Special Weapons
Some weapons cannot be accurately fit into any of the above categories. They are listed here, with their rules explicitly stated.

Whips/Chains
These weapons have a range of 10 feet, and may be used to initiate a Grapple attempt against an enemy.
One Handed: Deal 1d8 + 1 + Body/2 damage.
Two Handed: Deal 2d8 + 3 + Body/2 damage.

Gauntlets/Knuckledusters/etc
These weapons enhance unarmed damage, and is all. Using them causes the character to deal damage as if they had the Unarmed Fighter Talent if they don't have said Talent, or grant an additional +3 bonus to damage if they do. In addition, these can be enchanted like any other weapon.

Combo Weapons
These weapons are 2 or more normal weapons combined together, allowing a character to switch between them without having to spend an action. Any penalties that might come with wielding a weapon are active, even if the character isn't using that part of the combo weapon. Certain enhancements affect all parts of a combo weapon, while others only enhance a part of it. Enhancements that add to the whole thing cost an additional 50% per weapon beyond the first (so combo weapons with 2 parts cost 150%, 3 parts 200%, 4 parts 250%, etc.) If a cost is in parts, the character must pay the added cost in denarii or add additional instances of the required parts.
Enhancements that affect the entirety of a combo weapon:
+2 attack/damage for 50 denarii
AV ignore from an angel's feather.
+4 attack/damage from dragon parts.

Armor
AV = Armor Value. How much this armor adds to your Armor stat.
EV = Encumbrance Value. How much this armor decreases your character's Speed, Base Casting and Spirit Ceiling when worn. In addition, a character takes a penalty equal to twice this value to their Stealth stat. Note: EV cannot decrease Speed below 1, and also cannot decrease Base Casting or Spirit Ceiling below 3.
TP = Tearing points. How much damage a piece of armor can take before it falls apart. Any armor other than basic clothing reduced to 0 TP can be repaired, but not worn. For determing how much it costs to repair armor, see the Combat, Grappling, and You section of the Rules post.
DU = Durability. Whenever your character takes any amount of damage from an outside source, the amount prior to subtracting AV gets divided by this number and then subtracted from the armor's TP.

Armor can be weaker or stronger against certain types of physical damage. If a particular piece of armor has one or both, it will be indicated after the stats of that armor. Armor has its AV bonus halved against attacks of the type they are weak to, and its AV doubled against attacks of the type they are strong to.

Clothes: AV = 1, EV = 0, TP = 25, DU = 2.
(2 denarii)
Cloth

Leather Armor: AV = 5, EV = 1, TP = 30, DU = 3.
(5 denarii)
Leather

Battlemage's Robes: AV = 7, EV = 0, TP = 25, DU = 1.
(10 denarii)
Cloth

Badarian Flack Jacket: AV = 8, EV = 3, TP = 30, DU = 2. Weak against Bludgeoning. Strong against Piercing. Weak against Slashing. Bullet Resistant (only attacks that ignore all AV ignore defense granted by this armor)
(20 denarii)
Metal

Elven Bramble Armor: AV = 8, EV = 1, TP = 30, DU = 2. Weak against Slashing. Strong against Piercing.
(20 denarii)
Wood

Elven Warplate: AV = 12, EV = 3, TP = 30, DU = 4. Weak against Bludgeoning. Strong against Piercing.
(30 denarii)
Wood

Breastplate: AV = 12, EV = 4, TP = 50, DU = 4.
(30 denarii)
Metal

Chainmail: AV = 10, EV = 3, TP = 40, DU = 5. Weak against Piercing. Strong against Slashing.
(25 denarii)
Metal

Scale Mail: AV = 13, EV = 5, TP = 40, DU = 5.
(30 denarii)
Metal

Orcish Battle Armor: AV = 14, EV = 4, TP = 30, DU = 3. Weak against Slashing. Strong against Piercing.
(35 denarii)
Metal or Leather

Splint Mail: AV = 16, EV = 8, TP = 50, DU = 6.
(40 denarii)
Metal

Plate Armor: AV = 20, EV = 10, TP = 60, DU = 5.
(50 denarii)
Metal

Shields
Shields are items held in one hand and used to protect the character holding it against attacks. Increases a character's Dodge stat by some amount when equipped, but cause the wielder to be slowed slightly due to the added weight. They can also be used offensively in the form of a Shield Bash.
DB = Dodge Bonus. How much your character gets added to their Dodge stat while using the shield.
EV = Encumbrance Value. Just like armor.
All shields deal 3d6 + Body/3 damage when used to shield bash.

Buckler: DB = 6. EV = 0.

Round Light Shield: DB = 8. EV = 1.

Targe: DB = 6. EV = 1. Deals Piercing or Bludgeoning damage, plus an additional +6 damage when used to shield bash.

Round Heavy Shield: DB = 10. EV = 2. Deals +4 damage when used to Shield bash.

Kite Shield: DB = 12. EV = 2.

Tower Shield: DB = 15. EV = 4.

Weapons, Shields and Armor
The merchant sells all weapons and shields for 10 denarii. Armors have their cost listen next to them.

The merchant buys equipment for half price, rounded down. If the item in question is enchanted, the selling value increases by an amount equal to the enchantment cost. If items have been used to enhance a weapon, shield or piece of armor, then the selling value of the item used is added to the selling value of the item.

Enchanting Guide
Applying a bonus multiple times costs an additional amount of denarii or items equal to 1/2 again the price of the applied bonus times the number of bonuses applied.
For example, if an enhancement costs 50 denarii, applying it again costs another 75 denarii, and adding a third application costs an additional 100 denarii, ect. So, applying this same bonus would cost a total of 225 denarii.
An enhancement that uses 2 of an item would therefore require 3 of an item to enhance again, and then 4, and then 5, ect. So, 9 of the item to apply the same upgrade 3 times.

