983137983124983124983154983145983138983157983124983141983155The eight attributes shared by all creatures in the gameworld make up the backbone o the ruleset They are meantto reflect what basic characteristics the 983120983107 has developedover the years and consequently how well prepared the 983120983107is or handling different types o challenges When the 983120983107is acing a chal lenge the player grabs a 983108983090983088 and tries to roll

under the va lue in one o its attributes In other words thehigher the value t he more apt the 983120983107 is in that regard

A vital aspect o character creation is to decide what attrib-utes should be the 983120983107s strongpoints Attribute values normallyrange rom 983093 to 983089983093 and there are two ways to distribute valueson the character sheet ndash either you use the typical values

983093 983095 983097 983089983088 983089983088 983089983089 983089983091 and 983089983093 and assign each o them to one othe attributes or you take 983096983088 value-points and distributethem as you wish (no single value being below 983093 or over 983089983093)

Secondary attributes are derived rom the basic onesand include Toughness (= Strong but never below 983089983088) Painthreshold (= Strong983090) Deense (= Quick) Corruption threshold(= Resolute983090)

Traits reflect both social and physical characteristics o therace For instance all goblins and ogres have the trait Pariahmaking them sta rt with less money and having to make twosuccessul dice rolls to succeed in most social challengesAmbrian humans can h ave the trait Privileged which worksmuch the other way around

The physical traits unction like Abilities (see below) andmay be developed by spending experience points For instancethe ogre can be Robust thereby hitting harder resistingmore damage but being easier to hit the changeling canConfuse that is alter the perception o its appearance voiceand even clothing

However both archetypes and occupations are mere rec-ommendations meant to be inspirational and exempliying

There is nothing that states that you have to choose one othe fifeen listed occupations when creating you characterMore on that later on hellip

983137983138983145983148983145983124983145983141983155The abilities are what really give a character in Symbaroumits distinct role and place in the game world They represent apersonrsquos skill to utilize hisher basic attributes as efficiently aspossible and are graded in three levels rom novice to master

Most o the 983091983093 abilities are related to combat Some makesit possible or the 983120983107 to attack or deend with other attributesbesides Accurate or Defense For instance the novice levelin the ability Iron Fist lets you roll the attack dice against

the 983120983107s Strong when engaged in melee and the ability SixthSense lets you attack with Vigilant (instead o Accurate) whenusing ranged weapons Others let you deal more damage(eg Berserker Natural Warrior) pin down enemies (egSharpshooter) avoid opportunity attacks when passing byan opponent (eg Acrobatics Equestrian) or lower the enemyrsquosdeense or armor value (eg Two-Handed Force)

Some o the combat abilities can be used or other kindso challenges ( Acrobatics may let you climb a wall withoutrolling the dice) but there are also abilities that have littleor nothing to do with fighting Depending on your levelthe Scholar ability gives you social and arcane knowledge

as well as the ability to read and communicate on otherlanguages Medicus lets you treat and investigate woundsdisease Alchemy lets you produce and understand toxinsand other elixirs You will also have access to the ability

Exceptional Attribute which makes it possible to add 983089 to 983091points to an attribute value Last but not least there are theMystical Abilities described down below

A 983120983107 typically starts the game with two abilities on thenovice level and one on the adept level Interestingly enoughmuch o the actual effect o the individual abilities comes

rom how you combine them with others And i you arereally serious you take some time to talk to t he other playersbeore selecting abilities or you 983120983107 The efficiency o the groupwill greatly depend on how you mix and mash the abilities

