|{{nowrap|Transmutation 1}}

{{Ability|Orison|
By 5 seconds of {{gloss|appropriate roleplay}}, costs 0 {{gloss|stamina}}. Causes one of the following. Extinguish, Ignite, Create Water, Blow Air, Create Light, Ease Pain, chose one when you first take this skill. They do what they say, work at touch range and have no mechanical effect, working only briefly. You may research more of these in-character.}}
|-
|{{nowrap|Transmutation 2}}
|
{{Ritual|Transference|
Remove {{gloss|effects}} from other people by placing them onto yourself or a willing target. The {{gloss|effect}} is moved and has its level and duration reduced by half. Moving an {{gloss|effect}} costs four times as much {{gloss|stamina}} as the effect’s level. {{gloss|Participants}} may spend extra {{gloss|stamina}} to reach this amount.}}

{{Ability|Alchemy|
By 10 seconds of {{gloss|appropriate roleplay}} and 2 {{gloss|stamina}}. You may turn about a glassful of water into one of the following: Acid, Alkali, Pure Alcohol, Lubricant, Glue, Solvent, Dye, Bleach, Cooling Solution, Heat Solution, Preservative. These last 30 min or until used. Other liquids at {{gloss|ref}} discretion, typically after {{gloss|PC}} research.}}
|-
|{{nowrap|Transmutation 3}}
|
{{Ritual|Destruction|
The {{gloss|leader}} is the target of this {{gloss|ritual}}. This {{gloss|ritual}} takes 10 seconds to begin, after which {{gloss|participants}} may leave. The {{gloss|leader}} of the {{gloss|ritual}} then gains one use of {{gloss|instantaneous}} {{call|MAGIC}} {{call|TRIPLE}} {{call|KNOCKBACK}} after every 10 seconds of continuous, stationary roleplay. Only the {{gloss|leader}} is required to continue the Ritual. You may use these calls at any time in the current {{gloss|encounter}}, and save them up. If the {{gloss|leader}} move from the spot, the {{gloss|ritual}} ends. When the Ritual ends, the {{gloss|leader}} loses the calls. The maximum number of calls is equal to the number of {{gloss|participants}} +1. This is the {{gloss|ritual}} of blowing up gates and boss monsters. This {{gloss|ritual}} must be performed in a loud, obvious manner.}}
|-
|{{nowrap|Transmutation 4}}
|
{{Ritual|Subvert the Ideal{{ref}}|
Subvert {{gloss|effects}} and {{call|COMPEL}}s, altering the effect that they have. The casters will not know if they have succeeded against a {{call|COMPEL}}.}}
|-
|{{nowrap|Transmutation 5 {{locked}}}}
|
{{Ritual|Cleanse the Earth{{ref}}|
“Cleanse the Earth” can solve seemingly limitless problems via enough brute arcane force. Examples include removing an {{gloss|effect}} or {{gloss|wound}} entirely, blasting holes in a fortification, or casting out possession by a Stranger. However, it invariably has side effects in other areas. An exorcism subject may find their personality scrambled for a while. Sappers might take some {{gloss|wounds}} from backlash. The total {{gloss|stamina}} spent by the {{gloss|participants}} must be at least 10. {{gloss|Participants}} may spend extra {{gloss|stamina}} to reach this minimum. This {{gloss|ritual}} must be performed in a loud, obvious manner.}}

MorkaisChosen: /* Sample Character Builds */

This is a purely mechanical description of the requirements for building a character. For a more in depth guide on how to think about a character concept and build it into a character see [[How_to_Create_a_Character|How to Build a Character]].

Please email any character builds to larp-refs@srcf.net, and include a brief description of the character's Paradigm and history. Please don't send as attachments, plain text in the email is best. Putting them in wiki format is perfect, and we have a template for this.

It is not possible for your character to start with equipment other than that granted by your Skills (Trade 3 and Talismancy 3 for example). The Refs may offer the opportunity to buy equipment out of your first week's income before entering play.

*Your Faction has trained you in one Skill that they expect all ranking members to be proficient in. You have a 1 XP discount on every level of this skill. This means that L1 is free.

== Background ==
*Pick one description of a trade or other skill. This was your PC’s specialist training or career before you became an agent for a Faction.
*Examples: Archivist, Lawyer, Tracker, Sailor, Siege Engineer, Forger, Priest, Gambler.
*This skill represents your background and history, and the refs may take this into account in appropriate situations.

