How to Play

Points

When you level up, you gain 4 Points. These can be spent to improve your character in a few key ways.

You may spend Points on:

• Gain a new Ability — 2 Points Learn a new ability from any one of your sources.
• Learn a new Word of Power — 1 Point for Level 1 / 2 Points for Level 5 / 3 Points for Level 10 Add a new Word of Power from any one of your sources to your collection for use in Sorcery
• Learn a Word of Power in Play — 1 Point for Level 1 / 2 Points for Level 5 / 3 Points for Level 10 Add a new Word of Power to your collection for use in Sorcery from a source found during play.
• Gain Mastery with a Weapon — 2 Points for Level 1 / 3 Points for Level 2 Become skilled with a Weapon, learning its Weapon Ability.
• Gain Mastery with a Magic Item — 1 Point Become familiar with a Magic Item, learning its Magical Ability.
• Learn a new Profession (Origin) — 8 Points Learn a new Profession from the Origins List, add everything listed under that Profession to your character sheet.

While Points are primarily gained through levelling up, the GM may occasionally award additional Points during play for exceptional moments, accomplishments, or character growth.

These awards should remain relatively rare and meaningful. A bonus Point might be granted for completing a major story arc, permanently changing the world or setting, achieving an extraordinary feat, exceptional roleplay, overcoming overwhelming odds, or making a sacrifice that significantly shaped the story.

Attuning to a Magic Item and learning a Word of Power in Play are the only times to spend points while in the middle of a session. All other ways to use points are done at the end of session.