Enchanting any one item with a total value of 400 denarii or more (including the prices of items used to enchant them) causes the item to gain a form of limited sentience. The specifics of this are up to the GM.

Enchantments marked with a * instead of a - may only be applied once.

Weapons
*A weapon may be made to deal EP damage rather than HP damage for 50 denarii. Weapons with this enchantment deal the same damage dice, but get a bonus of Spirit/4 instead of Body/2. Damage by such weapons are subjected to both AV and any effects that reduce damage to EP. In addition, by itself a weapon enchanted this way can only kill targets that would die by reaching 0 EP, and will only render most opponents unconscious.

Enchantments requiring the above:
*A weapon that has been enchanted to deal energy damage may be enchanted to allow its wielder to drain half the energy damage it deals for two Greybrains or two Darkbrains or one Greybain and one Darkbrain.

*A weapon that has been enchanted both with a spell or power and the ability to deal energy damage instead of health damage may be enchanted to use EP equal to energy damage dealt in the previous round, up to a maximum of 10, to activate any spell or power it's enchanted with as long as that spell or power is activated within one round of the attack powering it for 20 denarii and one slime amber.

-A weapon can be enhanced to have a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls for 50 denarii.

-A weapon can be enhanced to deal an additional 1d8 damage of any of the energy types (Heat, Force, Electricity or Cold) for 40 denarii.

-A Shortened Polearm or Polearm can be enhanced to deal an additional +10 damage for 2 Monster's Horns.

-A Sword can be enhanced to have a +3 bonus to attack rolls and deal an additional 2d10 damage for 2 Faerie's Blood/Demon's Blood. This damage is Cold damage if the items used are Faerie's Blood, Heat if the items used are Demon's Blood, or Electricity if a mix is used.

-A Blunt Weapon can be enhanced to deal an additional +9 damage for 2 Hound's Teeth or 4 Monster's Fangs.

-A Primitive Ranged Weapon or a gun can be enhanced to increase its maximum range by 10 feet for 2 Slime Ambers.

-A gun (either a Pistol or a Rifle) or a Thrown Weapon (set) can be enhanced to force those hit by them to make a Resistance check against DC 28 or become Paralyzed for 2 Venom Sacks. Multiple instances of this enhancement do not cause additional checks, but instead increase the DC of the check by 14.

-A weapon can be enhanced to force creatures hit by it to make a Resistance check against DC 24 or gain one of the following statuses, chosen when this enhancement is added to the weapon, for 50 denarii. The status are: Weakened, Blinded, Paralyzed, or Stunned. Multiple instances of this enhancement do not cause additional checks, but instead increase the DC of the check by 12.

*A weapon can be enhanced to ignore the AV of creatures that it hits for an Angel's Feather and 200 denarii.

-A weapon can be enhanced to deal +4 damage and grant its wielder a +4 bonus to attack rolls when wielding it for 2 Dragon's Fangs, 2 Dragon's Claws, or one of each.

-A gun can be enhanced to grant a +2 bonus to attack rolls and ignore an additional 4 points of AV for 2 darkhearts, 2 greyhearts, or one of each.

*A throwing weapon can be enhanced to be Returning for 120 denarii. Returning throwing weapons automatically replenish their ammunition at the end of each round.

*A weapon (or miscellaneous item) may be enchanted as a focus item, effectively giving the creature using it a +4 bonus to attack rolls when using spells, powers, and succubus powers, a +1 damage bonus per spell level, and a free +1 bonus to the EP input of damage deal powers for 50 denarii and either 2 darkhearts or one dragon's fang.

-A melee weapon may be made to deal an additional 3 damage that ignores AV and DR and return that damage as HP to the wielder by paying 100 denarii.

-A piece of armor can be enhanced to increase its TP by 4 for 20 denarii.

-A piece of armor can be enhanced to grant its wearer a +3 bonus to Resistance and have its AV increased by 6 for one Dragon’s Scale. This enchantment can be applied multiple times, but if a fraction of a Scale is required the character must instead provide enough money to cover the fraction of the scale’s value as if it had been sold to the Merchant.

-A piece of armor can be enhanced to grants its wearer a +2 bonus to spell damage per spell level and a +4 bonus to Base Casting, as well as increasing the armor's AV by 1 and TP by 3 for 2 darkhearts/greyhearts, 2 horror carapaces, and 20 denarii. This enhancement cannot be applied to any piece of armor with greater than 1 EV.

*A piece of armor can be enhanced such that attacks which normally ignore armor to no longer ignore the AV granted by it for 2 Dragon's Scales and 2 Monster's Horns. Note that this applies only to attacks, not secondary damage from abilities.

-A piece of armor can be enhanced to require that creatures trying to remove it, shift it, or tear it beat the character's grapple by 5 or more to actually succeed by paying 40 denarii. Multiple stacks of this enchantment increase the amount by an additional 5 points. If the character's grapple check is within the margin created by this enchantment, their action still fails.

*A shield can be enhanced to grant an additional +2 DB, and be able to take any enhancement that could be added to a weapon, for 50 denarii.


Secondary Items
The category of secondary items Includes things like belts, jewelry, hats, helmets, gloves, and boots. For other items, please seek approval before enchanting. A single miscellaneous item may have any number of different enchantments on it, but unlike normal enchanted items don’t become sentient unless at least 1000 denarii worth of enhancements are added.


