Shower Policy- There is one shower available for player use at the Claremont, NH site. It is a propane shower. It's perfectly safe, if used correctly!
No one is allowed to use the shower without having been taught the process by a staff member. PLEASE ASK.
As the shower draws directly from the site owners' supply we ask anyone who intends to use the shower donate $3 at logistics to help cover the cost to them.
Ratio Policy- As of the 2013 season we are instituting a 3 to 1 PC to NPC Ratio
We have been trying to avoid this for some time, but in order to give you the players the best possible experience at our events we simply need more resources to work with. This means more NPCs. In order to facilitate this we have instituted a ratio. For every NPC we have we will have 3 PC slots. This will ensure more mods, bigger battles with lower statted individual NPCs, and more immersive roleplay in and around the town.
In order to get this to work, we will be posting lists of registered NPCs and PCs on our boards that will be updated frequently. We will add new PC slots as we get NPC registrations. If you are going to NPC PLEASE REGISTER. This is very important to ensure the maximum number of PC open slots. The best way to ensure that you get one of the open spots is to Pre-register and Pre-logist. It helps you and us cut down logistics lines and gets you in game faster.
For further enticement, we will be upping our NPC compensation and providing new Paragon Racial and Class templates for purchase. These will be posted shortly. If you have any questions on this policy then please feel free to create a thread and ask.
Epic Death Policy
The purpose of this NH LCO Epic Death Policy is to allow a player to insure a more customized and dramatic death for a character’s permanent demise.
With this policy the Player is allowed to purchase for 500 Gobbies an “Epic Death” for a character of their choosing. The process for enacting this policy and all requirements are listed below. Should a player fail to follow the below requirements the Epic Death may be denied to the player and the Gobbies will be considered used.
Please Note: This policy in NO WAY reverses the permanent death of a character. It is intended solely to enhance the permanent death of said character.
Requirements:
- A Player must purchase the Epic Death for 500 Gobbies.
- The Player’s character must be Home Based in the Alliance NH Chapter
- The Player must have a valid character history submitted to and approved by the plot team one month prior to the use of the Epic Death
- Once activated upon the permanent death of the character, the Player is considered an NPC and must not in any way disclose the pending permanent death of the character to any other players or characters, in-game or out of game.
- The player must not dramatically alter the plot in any way by taking actions the character wouldn’t normally take, or by giving out their belongings, etc. For all intents and purposes, the character must act as normal, as if they had resurrected successfully.
How It Works:
- When a character resurrects and pulls from the bag of chance, if they pull the “Death Stone” and are consequently now permanently dead, they must inform the Healer’s Guildmaster, (or whoever is handling the resurrection logistically out of game), that they would like to use their Epic Death. The Guildmaster will then immediately inform the plot team of this. Both the Player and the Guildmaster must keep this information private and by no means are they allowed to inform other players of the use of the Epic Death.
- Once the plot team has been informed, the player and Guildmaster will now finish the resurrection process as if the character resurrected successfully. The player must act as they normally would had they resurrected successfully.
- From the moment the “Death Stone” is pulled, the character is now considered an NPC. Any attempt on the Player’s part to abuse or misuse this policy will result in a permanent death scenario of the plot teams choosing that will Not be Epic.
- The player will now continue to play the character as they normally would until the plot team provides an Epic scenario that will lead to the character’s permanent demise. The plot team will ensure that the player knows when this scenario will either take place, or what to look for. The player will not be informed of all details, to add to the epic flavor of the death. The Epic Death will most likely take place prior to the next logistics period, however, No Later than the end of the current event.
- The player must then “allow” or “sacrifice” the character to whatever Epic Death Scenario the plot team provides for them, based on the Player’s character history. The Player will not have say in what happens during the Epic Death. (Remember, this is a privilege!)
- Once the Epic Death Scenario is completed, the Player may be requested to go through the Resurrection process as normal, however the bag of chance will be stacked with 10 “Death Stones”. No matter the outcome of the Epic Death Scenario, the character will permanently die at the current event as per the original failed resurrection.
Notes:
- If a player purchases an Epic Death for a character and that character permanently dies in a manner that the player is happy with, the player may choose to apply the Epic Death to another character, provided that character meets the same requirements stated above. There will be no additional charge to transfer the Epic Death.
- The purpose of this policy is to provide a more customized means of death for a character. To that end, the player must remember this is a privilege and therefore may be revoked should the above requirements not be met.
- Secrecy in regards to when an Epic Death is activated is of the utmost importance. We don’t want players activating their Epic Death and while waiting for the scenario to play out, give out their items and possessions, or telling that big bad NPC all about the towns plans, etc. In doing so, the character will be permanently killed in a far less than Epic manner and the Epic Death will be considered used.
Disclaimers:·
- This policy may be removed from the Alliance NH Chapter at any time, should it be that any issues caused to the game or the Alliance Rules System outweighs the intention of the policy.
- This policy in NO WAY reverses the permanent death of a character. It is intended solely to enhance the permanent death of said character.
Paragon Packages-Deadlands now offers three different types of Paragon packages for players to purchase during our events. They are designed to add extra flavor to the game and to reward our players for donating their time and support to our chapter and immersing themselves into our stories. These packages will be adjusted and tweaked as needed over the season as we see how they function in the game and how they are received. Announcements will be made as adjustments occur.
The three different package options are racial, class, and plot/elemental based. Descriptions for each group of packages are given with their sections. Players may purchase racial and class based packages that align with their characters race and class. Elemental packages may only be purchased by players who have plot's permission to do so. These are designed to add spice to the plot that a player has become involved in. All players are welcome to access the elemental packages, but must do so through discussion with plot and through in-game actions before being able to use them.
If you have any questions regarding these packages, please send an email to deadlandsgm@gmail.com and we will help you out.
When pre-logisting, there is a section on the form for Paragon packages. If you intend to purchase a package for the upcoming event, please indicate your intentions and which package you'd like to purchase in that section so logistics can plan accordingly.
Below are the goblin stamp costs and descriptions of the different packages available for purchase during our events.
Cost Structures
Racial Paragon:
Tier 1 = 150 goblin stamps
Tier 1 & 2 = 300 goblin stamps
Tier 1, 2 & 3 = 450 goblin stamps
Maximum purchase for a weekend is one Tier 3 package.
Martial Paragon
Each Package = 200 goblin stamps
Maximum purchase for a weekend is three packages (one of each, no duplicates)
Elemental Touched
(If interested in playing with these packages, please discuss your options with Plot. These packages can only be purchased with plot approval.)
Prime Power = 300 goblin stamps (can only be purchased once an event)
Major Power = 200 goblin stamps (can be purchased multiple times an event)
Minor Power = 100 goblin stamps (can be purchased multiple times an event)
The intention of the packages is that they are predominantly to be considered extensions of the purchaser's own skills, as opposed to ritual effects. In all cases the limited use abilities (and penalties where applicable) provided by the paragon packages reset at logistics just like build bought skills. Any paragon ability that offers a choice may be re-chosen at that time.
The only exception to this is the 6 high magic points provided by elf tier 3, as high magic points are awarded for a 5-day period. It should be noted that the 6 points are intended to last a two day event, and a longer or shorter event would incur a commensurately larger or smaller yield.
Paragon Package Descriptions:
Racial Paragon Paths
As a Paragon of one's race, a player may purchase ascending Tiers of paragon-hood, with the cost increasing by tier. A player who purchases a higher tier must also purchase the lower tier(s). (If you purchase a tier 2 package you must also purchase the tier 1 package; the list cost reflects both purchases.) Wylderkin who purchase higher than Tier 1 may select a single Tier 1 ability and a single Tier 2 ability, but do not gain the Tier 1 ability from their Tier 2 selection.
Players may only purchase the paragon package of their own race.