983149983161983155983124983145983139983137983148 983124983154983137983140983145983124983145983151983150983155 983078 983137983138983145983148983145983124983145983141983155All 983120983107s can learn mystical abilities (ie spells) and rituals butnot without the risk o becoming spiritually corrupted Tolower the risk or corruption you have to master the theoryand practice o some Mystical Tradition (Wizardry Theurgyor Witchcraf) designed or precisely that purpose Once thatis done you can stil l select whichever spell you want but the

tradition will only protect you when learning a nd using theones covered by its theory and practiceThe wizards of Ordo Magica are typically disciplined

students o the natura l laws They can or instance dealdamage with spells like Firewall and Sulfur Spray influenceopponents with Mind Control and Disorder or manipulategravity with Telekinesis and Levitation

The Theurgs are servants o the dying Sun God PriosAmong other things they can treat the wounded and sickwith Healing or Inherit Wound draw rom Prios strength with Holy Aura or Witchhammer or deal dam age with Soul Burn

Witches deal with t he power o the wilds ollowing thepath o the blood the winds and all things growing The

can or instance become one with nature with spells likeShapeshifing or Naturersquos Grasp ensnare enemies with Bewitch or Vines and deal damage with Larva Boil or Wind Arrow

There is also the dark tradition o Sorcery practiced bymystics who embrace rather than try to avoid corruptionBut we will not go into detail about them in this docu ment hellip

983139983151983154983154983157983152983124983145983151983150Corruption is naturersquos way o responding to all attempts towarp violate or exploit it The rules distinguish betweenTemporary and Permanent Corruption The latter is afflictedon the 983120983107 when it or instance learns a mystical ability or

ritual binds with a mystical artiact or when its total cor-ruption reaches the 983120983107s Corruption Threshold TemporaryCorruption melts away at the end o the scene and is orexample gained when casting spells using mystical artiacts

On PC ExperienceIn Symbaroum the PC typically gains one experience

point for every challenge it overcomes Later those

points may be traded in for new abilities or higher levels

in the ones already mastered That is the basis of the

gamersquos character progression

suffering injuries rom certain beasts or travelling throughespecially da rk places in Davokar

To calculate a personrsquos Total Corruption you simply addany temporary corruption to the permanent one Dependingon the amount o total corruption the 983120983107 will suffer spiritualas well as physical sti983143983149as As soon as the 983120983107 receives his firstpoint o corruption his shadow (or aura) gets tainted (a taintwhich may be detected with rituals spells and the abilityWitchsight) Later when the total corruption surpasses thecorruption threshold the 983120983107 suffers some orm o physicalsti983143983149a ndash eg wounds that wonrsquot heal eyes that glitter in thedark sulurous breath a taste or raw flesh or lukewarm blood

Even urther down the road when the total corruptionsurpasses the double corruption threshold it is over anddone the 983120983107 transorms into a ull-fledged blight beast andnothing can reverse t hat process

983141983153983157983145983152983149983141983150983124Finally some notes on equipment or to be precise on the weap-

ons and armor o Symbaroum In the hands o a player char-acter a weapon basically does 983089983108983092 to 983089983108983089983088 in damage ndash ranging

rom unarmed (983108983092) via daggers (983108983094) and one-handed arms(983108983096) to heavy weapons (983108983089983088) Armor worn by a 983120983107 absorbs983089983108983092 to 983089983108983096 o damage (Note that 983118983120983107s and other antagonistshave fixed damage and armor values consequently rangingrom 983090 to 983093 or weapons and 983090 to 983092 or armors)

Adding to this a re the qualities A one-handed weapontypically does 983089983108983096 in damage but the Raven Axe has thequality Deep-Reaching giving it +983089 in damage and (sadly)also making it five times as expensive Other qualities makethe weapon easier to hit with (Precise) boosts the deensevalue (Balanced) or awards its ca rrier an opportunity attackwhen entering into melee (Long)

Armors always have the Quality I mpeding reducingthe deense value o the one wearing it (easier to hit butwithstands more damage) But that can to some extent becounteracted with the quality Flexible (less hindering butmuch more expensive)