*Any item may be enhanced to grant its wearer the ability to cast a single Spell. The rules for this are below.
The cost of this enhancement depends on the level of the spell selected. Additional spells may be added to the same item without marking up the cost, but any given item can only hold up to 10 levels worth of spells.
Level 1 spells: 40 denarii
Level 2 spells: 80 denarii
Level 3 Spells: 120 denarii

Casting checks are not required to cast these spells. The item starts with an effective Mind stat equal to 30 for the purpose of determining the effects of this spell and the Resistance used for any secondary effects. They are always treated as if they had the Focus Talent in any element that they can cast a spell from. The item’s effective Mind stat can be increased by 10 by paying 40 denarii, repeatably at the normal markup.

The character using this item always pays any costs for any spells cast with this item, and uses the item’s Mind stat or their own to determine whether or not something hits, whichever is higher. In addition, spells cast from items cost a minimum of 1 EP.
A single item cannot allow a character to use Powers and cast Spells.
Instead of being activated by choice, an item can be made to cast a spell on its wearer under certain circumstances as indicated by the creator of the item.
A single item can have up to 5 spells, but adding more spells after the first costs an additional 10 denarii (at the usual markup for spells beyond the second) plus the cost of adding the spell as shown above.

*Any item may be enhanced to grant its wearer the ability to use a single Spirit Power. The rules for this are below.
A single power can be added for 120 denarii, and additional powers can be added to the same item for the usual markup. A single item can have no more than 3 Powers on it. The item has its own EP pool, but the only way to replenish the item’s EP pool is for the character to empower it with their own energy which takes one minute per ten points of EP. The item starts with a 10 point EP pool, and pays the same costs as the character would if they were using the power inherent in the item. If the power in question has an HP cost or some other requirement, the character still has to pay that. If the power requires an attack roll, it uses the appropriate stat of the character. A power used via an item can only use up to 6 EP per round. Attacks used through an item use the character's Spirit or 30 as a bonus to hit, whichever is higher, and this bonus may be increased by 10 by spending an additional 30 denarii.
The EP pool of an item can be increased by 10 in exchange for 30 denarii.
A single item cannot allow a character to use Powers and cast Spells. All constantly active powers have minimum 1 upkeep even if the value of X used in them would not require upkeep normally.

A note on the above:
- An item enchanted with a spell or spirit power may be enchanted with a trigger or a command word that will activate those spells in a set way (i.e. snapping a character's fingers will always produce a 4 EP lay on hands if set to do such, never a 2 EP etc.). If the item is non-sentient, the command must be a something simple such as a word, a whistle, drawing the item in question from its sheath or pouch (if it's something applicable), or a distinguishable noise. A non-sentient item cannot distinguish between commands or triggers given by its wielder or another character. A sentient item may be given more complex triggers, including reactionary ones, and can distinguish its wielder from others using the same command. Consult your GM for acceptable triggers. Anytime a trigger is used in as a means of making an enchanted spell or power a free action or free reaction, the associated costs are doubled (this may exceed 6 EP in the case of static cost spirit powers). Anytime a trigger is used as a means of making an enchanted spell or power a free action or reaction, any applicable resistance checks are instead rolled against the item's resistance, which will be considered a 20 DC and can't be buffed by temporary effects. An item with the trigger enchant on it may have its trigger modified by an enchanter for 5 denarii and additional triggers may be added alongside the first for 10 denarii.

- An item with a trigger enchantment may have its resistance DC increased by 5 for 30 denarii.

*A miscellaneous item can be enhanced to grants its wearer immunity to Fire/Heat damage, a +5 bonus to attack rolls and melee damage rolls, and a +10 bonus to Dodge for one Fiery Mantle and 2 Demon’s Bloods.

*A miscellaneous item can be enhanced to grants its wearer a +10 bonus to Dodge and Resistance, a +5 bonus to attack rolls, and Damage Reduction ¾ for one Angel’s Feather, one Dragon’s Scale, one monster's Horn, and two Slime Ambers. This item's Damage Reduction does not apply to creatures that already possess Damage Reduction naturally.

-A miscellaneous item can be enhanced to provide its wearer with a +2 bonus to Grapple, Dodge, attack rolls, melee OR ranged weapon damage rolls, Base Casting, Stealth, or Perception by paying 30 denarii. A single item may have any two of these bonuses applied to it, and each can be increased distinctly from the other without affecting their prices.

-A miscellaneous item can be enhanced to provide its wearer with a +3 bonus to AV for 2 darkhearts/greyhearts and 2 Shorn Nectars.

-A miscellaneous item can be enhanced to grants its wearer immunity to Cold damage, a +6 bonus to base casting checks, +5 to attack rolls, +2 to spell damage per level of spell, and a +10 bonus to Dodge for an Angel's Feather and 2 Faerie's Bloods. This bonus can only be applied once to a single item.

-A miscellaneous item can be enhanced to provide its wearer with a +2 bonus to the damage caused by spells per spell level by paying 20 denarii and trading 2 darkhearts/greyhearts.

-A miscellaneous item can be enhanced to contain a 10 point EP pool that the wearer can draw from or add to at will by paying 30 denarii.

-A miscellaneous item can be enhanced to provide 10 points of resistance to any one type of elemental damage (Heat, Cold, Force, or Electricity) by paying 30 denarii.

*A miscellaneous item can be enchanted to absorb up to 40 points of damage from Spells or Powers per round by paying 200 denarii. Effects that cause no damage but still target the character in a hostile manner effectively cost a total of 3 x their cost in EP against this item's maximum amount of energy per round. This maximum value can be increased by 20 spending an additional 60 denarii. If the character would ever take damage exceeding the maximum value of this item, it is destroyed.