Elemental Touched
These powers may only be purchased with the approval of Plot. To accept an Elemental Touch is to have your character fundamentally altered; he is marked as a champion of the element that has touched his spirit, and is blessed with the powers of that plane. We highly encourage any interested players to contact plot and interact with the different plot pieces that go out at our events. We like it when people play with our plot!
Elemental Touched may purchase a single use of Prime powers, and any number of Minor and Major powers. Powers with spoken incantations take the form of spells (which must be cast and treated as if they were memorized spells).
Foundation Elemental Powers
Flame
Elder Dragon's Breath (Flame Prime - Evocation) - The user channels the primal flame that exists within the heart of all dragons. The user must plant his feet and not move for the duration of the spell; if the user moves his feet, the spell ends. Upon activation, the user's armor is immediately breached, and any temporary armor points are removed. Additionally, the user becomes immune to Healing and to Protection/Enhancement, and any lingering effects from either or both of those schools are dispelled. The user may then cast an infinite number of Dragon's Breath spells by reciting the full incantation ("I call forth a Dragon's Breath"), and does not require or expend any Dragon's Breath spells in memory. At the completion of the spell, the user immediately drops to -1 Body and is dying, and his immunity to Healing and Protection/Enhancement is removed. Incantation - I call forth the ancient wyrm 1, 2, 3...
Purchasing this power enhances the character's connection to their elemental mark, conferring a Planar Asylum to the plane of Flame and causing them to take double damage from Ice.
Flame Blade (Major - Enhancement):
Grants the user an Elemental Blade for the duration of the event, may only be self-cast and must be used specifically to channel Flame.
Elemental Flame (Major):

