Introduction
With Amtgard's version 8 rulebook being released, it was time to overhaul these rules. Astral
Adventures has been played throughout the Principality of Northreach (Alaska) for nearly ten years!
Over the years, these rules have gone through several changes as we have learned and grown with them.
Overall, these rules are about fun, creating memorable moments for the participants, and generating
excitement for the future.
While these rules were created for the parks of Alaska, they have found there way into the hands of
several other Amtgard Chapters, and I hope that they inspire the members of those parks to embrace the
wonder and excitement that come from a really good quest!
Good Luck and Enjoy!
Margrave Sir Gorin

Principality of Northreach,
Kingdom of Dragonspine
Please note:
Many concepts within this book were influenced by the work of Lord-Abbot Katzushima, whose
original works inspired me to create these rules and quests!
This book is not a rulebook by itself, but a Quest Supplement for the fine rulebook created by the
Amtgard 8 publishing group. These rules are for specialized campaigns and events, and should not be
used for ordinary battlegames.

A Rift in the World

The four of them stood before what looked like a shimmering rip in the air nearly twenty feet high. It
shimmered black and red against the backdrop of the murky forest. It might have been beautiful were it
not surrounded by the blood and corpses of the fallen. Together they began the ritual that would close
the portal and prevent the creatures on the other side from invading their homeland. Obtaining the
words they now spoke had cost them dearly and they only hoped it was worth it. Batterd, bloody, and
exhausted, stood what remained of the guardsmen that had accompanied them on this quest. As their
voices echoed the ancient text on the page, a sense of urgency could be felt in the air, as if the forest
itself were bracing against the backlash of their actions. Suddenly, a pack of demons burst from the
trees and flung themselves wildly into the tattered line of guards. Blades and claws flashed in equal
measure, mingling with screams of pain and fury. The four standing over the ancient scroll could not
afford to look away from their task, and they continued to read the words aloud.
Without warning, a monstrous claw erupted from within the rift, crushing the nearest of the four.
Flinging the bloody remains into the forest, it groped about blindly, looking for the others.
A deafening silence fell over the entire forest as the last line of the ritual was spoken. Everything and
everyone seemed frozen in time as the very air pulsed with energy.
A chorus of screams emerged from the rift as it slowly began to close. There was a cry of victory and
relief as the rift disappeared, and the last of the demons fell to heroic blades.

Section 1 Starting Out

Character Creation
New players wishing to participate in the Astral
Adventures Questing system must complete a few
steps before entering play.
This will allow the
Adventuring officials to track the player, as well as his
equipment, money, and abilities.
The Character Sheet

The first step to filling out your character sheet is to put
name on the top. Next, you need to come up with a
for your character. Most of you will already have a
name prepared.
your
name
Class Registration
Next, choose a character class from the following
list:
Archer
Assassin
Barbarian
Bushi (New)
Gypsy (New) Healer
Monk
Scout
Anti - Paladin*
Bard
Druid
Inquisitor (New)
Swashbuckler (New) Warrior Wizard
Paladin*
* Knight only
Merchant (New, Nonfighting)

Sage (New, Nonfighting)
Smith (New, Nonfighting)
The classes designated as a (New) are detailed in the back of this book under Section 3 New
Classes.
Players are allowed to change their class, but it will require them to give up Quest Tokens or
Gold to Retrain their characters. Quest Tokens are explained in Section 2.
Page 3
Nobility
Titles of Nobility are not featured too heavily in this system, however, all members with
a title of Lord or greater will be noted as a Land-owner under the King and shall gain
some small income as a result.
If you have a title of nobility, note it on your character sheet. Only the highest ranking
title applies. Officer Titles do not count.
When a noble registers, rather than starting with 50 gold like other players, (s)he gains
the amount listed below. In addition, each time the noble signs in, a certain number of
gold coins are automatically awarded based on their status. This sum is only gained if the
noble actually shows up and participates.