Noticing the poison in food or drink requires a DC 15 Perception check in clean water, a DC 25 check in lightly flavored food or water (soaked in plain bread, dosed in milk or lightly flavored water,) a DC 35 check in more flavorful substances (dried fruit or meat, fruit juices,) and a DC 45 or higher check in any food more potent than these (wine or spiced foods.) Detecting the poison only means that they know they've been poisoned, not that they don't suffer its effects. This poison can also be applied to weapons and lasts for 3 hits, dealing that much damage to each creature hit for 3 rounds, requiring no Resistance check to avoid further damage.
Costs 20 denarii

This poison can also be applied to weapons and lasts for 3 hits, but the DC required to resist it is dropped to 35.
Costs 20 denarii

The Item Shop
Part 2

Effects of items if consumed/used:
Greyheart/Darkheart - Gain 100 corruption on consumption.
Pulsating Greyheart/Pulsating Darkheart - Gain 200 corruption on consumption. Also may be used as a darkheart in enchantment up to 2 times and not necessarily all at once, but its value drops 25 denarii and the corruption gained from consuming it by 100 if it's used once in that manner.
Greybrain/Darkbrain - Bad news.
Slime Amber - Can be used to store up to 5 EP from the character's pool, which can be used at any time in the future. Does not consume the Amber.
Shorn Nectar - Gain 40 HP and 40 EP, lose 3d6 resistance and become aroused if reduced to 0 resistance or horny if already aroused.
Venom Sack - Can be applied to a weapon to force an opponent struck to make a resistance check versus 25 or become paralyzed. Lasts three hits.
Huge Venom Sack - Can be used as a Venom Sack for poisoning or as a replacement for a Venom Sack in an enchantment or craft up to 4 times (both types of uses count toward this). Loses 25 denarii in value for each charge used.
Faerie's Blood/Demon's Blood - Can be consumed in order to gain a buff that lasts until the end of combat or for up to 5 minutes. Under the effects of this buff, the character's spells are considered 1 spell level higher for the purposes of determining effects and damage, and powers are considered to have 3 added to the X value at no EP cost and no effect to the spirit ceiling. Character gains 50 corruption.
Angel's Feather - If the character holding this would die, it is consumed and they are returned to life at 10 HP and 10 EP (if their current EP isn't higher). If they would be knocked unconscious, they may choose to consume the feather and return to life at full HP and EP. If a friendly character has died or been knocked unconscious within one round it may be used on them.
Nightmare's Mane - May be consumed in order to gain a fire shield that will absorb 100 heat/fire damage which lasts until dispelled or depleted.
Fiery Mantle - May be consumed in order to obtain complete heat/fire damage immunity and have any heat/fire damage that you deal doubled until the end of combat or for up to ten minutes.

Enchanting vs Crafting.
Enchanting is the art of using a magical ritual in order to transfer positive qualities of an item (strength, conductivity, that sort of thing) and imbuing another item with those strengths without imbuing that item with the downsides (weight, ease of breaking). An item crafted out of such a material or a mundane modification made to an item, on the other hand, might carry downsides such as increased weight or difficulty in wielding for an average person.

An enchantment's price can also be paid over time, because enchants can be added to slowly and over time, where-as forging armor or a weapon out of a material is an all or nothing prospect.

Additionally, another downside of enchanting equipment as opposed to simply crafting equipment out of magical material is that enchantments function poorly or not at all when in areas that would naturally disrupt spellcasting and spiritual powers.

Materials - Additional Costs and Crafting - These cannot be changed. A weapon, armor, or shield made out of a material remains that material, and though its sale price is modified to reflect as much, you must buy an entirely new weapon, armor, or shield in order to gain the benefits of a new material. Also note that these prices are in addition to the base price of the weapon/armor/shield you're purchasing.
Orcish Pattern Steel - 20 denarii for a weapon/25 for armor/25 for shield. (Free for Orc characters.)
Beast Hide - 25 denarii for armor/15 for a shield. (Can trade a beast hide to get this for free.)
Giant Spidersilk - 25 denarii.
Mountain Troll - 500 denarii for armor/350 for a shield. (Having a mountain troll hide allows a character to exchange it for 150 denarii towards the cost. This can be done multiple times, but cannot reduce the cost below 0 denarii.)
Giant Hide - 110 denarii. (Having a giant hide allows a character to exchange it for 75 denarii towards the cost. This can be done multiple times, but cannot reduce the cost below 0 denarii.)
Chameleon Skin - 35 denarii. (Can trade a chameleon skin to get this for free.)
Darksteel - 150 for a weapon or shield/350 denarii for armor. (30 for weapons/shields and 50 for armor for Full Blooded Demon characters.)
Dragon - 225 for a weapon or a shield/520 denarii for armor. (Having a dragon's scale for armor or a dragon's claw/fang for weapons allows a character to exchange it for 150 denarii towards the cost. This can be done multiple times, but cannot reduce the cost below 0 denarii.)
Daemonmetal - Special*
Cold Iron - 30 denarii for a weapon or shield/60 for armor.
Angelforged - 100 denarii for a weapon or shield/200 for armor. (20 for weapons and 40 for armor for Angel characters.)

Re: DG3.5 Character Creation Thread

Rituals
Part 1
General Ritual rules:
A ritual is a special action that a character can take. They can never be started while the character is in combat, and usually have much more potent effects than a character could normally achieve. Any character can perform a ritual so long as they meet the requirements for it and can afford the costs.

