Arcana Blade

Advanced Charactermancy , Combat and Magic.

An ancient and much advanced civilization caused a cataclysm releasing magic into the world and tearing the VR world known as the Cortex into a parallel universe of its own. The Cortex was warped by the interaction with magic and became a dimension of horror and dread. Where the Cortex intersects with the Material Plane it manifests Warp Dungeons, Warp Spawn, and Abominations ( among other things) . As Warp Runners, Inquisitors and Dungeoneers it is your job to cleanse the dungeon and defeat its champions to then access its core and reap your rewards.



Core of the game

Arcana Blade uses an in depth combat system designed with both players and game masters in mind. Arcana Blade allows both mental and physical combat to be played out like never before , simultaneous strikes , locking weapons , interrupts and counters, feints and the perception of feints , a fresh look at grappling , and a magic system unique in every way yet handsomely familiar .

Combat System

The combat system is based on opposed rolls where successes cancel successes and what’s left over is what determines the outcome. There will be lots of dice and lots of dice modifiers . Most of these modifiers are done behind the scenes by players and Dm well before the game is played . some will occur spontaneously and need to be added to the opposed roll. Your attacks will vary between the 5 attack methods and so will your defenses. More on that later. okokokok

Technomancy

The rebuilding of society after the Rise of the Machine God Odin, has been heavily influenced by the availability of magic to inventors, artisans, engineers and the like. Though much knowledge was lost , new knowledge and applications were found.
