That means that I really shouldn't put any more points in Endurance. Or this would end hilariously bad.



All the bonus is aplied to result of the roll, not to the roll itself.

Example:

Mook A punches Mook B in the face.
a)STR roll = 5 + 3
  Mook A crushes Mooks B head with the punch.
b)STR roll = 6 + 3
  Mook A crushes Mooks B head with the punch. Three of Mooks A fingers were broken by the froce of the punch.


You don't need to worry about that. Yes, that has been there since the game began.

Your overshot got the axe stuck. If it was 5, axe would had bounced off bone, at 4 it would had cut into bone but not got stuck.

Tired of the lack of action, head back towards Shipwreck Lake, with the firefox Irus following.

Leo, seeking entertainment, traveled southwest while observing god complex aflicted firefox. It seemed content for now with seting whatever was left of chared forest on fire.

James annoyed by constant ichyness, fashioned a spell to purge the poison. In a rather violent and painfull way, poison exited James' body in a puf of steam from every pore. While no real damage was done, James sucumbed to pain and fell down, only slightly relieved by the fact that pain was quicly fading away.

Head to the castle and attempt to grow plants over the entryway, after grabbing the healing fruit.

While the castle certainly looked old, it bore no signs of being here for a long time. No moss on the walls, no trees in the courtyard, no vines in the rooms, nothing! Well, Isaac just couldn't allow it. He wove a spell, wispered upon a seed and threw it all in the entryway. Resulting semingly mowed lawn of grass
 was less than spectacular, but it was a start.

David was not about just stay here and accept his luck wanting him to be a plant. He would not just bend over and take it. Such and simmiliar phrases David murmured while painting a few runes over his own chest. With an angry shout he cast the spell and flew out of the ground like a bullet, pieces of dirt lying aside. He rose out of the ground, then out of the pit, and then a meter or so further, before spell ended and David fell like a rock back in the pit. Ground was soft after being losened by previous spells, but the fall still knocked wind out of Davids lungs. Mabye he would take this one lying down just this one time.

A single steel wheel, size of an bottle cap apeared before Jase. As he picked up the result of a failed summon, he discovered that it had surprisingly sharp edges. Cursing, newbie summoner threw away his creation and silently considered summoning a band-aid next.

Transform the chair's legs into wheels.
Ha. Ha. Ha... Now I'm really mad.

Silently, Whaz goes through the castle, axe in hands - somehow, now he believed this darkened steel more than his own magic.

Kirby did not give up on his dreams of mobility, despite some man trying to kill him. That guy did not seem competent enough to do the job. "Though, he might just be having a string of bad luck same as I" thought the round mage to himself as his hands turned into wheels.

Ryan, angered and confused by Kirbys antics, prepeared another fireball, pouring massive quantities of power into this one. But in his anger, he failed to direct the spell and the fireball that was meant for the round mage leaked back in pyromancers hand, overflowing them with fire energies. In a flash of light, both of Ryans hands turned into ever burning charcoal. He fell aside screaming in pain, just as Whaz whizzed past him.

Whaz was out for blood; he had a very deadly axe, his mind burned with anger of failed spells, his eyes were looking for something to kill. Just as he ran through casttle corridors looking for prey, is ears caught a scream comming from just around the corner. With a grin, Whaz rushed forward, as he looked through a doorway, a most pleasant sight visited his eyes. That ball shaped mage, half deformed half chained, all helpless. With a might roar and a mightyer leap Whaz cleared distance to the throne, his axe flying in a terrifying overhead arc. Whaz struc true, his weapon smashed apart bone, cleaved through the brain and pink mage was no more. But in his mighty charge, Whaz overestimated his ability to stop, his feet skid across the floor, and he fell upon the very same axe that killed Kirby. Shadow mage cried out in anger and pain as axe that he held just a second ago was now firmly stuck in his sternum.

Crimson went deeper in his unconciousness, towards where he would usualy only go in his sleep. There, he met a

Isaac once again tried to grow the elusive medical plant that bore healing fruit. He wove the spell with skill and power, his magic bore into the ground, and outwards bursted a small tree, all entirely green, with a single pink fruit.

David, angered by his recent failures, lashed out with another spell. His anger fuelled the power, but clouded his mind. Once again, David found the horizon rising as the pit in which he stood gained depth. Dirt walls around him reached almost three meters in height now. "Well this can't get any worse" David exclaimed, and right after his words, brittle dirt that formed the walls around him collapsed inwards, trapping David up to his waist.

Jase, faced with unknown and alien landscape, chose to examine his surrounding without any quick moves, as not to anger leathery grass that grew under his feet. He focused search spell, and was almost overwhelmed by the amount of information that washed over him. The spell informed him of every blade of grass and every particle of dirt that surrounded him. Jase barely managed to cut the spell before it caused permanent damage. As mage was recovering from information influx, he heard a echoing voice from behind.

