The Runecrafting Magic System is
detailed
here. |
Rather than cast Spells
or work some other form of Magic on the spur of the moment, Runecrafters instead
inscribe special Runes upon objects or even living creatures that invest
the inscribed object or person with Magical capabilities. Runecrafters
particularly excel at the crafting of Magic Items, and are often well
equipped
individuals. They also excel at warding buildings and areas with protective
Runes, making them excellent on the defense as well. |
Runecrafters can be quite
powerful, and also possess useful crafting skills. In campaigns focusing on
more hack and slash action, Runecrafters with a selection of custom made
Magic Items can excel, while in a more role-playing oriented game their
ability to interact with the mercantile elements of the setting come to the
fore. Generally well rounded and fun to play, they offer a lot of potential
to an interested player. |
NOTE: In some
settings Runecrafting has roots in a particular culture; for instance in
some worlds Runes might be the Magic of Dwarvenkind. |
