Heroes and Heroines Live Action Roleplaying Club Rules Errata and Changes

This page contains a list of changes to the rules which have not been implemented into the main rule books yet, but which are considered to be 'in play' - You can safely assume that these rules override those in the books.

WORLD EFFECTS

These are things that are in effect either temporarily or permanently as a result of plot actions

Potions

  • Due to irrevokeable damage to the herb gardens of Hopton Dale, the range of Potions both generally available at the merchant Venturers and for Mistwalkers is as follows:
    • Blade Venom 1 - 2 
    • Strength 
    • Cure Total 1 - 2
    • Remove Disease
    • Pain
    • Dexterity 1 - 2

SPELL AND INVOCATION DURATIONS

  • All spells, invocations and effects which have a POSITIVE effect on a character (ie spells which are voluntary) have a base duration of 15 minutes.
  • All spells, invocations and effects which have a NEGATIVE effect on a character (ie spells which are involuntary) have a base duration of 5 minutes.
  • Exceptions to these durations will be kept to an absolute minimum, but where a spell, invocation or effect has a duration which is other than the above, its duration must be called when released e.g. "Freeze! 10 seconds!".
  • Regenerating Power: If a character is reduced to zero power, the first point of power takes 5 minutes to regenerate (rather than the usual 15 minutes) - This serves to bring Power Drain inline with other negative invocations inasmuch as it only has a 5 minute negative effect.

Meditate and Mnemonic

Base time of Meditate and Mnemonic reduced to 20 minutes (From 30 minutes)

Meditate & Mnemonic Expertise reduced to rank 30 minimum rank and it now reduces meditate/mnemonic time by 5 minutes (From rank 60 and reducing by 10 minutes)

Added the restrictions to Meditate & Mnemonic Expertise of Cast Rank 6/2x High Magic and 100 Power/100 Mana

Reduced the rank that Meditate & Mnemonic Mastery be reduced to rank 70 (From rank 100 and reducing by 10 minutes)

Mnemonic restrictions reduced so that the caster must concentrate on Mnemonicing however may perform light activities and conversation such as eating or discussing events that have transpired however nothing that requires their full concentration such as keeping lookout, planning, negotiating or combat.

MAGIC BOOK

  • Remove refence to double magic AC for spells using shocking grasps e.g. stormsword
  • Wizard’s advantage – need removing from the spell list
  • Greater Identify spells – need adding to the spell list
  • Combat Level Additional Spells
Each school has 3 additional (advanced) spells and 3 additional (primary school) spells
When you learn a spell at combat level, you learn all instances of it from level 0-4 (unlike wizardry/arcane)
A mage who is Primary school in that element can pick ANY 3 of the 6 as their first pick. (The rest may be collected as a second)
A mages first pick does not HAVE to be in their primary school.
A pick of additional spells must all be from a single school
Purists get 3 spells when they opt to become purist.  Any of these may be from the purist list, or any of the 6 additional spells.  Likewise if they choose additional spells they are also pick from this extended selection
  • Wizardry Spell picks:
Old wording:
When you choose High or Arcane magic for the first time at each level the University teaches you the Mage Armour spell as well as your Primary School’s associated skin spell and Dispel spell. You will then be able to choose 3 other spells from your Primary School at that level or below. 
New Wording:
When you choose High or Arcane magic for the first time at each level the University teaches you the Mage Armour spell as well as your Primary School’s associated skin spell and Dispel spell. You will then be able to choose 3 other spells  at that level or below.  Up to one of these may be from Universal.  Otherwise they must be from your Primary School.  Each pick grants you that spell only at that level.  E.g. Firebolt 5 and 6 use two separate picks. (unlike at combat level)

 

 

PLAYER BOOK

  • New Character creation
    • update to include first time players start at rank 10 rather than rank 2. 
  • Monster points
    • Monster points are no longer are restricted to rank 0-20, any number of monster points may be invested into a character (please bear in mind we run less high level events than low/mid)
    • Ref points no longer exist
    • You recieve 18 monster points for monstering a 36 hour event, (4 for an 8 hour).
    • Refs and assistant refs receive 24 monster points for running a 36 hour event (6 for an 8 hour)
  • Purist (remove ambiguity over number of spells)
    • Currently says: A Purist will gain at least 3 extra combat level (Lv 0-4) spells from a separate purist list of spells unavailable toothers, any high (Lv 5-7) or arcane magic (Lv 8-10) spells may also be taken from a restricted purist list of spells.
    • CHANGE TO: A Purist will gain at 3 extra combat level (Lv 0-4) spells from a separate purist list of spells unavailable toothers, any high (Lv 5-7) or arcane magic (Lv 8-10) spells may also be taken from a restricted purist list of spells.
  • Set Broken Bone - Set broken bone requires 5 minutes of roleplaying, including bandaging and splinting the injured bone. Once this has been completed, any 'intelligent curing' (Ie Cure serious or above in good sphere) will mend the set bone.

RITUAL AND COSMIC POWER BOOK

  • Suspended Animation (Page 59)
    • Added prerequisite of Harm(5) for this invocation (C&P Error)

CORE RULE BOOK

  • Methods of Defence (Page 13/14)
    • Added clarification on Power/Magic AC vs touch spells and invocations. This has always been played this way, but has never been formally written down.

    • Defence Against Magical and Spiritual Touch Attacks

      Touch attacks which cause damage such as Cause Mortal Wounds (power) and Shocking Grasp (magic) are still affected by your power or magical armour class respectively. Magic or power armour class reduces the amount of damage dealt by the spell or invocation by 1 point per point of damage delivered by the spell or invocation per hand (Damage = Total Damage - (Power AC x # of hands required)

      For example, a Cause Mortal Wounds invocation delivers 48 points of power damage and must be delivered with a two-handed touch, so if a character has 6 points of power Armour Class, the amount of damage delivered by the Cause Mortal Wounds Invocations is 36 (D = 48 – (6 x 2))
