Races Of Magnamund

DRAKKARIM
The Drakkarim are a race of brutal, war-like humanoids that have allied themselves with the forces of Naar, serving as soldiers in the armies of the Darklords. Physically, they appear human-like, but tend to be stronger and tougher, with harsher features. They despise all other humans.

All Drakkarim gain the following abilities:
• Fearless: Drakkarim add 2 to all Spirit rolls to resist fear, and subtract -2 from fear table results
• Darklands Adaptability: Drakkar have been bred to survive in the poisonous atmosphere of the Darklands, and are immune to all poisons
• Mean: Drakkar care little for social niceties, and gain the Mean hindrance

DWARVES
The Drodarin Dwarfs of magnamund are stout, brave and stubborn folk, known for their ingenuity in the field of weapon and armour design, and their extremely potent alcohol (the infamous Bor Brew).

Dwarf characters gain the following abilities:
• Low Light Vision: Dwarves eyes are accustomed to the gloom of their underground homes. They ignore attack penalties for Dim or Dark lighting.
• Slow: Dwarfs have a Pace of 5".
• Tough: Dwarves start with d6 Vigour, rather than d4.

GIAKS
Giaks are a race of greeny grey-skinned, aggressive creatures bred for their ferocity and discipline in battle. Hardened by the intense fires of Helgedad, Giaks are able to exist in extreme conditions, can see in utter darkness, and are immune to most non-corrosive toxins. They are a formidable foe, but are easily broken if they lack a commanding presence.
Although rare, Giak characters may be possible, especially in an "evil" campaign. Giaks are loosly divided into Mountain Giaks, representing the stronger and hardier of the breed, and Swamp Giaks, who are smaller, weaker are more numerous, and found in more isolated pockets of magnamund.

All Mountain Giak characters have the following abilities:
• Heat Tolerance: Owing to their porous body fat, Giaks may add 4 to all rolls to resist extreme heat
• Infravision: Giaks can see in the infrared spectrum, halving all darkness penalties (round down) for attacking heat-producing foes.
• Poison Immunity: Owing to their enhanced lustral trachea alumentary canal, Mountain Giaks are completely immune to all non-corrosive poisons
• Tough: Giaks are incredibly resilient and hardy, starting with a d6 in their Vigour attribute, rather than a d4.
• Bloodthirsty: Giaks are cruel to their foes, delight in pain and suffering. and have a fearsome reputation. They will suffer -4 Charisma to mostly everyone, who doesnt appreciate their natures (Hindrance).
• Slave Mentality: Giaks suffer -2 to all Guts rolls, and Fear table results, if they are alone or outnumbered, unless in the presence of a strong leader (Hindrance).

HUMANS
Humans represent a diverse group of races and nations, from Ice Barbarian tribes of the far north, to the Sadi nomads of southern Magnamund.

All Human characters have the following abilities:
• Free Edge: Humans start with a free edge of their choice.

KLOONS
Related to Dwarfs, Kloons are shorter than their Drodarin cousins although Kloon males do not have facial hair. Kloons are extremely intelligent, and have a thirst for knowledge unparalleled amongst the races of Magnamund. Indeed Kloons are sought out across Magnamund, as advisors, chief librarians, sages, scholars, scientists and priests. They tend to have very little time for fools.

All Kloon characters have the following abilities:
• Intelligent: Kloons start with a d6 Smarts attribute, rather than a d4.
• Scholarly: Kloons all begin with a Knowledge skill at d6.
• Slow: Kloons have a Pace of 5".

KUNDI
The Kundi are a race of primitive ape-like humanoids that inhabit the cloud-realm of Azanam. Owing to their unusual ability to perceive into the astral realm, they have been systematically hunted to near extinction, by the Shadakine Empire. Physically, they are powerfully built, and have prehensile tails.

All Kundi characters have the following abilities:
• All Thumbs: Kundi have an inbred dislike of mechanical objects, and thus have the All Thumbs Hindrance. They shun most
mechanical items and designs (Hindrance).
• Prehensile Tail: Kundi gain one additional non-movement action each round, without a multi action penalty
• Astral Sight: Kundi may use the Detect Arcana power (they can only detect, not conceal) as a natural ability, using Smarts, and with 10 Power Points (it recharges at a rate of 1 per hour).
• Racial Enemy: All Kundi suffer -4 Charisma when dealing with Shadakine humans, who are likely to kill them on sight (Hindrance).