A ritual that is interrupted (the one performing it is distracted for at least one whole round) automatically fails unless it is picked back up within 3 rounds. Picking up a ritual that has been interrupted requires that the one making the attempt make a DC 40 Caster check. Energy used during rituals is spent over time, and as such is not affected by the character’s Spirit Ceiling and deals no damage unless the ritual states as such explicitly.

The Ritual Template, helpful for suggestions:

Ritual Name
Ritual Cost:
Ritual Time:
Ritual Requirements:
Description:


~~~~~~~~~​

Animate Dead
Ritual Cost: 10 denarii, 10 EP
Ritual Time: 1 hour
Ritual Requirements: a reasonably intact dead body, the Animate Spirit Power OR Focus in Entropy OR Focus in Aether
Description: Permanently animate a dead body as a zombie servant. The animated creature lasts until it is destroyed, and otherwise functions identically to how it would if raised by the Animate Spirit power. In addition, the following additions can be made to the zombie for the following prices:
+12 denarii and +10 EP can give the zombie DR 1/2
+8 denarii and +10 EP can give the zombie a +10 bonus to Body, a single Warrior Talent, or can allow a manufactured weapon to be grafted to the zombie's body permanently.
All costs (including optional ones) for this Ritual are halved for those with the Reanimator Mage Feat.


Anthropomorphization
Ritual Cost: 150 Denarii or one sacrifice, 14 EP+
Ritual Time: 10 hours
Ritual Requirements: Warp Shell Spirit Power, A living non-humanoid target who is either willing or helpless.
Description: The target will gain the Special Mutation Anthropomorphized, and become humanoid. For each 2 feet of difference in size (Width and Height) the cost will increase in EP by 2. Furthermore, the target will suffer a body/2 penalty to their body stat for a full week as they adjust to their new form. This does not affect their HP stat as a consequence, which will remain the same. If the target had no gender, or used a non-humanoid form of reproduction, they will receive a gender at the GM's discretion, as well as human reproductive compatibility. If the target was non-sentient before the ritual, they will suffer a Mind/2 penalty to their Mind stat until they are adjusted to sentient humanoid life(At the GM's discretion), which is generally accomplished through a mentor or teacher.


Arcane Shield
Ritual Cost: 20 EP
Ritual Time: 10 minutes
Ritual Requirements: Able to cast at least 3rd level spells in any element.
Description: The caster creates a magical barrier around themselves, preventing their active magical and spiritual effects from being dispelled, and also providing some limited protection from counterspells. Creatures with an active Arcane Shield gain a +10 bonus to Resistance against attempts to counter or dispel their spells and powers them for as long as it remains active, and in addition, the first successful attempt to dispel an active effect on the creature ignores the targeted effect (and all others if the dispel effect would remove multiple ones) and instead removes the Arcane Shield. The Resistance check to dispel this is made against the caster, not the creature with the active shield. A character maintaining an active Arcane Shield does not regenerate EP until it is deactivated, and it automatically falls if the caster loses consciousness, but it does not take up an upkeep slot.


Bind Demon
Ritual Cost: 10 denarii, plus an additional amount dependent on the tier of demon being bound.
Ritual Time: 1 hour per tier
Ritual Requirements: Focus in Entropy OR Focus in Arcane OR the Summon Demon Spirit Power
Description: Permanently bind a demon to your service. For an idea of what demons can be called upon, see the Summon Demon Spirit Power. Creatures bound in this manner are permanent servants of the caster until they release them from service or they manage to break free of the caster’s control. Each demon has additional costs and requirements dependent on that creature’s Tier.
-Tier 1 demons have no additional costs or requirements associated with them.
-Tier 2 demons cost an additional 20 denarii, and the character must win a Resistance check against the creature when it is summoned or it will immediately break free of the caster’s control.
-Tier 3 demons cost an additional 90 denarii or one sacrifice, and the caster must give them a task that is to their liking or win a Resistance check against them whenever attempting to give them an order or they will break free of the caster’s control. Demeaning tasks will give the demon bonuses to their check.
-Tier 4 demons cost an additional 130 denarii or one sacrifice, and the character must win a Resistance check against the creature when it is summoned or it will immediately break free of the caster’s control. In addition, the caster must give them a task that is to their liking or win a Resistance check against them whenever attempting to give them an order or they will break free of the caster’s control.
Creatures bound with this ritual are treated like summoned creatures so long as they remain under the character’s control, but they have no duration and die permanently if killed. Bound demons cannot disobey their controller's orders, acting as if they were under a Dominated effect, but they get Resistance checks to resist orders that they would naturally be against obeying.


Blizzard
Ritual Cost: 10 EP
Ritual Time: 1 hour (1 minute with a sacrifice or at 6x the cost)
Ritual Requirements: Focus in Water OR Boreal
Description: The caster manipulates local weather, conjuring a powerful blizzard that covers a massive geographic area. This blizzard lasts for a full day unless dispelled, and creatures caught outside in it take 4 Cold damage per round that ignores all AV and take a -8 penalty to Perception and Speed. In addition, the effective level of spells that deal Cold damage is increased by one while within the area of the Blizzard, and the effective X value of damage dealing Boreal powers is increased by 3.


Blood Sacrifice
Ritual Cost: One sacrificial victim who must be intelligent.
Ritual Time: 10 minutes of preparation time.
Ritual Requirements: The character has the Blood Magic metamagic feat and Focus in Entropy Talent or the Focus in Fire Talent.
