1. PREFACE AND INTRODUCTION

Dear player, welcome to ConQuest.

The rule-set of the ConQuest Event is structured in order to allow many players fromdifferent Countries to play together. We knew that we had to avoid to shape thisrule-set too comple so that the chance to participate could !e given to!eginners as well as epert players of all nations.

"ro!a!ly we missed or forget a few skills, spells or rule-sets somewhere along theprocess. The idea !ehind was to find a good !alance to make it easy to convertan eisting Character and#or create a new one.

This of course leads to the $uestion of how many rules are needed for a %&'"anyways. (ince this set of rules is supposed to apply to Con$uest of )ythodeaa!ove all, it is our opinion it should contain an a!solutely necessary minimum of

a!ilities and frameworks that are to !e followed strictly*

+n top of that, the most important rule applies "lay along* f someone interactswith you, react*t doesnt matter how you react, !ut stay in character and react to the otherplayers actions in game. &t the same time do not epect a specific reaction toyour own actions from your fellow players. &ccept other peoples actions andcontinue playing on the !ase of that.&s long as all participants adhere to this simple course of action, everything youredoing will contri!ute to an eciting game for everyone.

Enough introduction, en/oy reading and memori0ing these rules and mostimportantly have a lot of fun at ConQuest, we1re glad you1re here with us*

n this chapter we want to clear up why we standardi0ed the effects of spells andalchemical )itures. 'egardless whether the effect comes from )ages, "riests orElementalists, "otion makers, &lchemists or pharmacists, they all have something incommon

They create different Effects on other !eings or themselves. :or us its completelyclear that any of these Classes are trying to get an effect in many different ways,and that they can eplain it with several Theories.;evertheless, the effect stays the same. n order to keep track of the effects,regardless through whom they are created, we unified them.4(ee chapter .G, %ist of all (pells and )itures5.

This offers some new possi!ilities to magical and alchemical skilled characters. &llthe effects have a mandatory way of action, duration and a word of command.4see chapter .G %ist of all the (pells and )itures5The o-' of $o**%"' *+& /e &o7e" %fe- he -e%-%!o" of he &ell o- o!o".

The word of command is always the name of the spell or miture. & player who isonly a!le to understand the word of command 4;ot the entire spell orpreparation5 , e.g in a !ig !attle, can !y this !e sure to play out the correct effect.This way, we are sure to stop discussions without restraining the characters in theirindividual gameplay.Effects with the same name in different values need all the weaker versions to !eknown !efore the mightier can !e learned. Effects that are created !y )agic,can not !e neutrali0ed through &lchemy and !ackwards.

&s long as you cling to the frame and mode of action of the 'ules for )agic and&lchemy, the way how you act it out is completely of your choice. 2ou canchoose the components and way of representing the spell during play freely !yyourself.(till, the corner points have to !e fulfilled. )eans, the magician has to use after hisspell the word of command and at least the minimum count of words for the spell,the alchemist has to o!ey the !rewery times and !oth of them need to act outthe activators of the effect 4throwing a component and hit the opponent, drink orget one into contact with the !rewed miery, etc.5

This means, that the effect will last until the caster fulfils special conditions. Duringthis time, the caster is not allowed to take part in fighting or to cast other spells.

Eample for usual conditions to meet. (pell endures as long the caster holds a special o!/ect in his hand and does

something special with it.>. &s long as he concentrates and points with a finger on his spell target.

This means thathe or she can use a total of H )agic "oints per day to cast spells. @ow many times

he casts a certain spell in his spell !ook is his own choice. The )agic pool can !eregenerated in three different ways

The first method is to sleep. 3 ho+-& of +"'!&+-/e' &lee -e#e"e-%e 3 of themaimum of his magic pool, ; ho+-& 'o = and when sleeping lo"#e- h%" =ho+-& 1. The second possi!ility is to find a master in &lchemy who can create aspecial potion called Energy :luid that allows a )agic-user to $uicklyregain )agic "oints.

To stay true to the classic image of a )agic-user, "riest, (haman, Druid etc. amagically gifted Character cannot cast spells anymore when wearing metal&rmour. This is also true for a chain mail shirt. The same isvalid for !attle f a )agic-user doesn1t cast any spells !ut actively gra!s aweapon and starts fighting or if he is physically attacked 4or wounded5 he hasinterrupted his casting !ecause he !reaks his concentration.;aturally a fleeing )agic-user cannot concentrate enough anymore to cast a)agical spell.%earning new spells is not a mere =!uyingA from a list. The "layer has to ac$uirethem in a logical way within the game. 4+f course there is some eception during

the creation.5

&s eample, new spells could !e ac$uired through a visit at an &cademy, throughmeeting up with a teacher, finding and studying scrolls and other methods. &s

stated !efore, learning a new skill#spell takes an amount of time and should !eplayed out accordingly. &ll possi!le (pells and )itures can !e found in Chapter.G. +thers than those are not allowed on the ConQuest Event.

.2 ALCHEMY

&lchemy is the lore of analysing and !rewing different kinds of su!stances, potionsor poisons. &lso, similar to )agic-users, the role-playing of the preparation isetremely important. (tarting with the collection of thespecific her!s, and continuing with the preparation itself 4light the fire, !oil water,crush the her!s, use phials and filters etc.5 the preparation ends with the analysis,heating up, distillation, filtering and !rewing.

8nlike )agic users, the alchemists have no limit in performing their arts !y spendingpoints, !ut they are limited !ecause of the preparation time re$uired for eachpotion or salve. The alchemists also have to rest at least I hours with undistur!ed

sleep !efore !eing a!le to have the necessary concentration to perform newtasks the net day.

:or eample, an alchemist that knows the recipe for )inutes per "otion and I hours of sleep5, aslong he or she would do a!solutely nothing else than that. 2ou may !rew morethan one portion at a time 4like, in the same cauldron5, !ut then the potion takesmore time to !rew. &s eample H "ortions at the same time in one process take hour to !rew 4H> mins5.9asically, there are two ways for the potions to affect someone

. RITUALS

Where the limited effects of (pellmagic, &lchemy or other skills reach their limits,the wide field of con/uring in rituals !egins. Whether the )agic-user is trying tocon/ure a creature from another plane, resurrect a friend that died too early in a!attle, curing a group of Characters from the effects of a magical disease, orcreate very strong magic effects to !e a!le to win an important !attle Thepossi!ilities of 'itual )agic are virtually limitless. n general, one can say that 'itualmagic is performed when one or more Characters want to do such special tasksthat normal