NOODNICS
Noodnics are a race of intelligent, bipedal rodents, that inhabit the maze of tunnels, beneath the Hammerdal mountains in Durenor. Standing around 2` tall, Noodnics come in a variety of fur colours, and wear any scraps of clothing they can steal from the larger folk using their tunnels. They are expert scavengers, existing be stealing trinkets, or making items from what they find.

All Noodnic characters have the following abilities:
• Nimble: Noodnics begin with a d8 in Agility and may raise it to a d12+2 via normal advancement; the Expert and Master Edges may raise it to a d12+4.
• Bestial: Noodnics are sentient animals, and as such cannot speak humanoid languages, although they can understand them (Hindrance).
• Low Light Vision: Noodnics eyes are particularly acute in the dark tunnels of their home. They ignore attack penalties for Dim or Dark lighting.
• Tiny: Noodnics are extremely small, typically about 2` tall, and so must subtract -2 Toughness (Hindrance)
• Weak: Noodnic’s Strength attribute requires two points per step to raise during character generation and the character must dedicate two Advances to raising the attribute during game play.
• Keen Senses: Noodnics all have the Alertness edge, gaining add 2 to all Notice rolls.
• Tunnel Dweller: Noodnics start with 1d6 in Climbing and Stealth

OGRONS
Distantly related to Dwarves and Kloons, Ogrons are huge, blue-skinned barbarians. Physically, they are intimidating, sporting tribal tatoos and exotic hairstyles, and are formidable warriors - they can be found serving as mercenaries across magnamund, where their ferocity and size is an obvious advangtage. However, Ogrons are a deeply spiritual people, who worship powerful ancestral spirits tied to their lands. They, like the other Drodarin race, share a hatred of the Cenerese race, who almost succeeded at wiping out the Drodarin race altogether.
Ogron characters gain the following abilities:
• Strong:Ogrons start with a Strength attribute of d8 instead of a d4, and may raise it up to d12+2 with normal advancements; the Expert and Master advantages may raise it to a d12+4.
• Large: Ogrons are huge, standing around 9 feet tall on average, and gain a +2 bonus to their Toughness.
• Oxygenated Blood: Owing to their unusual purple blood, Ogrons gain one Fatigue level every 15 minutes underwater; on reaching Incapacitated, they must make Vigour roll every minute or drown. Once back in air, lost Fatigue is recovered a one level per 15 minutes.
• Barbaric: Ogrons appear brutish, barbaric and primitive to mostly everyone, so all Ogrons have the Outsider hindrance. This doesnt count when intimidating an opponent (Hindrance).
• Dim Witted: Ogrons are not particularly scholarly or intelligent. Their Smarts attribute requires two points per step to raise during character generation and the character must dedicate two Advances to raising the attribute during game play (Hindrance).
• Alcoholic Weakness: Ogrons suffer -4 to all Vigour rolls to resist the effects of alcohol (Hindrance).

PATAR
The Patar are a human-like Drodarin race, who were partly responsible for creating the deadly Cenerese plague that wiped out the Drodarin people, thousands of years ago. Since then, they have vowed to live lives devoted to healing and curing diseases. In northern Magnamund, they are more commonly known as Redeemers, silent monks wearing black robes and wooden fish symbols.

All Patar have the following abilities:
• Vow (Major): Patar are utterly committed to their role as Redeemers. As such, they will always aid those in need, unless they are allied with evil, and maintain vows of silence and pacifism at all times (Hindrance).
• Natural Healer: All Patar gain the Healer edge
• Healing Arts: Patar start with Healing and Knowledge (Medicine) at d6

SZALLS
Szalls are a weak and cowardly type of Giak, that escaped into the wastelands of northern magnamund, where they have since settled as farmers and fishermen. Physically, they appear similar to Giaks, but have lost many of that species abilities - unlike the giak spawn, they are also able to mate, which over the generations, has weakened their original Giak frames, and mentality

Szall characters gain the following abilities:
• Agile: Szalls start with d6 Agility, rather than d4.
• Infravision: Szalls can see in the infrared spectrum, halving all darkness penalties (round down) for attacking heat-producing foes.

On a raise, you gain a sense of what the shelter is and the exact distance and direction.

Magic in Magnamund

Arcane Background (Old Kingdom Magic)
Arcane Skill: Spellcasting (Spirit)
Starting Willpower: 10
Starting Powers: 2

The Vakeros Warrior-mages, learn the quick and deadly spells of Battle-magic. Rather than memorizing spells and incantations, a Warrior mage learns to use their magic as an extension of their own natural abilities. Although a Warrior-mage has far fewer spells than a regular wizard or sorcerer, they are much more effective in battle, preferring to leap into the action, rather than offer support from cover.