Description: Sacrifice a victim to increase your own personal power, or to provide the energy needed for another ritual. Other rituals may have costs listed or optional additions to make the ritual more powerful with a Blood Sacrifice. Sacrificing a victim for personal power grants the character a permanent +10 bonus to any one primary stat, but each primary stat can only be increased once with this ritual. In addition, a Blood Sacrifice can be used to replace up to 200 denarii worth of reagents for any other ritual, or it can be used to increase the time that the effects of the ritual last by one step (hours to day, days to weeks, ect) or to decrease the time that it takes to perform the ritual by one step (hours to minutes, minutes to seconds, ect.) Performing this ritual leaves a mark on the user that can be discerned by powerful creatures or spirit wielders.


Brainwashing
Ritual Cost: Enough food to feed the character and their victim. Proper bindings.
Ritual Time: No Less than 1 Week (depends on the subject)
Ritual Requirements: Mind Worm
Description: Gradually and methodically rewrite part of a creature's memory via repeated mental tampering. The one week cost is generally what's needed in order to rewrite the mind of a young adult with no exceptional abilities. More powerful creatures will take longer, and the attempt may fail entirely.


Contraception Ritual
Ritual Cost: 20 denarii or 8 hours to gather the ingredients.
Ritual Time: 20 minutes.
Ritual Requirements: Healer talent.
Description: The caster performs this ritual on themselves, a willing patient, or a helpless target. If the target is fertile, their/their partner's pregnancy chance dice is changed to 1d20 and pregnancy occurs on a result of 20 whenever a roll would be made for the next caster's mind/10 hours. If the target has neither fertile nor infertile, they are treated as being infertile for the next caster's mind/10 days.


Control Weather
Ritual Cost: 10 EP
Ritual Time: 1 hour (1 minute with a sacrifice or at 6x the cost)
Ritual Requirements: Focus in Nature
Description: The caster takes control of the weather in a local area, allowing them to replicate the effects of the Rainstorm, Thunderstorm, Blizzard and Hurricane rituals, or to dispel any of those rituals.


Corruption Purge
Ritual Cost: 10 denarii, 10 EP.
Ritual Time: 1 Hour
Ritual Requirements: Druid
Description: The caster purges themselves of all corruption, resetting their corruption to 0. This cannot remove existing mutations, however. Spending 100 denarii and 30 EP and extending the ritual time to 3 hours, the character may select one mutation that they have, and have that mutation to not count towards their counter to Warped/Supernatural.


Craft Collar
Ritual Cost: One suitable item (usually a collar and usually at a cost of 20 denarii)
Ritual Time: 1 hour.
Ritual Requirements: Focus in Arcane talent -or- the Alchemist talent -or- the ability to use the Seal spirit power -or- the Dedicated Witch Hunter skill.
Description: Creates an item capable of sealing away a wearer's magical and spiritual powers. When the character has the item they wish to turn into a sealing item, they spend an hour enchanting it to become a sealing item, at which point it seals any wearer at a DC equal to the caster's base Resistance. The DC may be given a bonus of +10 for each item of faerie's blood or demon's blood or 70 denarii of other materials used during its creation, and characters with the Enchanter feat double that bonus to +20. The DC may also be increased by sacrificing a character for a bonus equal to that character's Resistance if the crafting character has the blood magic feat. Character with the Blacksmith Skill may craft their own sealing item for half of whatever the merchant price would have been. In addition, the sealing item may be crafted with cold iron for an additional 50 denarii, lowering its DC by 5 but causing any warped or supernatural creatures to gain an instance of weakened while wearing it, or angelforged metal for 40 denarii, causing it to do nothing against "pure" characters (including seal them) but works as normal and the wearer gains an instance of weakened if they're warped, two if they're supernatural, and an additional instance if they're corruptive.
Obedience collars follow similar rules, but their initial cost is an additional 10 denarii and the bonus granted by blood or coin is reduced to +8, or +16 for characters with Enchanter. Obedience collars may be crafted to do the same as a sealing collar at no extra cost, but their primary function is to treat the wearer as if they were enthralled and dominated by anyone keyed to the collar.

The kitsune loses the tail containing the soul at the moment of conception, as well as all bonuses gained from that tail. They cannot lose their original tail.

Ritual Requirements: Focus in Lightning

Ritual Requirements: See create potion

Any creature who drinks the potion will take 6+4d6 resistance damage whenever they're around the person (or persons) whose essence was used in the creation of the potion, gaining the aroused status when they reach 0 resistance, at which point the resistance damage will continue, inflicting the horny status if they reach 0 resistance again. This effect will last until they've had sex with the target or until a day has passed. Drinking a potion mixed with one’s own essence has no effect and wastes the potion.


Miraculous Regeneration
Ritual Cost: EP cost dependent on the severity of the injury
Ritual Time: 2 hours, 1 minute with a sacrifice or an angel's feather
Ritual Requirements: Focus in Body, Physician Feat, Healer Talent, and a willing and conscious patient
Description: Attempts to reform a target's missing body parts. The caster must make casting checks against a DC and expend EP in order to successfully replace the desired parts, if the caster fails a casting check then the target must make a Resistance check against a DC in order to avoid passing out or expiring depending on the severity of the injury. The DC and EP expenditures are as follows:
- A "minor" injury (a severed finger, a missing toe): 20 DC, 30 EP.
- A major injury (a severed leg, a missing arm): 40 DC, 50 EP.
- A mortal injury (I have no idea where this person's lower body is): 60 DC, 80 EP.
The DC check is made six times. If both the caster and the target fail three times, the target passes out due to agony and all progress made in the ritual is lost. If the caster and the target fail by 10 or more three times, or 20 or more once, then the target dies instantly. The EP expenditure may be spread out over several rituals, spanning multiple days, as long as the checks aren't failed more than twice. Note: The character attempting this ritual gains the bonus to casting from the focus in Body Talent.
