1 – The Locket of Winter

By EM Malachi Ages ago… The winds screamed as they raced past the tall mountain peak. Even protected from the worst of it by magic, the climber felt the numb of deep winter. Still, Drogeni continued her climb. At the top, the mage dropped her pack and removed what she needed for the ritual. Drogeni opened a delicate silver locket and placed it on the snow. It was the work of a decade’s research and a year’s enchantment. Standing tall against the howling winds, Drogeni began to sing. The anthem was filled with magic, inviting the winter itself to dance.

11 – The Dark Monk

By EM Malachi The Dark Monk I was lost in the forest. My journey had been one disaster after another. I had lost most of my supplies fording an icy river. The string of my bow snapped trying to bring down the elk that would have been dinner. With the replacement strings at the bottom of the river, I could hunt nothing on the trek to the logging camp. If I was even going in the right direction… It was nightfall at the end of the third hungry day when I saw the campfire. I was desperate, so I approached […]

Melee Damage Increase

Damage Increase falls into two types, both types have an overall cap of 300%, however they are calculated differently: First, damage bonus, this comes from your stats, your skills and any items with the magic item property ‘damage increase’ and is additional to the base damage of the weapon wielded. The chivalry spell ‘divine fury’ also falls into this group. Second, damage modifier, this comes from slayer properties, special moves, special abilities and cast spells and is a multiplier. Damage Bonus Tactics Damage Bonus% = Tactics ÷ 1.6 (Add 6.25% if Tactics >= 100) Anatomy Damage Bonus% = (Anatomy ÷ […]