Feudal Obligation
This income doesnt come without a price, however. The Monarch may, at any time, call upon any
noble within his land to offer up service to the Crown. This service is usually in the form of military
man-power. If the Monarch so calls upon a noble, the noble must offer up a number of persons to fight
for the Monarch equal to the level of the nobles obligation rating (even if the noble has to fill that role
himself).
For Example: A Duke is required to offer the service of 4 people.
If, a noble is unable to meet his Feudal Obligation, he must give the monarch twice the amount of
weekly gold he receives from his title.
It is to be noted, however, that this game is heavily oriented toward Role Playing. To further the
atmosphere of this game, certain behaviors will be encouraged while playing this game.
See
APPENDIX I for more information on Role Playing with Nobles.
Role-playing the caste system goes a long way to help create the atmosphere for this game. Do not be
surprised if the players, NPCs, and the environment are geared towards maintaining this system.
Page 4

Class Masters (Paragons) and Guildmasters
While several of our past events have favored the nobles heavily, this system is focused around classbased adventure and role play. In light of that, we wish to highlight those who have played their class
with such expertise as to be recognized as true Masters of their class, as well as those who have
volunteered their time and energy to stand up and lead their class as its Guild master. If you have
achieved masterhood in your registered class, or are the guild master of your registered class, note it on
your character sheet under Titles.
Class Masters (Paragons) gain the ability listed below for their class.
Class Master (Paragon) Abilities
When playing the appropriate class, Class Masters (Paragons) may utilize the abilities listed below:
Archer
Anti-Paladin
Assassin
Barbarian
Bard
Druid
Healer
- Choose one additional arrow: Destruction, Poison, Pinning

- Undead Minion becomes Charge x 10
- Coup de Grace becomes Charge x 7
- Fight After Death 1/Refresh
- 1 extra point of magic at the Bards highest level
- 1 extra point of magic at the Druids highest level
- Equipment: Staff (6ft max, non-heavy padding, 1st level, 3 points)
Monk
Paladin
Scout
Warrior
Wizard
- Sanctuary becomes Charge x 3

- Resurrect becomes Charge x 5
- Dispel Magic 1/Refresh
- Insult becomes Charge x 3
- Equipment: Staff (6ft max, non-heavy padding, 1st level, 3 points)
Guildmasters
Note: New classes do not have Guild masters available to them. They are too rare and too disorganized.
In this campaign system, Guildmasters gain additional abilities that allow them to improve the abilities of those in
their guild. As such, they gain access to the Guildmaster: [Class] ability. See the new abilities section for
details on this ability.

Equipping your character

Starting Gold
All players start with 50 coins (except nobles as noted above). These coins can be used for any purpose
whatsoever. Coins can be represented in a wide variety of ways based on the desires of the Quest
Adminstrator.
Spellcasters
Spellcasters begin the game with a single 1st level spell point. In order to gain more spellpoints, the
spellcaster must pay to have their power increased. This might by purchasing a blessed holy symbol, an
ancient spellbook, a druidic fetish, or mystical tattoos. The exact nature of this power is up to the
player, however, each spell point beyond the 1st must be paid for by purchasing Grimoires. (exception:
Spell points granted from sources such as Look the Part, Magic Items, etc are free).
The Bank
Once the player has registered, he will henceforth have a Character Sheet, an inventory and a bank. The
bank is just a fancy word for all the coins and equipment that the player chooses not to bring with
him/her that quest day.
The Inventory
The inventory contains all the equipment and wealth that a player chooses to bring to the quest event.
This can take many physical shapes (Pouches, bags, etc) but basically holds all of the tokens that
represent your characters equipment as well as any coins / gems, etc the player has. All equipment in
the inventory must be physically represented. For example, if Loknarl the barbarian has an inventory
containing tokens for a Javellin, a Small Shield, 2 Short Swords and 2pt armor, then Locknarl must be
carrying a Javelin, Small Shield, 2 short swords and wearing 2pt armor.
Exception: Some small items such as jewelry, potions, scrolls, etc may not need to be physically
represented. Any such item will have NONREP listed on the card/token.
There may be situations in which a player will have a token without having an item. At the Reeves
discretion this will be allowed.
The Town
The home of every adventure, this bustling community is where the Adventurers will start and stop their
days activities. This is where the Registrar and Merchant dwell, and where the Monarch can often be
found overseeing his land.
The Registrar
The Registrar is the official who will maintain all of the records of the adventuring system (detailed
below). He will sign players in and assign equipment at the beginning of the session, as well as
collecting all character information at the end of the session. In addition, the Registrar will act as the
town banker, allowing players to deposit and withdraw money and equipment from the bank. In larger
questing groups, the Registrar may need to utilize assistants in order to facilitate these tasks.
Page 6