In addition, if the limb to be restored is reasonably intact and at hand, decrease the DC of each of those by 10 and decrease the EP cost by 20.
Alternatively, an angel of at least 50 years of age may use their feather's power for the month while using this ritual. If they do, they may automatically complete this ritual if used for the first or second type, or only need to succeed at the DC of the first if attempting the third. A character with an angel's feather may spend it to reduce the DC of this rituals to the next lower step, making it an automatic success if used for the first type, use the DC of the first type if the second type is being attempted, or the DC of the second type if the third type is being attempted.


Permanent Machine
Ritual Cost: 10 denarii, X EP, spare parts to make the contraption
Ritual Time: 1 hour
Ritual Requirements: Assemble Contraption
Description: The character gives semi-permanent life to one of their contraptions. This ability functions similarly to the normal use of Assemble Contraption in terms of the stats of the creature as decided by the X input, but lasts much longer than a single activation of the power. The assembled contraption lasts so long as the character maintains it, requiring that they pay EP to keep it charged. The "battery" of the contraption lasts for up to 3 days, can be charged up to full at any time, and is divided into days. Paying 1/3 of the X cost of the contraption once per day is the recommended recharge rate. Any creature with the ability to use magic, spirit powers, or succubus powers can recharge the contraption's battery.

Each creature may only be raised from the dead once, ever. Any damage to the body is automatically repaired as part of this ritual, and the raised creature comes back to full HP, PP and EP. An angel of 50 years or older may spend their feather for the month to use this ritual without spending 8 hours to do it, but only on a subject that has been dead for less than an hour.


Safety Zone
Ritual Cost: 25 denarii
Ritual Time: 10 minutes
Ritual Requirements: Focus in Force
Description: Creates a larger and longer lasting force barrier. It can be of a size up to the caster's mind/10 * 6 feet in diameter. Anyone or anything attempting to pass through it must win a Resistance check against the caster, where-in the caster's resistance gains a +20 bonus, or be unable to do so. This lasts up to the caster's mind/10 in hours or until dismissed.


Seal Spirit
Ritual Cost: Depends on the creature being sealed away. Contact your GM. Always requires some object to seal the creature into.
Ritual Time: Also depends on the creature being sealed. A minor creature might take 5 minutes, a major one an upwards of an hour, where-as a powerful daemon might take several hours to seal. Contact your GM.
Ritual Requirements: Ability to use the Seal Spirit Power OR Focus in Arcane
Description: Seals away a spirit or a innately magical (warped, supernatural, etc.) character into an enchanted item, trapping them inside their physical container until it's broken or they're otherwise released from the outside. In order to trap the target, the caster must make a series of resistance checks against the target in order to seal them away, the number of which depends on the power of the target being sealed. The character may bolster their own resistance with spells or powers as per normal, or by a bonus of 6 per faerie's/demon's blood that they imbibe for the ritual, or they may sacrifice creatures in order to add their resistance bonus to the caster's for the purpose of the check if they have blood magic. The amount of denarii spent determines the quality of the container the target is trapped inside.


Self-Sufficient Illusions
Ritual Cost: 10 denarii
Ritual Time: 5 minutes
Ritual Requirements: Focus in Light, Mana Sculpter Feat
Description: Creates illusions capable of moving far distances without the caster's direct focus. Once given directions, the illusions will follow them out to the letter and then either return to the caster or disappear. These illusions are not very believable, often clipping through misremembered terrain and such while away from their caster and require only a resistance +10 check against the caster to disbelieve, but are capable of delivering basic messages. EP is required based on the task that the caster has in mind for the illusions, if they want them to succeed.

Ritual Cost: 100 denarii
Ritual Time: 2 hours
Ritual Requirements: Focus in Light, Mana Sculptor Feat, and a small piece of the creature to be copied

Ritual Cost: Nothing.
Ritual Time: Ten minutes plus the amount of time spent to rape the victim.
Ritual Requirements: A victim reduced to 0 EP (preferably through rape) and a slime. The character performing this Ritual must have the Malleable Form Special Mutation.
Description: The character, a slime, can transform a victim into one of their own. Upon reducing a victim to 0 EP, they can start enacting this Ritual, at which point the victim must beat them at a Resistance check (with their normal unbuffed and undamaged Resistance) or have this Ritual start to take effect. The slime promptly releases the character, as they no longer need to do anything to their victim, and their body begins to melt as the shredded remains of their soul are infused with the slime's magic. Over the course of ten minutes, the character's body and spirit transform into those of a slime, immediately removing their former racial features entirely and replacing them with those of the Living Slime race. Their memories are damaged irrecoverably by this process, leaving them as a shell of their former selves, and their personal desires are replaced by the natural needs of a slime. They rise at the completion of this ritual as a slime at 1/2 of its maximum EP. This ritual can only be interrupted by an infusion of EP equal to the character's maximum EP from someone that they know intimately.


Soul Synthesis
Ritual Cost: None
Ritual Time: 1 hour
Ritual Requirements: Focus in Entropy OR Call Spirit, A spirit willing to bind to a host, and a host to be bound to.
Description: Forcibly binds another soul in a singular mortal vessel and effectively changes the victim into a vampire, granting the Vampire Template if the soul was that of a sentient creature and the Lycanthrope Template if it was the soul of a beast. The host of the ritual must make a DC 35 Resistance check to not outright die from the pain of having a soul forcibly spliced into their own. Should the host survive, the host must then make a contested Resistance check against the spirit to retain free will or otherwise be overridden/overtaken by the spirit. This check is repeated on a weekly basis, in which the host or intruding spirit, should they have failed the check previously, may choose to vie for control over the body. If either soul wins for 3 weeks in a row, they have assumed complete control of their Body, and the other soul is effectively destroyed irrecoverably.


