, as long as
it is loud enough the target can hear it.
by Supremacy
This special case of the by <Trait> suffix is a specific trait that always affects the target. Any Verbal
with the by Supremacy call may not be Reduced or
No Effect to. This means if a character is normally
immune to Stun, a Stun by Supremacy will still affect
them. This does not change the effect, nor change
what Defenses can be used against it, only who it affects.
to Self
except <Trait>
This is a special case of the to <Trait> suffix in

which the effect was used on the character that generated it. This is used to prevent confusion over targeting in some situations, especially when combing multiple effects. Examples of this are Cure Maim to Self
and Resist and Heal 5 to Self.
This trait is the opposite of the to <Trait> as it

does not affect anyone with the specific trait. This is
generally used in conjunction with another trait, or in
an area of effect call. An example would be Voice
Attack except Town Repel by Fear, which would
affect everyone except characters with the Town trait.
41

Combat
Flurry Rule
The flurry rule governs the number of times you

can swing at an opponent. Since Requiem uses uncalled hits, normal damage calls do not limit the speed
of attacks. The flurry rule states that you may attempt
to swing at a character three times, and no two of
them in the same place, before taking a step back and
pausing. Three attacks means three, regardless of
whether an attack missed, was blocked, or was actually
a legal blow. A character dual wielding is still governed
by this rule, where as they must limit both of the weapons to three total swings. If you are hit in the same
spot twice in a row, or swung at more than three times
in a row without a pause, you may state Flurry to
remind an opponent. Pausing and stepping back need
not be for more than a second or two, but should allow both combatants a quick break.
Safety
The absolute and primary concern in combat is
safety. All rules are in the game are designed with this
in mind, but cannot be all encompassing. Any action
in combat that would violate the No Physical Contact
Rule is not allowed. If you believe that a situation is
unsafe, then do not get involved in it. Back away or
remove yourself from the problem, and let someone
else know. Please keep in mind that the number one
most dangerous aspect of combat is running or backing up at night. If you choose to do such, be very careful and pay attention to your surroundings. Abuse of
any of the rules in the combat section is cheating and
will be dealt with, with anything up to and including
being asked to leave the game. Penalties for safety rule
violations are generally judged much harsher, as we
dont want anyone getting hurt.
Down Rule
A player with his hands or weapon over his head

does not wish to be hit. It is called the down rule, because you know the character is actually down and not
just possuming. Generally this is used as a non-verbal
way of stopping people from hitting them, if falling is
impossible due to safety or health reasons. If a player
places their weapons over the head, they are either Incapacitated or Bleeding Out. Even if they normally
would be at 0, they are now Bleeding Out. They may
then move to a safer spot or take their time getting
down on the ground and other players will know that
the character is actually not a threat anymore. If someone is minorly hurt during a combat and wishes to sit
it out, he may do so with the Caution: Resting rule,
with his weapons over his head. Unlike other games,
this does not mean Out of Game and the character is
still there and can be Searched or Killing Blowed, etc.
You may not use this rule while walking around unless
injured and returning somewhere safer.
Illegal Targets
In Requiem, the head, neck, hands and groin are

all illegal targets. Be especially careful of not hitting
those targets in bad lighting or at night. Any weapon
blow struck there does not count, nor will ever negatively affect the character struck. In fact they often lead
to a Caution. Packets may never be intentionally
aimed at those targets but if struck there with a packet,
players are expected to take the effect.
Swinging
Boffer combat is meant to simulate real combat,
but restrictions apply in how a weapon boffer is
swung. In regards to weapon blows, Requiem uses a
Lightest Touch system, which means that any weapon strike, regardless of how lightly struck is considered to have affected the character. Since the Honor
System is used, any block that you believe blocked a
blow is considered to have. As a general rule of thumb
though, if you believe that you were struck before you
blocked, then always take that hit. When swinging, a
player should use his wrist in a snapping motion more
so then putting real force into weapon blows. Weapon
blows should be arced between 45 degrees and 90 degrees. Less than 45 degrees is against the rules because
you can hit too fast. Over 90 degrees is against the
rules because it is unsafe and encourages too hard hits.
Non-Combatants
Anyone with bright neon orange or yellow armbands and headbands, one of which should glow at
night should not be struck with a boffer weapon at all.
Usually this is because of a medical condition, so be
extra careful. To attack the person, merely go up to
them and pantomime hitting them, with or without
damage calls. They will take everything and often fall
very quickly.
42

Illegal Combat
Moves
Costume Rule
We in Requiem love good costuming, but sometimes it can hamper your combat effectiveness. This is
a rule that encourages costuming that might not otherwise be worn. Any Packet or Weapon that hits a billowing cloak or piece of clothing that would never
have actually struck the person will not affect the character. The Weapon or Packet must be a clear and obvious miss, minus the piece of costuming in the way.
You may never attempt to catch packets or weapons
with this rule or block them from striking yourself or
someone else. This rule works for larger racial prosthetics such as wings as well. The appropriate response
is Costume. As a rule of thumb, if you believe the
packet or weapon would have actually hit you, do not
use this rule. Abuse of this rule is cheating and will be
dealt with, with anything up to and including being
asked to leave the game.
Charging and Crowding

Deliberately running into a character, or running
at full speed towards a character is considered charging, and is against the rules. Players must be in enough
control to fully stop at least 3 feet before engaging
someone in combat. This can be really dangerous, and
breaks the No Physical Contact Rule. When fighting
any other player in combat, at no time should you be
able to reach out and touch them; fighting that close is
considered crowding and is against the rules. You must
back up to a safe distance where you could strike them
with a boffer weapon but could not actually touch
them.
Turtling and Cover
Fighting from a location of cover or even behind a

shield where your opponent has no legal targets is considered Turtling and is against the rules. The reason
for this is the normal moves that would counter such
combat would break the rules and would involve physical contact. Be especially careful of this if you are a
shorter player with a maximum sized shield, as shield
sizes are meant as an average and might be large
enough that you would be considered Turtling. Fighting with a 2-hander from behind a shield fighter is
acceptable, as long as the shield fighter is able to be hit.
This also includes fighting through holes in walls, or
from around corners for a prolonged period of time,
the occasion safe shot is OK, but purposely drawing
the fight out using cover is against the rules. In addition, you should never swing around a corner or
through a hole without clearly seeing your target, as
this can be unsafe and lead to an illegal blow.
Pinning and Trapping
Trapping or pinning someones weapon in combat

is against the rules. The reason for this is the normal
moves that would counter such would break the rules
and would involve physical contact. Be especially careful of this if your weapon is hooked or has any strange
curves or blades, which could trap a weapon. Weapons
may fail safety inspections because of this. At any
point a player without using extra force should be able
to pull their weapon back away from you.
43

Weapon Attacks
Packet Attacks
Uncalled Weapon Hits
Uncalled Packets
Any Weapon Strike that does not have any call to

go with it, is considered uncalled damage, and does 1
point of damage. This includes ranged weapons and
arrows. The majority of combat is silent like this, so it
is easier to hear effects when they are generated. Uncalled damage is less deadly then called damage, and
when you are reduced to 0 Body, you do not immediately go to Bleeding Out, unless you are then struck
again on your torso after falling.
Simply said, there is no such thing. If you are

struck with a packet there was a call that went along
with it. If you did not hear it, feel free to call Clarification: What hit me? and whoever did will be glad to
tell you. All Ranged Weapons will never be thrown
with packets.
Packet Delivered Effects
Unless otherwise stated with the word Natural,

packet attack is considered to affect you if it strikes any
part of you, or any weapon or shield you may be carrying. The exception to this is the Costume Rule. The
full effect of the packet must be stated before you begin to throw it at all. All packet attacks that are delivered without a trait are considered to be by Physical
in order to use Defenses on them.
Weapon Delivered Effects

Any weapon strike that has an accompanying call
with it, you are assumed to take the call assuming the
character lands a legal weapon blow. The weapon
swing and call may be done simultaneously; you do
not need to state the full call first. If there is no trait
with a weapon strike, it is automatically considered by
Physical.
Burst
Sometimes a skill or ability allows a character to
throw multiple packets at the same time, to strike multiple opponents, but not the same opponent more
than once. This is noted with the word Burst at the
end of the effect call. All characters struck with one or
multiple of the packets take the effect, like they were
only hit with one of the packets. An example of this
would be a breath weapon from a monstrous drake
might be 10 Damage by Fire Burst then the drake
would throw a whole handful of packets. If you are hit
with any or all of the packets you would only take 10
Damage by Fire once, along with anyone else that was
hit. All player based Burst effects denote the number
of packets you are allowed to use in the skill description.
Extend Strike
Extra Wording: <Effect> ... [Effect2]
This call indicates a different duration of a non
instant effect held for as long as the character wishes,
followed sometimes by an optional second effect
which the target must then take. The attack must first
land a legal blow, then the character holds weapon to
the targets body, similar to Extend Gesture as long as
contact is maintained then effect remains. Removing
the weapon for any reason, being Disengaged away
from the target, or being rendered helpless will all end
this effect. For example, Extend Strike Root would
Root the target as long as the character held the weapon to them. Sometimes a skill or ability will let you
do a second effect after a certain amount of time,
which would be stated right before the weapon is removed. An example of this would be a snake that constricts and binds its target until it is dead after 10
seconds, the call would be Extend Strike Bind then
after a 10 second Counted Action would call Death.
In some cases the call is the same, which merely follows the normal duration at that point. For example, a
Spider that wishes web its victim with Extend Strike
Bind then after the appropriate count Bind which
would then leave the character under the effect of a
Bind for the standard duration of 5 minutes.
Touch Cast
This is generally a packet delivered attack that has
the pre-requisite that the target is helpless or willing.
You should never actually touch another player without his/her permission, but merely take a packet and
touch the packet to the player to deliver the effect.
Some touch casts require touching a weapon to the
target instead of a packet, such as Killing Blow, and
will be stated. Anyone not helpless may choose to call
Resist against any touch delivered effect.
44

Special Attacks
Major Voice Attacks
The Major prefix on Voice Attacks works slightly

differently than on other delivery methods. Major
Voice Attacks cannot be defended against at all except
by a Major defense. This does not alter whether
someone can Reduce or be No Effect to the attack,
only what Defenses can be used.
Gesture Attacks
Some abilities allow a character to target someone
without a packet or weapon, by merely pointing or
gesturing at them. The target does not have to be directly looking back, but needs to know he was targeted. The character using a gesture attack can use the
targets name, or any identifying characteristic to get
the targets attention. The duration and effect is unchanged; merely the character does not need to throw
a packet. An example of this would be a Medusas gaze
turning someone to stone, Gesture Attack - Permanent Paralyze by Stone. Just like all other delivery
methods, if a trait for a Gesture Attack is not stated
then the default trait is by Physical.
to Room
The to Room is a special suffix that restricts a

Voice Attack to an enclosure or room. All of those in
the same room as the call must take the effect, but
those outside of the location are unaffected. For the
purposes of the effect, the specific room may be stated
to avoid confusion. If any part of a character is inside
the room, the Voice Attack will affect them. For Example, a trap could set off Voice Attack to Room
Death by Trap which would affect everyone in the
room, but those outside the room could attempt to do
something for their friends.
Extend Gesture
Some Gesture attacks are like the Extend Strike
weapon counterpart, and last as long as the character
casting them maintains the Gesture. With Extend Gesture, if the duration of the effect is not instant, then
duration instead becomes for as long as the character
maintains the gesture. Stopping the gesture or becoming Incapacitated will stop the effect. An example of
this would be Extend Gesture - Repel by Force
which would Repel the target for as long as the character maintained the gesture. Unlike the weapon version, there is no second effect possible with an Extend
Gesture, as it would be too confusing if the character
effected became too far away, or other obstructions
occurred.
to Circle
Similar to the to Room suffix, the to Circle suffix restricts a Voice Attack to those in a specific glowing circle. For purposes of the effect, the specific circle
may be stated to avoid confusion. If any part of a character is inside the circle, the Voice Attack will affect
them. In addition, circles do not have to be glowing
before the effect is stated, but may become glowing as
the effect is called, such as phys-repping the effects of a
pit trap. In that example the call might be Voice Attack to Circle 10 Lethal by Trap which would only
affect anyone inside or partially inside the circle.
Voice Attacks
Voice Attacks generally affect a large number of

people, up to all of those in earshot of the character
generating the Voice Attack. Without any other limiter, Voice Attack affects everyone except the character
generating it. In the case of beneficial Voice Attacks,
the character generating it can choose to take the effect
if they wish. Some skills or abilities may limit the volume that you may generate certain voice attacks at.
Targets may not attempt to plug their ears, shout
loudly or otherwise avoid Voice Attacks. Examples of
this are Voice Attack Slow by Water and Voice
Attack Major Expose Living by Fear. Just like all
other delivery methods, if a trait for a Voice attack is
not stated then the default trait is by Physical.
45

Defenses
used against an attack that strikes the back or front of

the torso, though special skills may modify these restrictions.
Defenses are specific skills or abilities that can end,

prevent, or pause an attack against a character without
the character being affected. They are only used
against legal hits. If a character actually dodges an attack or blocks a strike then there is no need to call anything. All defenses come in a couple of types below,
which behave differently.
Parry
This defense is usually tied to a trait or a specific

set of circumstances (such as a Melee swing or an attack by Magic) and will successfully defend against
the attack. A Parry will end a Minor Use, Single Use,
or Until Hit ability, meaning that they cannot use it
again without spending its cost again. A Parry will refund the cost of any attack with the Prefix of Major,
much like Deflect against a normal attack. The exact
type of the Parry need not be stated in the call, but
sometimes for flavor a trait may be used. For example,
if a character is struck with a 5 Damage by Faith attack and they have the ability to Parry Faith then the
appropriate call would be Parry indicating that the
attack was defended against. Unless otherwise noted,
Parry defenses always require that the character is
holding a weapon they are skilled with and normally
may not be used against an attack that strikes the back
or front of the torso, though special skills may modify
these restrictions.
Shield

the first, and only the first attack of that type to affect
a character. Shields are considered the only defense
that isnt smart, as it cannot be controlled which attack
will be shielded against. Shields cannot be used against
attacks with the Prefix of Major and are used up if the
character is affected by a Major attack that the Shield
would have tried to defend against. The exact type of
the Shield need not be stated in the call, but sometimes for flavor a trait may be used. For example, if a
character has a Shield Magic affecting him, and he is
struck with a 2 Damage by Magic then the appropriate call would be Shield indicating that the attack was
defended against, whether they wanted to use it on
that specific attack or not.
Evade or Resist
These defenses function exactly like parry in all

aspects except that they may be used against any legal
blow and do not require that a weapon be in hand.
While different words are used for flavor, Evade and
Resist are basically the exact same under the rules.
They are usually tied to a trait or a specific set of circumstances (such as a Melee swing or an attack by
Magic) and will successfully defend against the attack.
An Evade or Resist will end a Minor Use, Single Use,
or Until Hit ability, meaning that they cannot use it
again without spending its cost again. An Evade of
Resist will refund the cost of any attack with the Prefix
of Major, much like Deflect against a normal attack.
The exact type of the Evade or Resist need not be
stated in the call, but sometimes for flavor a trait may
be used. For example, if a character is struck with a
Sleep by Magic attack and they had the ability to
Resist Magic then the appropriate call would be Resist and if the character was affected by a Voice Attack
Agony by Fear and they had the ability to Evade
Anything they could call Evade indicating the attack
was defended against.
Deflect

set of circumstances (such as a Melee swing, or an attack by Magic) and will successfully defend against
the attack. A deflect will end a Minor Use ability, but
will refund the cost of a Single Use or Until Hit ability. This means that they person that had the attack
Deflected, is free to use it again immediately. A deflect cannot ever be used against any attack with the
Prefix of Major or any Voice Attack or Area of Effect
Hazard. The exact type of the Deflect need not be
stated in the call, but sometimes for flavor a trait may
be used. For example, if a character is struck with a 5
Damage attack with a melee weapon and they have
the ability to Deflect Melee then the appropriate call
would be Deflect indicating that the attack was defended against. Unless otherwise noted, Deflect defenses always require that the character is holding a
weapon they are skilled with and normally may not be
46

Special Defenses
Volley
the attack and then return an identical attack against
the caster. A volley will never return any Prefix on any
attack, and may never used against another volley. In
addition, no more than one volley may be used against
a single incoming attack, even if the Double or Triple
Prefix is used. A volley used against a Major attack will
defend against the specific attack and refund the
attributes, but will return a non-Major (since Major is
a prefix) attack back against the caster. A Major Volley
in addition to successfully ending any attack will return a Major attack against the caster, even if the original attack was not Major. The exact type of the Volley
need not be stated in the call, but sometimes for flavor
a trait may be used. For example, if the character is
struck with 5 Damage with a melee attack and they
have the ability to Volley Melee then the appropriate
call would be Volley indicating that the attack was
defended against, and the caster then would immediately take a 5 Damage instead.
Reduced
Extra Wording: [to <Effect>]
This can be an actively used defense, or a character
can have a blanket reduction against all incoming attacks of the same type. Any time an Effect or Damage
does not do the full amount against a character, at a
minimum the Reduced call must be made. This is to
indicate that it had a lesser effect. With damage and
most NPCs the call is usually just Reduced to indicate that some reduction occurred. With most Player
skills, the actual reduction is stated afterwards. For
instance if a character had the ability to Reduce the
effect of Stun to 5 Damage, then when struck with a
Stun they would call Reduced to 5 Damage to Self.
Another example would be a Player used a 10 Damage on a powerful creature, and the creature merely
responds with Reduced making it unclear to the player exactly how much he really did. Remember that
Reduced is not a valid defense against any attack by
Supremacy. Please keep in mind that in large combats for certain creatures it is impossible to state Reduced to every incoming effect if being attacked by
many opponents, so please give such creatures some
leeway.
Aura
Extra Wording: <Effect>...
This defense does not defend against an attack,
but causes the target that just struck the character to
take the Effect listed in the Aura. This attack is by default smart, and the character may use it however they
please, but some specific skills or abilities might limit
this. This defense will not stop damage or an effect to
character in any way even if either party falls to the
effect. Sometimes Auras are linked together with
another defense with the and <Trait> modifier. Specific skills that allow Aura defenses are generally tied to
a trait or a specific set of circumstances (like a Melee
swing or an attack by Magic). An example of this
could be a mage has a spell that lets him call 5 Damage by Fire Aura to the first melee swing that hits
him. If the mage is then hit with an uncalled strike,
the Mage would take 1 point of damage and then call
5 Damage by Fire Aura against the person that struck
him. If no trait is specifically stated with an Aura, then
it is assumed to be by Physical.
No Effect
This defense states that an incoming attack did
not have, nor will ever have under the current circumstances, any effect. This will use up any Minor Use
ability, but will refund the cost of any Single Use or
Until Hit ability. Sometimes a character can use an
ability to have No Effect to a specific thing (such as
Uncalled Damage, or All Called Damage and Effects
by Fire) for a specific amount of time, usually the
Battle, but sometimes for the entire Event or until they
Refresh or even while they remain Planted. If later that
character is then affected again, do not assume that he
is cheating. Some skills or abilities just let characters
be permanently be no effect to some traits or effects.
This defense is never used actively but is always a
blanket reduction. Remember that No Effect is not a
valid defense against any attack by Supremacy. Please
keep in mind in large combats that is impossible to
state No Effect to every incoming attack that a large
creature is unaffected by, if they are No Effect to uncalled damage. Please give such creatures some leeway.

