\page # Foreword Greetings to all reading this. I would first like to state that, once again, many of the terms and such in this work belong to RoosterTeeth, and that the system has been built up on top of the Pathfinder Roleplaying System, created by Paizo Publishing. At most, I adapted a number of things from RoosterTeeth's show, RWBY, into the tabletop system, converting what I could into the system. Once again, I do NOT own anything that is relating to either company. ## Background Starting out as passion project for Dungeons and Dragons 3.5 Edition, I originally started to translate the characters into classes. Starting over six years ago with Ruby's 'Red' Trailer, my first goal was to create Ruby as a class. This continued as the rest of the trailers and episodes came out, adding Weiss, Blake, Adam, Yang, the Malachite Sisters, and Neopolitan. As I delved into other campaigns, some of my own very poorly run systems, mainly from other anime in an attempt to convert as many things as I could, I decided to adapt the RWBY cast into Pathfinder, and then after that, use a brand new system. After playing a number of systems, from Dungeons and Dragons of all kinds to Mutants and Masterminds to Star Wars: Edge of the Empire, I wanted to make something that had a number of different things, and could grab at the essence of the show itself. The Base Attack progression of Dungeon and Dragons and Pathfinder had a rather slow and forced a number of maximum attacks, so I added in the Number of Attacks system. Some skills needed to be removed as well, such as the magic themed ones, and replaced with ones that fit the world, mainly for Dust use. As the show came out, and delved more into some deeper aspects, I quickly learned just adding a few things onto a preexisting system wouldn't just be a sound plan. Having to figure out how the combat in the show went, and how to incorporate Dust and Semblances, which evolved into a pseudo-magic system, involving its own meter to gauge for Dust and HP Cost for Semblance. The lack of rolling, aside from a d20, was done to help quicken the pace of combat, and to prevent questions like 'how much does this attack do at this level?' and things of the such. ## A Special Thanks As stated, a special thanks is needed to all of my friends who put up with my countless campaigns that started and never finished due to whatever reasons, and my endless rambling about Dungeons and Dragons in a nutshell, even more so about RWBY when it came out. Even more, thanks to everyone I forced to proofread this thing over and over and figure out what errors I made, and what things I left out. With constant rambling about it, I feel like there should be something more than just a 'thanks for dealing with me' section in this, but I feel that this is all that I can really do. Another thanks and mention to two of my friends, Rob and Chrissy for designing a character sheet from scratch, so we wouldn't have to use pencil and paper to keep track of everything. ## The Included Campaign In this PDF, I added in a campaign that I hope can teach people how to play the system. With Teams RWBY and JNPR being made, the story is a bit of a retelling of the Grimm Eclipse game, and as such, takes place in an unspecified time in Volume Two of the show. Intended to be 'pick up and play', all of the characters in the two Teams are premade and ready to go at a moment's notice, with EXP given to upgrade them as the player sees fit. However, little is actually written on the campaign itself about in terms of map, dialogue, and overall presentation other than a rough draft of the story, and certain key events. This is made to prevent metagaming, as stated in the Campaign Module itself, and to allow a Dungeon Master's creativity to come out more, and allow the Dungeon Master to somewhat better tailor the campaign to what characters were picked, and allow them a chance to always make it out of a sticky situation, aside possibly from combat if things are very hectic. ## Another Note One last thing to note in this PDF, is that there will be some spoilers about the show itself, and it is as updated as frequently I can to keep it as accurate as possible. A warning to all of those reading this, spoilers are abound, and due to how far one is in RWBY, it could be on any page, so marking all major ones would be very hard. All I say is to please, read at your own risk. And all pictures included are not mine. They are credited to the best of my ability, and if a piece of artwork is credited to the wrong person, please tell me, and have some proof to back it up, such a link to the direct post, and I will happily change it. Also, if you would like to get in contact with me to ask questions, suggest your own things to add to the various lists, to point out various errors and such, or whatever else I forgot, please feel free to contact me at ryan.tacoronte@gmail.com, or on Discord at Mezner#4910. I will try to get back to these as soon as I can, and edit things as I see fit based on requests and such.

CMB and CMD must still be removed, and the Dust Section must be updated to a mild degree to reflect upon the new changes to the Dust System.