{{#lsth:General_Rules|Player Character Specifics}}

===Buying New Skills===

*The Starting XP for a new PC is currently {{startingXP}}. Starting XP will increase by 1 per week.
*Starting XP must be spent before the character enters play. Any unspent Starting XP is lost.

*L5 skills will need to be made available by PC action.

== Sample Character Builds ==
Each of these character builds includes a few ideas for ways to roleplay the character, as well as suggestions other concepts that work with the same stats, modified for different faction discount skills.

Don't feel bound to the suggested Backgrounds or Paradigms - if you like one of these concepts but have a strong idea for their former life or worldview, go for it. The suggestions here are simple ideas for if nothing else springs to mind.

|paradigm=Paradigms: "The body is a complex machine, and my understanding of anatomy allows me to repair it" (this gets you a fairly standard real-world-esque surgical style), or "Injuries are an external influence on the Truth of how a body should work; I can move these influences from the body to a piece of crystal, thereby returning the body to its proper form."

Downtime

2014-10-10T15:55:59Z

MorkaisChosen: grammar

==Downtime==
Downtime is the time that passes in the world between events, as opposed to Uptime, which is what happens in an Interactive or Linear. Your characters are busy people, and when not at the bar their Faction will have plenty of work for them. You do have the option to specify one Major Action and a few Minor Actions that your character attempts during Downtime. Downtime actions are not guaranteed to succeed; you will be told the results before the next interactive.

Please state your downtimes concisely. Descriptive passages are interesting and often appreciated, but the refs have limited reading time. The Refs reserve the right to veto downtime actions that they cannot swiftly understand. If you would like to submit a long-form action, we'd appreciate a short summary at the top. All mechanical decisions will be made on the summary, not the fiction.

Any items you receive in your Downtime will be specifically defined by the Refs, and you should pick up the appropriate Ribbons and/or Cards from them at the Interactive.

You may submit your downtime [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/10VyO5UJcd9C2ehghb2Oaq9n_Senh59lJS1ElqVyEP3g/viewform?usp=send_form here]

===Major Actions===
Major actions are things you plan to do. Things that affect the world around your PC, have a chance to fail or not go to plan, or require a detailed response from the Refs. For example, although researching a subject in your Embassy’s archives might not affect anyone else, the Refs will have to write up the information for you, so it’s a Major Action.

Examples of Major Actions:
*Crafting an Item.
*Casting a couple of rituals.
*Research.
*Espionage.
*Exploration.
*Trying to buy a rare or unusual item.

===Minor Actions===
Minor actions are things the refs need to know. Stuff that can for the most part just happen, and to which the Refs can reply “okay, noted”.

Examples include:
*Ordering something off the Equipment List.
*Sending a letter.
*Requesting an NPC meet with you in uptime (you are not guaranteed a response).
*Actions that are purely roleplay “I get drunk with that PC, I pray at my temple”, etc.
*If the Refs feel a Minor Action is really a major action, they will inform you to chose it or your Major Action.

===Spending XP===
If you want to buy a new Skill, please submit that on your Downtime.

===Doing nothing===
No Flag, No Country is a Live-Action Roleplaying Game, not a play by email RPG. If you don’t want to submit a downtime, that’s fine!

Character Creation Mechanics

MorkaisChosen:

This is a purely mechanical description of the requirements for building a character. For a more in depth guide on how to think about a character concept and build it into a character see [[How_to_Create_a_Character|How to Build a Character]].

Please email any character builds to larp-refs@srcf.net, and include a brief description of the character's Paradigm and history. Please don't send as attachments, plain text in the email is best. Putting them in wiki format is perfect, and we have a template for this.

*A FURTHER SKILL
|biography=Tell us about your PC
}}

</pre></div>
</div>
|}

== Faction Membership ==
*Each Nation, Guild and Church is a [[The Factions|Faction]].
*You can only be a member of one Faction.
*You can play any race or national origin in any faction.
*Your Faction has trained you in one Skill that they expect all ranking members to be proficient in. You have a 1 XP discount on every level of this skill. This means that L1 is free.

== Background ==
*Pick one description of a trade or other skill. This was your PC’s specialist training or career before you became an agent for a Faction.
*Examples: Archivist, Lawyer, Tracker, Sailor, Siege Engineer, Forger, Priest, Gambler.
*This skill represents your background and history, and the refs may take this into account in appropriate situations.