Chapter 3:
Characters
In the history of Nexus, there has been no greater
unpredictable force than the character of mortal men.
The disparity between the best of their heroes and the
worst of the villains is astounding. Lessons of the
past have taught us all well; it is both their most powerful strength and weakness at the same time.

RequieM Chapter 3=Characters
Introduction
Steps of Character
Creation
Before You Start

So you want to make a character? It will seem
daunting at first, but by following these simple directions, in no time you will have a handle on the system.
More important than the rules governing character
creation, is your concept of what you want your character to be like. Try to use these rules to help guide
your character towards a vision and you will have a
happier and more rewarding time then the reverse and
letting the skills choose how you want to play your
character.
Concept
A lot of people can get tied up in the rules, and
totally forget what character creation is about. The
goal is to create a whole character instead of just the
specific skills they can do. The first thing that you
should attempt to work on is the concept of the character. What are his or her goals, what do you as a
player want to try out? How do you picture them in
combat (or not!), do they wield powerful spells, or an
old well used sword? Sometimes people write character histories before they even start worrying about CP,
which is perfectly fine. See the section on Character
Histories for more information and help designing the
non-rules part of the character creation process.
Development
Keep in mind that a starting character is just that,

a place to start. You may not like your starting build,
and may wish you had more CP to play around with.
Thats intentional! We want players to progress and to
have their characters grow with them, as they begin to
become immersed in the game. There are two balances
that you will need to keep in mind when creating a
character. The first is how well your character can
function to begin with, and the second is how well
your character can function at higher CP levels. Sometimes its easy to plan for a higher CP level, and forget
that you will have no useful starting skills, or plan for
the present too much, and have no idea where the character will grow to. There needs to be a balance.
Race & Mortality

These two choices majorly affect your character
and should be made before you attempt to purchase
skills or raise your attributes. Your characters race can
greatly benefit or detriment certain concepts, though
sometimes people deliberately go against the molds
for fun as well. Mortality refers to how survivable
your character is compared to how fast they advance.
Attributes & Skills
These are the main two parts of character creation

that take the long. Attributes refer to the physical nature of a character, and include how strong they are,
how smart, etc... Skills refer to actual abilities the character has, like the ability to cast a spell or wield a
weapon, or evade a trap. Dont forget Attribute Requirements, as many different aspects of a character,
including many skills require a minimum attributes to
accomplish. We recommend that 1/3 of your build be
devoted towards attributes.
Sections
Each of the main sections of this chapter deals
with a main topic of creating a character. Character
Points covers how many CP you can start with, Races
covers the player races, Attributes covers the main ways
to generate skills, Skills explains how skills are used,
organized, and their different types; lastly, the Character History section explains in detail how to go about
writing a background. These should be the five main
sections you will need to learn to successfully build a
character in Requiem. But it is up to you to really
flush a character out, and have him fit seamlessly into
the world of Nexus. We understand that this can be a
lot to take in. If at any point you need assistance, or
have any questions about character creation, do not be
afraid to Email us, post on our Forums or get help
from other players.
Finishing Touches
With all of that done, it is time for a Character
History, costuming, accent, mannerisms, and other
final aspects of a character. This is where a character
can really come together and fit into the world. Also,
it is good to conceive how a character fits into a team
or group, as it is important to realize that this is a social game, and is meant to be played in groups.

Character Points
ters also have no free first death from being judged

favorably. Mortal characters Advance at roughly
double the CP of their Gifted counterparts until very
high CP totals.
Starting CP
All new characters start with a certain number of
CP, which stands for character points. Character
points are used to buy new skills, racials, attributes and
abilities. Your character does not have a level in Requiem; they merely continue to accrue character
points. There are two main choices when starting your
character that greatly affect your CP: Mortal or Gifted.
They are explained below, but the choice is a very important one. After that choice, there are modifications
to starting CP, when you add all of those up, that is
how many CP you have to start with.
Warning
The world of Nexus is harsh and unforgiving, and
Plot never recommends playing a Mortal character
ever. It is a level of hardcore that some people enjoy,
and some even claim that the risks are worth it. Be
aware though, that if you choose Gifted, your character could still permanently die, and just because you
chose Mortal, it does not mean you cannot resurrect at
all.
Bonuses & Awards
Gifted
From this 20 or 30 CP is time to add any Awards

or Bonuses that you will receive, which are all outlined
below. These are set up to reward those that put more
time and effort into their character, for helping the
game achieve a certain level of costuming and immersion. Influence and Volunteer Credits can also increase CP, as they help the game out.
Gifted characters have a strong spirit, but are

harder to train and advance. Gifted characters start
with 20 CP base, before any other modifications. In
the world of Requiem, being gifted is relatively rare,
and they are seen almost as to be destined for great (or
evil) things. The exception to the rarity is the Celestial
races, which are always gifted. Sometimes called chosen ones, gifted characters have a much better chance
of returning from Deaths Realm than Mortals. Gifted
characters have approximately a 1 in 10 chance to
draw a Harsh Card from the Deck of Fate to start,
(which could permanently kill your character) and
never have worse than a 1 in 2 chance. As an added
bonus if Death judges you favorably (there are specific
skills and abilities that allow this) then a Gifted character cannot permanently die on their first death. Gifted
characters advance at roughly half the CP of their
Mortal counterparts until very high CP totals.
Grand Total
With this information all sorted out, you should

have a pretty good idea of how much CP you are
going to start with, but please keep in mind that
awards are not always guaranteed. It is recommended
that you have two character builds in advance, one
with and one without awards you expect to receive. If
you know your racial makeup or costume is great
though, feel free to ignore this advice, for we look forward to being impressed.
Rewrite Rule
Mortal
Before the second event playing a character, you

may without any penalty change anything or everything about your character that you wish, once. Race,
Headers, Skills, Attributes, Character History can all
be edited or completely changed. This is done so players can try a concept out, and if they are not completely happy with it, or have some ideas on how to change
it does not require them to start over again. Generally,
this is used by newer players, as sometimes they are
convinced to play a specific type of character, or realize
they do not like what they picked. All characters less
than 50 CP may apply for a rewrite, but special circumstances must exist if it after your second event.
Mortal characters have a weak spirit but advance

and train very easily. Mortal characters start with a 30
CP base, before any other modifications. Mortal characters are the norm in Requiem, and most NPCs
both good and evil are mortal. Satyrs/Nymphs are always Mortal on the world, outside of the Fae Realm.
Sometimes just called normal, Mortal characters have a
much worse chance of returning from Deaths Realm
than the Gifted. Mortal characters have approximately
a 1 in 2 chance to draw a Harsh Card from the Deck
of Fate to start, and can go all the way to the point
there are only harsh cards in the deck. Mortal charac50

Bonuses
Influence Bonus
Many different ways to help the game grant Influence, which is a form of reward points. One of the
many uses of Influence is to gain CP on your (or
someone elses) character. The full cost of gaining CP
and other uses of Influence can be found in the Spending Influence section. While the amount of Influence
you can accrue has no limit, the amount you can
spend on CP is limited by Events attended and per
year. This cap applies to each character separately, in
the case of alts and paying for other players CP. The
cap is +5 CP, with an additional +5 per event attended, with a yearly cap of +15 CP. This means that
if you have not attended an Event in the year, you may
spend enough Influence to gain +5 CP, but after attending a single Event the cap raises to +10 CP. After
the second, and any subsequent event of the year, the
cap is at +15 CP. Years are defined as calendar years,
not from the actual time you have been playing, so this
cap resets every January 1st each year.
Character History Bonus

Writing a character history is by far the most important optional work you can do, and grants the most
CP. It allows plot a deeper understanding of your character, and lets them play with your characters past,
and bring back people that your character might recognize. Character histories must be at least 2-3 pages
long, but have no maximum, and must be submitted
at least 2 weeks before the event, to be considered for
CP. All character histories must be approved before
they can be used, and usually Plot will have suggestions or changes to them, but if your history was sent
in with enough time, you will always get the CP
Award, even if the approval process takes longer. See
the full Character History section for more details.
Starting characters with an approved character history
receive +10 CP to their starting CP total. While this
must be submitted before your first Event, you may
rewrite it, retaining the full CP with the Rewrite Rule,
if you are changing your character. Any character history submitted after attending events lowers the bonus
received. If you submit it before 100 CP, the bonus
changes to +5 CP, between 101 and 200 CP the bonus
is +2 CP, and after 201 CP, the bonus lowers to +1
CP.
Volunteer Credit Bonus

The second form of reward points are Volunteer
Credits. These can also be used to gain CP on characters. The full conversion between Volunteer Credits
and CP and other uses of Volunteer Credits can be
found in the Volunteer Credits section. Again, the
amount of Volunteer Credits you can accrue has no
limit, but the amount you can spend on CP is limited
by Events attended and per year. This cap also applies
to each character separately, in the case of alts and paying for other players CP. The cap is +2 CP, with an
additional +2 per event attended, with a yearly cap of
+5 CP. This works exactly like the influence CP caps,
see the Influence Bonus section for more details
Character History Update Bonus
Every full year and least 6 events (whichever is

more) that you have attended after your character history is approved you may submit a character history
update. This should encompass all events since your
character history, or last update. It should go into detail about every important event that your character
was involved with, and why it was important, and any
changes or adaptations your character has made. You
may do these in a diary form every event, or make
notes and write a complete update when you are ready
to. In general Updates should be at least 2-3 pages
long (though again have no maximum). This bonus
grants between +1 and +5 CP, based on how well done
and thought out the update is, and how much CP
your character is at. These help keep your history relevant if your character manages to survive a while, and
helps you keep track of everything that has happened.
See the full Character History section for more details.
Recruitment Bonus
Recruiting a new player to the game helps greatly
and thus is worth a two-fold bonus. Any player
brought to a Requiem event for the first time grants 25
Influence, whether the new player NPCs or PCs. At
Check In, make sure to bring this up, to gain credit.
In addition, this bonus will grant you a Volunteer
Credit for any new player you have brought to the
game that PCs at least 3 events. This recruitment bonus has no limit on the amount of NPC Credits and
Influence you can receive for recruiting people.

Awards
award includes religiously maintaining it well constantly during the weekend for every Event. This
award can be revoked if the quality of makeup does
not remain consistent.
Award: +4 CP
These are specific starting bonuses to CP that are

given for going above and beyond the basics in a costume, and assisting in creating an excellent atmosphere. These are not guaranteed, and are reserved for
those that go above and beyond normal expectations.
Basically, awards are granted for things we want you
doing anyways, but we are willing to award you CP for
them as well. Awards are usually only granted on the
first or second Event that a character attends, but exceptions can be made.
Exceptional Prosthetics Award
This award is for players that go above and beyond

the normal prosthetic requirements of their race.
Doing up an awesome hair dye/wig and well blended
black ear tips for a Dark Elf, or great ears, tail, contacts, and face prosthetic for a Pure Borne are examples. This is for players that go well beyond the minimum racial requirements and put time and effort into
assisting the atmosphere and look the part of their
race. For a list of prosthetic suppliers, check the Resources section of the Website.
Award: +2 CP
Award Cap
Awards have a cap per character. No matter how
many awards you have, you can only get a maximum
of +7 CP. Just because you are capped does not mean
you shouldnt go above and beyond for costuming
reasons. Other more subtle things will reward you, we
promise.
Exceptional Armor Award
This award is for those that put tons of time into

coming up with in-period, amazing looking armor, or
purchasing the real deal. This is more than normal
armor, but looks impressive (and photo-worthy) and
enhances the atmosphere of the game. Examples of
this are full suits (with extra coverage) of studded and
scaled leathers, real plate and scale armor, and well
done real chain mail. The armor itself does not have to
be made out of totally real materials but must look the
part, be impressive, and be noticeable from a distance.
For a list of armor suppliers, check the Resources section of the Website.
Award: +2 CP
Exceptional Costuming Award
This award considers the players that go above and

beyond and come with an excellent costume. This
award is meant for those that go above and beyond
the normal minimum costume requirements of the
game with an interesting, recognizable, in-period costume which enhances the atmosphere of the game. It
does not have to be historically accurate, but should be
visually impressive, with nothing remotely modern
looking. This is more than just a ren-shirt and pants
and a tabard, but should be photo-worthy, and convey
a sense of the character. For a list of costume suppliers, check the Resources section of the Website.
Award: +2 CP
Exceptional Weapons Award
This award is for those that go above and beyond

the normal weapon phys-rep requirements of the
game. Latex weapons, well crafted elaborate duct tape,
excellent shield designs or covers, and weapon sheaths
and extra weapons all factor into this. This is not an
award for someone with a typical boffer sword and
shield at a game, but those that go well above and
beyond to look the part and enhance the atmosphere
greatly. For example a sword should clearly look like a
sword, including coloring, cross-guard, etc. Remember that all weapons must still pass Weapon Safety
Check as well. For a list of Latex Weapon suppliers,
check the Resources section of the Website.
Award: +2 CP
Exceptional Makeup Award
We understand putting full face paint and devoting time towards your characters appearance can be
annoying. This award is for players that consistently
and awesomely have their face and exposed skin
painted up well (or a mask and paint). The only races
eligible for this have full face paint requirements. This
is for players that put constant and a lot of effort into
their makeup, covering all exposed skin, and doing it
well. This includes well done patterns/highlights, if
your race allows or requires them, and should be photo-worthy, not smudged or poorly done. Part of this

CP Requirements
Racial Requirements
All characters of a race besides Pure-Blooded Human are required to purchase a percentage of their total build towards racial skills and headers. These racials
define the race, and many of the same race may look
down upon you as being strange or weak without
them. The requirements are the same as the NonCombat Requirements. By 50 CP, all characters must
have at least 5 CP spent in racial skills and headers. By
100 CP, all characters must have 10 CP in racial skills
and headers. By 200 CP, all characters must have 20
CP in non-combat skills, and after 200 CP all characters must maintain roughly 10% of their total build in
racial skills and headers. Some skills, such as any with
an Extra Rep requirement, being Award only, certain
optional skills, and skills with downsides to them are
exempt from this requirement. If a character ever
runs out of racial skills and headers to buy he no
longer has to fulfill the 10% quota. Many characters
will have much more than 10% of their total CP in
racials, which is perfectly acceptable. These are merely
the bare minimum. Any exceptions to this rule or
putting off of racials skills must be approved by a
member of Plot, or risk having a random skill removed
for the CP freed up for the racials.
Starting Character
All characters are required to spend a certain
amount of their starting CP in racial skills and racial
headers, and in non-combat skills. Gifted characters
must spend at least 2 CP in non-combat skills, and
Mortal Characters must spend at least 3 CP in noncombat skills at the minimum to start. All characters
are required to start with their races subtype and race
header. Starting characters do not need to spend any
additional build on racial skills besides those headers.
There is no minimum attributes that characters must
have, but keep in mind that every attribute score of 1
has a disadvantage that goes with it, and often it is required to raise attributes to gain certain skills. Other
than non-combat skills, and Must Purchase skills (disadvantages), there are no other restrictions on a starting character. Thought, if a character starts with a
build total of 50 CP or higher, the requirements go
immediately up to 5 CP or higher as shown in the requirements below.
Non-Combat Requirements
All characters are required to purchase a percentage of their total build towards non-combat skills.
These skills generally do not directly help in combat,
and examples of such are Harvesting or Crafting skills.
While hotly debated, we believe that requiring this
forces players to round out their characters well, and
encourages skills that are good for the game. These
skills are clearly marked on the skill matrix with an
(NC) after the skill name. No skill without an (NC) is
a non-combat, even if it sounds like it might be, and
no header is ever considered to be non-combat. By 50
CP, all characters must have at least 5 CP spent in
non-combat skills. By 100 CP, all characters must
have 10 CP in non-combat skills. By 200 CP, all characters must have 20 CP in non-combat skills, and
after 200 CP all characters must maintain roughly
10% of their total build in non-combat skills. Many
characters will have much more than these numbers,
which is perfectly acceptable. These are merely the
bare minimum. Any exceptions to this rule or putting
off of non-combat skills must be approved by a
member of Plot, or risk having a random skill removed
for the CP freed up for non-combat skills.
53

Races
Plot Permission
Certain races require Plot Permission to play, as

they are involved or come with a pretty large stigma.
This is not meant to be something that is not accomplishable, but that you must go over and discuss your
concept with us. Typically brand new LARPers
should avoid these races, though as with anything, exceptions can be made. All characters requiring plot
permission to play will require an approved history to
play, it is not optional. There is extreme caution recommended on any race that requires Plot Permission
to play.
Selection
After learning about CP, and how many you have
to start, you may be anxious to spend CP on Skills and
Attributes, but first we recommend that you choose a
race. Choosing a race is one of the most important
decisions when creating a character, so make sure to
devote some time to doing so. This can really flush
out and define a character. There are 30 different
player races, divided into 10 categories, so there is
plenty of choices and something for everyone. Below
you will find a list and one line description of a race,
then a brief description each race and requirements to
play one. Also, do not forget about the CP Bonus for
playing a race with prosthetics and makeup, if done
well. For much more in depth information about a
specific race feel free to check out the Racial History
section of the Library on the Website. For quick reference to racial skills, you may look at the Races under
the Skill Matrix as well.
Humans
Humans are rare on the world of Nexus, as they
have almost all been wiped out. In fact, Plot does not
recommend you play one! This does not mean they
are not available to play though, so if you feel up to
the challenge or thing it would be the best fit, you are
welcome to try your luck. Keep in mind, all humans
have the ability to be greatly affected by the Plague of
Undeath. The Human subtype header has no available skills, but also has no disadvantages. The PureBlooded (or normal) Human is the only racial header that is free as well, but is severely limited to a skill
selection as well.
Requirements
Please keep in mind the racial requirements when

checking each race out, if makeup is not your thing,
you wouldnt want to end up playing a race with full
makeup. The five general requirements a race has is
makeup, prosthetics, costuming, height and role-play.
On the note of makeup, generally the more makeup
and prosthetics a race has to wear, the more powerful
its racials are. All racial makeup and costuming must
be approved before you can play your first time. Roleplay of a race, while almost never a requirement, defines a large part of the race. Your concept may sound
interesting and cool by itself, but remember that your
character should be able to mesh with the society of
the world, at least on the outside.
Racial Traits
Every race has a couple of different traits they gain

for being that specific race. The first is their sub-type
trait, which is generally the name of their subtype, for
example Human. This trait is stated in the description
of the subtype. Then they receive their race trait,
which is their type, for example: Earthen. All races
except Constructs and Undead receive the Living trait.
Some races, such as Elementals, receive an extra trait,
and it will be noted in their description. The exception to this rule is Possessed, that receives the same
traits as a Pure-Blooded Human instead.
Height
There are a couple races that require a certain
height to play. This includes short requirements for
traditionally smaller races, and tall requirements for
the typically bigger races. This is not meant to be a
hard line in stone, but to convey a sense of realism.
With Plot Permission, you may play a race with a
height requirement if you are not the specific height,
provided you are close to the required height and have
a good reason or an excellent concept.
Half Breeds
Simply said, there is no such thing. Any mating

between two separate races produces a full type of one
of the two races. While you can claim heritage from
multiple races, you will have no extra benefits or disadvantages and will be a full of one type of race. Keep
in mind that many of the different races breed differently or cannot breed at all.

