# Low Road Legends

My game lowroad legends heres gonna be info on rules, abilities etc

# Character Creation

# Picking a Model

<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Models are agnostic in lowroad legends, you simply need something to represent the character you are building. Preference is that the model has the representative items like weapons and armor but is in no way required. </span>

<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">For larger modules with multiple models the only rule is to have more. </span>

<u>**\*\*\*As movement isnt setup yet size could become a limiting factor\*\*\***</u>

# Requirements

To play you need a way to keep up with stats and abilities, a d6, though having multiple is preferred, and obviously a model

***\*\*\*Movement hasn't been developed and could change this\*\*\****

# Modules

Different ways to use the hero developed

# Arena

#### Pre doc listing may or may not be out of date

<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The arena can be pvp or pvpve depending on rules you wish to follow. </span>

In general it will be pvp with small squads 3 characters, if wanting to run one you can set goals and add NPC enemies.

The crowd can be used and roll a d6 every turn to determine what they do. Such as blood thirst.

  
Every few rounds of battle roll a d6 for a modifier traps etc.

- Players start on opposite sides of the arena, base level traps are placed as well as a rolled for creature
- Players gain the kick special ability
    - Kick pushes a player back 5 feet(1block) + 5 ft for every 2 points over the defenders defense
    - Kick is your attack and works the same way as a regular attack , effects from a weapon can not be use
    - Defender can choose to use dexterity or strength for defense here.
- Every 3 rounds:
    - The crowd reacts causing an effect
    - A d6 summoning of monsters
    - at 6th turn summoning effects happen twice, then three times
- Points are scored based on this:
    - Regular Monster 1
    - Elite 3
    - player 3
- If a player dies they respawn at the original area

# [](https://doc.pandabeardev.ninja/9y6NKtn2Q4qyXhUndzs5VA?view#MAGIC-NOTES "MAGIC-NOTES")MAGIC NOTES:

# [](https://doc.pandabeardev.ninja/9y6NKtn2Q4qyXhUndzs5VA?view#Low-Road-Legends-Magic "Low-Road-Legends-Magic")Low Road Legends Magic

- Magic has to have a cost cant be spamming it
    - System needs to have a cooldown offset by Ess, but minimum of 1 turn between use of a spell.
        - Spells that last 2 turns would have a minimum of 2
        - The idea is to not have a spam of one. Some spells may bypass this but we will just call it the cooldown and all spells have a global of one unless otherwise noted.
        - Cost can be added too, possibly essence charging up after being expended
            - A spell may cost 4 ESS, a player had 4 total, player builds up 1 per turn if essence was a specific number and more if his starting number was higher.
- The above are all ideas and subject to change as are the info below

## [](https://doc.pandabeardev.ninja/9y6NKtn2Q4qyXhUndzs5VA?view#Magic-has-evolved "Magic-has-evolved")Magic has evolved

- Magic is now not int but essence representing magical ability

### [](https://doc.pandabeardev.ninja/9y6NKtn2Q4qyXhUndzs5VA?view#Direct-attack-spells "Direct-attack-spells")Direct attack spells

- Your average attack spells, fireball etc
- Cause direct damage and likely have a defense related to one stat

### [](https://doc.pandabeardev.ninja/9y6NKtn2Q4qyXhUndzs5VA?view#Buff-Spells "Buff-Spells")Buff Spells

- Spells to increase a stat, damage, defense or something else.
- Conversly includes spells to do the opposite to enemies(target allies is ok though)
- This is your ray of enfeeblement or haste style spells

### [](https://doc.pandabeardev.ninja/9y6NKtn2Q4qyXhUndzs5VA?view#Reactive-Spells "Reactive-Spells")Reactive Spells

- Reactions, realistically im expecting these to be paired with attack or defense
    - Spell that Raises defense based on Ess when hit(reactions to the hit)

### [](https://doc.pandabeardev.ninja/9y6NKtn2Q4qyXhUndzs5VA?view#Combo-Spells "Combo-Spells")Combo Spells

- Similar to reactive spells except these are comboed with an action not in response to an action. As above a spell may be defensive when you are hit, that is reactive, but a spell to say make a blade hit at a distance, would be done in conjunction with the action of attacking.

### [](https://doc.pandabeardev.ninja/9y6NKtn2Q4qyXhUndzs5VA?view#Misc-Spells "Misc-Spells")Misc Spells

- These are spells that may have rules specific to them, on a bell curve i expect them to contain the weakest and strongest spells.
    - Summoning Minions
    - Reviving the dead
    - “Healing” -&gt; seems more a buff spell though