As Jase turns around, he is greeted by three humanoid figures, slightly over 2m tall, looking like lean cthulhu's in robes. They stretched out their hands forward, and aethermancer is overcome with visions of mysterious magical powers that were used to make this plane. After Jase woke up, the cthulhu trio were gone, and Jase remembered new spells, he had never known before.

Tentatively put a shard into the altar, to see what happens.

LUCK [4]

Leo inserted one of his soul shards into the magma altar and stepped back as magma formed in a small vulpine being. The creature looked at Leo intensely; scanning him with what would had been eyes on a flesh being. Just as silence was becoming uncomfortable, the fox being spoke to Leo.

I am the spirit of this temple, and I sense your atunment to the flame. My worshipers all disappeared, and I was left alone and powerless. But you have found my temple, you have raised me from my slumber, and I have judged you worthy of becoming my prophet in this land. I sense combat in your plans, so I shall help you. Though a single worshiper is not enough to sate my hunger, before you bring my voice to heathens I shall require extra sustenance, I desire souls to devour. But you need not fear, for my subjects are safe from my hunger, and there are none that would be able to oppose me, the great Irus!

Wake up then try to meditate to alleviate the pain.

James quickly whipped up a minor healing spell to deal with damage he had sustained. Tiny wounds through which the jellyfish poison had entered his bloodstream closed up, forcing poison that lingered in the wounds to enter James' bloodstream. Now his whole body was itchy.

Kirby, giving up on turning his body back into flesh and blood he was used to, tried to gain some mobility instead. Well, if he was able to use his legs, those roller-skates that grew out of his feet would be real useful.

"Screw it, last try" exclaimed Whaz as he tried to conjure a cloak of shadows. He could feel the spell crumble away before it even finished. It was not a good day for the dark team.

LUCK [7]

Ryan, deciding that it was about time somebody died here, infiltrated the castle in which a few mages resided, or at least he remembered a few running this way at the start. And where else they could be if not the throne room. Treasury would be a viable option, but throne room was as good place as any, and Ryan had to start somewhere. Today he was in luck. Throne room proved to be easy to find, and the opponent that was there could have hardly been more crippled. Chained to a massive and heavy golden throne, with limbs transformed into the same heavy metal. Truly, a target more immobile and helpless was hard to imagine.

Grinning, Ryan conjured a flame to incinerate this hapless mage, only for it to explode in his hand, burning off some of Ryan's hair and setting all nearby torches aflame.

You know Starcraft? You are standing in zerg-ish grass. It may or may not try to eat you. Stars are empty space, whole map is surounded by it, you can push people off the map so that they would fall to their doom. Also, that is not snow.

David tried once again, he carved his runes upon the ground, and focused his power upon them, trying to create containers of some description. He focused, both his talent and power, limiting outside disturbance by closing his eyes. When David looked around again, he found himself standing in a pit, roughly a meter deep.

LUCK [5]

There were times, when caution was advised. Usualy, those times and discovery of things that you have no idea how to operate are the same. Jase had decided that this was not such ocasion. He crushed all of his power shards on the portal, and stood back to enjoy what he had brought upon this land. A large oval apeared above the portal, cracling with energy colected from the shards that were crushed. With a loud tearing noise, fabric of reality reality within the ofal was riped away, revealing pasageway to other worlds. But the immage that was within the oval kept changing. A frozen wasteland. A lush jungle. Mountains of tiny rubies, piled up into hills, as if they were sand. Insides of a clockwork mechanism. Oval that limited the portal began to waver, and then collapsed. Mountain that contained the cave was blown away as if it was pile of sand in a huricane. When Jase came back to his senses, he noticed that surounding lands had drasticly changed.

James sets out on a trip to find something usefull among the shipwreck, as a mysterious box off in the watter claims his attention. James wades through the watter, it almost reaching his head and grabs the box. A brief look later the box turns out to be entirely empty. As James wades back towards the shore, he is surprised by sharp pain on his left leg. As he looks, he notices that it was a jelly fish that stung him. And that it wasn't alone. As James runs towards the shore, his legs get stung several more times, though as James is a decent healer who has dealt with many beasts, this hardly phases him.

You could easily cut out the part of conjuring a fire every time by carying something aflame with you. Say, a branch from that half burned forrest your character just left. And one thing fire is very good at is killing people, which is kinda the main thing I thought would be done in this game. You start with enough shards to get another afinity after a single kill no matter how many shards the person you killed had. And there are all kinds of magical fires that cause bullshit to happen, though no controling "hot" things, as anything burns when temperature is great enough. Giving you that would efectively give you control over all that is (and isin't) with a single -1 mod.

Swipe my hand and amplify the force imparted in the air to generate wind (-1) in order to blow away the bees around me.

See, this is what I would call smart casting. If you were doing this saying "control wind, as wind is created by force" or something, you would had gained a penalty there. But since you are manipulating a force that is already there, no penalty for you. You retain your natural +1 for the cast.