Beast Kin
Chimera
Extremely rare, Chimera are a combination of a
human and multiple animals. Their forms are very
unstable and over the lifetime of a Chimera their animal aspects may change and shift many times, or remain a single combination. It is unknown what causes
the creation of Chimera, as sometimes they are born,
but sometimes a Pure Borne or even in rare cases a
Shifter will become one. They are said to be a blight
upon the Beast Kin for their dealings with Satya. It is a
much feared and horrific fate to become a Chimera in
the Beast Kin culture. See the Beast Kin Racial History on the Website for further details.
Culture & Role-play

Chimera are generally ostracized and considered
insane. The vast majority of Chimera cannot handle
the conflicting aspects of their different primal natures
and become so mad that they cannot be dealt with
rationally. Rarely, a Chimera will, either through luck
or force of will, retain enough sanity to rejoin society.
Due to fear and suspicions of contagion, they are rarely ever accepted by other Beast Kin, though exceptions
have been made.
We are the true chosen ones. Combining

strength, adaptation and specialization
that no one else can mach.
Traits
All Beast Kin have the Beast and Living traits.
Requirements
General Information
Chimera have difficult racial makeup. Chimera are

a constantly shifting group of at least 3 different types
of animals, which all must clearly define a part of the
players makeup. In addition, Chimera must have at
least two or more extra prosthetics that denote their
specific animal choices. These animals can differ or
shift from event to event, but the more this changes
the more mental problems a Chimera is rumored to
have. Unlike Pure Borne and Shifters, Reptiles and
Insects may be part of the blend of races, but at least
one Mammal or Bird must be fully visible. Think of
animals like Manticores or Hippogriffs for inspiration.
Like all races of full colored makeup, no exposed unpainted skin may be visible. You must have specific
Plot permission to play a Chimera character.
The Beast Kin of the world of Nexus always appear to be a mix of human and mammal or bird.
While Chimera sometimes have other creatures, there
is never any purely reptile or insect Beast Kin. As a
people, Beast Kin tend to follow traits and behavior
that mimics their animal halfs nature. While the three
different types of Beast Kin do not always get along
well, individual animal types seem not to matter as
much. There are rumored entire packs of different
animals that live together.
Locale
Often grouped together in packs, Beast Kin tend
to be nomadic and thus can be found on all parts of
Bolterra. Many have recently traveled north to aid in
the war. They often work alongside the Wyld Elves
and aid in the defense of the Wyldwood. The nation
of Therianth, in Southern Bolterra, was the origin of
the Shifters. In recent times, more Shifters and all
Beast Kin have been seen in Northern Bolterra.
Costuming
Chimera generally dress in strange or exotic clothing, often as mismatched as they are. They are often
shrouded in bulky or baggy garments, which are meant
to hide their true natures or unsightly appendages.
56
a= RequieM
Chapter 3 Characters
Pure Borne
Shifter
Oldest of the Beast Kin it is said that Pure Borne

predate the Age of Magic and may be descendants of
the primal beasts that roamed the land during the
dawn of all things. Pure Borne will always appear to be
half human half animal and are unable to shift between forms or animals. Self named, the Pure Borne
consider themselves the highest of all Beasts and Animals. This mindset has prevented interaction with
many of the other races of Nexus until the recent Age.
See the Beast Kin Racial History on the Website for
further details.
Shifters are a relatively new race to Nexus, created

in the past century. Historians state that the nation of
Therianth, located in Southern Bolterra on the edge of
the Wyldwood, made a deal with Satya in order to
overcome the rampant spread of the Plague of Undeath. This granted them the ability to freely change
back and forth between animal and human forms,
similar to their Pure Borne allies. Unlike rumors this
process is slow and often painful. See the Beast Kin
Racial History on the Website for further details.
Culture & Role-play
Shifting is not fast process, and is painful and generally Shifters like to be alone while they shift. It always takes a least a couple minutes. Some shifters embrace their shadowed heritage, but many still scoff the
Mistress of the night and for her other dark dealings,
as they did not ask for the position they are in. Unfortunately with close ties to Satya, few Shifters are ever
really fully trusted by outsiders. Even more tied to the
moon then the Pure Borne, their power and even
mood is closely linked with the phases of the moon
which can widely alter what magics can and cannot
cure their effects.
Culture & Role-play
Because Pure Borne are unable to change they are

the most mentally stable of all Beast Kin. Though this
close ties with a specific beast has its downfalls as well.
Unlike most races, the claws of a Pure Borne prevent
skilled use of most of the other races weapons and
shields. Often organized in nomadic packs or clans,
most of the time they keep to themselves. There are
rumored large get-togethers of Pure Borne called
Moots that strengthen family bonds and make decisions for the good of the whole. With strong ties to the
Green Man, Pure Borne also tied to Satya, and during
times of need they are able to draw upon the power of
the moon.
Requirements
Shifters are animal/human hybrids, and can have

up to three forms. In human form they require no
makeup and look exactly like a human. In hybrid form
they have partial or no makeup, but at least one or two
prosthetics that clearly mark them as not being human. In beast form, they have makeup identical to
Pure Borne, based on their specific animal choice. The
time it takes to shift is the time it takes you, the player,
to adjust your racial makeup accordingly. While in
beast form, like all races of full colored makeup, no
exposed unpainted skin may be visible. Shifters, just
like Pure Borne may be of any Mammal or Bird, but
may not be reptiles or insects.
Requirements
Pure Borne must wear a specific animal themed

full makeup, prosthetics or Plot approved mask on
their exposed skin and face. In addition, Pure Borne
must have at least one or more extra prosthetics that
denote their specific animal choice. These can be Ears,
Horns, Nose, Tail, Wings, Contacts, or anything else
that you can think of that would get the point across.
Pure Borne may be of any Mammal or Bird, but may
not be reptiles or insects. Like all races of full colored
makeup, no exposed unpainted skin may be visible.
Costuming
Costuming
Pure Borne are widely varied in their dress, based

on which animal they are, so be creative in your costume choice. Often they will be clothed in items that
will be comfortable with wings, ears, and tails and
such, preferring to actively flaunt their heritage as opposed to hiding them beneath clothing.
Shifters are also widely varied in their dressed

based on which animal they are, and often have slits
for ears or tail to come through for when they shift.
Some shifters prefer to have different sets of clothing,
one for human form and one for beast form.

Celestials
Etherion
Rumored to be a gift to Humanity in the fight
against the Undead, Etherions origins are widely a
mystery. Most believe these beings of magic were
created by the Great Wyrm Argandris to preserve magic in this broken world. Their ability to channel Magic
is unmatched except perhaps by the Drake Borne
themselves. While Etherion have claws, they are not
true claws in the sense of the word, but more natural
weapons of pure energy. There are rumors of more
powerful Etherion gaining a greater connection with
their claws and gaining great powers. See the Celestial
Culture & Role-play

Some say it is the goal of all Etherion to spread the
wonder of magic throughout the land. Others claim
that they are warriors of magic, meant to mimic the
goals of the Seraphim. Etherions themselves know
very little of their own heritage, and are an eclectic
group, often travelling alone, away from others of their
own kind. While Etherions have the ability to breed
normally, many Etherion has no more than vague recollections of their origins past a certain point in their
lives. It is not true amnesia, but blurred and dreamlike
altered memories. They refer to this memory loss as
Tairius-Krn or loosely translated: The lost years.
We are here and we remain; we will

serve. It is our purpose that defines us
above all others.
Trait
All Celestials except Possessed have the Celestial

and Living traits. Possessed have the Human trait.
General Information
The Celestials are beings born of the primal forces
of Magic and Faith. It is believed that they are the
thoughts and desires of the Deities given form and free
will. Most Celestials serve their patron Deity however
there are some who choose to follow their own path.
It is said that every Celestial created was created for a
specific purpose, and whether known or unknown, is
different for each of them. Since Celestials are one of
the newest races of Nexus, they are finding their own
place here still.
Requirements
Etherion must have metallic colored makeup applied to their skin and face and glowing eyes during
the night. They may optionally wear colored contacts
of either the same metallic color, or the color their eyes
glow at night. The metallic colors acceptable for an
Etherion are silver, gold and copper, and a single solid
color must be used and cannot change throughout an
Etherions life. Like all races of full colored makeup,
no exposed unpainted skin may be visible.
Locale
Costuming
Bound by a common thread of creation, the Celestials are the most varied of the races, with the concepts of Possessed and Seraphim even being in direct
opposition.
Seraphim are scattered throughout
Northern Bolterra, Etherion seem to be more nomadic
and follow the Leylines of Nexus, and Possessed are
always lurking in the shadows,
Being a mix between pure mages and more hybrids, Etherion have varied styles of clothing, with similar themes in common. Flowing robes and close fitting tunics are both common. Etherion often dress in
shades of blue, which is the color of magic, some Etherion seem to shun this, and dress in metallic satins and
cloths that match their skin tones.

a= RequieM
Possessed
Seraphim
Possessed are Demon Spirits who have bound

themselves to a human host in order to enter and then
remain in this world. The process of possession creates
a symbiotic relationship with a human host. It is said
that this process must be done voluntarily. Very rarely
a host with an incredibly strong mind may retain some
control however in most cases the hosts personality is
completely suppressed. There is no known cure for
possession. Although Demons may possess many different forms, Pure Blooded humans are the most
common, due to their susceptibility to such. See the
Celestial Racial History on the Website for further
details.
Seraphim are beings of pure light and order. They

appear to be white-feathered winged humans sheathed
in a glowing halo of light. Created by Rapture to be
soldiers in his fight against Azraal and Maalor upon
Nexus, it is said that they were granted wings to be
able to cross to the Scorched Northern Reaches, where
the Armies of Azraal reside. Seraphim are all generally
completely sworn servants of Rapture, and gain additional powers of the light. See the Celestial Racial
History on the Website for further details.
Culture & Role-play

Seraphim first came to Nexus in what appeared to
be Humanities final moments in the defense of Pinnacle. Most Seraphim believe that they have a purpose
of why they are on Nexus and that their entire life revolves around this purpose. While every Seraphim is
different, there are two main categories, those that
know their purpose and those that do not. It is unclear what separate the two or even if a mortal can actually know it. While some Seraphim are old enough
to remember the battle of Pinnacle, most of the current Seraphim are second generation from the pivotal time of their creation. With Pinnacle behind the
lines, many Seraphim have travelled north to assist in
defense, with the hope that it can be retaken someday.
Culture & Role-play
While a Demon has no free will, some claim that

the act of possession creates a situation where a Demon is not always bound their true master, Azraal.
Others claim that this is but a trick, and is a rumor
spread by the Demons themselves to spread discord.
While possessed are said to be able to follow other deities, this is extremely rare. Unlike even Undead, Demons are to be destroyed on sight or reveal, by edict of
the Church of Light. To merely harbor knowledge of a
Possessed is considered heresy. The mind of a possessed is complex, and the actual amount of control by
either party varies greatly. The main power the demon
spirit has is the ability to end both itself and the hosts
life at will. This makes capturing one impossible.
Requirements
Seraphim must wear feathered wings and a glowing halo. The halo does not have to be raised over your
head, but it may if you wish it to, it must glow at
night. How the player wishes to wear the wings is up
to their imagination but they must clearly protrude
from your back, and be visible from a distance. Most
of the time Seraphims wing feathers are white, but
rare exceptions do exist. You must have specific Plot
permission to play a Seraphim character with different
colored wings than white.
Requirements
Possesseds physical appearance matches that of
humans, it is their RP that defines them. Possessed are
demon spirits permanently fused in a human body.
While possessed can exist as other races, no Player may
play one that is not in a human host. You must have
specific Plot permission to play a Possessed character.
Costuming
Costuming
While a garb of a Possessed often matches in

seamlessly with other humans and no set costuming
gives them away, often a Possessed with wear long
clothing, masking marks on their arms, or other parts
of their body. Some Possessed go the reverse and have
become to actively flaunt their associations with Azraal
in opposition to the Church.
Seraphim tend to dress in light colors to denote

their purity and their clothes are very regal and flowing. Often in pure white, their clothing represents
their statement that they will not hide from the upcoming battles. Some Seraphim also choose to decorate their wings with ornaments, or other items.
59

Constructs
Clockwork
Beings constructed with the knowledge of ancient
technologies, Clockwork posses a crafted body of metal, gears and wires. There is no flesh or living elements
of a clockwork at all, but somehow some of them
manage to gain a spirit. Only clockworks with a spirit
tend to be able to function for any length of time.
Clockworks will often serve their creator, as they constantly are requiring maintenance and upgrades. A
Clockwork without a tinkerer is akin to an adventuring group without a healer. No one really knows how
a Clockwork comes to possess a spirit, and how the
process can be duplicated reliably. Sometimes a different spirit can even inhabit an old, shutdown Clockwork, causing it to reawaken again. See the Construct
What constitutes life? Do I not think?

Do I not feel? Who are you to tell me I
am not alive.
Culture & Role-play
A Clockworks manner of speech, movement even

the way in which they decorate their weapons and personal items tends to have a very mechanical feel to it.
They act in logic circuits and have an artificial intelligence, which does not always process emotions or
more human thoughts very well. Some Clockworks
try hard to emulate other races, and some try just as
hard to stay true to themselves and be completely different. Some Clockworks are built to be machines and
serve, while others are more self supporting.
Trait
All Constructs have the Construct trait and do

not have the Living trait. Elementals have the trait of
the element they are tied to, Air, Earth, Fire, or Water.
General Information
The creation of a construct often varies depending

upon the type. One thing all Constructs hold in common is that they are a combination of a form that has
been crafted or conjured into this world and a spirit
that binds itself to that form, thus anchoring it to this
plane of existence. With strange bodies and different
metabolisms, many constructs are resistant or completely immune to many effects. Many races have had
ancient stigmas against some constructs and have in
the past considered them little better then slaves. Nowadays, it is rare to refuse any aid, , so some of these
prejudices have fallen to the wayside.
Requirements
Clockworks must appear to be mechanical in nature, and accomplish this with visible gears, wiring or
other apparatuses. You must wear a Plot approved
mask or a full face helmet, and may not have any of
your face or hair showing. You may not have visible
skin showing anywhere; it must be covered or painted
with metallic makeup. Imagine a Clockwork as mechanical creature from the Steampunk era of gaming
more so than a modern robot.
Costuming
Locale
Clockworks should not wear any normal clothing

if at all possible. They should have exposed gears, armor plating, primitive lighting systems, steam vents
and lots of wires to cover up any clothing. Feel free to
be creative as you come up with how you wish to do
this, but final costumes need to be approved by Plot.
Without a place of their own, Constructs tend to

remain with whoever brought them into existence, or
they deliberately set out to find their own fortune, and
thus they have spread all over Northern Bolterra.
Sometimes they even find and inhabit places where it
is too dangerous for the Living to survive.
60
a= RequieM
Elemental
Gargoyle
Elementals are most often the result of a being of

energy that is conjured into this world from one of the
four primary elemental planes. Somehow during this
ritual, the Elemental becomes bound to this plane of
existence and gains a spirit. Each Elemental is composed of an elemental type: Air, Earth, Fire, or Water
and sometimes variants of those such as Lightning,
Stone, Magma, or Ice. No one knows what causes
some Elementals to gain a spirit and others not to. No
Elemental without a spirit can remain on this plane for
long. In addition to full Elementals, sometimes a partially formed elemental Motes of Energy are formed,
which is a non-sentient Elemental. See the Construct
Gargoyles are grotesque, silent stone guardians,

animated through divine power. Gargoyles generally
are very quiet, and require specific skills to even be
able to talk at all! Gargoyles are a relatively new race
on Nexus, appearing at the same time as the Seraphim;
in the battle for Pinnacle, they fought with them to
successfully defend the city. No one knows what causes some gargoyles to awaken and others to remain
dormant. Some gargoyles awaken immediately, and
some havent from centuries ago. See the Construct
Culture & Role-play
Since their first awakening, Gargoyles have gravitated towards defending locations and Holy Ground.
Although intelligent, many underestimate them because of their ability to remain silent and motionless
for so long. Often Gargoyles find a shrine, or location
to become their home and to defend. Gargoyles of
Rapture are the most prevalent, although exceptions
do exist. It requires Plot permission to play a Gargoyle
that was awoken by any Deity except Rapture.
Culture & Role-play

Elementals will often choose to travel alongside
the Magus who summoned them however they sometimes break free of their original summons and make
their own way in the world. Elementals require a form
of runic bindings to center their existence on this
Realm. It is rumored that Elementals without spirits or
runic bindings fall into rages at being trapped on this
Realm, and are dangerous. It is also said that Elementals can focus themselves towards accepting great rituals of power.
Requirements
You must wear a Plot approved mask or enough

prosthetics to obscure the outline of your face and
head enough that it is clearly not humanoid. Of these,
you must possess at least an elongated chin and horns
and the entire coloring must appear to be stone. You
may not have any normal hair showing, and must cover it with stone-like cloth mimicking the color of the
mask and the rest of your costume. Optionally some
Gargoyles have stone wings, a tail, or moss covering
parts of them. Like all races of full colored makeup, no
exposed unpainted skin may be visible.
Requirements
Elementals are one of the most difficult races to

makeup and costume. You must wear a Plot approved
mask or enough prosthetics to obscure the outline of
your face and head enough that it is clearly not humanoid. You may not have any normal hair showing with
this mask or prosthetics, and must cover it with strips
of cloth or a veil. Alternatively, you may dye your hair
or wear a wig that is a stark and clearly unnatural color
that fits your element. Like all races of full colored
makeup, no exposed unpainted skin may be visible.
Costuming
Gargoyles should not wear any normal clothing if

at all possible. They should have a uniform stone like
color or pattern that covers their entire body. This
should match your mask or makeup design and convey
a look of uniform carved stone. There are plenty of
pictures of gargoyles to get inspiration from, and feel
free to be creative as you come up with how exactly
you wish to do this, but final costumes need to be approved by Plot.
Costuming
Elementals should not wear any normal clothing if
at all possible. They should have flowing robes, lots of
strips of cloth, carved foam or other appearances of
your element to cover up any clothing. Feel free to be
creative as you come up with how you wish to do this,
but final costumes need to be approved by Plot.
61

Dwarves
Adamant
Created of the metals of the earth, the Adamant
are the most common of all the Dwarves. Said to literally have liquid metal in their veins, Adamant are what
typically comes to mind when someone pictures a
Dwarf. Unmatched, except by perhaps the Trolls of
Azgaard, Adamant possess some of the best Blacksmiths of Nexus. It is said that the forges of
NaeGrum never die down, and that the majority of
the Armor and Weapons used to combat Eramus and
his Legions of Undead come from the Adamant. See
the Dwarf Racial History on the Website for further
details.
Culture & Role-play
The formula for success is simple.