== Skills ==
===Basic Skills===
{{#lsth:General_Rules|Player Character Specifics}}

===Buying New Skills===
*Every Skill costs Experience Points (XP) equal to its level
*The Starting XP for a new PC is currently {{startingXP}}. Starting XP will increase by 1 per week.
*Starting XP must be spent before the character enters play. Any unspent Starting XP is lost.
*A starting character may not have any skill above L3. This restriction will be lifted over the course of the game.
*Any character may buy any skill line. You can for example be an Ozgur in the Vendicsal Faction and have Transmutation trained.
*You must buy up numbered skills in order. So you require Will 1 to buy Will 2, and Will 2 to buy Will 3.

For a list of skills, visit [[Skills]]

== Character Progression ==
*Characters gain 1 XP per week. Characters that are played in a given week gain an additional 1 XP.
*Characters may have a maximum of 60 XP.
*L5 skills will need to be made available by PC action.

== Sample Character Builds ==
Each of these character builds includes a few ideas for ways to roleplay the character, as well as suggestions other concepts that work with the same stats, modified for different faction discount skills.

Character Creation Mechanics

MorkaisChosen: /* Sample Character Builds */

This is a purely mechanical description of the requirements for building a character. For a more in depth guide on how to think about a character concept and build it into a character see [[How_to_Create_a_Character|How to Build a Character]].

Please email any character builds to larp-refs@srcf.net, and include a brief description of the character's Paradigm and history. Please don't send as attachments, plain text in the email is best. Putting them in wiki format is perfect, and we have a template for this.

MorkaisChosen: /* Sample Character Builds */

This is a purely mechanical description of the requirements for building a character. For a more in depth guide on how to think about a character concept and build it into a character see [[How_to_Create_a_Character|How to Build a Character]].

Please email any character builds to larp-refs@srcf.net, and include a brief description of the character's Paradigm and history. Please don't send as attachments, plain text in the email is best. Putting them in wiki format is perfect, and we have a template for this.

*You can only be a member of one Faction.
*You can play any race or national origin in any faction.
*Your Faction has trained you in one Skill that they expect all ranking members to be proficient in. You have a 1 XP discount on every level of this skill. This means that L1 is free.

== Background ==
*Pick one description of a trade or other skill. This was your PC’s specialist training or career before you became an agent for a Faction.
*Examples: Archivist, Lawyer, Tracker, Sailor, Siege Engineer, Forger, Priest, Gambler.
*This skill represents your background and history, and the refs may take this into account in appropriate situations.

Character Creation Mechanics

MorkaisChosen: /* Sample Character Builds */

This is a purely mechanical description of the requirements for building a character. For a more in depth guide on how to think about a character concept and build it into a character see [[How_to_Create_a_Character|How to Build a Character]].

== Faction Membership ==
*Each Nation, Guild and Church is a [[The Factions|Faction]].
*You can only be a member of one Faction.
*You can play any race or national origin in any faction.
*Your Faction has trained you in one Skill that they expect all ranking members to be proficient in. You have a 1 XP discount on every level of this skill. This means that L1 is free.

== Background ==
*Pick one description of a trade or other skill. This was your PC’s specialist training or career before you became an agent for a Faction.
*Examples: Archivist, Lawyer, Tracker, Sailor, Siege Engineer, Forger, Priest, Gambler.
*This skill represents your background and history, and the refs may take this into account in appropriate situations.

== Skills ==
===Basic Skills===
{{#lsth:General_Rules|Player Character Specifics}}

===Buying New Skills===
*Every Skill costs Experience Points (XP) equal to its level
*The Starting XP for a new PC is currently {{startingXP}}. Starting XP will increase by 1 per week.
*Starting XP must be spent before the character enters play. Any unspent Starting XP is lost.
*A starting character may not have any skill above L3. This restriction will be lifted over the course of the game.
*Any character may buy any skill line. You can for example be an Ozgur in the Vendicsal Faction and have Magical Ability trained.
*You must buy up numbered skills in order. So you require Will 1 to buy Will 2, and Will 2 to buy Will 3.

For a list of skills, visit [[Skills]]

== Character Progression ==
*Characters gain 1 XP per week. Characters that are played in a given week gain an additional 1 XP.
*Characters may have a maximum of 60 XP.
*L5 skills will need to be made available by PC action.

Calls

2014-10-09T23:16:24Z

MorkaisChosen:

A “Call” is an {{gloss|OC}} word or phrase used to describe the in-game effect of an action.

You do not hear them {{gloss|IC}}.

You may make a maximum of one call per second.

== OC Calls ==
{{gloss|OC}} calls are used to tell the players (not the characters) what is going on, and in cases of emergency.

