# Adventuring!
|
||||
|
||||
Adventuring! is a fantasy campaign run in Yacsra (yet another campaign setting roughly assembled). Previously [a 13th
|
||||
Age game](/13th-age/adventuring/), this is a currently speculative-only attempt at creating the vibe in the Cypher
|
||||
System.
|
||||
|
||||
## Campaign Synopsis
|
||||
|
||||
* The universe is a wide assortment of planes, including law/chaos, good/evil, and light/dark forces, connected via an
|
||||
astral plane.
|
||||
* Magic is common but not commonly-practiced, and is nearly limitless in potential (e.g. *wish*, *true resurrection*,
|
||||
etc.).
|
||||
* Casting magic can be learned, divinely bestowed, or inherent.
|
||||
* Civilization ranges from hunter tribes to grand metropolises, points of light with much uncharted territory in
|
||||
between.
|
||||
* The world is old, many civilizations have risen and fallen.
|
||||
* The world itself is magical, and not strictly bound by natural law.
|
||||
* Humans, elves, and dwarves are most common among civilized lands, but plenty of other intelligent humanoids show up.
|
||||
|
||||
## Characters
|
||||
|
||||
* [Ramaria](ramaria) is an inquisitive fungoid cleric [speaker] who channels divine blessings.
|
||||
|
||||
## Character Creation
|
||||
|
||||
At their basic level, characters are defined as *NAME is a [adjective] [adjective] [noun] who [verbs]*. Adjectives are
|
||||
**descriptors**, and PCs get two; one general descriptor and one racial descriptor (or two general descriptors for
|
||||
humans). Nouns are **types**, similar to character classes, and verbs are **foci**.
|
||||
|
||||
Chapter 4 of the *Cypher System Rulebook* details character creation, with description of the mechanical elements, and a
|
||||
small sidebar summarizing the steps to take to create a character.
|
||||
|
||||
### Sources
|
||||
|
||||
The majority of the options below are found, and best described, in the *Cypher System Rulebook*, with an open gaming
|
||||
version available via the [Cypher SRD](http://www.cyphersrd.com/). Most others come from *Godforsaken*, which will
|
||||
eventually be added to the Cypher SRD. Anything homebrew we'll write up and link to here.
|
||||
|
||||
I skipped listing a lot of the core content, because there's no point in repeating that everything in the core book/SRD
|
||||
are fair game --- the exception to this are the foci, which are tailored below.
|
||||
|
||||
### Types, or ideas therein
|
||||
|
||||
The four [types (SRD)](http://www.cyphersrd.com/type.php) are all relevant to the game (note: the SRD is currently
|
||||
missing some Warrior tables). That resource, and additional information in *Godforsaken*, have suggestions on how to
|
||||
build all of the classic classes via the type system. For example, a barbarian would likely be a Warrior that takes the
|
||||
Rages ability, but a bard might easily be an Explorer or a Speaker, depending on the concept and desired abilities.
|
||||
|
||||
[Customization (SRD)](http://www.cyphersrd.com/type_customization.php) continues additional ideas, especially Flavors,
|
||||
which are not dissimilar to the idea of subclassing. A spellblade may be a Warrior with the Magic flavor, for example.
|
||||
|
||||
*Godforsaken* has the best guidance here, though plenty of ideas are presented in the core book/SRD.
|
||||
|
||||
### Descriptors
|
||||
|
||||
Descriptors are the adjectives for the character, describing how the character goes about their business. All of the
|
||||
[Descriptors (SRD)](http://www.cyphersrd.com/descriptor.php) in the core book are fair game, generally speaking, as are
|
||||
the [Fantasy Species Descriptors (SRD)](http://www.cyphersrd.com/genres.php). *Godforsaken* also has a couple more, plus
|
||||
whatever we might homebrew:
|
||||
|
||||
* *Godforsaken:* Catfolk; Dragonfolk; Gnome; Halfling; Lizardfolk
|
||||
|
||||
### Foci
|
||||
|
||||
Foci are the possible verb-phrases that describe what the character does and is good at, beyond the basics from their
|
||||
type. Most but not all foci in the core book are suitable for the campaign. The following is a mostly-vetted list of
|
||||
core and *Godforsaken* foci (others are negotiable):
|
||||
|
||||
* *Core:* Abides in Stone; Bears A Halo of Fire; Blazes With Radiance; Builds Robots; Channels Divine Blessings;
|
||||
Commands Mental Powers; Consorts With the Dead; Controls Beasts; Crafts Illusions; Crafts Unique Objects; Defends the
|
||||
Gate; Defends the Weak; Descends From Nobility; Entertains; Exists In Two Places At Once; Exists Partially Out Of
|
||||
Phase; Explores Dark Places; Fights Dirty; Fights With Panache; Focuses Mind Over Matter; Howls At The Moon; Hunts;
|
||||
Infiltrates; Keeps A Magic Ally; Leads; Lives in the Wilderness; Looks For Trouble; Masters Defense; Masters Spells;
|
||||
Masters the Swarm; Masters Weaponry; Moves Like a Cat; Murders; Needs No Weapon; Never Says Die; Performs Feats of
|
||||
Strength; Rages; Rides the Lightning; Sees Beyond; Sailed Beneath the Jolly Roger; Scavenges; Sees Beyond; Separates
|
||||
Mind From Body; Shepherds the Community; Shepherds Spirits; Slays Monsters; Speaks For the Land; Stands Like a
|
||||
Bastion; Throws With Deadly Accuracy; Thunders; Travels Through Time; Was Foretold; Wears A Sheen of Ice; Wields Two
|
||||
Weapons At Once; Works Miracles; Works the Back Alleys
|
||||
* *Godforsaken:* Takes Animal Shape; Uses Wild Magic; Walks the Wild Woods; Wields an Enchanted Weapon
|
||||
|
||||
### Abilities
|
||||
|
||||
Types and foci give access to abilities, depending on the character's tier (level, basically). There's no point in
|
||||
listing them all, if your choices grant access to the ability, it's in.

didn't really know what to do with your non-racial descriptor. Also note that I came up with

[fungoid](../homebrew#fungoid) on my own, so it may need tweaking.]