Spiritual Disruption Field
Ritual Cost: 50 denarii
Ritual Time: 30 minutes.
Ritual Requirements: Focus in Arcane, Countermage Feat
Description: Creates a stationary field centered on the caster that fills the room that the caster is in or, if used outdoors or in a very large area, is mind/10 * 3 feet in diameter. Any creature that attempts to cast a spell or use any ability that costs EP while inside of the field must win a Resistance check versus the caster, in which the caster receives a +20 bonus, or have the attempt fail. This field lasts mind/10 hours or until dismissed by the caster. Spells and powers that are already in effect upon entering the field remain so. The area of effect can be doubled by spending 10 EP to use the ritual.


Summon Shadow Man
Ritual Cost: 100 denarii -or- a graveyard -or- a sacrifice.
Ritual Time: 10 minutes.
Ritual Requirements: Focus in Entropy, a place with low lights but bright enough to cast a shadow
Description: Summons (or creates) a malicious spirit which takes hold of the caster's shadow, leaving them without one. This shadow person may move around freely as a normal creature would. It has a Body stat equal to that of the Mind of its caster (or any number lesser than that, if the caster so desires). In addition, it gains +20 to stealth, has 4x hard to hit and 1x stealthy talents, has the Natural Attack and Daylight Weakness mutations, has the Shadowstalker and Dark Armor powers, and takes 1/2 damage from all non-magic sources. It lasts permanently or until dismissed. Once every 24 hours, it may attempt to unbind itself from the caster and escape, which requires it to win a Resistance check versus the caster. If it attempts to escape while the caster is at or below 1/2 HP, it gains a +10 bonus to this check, at 1/4th or below HP it gains a +15 bonus.


Tempest
Ritual Cost: 10 EP
Ritual Time: 1 hour (1 minute with a sacrifice or at 6x the cost)
Ritual Requirements: Focus in Wind AND Focus in Lightning
Description: The caster manipulates local weather, summoning a tremendous storm over a very large area. This storm lasts for a day unless dispelled, and creatures caught outside in it take a -8 penalty to Speed and Perception, and must win a Resistance check against the caster or be knocked Prone and take 10 damage. In addition, the caster may, at any time, concentrate on the storm and spend 4 EP. Doing so allows them to call down one Hellblast, as the spell.


Traveling Winds
Ritual Cost: 10EP per Passenger
Ritual Time: 10 Minutes
Ritual Requirements: Focus in Wind
Description: Infuse a light object with wind magic granting it temporal flight for traveling purposes. Large objects take more EP and time to infuse. Infused objects moves at a speed of 60 miles per hour. Lasts Mind/10 Hours.


Voodoo Doll
Ritual Cost: 10 denarii
Ritual Time: 2 hours to craft the doll, and another 2 to enchant it.
Ritual Requirements: Focus in Entropy, a small body part of one creature(blood, hair, ect)
Description: Create a magical puppet attached to any one creature. The caster may attack this doll, causing an amount of damage to the connected creature equal to the damage caused to the doll. The creature may make a Resistance check against the caster to halve the damage, but the only way for the creature to free themselves is to destroy the doll.


Ward
Ritual Cost: depends on target size and strength of ward.
Ritual Time: depends on target size.
Ritual Requirements: Focus in arcane, familiarity with the region to be warded.
The caster walks slowly around a region three times. The first time they scatter a reagent to make a physical barrier. The second time they drain energy to make a spiritual barrier. The third time they fix the barrier in their mind to make a mental barrier.
The caster chooses the effects. They can prevent spells by any combination of caster, school, level, and specific spell, or they can prevent entry of spirits. The strength of the effect determines the material and EP cost, and combining multiple effects drastically increases. The most basic spell might use ash and no EP, but would only warn the caster when the ward was violated. The most advanced might be a nearly inviolable barrier against magic, but would require diamond dust and would leave the caster drained after warding only a small room. The barrier lasts for a number of days equal to the caster's mind/10 or until dispelled.
Many cities have wards that at least warn when a portal is being opened within their limits, but actually preventing magic is impractical.


Waterfall Meditation
Ritual Cost: 10 denarii
Ritual Time: 15 minutes
Ritual Requirements: Focus in Water, Borealcaster feat
Description: Caster may choose to expend any amount of EP on a target that is either willing or bound and helpless, the amount of EP spent is set as a DC. The target makes a 1d20 + resistance check against the DC, if they succeed they remove corruption equal to their roll result. If they fail, no corruption is lost and the EP and denarii is wasted.


Wilderheart Brew
Ritual Cost: 50 Denarii's worth of ingredients or 8 hours of gathering ingredients in a forest per dose
Ritual Time: 1 Hour for brewing, and an additional 4 hours for making the markings(per transformee)
Ritual Requirements: Druidic Secrets, a willing person with a base race that allows the Wildheart Template
Description: The character gathers necessary ingredients followed by concocting them, and once the brew is finished he uses a part of it to inscribe markings or tattoos on the transformees body, to mark them as a vessel for the spirit animal. Once the markings are complete, the rest of the dose is ingested by the transformee, drawing a spirit animal that bonds with them. As the bond is completed, the markings remain a permanent, and will regrow if removal is attempted. The kind of spirit animal that bonds depends on the character or the GMs decision, but it usually "fits" with the character in some way.


Zone of Truth
Ritual Cost: 20 EP.
Ritual Time: 1 minute
Ritual Requirements: Focus in Arcane
Description: Fills an area designated by the caster with a field that last until the caster dismisses it or Mind/10 hours.