In other words starting with a basic damagearmor valueand adding positive or negative (eg Blunt or Cumbersome)

qualities you can easily design and mimic any kind o specificweapon and armor

So hellip My 983120983107 is a low-born noble and some type o comman-der I take a look at the archetypes and find the occupationsCaptain and Knight The ormer one seems most in line withmy intentions so I take a minute to ponder its suggestionsconcerning attributes and abilities It says that Persuasiveshould be my strongest attribute and that I should considerthe abilities Dominate Leader Armor Proficienc y and Shield Fighter The Dominate ability catches my eye hellip

The novice level o the Dominate ability makes it possibleor the 983120983107 to use the attribute Persuasive instead o Accurate when attacking in melee In addition the adept level givesthe 983120983107 a cha nce to make an enemy hesitate and look or someother target to attack I kind o like t hat picturing my 983120983107 asthe stern and confident warrior who silently dominates thebattlefield just by staring down his enemies Obviously thismeans that I need to assign a high value to Persuasive so Iturn to the attributes beore selecting the other abilities

Running with the typical distribution o 983093 983095 983097 983089983088 983089983088 983089983089983089983091 983089983093 I first and oremost attribute 983089983093 to Persuasive I also want

him to be kind o imposing so I assign 983089983091 to Strong But whatwill be his weaker points Well he is a commander so I guessthat he would have others to help him sneak scout and suchHe will have 983093 in Discreet 983095 in Vigilant and 983097 in Cunning Thevalues lef or Accurate Quick and Resolute are much the samebut Irsquoll put the 983089983089 on Resolute just to give him an extra edge whenit comes to withstanding mind controlling spells and the like

So back to the abilities hellip I could go with Leader but aferconcluding that it would not do me much good on the nov-ice level (I have already made Dominate my level II ability)I choose Armor Proficiency directly giving me +983089 dice tier inarmor value (eg 983108983092rarr983108983094 or 983108983094rarr983108983096) For my second novice

ability I eel like selecting something to give the characterflavor something that stands out compared to your typicalcommander I choose Witchsight making it possible or my 983120983107to see the dominant shadow o a person or a place ndash apparentlyhe was lef behind in Alberetor because he had a gif orldquosniffing out blight-stricken creaturesrdquo But wait hellip Witchsight uses Vigilant to reveal heretics and corruption Irsquod betterreturn to t he attributes and boost that one switching the 983095in Vigilant or the 983089983089 in Resolute

As or mystical traditions and powers I can skip that ormy 983120983107 and the same goes or corruption Sure the abilityWitchsight costs 983089983108983092 temporary corruption to use ndash orcingthe shadowplane to reveal its secrets is not done without

risk But there is no cost in permanent corruption to learnit so letrsquos instead turn to the weapons and armor section

As a privileged human I start the game with 983093983088 silverthaler in my purse Incidentally thatrsquos the price or a ullplate mail so i I buy that I cannot afford anything else BahI donrsquot want a cumbersome plate mail anyway I settle or astandard scale mail cost ing 983093 thaler giving me minus983091 in Deense (Impeding) and absorbing 983089983108983094 damage ndash or rather 983089983108983096 sinceI have the ability Armor Proficiency

Great now I have money lef to buy mysel a fine swordI settle on the duel sword at the cost o 983090983093 thaler It has thequality Precise giving me +983089 when attacking I also add a

standard shield (+983089 in Deense) a bow and a quiver with 983090983088arrows With the ranged weapon I have to roll against Accurate when attacking but one cannot be without the ability toattack rom aar can one

Letrsquos fght983148983141983124991257983155 983149983137983147983141 983124983144983145983155 983155983145983149983152983148983141 just to cover the basics o fightingEdogai is traveling with a caravan th rough the Titans desti-ned or the Ambrian capital Yndaros The wagons have madea stop and he walks away to take a leak When zipping up hehears a growling and turns around to ace a lone jakaar (awol-like beast) The predator looks amished and desperatein consequence stupid enough to attack our brave captain