Rise early, work hard, strike Gold.
Adamant are extremely stubborn and can hold a

grudge for years. They tend to focus on one thing and
devote themselves entirely to the exclusion of all else
whether it be an oath of vengeance or committing to a
path of magic. Adamant have many master Blacksmiths and merchants, and are better at dealing with
surface folk then their stony brethren. Due to the
high percentage of Adamant in the Dwarven people, a
vast majority of the Council of Kings, which rules the
Dwarven people, are Adamant. Although not all Adamant worship Ktar, whom they consider their patron
deity directly, it is unheard of for a Dwarf to not pay
some sort of homage to their creator.
Trait
All Dwarves have the Dwarf and Living traits.
General Information
It is said the Dwarves were created by Ktar to
help rebuild the mountains and the earth after the Requiems fall. All Dwarves lives focus around their craft
and their clan, and it is unheard of for a Dwarf not to
be able to create some sort of item. Stout and hearty,
they are literally born of stone or metal of the mountains and the vast majority of them live within the
earth. A new dwarf is created with the Song of Creation deep within a clans mountain, which forms fully
adult body; they are not born naturally from other
Dwarves. Gnomes are said to be a variant of the Song,
given to them by the Fae. Having stayed largely out of
the war, it is only now that the 12 major clans, which
compose the vast majority of Dwarves, have begun to
work with the other races against the Undead legions.
Requirements
Adamant Dwarves must wear beards of black or
red. These beards must be full face, and at least 4 inches in length. Female Adamant may opt instead for
heavy sideburns and/or a small goatee, but are fully
capable of growing a full beard as well. In addition,
Adamant, like all dwarves are short, they may only be
played by players under 59 for males and under 56
for females. See the Height section for more details.
Locale
Due to the current state of the world the majority
of Dwarves have retreated to NaeGrum, the City of
Stone and Steel, which is located deep under the
mountains of Kazamar mountain range in Northern
Bolterra. It is only through the Dwarves generosity
and work with the Church and the Inquisition that
space has been provided for Runevale, above the
Dwarves capital city.
Costuming
Adamant generally dress metals and metallic armor, often wear metallic jewelry and adornments. The
vast majority of all Adamant keep their beards well
maintained, and decorate them with metal jewelry or
beads. It is rare to see an Adamant in non-metal armor, and they tend to shun rich or elegant fabrics in
preference for tough and durable, practical clothing.
62
a= RequieM
Earthen
Gnome
Practical and as enduring as the stone from which

they are created from. Earthen are very resilient with
hardened skin and bone like that of granite. It is said
that Earthen are as patient and tough as the mountains
themselves. The rarest of the Dwarves, it is even rarer
to see an Earthen that habitually resides above ground.
Earthen have such a strong connection with Nexus
that they can get physically sick if they go prolonged
periods of time without their feet touching the ground
itself. This makes sea travel next to impossible, and
often an Earthens home has no floor. See the Dwarf
Perhaps the most adventurous of all Dwarves,

Gnomes tend to be very curious and inventive. It is
said that Gnomes are responsible for excavating and
rediscovering many of the ancient lost technology of
Nexus. Natural born tinkerers, they are constantly fiddling with new improvements to things, much to
the annoyance of others. Gnomes are said to have
strong ties with the Fae, and resemble them slightly.
Dwarven lore states that Gnomes are created with a
variant of the Song of Creation that was gifted to the
Dwarves by the Fae for an ancient debt. This makes
Gnomes more recent of a race, but their exact origins
are still lost in the Ages. See the Dwarf Racial History
on the Website for further details.
Culture & Role-play

Less fiery than their Adamant brothers, Earthen
tend to look at the big picture. Isolationists by nature,
it is rare for surface dwellers to meet Earthen often.
This has caused friction in the past, but were it not for
the situation of present, the Dwarves would not be
able to provide the assistance they have. Earthen have
many master Rune Carvers and consider there to be an
art in their work. Their nature seems to make any
deep study of magic or divine spells impossible, but
they seem to be able to learn the simpler ones easily.
Culture & Role-play

The vast majority of the Steeltongue clan,
Gnomes seem to just enjoy building things, and tinkering more than any other race. This has led to most
of Clockworks having gnomish craftsman as builders.
Misunderstood, they tend to find solace in their creations and bury themselves in work. Some of the
wondrous items they create rival anything possible
even with magic. Unlike their gruff cousins, Gnomes
tend to get along better with other races, and are the
most likely to react positively to surface dwellers.
Requirements
Earthen must have grey makeup applied to their

exposed skin and face as well as grey or white beards.
These beards must be full face, and at least 2 in
length. Female Earthen may opt instead for heavy sideburns and/or a small goatee, but they are fully capable of growing a full beard. In addition, Earthen, like
all dwarves are short, they may only be played by players under 59 for males and under 56 for females.
See the Height section for more details. Like all races
of full colored makeup, no exposed unpainted skin
may be visible.
Requirements
Gnomes must wear extra long pointed ears, that

are clearly longer then elves, of at least 4 inches in
length. In addition, Gnomes must also wear a big or
long nose prosthetic of some sort. Optionally they may
wear side burns, and/or a goatee that shows their
Dwarven heritage. In addition, Gnomes, like all
dwarves are short, they may only be played by players
under 59 for males and under 56 for females. See
the Height section for more details.
Costuming
Costuming
Earthen generally dress in earthen and grey colors,

and often wear stone jewelry and adornments. Most
Earthen take great pride in their beards, and decorate
them with stone jewelry or beads. Some even don armor made of stone itself, and decorating their armor,
weapons and even clothing are both magical and nonmagical runes.
Gnomes generally dress in fun and interesting

clothing, which portrays their creative side. Unlike
Adamant and Earthen, Gnomes prefer loose fitting
leathers, and other clothing, often containing many
pockets. Some gnomes even wear aprons, goggles and
tool belts all the time, never knowing when they will
come in handy.
63

Elves
Dark Elf
A nocturnal race whose society mirrors that of the
Sun Elves, Dark Elves strength tends to diminish each
day and return again each night. Unlike rumors, Dark
Elves do not dwell underground. In fact, they have
such a strong connection with the night that they can
get physically sick if they go prolonged periods of time
without being able to see the stars. Most Dark Elves
reside in Krynth, home to the Court of the Stars,
which composes the most honored Dark Elves, though
recently they have had more contact with the other
races. There are always 12 governing members of Dark
Elves on the Radial Council, who guide the path of
the Elves in the Darkness, led by the title of Midnight.
Many Dark Elves are intensely magical, and have resistance to Magic based spells. See the Elf Racial History
Perhaps the greatest folly of Nexus is

the term ownership. How do you own
land? When the world sees the error of
this, we will be here to teach them.
Culture & Role-play

Dark Elf society is harsh and unforgiving, where
ones honor and face mean everything. Almost all
Dark Elves are split amongst the 5 main ruling houses,
which are intensively competitive with each other. To
be a Quelvah, which translates to outcast, and not
have a house is a great dishonor. From birth, Dark
Elves are trained in mental and physical warfare, culminating in a 5 year Academy, where all Dark Elves
enter from the ages of thirteen to eighteen. Although
rumored to have a matriarchal society, the gender of a
Dark Elf matters not, and is rarely ever brought up,
and thus there as many women leaders as men.
Trait
All Elves have the Elf and Living traits.
General Information
Called the children of the Green Man, it is said

that the Elves were created when the Fae left this
Realm. Most Elves have made it their mission in life
to protect the forests and the natural world. Although
once said to be immortal, elves have natural lifespans
similar to all other races, but they just do not show age
until the day they die. Once a unified front, the Elves
have been divided greatly over the past century. With
a ruling government called the Radial Council, 24
elves govern both the Court of Sun and Court of Stars.
Requirements
Dark Elves must have black makeup applied to

their exposed skin and face as well as pointed ears. In
additional dark elves hair is always silver or white in
color. Dark elves are the only elves that may have optional facial hair, but it must be colored white/silver to
match their hair. Like all races of full colored makeup,
Locale
In recent times the Elves have been sorely tested

by the tide of Undead and have had to withdraw their
forces from the now corrupted northern forests, and
mostly reside in the Southern Wyldwood, but have
been seen everywhere. The fortress cities of Krynth
and Illyth, now rebuilt and moved south, are two of
the few remaining cities still standing. Recently more
and more Elves have been seen in Northern Bolterra,
though their purpose there is unknown.
Costuming
Dark Elves generally dress in colors that blend in

at night; generally black, shades of blue and/or grayscales. In addition, most Dark Elves proudly display
the colors and symbol of their House, as badge of
Honor in Dark Elven society.
64
a= RequieM
Sun Elf
Wyld Elf
With an intense tie to the sunlight, Sun Elves

strength tends to diminish each night and return again
each day. In fact, they have such a strong connection
with the day that they can get physically sick if they go
prolonged periods of time without being in direct sunlight. More peaceful and scholarly than their Dark Elf
cousins, Sun Elves spend entire portions of their lives
collecting and categorizing knowledge. The majority
of Sun Elves reside in Illyth, home to the Court of the
Sun, the elite and eldest of the Sun Elves. There are
always 12 governing members of Sun Elves on the
Radial Council, who help guide the path of the Elves
in the Light, led by the title of Zenith. Many Sun
Elves are intensely religious, and have resistance to
Faith based spells. See the Elf Racial History on the
Website for further details.
Wyld Elves tend to shun the typical trappings of

civilization, instead preferring to become closer to the
Green Man directly. Of all the Elves, they are the
most connected to the forests and have a very tribal
and nomadic culture. Over the last century they have
fought to defend the Wyldwood from the relentless
tide of Undead with the Fae. Wyld Elves generally
have no love of politics, and have deferred rule of the
Radial Council of the Sun and Dark Elves. Due mostly to the efforts of the Wyld Elves, the Wyldwood is
one of the few refuges left in this war-torn world,
though recently this is even in jeopardy. See the Elf
Culture & Role-play
The Wyld Elves reside mostly in the southern

Wyldwood, though anywhere there are forests in Bolterra it is likely to encounter at least a small number of
them. Composed mostly of Druids, Rangers and
Scouts, it is almost unheard of that a Wyld Elf would
not worship the Green Man. With some of best archers of Nexus, often others will travel far or wide for
the sought after Elven Bows, which Wyld Elves craft
out of special Sylvan Timber. Wyld Elves have a special connection with plants allowing them to grow and
shape entire villages without having to resort to cutting
down trees. With the Heart of the Wood being
moved, and the Wyldwood weakened, so have the
Wyld Elves. Frailer than their cousins, rumor has it
that Wyld Elves are a slowly dying race.
Culture & Role-play

In Sun Elf society, the pursuit of knowledge is
everything. With the destruction of the Great Library
in the old city of Illyth it has been their goal to rebuild
it. Writing a book accepted into the new Library is
considered to be one of the highest honors awarded to
a Sun Elf. Unlike the Dark Elves, there are hundreds
of different Houses, which work together in tandem.
Often these houses are named after Birds, Plants, and
other aspects of Nature. Sun Elves have cultivated
great gardens, and have been rumored to grow plants
as strong as metal, and trees into direct houses.
Requirements
Sun Elves must have pointed ears and no facial

hair. In addition they have bright blond or bright gold
colored hair or a wig. Optionally, Sun Elves haves
bright white, yellow or gold contacts to enhance their
appearance.
Requirements
Wyld Elves must wear pointed ears and have no

facial hair. They are also able to use War Paint, which
is a big part of the Wyld Elf culture. Part of the requirement of a Wyld Elf is their costume, instead of
any face paint.
Costuming
Sun Elves often dress in whites, golds, yellows and

other colors of light and brightness. It is rare to see a
Sun Elf in a lot of armor, but when they do, they prefer brightly shined armor. Often a Sun Elf will have a
sash or small symbol over his heart that depicts house.
Subtlety and elegance in clothing choice show status in
Sun Elf culture, and often two Elves will know a lot
about each other merely by their clothing choices.
Costuming
The costume of a Wyld Elf is generally what signifies him or her. Wyld elves generally dress in earth
tones and greens that blend in with the forest. Many
Wyld Elves adorn themselves with leaves and leaf-like
jewelry, or animal furs, feathers, teeth, and other paraphernalia. From a distance, it should be clear with
costuming that you are a Wyld Elf.
65

Fae
Satyr/Nymph
Called Satyrs for the male version, and Nymphs
for the female version, this rambunctious race are
known for their passion of life. It is said that they
were created when Changelings of old stayed on Nexus
for too long, most often because of festivals or celebrations. Satyrs and Nymphs always come into this world
as Mortals and they understand that time on this plane
is limited. The most vibrant of the Fae, it is said they
were offered the gift of immortality and turned it
down, as it would be a bore. See the Fae Racial History on the Website for further details.
Culture & Role-play
Satyrs and Nymphs goal is to live life to the fullest

and that they should see and learn as much as possible
in the time that they have here. They tend to take
great pleasure in life and all parts of living. Often
talkative and persuasive, these Fae tend to do well in
groups and with social interactions. Typically relying
on their wits and likability to get them through situations, there is a subset of Satyrs and Nymphs that believe that the only way to experience Nexus is to fight
in the battle for it. Of course this does not stop them
from enjoying it as well, with a weapon in one hand
and a stein of Dwarven Ale in the other. With an extreme, almost limitless, fondness for alcohol, even the
stout Giant Kin and Dwarves cant hold their liquor as
well as a Satyr or Nymph on a bad day.
You will never do anything in this

world without courage. It is the greatest
quality of the mind next to honor.
Traits
All Fae have the Fae and Living traits.
General Information
The Fae are beings who were originally tied to

nature, but now have branched off into different aspects. Fae have three major stages in their lives, Childling, Youngling, and Elderling. Most Fae are Younglings, which are sent off from the Realms of Order or
Chaos to Nexus without a memory of their past. The
Fae do this in order to have their Younglings learn,
grow and discover their true selves. When a Fae accomplishes something significant on Nexus, they are
then allowed into a Court, and become an Elderling of
their race, and are granted additional powers.
Requirements
Nymphs/Satyrs must wear small horns on their

forehead, as well as pointed ears much like elves. These
horns generally curve upwards if at all and are usually
2 or less. Any exposed legs must be covered in fur, or
they may wear fur leggings instead of pants. Optionally they may wear hooves instead of boots or shoes, and
glitter on their cheeks.
Locale
Costuming
Fae reside in either the court of Order or the

Court of Chaos which are separate from this world in
much the same way the Elemental Planes are. On the
Realms of Chaos and Order is the Grand city of Avalon, where all Fae reside, different from the rest of the
Realm. Avalon is said to exist in both Realms simultaneously, though its exact mechanics are unknown.
Satyrs and Nymphs generally dress in wild or

flamboyant colors that show off their love of life, and
like any jewelry that makes noise, especially bells.
They frequently go pant-less, showing off their fur legs
and hooves. When they wear armor, they tend to prefer leathers, and are known for decorating their clothing with artistic flair.

Sprite/Pixie
Treant/Dryad
The most magic oriented of the Fae, almost all

Sprites (males) and Pixies (females) are of capable of
some kind of magic. Whimsical and flighty, Sprites
and Pixies are found in every section of the world of
Nexus. With a short attention span, and a desire to
explore new places, it is rare for a Spire or Pixie to settle down anywhere for too long. The most agile of all
the flying races, Sprites or Pixies are seeing flying almost anywhere. With their extremely small size, it is
rare that they are able to use any but the smallest of
the other races weapons are armor, but are often agile
enough to make up for this. Sprites and Pixies are
fully intelligent and should not be confused with Faeries, which are unintelligent versions of Fae. See the
Fae Racial History on the Website for further details.
Despite rumors that they are two different races,

male Treants and female Dryads are a single race of
Fae. They are the most nature oriented of any race
except possibly the Wyld Elves. It is said that at some
point, all Fae exclusively worshipped the Green Man,
and were solely nature oriented, and Treants and
Dryads are what became of the ancient Changelings
that choose to the dwell in the forests instead of returning to Avalon. Treants and Dryads resemble
plants and trees in appearance, and are almost exclusively found in a forest setting. Thought little more
than a myth up until a century ago, they have become
much more visible in the war, and now can be found
all over Bolterra. See the Fae Racial History on the
Website for further details.
Culture & Role-play
Culture & Role-play
Sprites/Faeries are very adventurous and often

found assisting various adventuring groups and explorers. They often lean towards professions that require
dexterity as they tend to be very agile. It is said that
the dust of Sprite or Pixie can instantly put anyone to
sleep, as a defense mechanism. Natural loners, it is
rare to see Sprites or Pixies in large groups, though it is
rumored a large city of them once existed in Ages past.
An elusive race, it was rare to see one at all before

the Age of Conflict, when they emerged from the
Wyldwood in great numbers to help defend the forests
of the corrupting influence of the Undead. Like the
Wyld Elves, it is rumored that with the devastation of
the Wyldwood and moving of the Heart of the Wyld,
Dryads and Treants have been weakened and are slowly dying out. Recently, more Treants and Dryads have
been seen in the forests of Northern Bolterra. With an
affinity to plants, many of their abilities mimic plants,
including literally rooting themselves into the earth, to
have a greater connection with the Green Man, which
Treants and Dryads almost exclusively worship.
Requirements
Sprites and Pixies must wear glitter on their exposed skin and face as well as pointed ears similar to
elves. In addition, all Sprites and Pixies must wear insect or unfeathered wings. How the player wishes to
wear the wings is up to their imagination but they
must clearly protrude from your back, and be visible
from a distance. Most of the time Sprites wings are
translucent and mimic those of insects found in nature, like a butterfly, moth or dragonfly, but rare exceptions do exist. Sprites are short, they may only be
played by players under 59 for males and under 56
for females. See the Height section for more details.
Requirements
Treants and Dryads must have green hair, full

plant or bark designs on their exposed skin and face, as
well as pointed ears similar to Elves. Any facial hair
that a player has must be green as well. Usually a
Treant or Dryad has a cohesive theme for a specific
plant instead of random amalgamation of different
plants. Like all races of full colored makeup, no exposed unpainted skin may be visible.
Costuming
Costuming
Sprites and Pixies generally wear light colors, often

pastels or very bright floral colors. They will usually
wear colors that match their bright and colorful wings.
Generally unarmored, Sprites tend to shun cumbersome armor in favor of greater mobility and dexterity.
Treants and Dryads generally dress in earth tones

and greens and may wear vines or leaves on their clothing. Often they will incorporate wood into any armor
or weapons they possess as well.
67