Player / Character Tracking
Each player will be assigned a unique Player Identification Number. When a player creates a character,
this number will be assigned to the character sheet and any special equipment the player possesses will
be stored under that number. When a player signs in at the start of the day, the Registrar will verify any
titles, expert abilities, and unique equipment the player has.
Equipment Tracking
There will be a limited amount of any particular piece of equipment. Once these are gone, its up to the
players to either 1) Trade with each other or 2) Create their own. Unique equipment (usually magic
items) will be tracked via the online database.
The Tavern
The tavern is a place in town designated by the quest administrator to act as a spawn point for players
returning from the graveyard.
The Marketplace
The center of a thriving economy, this is where most adventurers will spend their down-time (and their
treasure).
The marketplace will be run by the Merchant. The Merchant will oversee all transactions with the
marketplace (players are still free to make transactions with each other). All manner of things may be
purchased at the marketplace, some examples are listed below.
Standard Equipment
All normal equipment (swords, shields, armor, etc) will fall under this category. The Marketplace only
has a limited number of these items, and once they are gone, they are gone. These items will be
represented by an item token, but must also be physically represented.
Magical Components
Arguably the most powerful force on the battlefield, magic is indeed a deadly tool. However, it requires
a great deal of dedication and study. Spell casters begin the game one first-level spell point. If the
player wishes to add more spells points to his character, he must purchase a Grimoire with coins. The
more spell points a Grimoire will hold, the more expensive it will be. These items are normally
considered NONREP and will not need to be physically represented.
Each quest day, a spellcaster will create a spell list containing a maximum number of spell-points equal
to the size of their grimoire. A player may not utilize more than 1 grimoire for this purpose. If their
grimoire is subsequently stolen, destroyed, or otherwise lost, it does not affect that spell list (only future
spell lists).
Some Grimoires are exceedingly powerful and will allow a spellcaster to access more spell points than
they would normally be allowed. In these cases, 5 spell points MUST be allotted to each spell level that
the player has access to. Any remaining points are then assigned to the highest level. For example:
Wally the Wizard is 4th level and has a 25pt Grimoire. Since he gets his 1st point for free and another
Page 7