First we need to have a basic understanding o the combatmechanics Basically when aced with a challenge in thegame world the player must roll a 983108983090983088 In order to overcomethe challenge the dice must land on a figure which is equalto or lower than the player characterrsquos value in one o theattributes For instance i the character tries to do somethingwhich requires him to be quiet or cautious the attributeDiscreet is used i he searches or something or is on hisguard then Vigilant is the act ive attribute

However there are two aspects that add to the complexityFirst the Abilities which represent the particular skills o

a player character The abilities sometimes open up or theplayer to use another attribute than the one which seemsnatural in a certa in situation In the case o my dear Edogaithe ability Dominate lets him attack with Persuasive insteado Accurate when in melee Another character mastering theability Iron Fist would roll against Strong and so on

The other aspect has to do with the act that ma ny chal-lenges become easier or harder depending on who or whatthe character interacts with Sneaking past a guard is orinstance easier or harder depending on how Vigilant theguard is And to hit an enemy with a sword can be moreor less difficult depending on how Quick the opponent is

Rule-wise this is achieved by modiying the value that theplayer must roll against most ofen in a way which directlyrelates to some attribute value o the opponent In concreteterms I the aorementioned guard has the mediocre valueo 983089983088 in Vigilant no modification is made (plusmn983088) i the guardis very absentminded and only has 983093 in Vigilant the playergets to add 983093 (+983093) to the attribute he must roll against andshould the guard be so watchul that he has 983089983093 in Vigilant theplayer must subtract 983093 (minus983093) rom the value he needs to rollunder with the 983108983090983088

Because o the latter the stats o the jakaar Edogai is acingare displayed like this having modifiers tied to the attributesand also fixed values or weapons and armor

Edogai has time to draw his sword beore the jakaar makesits move He also activates his Witchsight to find out i the jakaar is blight-stricken and thereby more dangerous thanyour ordinary beast The 983143983149 tells me (the player) that I mustroll against Vigilant modified by minus983089 (the enemyrsquos Discreet) tobe able to read the shadow I grab the 983108983090983088 and hope to rollequal to or under 983089983088 [Vigilant 983089983089 modified by minus983089] The dicelands on a 983095 The 983143983149 says that according to my reading thecreature is without taint and then he reminds me to roll a983108983092 to determine how much the reading corrupts Edogai I rolla 983090 and make a note o that on the character sheet next toTemporary Corruption

When the jakaar lunches orward we first determine t heorder o initiative based on the attribute Quick The wol beasthas 983089983093 Edogai 983089983088 so the jakaar gets to attack fi rst

The 983143983149 tells me to roll a 983108983090983088 or Defense modified by thewolrsquos Accurate which is minus983091 Hence I must roll 983093 or lower to avoidbeing bit [Deense 983096 modified by minus983091] The dice lands on a 983095 and the

jakaar bites down on me But I can still avoid being damagedThe 983143983149 tells me that the bite does 983092 in da mage I grab my

armor dice (983108983096) and roll a 983091 One o the wol angs penetratesmy scale mail but the injury is not that bad (983092minus983091=983089) I makea note o the damage received on my character sheet thenit is Edogairsquos time to retaliate

The 983143983149 inorms me that the enemy has minus983093 in Defense butat first I ignore that and tries to dominate the beast Thatrequires me to make a successul roll against Persuasive modified by the opponents Resolute [Persuasive 983089983093 modifiedby Resolute +983089 = 983089983094] I roll a 983092 and the poor wol will not beable to attack during the u983120983107oming turn Now letrsquos attack

suffering injuries rom certain beasts or travelling throughespecially da rk places in Davokar

