Order of the Magus

[[sage]]

Order of the Magus

For centuries the relations between Magic users (Magus) and normal people have been strained. Normal people often fear and mistrust those with supernatural powers and have persecuted magus in the past. The Magus however are not entirely innocent. Many of them believe they were born to rule over normal people and there have been nations conquered in the past by Rogue Magus. The Order of the Magus exists to protect the interests of Magus around the world, as well as keeping a check against would be conquerers.

This is basically a mission based battleclub.

How much AP an ability needs to be improved to level 2 and up depends on the ability. Abilities that have a specialized effect will level up faster than general abilities.

Some quick notes on Combat
1. Movement and Range

You get one action and one move per round. Movement allows you to change the distance between you and your opponent.

There are 5 range distances.

Range: Close Range < Melee < Mid Range < Far Range < Superior Far Range.
Close Range is grappling, unarmed or fighting with small weapons like knives or daggers.
Melee Range is any decent sized melee weapon.
Mid Range is any thrown weapon or weapon with superior reach, such as spears.
Long Range is any distance weapon such as a bow or projectile spells.
Superior Long Range is reserved for ranged attacks that specialize in distance, such as flight arrows.

You can run to increase your Speed x4. However, you cannot attack without a special ability, and your defense is halved if you are hit.
You can double your Speed and make an attack at half accuracy.
You can move normal Speed and still make an attack at no penalty.

Changing Range Distances: All fights as part of the training and dueling leagues related to the Order start at mid range. Mission fights can start at any range.

It takes a Speed Advantage of 50 points to gain a lead on your enemy (running away or catching up on range. Meaning if you normally have a Speed Advantage of 25, it takes 2 rounds to gain a lead or catch up to an opponent moving away.

2. Defense

When you're attacked, you can choose to defend. This doubles your defense (although if you have equipment that gives a defense penalty the penalty is doubled) and gives you a chance to counter (chance depends on your Speed and if your weapon is good at countering). If you have any defensive abilities, you can opt to use those to counter other skills or use magic to try and counter your enemy's actions.

3. Crits have a base chance of 5%. The higher your accuracy, the better chance of a crit occuring.

4. Stunts: You can try various tricks such as disarming, tripping or other dirty or skilled fighting as well. Just declare what you're trying to do, and if you hit and deal any damage, you succeed. Abilities related to a stunt provide a better chance of success and make it harder to recover from it.

Water Prison - 30AP - Creates a sphere of water around someone. They will be trapped, unable to move and take some damage every turn until freed. The water prison can take a certain amount of damage before it is destroyed (any attacks they use or would be hit by will cause damage).

Anyone trapped will be covered with water and slowed somewhat even after escaping.