\page # Creating your Character ## Reading the Sheet Before making a character, there are a number of different stats to remember. A Character has the same six core stats as most other tabletop systems: Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma. After there, each player has their three Saving Throws: Fortitude, Reflex, and Will. The final section is Base Attack Bonus, Base Defense Bonus and Number of Actions. After that, all players have their Aura, this universe's Hit Point System, as well as the list of skills, which will be listed in the later section, and an explination of each. The other two sheets contains sections for Feats, Semblance Abilities, any Unique traits, and finally, the two flaws of the characters. ## Starting Off Players have the option of choosing whether to be Human or a Faunus. Both races start with 200 Aura, and it increases 10 points per modifier in the Player's Constitution Modifier. Each race will determine their starting bonus stats, as all Players start with a 12 in all of their six stats. Humans recieve a single +2 to one stat, while Faunus gain two +2's to two different stats, but a -2 to a single stat. The player and Dungeon Master both discuss which ones are the affected stat. For example, a Feline Faunus may have a +2 Dexterity and +2 Charisma, and a -2 Strength, because cats are quick and lithe hunters (Dexterity), and everyone seems to love cats (Charisma), but they are not the strongest of fighters (Strength); However, another player who has selected a Feline Faunus can select a +2 Constitution and +2 Intelligence, and -2 Charisma, because cats can seemingly recover from very high falls and 'have nine lives' (Constitution), and they are smart hunters (Intelligence), but aren't too popular because people see them as ill omens (Charisma). After that is done, a player starts on their three Saves. They are given four points to put into the three scores. A Player can do any combination they see fit, and once selected, the players add the appropriate modifier to their saves, Constitution to Fortitude, Dexterity to Reflex, and Wisdom to Will. All of the Saves start with a base of 1. Following next is Base Attack Bonus, and Base Defense Bonus. These two stats are given a total of five points, and the player may distrubute them as they see fit to build off into a balanaced fighter, an offense heavy one, or a defense heavy one. After this choice is made, the player must next pick what they will use to fight. Base Attack Bonus adds either the player's Strength or Dexterity modifier, and once chosen cannot be changed. Based on the weapon, some Dungeon Masters may force a specific stat onto them, such as all two handed weapons being Strength required, or light weapons such as Daggers requiring Dexterity. The same is then selected for Base Defense Bonus. However, the player must pick from either Constitution, or the stat that was not chosen for attacking. For example, if the player opted for Strength for Base Attack Bonus, they cannot pick it for Base Defense Bonus. While not entirely important, one way to look at the Defense stats and how they work is this: Strength based defense players attack against the attacker, swinging their weapons to block. Dexterity based defense players parry and dodge their way out of attacks, and Constitution based defense players, or shield fighters, will throw their weapons into the attack and stand firm against the attack. And finally, Number of Actions. A Player only starts off with three actions. A Player may have as many Actions as they wish. These actions is the total of everything a Player can do in any situation in which action is required, such as Combat or during a chase scene. Movement, attacking, using a Skill such as Perception or Acrobatics, using Dust, getting an item from their person, and reloading are all examples of uses for Number of Actions. The Dungeon Master has final verdict on what is and isn't a use of the Number of Actions total. The Player starts with a total of 200 Aura before any upgrades. They have a base Land Movement Speed of 30ft, or 6 Squares, all other speeds are deteremined by Dungeon Master Fiat. Players are a Medium Size, which is described more in the Grimm Section of the PDF. ## Leveling Up Players are awarded EXP, usually at Dungeon Master discression. However, when starting a campaign, all players gain 300 EXP in order to properly build a character without the need of requiring the Dungeon Master to give them missions to do. EXP may only be spend in safe areas, such as the school or town. * 5 EXP gives the player 5 Aura. * 10 EXP gives the player 5 Skill Points. * 15 EXP gives the player a +1 to their Fortitude, Reflex, or Will. * 20 EXP gives the player a +1 to their Base Attack Bonus or Base Defense Bonus. * 50 EXP gives the player +1 Number of Actions. * 50 EXP gives the player a +1 to either their Strength, Dexterity, Constituion, Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma. * 60 EXP gives the player +5ft, or 1 Square to any speed they have. * 100 EXP gives the player the ability to upgrade an existing Semblance Skill. * 150 EXP gives the player the ability to create a new Semblance Ability. * Feats are worth a set value of EXP, or if one is not listed in the book, the Player and Dungeon Master must discuss the cost for all players.