Backlash:When a Warrior-mage rolls a 1 on both his Wild die and Battle-Magic die, they are Shaken. This can cause a wound. In addition, if a caster wears any form of armour while casting spells, they suffer a penalty to their Battle-Magic rolls, equal to their highest Armour bonus, less 1

Arcane Background (Left-Handed Magic)
Arcane Skill: Spellcasting (Smarts)
Starting Willpower: 10
Starting Powers: 3

Backlash:When a Wizard rolls a 1 on his Spellcasting die, (regardless of his wild die), they are Shaken. This can cause a
wound. In addition, if a caster wears any form of armour while casting spells, they suffer a penalty to their Spellcasting rolls, equal to their highest Armour bonus

For example, Faragen the mage finds himself having to face off a small army of giaks. Fearing his demise, and without any protection spells, Faragen grabs a chainmail waistcoat, swiftly putting it on. He may well have protection, but all his Spellcasting rolls are now made at -2.

Arcane Background (Elder Arts)
Arcane Skill: Spellcasting (Spirit)
Starting Willpower: 10
Starting Powers: 3

Backlash:When a Magician rolls a 1 on his Spellcasting die, (regardless of his wild die), they are Shaken. This can cause a wound. In addition, if a caster wears any form of armour while casting spells, they suffer a penalty to their Spellcasting rolls, equal to their highest Armour bonus

NEW SPELLS

BROTHERHOOD SPELLS
The following spells are taught to the Brotherhood Magicians of Sommerlund, and require the Arcane Background (Left-Handed Magic) edge to obtain.

LIGHTNING HAND
• Rank: Novice
• Willpower: 2
• Range: 12"
• Duration: Instant
Lightning Hand, a trapping if the Jet power, is a useful spell taught to Brotherhood magicians. By pointing with their left hand at a target, a Brotherhood mage may launch a bolt of lightning at their foes. The bolt streams from the casters hand, 1" wide and 12" long - anyone in the target area must make an opposed Agility roll or will take 2d8 damage. If the target is carrying 10lbs or more of conducting metal, is standing in water etc, the damage is increased to 3d8 damage.

MIND CHARM
• Rank: Novice
• Willpower: 3
• Range: Smarts
• Duration: 1 minute (2/minute)
This useful spell is a weaker version of Puppet - rather than break the will of the target, the wizard appears to the subject as a friend. Mind Charm is an opposed roll of the characters Spellcasting skill versus he targets Spirit. The caster must score a success and beat the the target by at least 1 success - if they do, the target will have a reaction of Friendly, or Helpful if they were already Friendly. They are not under the casters control, so will react negatively to unreasonably behavior or requests

MEND
• Rank: Seasoned
• Willpower: 5
• Range: Touch
• Duration: Instant
Rare amongst wizards, this spell can be used to repair damaged items or lost wounds. This spell may only be cast while standing in fresh running water. Mend repairs recent bodily damage. It
must be used within the “golden hour,” though, for it has no effect on wounds more than one hour old. For Wild Cards, each use of the Mend spell removes a wound with a success, two with a raise. The roll suffers a penalty equal to the victim’s wounds (in addition to any the caster might be suffering himself). For Extras, the GM must first determine if the ally is dead (see Aftermath in Savage Worlds). If so, no healing may be attempted.If not, a successful arcane skill roll returns the ally to the game Shaken.
Mend may be used on damaged or broken items. If the spellcasting roll equals or exceeds the objects Toughness rating, the item is completely restored.

SENSE EVIL
• Rank: Novice
• Willpower: 2
• Range: Sight
• Duration: 1 minute (1/minute)
This spell is one of the reasons Brotherhood magicians are highly sought after as personal advisors. When this spell is cast, this spell reveals all evil targets, items or locations within sight, or those that harbour evil thoughts towards the caster, even if they are concealed, for the duration of the effect. On a raise, this spell will reveal evilness far beyond the normal range, often up to several miles away. However, the caster will just get a general impression and direction of the source.