To calculate a personrsquos Total Corruption you simply addany temporary corruption to the permanent one Dependingon the amount o total corruption the 983120983107 will suffer spiritualas well as physical sti983143983149as As soon as the 983120983107 receives his firstpoint o corruption his shadow (or aura) gets tainted (a taintwhich may be detected with rituals spells and the abilityWitchsight) Later when the total corruption surpasses thecorruption threshold the 983120983107 suffers some orm o physicalsti983143983149a ndash eg wounds that wonrsquot heal eyes that glitter in thedark sulurous breath a taste or raw flesh or lukewarm blood

Even urther down the road when the total corruptionsurpasses the double corruption threshold it is over anddone the 983120983107 transorms into a ull-fledged blight beast andnothing can reverse t hat process

983141983153983157983145983152983149983141983150983124Finally some notes on equipment or to be precise on the weap-

ons and armor o Symbaroum In the hands o a player char-acter a weapon basically does 983089983108983092 to 983089983108983089983088 in damage ndash ranging

rom unarmed (983108983092) via daggers (983108983094) and one-handed arms(983108983096) to heavy weapons (983108983089983088) Armor worn by a 983120983107 absorbs983089983108983092 to 983089983108983096 o damage (Note that 983118983120983107s and other antagonistshave fixed damage and armor values consequently rangingrom 983090 to 983093 or weapons and 983090 to 983092 or armors)

Adding to this a re the qualities A one-handed weapontypically does 983089983108983096 in damage but the Raven Axe has thequality Deep-Reaching giving it +983089 in damage and (sadly)also making it five times as expensive Other qualities makethe weapon easier to hit with (Precise) boosts the deensevalue (Balanced) or awards its ca rrier an opportunity attackwhen entering into melee (Long)

Armors always have the Quality I mpeding reducingthe deense value o the one wearing it (easier to hit butwithstands more damage) But that can to some extent becounteracted with the quality Flexible (less hindering butmuch more expensive)

In other words starting with a basic damagearmor valueand adding positive or negative (eg Blunt or Cumbersome)

qualities you can easily design and mimic any kind o specificweapon and armor

So hellip My 983120983107 is a low-born noble and some type o comman-der I take a look at the archetypes and find the occupationsCaptain and Knight The ormer one seems most in line withmy intentions so I take a minute to ponder its suggestionsconcerning attributes and abilities It says that Persuasiveshould be my strongest attribute and that I should considerthe abilities Dominate Leader Armor Proficienc y and Shield Fighter The Dominate ability catches my eye hellip

The novice level o the Dominate ability makes it possibleor the 983120983107 to use the attribute Persuasive instead o Accurate when attacking in melee In addition the adept level givesthe 983120983107 a cha nce to make an enemy hesitate and look or someother target to attack I kind o like t hat picturing my 983120983107 asthe stern and confident warrior who silently dominates thebattlefield just by staring down his enemies Obviously thismeans that I need to assign a high value to Persuasive so Iturn to the attributes beore selecting the other abilities

Running with the typical distribution o 983093 983095 983097 983089983088 983089983088 983089983089983089983091 983089983093 I first and oremost attribute 983089983093 to Persuasive I also want

him to be kind o imposing so I assign 983089983091 to Strong But whatwill be his weaker points Well he is a commander so I guessthat he would have others to help him sneak scout and suchHe will have 983093 in Discreet 983095 in Vigilant and 983097 in Cunning Thevalues lef or Accurate Quick and Resolute are much the samebut Irsquoll put the 983089983089 on Resolute just to give him an extra edge whenit comes to withstanding mind controlling spells and the like

So back to the abilities hellip I could go with Leader but aferconcluding that it would not do me much good on the nov-ice level (I have already made Dominate my level II ability)I choose Armor Proficiency directly giving me +983089 dice tier inarmor value (eg 983108983092rarr983108983094 or 983108983094rarr983108983096) For my second novice

ability I eel like selecting something to give the characterflavor something that stands out compared to your typicalcommander I choose Witchsight making it possible or my 983120983107to see the dominant shadow o a person or a place ndash apparentlyhe was lef behind in Alberetor because he had a gif orldquosniffing out blight-stricken creaturesrdquo But wait hellip Witchsight uses Vigilant to reveal heretics and corruption Irsquod betterreturn to t he attributes and boost that one switching the 983095in Vigilant or the 983089983089 in Resolute

