Callie's Heroes

Name: Calliope (Callie) Willow Archer

Age: 26

Class: Ranger

Race: Gnome

Level: Silver Tier

Gender: Female

EQUIPMENT

ITEM: NATURE BLESSED HEARTWOOD BOW (weapon)

MATERIAL: Everliving Dryadic Heartwood

INHERENT EFFECTS: Any arrow shot from this bow is Nature Blessed and able to affect targets that may ignore normal, non-magical arrows. Targets containing Nether energy take extra damage from this blessing when struck. Will grow a Heartwood Tree seedling that can be removed and planted, which takes approximately 250 days. If a seedling leaf is ingested, it will restore health, mana and stamina, as well as provide enough nourishment for a normal-sized person for one day. This effect is independent of potion and Druidic Berry cooldowns. The leaf will regrow in about one day.

RUNE: Increase effective range

RUNE: Increase effective range (Diminishing Returns)

RUNE: Reduce casting time of bow skills

RUNE: Increase mana efficiency (ie, reduce mana cost) of bow skills

RUNE: Reinforce bow strength and flexibility

RUNE: Reduce recharge time of bow skills. The inscribed item must be touching the recipient to receive this effect. Not effective in magically null areas.

ENCHANTMENT: Summon Arrow - Summon an arrow when the bowstring is pulled. Summoned arrow has a lifespan of approximately ten seconds after release. Holds approximately one-hundred arrow charges and recharges at a rate of fifteen per minute. Touching the bow’s thumb indentation at time of draw will suppress arrow formation, using up a suppression charge. Maximum of five suppression charges with a three minute recharge time.

ENCHANTMENT: Self Repair - The bow will magically repair any damage it may sustain, or regrow lost pieces, but must be supplied with mana to maintain the repair/regrowth process. Regrown bowstrings will need to be manually secured into place.

ENCHANTMENT: Recall Weapon - Telekinetically summon the enchanted weapon into the attuned wielder’s hands. Maximum range of approximately thirty meters.

ENCHANTMENT: Magical Storage - Magically store the attuned bow into an attuned stone touching the wielder’s body. The stored bow may be recalled at any time. Recalled bow is not considered a summoned item. Only the attuned wielder may store/recall the bow. Each action uses one charge, and the stone has three charges, with a recharge rate of approximately one hour.

TALISMAN (x2): Store one charge of any originally Silver Tier or lower weapon skill for later use for up to six hours. Requires a low amount of mana to initially store the charge. Normal mana is required to use this stored charge after it is reclaimed.

CARE REQUIREMENT: Must be provided water and sunlight at least once per week. If not cared for properly, the Self-Repair enchantment will go dormant, as will all Inherent Effects, causing the seedling to wither and die. Once provided water and sunlight, these effects return, and the seedling will begin to grow again.

DESCRIPTION: This ability imbues a prepped arrow to explode in a gooey, stick mass immediately before striking its target. The substance will spread over said target, binding their limbs and slowing or preventing movement. The more the target struggles, the more the substance will spread. The binding material is considered summoned and will evaporate after approximately 1 minute. The application of flame will cause the sticky substance to instantly burn away, producing very little heat. As the skill level increases, the duration of the summoning and charge count, while casting and recharge times will decrease.

Both the hook and rope have a summoned duration of approximately 10 minutes. Higher tiers of this skill reduce recharge and cast time, grant more charges, and increase duration and rope length, in addition to other effects.

This is a melded skill of TINKER + SUMMON COMPONENTS

MELDED CLASS SKILL: SUMMON MODULAR TURRET (SILVER TIER)

MANA USAGE: VARIES

CASTING TIME: VARIES

RECHARGE TIME: 20 SECONDS

CHARGES: 12

Turrets are assembled at time of casting from various component options, with the number of charges, amount of mana and casting time required varying based on those components. The construct must be summoned within a range of 4 meters from the caster. Turrets are summoned constructs and will dissipate after approximately 10 minutes, but can be dismissed at any time. Only 2 turrets can be deployed at a time. Summoning an additional turret will cause the oldest active turret to dissolve. Higher tiers of this skill will increase the maximum active turret count, number of charges, and improve other elements. This perk synergizes with the TINKER trait in the exploration of perk-related projects.

OFF-CLASS SKILLS

SKILL: INSPIRING MELODY (IRON TIER)

MANA USAGE: LOW (CHANNELED)

CASTING TIME: NONE (CHANNELED)

RECHARGE TIME: NONE

CHARGES: NONE

DESCRIPTION: This skill grants the capability to manipulate emotions via music or rhythmic spoken word. Effectiveness requires the willing attention of the audience, with environmental and mental distractions mitigating impact. This is a suggestive charm and thus bypasses most passive charm defenses. Will not affect those with charm immunity. It can only affect sentience capable of emotion. Further mastery increases projection strength, overall emotional intensity, range, and distraction resistance. In addition, the skill can be made increasingly effective against unwilling targets.