\page ## Modifiers Mentioned before, and many times later in this system, will be Score Modifiers. The following is a short way to understand what number means which modifier. Starting at 10, the modifier is a +0, meaning an Ability Score with a 10 adds nothing to the roll, unless from other sources, such as a high Save. At a 12, the Modifier becomes a +1, a 14 is a +2 and so on. Modifiers increase by a +1 for every 2 points the Modifier increases, and decreases the same amount, so an 8 is a -1, to a 1, which is a -5. For higher numbers, to find the modifier, you cut the score in half, ignoring the decimal if there is one, and subtracting 5. So, an Ability Score of 40 has a Modifier of a 15, as 40 divided by 2 is 20, and 20 minus 5 is 15. ## Different Kinds of People While the differences between Human and Faunus are very different, there are a number of pros and cons for both, though it mainly comes down to how the Dungeon Master uses them. As a Human, players do not normally start with anything interesting or special, however, Dungeons Masters are inclined to supply them with some sort of bonuses, either to Skills or minor unobtainable abilities or feats, based on where they were born, such as students normally from Atlas being able to withstand cold temperatures better, or students from Shade being much more sharper eyed and silver tongued, giving them a free bonus to Bluff and Perception checks. As a Faunus, it is up to the Dungeon Master and player determine what would be good to give the player. However, no matter the kind of Faunus they are, all Faunus receive Night Vision/Dark Vision. Other Faunus traits are determined by their type. For example, Feline Faunus may have Claws as well as their Unarmed Strike damage, and a Climb speed of 20ft, Bird Faunus would have a Flight Speed, and Snake Faunus might have a swim speed. Humans and Faunus can both bare a child together. Children born with a Human and a Faunus parent won't always share the traits of the Faunus parent. There is a fifty percent chance that the child will be born a full human, or a full Faunus. If a Human, then they have no Faunus based traits, such as Night Vision. If a child is born between two Faunus of the same kind, example being two Tiger Faunus, then the child will be a Tiger Faunus. However, if a child is born between two different Faunus, such as a Zebra and a Crow, then the child can become any sort of Faunus. Another part of being a Faunus comes with, based on how the player looks at it, a boon or a bane. All Faunus are born with one physical trait based on their animal. For example, a Wolf Faunus might be born with sharp claws, giving them a Claw attack, a Deer Faunus might be born with small antlers, and a Bird Faunus might be born with wings, allowing them to fly. Years ago, a war broke out between the Four Kingdoms, dubbed the Great War. During this time, many Faunus were abused as cheap labor, and 'fodder' for soldiers in combat. After the Great War, due to their part in the war, Faunus were given full rights as Humans did, and given their own land, Menagrie, to claim home to. ## Salutaions! Now, as people who watch RWBY know, there is one more kind of 'race' that is not listed: Robot. Originally done as only Penny Poldendia, the option to start as one if available, to the players, if the Dungeon Master allows it. Character creation for playing a 'Penny' or 'Proto-Penny' style character follows the same rules as other characters, however the player starts with 16 in Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution, and a 6 in Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma, showing their high physical might, yet lack of proper personality due to their robotic nature. A Robot character should be given more chances to increase their Mental stats by engaging in conversation, and have a slightly harder time to increase their Physical stats. As an artificial being, a Robot's Aura is just as them: Artificial. Despite that, it follows the same logic as other Players, and follows the same rules as Humans and Faunus. Their Semblance is also artificial, though as per the players, it follows the same rules. But, Robot players have the option to start with more Semblances. An internal selection of systems create different effects that mimic Semblances. A Robot player starts with two Semblances, but can pay 100 EXP to start with another Semblance, rolling and picking as many Semblances as they have slots. Despite having multiple Semblances, the Robot player has to manually change them, usually done with a subtle movement or button somewhere on their body which is easy to hide, such as a switch behind the ear, triggered when they 'tuck hair behind their ear', or a small button on their arm that is triggered when they 'scratch their arm'. For Flaws, some Dungeon Masters might enforce certain ones, such as child-like behaviors, a stern following of rules and orders, or ignoring certain actions done by others. However, the Player should be allowed to veto some of these if they feel the Flaw is too strict or limiting. The above example of flaws usually comes from the Robot player's creator(s).

