== Creating Adventurers

Each player should begin play with TWO adventurers. Both adventurers should be
created by following these steps.

=== {counter:creation}. Skills

Adventurers have the following skills

|===
//--------------|---------------------------------------------------------
| Awareness     | Attention, Alertness, Perception, Comprehension, Insight
| Grit          | Toughness Strength, Willpower
| Knowledge     | History, Geography, Lore
| Magic         | Using wands, scrolls, and magical artifacts
| Melee Combat  | Attacking nearby opponents
| Ranged Combat | Attacking opponents at range
| Skulduggery   | Stealth, deception
//--------------|---------------------------------------------------------
|===

For each skill, roll 1d6, add 6, and assign that value to the skill. Each skill
should now have a score between 7 and 12.

TIP: The skill scores are likely to change before you're done creating the adventurer,
so write them on a piece of paper rather than on the adventurer's sheet for now.


[sidebar]
.Raising and Reducing Skills
--
Your <<ancestry>>, <<foundation>>, and other factors can change your skills.
Keep an eye out for the words _increase_ and _reduce_, as they have special
meaning.

* Raising a skill cannot lower it; for instance, if your Skulduggery is 12, and
  your ancestry, foundation, etc. _raises_ it to 10, then nothing happens.
* Reducing a skill cannot increase it; for instance, if your  Grit is 4 and
  your ancestry, foundation, etc. _reduces_ it to 6, nothing happens.
--

[[ancestry,ancestry]]
=== {counter:creation}. Ancestry

All adventurers are human. However, the adventurers blessing may have triggered
some ancient dormant blood from distant nonhuman ancestors.

Ancestries have some effects now, but they also allow you to access certain
Perks when you level up later on.

In order to be able to use one of the weird weapons on this list, an adventurer
must have a <<foundation>> or <<perks,perk>> that gives them the specific
proficiency that allows them to use that specific weapon. For instance, an
adventurer who has the "Kosh" proficiency use koshes, but not any of
the other weird weapons.

[[perks,perks]]
== Perks
This chapter is not for

* Racial.
** There should be a racial perk tree that can be unlocked. Only adventurers
   can access the blood of the ancients (elf, dwarf, etc.)
** No races should get dark vision unless they are at MAX level.
** Dwarves should get an extra item slot (possibly more if you take this perk
   multiple times).
** Dwarves are good in dungeons (know cardinal directions, head-map, ability to
   "smell" metals and ores).
** Elves are good on the surface (navigating by stars, being difficult to
   surprise, requiring less sleep).
** Gnomes???
** Primordials/primals (ancient humans)
** Prim((anus))
* Monstrous Gourmand.
* Unlock medium (and later on heavy) armor.
* Unlock Special Effects for common melee weapons.
* Exotic Weapon Perk Tree
** Initially you get access to a "simple" exotic weapon.
** Later on you can use certain two-handed weapons in one hand.
* Multi-attack if you roll higher than X. Possibly play into what happens when
  attack skill is higher than MAX TN.

== Gear

* Weapons
** Melee Weapons
** Ranged Weapons
** Special Weapons??
*** Bolas
*** Kosh
*** Spiked Chain
*** Meteor Hammer
*** Bastard Sword (can be used one handed if adventurer has the right perk)
* Armors
* Misc
** Food
** Dungeon Spelunking Gear
** Wilderness Survival Gear
** Transport, Wagons, Beasts
* Valuables
** Coins
** Gems
** Misc (art, etc.)

== Campaign
* Map
** The world should be weird and funny, but not ridiculous.
** ShipWorld: the world, when seen from above, looks like the outline of a
   ship, that's seen from above. But instead of being made of wooden planks,
   there is real terrain and flora. But there should/could be elevation changes
   where the different decks (such as the Poop Deck) are.
*** What's around the ship?
*** What happens if you dig?
*** Can dungeons reach into the inner hull/decks of the ship?
** DeadWorld: Maybe the world is the surface of some gigantic dead creature.
*** What's around the creature?
*** What happens if you dig?
*** Do dungeons reach into the inner parts of the corpse? Like the brain?
** FloorWorld: The world is the floor of a mage's study. She accidentally
   created this world, but destroyed everything else.
* Cities and Towns
** Capita (the Capital)
* Prominent People
** Master Baator
** Richard Tator (dictator)
** Laika Bors
* History

== Doom Manager's Rules
* Advancement
** XP for killing Monsters.
** XP for uncovering Secret Knowledge and Locations.
** XP for spending money.
** XP for spending carousing.

* Adventuring
** Splitting the party: It is a viable strategy to split the party, and send in
   a sacrificial team in advance - but the GM can and should require that each
   present player send in one of their adventurers so that all players are
   engaged at the same time.

== Spells
* A note on which types of magical artifacts can carry spells (wands, books,
  and reusable scrolls).
* Alphabetized list of spells
* One spell = One page (a5) - but very special spells (like Wish) may take up
  two pages, but keep in mind that the two pages must still be arranged
  prettily.

== Magical Items
* Magical Weapons
* Magical Armors
* Special Wands/Scrolls/Books
* Wondrous Items
** Naïvitea (tea that makes you blonde)

== Monsters
* One page = one (typical) baddy.
* Baddies should have special TWISTS. When spawning baddies, the DM should roll
  random TWISTS for each baddy or group of baddies.
* Monsters
** Mandag: a really bad male hag
** Halvbitter: more badass than Djinn
** Gooblin
** Cowlbear (a bear in a cowl?)