from Look the Part, he has 27 points to spend on magic. After assigning 5pts each to his 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and
4th levels, he has 7 points remaining. These are all assigned to 4th level (his highest) leaving him with
5pts at 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, and 12pts at 4th.
Magical Equipment
Some classes have the ability to place potent, permanent magics upon everyday items. These items are
unique and will be logged with the Registrar. It will receive a unique serial number and a token to
represent it.
Magic Items come in three types, Trinkets (Potions/Scrolls), Talismans, and Artifacts.
Some magic items such as (Potions, scrolls, etc) are destroyed when they are used. These consumable
magic items are the more common types of magic items found throughout the land. Powerful,
permanent magic items are considerably more rare and valuable.
While any player may possess a permanent magic item, in order to use one, it must be bound to its
holder with Quest Tokens. See Section 2 Quest Tokens for more information. See the v8 Rules of
Play for more information on these items.
In addition to Standard equipment and Magical Supplies, a small number of magical items can
sometimes be found at the marketplace.
Selling Items
Players may sell their outdated or surplus equipment back to the Merchant for a price equal to 25% of a
new object of the same type. (I.e., if a Long sword costs 20 gold, then a Long sword may be sold to the
Merchant for 5 gold). Alternatively, players may buy and sell items amongst themselves or they may
use the auction board.
The Auction Board
The auction board is a no-hassle way for players to sell off their excess gear. This process is
ideally handled through an online message board or similar mechanism. The selling player
simply posts his auction to the appropriate section and sets an expiration date / time. Once that
time expires, players can physically trade the equipment, or, if its through another park, the
players can turn the gold / equipment in to their local registrars for transfer. If an online solution
is unavailable, a physical board can be used. The selling player simply fills out an auction form
and posts it to the board. Players will come up and enter bids on it throughout the day. At the
end of the day, the owner finds the highest bidder and they can complete the transaction.
Broken Equipment
Thanks to the wonderful world of magic, equipment maintenance has almost become a thing of the past.
However, some forces will destroy your equipment beyond the ability of any spell caster to repair. The
Reeve will tell a player if his equipment is destroyed by a game effect (Siege Weapons, Sphere of
Annihilation, Acid Pits, Rust Monsters, etc). If your equipment is destroyed, you must turn the
equipment token over to the Reeve.

SECTION 2 - Adventuring
What is an adventure?
An adventure is a specialized battle game in which a small group of players attempts to overcome
several obstacles in order to achieve a specific objective. While this might seem a little vague, thats
because no two adventures will be alike. Players will form many different groups, face a variety of
enemies, as well as traps, and natural obstacles in order to achieve some end, whether it be to save
someone, hunt for treasure, defend a village or escort a treasure through enemy territory.
Death and Dying

Dying
Death has to be handled a little differently in this system to accommodate the continuity of an adventure.
In this system, all players will be assigned a number of lives by the quest administrator at the beginning
of the day (usually 3).
While participating in an Adventure, if a player dies (s)he may remain where slain in the hopes of being
returned to life, or, (s)he can return to The Town after a 30 count. This count must be made loudly and
clearly enough to be heard 50 feet away. Players will be penalized severely by the reeve for counting
quietly or quickly in order to avoid negative effects (looting, etc).
Once this count is complete, the player is free to leave the battlefield and head back to town. (See
Nirvana below)
For role playing purposes, the shock of dying will not allow a player to remember the five minutes
immediately preceding his death, even after being returned to life.
The Graveyard
Nirvana is located in a section of The Town called the Graveyard. Once in town, a dead player must
spend *at least* 120 seconds (2 minutes) in the Graveyard before rejoining the adventure.
While in Graveyard, players may not interact with other players unless otherwise noted. They may
leave Nirvana when their count has elapsed. Players in the Graveyard may be brought back to life
through use of magic and abilities such as Resurrect, Greater Resurrect, Undead Minion, etc.
Once their count is up, a player may come to life at the Tavern, or any other available respawn point.
Page 10