\page ## Flaws No one's perfect, despite what they say, or how they play their character. A player must have two flaws, and they can be general, or specific, though a Dungeon Master should look them over and review them, as some players might try to sneak around this by making very, very rare or hard to trigger flaws. Some players who have a single, very general Flaw, such as 'My Character suffers from the stereotypical Napoleon Complex', is something that could qualify as two flaws due to what it is. Humans can use whatever flaws they see fit, same as Faunus, but Faunus have an easier time, as most flaws can be done based on what kind of Faunus they are. A Raven Faunus might have the flaws 'Holds grudges too long' and 'very easily distracted by shiny objects', while a Human could have the flaws of 'Suffering from Tunnel Vision in combat, targeting one enemy only', and 'Honor before all else while in combat'. It is recommended to let players pick a 'Social' and a 'Combat' Flaw in order to the player not to be locked up in combat, or locked up in a social experience. As time goes on, Players may be able to change their Flaws, based on how they have grown as a person, as views do change in life. The Dungeon Master and Player must agree when the time is right to allow the Player to change Flaws, and what to replace it with, as Players still need two Flaws. Despite needing to have two flaws, Players may opt for more at Character Creation only. During creation, and with Dungeon Master permission, a Player may take either one or two extra Flaws on top of the two they are required to have. Each extra flaw they take gives the Player an extra 50 EXP to use at the start of the campaign. Players are allowed to select more than just those two extra, but anything past those total four Flaws do not provide any more EXP. Dungeon Masters can change the EXP given per extra Flaw, if any.

Credit: RoosterTeeth ## Mythos All major characters within the world of RWBY are modeled somewhat on a number of real world sources. They are primarily from real world people of great positive or negative influence, such as warriors, politicians, and many people in history who have been deemed 'the first, most important, or founding' for a specific field of work; religious aspects from any religion, such as god/desses, demi-gods, humans of journeys and tales, legendary weapons, or even monsters and beasts; and fairy tales as well, with the most common being the stories of the Grimm Brothers. All major NPCs should be based on one of the above three criteria. Players should use their mythos to somewhat base themselves off of, even to a small degree such as personality, weapon, goals, or flaws. Not everything needs to be based on that myth, and for example, a Player who is based on the stories of King Arthur could be based on King Arthur himself, Excalibur, Merlin, or one of the Knights of the Round Table, to list a few. With that list, the player may opt to take on some of the personality of any of the listed characters, a flaw from them, or to base off their fighting style. All of these are merely examples, however, the Player must take some features off of their Mythos to be used for their personality, or their Semblance. ## Driving Lessons? In the world of Remnant, cars are abundant, and most players will be starting at the age range of 16 though 18, meaning players might have a driver's license. A quick and effective way is to have a player roll a d20 and call odds or evens. A success means the player knows how to drive, failure means learner's permit. Players are then allowed a second roll of odds or evens again. Success allows the player to pick one other kind of simple vehicle to learn, such as a motorcycle, a small boat, or a truck. If they fail this roll, they keep their driver's license. ## The Silver Eyed Warriors Silver Eyed Warriors were once great hunters, and rumored to be beings of deities, fearlessly wading through hordes of Grimm, killing them without so much as lifting a finger. A strong, unwavering power, the power of the Silver Eyed Warriors are said to be from the god of light himself, a tool to end the Grimm with ease. Their eyes can only use their true power near Grimm, and only under certain cases. A Silver Eyed Warrior must focus on the desire to protect people, and to keep life safe. It is NOT a weapon or tool to make ends meet, it is a desire to uphold life and protect the innocent and weak, so those who cannot understand that factor will never be able to use their gift.

\page ## The Maidens Rumors tell of four women who have been around since the dawn of man. They control powers that no man could ever hope to, not even with Remnant's most skilled masters in Semblance and Dust control. The Four Maidens control magic, which in Remnant equates to 'Using multiple Semblances without a Semblance'. Only four can exist at one time, and upon dying, the dying Maiden's powers are transferred to the last person in their thoughts. While the rule of thumb is that all Maidens are women, rarely will a male be chosen as a Maiden. The Four Maidens are named after the four seasons: Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter.

Credit: RoosterTeeth As with the Silver Eyed Warriors, having a Player as a Maiden is a very risky move for the Dungeon Master. The Player can effectively mimic a number of Semblance skills without the cost of Aura. Unlike the Silver Eyed Warriors, there are no outside appearances that one is a Maiden. The only known sight is when their powers are active, creating a fiery look around their eyes. Even without their Aura, a Maiden can still use her Maiden Powers.