==== STOP THE GAME ====
The most important call in LARP. STOP THE GAME means there has been an real-life injury, someone has lost their glasses or there has been another {{gloss|OC}} emergency. Anyone may call STOP THE GAME and should do so if needed. As soon as STOP THE GAME is called, the action suspends entirely, everyone should stop moving, and appropriate action is taken. Repeat the call to anyone who has not noticed. Once the emergency is over, if the game is to continue then people are asked to return to where they were when STOP THE GAME was called and TIME IN restarts the action.

==== MAN DOWN ====
This means exactly the same as STOP THE GAME. It is included here as an alternative because it is in common usage in many systems, so people may call this instead of STOP THE GAME. STOP THE GAME is preferred where possible because we're not all men.

==== TOO HARD ====
Call this if you've been hit too hard by somebody. Anybody can make a mistake so try and be polite if it happens and use this call rather than a string of abuse! If it's happening a lot, speak to a ref. If somebody says 'Ow' and acts in pain but doesn't say this, hopefully they're roleplaying the hit.

==== TIME IN ====
The call to start roleplaying. Once TIME IN is called, the game has started. This may only be called by a Ref.

==== TIME OUT ====
The call to stop roleplaying. Once TIME OUT is called, the game is over for that evening. This may only be called by a Ref.

==== TIME FAFF ====
The call to continue roleplaying, but not move forward. On linears, occasionally additional time is needed to get a big encounter ready; in this case, TIME FAFF will be called and the party will spontaneously stop for a quick {{gloss|IC}} break. This may only be called by a Ref.

==== TIME FREEZE ====
This is close to a system call in its application. Upon hearing TIME FREEZE, all players should remain motionless, close their eyes and hum loudly so as not to hear what is going on.

== IC Calls ==
These tell you what your character needs to do. Combat calls will either be made when someone hits you, by describing a target and pointing at them, or attached to a MASS or WIDE call.

==== <TARGET> <CALL> ====
For example “You in the red hat! {{call|MAGIC}} {{call|TRIPLE}}!” or “Dave! {{call|KNOCKBACK}}!”. The target takes the given effect. Maximum range 10m.

====MASS====
Affects anyone within a 3m-long cone. Delineate an area of effect with your arms. If you aim upwards,it will hit everyone in a 3m radius.

====WIDE====
Affects anyone within a 10m radius. In the {{gloss|interactive}}, this hits everyone in the venue.

====REFRESH====
Regain all your {{gloss|stamina}}. Usually feels {{gloss|IC}} like a wave of power spreads through the {{gloss|interactive}} venue, or the {{gloss|Linear}} site.

==== SINGLE ====
Lose one {{gloss|hit}}. Does not need to be called, it is implied by melee blow.

==== TRIPLE ====
Lose 3 {{gloss|hits}}.

==== MAGIC ====
In general, MAGIC has no additional effect. Against certain creatures, a MAGIC call will reduce or destroy their ability to call {{call|RESIST}} to blows.

==== ENTANGLE ====
You must not move from the spot except for safety reasons for 10 seconds. You are unaffected by {{call|KNOCKBACK}} during this time. Call {{call|RESIST}} to it.

==== DISRUPT ====
You cannot cast make {{gloss|strikes}} or cast {{gloss|spells}} other than {{call|BREAK}} for the next 10 seconds, You lose any {{gloss|spell}} you were in the process of casting. If you are a {{gloss|participant}} in a {{gloss|ritual}} this pauses the {{gloss|ritual}} until it wears off.

==== CRUSH ====
If this hits a limb, you cannot use that limb effectively. If it hits your torso and you are not wearing {{gloss|armour}}, lose all {{gloss|hits}}. Otherwise, you may not use {{gloss|strikes}} or {{gloss|spells}}. Lasts until healed. Some monsters always count as wearing {{gloss|armour}}.

==== DISARM ====
Must strike the target’s arm if by weapon blow. Drop the the item you are holding with that hand or place it on the floor. If you cannot safely drop it (e.g. a shield strapped to the arm, wand on a wrist strap) ''it is unusable for the next 10 seconds'' and any hits to it count as a hit to your arm.
{{pedant-box|
*Don't bounce your focus on a strap like a yo-yo so it technically touches the ground. Pick it up.
*Don't deliberately target DISARMed items where you have other valid targets. Nobody is going to fall over from you hitting the wand that's on a three foot cord behind them.
}}

==== STRIKEDOWN ====
You must roleplay being struck to the ground. You may alternatively squat for 3 seconds or put one knee and one hand to the ground if falling is unsafe. You are struck down even if you block the blow.

