Hunter class

In last Monday's post I talked about the Thief and mentioned how the “backstab” ability has been moved to the Hunter class. It seems logical to me to cover the Hunter next then. So the Hunter is also found in folklore and fairytales like the Thief.  In Enchanted Kingdoms the hunter will be a character who has been trained in how to survive in the wild. For combat they have the ability to focus in bows and spears or axes and hammers. They also can take a talent that alludes to their time learning about creatures in order to hunt them. This Talent, currently called Predator, lets you roll to see how much you know about a creature when you encounter it. Each creature will have a small table that shows what information the character knows about the creature/monster and it’s abilities.  Hunters start with talents that give them bonuses to hiding and to fighting side by side with their allies. Over time they can expand their abilities to deal damage and impede the movement of their targets.

Like the Thief, the Hunter is also associated with one of the Reflection realms. The Hunter is connected to the Brightwylds which can lead them to enhance their natural abilities like sight and hearing. Or they can learn to use the Brightwylds connection to light to bend light around them,  and eventually being able to become completely invisible.

I am enjoying discussing and detailing small snippets of the classes but I could also discuss the game mechanics or some more details of the world. For example a more detailed description of the Enchanted Lands and its relflections. As a reader of my blog which of these would you like to see next? Would you like me to highlight the other character classes or talk about the world a little more?

    Curious as to why hammers? Doesn't seem like something a hunter would use to kill other things (as a tool though, sure).

    I would definitely do a post talking about the mechanics, and a separate post on world details (such as Reflections). That way you can link back to them when you mention them in a post (like this one) so everyone will be on the same page.

      Hammers are because lumberjacks also would use hammer and wedge on trees. That was the concept in my head anyways. Would it be better if it were just one talent that covered bows and axes?

Character Lineages and Nintendo games

Characters in the “Dice Pool” rules base are made by choosing a race and class and then choosing specific talents from those.  In Enchanted Kingdoms races have been replaced by “Lineages” in the core rule book. Your “Lineage” is the bloodline that you are able to use the powers from. However, this does not necessarily mean that it is the family that you are currently in. The bloodlines that you choose from are hundreds of years old and a person may manifest different abilities from their current family.  This can make for interesting interactions and motivations.  Also some Heritage talents could also be a curse that has been applied to the character. Either a monstrous beast form, or a small (mostly) harmless animal form, that the character transforms into could have been forced on your character. Or they could be magic inherited through their bloodline, it’s up to you; the player. Currently there are 14 Primary Lineages that you can choose from. There is also the “Anci...

A brief history/description of the Enchanted World

This probably should have been my first post but I am still new to blogging and planning in advance is not really something I have applying to my blog writing.  If you have read any of my past posts, you know that Enchanted Kingdoms is going to be a tabletop rpg. It is intended to be a light hearted rpg that blends concepts from our world’s folklore and fairytales. It will be a manual that includes the rules to play the game, as well as detailed information about the world in which the game is set, or the campaign setting. The Enchanted Kingdoms, also called the Enchanted World, is the “prime” or “mortal” realm. As I have previously mentioned there are the fae and shadow realms; which are reflections of the Enchanted World. The Enchanted World and its Reflections each have a “resonant element” or material they are connected to.  The Enchanted World’s is metal, the Duskfalls’ is crystal, and the Brightwylds’ is wood.  This is important to the history of the world as i...

Eating my words and a bunch of pictures

Super nerdy post this week, most of my time is going to packing and studying.  But some cool stuff happened that I am excited about. There is some Enchanted Kingdoms art at the end if you want to skip to that. A little over a week and Nintendo, and their friends, are making me eat my words. So in light of the recent announcement of the extension of the production of the mini SNES systems I have been proven wrong. Also they have announced Octopath traveler, a Square Enix game that I am trying to keep my excitement for under control.  At this point I am back on board wanting a Switch, and SNES mini.  Dang it Nintendo. Going to have to save up for those. Unfortunately, I dont have time to fight with blogger and get the images to line up the way i want, so i am sorrry for then all lining up in the center.  Last week Hasbro showed off the newest Optimus Prime toy. It can transform into a cartoon accurate Orion Pax:  which can combine with the trailer...