Shattered Players
Shattered players (players who have run out of lives) have 3 options:
1) They can remain dead and stay in the Town where they can interact with other players, the
merchants, etc. (And possibly be brought back to life)
2) They can pay a sum of gold equal to their class level x 5 to gain one additional life.
3) They can check with the quest organizer to see if there is a need for additional monsters for
secondary quests, etc.
Looting
If we take these back and sell them, well be rich!
In the tradition of all good RPGs, looting monsters will be an exciting part of any Adventure. This is
accomplished by crouching near the target and saying Looting x 10. If the player is interrupted while
counting, the count must begin again from the start. When looting a monster, the monster will
surrender one appropriate loot item (if it has any). This equipment will be represented by a token, each
having a unique control number. These tokens will be attached to a Loot Marker. Loot markers are
easily recognizable objects roughly 18 long and usually made of foam. These markers lend some
measure of reality to the carrying of loot. Typically, the items attached to the Loot Markers may not be
utilized until brought back to town, where they can be sold or stored in the bank.
Unless otherwise noted, loot markers are not game items and do not follow the rules of game items.
When looting from another player, you may look at the players inventory. You may then decide to take
1 Item, or a number of coins equal to the current Loot Factor x the players level, but not both. The
loot factor is set by the Quest Administrator and is usually a number between 1 and 10. The default loot
factor is 5. Once a player has been looted, he may not be looted again until once again being killed.
PVP
While the killing of other Player-characters is allowed, it is to be noted that it is also against the laws of
the Crown. Looting from another player is considered theft. Both of these crimes are punishable by
death (see the new ability: EXECUTE). However, players may wish to tread this path regardless of the
laws of man.
A note on PVP: While it is fun to add the element of danger and excitement that PVP can bring, it is
important to remind players that it is not fun to be constantly killed by other players. Quests such as
those created through Astral Adventures exist only through a cooperative environment. Excessive
player killing can dissolve this environment quickly. Bottom line: Dont be a jerk.
Page 11
Camping
Some adventures are going to be particularly long and to help off-set the rigors of such arduous
journeys, players will be allowed to set up Camp. A Camp is an area set up by the players as a resting
point. A camp is established by finding a suitable area and stating Camping x 100 following by
tearing the CAMP equipment card in half (or turning it in to a reeve). A maximum of 5 players may
gain the benefits of a single camp, though a single player may only use the camp once. A camp token is
required to set up a camp. A camp token is a circular, or disk shaped object at least 12 in diameter. It
should clearly be labeled with the word CAMP or made to look like a campfire. Once the incantation
is complete, the camp token is used to mark the center of the camp and affected players must stay within
10 feet of the marker. The camp grants the following benefits:
1) Any player may refresh all of their spells and abilities by remaining in the camp for a 300 count
(5 min).
a. This includes per life abilities / spells.
2) If any member of the party has access to the Mend spell/ability, all damaged equipment may be
repaired by remaining in the camp for a 300 count. (The party member need only have access to
Mend, the spell / ability is not actually used / cast).
3) The marker at the center of the camp acts as a Camp Fire (see Terrain: Darkness for more info)
Camp tokens are removed / destroyed 10 minutes after they are activated.
Terrain
In an Adventure, monsters and villains are not the only obstacles to overcome.
environment itself poses a variety of challenges for the players.
Sometimes the
Below are the different types of terrain utilized by this system, how they are represented as well as their
effects in the game.
Water
There are various types of water that can be encountered during an adventure.
Water is generally represented by blue tarps/fabric/surveyor tape and has the following effects:
All players must WALK while in water.

All players are considered FRAGILE while in water
In addition to the basic effects of water, there are several types of water that have additional effects:
Page 12
Deep Water
Deep water represents deep pools of motionless or slow moving water and is marked to stand out from
normal water.
Players wearing 1 or 2pts of armor must kneel while in this type of terrain and must keep 1 hand
is free. Failure to do so results in death.
Players wearing 3 or more points of armor, OR who are affected by stone skin, ironskin, or gift
of earth are instantly killed as soon as they set foot in the water. They may not be resurrected as
their corpses sink to the bottom (exception: Summon Dead).
Players traveling through Deep Water always count as moving their feet, even if they are
standing still.
Moving Water
Moving water is usually represented by an arrow to show the direction of the waters movement.
When moving through this water, the player must take 1 step in the direction of the arrow for
each step that they take in any other direction.
The following spells / states have modified effects on targets when in water.
Frozen State: Target dies if in deep water.
Stopped State: Target dies in a 10 count if in deep water, Target must take 1 step per second
downstream in moving water.
Stunned State: Target dies in a 10 count if in deep water or moving water. Target must take 1
step per second downstream in moving water.
Insubstantial State: Target ignores all effects of water
Song of Freedom / Bear Strength: Target is treated as if not wearing armor. Additionally, target
may run while in any water and does not have to move downstream in while in moving water.
Gift of Air / Water: Target is unaffected by water.
The following enchantments are removed by Water: Gift of Fire, Flame Blade (Deep water
only).
Darkness (Designated by reeve)
Sometimes, an Adventure will take characters into areas of complete darkness. Darkness is alleviated
by a Light Source. A light source will negate the effects of
darkness within Line of Sight.
While under the effects of darkness terrain, the following
rules are observed:
Players must have 1 foot on the ground at all times
(walk only). Failure to do so results in an automatic
leg wound (players choice).
All projectiles and arrows fail.
All spell balls fail once thrown.
Page 13
Verbal magic may not be used at a range greater than Touch.
The following items are examples of Light Sources:

Torch (Destroyed when dropped or struck. May be used to light fires at a reeves discretion)
Lantern (If struck, is destroyed and delivers a single wound to the torso of the person holding it.
This wound does not interact with worn armor. May be set down.)
Sunstick (Destroyed if struck, only functions while held.)
Light Spell (Enchanted item becomes a light source for five minutes. This enchantment is
removed if the item is destroyed).
Any Spellball / Enchantment of the flame school or sorcery schools.
Campfire
Purified Ground (White)
Faith in the Radiance of the White Light is often focused and used to purify an area of land for some
special purpose. Churches, Shrines, Temples, etc are often a source of power for those who know how
to use it.
While within the borders of Purified Ground the following effects are observed:
Verbal Magic and Abilities from the Spirit school become CHARGE x 1. This does not
apply to Magic Items.
The Cursed state is ignored.
Undead who enter the area are immediately affected as per the Shove spell and must move away
from the area.
Some evil monsters may be unable to enter the area (Reeves discretion).
Defiled Ground (Black)

Places of eternal darkness, these areas have been dedicated to the Shadow and are havens for beings of
negative energy.
While within the borders of Unholy Ground, the following effects are observed:
Verbal magic and abilities from the Death School become CHARGE x 1. This does
not apply to Magic Items
Players bearing the Undead Minion enchantment are no longer FRAGILE
Players bearing the Greater Undead Minion enchantment gain 1 point of magic armor.
Some good monsters may be unable to enter the area (Reeves discretion).
Indoors / Underground (Grey)
Often times, an adventure will take a player into a structure, cavern, or some other area that shelters one
from the outside world.
While Indoors or Underground, the following effects are observed:
At the reeves discretion, certain spells or abilities may not function (such as Call Lightning)
Unless a Reeve says otherwise, Darkness will be in effect.
Page 14
Environmental Features
Locks
When someone wants to keep something safe and secure, they usually employ a lock. While there are
all manner of locks in the world, they are going to fall under two categories: Normal Locks and Magical
Locks.
Locks are represented in the game by a pink ribbon tied around the object that is locked. A lock pick
and a reeve are required to open these items. See New Skills: B&E for more information on opening
locks.
Normal Locks
This covers all manner of locks that an adventurer might encounter. These locks have a rating from 1 to
6.
Magical Locks
These locks are made of exotic materials and some may actually employ powerful magics to make them
more difficult to open. These locks have a rating of 7-12.
Doors
While traveling through cities and their buildings, adventurers are bound the run into doors. These
doors may be locked or unlocked, wooden or metal. Doors will be represented by a waist-level barrier
marked with a pink ribbon. This pink ribbon will have UNLOCKED
written upon it. If it does not, then it is locked and a Reeve must be present in order to unlock it or break
it down (as noted below).
Common Doors
These doors, denoted with a brown ribbon in addition to the pink, are made of wood or some other
common material. While these doors are generally sturdy, they can be broken down by a determined
individual. Armor Breaking / Destroying melee weapons may be used to destroy the door. Any other
spell or game effect that destroys an object can be used to destroy a Common Door.
Solid Doors
Solid doors are made of very strong materials such as iron or solid stone and are denoted with a
combination of grey and pink ribbons. These doors cannot be broken down by normal means. A siege
weapon or powerful magics may be capable of breaking down these doors, at the Reeves Discretion
Page 15
Traps
Often times, players or monsters will place traps to protect an area from intruders. These types of
devices can range from annoying to terrifyingly lethal. Below are some examples of common traps.
Boulders (Strike-legal boulders or logs)
Boulder traps involve large objects (usually rocks) being dropped from higher elevations. Sometimes,
the objects are tied to trees and swung at their targets. These weapons count as a siege weapon and will
kill on contact.
Pits
A primitive trap, the pit is employed by everyone from savage races to highly intelligent spell casters.