==== KNOCKBACK ====
You must take 3 full steps back as quickly and safely as possible. If this puts your back against a hard surface you may stop. You must step back even if you block the blow. If you cannot or do not wish to step back, you must take a STRIKEDOWN.

==== BREAK ====
Removes {{call|ENTANGLE}} and {{call|DISRUPT}}. You can make BREAK calls even whilst under the effect of {{call|DISRUPT}}.

==== RESTORE ====
You are no longer under the effect of {{call|CRUSH}} on any location.

==== CURE N ====
{{id|CURE}}
You are healed by N {{gloss|hits}}.

==== CURSE ====
See a {{gloss|ref}} as soon as possible.

==== EFFECT N ====
{{id|EFFECT}}
EFFECT may not be made on someone who is in combat. It indicates they take a complicated effect, which you then explain. Unless otherwise stated, this lasts until midnight. The strength of the effect is equal to N.

====EXECUTE====
Your character is dead. Always requires a 10s of roleplay that may be interrupted. Only works if your character is {{gloss|unresisting}}.

==== COMPEL N (One complete command) ====
{{id|COMPEL}}
Unless otherwise stated, this lasts until the next {{call|REFRESH}} call.

When you take this call you follow the instruction given to the best of your ability.

A COMPEL requiring further input, i.e. “Obey my every command” will fail.

You are aware that a foreign influence is trying to control your actions.

These COMPELs last until they expire or you do one of the following:
*Spend N {{gloss|stamina}} to shake off the effect.
*Take N {{gloss|wounds}} to shake off the effect.

==== RESIST ====
This call indicates that you have heard someone else's call, but you are not reacting in the way they might expect. It is purely {{gloss|OC}} information.

==== DROP ====
You fall unconscious and cannot be roused. Normally used for visions etc. May not be {{call|RESIST}}ed.

Character Creation Mechanics

MorkaisChosen:

This is a purely mechanical description of the requirements for building a character. For a more in depth guide on how to think about a character concept and build it into a character see [[How_to_Create_a_Character|How to Build a Character]].

== Faction Membership ==
*Each Nation, Guild and Church is a [[The Factions|Faction]].
*You can only be a member of one Faction.
*You can play any race or national origin in any faction.
*Your Faction has trained you in one Skill that they expect all ranking members to be proficient in. You have a 1 XP discount on every level of this skill. This means that L1 is free.

== Background ==
*Pick one description of a trade or other skill. This was your PC’s specialist training or career before you became an agent for a Faction.
*Examples: Archivist, Lawyer, Tracker, Sailor, Siege Engineer, Forger, Priest, Gambler.
*This skill represents your background and history, and the refs may take this into account in appropriate situations.

== Skills ==
===Basic Skills===
{{#lsth:General_Rules|Player Character Specifics}}

===Buying New Skills===
*Every Skill costs Experience Points (XP) equal to its level
*The Starting XP for a new PC is currently {{startingXP}}. Starting XP will increase by 1 per week.
*Starting XP must be spent before the character enters play. Any unspent Starting XP is lost.
*A starting character may not have any skill above L3. This restriction will be lifted over the course of the game.
*Any character may buy any skill line. You can for example be an Ozgur in the Vendicsal Faction and have Magical Ability trained.
*You must buy up numbered skills in order. So you require Will 1 to buy Will 2, and Will 2 to buy Will 3.

For a list of skills, visit [[Skills]]

== Character Progression ==
*Characters gain 1 XP per week. Characters that are played in a given week gain an additional 1 XP.
*Characters may have a maximum of 60 XP.
*L5 skills will need to be made available by PC action.

General Rules

2014-10-09T15:08:43Z

MorkaisChosen:

This is an {{gloss|OOC}} document, that explains the general rules of NFNC.

'''Important:''' If you have not yet done so, please read the [[Safety]] instructions.

== Basic Concepts ==
*Any being in this system has a number of {{gloss|hits}}, which are lost in the face of physical damage, these are global, so no matter where you are hit you lose {{gloss|hits}} from the same single total.

*Beings ''may'' also have a quantity of {{gloss|stamina}} which fuels their powers and lets them resist [[Calls#COMPEL|mental compulsions]].

*Someone with their finger in the air is not present in the game world, and you should ignore them.

*Nothing in this system can silence a being short of death or the {{call|DROP}} call.