LEVITATION
• Rank: Seasoned
• Willpower: 5
• Range: Sight
• Duration: 3 (1/round)
Levitation, a trapping of the Telekinesis power, is the ability to move a single object or creature (including one’s self) with arcane will. The weight a caster can lift is equal to 50 pounds times his Spirit die type. While this discipline is in effect, the caster may move themselves, or the target, up to half their Smarts die in inches turn, but only vertical movement is possible. The subject may just hover in the air if the player wishes, however.
Lifting Creatures: Living targets may resist with an opposed Spirit roll. If the roll is greater than the caster’s skill total, the victim is unaffected. If the creature loses, however, it is lifted as usual and does not get another attempt to break free. Occasionally a victim might manage to grab onto something solid to prevent itself from being lifted. When this happens, the victim may make an opposed Strength roll versus the caster’s arcane skill. If the victim is successful, he manages to grab onto whatever was available and is not moved, bashed, or otherwise affected
that round.
Dropping Things: Particularly ruthless characters often use Levitation to drop their foes or bash them into walls and the like. Dropped creatures suffer falling damage as usual. Victims who are bashed into walls or other solid objects suffer the caster’s Spirit+d6 as damage. If a caster with a d12 Spirit smashes a Giak into a ceiling, for example, the Giak suffers d12+d6 damage.

INVISIBLE SHIELD
• Rank: Novice
• Willpower: 2
• Range: Touch
• Duration: 3 (1/round)
Invisible Shield, a trapping of the Deflection power, creates an invisible shield that misdirects incoming melee and missile attacks from the user. With a standard success, attackers must subtract 2 from any Fighting, Shooting, or other attack rolls directed at the user. A raise increases the penalty to –4. This also acts as Armor against area effect weapons. Invisible Shield has no effect on magical attacks, only physical ones.

SILENCE
• Rank: Novice
• Willpower: 2
• Range: Smarts
• Duration: 3 (1/round)
This useful spell, a trapping if the Obscure power, creates a zone of silence equal to a large burst template, which can be centered around the caster, so that it follows them during the duration. Any hearing -based Notice rolls within the area are made at -6, allowing the caster to sneak by guards etc. Perhaps more usefully, though, is that all arcane powers reliant on incantations and spell words (including the caster) suffer -6 to arcane skill rolls made within the area.

NET
• Rank: Novice
• Willpower: 2-4
• Range: Smarts
• Duration: Special
This power, a trapping of the Entangle power allows the character to restrain a target with a magical sticky net.
The arcane skill roll is opposed by the target’s Agility. Success indicates partial restraint so that the target suffers a –2 penalty to Pace and skills linked to Agility and Strength. A raise restrains the target fully. He cannot move or use any skills
linked to Agility or Strength. Each following round, an entangled target may make a Strength or Agility roll to break free. Other characters may also attempt to free the ensnared person by making a Strength roll at –2. For 2 Power Points entangle targets a single opponent. For 4 points it affects everyone in a Medium Burst Template.

OLD KINGDOM SPELLS
These Battle Magic spells are taught to the Vakeros Warrior-Mages of Dessi. They require the Arcane Background (Old Kingdom Magic) edge to obtain.

POWER WORD
• Rank: Novice
• Willpower: 2
• Range: 12/24/48
• Duration: Special
Power Word, a trapping of the Stun power shocks those within a Medium Burst Template with concussive and deafening shout. If the arcane character scores a success, targets within the area of effect must make Vigor rolls or be Shaken. With a raise, victims must make Vigor rolls at –2. Shaken targets also suffer 2 to all hearing-based notice rolls, until they recover.

INVISIBLE FIST
• Rank: Seasoned
• Willpower: 2
• Range: Cone Template
• Duration: Instant
Invisible Fist, a trapping of the Pummel power allows a character to knock down multiple foes in a single spell. The caster makes an arcane skill roll and then places a Cone Template in front of him. Any character touched by the template must make a Strength roll (at –2 if the caster gets a raise). Any target that fails is knocked back 2d6” and becomes prone. If the target strikes an inanimate object, he is Shaken as well. Targets with cover may subtract the cover modifier from the total distance moved (to a minimum of 0), and flying targets suffer an additional –2 to their Strength roll.

FLAMESHAFT
• Rank: Novice
• Willpower: 3
• Range: Touch
• Duration: 3 (1/round)
Flameshaft, a trapping of the Smite power, may be cast on a a full quiver of 20 arrows or bolts. While the spell is in effect, each missile fired is imbued with a magical blue flame that cannot be extinguished. The weapon’s damage is increased by +2 or +4 with a raise, and ignores 2 AP. Additionally the target may also catch fire, with the usual chance, adding 2 to the d6 roll on a raise.

SPLINTER
• Rank: Novice
• Willpower: 2
• Range: Smarts
• Duration: Instant
Splinter enables the caster to causes one breakable item, such as a bottle, mirror, window etc, to shatter into pieces. If any targets are within a Medium burst of the object must make an Agility roll against the arcane skill result, or take 2d6 damage from shrapnel.