Frozen Fortress (Prime - Eldritch Force): May only be purchased once.
The frozen winds of the Plane offer the user three layers of defense against the enemies of Ice and Water. Upon activation, all three effects occur simultaneously. First and most immediately, the user freezes himself in a solid block of ice. This power acts as a self-cast Prison, exactly as the spell. Secondly, the user immediately gains 50 temporary armor points, as crystals of ice freeze to his skin and act as a barrier against further damage. This armor is expended before any existing armor, and cannot be replenished in any way. Lastly, the user gains a burst pool of 100 Elemental Ice, exactly like the high magic ability. This burst pool does not add to wand damage, and does not stack with any existing burst pools including others gained from Ice-Touched abilities. Incantation - Elemental Prison.

Life
Seed of Life (Prime - Gift): May only be purchased once.
The user may grant a Rebirth effect to any character (PC or NPC), but not themselves. This Rebirth functions on the spell's recipient exactly as the high magic ability, but does not require or expend a memorized Life spell on the part of either the caster or the recipient. To activate this ability, the user must spend at least thirty seconds roleplaying an appropriate scene with the recipient, after which the effect of the ability must be explained. During the scene, the user must say the phrase "I plant within you the seed of life."
Incantation (Recipient): Activate Rebirth.

Grants the user the power to channel their own life energy into another living creature.

This healing ability must be immediately expended in full, and may neither be saved for later use nor split among multiple targets. The caster may not use this spell to heal themselves. Example: The caster elects to suffer 15 Elemental Body damage, and may then touch-cast 45 Body healed.

Once the user has cast five Death spells or if he ends the spell early by moving, he suffers the effect of a Death spell as if touch cast and accepted.
Incantation: 3 count: "I call forth oblivion 1..."
Purchasing this power enhances the character's connection to their elemental mark, conferring a Planar Asylum to the plane of Death and causing them to need two Life spells to recover from being dead. Rebirth counts as one life spell.
Consume Pain (Major - Enhancement):
The user may augment his next attack by meditating on his own pain. When this spell is cast, he may add the difference between his current and maximum Body Points to his weapon swings or wand charges, until an attack successfully resolves and causes damage (compare to resolving via defensive ability).

To activate this ability on another character, the user must spend at least thirty seconds roleplaying an appropriate scene with the recipient, after which the effect of the ability must be explained. During the scene, the user must say the phrase "I restore your perfect form." To activate this ability on oneself, the user must meditate for 30 seconds and may take no other actions.
Incantation: none.
Purchasing this power enhances the character's connection to their elemental mark, conferring a Planar Asylum to the plane of Order and causing them to take double damage from Necromancy.
Ward of the Earth (Major - Healing):
The user reduces all damage taken from any necromancy source or from any undead by half until the end of the encounter. This includes any Cause Wounds spell, any carrier falling under the Necromancy effect group, any Chaos attack, or any damaging spell, weapon swing or attack used by a creature of the Undead type, but does NOT protect the user from necromantic debilitations such as Drain.

A player who wishes to use this ability should contact Plot and Logistics before the event begins to receive the proper card and costuming.
Incantation: 3 count: "I sever my connection to the elements 1..."

As the shower draws directly from the site owners' supply we ask anyone who intends to use the shower donate $3 at logistics to help cover the cost to them.
Ratio Policy- As of the 2013 season we are instituting a 3 to 1 PC to NPC Ratio
We have been trying to avoid this for some time, but in order to give you the players the best possible experience at our events we simply need more resources to work with. This means more NPCs. In order to facilitate this we have instituted a ratio. For every NPC we have we will have 3 PC slots. This will ensure more mods, bigger battles with lower statted individual NPCs, and more immersive roleplay in and around the town.
In order to get this to work, we will be posting lists of registered NPCs and PCs on our boards that will be updated frequently. We will add new PC slots as we get NPC registrations. If you are going to NPC PLEASE REGISTER. This is very important to ensure the maximum number of PC open slots. The best way to ensure that you get one of the open spots is to Pre-register and Pre-logist. It helps you and us cut down logistics lines and gets you in game faster.
For further enticement, we will be upping our NPC compensation and providing new Paragon Racial and Class templates for purchase. These will be posted shortly. If you have any questions on this policy then please feel free to create a thread and ask.