Giant Kin
Ogre
Ogres are incredibly strong, even more so than
other Giant Kin. It may be impossible to catch an
Ogre unarmed as they are capable of ripping small
trees straight from the ground to use as clubs. In addition the strength of their blows is often so jarring that
it is folly to even try and block their swings. Traditionally, an Ogre family is led by a Shaman, who through
worshiping Dias, is given prophetic dreams. These
shamans all follow the High Shaman, or OrlockTi,
which is the Avatar of Dias. It is said that some of the
Ogres foresaw the destruction of Azgaard, and migrated directly to the Dreamscape to avoid Aztaals
wrath. See the Giant Kin Racial History on the Website for further details.
The harder the conflict, the more

glorious the triumph.
Culture & Role-play

Ogres live in small family dens with a shamanic
based society. They have strong ties to Dias, and are
said to follow wherever their dreams take them. Rarely, an Ogre devoted towards Dias can actually grow a
second head, which is rumored to see into Dreamscape
itself. Often living in caves in the past, recently, they
have become more nomadic as food has gotten scarcer.
While many Ogres have taken up arms in the fight
against Azraal and Maalor, some have resorted to becoming bandits instead. There have also been sightings
of strange blue-skinned Ogres and Ogres with a single
eye, but more information is lacking.
Traits
All Giant Kin have the Giant and Living traits.
General Information
Most Giant Kin are survivors hailing from the
continent Azgaard, which is now referred to as the
Scorched Northern Reaches. All Giant-Kin are large
humanoids of varying features; however they all share
in a desire to find glory in combat. With being the
strongest of the races on Nexus, they rumored to be
descendants of the Titans themselves. Giant Kin are
often mentally stunted or slow, and thus are vulnerable
to Psions and other tricks of the Mind. Generally
combined into large clans or war parties, a group of
charging Giant Kin is a sight to behold. Bringing their
war-like culture to Bolterra with them, sometimes this
has caused friction with the other races, when their
attention is not against the Undead.
Requirements
Ogres must wear yellow makeup on their exposed
skin and face, as well as tusks on their lower canine
teeth. They may optionally wear small horns that
curve upwards if at all and are 2 or less. Ogres are tall,
like all Giant Kin, they may only be played by players
over 60 for males and over 59 for females. See the
Height section for more details. Like all races of full
colored makeup, no exposed unpainted skin may be
visible.
Locale
When Rapture interfered in mortal affairs, Azraal
retaliated in force. The Demon invaded and destroyed
Azgaard, the native soil of the Giant Kin, a continent
to the north. After having to abandon their homeland
they have largely settled in northern Bolterra and fight
to hold back both the Tide of the Undead and the
Legions of Azraal. It is a goal of all Giant Kin to eventually retake the Scorched Northern Reaches.
Costuming
Ogres tend not to be picky about their clothing,
and generally wear whatever armor or clothing is available and fits. Often connecting their armor with
chains or retrofitting other suits to their use, as there
large size often makes finding fitted armor difficult.
68
a= RequieM
Orc
Troll
Even more warlike than other Giant Kin the Orcs

show their true strength in combat. Amazingly persistent they are able to push past most defenses in order
to overcome their enemies. Tasked by the Fae, in Ages
past to guard the roots of the Heart of the Wyld, Orcs
have Fae blood in their veins. This is rumored to have
saved them when whatever consumed the Minotaurs
with Rage attempted to do the same with Orcs. Orcish Berserkers are considered especially dangerous as
Orcs are all but unable to shake off the effects of a berserking rage once it has taken hold of them. It should
be pointed out that armies have laid down their arms
and surrendered after hearing only an Orc war clans
opening battle cry. See the Giant Kin Racial History
Trolls are extremely tough and able to stand up to

obstacles that would crush other races. Considered the
Heartiest of the Giant Kin, Trolls are unmatched in
the raw ability to take punishment in the Realm. It is
said that the Trolls are a distant cousin to the demonic
Dark Trolls; in an ancient battle between Rapture and
Azraal, the Dark Trolls descended on Rapture, and the
blood spilt created a new breed of Troll. Often
ashamed of their demonic heritage the majority of
Trolls loyally follow Rapture. Another interesting
thing about Trolls is their ability to regenerate is far
more prominent than in other Giant Kin, even allowing them to regenerate a maimed limb or even fully
recover from near death with a short rest. See the
Giant Kin Racial History on the Website for further
details.
Culture & Role-play
Culture & Role-play
Orcish society is very clan based. They possess

strong territorial instincts, and to cross an Orc is said
to invoke the wrath of the entire clan. Clans are led by
the strongest, and leadership is challenged whenever a
leader grows complacent, or a younger Orc believes he
can best the Chieftain in single combat. Recently, stirrings of the Ironfist clan in the lands around the Kazamar Mountains have been said to be a worry for the
town of Rulevale. It is said their Warlord, Ohm, is
brutal and unforgiving, and he is said to have the
blessing and tactics of Kade himself.
Trolls are race that values honor and reputation

highly and most would rather die than face dishonor.
Master Armorsmiths, they rival even the Dwarves in
their ability to create suits of Battle Atmot. It is rumored that once Trolls had the ability to craft suits of
War Armor, stronger than anything available in the
current Age, but the skills were lost when Azgaard was
destroyed.
Requirements
Trolls must wear brown or dark red makeup on

their exposed skin and face, as well as curved ram-like
horns. These horns must be greater than 3 in length
and must visibly curve in an inward spiral. Trolls are
tall, like all Giant Kin, they may only be played by
players over 60 for males and over 59 for females.

Requirements
Orcs must wear green makeup on their exposed

skin and face, as well as pointed ears. They may optionally wear tusks on their lower canine teeth. Orcs
are tall, like all Giant Kin, they may only be played by
players over 60 for males and over 59 for females.
may be visible.
Costuming
Costuming
Trolls are rarely ever found without armor, and

usually wear lots of it. A Trolls suit of Armor is something they cherish and maintain above all else. Trolls
tend to decorate their armor with runes, symbols and
other ways to make it more intimidating. They generally dress in uncomplicated and unsophisticated clothing, which will help pad their heavy armor.
Orcs generally dress much like barbarians, shunning metal armor, and tending to wear leathers and
furs. Often Orcs wear trophies of those that they have
killed in combat. An Orc wearing Red is the color of a
Blood feud, and is considered to be incredibly dangerous as there is no reasoning with them in that state.
69

Humans
Pure-Blooded
Pure-blooded humans are normal humans in every
way, from noble to peasant, merchant to soldier. Many
of the other races view them with suspicion as they are
very susceptible to becoming infected with the Plague
of Undeath. The many fallen nations of Galvoria were
home for many different and diverse cultures, all of
which have slowly deteriorated and retreated into
Northern Bolterra. With the only the strength of the
Church and Inquisition left, Humans are forced to ally
with the other races, to attempt to save themselves
from complete annihilation. See the Human Racial
Culture & Role-play

Pure-blooded humans are widely varied in characteristics, cultures and mannerisms, based on the specific land they were from, and their upbringing. The
most diverse race of Nexus, Humans are becoming
rarer and rarer on the world of Nexus, and this influences their actions. Unfortunately, with their susceptibility to becoming Possessed and Undead, even the
humans that are fighting the tyranny of Eramus and
his Legions are often distrusted or worse, actively hostile against. While the Church is still predominately
humans, many other races have flocked to the Light of
Rapture since the war began.
The sins of the father revisited upon

the children. We will not waver; our path
is known to us now.
Traits
All Humans have the Human and Living traits.
General Information
For over a thousand years, the Galvorian Empire

ruled the land in prosperity and peace. That all
changed, when the 3 sons of the old King, in an attempt to find a cure for their father, unleashed the
Plague of Undeath and became the Avatars of Maalor,
and declared war on the living. Once the most populous and dominant races of Nexus, the past century of
war, famine, and plague has brought Humans to the
brink of extinction. Those who are left, still attempt to
rally others to their cause to combat against the Brothers. With both the Galvorian Empire and the Allied
Empire both collapsed, it is up to the remaining stragglers and the Church of Light to attempt to maintain a
defense again the legions of Undead.
Requirements
Pure blooded humans require no racial makeup or

particular costuming, although you must still look in
period. Plot does not recommend that you play a human in Requiem. They are considered a dying breed,
and are generally extra vulnerable to both Demons and
Undead.
Costuming
Pure-blooded Humans are diverse and dress, in
many types of period clothing and armor. The colors
of the Church of Light and Inquisition are white and
blue, and often humans wear this to show their devotion. From the furs of the mountainous regions, light
cottons of the islands and plains, and sturdy leathers of
the forests, there are different clothing choices that suit
each of the Human cultures. Feel free to be creative
with your costume choices.
Locale
Largely scattered throughout the world, Humanity
survives in small groups and settlements. Other than
the one human city of Pinnacle humanity has no safe
place left in this world.
70
a= RequieM
Barbarian
Displaced
Barbarians are a race composed of many different

tribes of Humans who live in the wilds and tend to be
more robust than their Pure-Blooded cousins. With a
connection with the Green Man, Aveena, Dias, and
other Deities, most Barbarians do not worship Rapture. They have done better than the Pure-Blooded,
and the surviving barbarian tribes are either extremely
skilled at hiding or have developed tactics that allow
them to escape the waves of Undead. Rumor has it
that their tough ways of living make them less susceptible of the Plague, but that has not been proven. See
the Human Racial History on the Website for further
details.
When afflicted with the Plague of Undeath, a

small percentage of Humans fight off the infection and
are not turned Undead. These humans seem to have
had their humanity stripped from their very soul. Although they recover physically, this recuperation is not
complete and they are changed mentally and emotionally by the Plague. Turned cold and emotionless, Displaced become a different person then before the disease. Often shunning others, they tend to be loners or
outcasts that survive day to day. The very act of people
showing extreme emotions around a Displace can agitate them, as they cannot relate to it at all. See the
Human Racial History on the Website for further details.
Culture & Role-play
Culture & Role-play
Although less civilized then Pure-Bloods, the barbarian culture has been a boon in helping them survive
a ravaged and war torn world. There are many tribes
spread out over the world but they all tend to be nomadic and live off the land. The majority of all barbarians hail from Morgoth, the closest continent to Bolterra, which was once a rich and untamed land. When
Morgoth was shrouded in darkness and became the
Isle of Eternal Night, many fled for the shelter of the
light on Bolterra. Those that remained are left alone,
but hunted for sport by the Vampire Lords. This has
caused them to become even hardier and the Morgothians are known for their unmatched battle prowess.
It is said that there are two options when infected

with the Plague of Undeath, to become a monster or
just be turned Undead. This portrays the sentiment
that becoming Displaced is considered a fate worse
than death. Often survivors will first attempt to stay
with those they used to love and care about before becoming Displaced, but soon realize that things are not
the same, for they have lost everything that makes
them Human. This usually drives them away from
those they used to care about, as they cannot feel what
those around them are telling them they should feel.
As often as continuing the fight against the Undead, a
Displaced is just as likely to become a bandit, murder
or worse, as they feel no remorse or guilt for their actions.
Requirements
Barbarians require no racial makeup. They are

also able to use War Paint, which is a big part of the
Barbarian culture. Part of the requirement of a Barbarian is their costume, instead of any face paint.
Requirements
Displaced require no racial makeup, however their
RP is difficult. You must exhibit no emotions, as you
have lost your humanity. You cannot show passion,
joy, anger, sadness, love or any other feeling. Think of
examples like Spock, or a Robotic personality for examples.
Costuming
The costume of a Barbarian is generally what signifies him or her. They generally are garbed in wild
and earthen tones. They wear the furs of beasts and
leather goods that they have made themselves or taken
from their kills. Bones, Skulls, Feathers and other aimal items are considered sacred in Barbarian culture,
and often adorn the clothing of their elders or mystics.
Barbarians often shun metal, or metal crafted armor.
From a distance, it should be clear with costuming
that you are a Barbarian.
Costuming
Displaced Humans dress plain and uninteresting

clothing, choosing bland colors without patterns. Often they will don the clothes of fallen allies or enemies,
as a practicality, which can unnerve other people that
they travel with.
71

Reptilians
Drake Borne
Drake Borne, also known as The Brood of Argandris, are a magical race said to have existed since
the time of the Titans. Drake Borne have exclusively
blue scales, that is said to resemble the Great Wyrm
himself. Typically a nomadic race, that follow the Leylines of the world, recently, more of them have been
seen in Northern Bolterra. Whether they are aiding in
the fight against the Undead, or other purposes is unknown, as they rarely explain themselves to outsiders.
See the Reptilian Racial History on the Website for
further details.
Culture & Role-play
Extremely arrogant, Drake Borne often consider

many of the other races of less importance, and blame
Humans completely for the state of the world. They
are said to have a society that focuses upon learning
and the study of magic. Every Drake Borne is expected
to learn at least some magic in their culture, or risk
being shunned. Rumor has it that none but Etherions
themselves can rival the true power of Drake Borne in
the schools of magic. Unlike the humans, Drake
Borne seem to naturally pick up entire paths, spheres
and schools, with the barest effort. It is said to be an
Elder of the race, one must be excel as a ritual caster.
What the warm-bloods dont know is

that with all of that energy saved we

possibly imagine.
Traits
All Reptilians have the Reptile and Living traits.
General Information
Requirements
Little is known of the Reptilian races. Secretive

and often living in small groups they rarely traveled
amongst the other races until recently. All Reptilians
claim ties to the ancient Dragons, Drakes and Wyverns of Ages past. Although each of the Reptilians are
very different from each other, they share a common
bond. Unlike the warm-blooded races, Reptilians are
cold blooded and egg-laying. With strong, protective
scales, Reptilians have little to no use for armor.
Drake Borne must wear a blue scaled pattern of

makeup, prosthetics or a plot approved mask on their
exposed skin and face. In addition, Drake Borne have
long strait horns or spikes, of at least 2 in length, generally pointing strait up or back following the slope of
their forehead or sides of their head. Drake Borne are
tall, they may only be played by players over 60 for
males and over 59 for females. See the Height section
for more details. Like all races of full colored makeup,
Locale
There are different tribes of Reptiles are spread
throughout Nexus living in varied climates. Ironically,
many of the Reptilians seem to have settled into many
of the areas that other races find inhospitable. From
the harsh mountains of the Hand of Ktar, the searing
heat of the Crimson Sands, and the frigid temperatures
of the Arctic Southern Reaches, Reptilians are not only
found on Bolterra, but supposedly on all the known
continents.
Costuming
Drake Borne generally shun armor in favor of

their natural armor they get with their scales. They
often dress regally, favoring flowing robes with stark
color contrasts, with the main color of all their vestments being exclusively blue. Often they adorn themselves in runes and draconic symbols as well. The Staff
is the Drake Borne weapon of choice.

a= RequieM
Lizardman
Slith
Lizardman are the most resilient and able to adapt

to their environment the most out of all races of Nexus. The Red Lizardmen of the Crimson Sands, the
White Lizardmen of the Southern Arctic Reaches and
the Green Lizardmen of the Wyldwood are the three
known tribes of Lizardmen. See the Reptilian Racial
Snakelike, and always talking in whispers, these

Reptilians are extremely secretive. There is very little
concrete actually known about them in recent times.
Rumored to hail from tall mountainous regions, such
as the Hand of Ktar, that rumor is unconfirmed, as it
is a penalty of death to lead outsiders to a Slith home.
Many think this might be an untapped resource to
bring to bear against the Undead, but if it is such, the
Slith are not talking. Rumors speak of a cult of Slith
assassins that work closely with the Dark Elves of
House Serpentine. See the Reptilian Racial History on
the Website for further details.
Culture & Role-play
Each tribe has its own customs and ways. The Red
Lizardman come from a harsh desert climate, and
many have since migrated south when the GulDrac
Mountains were destroyed. It is said that the Red Lizardmen have the most experience in dealing with the
Worms. The Green Lizardman hail from swamp and
forest regions, and many have fled north with the corruption of the Wyldwood. While forests used to be
teaming with Green Lizardman, they are rarer now,
and it is rumored that they are slowly dying out.
White Lizardman are from a frigid snowy climates,
where they seem to thrive. A dying race of only females, it is a mystery where the males of the race went,
as many White Lizardman remember little to none of
their past, in the same way a Fae do not recall their
own past. This has many thinking that somehow the
Fae are involved.
Culture & Role-play

Back in the Age of Myth, it is said that there was a
Great War in which Satya cursed a flight of Drakes to
nevermore walk or fly in Nexus. It is unclear what
exactly has transcribed since then, but there are accurate historical records that show for thousands of years
Slith had no legs. It is only recently in the Age of
Magic that Slith have somehow regained the use of
them. While quiet, the wrath of an angered Slith is
without match. It is said that to cross a Slith is to invite a deadly response. Their Homeland, culture, and
habits are generally unknown to most other races and
even some of the Slith themselves.
Requirements
Requirements
Lizardman must wear a scaled pattern of makeup,

prosthetics or a plot approved mask on their exposed
skin and face. Lizardman must have horns or spikes
protruding from their skin of 1 or less. The scales
must be all of the same color, and there are three different colors denoting the specific types of Lizardman.
Red, Green and White are the three available colors
for Player Characters. Additionally, White Lizardman
can be only played by female players. You must have
specific Plot permission to play a White Lizardman.
Like all races of full colored makeup, no exposed unpainted skin may be visible.
Slith must wear a snake scaled pattern of makeup,

prosthetics or a plot approved mask on their exposed
skin and face. In addition, Slith must have fangs on
their upper canine teeth. Optionally, some Slith players choose to use reptilian contacts to enhance their
appearance. Slith must be of a specific snake type that
has a pattern, and must visibly distinguish themselves
from Lizardman. Slith may not have solid Blue,
Green, White, Red or Black colored scales without a
pattern. Like all races of full colored makeup, no exposed unpainted skin may be visible.
Costuming
Slith generally shun armor in favor of their natural

armor they get with their scales. They generally dress
for stealth, and prefer camouflaging to whatever environment they are in. They often favor blacks and covering most of their face in shrouds or wraps.
Costuming
Lizardmen generally dress in simple and uncomplicated clothing, and generally shun weapons and
armor in favor of their razor sharp claws and armored
scales they possess naturally.

Undead
Ghoul
Resembling half rotten corpses Ghouls are the
most common form of awakened Undead. In the same
family of Undead as Zombies and Liches, Ghouls are
intelligent, but unable to raise the fallen with magic.
They do not eat normal food and drink; they feed
upon the bodies of the sentient in order to sustain
themselves. It should be noted that all player Undead
were Humans when they were alive, without exception. Although nocturnal, Ghouls are the least affected
by the daylight of all the Undead. See the Undead
Culture & Role-play
Sometimes called the spawn of Eramus, Ghouls

are said to not have true a spirit or soul. The process
of dying and becoming a Ghoul is so twisted and horrible, that it can forever change someone for the worse.
Ghouls, like all undead, suffer during the day time
hours, and thus often accomplish as much as possible
at night. While unable to move quickly, Ghouls are
relentless hunters and will often stalk their prey for
hours. The vast majority of Ghouls serve Maalor, but a
very small percentage have actively held onto their sanity, and sided with the living against him. It is said
that even those, that worship other Deities and retain
common decency constantly fight against the hunger
and desire to fall into a feral state.
The desire not to be anything can become the desire to be.