Credit: RoosterTeeth ## The Naming Rule At one point in time, humanity all agreed on one aspect of life: Naming their children. They agreed one one rule, and all people born after that rule follow it, and pass it down along the generations. The rule, or law, there really is no set tone for it, is that everyone's name is to follow one of the following four rules: * The name must be a Color. * The name must sound like a Color. * The name must mean a Color. * The name must make one think of a Color. As long as the first name follows one of those four rules, then the name is fine. ## Languages of Remnant While the World of Remnant is a fictional world, thanks to the Naming Rule, the many different languages of the world are highly present. Despite using these words, proper pronunciation might not apply. For example, Weiss Schnee, despite having her name rooted in the German Weiß, for white, her name is pronounced with a W sound, not a V, so it is read and spoken 'Weiss', not 'Veiss'. However, other names might follow the proper pronunciation, but all names do not have to follow it. When starting, a player starts with 'Common', or English (or whatever the mother tongue of the actual players is, such as Spanish for Spain). Players gain one language per Intelligence Modifier at creation, and can only gain more through Linguistics. Every rank grants a player a new Language. Sign Language and Lip Reading are acceptable languages to learn. ## The Lands of Remnant The world of RWBY is in a world called Remnant. Broken into five continents, humanity can be found living in all but one, the dragon shaped one in the Northwest of Remnant.

\page ##### Vacuo

Credit: RoosterTeeth Once a vibrant oasis and Remnant's largest stockpile of underground Dust, Vacuo was a thriving settlement, full of traveling merchants and people. However, due to it's prosperity, Vacuo was attacked time after time again, exploited by the other lands of Remnant, as well as their own people. Falling quickly down into ruin, Vacuo became a harsh wasteland where only the strong survive. Despite this, Vacuo is home to Shade Academy, and the only true space of law and safety in the entire Kingdom. Even then, most people tend to ignore the law, and stick to their guns with the 'Only the strong survive' mentality, and welcome anyone who can survive with open arms. ##### Vale

Credit: u/adeafblindman Vale is a highly safe Kingdom, nestled with it's back to the very shallow waters of the ocean, and surrounded by dense forest and sprawling mountain ranges. Once with a large expanse of land, Vale had to draw back and focus in the Kingdom itself, with a well known settlement, known as the Mountain Glenn, being destroyed by the Grimm. Also, somewhere off the coast of Vale, lies the island that was once home to the mad scientist Dr. Merlot and his horde of Grimm experiments. Vale is home to a few well known forests, the two most well known of all being the Emerald Forest and Forever Fall, both being used a number of times for Students in Beacon Academy. ``` ``` #### Anima Anima is the eastern most continent. A mixing pot of Asian and European cultures, Anima is well known for markets and it's wide variety of landscapes, ranging from mountains to swamps to sheer cliffs all within the same handful of miles. It is also known for Lake Matsu, the large body of water in the center of Anima, with floating islands held aloft by Gravity Dust. ##### Mistral

Credit: RoosterTeeth While located on the second largest continent, Mistral controls the most land, as Sanus is split between control of Vacuo and Vale. While the upper class of Mistral is known for it's wealth and high fashion, the dregs of society work as thieves, assassins, and overall underhanded individuals. As yet another parallel, the upper class is well known for it's arts to the world, such as architecture and theater, while it is also home to Remnant's biggest black market. Mistral is home to two notable Academies: Sanctum and Haven. While Sanctum is on the map, it plays a back role to Haven Academy, the most well known of the Academies in Mistral. #### Solitas The northern most continent, and the coldest one at that, Solitas is the only continent with so few Grimm, it might as well be listed as zero Grimm. Harsh conditions forced the people of the land to adapt quickly to survive. As such, Solitas is the leading producer of Dust and Dust Technology after the fall of Sanus, and Vacuo's surplus.