- The Player must have a valid character history submitted to and approved by the plot team one month prior to the use of the Epic Death
- Once activated upon the permanent death of the character, the Player is considered an NPC and must not in any way disclose the pending permanent death of the character to any other players or characters, in-game or out of game.
- The player must not dramatically alter the plot in any way by taking actions the character wouldn’t normally take, or by giving out their belongings, etc. For all intents and purposes, the character must act as normal, as if they had resurrected successfully.
How It Works:
- When a character resurrects and pulls from the bag of chance, if they pull the “Death Stone” and are consequently now permanently dead, they must inform the Healer’s Guildmaster, (or whoever is handling the resurrection logistically out of game), that they would like to use their Epic Death. The Guildmaster will then immediately inform the plot team of this. Both the Player and the Guildmaster must keep this information private and by no means are they allowed to inform other players of the use of the Epic Death.
- Once the plot team has been informed, the player and Guildmaster will now finish the resurrection process as if the character resurrected successfully. The player must act as they normally would had they resurrected successfully.
- From the moment the “Death Stone” is pulled, the character is now considered an NPC. Any attempt on the Player’s part to abuse or misuse this policy will result in a permanent death scenario of the plot teams choosing that will Not be Epic.
- The player will now continue to play the character as they normally would until the plot team provides an Epic scenario that will lead to the character’s permanent demise. The plot team will ensure that the player knows when this scenario will either take place, or what to look for. The player will not be informed of all details, to add to the epic flavor of the death. The Epic Death will most likely take place prior to the next logistics period, however, No Later than the end of the current event.
- The player must then “allow” or “sacrifice” the character to whatever Epic Death Scenario the plot team provides for them, based on the Player’s character history. The Player will not have say in what happens during the Epic Death. (Remember, this is a privilege!)
- Once the Epic Death Scenario is completed, the Player may be requested to go through the Resurrection process as normal, however the bag of chance will be stacked with 10 “Death Stones”. No matter the outcome of the Epic Death Scenario, the character will permanently die at the current event as per the original failed resurrection.
Notes:
- If a player purchases an Epic Death for a character and that character permanently dies in a manner that the player is happy with, the player may choose to apply the Epic Death to another character, provided that character meets the same requirements stated above. There will be no additional charge to transfer the Epic Death.
- The purpose of this policy is to provide a more customized means of death for a character. To that end, the player must remember this is a privilege and therefore may be revoked should the above requirements not be met.
- Secrecy in regards to when an Epic Death is activated is of the utmost importance. We don’t want players activating their Epic Death and while waiting for the scenario to play out, give out their items and possessions, or telling that big bad NPC all about the towns plans, etc. In doing so, the character will be permanently killed in a far less than Epic manner and the Epic Death will be considered used.
Disclaimers:·
- This policy may be removed from the Alliance NH Chapter at any time, should it be that any issues caused to the game or the Alliance Rules System outweighs the intention of the policy.
- This policy in NO WAY reverses the permanent death of a character. It is intended solely to enhance the permanent death of said character.
Paragon Packages-Deadlands now offers three different types of Paragon packages for players to purchase during our events. They are designed to add extra flavor to the game and to reward our players for donating their time and support to our chapter and immersing themselves into our stories. These packages will be adjusted and tweaked as needed over the season as we see how they function in the game and how they are received. Announcements will be made as adjustments occur.
The three different package options are racial, class, and plot/elemental based. Descriptions for each group of packages are given with their sections. Players may purchase racial and class based packages that align with their characters race and class. Elemental packages may only be purchased by players who have plot's permission to do so. These are designed to add spice to the plot that a player has become involved in. All players are welcome to access the elemental packages, but must do so through discussion with plot and through in-game actions before being able to use them.
If you have any questions regarding these packages, please send an email to deadlandsgm@gmail.com and we will help you out.
When pre-logisting, there is a section on the form for Paragon packages. If you intend to purchase a package for the upcoming event, please indicate your intentions and which package you'd like to purchase in that section so logistics can plan accordingly.
Below are the goblin stamp costs and descriptions of the different packages available for purchase during our events.
Cost Structures
Racial Paragon:
Tier 1 = 150 goblin stamps
Tier 1 & 2 = 300 goblin stamps
Tier 1, 2 & 3 = 450 goblin stamps
Maximum purchase for a weekend is one Tier 3 package.
Martial Paragon
Each Package = 200 goblin stamps
Maximum purchase for a weekend is three packages (one of each, no duplicates)
Elemental Touched
(If interested in playing with these packages, please discuss your options with Plot. These packages can only be purchased with plot approval.)
Prime Power = 300 goblin stamps (can only be purchased once an event)
Major Power = 200 goblin stamps (can be purchased multiple times an event)
Minor Power = 100 goblin stamps (can be purchased multiple times an event)
The intention of the packages is that they are predominantly to be considered extensions of the purchaser's own skills, as opposed to ritual effects. In all cases the limited use abilities (and penalties where applicable) provided by the paragon packages reset at logistics just like build bought skills. Any paragon ability that offers a choice may be re-chosen at that time.
The only exception to this is the 6 high magic points provided by elf tier 3, as high magic points are awarded for a 5-day period. It should be noted that the 6 points are intended to last a two day event, and a longer or shorter event would incur a commensurately larger or smaller yield.
Paragon Package Descriptions:
Racial Paragon Paths
As a Paragon of one's race, a player may purchase ascending Tiers of paragon-hood, with the cost increasing by tier. A player who purchases a higher tier must also purchase the lower tier(s). (If you purchase a tier 2 package you must also purchase the tier 1 package; the list cost reflects both purchases.) Wylderkin who purchase higher than Tier 1 may select a single Tier 1 ability and a single Tier 2 ability, but do not gain the Tier 1 ability from their Tier 2 selection.
Players may only purchase the paragon package of their own race.