Traits
All Undead have the Undead trait and do not
have the Living trait.
General Information
In an attempt to cure their ailing father, the King

of Galvoria, the three prince sons accidently unleashed
the Plague of Undeath upon this world, thus starting
the Age of Conflict. Undead are feared and hated by
the living and most of the worlds population of humans have been killed and reanimated to serve Maalor.
Long dead corpses reanimate as mindless undead and
recently departed sometimes retain their memories and
intelligence. Even if an Undead is willing to work
against their fallen brethren, they are often looked
upon with fear, scorn and mistrust. This has caused
the majority of intelligent Undead to take up Eramus
banner, which seems to be winning.
Requirements
Ghouls must wear white or grey makeup on their
exposed skin and face, and black makeup around their
eyes at a minimum. In addition, Ghouls may have
optional black lipstick and fingernail polish to enhance
this effect. Prosthetics, such as open sores or wounds,
exposed bone, and sewn together patches of skin are all
encouraged and help to give the appearance of a walking corpse. You must have specific Plot permission to
play a Ghoul character.
Locale
Costuming
Undead control the vast majority of the continent

of Bolterra, and rumor says that Eramus has conquered other continents as well. The last refuges of
the Southern Wyldwood and Northern Bolterra are
actively being sieged by legions of Undead, though in
recent years the Worms have all but halted this advance north, leaving a sort of stalemate.
Ghouls tend to have ancient or old clothing and

armor; it is often neglected, deteriorated, or ruined.
Often shunning nice clothing, even the Undead that
actively oppose their brethren and attempt to be more
civilized, usually still have bloodstained clothes due to
their grisly eating habits.
74
a= RequieM
Specter
Vampire
Spectral beings that feed upon the life force of the

living; it is said that Specters are disembodied spirits or
souls trapped on this Realm without a body. In the
same family of Undead as Ghosts and Wraiths, Specters are supposedly the result of someone affected by
the Plague whose body was destroyed. Unable to possess normal items or to even touch someone easily,
Specters subside from consuming the spirits of the
sentient in order to sustain themselves. During the
day Specters partially fade from this world and become
completely incorporeal, unable to affect anything
around them, but also become virtually immune to
everything, like in a Spirit Form. It should be noted
that all player Undead were Humans when they were
alive, without exception. See the Undead Racial History on the Website for further details.
The rarest of the undead, it is said that a twisted

version of a body reanimated with a spirit is known as
a Vampire. Sometimes able to pass as human, Vampires possess pale skin and elongated fangs. In the same
family of Undead as Revenants and Vampire Lords,
Vampires subsist off of feeding upon a combination of
body (blood) and life-force of the Living to survive.
Unlike Ghouls and Specters, this requires a living victim, and does not kill them. Vampires are capable of
incredible Endurance provided they have a food
sources available. It should be noted that all player
Undead were Humans when they were alive, without
exception. See the Undead Racial History on the Website for further details.
Culture & Role-play

Sometimes called the spawn of Illuthar, the majority of the Vampires of Nexus reside on the Isle of
Eternal Night. This has become an entire nation of
Vampires, shrouded in darkness, that use humans as
little more than cattle for food. There are a few Vampire Lords that have chosen to return to Bolterra, but
Vampires are extremely rare. Vampires are the only
Undead not created unintentionally; the disease must
be passed to a willing host. Since they require living
beings as food, there are more vampires neutral to
Maalor than other Undead, though recently it is said
Eramus has recruited more Vampire Lords for his war.
Culture & Role-play

Sometimes called the spawn of Ktharsis, many
Specters were created in the early years of the war
when Humanity did not understand then that to destroy the bodies of the fallen created a non-corporeal
Undead. This has changed recently, with graveyards
being used again, but the damage had already been
done. Said to be incredibly traumatic to be torn back
from the Nether, it can forever change someone for
the worse. It is said Specters constantly have to fight to
remain aware of the world. The vast majority of Specters worship Maalor, but exceptions do exist, and it is
said that the leader of the Inquisition itself is a Specter,
that holds a burning hatred for the rest of the Undead.
Requirements
All Vampires must have elongated fangs on their

upper canine teeth. At night, their undead nature is
revealed farther, it up to the player how they wish to
emphasize this, the creepier the better. At the bare
minimum this should be with a much paler complexion. Part of the requirement of a Vampire is their costume. You must have specific Plot permission to play
a Vampire character.
Requirements
Specters must wear white makeup on their exposed skin and face, and all hair or facial hair must be
white in color. Optionally, white contacts are encouraged as well. Part of the requirement of a Specter is
their costume. You must have specific Plot permission
to play a Specter character.
Costuming
Costuming
Vampires wear gothic and dark clothing, such as

capes with open hoods, spiked and studded leather,
and other clothing with the same feel; it is often elegant and creepy. Feel free to be creative on how you

Attributes
Attribute Point Pools
Every attribute gets a pool of points, you may

spend these points to fuel skills and abilities, except
Vitality, whose pool is the number of Body Points you
have. The pool of points doesnt ever change your
Attribute score. For instance if you have 5 Strength,
and 0 Strength Points left, you can still use any ability
that strength gives you (like wearing armor) except you
cannot fuel anymore skills or abilities that take
Strength Points. In addition some skills let you gain
points of their own (Arcane, Stealth, Stamina, Inspiration, Zeal and Power) which can be substituted for any
attribute while fueling a specific Header or Subheaders skills. All Attribute Points and Secondary
Attribute Points except Endurance Points refill to full
(to your Attribute score) every time you spend an Endurance to Refresh.
The Next Step

Hopefully by now, you have chosen a race, and
know approximately how many starting CP your character will have, now its time to spend some of it.
There are three main expenditures of CP: Attributes,
Headers, and Skills. Attributes represent how strong or
fast or powerful your character has, where skills
represent the ability to use those attributes towards a
specific goal. Headers merely allow you access to skills.
Attributes without Skills would be just as useless as
Skills without Attributes. Remember that a lot of races
also give a bonus to attributes too, which is helpful in
raising them to higher levels. Some people skip
Attributes and go strait to Skills at this point, but if
you do so, do not forget to save some CP for them, as
it is easy to get caught up in individual skills.
Attribute Costs
To raise your Attributes, it takes an amount of CP

equal to what you are raising them to. For example to
raise an attribute to from 1 to 2 takes 2 CP, 2 to 3
takes 3 CP more, etc All costs must be paid additively. This formula works for every Attribute except
Endurance, which takes double the CP of what you
are raising it to. This cost caps at 5, and you will never
have to spend more than 5 CP for stat point increase
or 10 for an Endurance increase after the Attribute is
at 5 or more. Any skill or ability that raises an attribute
is always considered at the end (so it is best cost for
you). An example of this is the +1 Strength which
Warriors get is always counted after any strength you
have bought. So if you had 1 Strength, and skill Warriors Strength, purchasing your third Strength would
be the CP cost of the second. See the Attribute Cost
Table below to see the full breakdown of the CP costs.
Description
There are 6 main attributes as follows: Agility,
Intellect, Spirit, Strength, Vitality and Endurance.
Agility represents you characters mental and physical
speed and dexterity, Intellect represents your characters wisdom and intelligence, Spirit represents your
characters chi or inner fire, Strength represents your
characters mental and physical fortitude, Vitality
represents your characters health and ability to withstand punishment, and Endurance represents how
long your character can continue to perform under
duress. All Attributes start at 1 unless otherwise
changed by a race or ability. Unlike some games, In
Requiem, all Attributes are important for all characters, as there are no useless ones.
Bonuses & Penalties
Every attribute has a bonus when it is raised to 5

(or any number higher) and a penalty if it is left at 1,
except Endurance. In addition, Attributes lower than 4
generally limit your ability in the game to perform
actions or purchase skills, such as wield weapons or
cast complicated spells. If an Attribute limits the purchasing or use of a skill, raising the Attribute will
merely allow the skill in question to be used or purchased, but will not actually grant you the skill, which
you must still purchase with CP. See the Attribute
Quicklists below to see the full breakdown of what
each Attribute does and allows.
Training Attributes
To raise any attribute to 5 or less is considered a

Free skill, and does not require an Instruction Card.
Any stat trained above 5 is considered supernatural,
and is an Uncommon skill, and must be learned In
Game from someone with Instruction Cards. Even if
the raising an attribute to 6 would cost you less than
normal, because of specific skills or racial abilities, it is
still considered an uncommon skill. Starting Characters can never start with any Attribute over 5 to begin
with.

Agility
Intellect
Agility represents your physical and mental speed

and dexterity. Someone with a high agility is most apt
at quick decisions and dexterous use of their body.
Agility also limits what weapons you are able to wield
effectively and what delivery of spells you can cast. In
addition some skills use something in relation to your
agility, such as you may be able to generate a number
of disengages equal to your Agility, or an amount of
spells in a battle equal to half your agility. If for any
reason your Agility score is reduced to 0 (not your agility points) you may not use any weapons at all.
Intellect represents your intellectual capacity and

decision making skills. Someone with a high Intellect
is generally both smart and wise. Intellect also limits
how complicated a skill or spell you may purchase, in
terms of CP (Headers do not count for this). In addition some skills use something in relation to your Intellect, such as you may be able to make a certain
amount of scrolls equal to your Intellect, or generate
healing in a battle a number of times equal to half your
intellect. If your any reason your Intellect score is reduced to 0 (not your intellect points) you may not
speak or converse in any way at all.

Spirit
Strength
Spirit represents your physical and mental fortitude. Someone with a high spirit is strong willed and
does not falter easily. Spirit also represents how many
of a spell or skill you may fuel with points one time. In
addition some skills use something in relation to you
Spirit, such as you may be able to resist a called damage attack equal to your Spirit or less. If for any reason
your Spirit score is reduced to 0 (not your spirit
points) you may not fuel any skills or spells that take
attributes at all.
Strength represents your physical and mental

might. Someone with a high Strength is apt at the
brute force approach and is powerful both in body and
in mind. Strength also limits what size armor you may
use and what skills you can perform on certain frequencies (such as Per Refresh or Per Battle). In addition some skills use something in relation to your
Strength, such as you may heal an amount of Body
Points equal to your Strength, or generate a called
damage a number of times in a battle equal to half
your Strength. If for any reason your Strength score is
reduced to 0 (not your strength points) you may not
use any armor at all.

Vitality
Secondary
Attributes
Vitality represents how robust and healthy you

are. Someone with a high vitality is much less likely to
die to damage then someone with a low one. Vitality
also represents how well the benefit of living well does
for you. Vitality is does not generate points to use like
other stats, but your Vitality sets how many Body
Points you have, which is how many hits you can take
before you fall. See the Health section of the Core
Rules for more details. Some skills use something in
relation to your vitality, such as you may be able to
heal someone equal to your Vitality. If for any reason
your Vitality score is reduced to 0 (not your body
points) you are reduced to the dead status, if that does
not remove the effect that brought you to 0 Vitality,
you must instantly rise as a spirit go to Deaths Realm.
Arcane
Arcane represents a point pool that can be used in
replacement of a single Attribute (AGI, INT, SPI,
STR) in any skill in the Magus header or any SubMagus header (Battle Caster, Myrmidon, Psion, Ranger, Sorcerer, Elementalist, Invoker, Illusionist, Wizard, Enchanter, Ritualist, Scholar).
Inspiration
Inspiration represents a point pool that can be

used in replacement of a single Attribute (AGI, INT,
SPI, STR) in any skill in the Artisan header or any
Sub-Artisan header (Craftsman, Apothecary, Hunter,
Scribe, Metal Worker, Artificer, Smith, Tinkerer, Tradesman, Entertainer, Merchant, Jack of All Trades).
1 Vitality
Since at 1 Body Point you are considered under a

Permanent Weakness and Slow, at 1 Vitality you are
always permanently affected by Weakness and Slow. In
addition, a character with 1 Vitality can never Live
Well for extra body points during the Event.
Stamina
Stamina represents a point pool that can be used
in replacement of a single Attribute (AGI, INT, SPI,
STR) in any skill in the Warrior header or any SubWarrior header (Fighter, Berserker, Brawler, Soldier,
Defender, Champion, Guardian, Paladin, Specialist,
Archer, Blade Master, Marshal).
2-4 Vitality
At 2, 3, or 4 Vitality, a character can Live Well at

Check In, and gain +1 Body for the Event.
Stealth
Stealth represents a point pool that can be used in
replacement of a single of Attribute (AGI, INT, SPI,
STR) in any skill in the Rogue header or any SubRogue header (Blade, Assassin, Brigand, Thug, Stalker,
Acrobat, Scout, Thief, Shroud, Alchemist, Outlaw,
Warlock).
5+ Vitality
At 5 Vitality, a character can Live Well at Check
In, and gain +2 Body for the Event. In addition, all
characters at 5 or more Vitality restore all their Body
Points to full any time they Endurance Refresh.
Zeal
Zeal represents a point pool that can be used in

replacement of a single Attribute (AGI, INT, SPI,
STR) in any skill in the Mystic header or any SubMystic header. (Acolyte, Cleric, Inquisitor, Priest,
Prophet, Monk, Oracle, Seer, Spiritualist, Druid,
Shaman, Spirit Walker).
Power
Power represents a point pool that can be used in
replacement of a single Attributes (AGI, INT, SPI,
STR) in any Header you possess, including Racial,
Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Headers.

a= RequieM
Endurance
Attunement Score
The amount of Endurance you have directly affects the amount of Attunement Score your character
possesses. This Score does not have Attribute Points,
but is used to fuel powerful Magic Items and special
Epic Skills. A player receives 1 Attunement Score per
Endurance they posses. Attunement Score is not spent
like point pools, but tells how many specific Attunement Skills or Items that you may have attuned to you
at any one time. It cannot be restored except by unattuning yourself to a specific Skill or Item. Certain
skills or abilities may positively or negatively affect a
Players Attunement Score, without changing their
Endurance. If you have Attunement Costs equal to
your Attunement Score you gain the Attuned trait,
which lets people know you cannot attune to anything
else.
Endurance measures how long your character can

continue fighting at peak condition.
This is
represented by the amount of times your character can
Endurance Refresh, or restore all of their point pools
to full. In addition, Endurance directly increases your
Attunement Score, which affects the amount of magic
items your character may possess. You do not get your
Attributes Points back at certain times in Requiem,
instead you must choose when you wish to refresh, by
spending a point of Endurance. Some exceptionally
powerful skills or abilities actually take a point of endurance to fuel. Since you start with 1 Endurance (like
all other Attributes), if you do not purchase any addition points, you will have all the points you can use for
showing up to the event and can refresh your point
pools once. If you have 0 Endurance points left, you
gain the Exhausted trait, which lets people know you
are out of the ability to refresh. Endurance Points are
only restored between events normally, but exceptions
do exist.
Attunement Costs
Attunement costs are generally broken down into

a couple separate categories. If it is a specific number,
that is how much Attunement Score it takes, for instance a 2 would take 2 of your Attunement Score.
The exception to this is that if you have no other attunement items you may always have at least one
numbered attunement item. In the example above, if
you only possessed an Attunement Score of 1 and were
not attuned to anything else, you may still attune to
the Item, but you could not attune to anything else
until your Attunement Score were raised higher than
the attunement cost. Items that have an exclusive attunement, or take all of your attunement points may
not be attuned if you have any other skill or item that
you are attuned to, and are represented by a plus sign
(+) on the item.
Endurance Refresh
Spending 1 Endurance Point, and spending 5 uninterrupted minutes role-playing some sort meditation
will refresh all your other point pools except Body
Points (unless you have 5+ Vitality). This never refreshes Endurance points itself though. How exactly
you role-play the 5 minutes is up to you, but you may
not use any skill and may not speak or travel anywhere. Some people sleep, some meditate, some do
exercises; so do whatever your character would do!
While this can be done while combat is going on, any
damage to you will reset this count.
Event Modifiers for Endurance

Most Events that are not a Full Weekend have a
modifier to your Endurance Points for the particular
Event. This ensures that the Event can be scaled well
enough and that Endurance is equally useful on both
short and long events. For Adventure Days, the
amount of Endurance Points you start the Event with
is halved (round up). For Long Weekends, the
amount of Endurance you start the Event with is
doubled. Paying for a Premium Event, always grants
the extra Endurance after any Event Modifier for Endurance.
81

Skills
Skill Delivery
Each skill that delivers an effect has a delivery method for doing so. These are all covered under the
Combat section of Chapter 2: Core Rules. Generally
the main types of delivery are Weapon, Extend Strike,
Packet, Cast, Weapon or Packet, Voice, and Extend
Gesture. Also, some skills have an Imbue or Inflict
Card, if the particular skill can be used on others. After
successfully affecting someone with an Imbue/Inflict,
make sure to give them the specific Card accompanying the skill. Skills in the rulebook are defaulted to be
a weapon delivered and Spells are defaulted to be
Packet delivered, unless otherwise stated.
Skills are abilities that your character can do. They

encompass the vast amount of actions in the game,
from wielding weapons to casting spells. Even some
things that you as a player can do, your character is
limited to not be able to do without a skill, like wear
certain armor. Some skills just modify other skills, or
change the duration of a skill. All skills also have a
Header, a Rarity and many other aspects to them, covered below, most of which are denoted in some way on
the Skill Matrix. The entire Matrix is designed that
you once you understand it, you dont need to look
past it unless you have any very specific questions.
Prerequisites
You may only purchase a skill provided you have

the free Character Points for the skill, and meet any
and all other prerequisites. This includes any skills,
headers, or anything else stated. Some skills actually
require that you do not buy other skills, and are thus
exclusive of each other. All pre-requisite information
is clearly located in the Prerequisite column on the
Skill Matrix.
Purchase Overview
All skills have a limit of how many times they may
be purchased (once, twice, thrice, unlimited). Skills
that may only be purchased once may not be purchased multiple times, and will only have the CP cost
and nothing else. For other multiple purchase skills,
this is denoted on the Skill Matrix next to the CP cost
by a (*x) for unlimited, or a (*#x) for a skill that can be
purchased a set number times. For any skill that can be
purchased multiple times, you have to spend your
Character Points per time you wish to buy the skill,
though every purchase past the first is considered a
Free rarity wise.
Headers
Headers are basically a grouping of skills. The
games vast assortment of skills is divided up into many
different headers. Many headers require another header to purchase them; these are called secondary and
tertiary headers. Primary Racial Headers are 0 CP but
require you to be of a specific race group, Secondary
Racial Headers are 3 CP and require you to be of a
specific race. Primary Skill Headers are 5 CP each, and
represent a basic understanding of particular type of
skills, Secondary and Tertiary Headers are 3 CP. As a
general rule, Secondary and Tertiary Headers represent
more and more specialization into a set of skills. Every
Header in the rulebook is considered a common skill.
Some skills are 0 CP in a header, but remember that
just because you learned the header, this does not
mean you have learned the skill. Even a 0 CP skill has
a rarity and requires Instruction Card(s) to learn. Unless of course it is a common skill, and you are creating
your character, when you may learn any common or
free skill you wish. In the skill Matrix, headers are denoted as bold, and encompass all the skills directly
below them. A list of all the Primary, Secondary and
Tertiary skill headers can be found below.
How Skills Work
Skills have Limitations, Durations, Types and Restrictions, which affect or classify a skill, and state generally what it does before even reading it. This helps
people learn what a skill does or does not do with similarities to preexisting skills they may know. Costs
are how many times a skill can be used. All skills have
a Cost, and the vast majority of skills only have a single cost, but the rare exception does exist. Durations
are how long a skill lasts. Do not confuse them with
effect durations, as they only apply to skills. The majority of skills do not have a duration (they are instant
or permanent) but the ones that do have set durations.
Types classify a skill into one of a couple different categories, all with broad rules that affect the entire type.
Skills have one and only one Type. Restrictions are
rules that a Skill must follow, either to be used, on
which target, or for how long. Generally skills have at
least one Restriction.

Skill
Classifications
Skill Durations
None
Non-Combat Skills
Non-combat skills are those which are not useful
directly in combat. Mainly skills are classified this because of the Skill Requirements that players have.
Non-combat skills encourage diversifying characters
into more than being just fighting machines. Characters are required to maintain 10% of the total CP in
non-combat skills. Any skill with this classification is
denoted on the Skill Matrix with an (NC) after the
skill name.
Passive Skills
This skill ends immediately after it is used or does

not have a set duration. The majority of Skills have
this duration. Do not confuse this with an Effect duration, as being able to swing a Maim by Weapon
doesnt have a skill duration, but maim does.
Battle
This skill is active for the current Battle you are
involved in. Note that all Multiple Use skills have the
duration of Battle standard, as any unused uses are lost
at the end of each Battle.
Adventure
This skill always works, even under circumstances

that remove all skills, like Fatigue or in situations
where you normally cannot use any abilities, like being
Dead. This does not mean that you can always use a
passive ability in every situation, just that it has the
potential to be used. For instance, you cannot actually
read and write while dead because you cannot see.
Generally a passive skill dictates very specific situations
in which it can be used. The Purge effect is always
considered passive.
This skill is active until your next Endurance Refresh. This is the second most common duration of
skills. Skills that last until next refresh generally require fueling a number of Attributes every Refresh to
keep the skill active.
Offboard Skills
Timed
This classification of skill happens between events.

Generally dealt with at Check In or Check Out, these
skills represent work or time devoted in between
events. Examples of this are Crafting Skills, Knowledge
Skills, and other skills that would take a large block of
time to complete. Offboard skills are almost always
considered Non-combat, but the reverse is not true.
This is denoted on the Skill Matrix with an Offboard
in the skill description.
Exclusive Skills
This classification of a skill means that the skill
cannot be active with any other exclusive skills at the
same time. You may only have one exclusive skill active, and if you try to use another one you must choose
to end the first one. By definition, this only applies to
skills that interact with other skills, such as Battle duration skills or Multiple Use skills. Unless specifically
stated, no skill can stack with itself, even if it is not
exclusive.
85
This skill is active for the current Adventure you

are involved in. Generally these are only useful on Adventures, or 'far outside' of town.
Until Refresh
This skill is active for the time listed. The most

common times are generally 30 seconds, 5 minutes
and 1 hour, but others exist. Note the difference between this duration and Battle and Adventure durations. For the 5 minutes and over variety, feel free to
use a watch subtly.