\page ##### Mantle The now defunct Kingdom, it has been succeeded by the Kingdom of Atlas. ##### Atlas

Credit: RoosterTeeth The capital of Dust and all technology of Remnant, Atlas rules the land from up north, protected from Grimm by it's sheer cold. That sheer cold has lead the people of Atlas to be well hardened, forming some of the best military in Remnant as well. The production of it's military arms, such as armor and weapons, were bolstered even more by the production of automated soldiers, called the Atlesian Knight, power armors dubbed the Paladin, and even Penny Polendina, a robot with a fully artificial aura. It is safe to say, Atlas holds the strongest military might on the land, in the skies, or on the seas. However, just like all of the other Kingdoms, Atlas does have it's fair share of dirty laundry... The talk about Artificial Auras bring up moral issues, and with the development of a prototype machine to drains and transfer Aura once again strikes a hammer down on morality issues. #### Menagerie

Credit: RoosterTeeth The home of the Faunus. Sitting in the southeastern corner of Remnant, Menagerie is the name of both the continent and the 'Kingdom'. Not a true Kingdom under any circumstance, Menagerie was a gift to the Faunus for aiding in the Great War. Coupled with it, Faunus were given full rights. However, the continent is nearly inhospitable. over two-thirds of it is covered in harsh, barren wastelands and deserts, and mostly the fringes of the continent are able to support life. With how tight knit the Faunus are, they live in bustling lives, with open air markets and the hustle of big cities. Menagerie is also home of the White Fang, the most well known Faunus Rights group in all of Remnant. ## Vytal Listed separate than the others, Vytal is an island to the north of Vale. On this island, the Great War came to an end, and a peace treaty was made. The concept of Huntsmen, Huntresses, and the Academies to train them was born here as well. In a symbol of this new found peace, and part of the treaty, every two years, a grand festival known as the Vytal Festival. A collaboration of the Four Kingdoms, the Vytal Festival was a place for people to gather and celebrate the peace between the Kingdoms with grand parties, and most importantly, the Vytal Festival Tournament, a grant tournament were teams from all of the Academies fight for the glory of their school. Every two years, the Festival rotates between each of the Kingdoms, and all people are welcome to embrace the Festival. ## Staying in Contact With how spread out the Kingdoms are, and with how many different schools there are, all Four Kingdoms must keep in contact with for the Vytal Festival, and many other official reasons. With this in mind, Atlas built a number of towers across the lands, and one major one for every Kingdom, however Menagerie does not have one. These towers are CCT Towers, used to keep communication access for scrolls open, and store the masses of information public to the world. Linked together, if one of the Towers fall, then the other three CCT Towers will have issues trying to stay connected. In real world parallels, CCT Towers are equivalent to cell phone towers that just span across most, if not all, of the continent. To stay in contact, all students are given Scrolls, equivalent to modern day cell phones. More than just phones, Scrolls are small, pocket sized devices that do all things modern day phones can, but also other things, such as controllers for video games and wireless stat readings for various machines, even able to read off Aura for certain people, which this function is almost always used for Academies and safety reasons, allowing the Teams and Faculty to safely monitor Aura. Despite their uses, all Scrolls seem to come in many different sizes, and they can compact into roughly the size of a modern day cell phone, but can expand to roughly the size of a modern day handheld game console. Very durable, Scrolls are able to survive the wear and tear from combat at the various Academies, and even while out in the field undergoing missions.

\page ## The White Fang Founded by Ghira Belladonna, the White Fang is a group founded under the principle for Faunus rights throughout Remnant. A once peaceful movement, the White Fang promoted a harmony between humans and Faunus in an attempt to show that Faunus deserve all of the same rights of humans do after the Great War and Faunus Right Movement. However, after Ghira Belladonna stepped down as leader, the White Fang slowly turned into a more hostile group, primarily attacking anti-Faunus activists and the likes.

Credit: RoosterTeeth Under the eye of Ghira Belladonna, the White Fang was formed after the Faunus Civil Rights Protest. It was a way for the Faunus to use their voice to still prove that they are equals to Humans. It consisted of peaceful protests, rallies and boycotts to make their ends meet. However, these methods proved ineffective and eventually Ghira stepped down from his position as Leader due to active antagnization and criticism against him, understanding that his ways wouldn't work, as the White Fang wished for more active ways to get their message heard.

Credit: RoosterTeeth ``` ``` Now under the watchful eye of Sienna Khan, the White Fang want from a peaceful protest group, to a militant group. Instead of peace, they now wish for Humans to fear them, which in part has happened. The White Fang gained their respect, and use that fear to continue their plans, which ranges from 'Faunus are equal to Humans' to 'Humans should be exterminated'. Characterized by their white masks, which are modeled after the faces of Grimm, the White Fang keep their identity a secret when undergoing their acts of 'acquiring rights', but other members do not seem to hide their appearance when taking on other roles, such as public speaking, information gathering, or other non-violent roles. Currently, the White Fang is known throughout Remnant for their once peaceful past, and now muddled with it's actions. While a lot of people understand their cause, and support the true meaning of it...Faunus Rights...they don't agree by their current means, and have somewhat come to terms with the current status of the White Fang, and hope that their ways can change.