Pit Traps come in a variety of types, their effects listed below. Pits are initially hidden. A reeve will
notify a player if he falls into a pit. Once the pit is discovered, a marker will be placed to show its
location. Players affected by the INSUBSTANTIAL state are immune to Pits.
At the Reeves discretion, certain enchantments, spells, abilities, or effects may prevent or mitigate
damage from a pit.
Shallow pit (Brown Tarp)
Shallow pits are often hastily dug in an attempt to slow an opponent down. Though not very deep, a
victim caught unaware can be injured badly by the fall. Anyone falling into this trap will take a wound
to the leg (victims choice). Those protected by magic armor will take a single hit (to the leg if
applicable).
Deep Pit (Brown Tarp with Deep)
Deep pits are often deeper than 10ft, and are often lined with spikes. Anyone who falls prey to this trap
receives a wound to each hit location that is not stopped by armor. Anyone who survives the fall is
trapped unless they have some means of escaping (Teleport, Rope, etc). A reeve will make the final call
on the viability of any escape plan.
Fire pit (Orange Tarp or Tarp with Fire)
These shallow pits are filled with red-hot embers or, occasionally, magical fire. Anyone falling into
these pits suffers a hit to each leg that is not stopped by armor.
Tangle trap (A brown tarp with Tangle)
These traps come in a wide array of types, but all have the same purpose: to slow up an enemy.
Whether it is falling nets, caltrops, strangling vines, quicksand, etc the effect is the same. Anyone who
steps into one of these traps takes becomes STOPPED. This effect is not stopped by any kind of
armor and the player can only be freed as directed by the Reeve.
Bottomless pit (A Black Tarp or Tarp with Bottomless)
These pits are so deep, that it may seem as though they have no bottom (in the cases of some wizards
traps they may actually have no bottom). A player that falls into this trap falls and keeps falling. The
player is dead unless he has some other Reeve-approved method of escape. In addition, the player may
not be brought back to life without the assistance of SUMMON DEAD.
Page 16
Quest Tokens
Throughout the course of an adventure, Reeves will be awarding Quest Tokens. These tokens will be
awarded for participating in a quest, surviving a quest, great character portrayal as well as for helping
out and playing monsters and NPCs.
Quest tokens are used to buy special things for you character. Things you cant get with gold alone.
The most prevalent of these are Expert Abilities. These skills are class-specific and allow a character to
advance beyond the scope of the basic Rules of Play. Other things that can be purchased with Quest
Tokens include things such as:
The creation of magic items Creating a magic item may require that the creator spend a number
of quest tokens. See the Non-fighting classes section for details on creating Magic items.
Binding of magic items Before a player can use a magic item, he must bind it to himself. This
costs 1 quest token for a Talisman and 3 quest tokens for an Artifact. Special, powerful magic items
may require more quest tokens to bind, at the Administrators discretion.
Regional Equipment When playing a joint campaign with multiple parks, players may be able to
gain access to special, regional equipment. This equipment may only be purchased with Quest
tokens earned AT THAT PARK. See the Multi-Park Campaign supplement for more information.
Changing your Registered Class A player can change their registered class by paying 5 quest
tokens. Doing this removes access to any Expert Abilities or Guildmaster abilities associated with
the previous class and allows access to any expert abilities or guildmaster abilities associated with
the new class (if applicable). See a quest administrator if you wish to change classes. **Note: The
cost for changing classes may be modified by the quest administrator.
Players will generally earn 1-3 Quest tokens per quest day and they will generally be given out at the
end of an adventure. Quest tokens cannot be traded or Looted.
Adventure Zones
Adventures can often be quite large, requiring that it be broken into different Zones. Each of these
zones will be overseen by a different reeve who will control all of the monsters and encounters within
his area. See the How to Run Adventures and Campaigns supplement for more information on
Adventure Zones.