As or mystical traditions and powers I can skip that ormy 983120983107 and the same goes or corruption Sure the abilityWitchsight costs 983089983108983092 temporary corruption to use ndash orcingthe shadowplane to reveal its secrets is not done without

risk But there is no cost in permanent corruption to learnit so letrsquos instead turn to the weapons and armor section

As a privileged human I start the game with 983093983088 silverthaler in my purse Incidentally thatrsquos the price or a ullplate mail so i I buy that I cannot afford anything else BahI donrsquot want a cumbersome plate mail anyway I settle or astandard scale mail cost ing 983093 thaler giving me minus983091 in Deense (Impeding) and absorbing 983089983108983094 damage ndash or rather 983089983108983096 sinceI have the ability Armor Proficiency

Great now I have money lef to buy mysel a fine swordI settle on the duel sword at the cost o 983090983093 thaler It has thequality Precise giving me +983089 when attacking I also add a

standard shield (+983089 in Deense) a bow and a quiver with 983090983088arrows With the ranged weapon I have to roll against Accurate when attacking but one cannot be without the ability toattack rom aar can one

First we need to have a basic understanding o the combatmechanics Basically when aced with a challenge in thegame world the player must roll a 983108983090983088 In order to overcomethe challenge the dice must land on a figure which is equalto or lower than the player characterrsquos value in one o theattributes For instance i the character tries to do somethingwhich requires him to be quiet or cautious the attributeDiscreet is used i he searches or something or is on hisguard then Vigilant is the act ive attribute

However there are two aspects that add to the complexityFirst the Abilities which represent the particular skills o

a player character The abilities sometimes open up or theplayer to use another attribute than the one which seemsnatural in a certa in situation In the case o my dear Edogaithe ability Dominate lets him attack with Persuasive insteado Accurate when in melee Another character mastering theability Iron Fist would roll against Strong and so on

The other aspect has to do with the act that ma ny chal-lenges become easier or harder depending on who or whatthe character interacts with Sneaking past a guard is orinstance easier or harder depending on how Vigilant theguard is And to hit an enemy with a sword can be moreor less difficult depending on how Quick the opponent is

Rule-wise this is achieved by modiying the value that theplayer must roll against most ofen in a way which directlyrelates to some attribute value o the opponent In concreteterms I the aorementioned guard has the mediocre valueo 983089983088 in Vigilant no modification is made (plusmn983088) i the guardis very absentminded and only has 983093 in Vigilant the playergets to add 983093 (+983093) to the attribute he must roll against andshould the guard be so watchul that he has 983089983093 in Vigilant theplayer must subtract 983093 (minus983093) rom the value he needs to rollunder with the 983108983090983088

Because o the latter the stats o the jakaar Edogai is acingare displayed like this having modifiers tied to the attributesand also fixed values or weapons and armor

Edogai has time to draw his sword beore the jakaar makesits move He also activates his Witchsight to find out i the jakaar is blight-stricken and thereby more dangerous thanyour ordinary beast The 983143983149 tells me (the player) that I mustroll against Vigilant modified by minus983089 (the enemyrsquos Discreet) tobe able to read the shadow I grab the 983108983090983088 and hope to rollequal to or under 983089983088 [Vigilant 983089983089 modified by minus983089] The dicelands on a 983095 The 983143983149 says that according to my reading thecreature is without taint and then he reminds me to roll a983108983092 to determine how much the reading corrupts Edogai I rolla 983090 and make a note o that on the character sheet next toTemporary Corruption

When the jakaar lunches orward we first determine t heorder o initiative based on the attribute Quick The wol beasthas 983089983093 Edogai 983089983088 so the jakaar gets to attack fi rst