\page # Skills ## The Core List All players gain access to the same skills, it is just up to them to determine how they would want to build them. From there, the players should try to fill in for each others' weaknesses and shore them up, while still making sure not to define their Skill section by being nothing but a Skill based character, unless they so choose. The skills and their respective Modifiers are: * Acrobatics (Dexterity) * Athletics (Strength) * Bluff (Charisma) * Craftx2 (Intelligence) * Computers (intelligence) * Diplomacy (Charisma) * Disable Device (Dexterity) * Disguise (Charisma) * Drive (Dexterity) * Dust Use (Intelligence) * Escape Artist (Dexterity) * Fly (Dexterity) * Handle Animal (Charisma) * Intimidate (Charisma) * Knowledges: Dust, Grimm, Geography, History, Local, Military, Nature, Technology (All Separate Skills) (Intelligence) * Linguistics (Intelligence) * Medicine (Intelligence) * Perception (Wisdom) * Performx2 (Charisma) * Repair (Intelligence) * Ride (Dexterity) * Sense Motive (Wisdom) * Sleight of Hand (Dexterity) * Stealth (Dexterity) * Survival (Wisdom) ## Selecting Skills When creating a character, a player selects eight skills. Those are their tagged skills, and are considered Trained in those skills, meaning players with those tagged skills can do other things others can't, or at least do them easier than other people. Players are also allowed to pick more tagged skills based on their Intelligence Modifier, which is usually either one or two extra skills. Each of those skills are then given two free skill ranks to start them out, and then the player receives their Intelligence Modifier as free skill points to add to skills that are NOT tagged skilled. While gaining more skill ranks, a player is limited in how many they can put into a select skill at any given time. All skills may have a minimum of 2 skill ranks, no matter what the player's Modifier is. An untagged skill can only have two times the skill's assigned stat's modifier, while a tagged skill can have three times. A Player with 14 Dexterity has a +2 Modifier, and has Acrobatics as a Tag Skill, and no other Dexterity skill. They may put up to 6 Skill Ranks into Acrobatics, but only up to 4 ranks in any other Dexterity skill. ## Using Skills All skills have their uses, and while the list above can cover a vast majority of situations that the players can come across, if needed, new skills can be added to the list. ### Strength Strength only ties in with Athletics for skills, but is needed for a player's ability to attack or defend. As weight is not much of an issue in terms of gear and such, Strength taxes can be rather lax, though a person may carry is 15 times their total Strength Score. * Athletics: Used for more labor intensive feats of strength, such as swimming, climbing, carrying, and pushing. Certain checks from Acrobatics can be instead used as an Athletics Checks, and vice versa. ### Dexterity Dexterity holds claim over a number of different skills, many of which require finer body movement or swift actions. * Acrobatics: Used for quick actions, such as jumping, tumbling, balancing, and evasive actions. A safe bet of not knowing when a skill requires sudden movements, Acrobatics is a safe bet if Reflex is not applicable. * Disable Device: Almost always requring tools, this skill can also be used under Intelligence if required, but overall Disable Device settles to locks and the like, requiring finer movements of the hands. * Drive: Rather limited, Drive is used solely for driving vehicles. Whether this is a tagged skill or not, a player who can drive can use this skill. * Escape Artist: This skill can be used for a few things, but as the name suggests: to escape. This skill can substitute a certain number of required rolls to escape grapples or pins, and used to escape from bindings such as rope. * Fly: Used only for characters who can fly, Fly is used instead of Acrobatics while they are flying, or to push one's flying limits with hairpin turns. * Ride: While Drive is used for machinery, Ride is used for animals, or can be used to hold onto wildly thrashing objects. * Sleight of Hand: Not just for fancy card tricks, Sleight of Hand can be used as a prerequisite for feats involving quicker reloading, stealing small items, or hiding small objects on one's body. * Stealth: One of the more direct skills too, Stealth is used mainly for hiding oneself, usually in darkness. It can be used to talk in a hushed tone.