*If an object has a '''blue ribbon''' on it is a {{gloss|Magical item}}. If it has a '''yellow ribbon''' it is {{gloss|Valuable}}. Any character who sees the item can sense this. Some {{gloss|skills}} can tell you what the magic is or how much it's worth. Please don't use these colour ribbons on your costume.

== Basic Combat Rules ==
*The [[Calls|Calls]] page lists all the calls that you might encounter while playing the system.

*Any member of the three playable races can use one melee weapon up to 42” long. These do {{call|SINGLE}} damage. You do not need to call this but may do if you wish to make it clear.

*If you are hit by a melee blow it always removes at least one {{gloss|hit}} from your total.

*If you are hit by an arrow, it applies the damage call {{call|TRIPLE}} {{call|CRUSH}} {{call|STRIKEDOWN}} to the location it hits.

*While you are fighting you should not aim for the head if any other area is viable.

== Player Character Specifics ==
* A player character that has spent no experience has the following properties:
** They have 3 global {{gloss|hits}}
** They may gain 2 {{gloss|hits}} by wearing {{gloss|armour}} that covers their torso
** They have 0 {{gloss|stamina}}
** They earn 32 {{gloss|Ducatto}} per week.

They also have access to the following two {{gloss|abilities}}:

{{Ability|First Aid|
{{gloss|Factions}} like their agents to have at least a bit of first aid training. You can pause another character’s {{gloss|bleed count}} by placing both hands on them. If neither of you are disturbed for 60 seconds, you may call {{call|CURE}} 1 on the {{gloss|dying}} character.

Anyone can ask after a few seconds investigation, “OC: Have you lost Hits?” and get a truthful answer.}}

{{Ability|Catch Breath|
If you are not in a {{gloss|stressful situation}} you can spend 60 seconds to cure any locations ruined by {{call|CRUSH}} and restore all {{gloss|hits}}, but you will take a {{gloss|wound}} from pushing yourself too far; see a {{gloss|ref}}. It should be obvious to everyone that you are regaining your abilities, either because you are fixing your armour, bent over double breathing hard or meditating. You can not shout or run whilst doing this, although you may talk normally.}}

== Dying ==

If your character reaches 0 {{gloss|hits}}, you should fall to the floor. Your character is now {{gloss|dying}}.

A {{gloss|dying}} character who receives a {{call|CURE}} call ceases to be {{gloss|dying}}, as they regain hits.

Someone who is {{gloss|dying}} can neither move under their own power nor take any IC action except talking. A {{gloss|dying}} character cannot resist any action taken on them.

=== Terminal ===

After spending 120 seconds {{gloss|dying}}, a {{gloss|character}} becomes {{gloss|terminal}}. They cannot be saved by any means, and the {{gloss|player}} may choose when the {{gloss|character}} dies. A {{Gloss|character}} may only remain {{gloss|terminal}} until the end of the next {{gloss|interactive}}. While {{gloss|terminal}} a {{gloss|character}} should roleplay being mortally wounded.

A {{gloss|terminal}} character who receives a {{call|CURE}} call is able to walk but is otherwise treated as {{gloss|dying}}. If they take any damage, they should fall over until they receive another {{call|CURE}}.

=== Executions and Wounding ===

Someone who is not actively resisting can be {{gloss|executed}} with 10 seconds spent roleplaying delivering an obvious deathblow to the target with a weapon. Call {{gloss|EXECUTE}}.

Someone who is not actively resisting can be given a {{gloss|wound}} instead of completely being executed. This takes 10 seconds

== Wounds ==

If your PC becomes {{gloss|dying}}, either a {{gloss|ref}} will come over to you or you should remind a {{gloss|ref}} at the end of the {{gloss|encounter}}. You will then receive an appropriate {{gloss|wound card}} with 8 levels of {{gloss|wounds}} on it. Your PC has the the first level of {{gloss|wound}} on the card, and each subsequent time they become {{gloss|dying}}, they go up a level.

PCs may also receive {{gloss|wound}}s at {{gloss|ref}} discretion. Refs may also hand out extra levels of {{gloss|wound}}s that have their own cards. For example, your PC is attacked by a poisonous monster. You gain a card with a specific extra {{gloss|wound}} of "POISONED: Lose 1 Maximum Hit"

A character's {{gloss|wounds}} heal naturally over time, and a {{gloss|PC}} loses 2 levels of {{gloss|wounds}} at the end of each {{gloss|interactive}}, regardless of whether they were played or not.