Skill Costs
Per Event
This skill can be used a specific number of times

each event that you attend. This includes Full Weekend and Adventure Days. This Cost is generally reserved for the most powerful and potent abilities that a
character can do. In the Skill Matrix, these skills are
represented with #/event in the Cost section, with the
number being how many times per event a character
can use the skill, which is usually one.
Continuous
This skill is always active or can be used whenever
the character wishes without cost. Examples of this
would be a Weapon Proficiency, or the Refit Armor
skill. In the Skill Matrix, these skills are represented
with a blank Attribute box.
Fueled
Per Year
This skill is fueled with a certain amount of

Attributes. You may use these skills as long as you have
Attribute Points left to fuel them. In the Skill Matrix ,
these skills are represented with the a number and abbreviated attribute type in the Attribute box. The abbreviations are STR for Strength, AGI for agility, INT
for Intellect, SPI for Spirit and END for Endurance.
ANY for skills that can take any of the 4 main
Attributes (STR/AGI/INT/SPI) and EACH for skills
that require a number of each Attribute. For example
2 SPI requires 2 Spirit Attribute Points to fuel.

each season, or calendar year. This resets at the Time
of Gloaming, on Midnight Dec 31st each year. These
skills are generally extremely powerful or game altering. Uses of these skills are carefully monitored and
regulated, to make sure that a character is played
enough, and deserves the ability to be using these
skills. In the Skill Matrix, these skills are represented
with #/year in the Cost, with the number being how
many times per event a character can use the skill,
which is usually one.
Fueled Special Cases
Per Battle
Some fueled skills have special characters in them,

which denote special cases of fueling a skill. Skills
marked with an asterisk (*) instead of an Attribute
abbreviation takes any of the 4 main Attributes, but
does something different depending on which
Attribute is chosen. For some skills the number is X,
which means it can be fueled with any number of
Attributes, and does a different effect based on how
many are spent. A plus sign (+) after a number means
that the skill takes all of a specific Attribute, but you
must have the minimum number there to be able to
activate it.

per battle you are involved in. At the bare minimum,
per battle skills will not refresh for at least 5 minutes.
This means that some battles very close together do
not always guarantee that these skills will be available.
In a specific Adventure, especially in a building, if
there is a noticeable break, feel free to always assume
that your Per Battle skills have returned. Any beneficial per battle skill, such as healing, can be used in a
similar manner but is expected not to be blatantly
abused, and follow the spirit of every battle instead
of once every 5 minutes. Abuse of beneficial per battle
abilities will cause them to be changed, or the character in question to have the skill removed. In the Skill
Matrix, these skills are represented with #/battle in
the Cost section, with the number being how many
times per battle a character can use the skill.
Per Refresh

each time you Endurance Refresh. For example if you
have 2 Endurance, and have a skill that is useable once
per refresh, you may use the skill once (since you start
at full) then two more times, once per refresh, but not
all 3 times at once. In the Skill Matrix, these skills are
represented with #/refresh in the Cost section, with
the number being how many times per refresh a character can use the skill. Also denoted with */refresh
for skills with a variable amount of uses per Refresh,
such as skills you may buy multiple times.
Varies
This type of skill has a different, variable cost, that

is usually because the skill itself changes from one
Event to another. All skills with this cost will come
with a specific Skill Card for every Event, explaining
the skill description and giving a separate cost from the
ones above.

Skill Types
Instruction
Ability
This type of skill grants you a beneficial game affect for a specific duration or indefinitely. Usually abilities are a buff that positively affects your character.
Some examples of this would be a skill that did -1
Called Damage taken by Faith or another that did
May Re-throw one missed 'by Magic' spell. These
skills will have an accompanying Imbue Card if they
can be used
Bonus Attribute
This type of skill grants a bonus to a specific

attribute, or grants a player one of the Secondary
Attributes. Sometimes in order to grant an attribute,
there are specific requirements. Examples are Gain +1
Agility or Gain +1 Arcane while wearing Wizard
Robes. Each of the primary headers has bonus
attribute skill that does not stack with any other like
one. Unless stated, all other attribute skills stack, and
are always counted at the end when purchasing them
(always at best cost).
Defensive
This type of skill is used to prevent an attack
against a character, if a legal hit was landed. Defenses
can negate the damage or effect, or even return the
attack on the attacker. Defensive skills are usually tied
to a specific trait or ability, such as Evade to Back,
Parry Melee and can only be used against what is
stated. If the word Anything is used, the defense can
be used against anything. See the Defenses section of
Chapter 2: Core Rules for more information.
Harvest
This type of skill affects treasure gained from specific NPCs and Locations. The five main harvesting
skills are Core Extracting, Herbalism, Mining, Essence
Gathering and Spiritual Focusing but other specialized
ones exist. Sometimes, as is the course with Town
Fights, the treasure for the entire fight will be on a
larger creature or in a treasure box. In these fights, or
the call Minion will be used to denote there is nothing available but treasure is somewhere. It is assumed
that all the harvesting was done, and nothing was
missed. This is denoted on the Skill Matrix with
Harvest - in the skill name.
88
This type of skill deals with leaning and training

other skills. The most common of these are skills that
grant a specific amount of Instruction Cards per event
and/or the ability to teach a specific group of skills.
The amount of Instruction Cards needed to teach a
skill is based on the Rarity, which is gone over in
Learning Skills. This is denoted on the Skill Matrix
with Instruction - in the skill name.
Knowledge
Knowledge skills are generally Offboard skills that

allow a specific question about the skills topic to be
researched in between Events. This generally requires
money for research or to grease the wheels, to garner
any sort of useful information, but simplistic questions
may take none. You may only have one question per
knowledge skill you possess out there, and sometimes
exceptionally difficult questions may take multiple
events and more money to answer. The veracity of
Knowledge skills can sometimes be in question, but
they are generally reliable. Examples of knowledge
skills are Elven Lore or Tactics. This is denoted on
the Skill Matrix with Knowledge - in the skill name.
Maintenance
Maintenance skills are generally Offboard skills

that specifically deal with Maintenance. The most
common of these skills modify Upkeep, Living Well,
and Training Well. An example of a Maintenance skill
is Half cost off Upkeep per Event. This is denoted
on the Skill Matrix with Maintenance in the skill
name.
Major Use
This type of skill is usable for the current battle

until you successfully hit, or an appropriate Major defense is called. The defense Deflect may not be used
against a Major Use skill. If the weapon swing or packet physically misses, or any non-major defenses including No Effect are used against it, then the cost of the
skill is refunded. A Voice Attack with Major cannot
be defended against without a Major Defense at all.
See the Major Prefix for more details. If the battle
ends, and this skill is still active then the cost of the
skill is refunded. The cost of this skill will be refunded
is if the hit successfully lands, and is not role-played
through the Acknowledgment Rule.
a= RequieM
Mercantile
Proficiency
Minor Use
Rumor
This type of skill is usable once, hit or miss. If the

weapon swing or packet physically misses or anything
is called in defense, including Deflect, No Effect or
Reduced then the skill is used up and any Cost or
Attributes are lost. The only time the cost of this skill
will be refunded is if the hit successfully lands, and is
not role-played through the Acknowledgment Rule.
Often Multiple Use skills generate a number of Minor
Uses of a single ability.
Rumor skills are generally Offboard skills that

grant a player specific information about the skills
topic every event at Check In. The amount of information and exact topics of discussion vary between
events and characters cannot seek additional information with this type of skill. In addition, the veracity of
all the rumors can often be in question, much more so
than Knowledge skills, but sometimes they yield useful
information. Examples of rumor skills are Tavern
Tales and Whispers of the Divine. This is denoted
on the Skill Matrix with Rumor in the skill name.
Mercantile skills are generally Offboard skills that

allow buying or selling items from a specific list, or
receiving components, money or items at Check In or
Check Out. Examples of mercantile skills are Thrifty
or Bazaar. Lists available have the ability to change
between Events, based on IG occurrences and work
players do to establish Merchant contacts. This is denoted on the Skill Matrix with Mercantile - in the
skill name.
This type of skill allows a character to do something In Game that normally could not be done without a skill. You as a player may know how to wield a
sword, but without sword proficiency your character
could not use one. Your character can only use the
specified ability only as well as you, the player can. For
example, if a skill Proficiency gives you the ability to
pick locks, you must actually attempt to pick a lock,
and cannot assume your character knows how.
Modifier
This type of skill generally alters or modifies an
existing skill or ability. While usually doing nothing by
itself, it enhances an existing skill you already possess,
which is usually the prerequisite. It can change the
type, duration, restrictions, cost or anything else about
a specific skill. Unless otherwise noted, any modifications alter the skill, and replace it, instead of allowing
both to be used. For example if a skill has a cost of
1/event and another modifier skill reduces it to
1/refresh, then you would have the skill once per refresh. All modifiers for skills, unless specifically stated,
stack with all other modifiers.
Single Use
This type of skill is usable once, hit or miss. If the
defenses No Effect or Deflect are used against it,
then the cost of the skill is refunded. If the weapon
swing or packet physically misses or any other defense
including Reduced is called, then the skill will be
used up, and any Cost or Attribute is lost. The cost of
this skill will be refunded is if the hit successfully
lands, and is not role-played through the Acknowledgment Rule.
Until Hit
Multiple Use
This type of skill is usable for the current battle

until you hit, or an appropriate defense is called. If the
weapon swing or packet physically misses, or the defenses Deflect or No Effect are used against it, then
the cost of the skill is refunded. If the battle ends, and
this skill is still active, then the cost of the skill is refunded. If the skill successfully lands or if any other
defense including Reduced is called, then the skill
will be used up, and any Cost or Attribute is lost. The
cost of this skill will be refunded is if the hit successfully lands, and is not role-played through the Acknowledgment Rule.
When activated this type of skill is usable a number of times in a single battle. Each use is usually considered Minor Use unless specifically stated otherwise.
If all uses are not used when the battle is over, the extras are lost. A lot of multiple use skills have uses based
on a specific Attribute of a character. The special call
of Frenzy denotes that the multiple use skill used
does not have a number of uses, but is unlimited. Multiple Use is denoted on the Skill Matrix with a (#)x, *x
or Frenzy in the description of a skill. Any Multiple
use based off of an Attribute will have how many can
be generated clearly in the skill description.

Craft Skills
placed on weapons. Shield runes can be placed on

shields. Power Runes can be placed on people, power
circles or cabins.
Craft skills are generally Offboard skills that grant

a player a specific amount of production points each
Event in which to create items specific to the craft.
These are generally involving and CP intensive abilities
that let players use components that are turned into
reagents, and then reagents are turned into usable
Consumable Items. In addition all craft skills besides
War paint, Enchanting and Blessing (which arent true
craft skills, but for the purpose are similar) can Break
Down, Combine, and Transmute components as well.
For more information, visit the Items chapter or the
Craft Matrix.
Scroll Making
This craft skill makes magical books and scrolls

that can be activated for special powers. Magic Scrolls
can be used to cast spells with a School of Magic,
Scrolls can be used to cast spells with a Discipline of
Faith, Formula can be used to hold crafting recipes
and Books can be used to store skills and spells.
Tinkering
This craft skill makes mechanical contraptions
that can be used defensively or offensively. Upgrades
can be used to enhance Clockworks or other tinkering
items. Explosives can be used in combat from a distance(bombs), or set up in advance to provide an advantage(traps). Repairs can be used by tinkerers to fix
machinery and items. Gadgets are generally useful and
interesting items for tinkerers.
Alchemy
This craft skill creates poisons that can be thrown,
used in a drink like form, or applied to weapons.
Salves are restorative concoctions only useable with
Poison Expertise that grant beneficial effects. Gas Poisons allow characters will Poison Expertise to throw

fed to people for adverse effects. Venoms are caustic
poisons that can be applied to a weapon to deliver powerful effects.
Blessing
Similar to enchanting, this skill allows the creation

of powerful holy symbols that last the event and grant
the wielding power in every Battle that they fight in.
Each Symbol is attuned to a specific Deity, and may
only be wielded by followers of that deity. In addition,
The Blessing skill also allows the creation of circlets,
which can be attuned to people with a specific requirement.
Blacksmithing
This craft skill makes enhanced weapons and armor that are long lasting or benefits to weapons or
armor that are short lasting. Melee weapons create special weapons and stones or grips. Ranged Weapons
create special weapons, arrows and quivers. Shields
create special shields and stones and grips. Armor

Enchanting
Similar to Blessing, this skill allows players to
create magic items that last the event, and grant the
wielder power in every Battle they are in. Wands are
items used by Elementalists. Rings are items used by
anyone with a Major School of Magic. Amulets are
items used by anyone with a Minor School of Magic.
Crowns are items used by non-magic users and are
generally attuned to something specific.
Potion Making
This craft skill creates magical concoctions that
have beneficial effects when quaffed. Treatments are
specific concoctions that can be poured on items.
Cauldrons are larger concoctions that up to 6 people
can drink from. Elixirs are curative concoctions that
generally fix problems. Potions are concoctions that
heal or give beneficial effects.
War Paint
While not a real craft skill in sense, war paints allow a character to apply powerful magical paints to
themselves and sometimes others that grant them
beneficial or altering effects until they Endurance Refresh. The four levels are: Creator of Masks, Art of
Faces, Crafter of Visages and Master of Veils.
Rune Carving
This craft skill makes runes that can be placed on
objects or people to grant them special powers. Armor
runes can be placed on armor. Weapon runes can be

Skill Restrictions
Bright Day Only
Armament
This restriction requires that the specific action
that the skill generates or benefit of the skill may only
be used while wielding the stated weapon or wearing
the stated armor. For instance, some skills require that
you be wearing Light Armor or less, or that you must
be wielding an Axe. If you are not using the correct
armaments, you cannot gain any benefit or use of the
skill. Skills that have an armament restriction and a
use, must be used with the weapon or armor in question. For example, the archer skills that are Arrow
Only may only be used with an arrow.
Award Only
This restriction limits how a skill is learned or
taught. The restriction, Award Only, means that a
player may not purchase this skill normally, or learn it
from other players; it must be awarded through an In
Game action or role-playing. In addition, players with
skills with this restriction may not teach them to other
players at all. Skills with this restriction are generally
harder to get compared to skills of similar rarity, and
these skills cannot be purchased with Influence.
91
This restriction limits the use of a specific skill to

only during the day time and during 10am to 2pm,
with the additional restriction, that the sun is directly
visible from your location.
Cabin Only

only indoors, with the additional restriction that you
are in the location of your residence and/or where you
sleep at night depending on the type of Event.
Dark Night Only

only during the day time and during 10pm to 2am,
with the additional restriction, that the moon is directly visible from your location.
Day Time Only

only during the day time. For the purposes of simplicity, day time is considered from 6am to 6pm, not sunrise to sunset. Some specific Adventures may allow or
disallow use of Day Only skills based on the specific
flavor of the adventure.

Deep Woods Only
Planted

being outdoors only, with the additional restriction
that there are no permanent structures (tents and leantos do not count towards this restriction) in sight of
the location which you are at.
This restriction requires that for a skill to remain

active, you must choose to plant a foot. Similar to a
root effect, you may pivot the foot or move the other
one, but cannot move it from the spot. While planted,
if you are affected by Disengage or Repel you are not
forced back if you do not wish, but would be required
to go to a knee, as per Disengage rules. A Knockback
effect will force you back and end whatever skill had
this restriction. Generally planted skills give a Multiple
Use frenzy effect, but exceptions do exist.
Extra Rep Required

This restriction on a skill requires a Phys-rep or
more extra makeup or costuming than normal. Examples of a skill with this restriction would be Mark of
Azraal that requires a specific tattoo or a skill like
Battle Standard which requires a 6 foot tall phys-rep
with the team of a team on it. This is denoted on the
Skill Matrix with an asterisk (*) next to the skill name.
RP Time
This restriction causes skills or abilities to take a

specific duration of role-play before the effect may be
generated. This is denoted with an amount of time, for
example 10 seconds RP. You may choose how this is
role-played, keeping in mind the skill, but it must be
for the full time stated. If a specific action is stated in
parentheses after RP for example 5 sec RP(aiming)
then you must direct your role-playing to whatever the
specific instructions are. This role-play is generally not
interrupted by damage unless specifically stated. Remember that having a 1 Spirit doubles all RP times for
a character. This is denoted in the Skill Matrix with #
RP: at the beginning of the description of the effect.
Indoors Only
only while the character is inside. For the purposes of
simplicity, indoors is where you have a roof over your
head. Some specific Adventures may allow or disallow
use of Indoors skills based on the specific flavor of the
adventure.
Must Purchase
This restriction requires that the skill must be purchased, when the header or prerequisite that the skill is
in is purchased. Typically these skills are reserved for
penalizing and disadvantageous or restrictive skills, and
are mostly used for racial disadvantages. This is denoted on the Skill Matrix with an asterisk (*) next to
the CP cost of the skill, which is generally 0.
Self Only
This restriction on a skill makes it so the effect can

only be generated on the character that purchased it.
This can be denoted on the Skill Matrix with a self
only in the skill description, or a to Self in the effect,
but any Ability skills that grant a non-standard effect
and do not include an Imbue Card. Any skill that
gives the Purge effect is always considered self only.
Night Time Only

only during the night time. For the purposes of simplicity, night time is considered from 6pm to 6am, not
sunset to sunrise. Some specific Adventures may allow
or disallow use of Night Only skills based on the specific flavor of the adventure.
Special
The list of the above restrictions is not 100% inclusive, and there are many unique and special restrictions that are not covered in exact detail above. Usually these requirements are very specific and spelled out
both on the Skill Matrix and in the full Skill Description. Some examples of this include takes a Material
Component or May only be used while Berserked.
Were we to list every specific exact restriction, this
rulebook would be far too unwieldy and long. The
restrictions above are to clarify well used restrictions
and to standardize them. Check for special restrictions
on skills you plan on purchasing.
Outdoors Only
only while the character is outside. For the purposes of
simplicity, outdoors is where you can see the sky or the
trees above you. Some specific Adventures may allow
or disallow use of Outdoors skills based on the specific flavor of the adventure.