Elemental Touched
These powers may only be purchased with the approval of Plot. To accept an Elemental Touch is to have your character fundamentally altered; he is marked as a champion of the element that has touched his spirit, and is blessed with the powers of that plane. We highly encourage any interested players to contact plot and interact with the different plot pieces that go out at our events. We like it when people play with our plot!
Elemental Touched may purchase a single use of Prime powers, and any number of Minor and Major powers. Powers with spoken incantations take the form of spells (which must be cast and treated as if they were memorized spells).
Foundation Elemental Powers
Flame
Elder Dragon's Breath (Flame Prime - Evocation) - The user channels the primal flame that exists within the heart of all dragons. The user must plant his feet and not move for the duration of the spell; if the user moves his feet, the spell ends. Upon activation, the user's armor is immediately breached, and any temporary armor points are removed. Additionally, the user becomes immune to Healing and to Protection/Enhancement, and any lingering effects from either or both of those schools are dispelled. The user may then cast an infinite number of Dragon's Breath spells by reciting the full incantation ("I call forth a Dragon's Breath"), and does not require or expend any Dragon's Breath spells in memory. At the completion of the spell, the user immediately drops to -1 Body and is dying, and his immunity to Healing and Protection/Enhancement is removed. Incantation - I call forth the ancient wyrm 1, 2, 3...
Purchasing this power enhances the character's connection to their elemental mark, conferring a Planar Asylum to the plane of Flame and causing them to take double damage from Ice.

Frozen Fortress (Prime - Eldritch Force): May only be purchased once.
The frozen winds of the Plane offer the user three layers of defense against the enemies of Ice and Water. Upon activation, all three effects occur simultaneously. First and most immediately, the user freezes himself in a solid block of ice. This power acts as a self-cast Prison, exactly as the spell. Secondly, the user immediately gains 50 temporary armor points, as crystals of ice freeze to his skin and act as a barrier against further damage. This armor is expended before any existing armor, and cannot be replenished in any way. Lastly, the user gains a burst pool of 100 Elemental Ice, exactly like the high magic ability. This burst pool does not add to wand damage, and does not stack with any existing burst pools including others gained from Ice-Touched abilities. Incantation - Elemental Prison.

Once the user has cast five Death spells or if he ends the spell early by moving, he suffers the effect of a Death spell as if touch cast and accepted.
Incantation: 3 count: "I call forth oblivion 1..."
Purchasing this power enhances the character's connection to their elemental mark, conferring a Planar Asylum to the plane of Death and causing them to need two Life spells to recover from being dead. Rebirth counts as one life spell.

To activate this ability on another character, the user must spend at least thirty seconds roleplaying an appropriate scene with the recipient, after which the effect of the ability must be explained. During the scene, the user must say the phrase "I restore your perfect form." To activate this ability on oneself, the user must meditate for 30 seconds and may take no other actions.