SKILL: SEASON (IRON TIER)

MANA USAGE: LOW (CHANNELED)

CASTING TIME: VARIES (CHANNELED)

RECHARGE TIME: NONE

CHARGES: NONE

DESCRIPTION: This skill will allow the caster to imbue a liquid with simple flavors. The intensity of this flavor is increased the longer the skill is channeled. Once imbued, the result cannot be further seasoned. Complex flavors requiring more than one simple flavor are beyond this skill at Iron Tier. The flavoring is considered a summoned material, and will evaporate approximately 4 hours after creation. Further mastery will increase the complexity of flavors that may be created as well as summoned duration, as well as permit additional magical manipulation.

SKILL: SIGIL OF AMPLIFICATION (IRON TIER)

MANA USAGE: LOW + CHANNEL

CASTING TIME: SPECIAL

RECHARGE TIME: NONE

CHARGES: NONE

DESCRIPTION: This skill allows you to etch a glowing sigil in the air. You can then push the sigil onto a person or object and it significantly increases the volume of the target's voice or any other purposely emitted sound. Tapping the Sigil once activates the amplification, while a second time deactivates it, effectively muting the Sigil’s power. The Sigil remains active as long as it is fueled by mana. Mana to power the Sigil can come from the caster or another source, and it will remain active for approximately 10 minutes once the mana source is removed, or until dismissed. At Iron Tier, you are only able to channel 1 Sigil of Amplification at a time. As you improve your mastery of this skill, the number of actively channeled Sigils permitted will increase and their overall amplification effects will improve.

Functions in the same biomes as the synergized perk Wilderness Tracking. Does not function during combat or other periods of high activity or stress.

MELDED CLASS PERK: EFFECT LAYERING

DESCRIPTION: This perk allows the caster to apply multiple skill effects to a single arrow. The effects are applied in reverse order of their intended use. If the casting or use condition for any effect fails, all effects are canceled and the caster loses all charges and mana used. Mana required increases significantly with each additional effect. Caster can apply the same effect multiple times, as long as they have enough charges and mana, and all castings are completed before the first’s effect dissipates.

This is a melded perk of TINKER + ADVANCED ARCHERY.

CLASS PERK: ENDURANCE (WILDERNESS)

This does not include the manufacture of such instruments, beyond the most rudimentary of levels. This perk synergizes with the TINKER trait in the exploration of perk-related projects.

TRAITS

RACIAL TRAIT: CHILDLIKE CHARM

DESCRIPTION: Gnomes emit a mild charm that affects individuals with nurturing tendencies, even if subconscious. Those affected may view the Gnome as a vulnerable child in need of help or protection, rather than a potential threat. However, this charm is only suggestive in nature and cannot coerce someone into doing something they are not inclined to do. As this trait operates as a suggestive charm, it will bypass most passive charm defenses. Beings who are Gnome-sized or smaller are immune to this charm.

RACIAL TRAIT: DARKVISION

MANA USAGE: MANA MUST BE PRESENT IN USER

DESCRIPTION: Provides the ability to see in the dark with a monochromatic, false-light vision. Effect may be activated or deactivated at will. Requires the presence of mana within the Gnome's body to function.

RACIAL TRAIT: MANA-ENHANCED HEARING

DESCRIPTION: Gnomes possess highly sensitive hearing, enabling them to detect even faint or far-off sounds with careful concentration. When underground, a Gnome can accurately discern the direction of sound regardless of any echoes present. Requires the presence of mana within the Gnome's body to function.

RACIAL TRAIT: RESIST FEAR

MANA USAGE: SPECIAL

CASTING TIME: NONE

RECHARGE TIME: 10 MINUTES

DESCRIPTION: Gnomes possess a natural resistance towards situations and influences that evoke fear. If they happen to be affected by an active Fear effect, they may choose to spend mana in an attempt to fend it off. The amount of mana required for this depends on the intensity of the effect. This trait is ineffective against self-generated emotional fear-effects.

RACIAL TRAIT: TINKER

DESCRIPTION: Gnomes have an inherent mental ability to design, engineer and create strange new ideas, contraptions, weapons, machines and projects. Will synergize with related perks, skills and traits to expand the knowledge base that may be utilized by this trait.

SYNERGIZED PERKS: Advanced Archery, Summon Modular Turret, Carpentry, Plumbing, Electrical, Bookkeeping/Logistics, Bowyer/Fletcher, Musician - Hand-Held Chordophones

SYNERGIZED TRAITS: Underground Sense

RACIAL TRAIT: UNDERGROUND SENSE

DESCRIPTION: Like Dwarves, Gnomes have a natural affinity for underground environs. They can sense direction and grade of underground passages, and will seldom get lost. They can easily discern the stability of ceilings or floors, and how to remove rock and earth without causing collapse, etc. They possess knowledge of essential underground survival skills. Provides a premonition-like danger sense in underground areas giving the Gnome up to thirty seconds warning, as well as the general direction of the danger. This danger sense does not function during combat or other periods of high activity or stress. This trait synergizes with the TINKER trait in the exploration of trait-related projects.