Ancestral Weapon
The Bushis Ancestral weapon is a treasured heirloom and a superb example of the weaponmakers art.
Any weapon listed above may be designated as the Ancestral Weapon. Once this weapon is designated, it cannot
be changed unless a new Ancestral weapon is made. A new Ancestral weapon costs an amount equal to the
Bushis level x 30 gold. A Bushi may only ever own 1 Ancestral Weapon at a time.
If the Bushi ever loses his Ancestral weapon (looting, permanent destruction, etc), he may do one of two things:
1) Continue without it As a peasant until the Ancestral Weapon is returned or remade.
2) Remake the weapon Make a new one as detailed above.
All of the above abilities affect only the Ancestral Weapon. They do not impart any other special abilities on the
bearer of the weapon. For example: Enlightened Soul makes only the weapon immune to the effects of verbal
magic, however, the owner can still be affected. In anyone elses hands, the Ancestral Weapon will function as a
normal weapon of its type.
Additionally, the Bushi may use an Ancestral Weapon as a material component in the creation of a Magic Item
(essentially adding additional magical properties to the weapon).

SECTION 4: Races
At some point during character creation, players will want to portray a non-human character. Rather
than create an overly complex method of creating bonuses and drawbacks for a variety of races, the
folks currently overhauling the Dor Un Avathar have developed an elegant system for just this thing. In
order to gain racial abilities, a player must costume themselves as that race well enough to qualify for a
"Look the Part" bonus. If they do, they may swap out their class' normal Look the Part bonus for the
racial one. In addition, this will also open up the option for the player to purchase Racial Expert
Abilities. Please note that the costume requirements are the same for these Expert Abilities as well.
Below is the relevant section from the Dor Un Avathar X, please visit them and support their efforts
here:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/DorUnAvatharX/
Monster Race Alternative Look the Part

A player may portray a standard class with a monster Race. The player would wear the garb and/or
makeup for that race of sufficient quality to qualify for Look the Part. The Player would then gain access
to an alternative Look the Part bonus, determined by their Race, that the player could use instead of the
Look the Part bonus for their class. Players must still wear the required garb of their class.

mundane.

storylines and many other aspects of the game.

Merchant Abilities Defined
Non-Combatant A class with this trait must refrain from combat. Others are forbidden from
engaging with a non-combatant in combat or otherwise using any abilities or magic upon them.
There are only two exceptions to this:
1) Resurrect/Greater Resurrect
2) Killing a Non-Combatant. Any player may kill a non-combatant so long as he has no active
defenders or bodyguards within 20 feet of him. This is done by stating [Non-fighting class]
Youre dead. The attacking player must have a weapon and be within 10ft of the noncombatant to do this. Active Defender / Bodyguard refers to any player that is capable of
combat (ie, not frozen, stunned, insubstantial, etc). The reeve has the final say on whether or not
a player is considered Active.
Negotiation This skill allows the merchant to haggle better than other folk. The number in
parentheses is the percentage discount that the merchant receives. The final price is rounded to the
nearest coin.
Store Size As the merchant becomes more skilled and more successful, he will be able to hold a larger
store in the marketplace. Each level of this ability allows the merchant to hold a larger inventory. The
number in parentheses is the number of items that may be kept in the Store. Items in the Store may
not be looted unless the Merchant is in town. For this reason, these items must be identifiably separated
from the players regular inventory (Such as in a separate bag/envelope, etc)
Merchant Network As a merchant gains experience, he will begin to collect contacts who regularly
sell to him. This network of suppliers allows the merchant to get his hands on rare and valuable items
for his shop. Each level of this ability will earn the merchant 1 item that he has the option to purchase
and place in his store. These items will be presented by the Administrator. The prices presented are
non-negotiable and the merchant is not required to buy any of the items.