{{gloss|Wounds}} may by physical or mental, this has no effect on the {{gloss|skill needed}} to treat them, it is always the Healing {{gloss|skill}}.

== Creating a Character ==

To create a character you must decide on the following 3 things:

#A faction membership
#A background
#A list of {{gloss|skills}}

How to Create a Character

2014-10-07T10:37:59Z

MorkaisChosen: /* Who do you serve? Why are you here? */

Note: This is not intended to be a short and concise guide on the mechanics of building a character. This guide is a more in depth look at both the system and the process of creating and fleshing out a character and the choices you will have to make.

== Who are you and What gives you power? ==
The first step to creating a character in NFNC is to think about who that character is. A "high concept" is a popular place to start for RPG characters, especially in some tabletop games. A high concept is a short phrase that describes the character. If you can describe your PC in a quick sentence, it's a good bet that you can come up with something based off that.

Some examples:
*"Antiquarian with a Nose for Trouble"
*"Indentured Knight of the Builder's Community"
*"Spell-slinging Ice Mage"
*"Wizard Private Investigator"

All abilities in NFNC beyond those of a normal being are expressions of inner power through a set of beliefs referred to as a paradigm. This can vary wildly, but while characters may have very different beliefs about how the powers they have work, the mechanical skills are the same. For example both a mage hurling fireballs, a priest declaring divine wrath and a martial artist projecting their Ki all use the same skill that lets you damage people at a distance.

Starting from either an archetype, a concept or a paradigm and building up the rest is the easiest way to go about constructing a character. This will then give you a framework to work from when choosing skills, as if a skill can't be explained under your character’s Paradigm it probably isn't one that is thematically appropriate.

== Who do you serve? Why are you here? ==
The game is set on a previously unexplored archipelago where an artefact of great power has been discovered. Three nations and seven multi-national organisations have all sent agents to stake their claim to what new knowledge and valuables can be found on this new continent.

As a player your character is an Agent of one of these factions sent to this continent to do that faction’s will. Along with the three nations are the four churches of the gods and the guilds of Antiquarians, Caravaneers and Mages. For more information on what the different factions are and what they are interested in see the [[The Factions|Factions]] pages. The top level page for each faction will give you a brief overview of the faction and what their goals are; it will also offer you links to further information on that faction.

Each faction offers a discount on the purchasing of one particular tree of profession skills.

==What's your personality?==
One simple way of creating a personality for your character is to take one aspect of yourself and turn it up to 11. A Builder PC might be "Overwhelming sense of duty", a mage might be "I'll turn my curiosity up". THis has the advantage that you only need to remember one way in which your character's response will differ from your own. Shortening your temper or patience on top of this is also good, as it means you do stuff. Larp isn't real, you can take the risks and if your character gets broken, make another one.

Another popular method is to think of some personality traits of your favourite fictional characters and then apply those to your PC.

== What skills do you have? ==
The last step of creating a character is to decide what skills they have. This is done by paying XP to buy the different named skills in the system. A starting character has {{starting_xp}}XP. A starting character cannot purchase skills above level 3.

To purchase skill at a given level, your character must own all earlier levels of that skill. For example to buy ''Armour 3'' your character must already have ''Armour 2'' and ''Armour 1''.

To buy a skill you must pay a number of XP equal to its level - 1 for 1st level skills, 2 for 2nd level and so forth. The exception to this is your character's faction discount skill; for this skill each level costs 1XP less, so the 1st level is free, the second costs 1XP and so forth.

The skills in NFNC are grouped into three general categories: combat skills, mystic skills and profession skills.

Combat skills are generally very simple. They a character more hits or stamina, or give them the ability to use new types of weapons or armour.

Mystic skills give access to different powers that can be used in combat situations to harm your enemies or aid your allies; they all give your character the ability to perform a feat that no normal being could in exchange for spending stamina. Unlike the other skills, each of the three Mystic skill trees contains several skills at each level. These are bought separately; to buy a mystic skill of 2nd level or above, you must have at least one skill from the level below. You can buy multiple skills from the same level of a Mystic tree.

Profession skills give access to a wide variety of powers, often not directly applicable to combat. Unlike Mystic skills, buying a level of a Profession gives access to all abilities in that level. Each faction has one profession tree that they offer at a discount.

==Costume==
There is a more extensive list of kit suggestions for each Faction in their individual pages, but mostly kit is "Generic fantasy". A good rule of thumb is "Does it look vaguely like something before the 16th Century if you squint?". We don't want to discourage people from re-purposing modern clothing to look IC, but we'd like you not to turn up in inappropriate historical kit like top hats, tricorns and frock coats.