Magic & Faith Skills
Spells & Casting
Schools & Disciplines
Spells
While called something else, Schools of Magic and

Disciplines of Faith are just a type of Skill Header that
allow you access and understanding of the magical
language of the particular School or Discipline and
allow you to cast scrolls of it as well. These are predominately the province of the Magus and Mystic respectively, but exceptions exist. Sometimes schools and
disciplines have other restrictions as well which change
the exact name of what they are called, and are mentioned below. Spells usually have no other prerequisites other than the specific school or discipline, but all
require a specific and personalized incant, and both
hands free (without additional skills), which is the
same for all spells.
Spells are a type of skill and generally cost 0-5 CP,

exactly like skills. The term spell is used for both Magic and Faith. All spells require an Incant and both
hands to be free unless specifically noted. Some skills
allow a single weapon or shield to be held, but without
a skill, weapons must be sheathed or dropped to cast.
Even with the ability to cast with a weapon and a
shield, you still must have at least 1 free hand. You
may not put an item under your arm to cast; it must
be appropriately sheathed or dropped. Weapons also
cannot be tossed in the air and then caught after the
spell is cast.
Sphere
Spheres are a specific type of School or Discipline

that limits how a character learns the spells in it.
Spheres' spells do not have CP cost, but must be
learned In Game, and cannot be purchased normally.
In addition, Spheres magic cannot be taught normally, it must be learned from a spell book.
Path
Paths are specific Schools or Disciplines that limit
how the spells in them are learned. Paths require that
all the spells be purchased in CP order, from 0 to 5,
like the previous one was a prerequisite to the next
one. If there are multiple spells of a specific CP they
may be purchased in any order but all are required for
the next CP spell.
Pyramid
Pyramids are specific Schools or Disciplines that
limit how the spells in them are learned. The Spells
must be purchased in an order that creates a pyramid,
hence the name. For example, to purchase a 2 CP
spell, two of any of the 1 CP spells must be purchased,
a second 2 CP spell would require three 1 CP spells.
To purchase a 5 CP spell: two 4 CP spells, three 3 CP
spells, four 2 CP spells and five 1 CP spells must be
purchased. This requirement is for which order the
spells may be purchased, and does not guarantee all
pyramids have a full 15+ spells in them, and may cap
at different CP.
94
Incants
Incants for spells are not standardized, but you

must follow certain rules while creating them, and all
spell incants need to be approved by Plot. Once you
create a spell incant, it cannot be changed, except in
certain circumstances, and if you have the permission
of Plot. Incant length is based on three factors: It must
have the spell name (or a good enough variation that it
is easily figured out), the Spells School or Discipline
name and an additional number of syllables which is
based on the CP of a spell, for the syllable count, the
spell and school/discipline name do not count towards
it. For Discipline of Faith spells you may replace the
name of the Deity that the character follows for the
Discipline name if thematically appropriate. The
amount of extra syllables needed in an incant is 5 plus
2 times the CP of the spell. Using a Magic or Faith
Scroll always has a specific and standardized incant,
which you must read from the scroll itself.
Cantrips and Prayers

While not real spells, prayers which are the faith
version, and Cantrips which are the magic version, are
small spell-like effects that a character can generate.
Prayers and Cantrips do not require a specific School
or Discipline, generally found under normal skill
Headers. All other Spell rules, including an incant and
free hand restrictions must be followed. Incants for
Prayers must include the name of the Deity that the
character follows and 5 additional syllables. Incants for
Cantrips must include the word Magic and 5 additional syllables.
a= RequieM
Learning Skills
Rarity
Training Skills
Free
Skills always have a header pre-requisite, and

sometimes an additional skill pre-requisite. All prerequisites must be met before learning (or beginning to
learn a skill). When you wish to learn a skill that takes
longer than one event, the CP for the skill must be put
in reserve. Skills have 4 rarities, and during character
creation you may only start with skills that are free or
common. Skills are always learned in between events,
and players must turn in any instruction cards for any
skills they wish to learn during checkout, in addition
to writing what they wish on their character sheet. Until a player has enough instruction cards to learn a skill,
it is their responsibility to keep them. When a player
has enough instruction cards, he may then turn them
in to learn the skill. Stored instruction cards are the
responsibility of the player, so dont lose them! The
Skill Rarities are as follows.
Any of these skills may be learned without an Instruction Cards. They may be updated online between
events, at Check Out or Check In. The only exception
is unlearning a free skill still requires an instruction
card. All multiple purchase skills are considered free
after purchasing the first one, even if the first one was
Common, Uncommon or Rare.
CP Refunds
These are harder to learn skills, and represent an

amount of work gone into learning them. You may
not start with any skill that is uncommon, and finding
a teacher for uncommon skills is generally slightly
more difficult than common skills. Generally for uncommon skills, NPC instructors require more then
just money, such as doing them a favor or going on an
Adventure. Uncommon skills require 3 instruction
cards to learn.
Common
These are easy to learn skills, and represent the
vast majority of the skills in Requiem. NPC Instructors of common skills generally require only money or
small favors to teach them. Common Skills require 1
Instruction Card. Until 50 CP, your culture may help
you learn some of these skills without any Instruction
Cards.
Uncommon
Sometimes when you purchase a header, you may

find the same skill you already have under it for a
cheaper cost. If so, you are always assumed to have the
cheapest way that you can get the skill, and are refunded any CP if necessary. In addition, some skills
are a group of other skills, any skill which includes
another skill overrides the old skill and the old skills
CP is refunded. The general rule is you will never lose
CP, and always pay the best possible cost for skills.
This does not let you gain a cheaper cost for a different
but similar skill, such as Force Back (1 Agility: Disengage) or Rebuke (1 Spirit: Disengage). Any group skill
is considered the prerequisite if it contains the skill
that is required. For instance, if a certain skill has the
prerequisite of axe and your character has Weapon
Expertise (all weapon skills) then your character is considered to have the pre-requisite. Now the skill itself
may have the Armament Axe Restriction, which
means you could only use the skill with the requirements in the skills wording, in this case an axe.
Rare
These skills represent the best and hardest to learn
skills in Requiem. While there may be Epic or hidden
skills, nothing has a rarity higher then rare to actually
learn. NPCs will be selective and will generally require
a larger amount of work and resources to teach a Rare
skill. These skills require 10 Instruction Cards to learn.
95

Unlearning Skills
Special Skills
Any character that possesses Instruction Cards

may unlearn almost any skill that they posses. Any skill
that gives you a specific access to information, such as
a language may not be unlearned. In addition you may
not unlearn a skill that is a prerequisite to any skill you
possess, including headers, without first unlearning all
the skills that require the one you wish to unlearn. To
unlearn a skill you must inform a member of Plot at
Check In, agree to remove the skill from your character sheet. To get the CP back for the skill the same
amount of instruction cards as it would take to learn
the skill must be turned in, signifying your characters
time spent devoted towards other tasks. This always
takes a minimum of 1 event. You may only unlearn a
maximum of 1 skill per event.
Sometimes in game you may come across the

ability to learn a skill or header that is not in the skill
list. These are generally exceptionally rare and powerful skills, and usually require vast amounts of work and
sacrifice. Epic skills and Headers may not be taught to
other players without a specific Instruction skill, which
is also Epic. Most Epic skills are rare, but exceptions
do exist. In order to see Epic skills on the Character
Generator you must have a plot member give you
access to a specific skill or header. Remember that you
do not need to know what a skill does to know what
effect you take, as there will NEVER be epic skills that
give you the ability to generate an effect that does not
exist, without an Inflict or Imbue card.
Changing Your Mind
Attunement Skills
Epic Skills and Headers
If at any point during learning or unlearning a

skill you change your mind and do not wish to do
such anymore, you may decide to stop the process. At
the Check In or Check Out, talk to a member of Plot
and tell him you wish to stop learning or unlearning
the specific skill in question, and turn over all instruction cards related to such. You will regain the skill, in
the case of unlearning it or regain the saved CP for the
skill, in the case learning it.
Attunement skills are the most powerful of epic

skills, as they generally allow you access to something
extremely powerful that has an additional cost, as well
as just CP. All attunement skills cost Attunement
Points the same as Magic Items, and count towards
the same Attunement Score. This means that you may
not have an attunement skill if you have an Exclusive
Attunement Item, or vice versa. This is done to limit
the strength of a single character, or require him or her
to make choices on what they truly want.
Great Weapon Skills

Another form of epic skills is the skill in use of any
great weapon or shield. These weapons cannot be
learned from other players and must be taught with
permission of Plot. These weapons can be unsafe if
used wrongly, and such you must prove to Plot that
you would be able to act safely with such a skill. Any
complaints about such a skill from other players or
NPCs can end up in the removal of the skill, and refunding of all CP.

if you want the full CP for it. This deadline only affects the first draft you send in, and will still award you
CP if it is in the process of being approved. If you pass
the deadline, generally the CP will be awarded on the
event after, but exceptions do occur. Unless otherwise
specifically stated or extended, it is 2 weeks before the

Writing a Character History

This is pretty much one of the biggest fears that
players have, in starting a new character, but it really
doesnt have to be hard or painful at all. We have included an entire section of guidelines and help, to attempt to make this part a little easier. You need not be
a great writer, elegant or full of prose to attempt this
task. A computer with a spell checker and an idea of
your character is really what you need to start. Keep in
mind that there are no real set in stone rules about a
character history, but if you are stuck or lost, below
can help you out immensely. Even if you are very experienced at writing, we ask that you at least read below to see what we want Included, and what to Avoid.
Below will explain more about how to go about writing a character history, and easy steps to get it approved.
Length
A much argued and debated topic of character

histories are their length. Generally if Plot goes, we
want a 2+ page history, it can be intimidating. Keep in
mind that what we are really asking for is for you to
devote some time and effort to your first draft. Try not
to send us something that needs a lot of improvement
or doesnt even begin to address any of the points we
want covered in a history. If you have questions during
the project feel free to Email us specific questions
though, and we will attempt to get back to you as soon
as we can. The minimum length for a character history
is 2 pages, and we expect at least an hour or two devoted towards the project, in reading IG History and
writing your own. This minimum is set to avoid
people rushing and sending us in histories just for CP,
without any real content. There are no maximum to
character histories, and we dont really expect histories
to be as short as 2 pages. If yours is longer, or even
much longer, do not be worried. We will read any
length of them, though we do ask not to unnecessarily
pad them with not needed information just for length
purposes alone.
What it Accomplishes
Character Histories are the act of writing a character Bio and Summary of the history or past of the character, and are used to generate Plotlines or fit your
character into the world more seamlessly. To do a
Character History you must Email us and sure it follows the specific format, and includes all required
fields. Character histories help improve the game and
improve the enjoyment and involvement level you get
out of LARPing in general. It is much harder to next
to impossible to target specific people with Plotlines if
they have not at least attempted some sort of character
history. Ideally we want all characters to have a submitted and gotten an approved character history and
such are willing to give a large amount of CP for them,
which is explained in the Character History Award.
Writing a character history for your second character if
your first character Perms gives even great benefits according to the New Character CP Table.
Perspective
There is no hard and fast rule about the perspective that a character history has to be in. Depending
on the style of the writer, you, there can be different
ways of creatively addressing the perspective of a history. Some people choose to keep in confined to only
things their character would know and In Game in the
first person. Others like to write in the third person,
and describe actions the characters are doing, and others still like to narrate the story from someone else entirely. As long as you follow the general guidelines, we
encourage character histories done in any format that
you are most comfortable with. The bare minimum
can even just contain answers to the Questions, with
an introduction and conclusion paragraphs.
Deadline
While there is never a deadline to writing a character history, there is a deadline to receive CP for them
on a specific event. Keep in mind that character histories scale based off of the CP your character has as
well, so it is important to pay attention to this deadline
97

These, again, are not completely set in stone, but can
help guide you, if you are unsure about a specific idea.
These are not all encompassing though, and keep in
mind just because we do not specifically ask you to
avoid some things, we consider you to have common
sense in writing a history.
Creative Process
A lot of people are shy to make things up in their

history. We ask you not to be! If you need another
clan of Barbarians, or a remote sector of Dwarves that
have held against the Undead, then feel free. We ask
that you read over some of the general knowledge and
flavor of your race and the history of Nexus, and anything you dont find, feel free to include. We may alter
or include it somewhere else, but we dont want people
scared to think character histories will not be approved
if they make up too much. Certain hard and fast rules
(like the workings of magic, or the origin of the Undead) should be avoided, but really anything that does
not globally affect everyone else can be added to the
world, to flush it out even more. Exceptionally well
thought out additions, may be added to the general
knowledge or IG History, and may receive even more
CP, or any other bonus that Plot deems correct for the
amount for the work.
List to Avoid
Not everyone is an orphan and no other family.
No one is perfect, everyone has flaws.
You are not all powerful or all knowing.
Avoid making the character history hard to read, or
Approval Process
Once a character history is submitted a couple of

things can happen. If the history is well done, and
there are no issues, then the history can be approved
exactly as it stands. If the history is very close, but only
requires a few changes, we may just alter it directly,
and show you the approved and changed version. If
more editing or changes are required, we will ask you
to resubmit the history with a list of changes or suggestions. In very rare cases, we may ask that you completely start over, as the entire character concept does
not fit into the world we are trying to build. This generally does not happen, or only tends to happen in
cases of extremely wacky/silly concepts, such as time
travel, parallel worlds, or direct copy/plagiarism of
another authors work. If your character history is in
approval process, we will advance you the CP for it,
but we ask that you devote time and effort to completing it in a reasonable manner.
Things to Avoid
Do not be too scared about reading about histories

that have to be completely re-written, because anyone
that really tries to follow our set of guidelines generally
does not even have a problem staying in the confines
of what we want. For those that wish more information, we have a included a list of 20 things that we
wish players to avoid in writing character histories.
98
too cryptic.
Avoid anything that makes it harder on Plot.
Avoid Amnesia, Time Travel, and Alternate Universes.
Dont copy or plagiarize.
Avoid adding padding to history, just to make it
longer.
Avoid clichs and bland stereotypes.
Avoid too far against a stereotype too. Not everyone
is the one nice undead.
Avoid long lists of accomplishments; your character
is just starting out.
This is a social game, dont be a Loner, or against
being in groups.
Avoid not having any friends, family, acquaintances
or enemies.
Avoid adding a lot of facts your character would not
actually know.
Avoid overly graphic or offensive material if possible.
Dont resolve issues and conflicts in the history;
save them for In Game.
Avoid characters far from what you are like, they are
hard to play.
Beware of races or faiths with negative stigmas, they
are dangerous to play.
If you are going to be evil, be smart and subtle
about it.
Remember these are just guidelines, if you wish to
ignore them feel free, but do so realizing your history may not be approved.

50 Questions a Character History
should answer
Knowing what to avoid is helpful, but knowing what we would like is generally why you are reading this section. Ideally, a well done character history will answer all of the questions below, and should solidify your character for yourself. Some of the questions you might not have thought about yet, and the goal is to help you flush out
your character. You do not 100% have to answer every single question, but really we ask that you try to at least go
over them before writing a history. Plot are not psychics, and you cant really assume we will know something
about your character from inference or reference. You may choose to write a history purely on answering each of
these questions, but generally we ask that you try to write it in a more flowing and suitable manner. Some of these
questions are much more involved than others and will take a lot longer to explain, you should not weigh every
question equally. Remember that this is not a test, and there are no right and wrong answers, and not to be apprehensive about the number of them. They are there for a guideline, and for people that need help and direction
in writing a character history.

Included
Information
Information
Character histories are broken into a couple of
sections, which are designed to make it easier on Plot
to catalog, and go through everyones history. All of
the following should be covered in a character history.
For the Character History Award to be worth CP,
every section should be filled out and labeled appropriately, to begin the approval process. Character histories should at the minimum take an hour or two to
write, but feel free to put as much time and effort into
it as you wish. In general the more work and effort put
into a history, the more Plot is inclined to use it, and
the more a character fits into the world. You may never write a character history for someone else, but may
help or edit one, if asked. The Following categories, in
this order should be covered in a character history:
This is a 1 paragraph idea of what you wish to

accomplish, and what goals your character has. Do not
ignore this section, it is actually pretty important. All
short and long term goals, desires and plans should be
summarized here. This can be simply goals, or even
situations you the player wish to see your character in.
Include any conflicts, or cool mental images you
would love to see happen in game here. This should be
from the players perspective, not the characters. Include anything you wish to avoid as well.
History
This is the meat and potatoes of your history, and
what that should be at least 2 pages long. Feel free to
go into as much detail as you require here, to fully explain the above two ideas, and attempt to answer all
the questions about your character, and important
events that happened to them. The majority of time
spent writing a character history should go into this
section.
Timeline

Your full real name.
Email
Your email address.
Character Name:

Race:

character
Timeline:
List of important events and times
Glossary:
List of important names and places
Other Sections:
Anything else you wish to include
Core Concept
This is a 1 paragraph summary of the core concept
of your character. You should be able to sum up your
character in a single paragraph for readers at the beginning of the history, in a way that explains all relevant and key points. Try not to include too much, or
think of this as how you would explain your character
to anyone if they were to ask, without going into any
great detail.
Statement of Intent
101
Any important events mentioned in the above

history should be included in a short one line phrases,
in an ordered timeline. This helps concrete the history
in your and Plots mind, and shows at a glance what
happened to your character and when. All timeline
entries should be dated with at least a month/year, and
should begin with your character being born, and end
with him coming to Runevale.
Glossary
All names that are used in the above history
should be included in a glossary. Any names or important places that you made up should be included with
a short one line phrase that explains them again. This
is very helpful to quickly reference a person, place or
thing that is important. Put [Deceased] next to any
dead character in the glossary. Any difficult names
must include a pronunciation guide.
Other Sections
If there are any other sections that you wish to

include above and beyond the above ones, feel free. If
you wish to organize it into chapters, diary dates, or
any other method, feel free to be creative and as long
as it has at least the aforementioned sections, you
many have any additional parts or divisions that make
sense to you.

RequieM Chapter 4 Matrixes

Using this Matrix
Cost
How many times a character is capable of generating a skill is the next category. Skills with a fueling
requirement will have the number then an abbreviation for stat. The ANY word used for skills that can
be fueled with any attribute, and the EACH word
means it takes the number of each of the 4 main
attributes (INT, STR, SPI, AGI). Instead of an
attribute, some skills have an asterisk (*), this skill can
be fueled with any attribute but changes based on
which. An X means the number of attributes can be
anything. A plus sign (+) means that it takes all of a
specific attribute, but you must have at least the number stated to generate it. If a skill has a number then a
/, it can be used that many times per the time stated,
such as per Battle, per Refresh, per Event, and per
Year. Skills with no Cost may be continuous or used
indefinitely.
There are a lot of skills in Requiem A LOT.

This can be overwhelming at first, but everything is
built so that if you know all the Effects in the Core
Rules, you know all the skills. Any skill not covered in
with a standard effect will have an Imbue or Inflict
Card that accompanies it. Remember that you do not
need to know how a skill was generated, just what the
effect does.
Tables
Each of the tables in this document represents a
single Header, which is a grouping of like skills. To
purchase any of the skills in the header requires the
header be purchased. The CP cost of all headers, and
any prerequisite header is conveniently located at the
top of each header.
Description
Skill Names
The description of a skill lets you know what it

does. Restrictions or extra Phys-Rep requirements are
stated afterwards with an asterisk. Any required RP
time to activate the skill is also stated. This time must
be spent, but the exact nature of how you role-play it
is up to you. Some skills may require further clarification, in which you should see if the skill has a long
description in the Skill Descriptions chapter.
The name of the skill is the first category. Uncommon skills are in grey/white. Rare skills are in italics, grey/white, and have a (R) preceding them. No
uncommon or rare skills may be purchased at the start
without using Influence. Skills are primarily sorted by
rarity, so uncommon and rare skills are always at the
bottom of a header. Some skill types, such as Knowledge or Harvest are also stated in the name for ease.
An asterisk (*) next to the skill name means it requires
an extra Phys-Rep, and a (NC) means it counts towards the Non-Combat skill requirement.
Prerequisite
Some skills, in addition to requiring the Header,

also require the purchase of an additional one or more
skills. Some skills require that you do not purchase a
skill, in which it will clearly state Cant buy in front
of the skill. An or means either skill is an acceptable
prerequisite, where a comma (,) means that all of the
skills are needed
CP
The cost of a skill in Character Points is the next

category. If a skill can be purchased multiple times, it
will have a number in parenthesis, such as (*3x) meaning it can be purchased three times, while (*x) means it
can be purchased as many times as needed. Every other skill may only be purchased once. Skills with an
asterisk (*) must be purchased, as they are disadvantages. Skills with two asterisks (**) cannot be purchased
normally and must be found, taught, or awarded In
Game. Skills are secondarily sorted by CP, so lower
CP skills are at the top, and higher CP skills at the
bottom. Remember that if a skill is common and 0
CP in a Header you purchased, you can start with it
automatically!