The 983143983149 tells me to roll a 983108983090983088 or Defense modified by thewolrsquos Accurate which is minus983091 Hence I must roll 983093 or lower to avoidbeing bit [Deense 983096 modified by minus983091] The dice lands on a 983095 and the

jakaar bites down on me But I can still avoid being damagedThe 983143983149 tells me that the bite does 983092 in da mage I grab my

armor dice (983108983096) and roll a 983091 One o the wol angs penetratesmy scale mail but the injury is not that bad (983092minus983091=983089) I makea note o the damage received on my character sheet thenit is Edogairsquos time to retaliate

The 983143983149 inorms me that the enemy has minus983093 in Defense butat first I ignore that and tries to dominate the beast Thatrequires me to make a successul roll against Persuasive modified by the opponents Resolute [Persuasive 983089983093 modifiedby Resolute +983089 = 983089983094] I roll a 983092 and the poor wol will not beable to attack during the u983120983107oming turn Now letrsquos attack

Letrsquos fght983148983141983124991257983155 983149983137983147983141 983124983144983145983155 983155983145983149983152983148983141 just to cover the basics o fightingEdogai is traveling with a caravan th rough the Titans desti-ned or the Ambrian capital Yndaros The wagons have madea stop and he walks away to take a leak When zipping up hehears a growling and turns around to ace a lone jakaar (awol-like beast) The predator looks amished and desperatein consequence stupid enough to attack our brave captain

First we need to have a basic understanding o the combatmechanics Basically when aced with a challenge in thegame world the player must roll a 983108983090983088 In order to overcomethe challenge the dice must land on a figure which is equalto or lower than the player characterrsquos value in one o theattributes For instance i the character tries to do somethingwhich requires him to be quiet or cautious the attributeDiscreet is used i he searches or something or is on hisguard then Vigilant is the act ive attribute

However there are two aspects that add to the complexityFirst the Abilities which represent the particular skills o

a player character The abilities sometimes open up or theplayer to use another attribute than the one which seemsnatural in a certa in situation In the case o my dear Edogaithe ability Dominate lets him attack with Persuasive insteado Accurate when in melee Another character mastering theability Iron Fist would roll against Strong and so on

The other aspect has to do with the act that ma ny chal-lenges become easier or harder depending on who or whatthe character interacts with Sneaking past a guard is orinstance easier or harder depending on how Vigilant theguard is And to hit an enemy with a sword can be moreor less difficult depending on how Quick the opponent is

Rule-wise this is achieved by modiying the value that theplayer must roll against most ofen in a way which directlyrelates to some attribute value o the opponent In concreteterms I the aorementioned guard has the mediocre valueo 983089983088 in Vigilant no modification is made (plusmn983088) i the guardis very absentminded and only has 983093 in Vigilant the playergets to add 983093 (+983093) to the attribute he must roll against andshould the guard be so watchul that he has 983089983093 in Vigilant theplayer must subtract 983093 (minus983093) rom the value he needs to rollunder with the 983108983090983088

Because o the latter the stats o the jakaar Edogai is acingare displayed like this having modifiers tied to the attributesand also fixed values or weapons and armor

Edogai has time to draw his sword beore the jakaar makesits move He also activates his Witchsight to find out i the jakaar is blight-stricken and thereby more dangerous thanyour ordinary beast The 983143983149 tells me (the player) that I mustroll against Vigilant modified by minus983089 (the enemyrsquos Discreet) tobe able to read the shadow I grab the 983108983090983088 and hope to rollequal to or under 983089983088 [Vigilant 983089983089 modified by minus983089] The dicelands on a 983095 The 983143983149 says that according to my reading thecreature is without taint and then he reminds me to roll a983108983092 to determine how much the reading corrupts Edogai I rolla 983090 and make a note o that on the character sheet next toTemporary Corruption