Church of the Builder

2014-10-06T20:15:01Z

MorkaisChosen:

God of Community and Loyalty. The Perfect City. Never depicted the same twice in any church or artwork, as the Builder is the spirit of community. Identified by the bronze trowel or shovel she holds.

'''Faction Skill: ''' [[Prof:Will|Will]]

'''Common Faction Symbol:''' A trowel or shovel

==Theology==

The modern Church of Builder dates to the beginnings of the Hegemony. It is believed that Builder helped communities form during this time, and that when those communities who worship Builder pass through this world join together again in the next one. Builder Churches have no laws against slavery, but are less open about keeping their slaves after the Treaty, because keeping a member of another Faction captive in such a way may be seen as criminal.

They are certain the Builder favours a strong, hierarchical community. Some believe she wants them to be strong enough to withstand outside threats, to weather storms and profitable enough to make merry during the Winter. The clergy support communities who protect their own and suffer no insult to even the smallest of them and theirs. They believe people should proclaim Builder and all her glory, by word, by deed, by example, by choice.

=== Inquisition ===

Many churches have no Inquisition, although there are often Templars ready to guard a temple from any threat. Templars are particularly conspicuous in their defense of Preachers- any who move to strike a preacher quickly find two Templar blades at their throat. Builder’s preachers not only exalt Builder, but often take it upon themselves to preach against the five evils of society- want, disease, ignorance, squalor, and idleness. Most Builders consider the Stranger to be a creature of Ignorance and Idleness, whose nature is to revel in the Realm and not work for the betterment of all. As such, anyone who works or associates with Strangers should find no place in their Community.

=== Builder and Slavery ===

Large-scale open slavery is all but unheard of under the Treaty of Ozgur-Sehir, but some Churches of the Builder take criminals, those who choose service over destitution, and the children of parents who cannot care for them as indentured servants. There is always a choice involved, though it may be the decision of a child's parents or the choice to commit a crime. This can produce fanatically devoted labourers and Templars.

== Five points on the Builder ==
;They are here to Strengthen.
:Castaway villages should follow your example, becoming outposts of their former Nations or countries in their own right.
;The inhabitants of Mat Sellah fell to something. Their community was weak.
:Find the nature of this weakness, so that the societies of today can protect themselves.
;Ensure that the Strangers of Mat Sellah are seen as a danger, not an opportunity,
;Strive to ensure that the Portal is well organized, and that the laws are upheld.
:Lest the Portal too falls prey to this land, especially the Churches that the Builder has created
;Preach the importance of the Builder, and encourage others to spread the importance of her virtues

Slavery in the Builder Church

2014-10-06T20:08:32Z

MorkaisChosen: Created page with "Many years ago, a sizable proportion of Builderite communities openly practiced slavery. Our community is strong, the argument went, and so we should bring others into this co..."

Many years ago, a sizable proportion of Builderite communities openly practiced slavery. Our community is strong, the argument went, and so we should bring others into this community - by force if necessary. Communities following this approach to the Builder would send organised warbands of fanatical troops to conquer their neighbours and bring them into the fold. Those who surrendered and joined the conquering community could often become as valued as any other citizen; those who refused to assimilate were enslaved.

The Treaty of Ozgur-Sehir makes such actions against other Factions illegal, and even before the Treaty, the size and strength of the Nations made it far less common. Slavery persists in some Churches of the Builder, but in a much different form - those who can no longer support themselves or their dependents, or who simply wish to escape their old life and can see no other way to do so, give themselves to the Church, receiving aid and shelter in return for a period of indentured servitude, joining members of the faith who have committed a grievous sin against their fellows and been sentenced to penitential service. Approaches vary, but in some Churches, this period can be indefinite - particularly for children to the Church by parents who believe they cannot look after them.

Some resent the demands the Church makes of them when they have no other option, but for those with a strong faith in the Builder and an understanding of the arguments in favour of slavery of this kind - the sacrifice of independence and service in return for aid, the equal and opposite responsibilities of master and servant, and the sanctity of giving oneself over to be defined wholly by service to Community rather than selfish wants - it is a religious experience. These devoted slaves give their Churches unstinting labour, and those with the right training make terrifying Templars who fear pain and injury only because it hinders their service to their Preacher and their Church. The service of the most devoted ends only when they die - or, in a very few cases, when they realise their master serves themself, not their community...