\page ### Intelligence Intelligence has a number of skills, but mainly encompass the scope of a player's knowledges. * Craft: Starting with two different crafts, Crafts are minor ways to earn money, or to make new things, such as small trinkets, or even Dust Ammo. What a player can craft must be okayed by the Dungeon Master. * Computers: Used for overall knowledge of computers and electronics of the such, Computers can also be used for hacking into electronics as well. * Dust Use: Defines a player's ability to use Dust effectively in combat. * K. Dust: The total knowledge of how much one knows about Dust, and what someone is doing with it. * K. Grimm: The total knowledge of how much ones knows about Grimm, their strenghts, weaknesses, and any special abilities it might have. * K. Geography: The total knowledge of how much one knows about land and topography. * K. History: The total knowledge of how much one knows about past events. * K. Local: The total knowledge of how much one knows about cities, towns, Human, Faunus, and society. * K. Military: The total knowledge of how much one knows about military, tactics, and other such topics. * K. Nature: The total knowledge of how much one knows about nature, in terms of plantlife and animals. * K. Tehcnology: The total knowledge of how much one knows about technology, past and present. * Linguistics: A person's understanding of words and language, used to learn new languages, and write and decode cyphers. * Medicine: While called Medicine, this skill is mainly field medicine, such as treating poisons, diseases, minor wounds such as caltrop wounds, and short and long term care. * Repair: Usually requiring tools as well, Repair is as it sounds: fixing cars, machines and other mechanical devices. ### Wisdom Encompassing only three skills, Wisdom digs into a player's instinctive knowledge rather than book knowledge. * Perception: What can be called THE most rolled skill in any tabletop game, Perception is grouped on all five senses, though mostly used for sight or hearing. * Sense Motive: The 'I caught you lying' skill, Sense Motive is rolled mainly to detect lies, or used to scope out the general future actions of whoever one looks at. * Survival: Used for forgaing food, water and shelter, as well as tracking and other 'Outdoorsman' type actions. ### Charisma Charisma holds the speech based skills, or 'Face' skills. * Bluff: The Act of lying in general, or if that is too harsh, then White Lies, Half Truths, or overall Misdirection. * Diplomacy: Used for moderating talks, a successful Diplomacy check is usually good to calm down angry or hostile people, though not for long. It is also used for bargining. * Disguise: While looking the part is important, Disguise is a Charisma skill because one must also act the part, not just look it. * Handle Animal: Not for Grimm, as they are too wild and savage, and mostly mindless monsters bent on killing all humanity, Handle Animal works on most animals that haven't been attacked. This skill groups together calming hostile animals, taming animals, getting smaller animals to work with someone, and other various tricks of the animal trade. * Intimidate: Looking big and scary isn't always the best way to be scary. While this skill can be classed as a Strength based skill, or as a Charisma based skill, Intimidate is used to...intimidate people, or to taunt and goad people. * Perform: With two performs, this skill is mainly used for instruments, dancing, singing, or story telling. While most scenarios might not find a use for it, Perform skills can be used as distractions, or a way to earn some modest money. ## Passive Rolls Not wanting to alert players to upcoming danger, some Dungeon Masters might not elect for a player to roll for a Skill. Instead, the Dungeon Master can opt to use the Passive Roll for the skill. Passive skills are not rolled, and are not told to the players that they are being used, just that certain players might notice something, for example if the Dungeon Master is checking for a Passive Perception. To find any skill's Passive Roll, simply take the combined modifier for skill ranks, associated ability modifier, and miscellaneous modifiers, and add 10 to the number. Using a Passive roll might be an easy way to detemine a skill's effect over the passage of time, mainly for skills such as Craft, Linguistic, and Perform. Players can opt for using a Passive Roll instead of actively rolling, though only if the skill has a much longer time frame that almost immediate, such as spending a day to craft Dust Ammo, or making a hot tub. ## Set Challanges Due to the number of skills, and various challanges they can overcome, a set list of DCs for the various challanges might be rather difficult. However, a rough estimate would be in incraments of 5, starting at DC 10 for most skills. Various modifiers, such as favorable terrain for an Acrobatics check, or having the right tools for a Repair check could add bonuses, while the opposite is true as well, with the modifiers ranging from plus or minus 1 through 5. Some set DCs should be set in stone, usually combat based ones. Others should change based on the surroundings. Climbing a cliff might have a rough DC of 13, but different cliffs could be less steep, making it a DC 6, but a steep cliff with very few handholds could make the cliff a DC 20.

\page ## Saving Face The range of Charisma skills all mention talking and performing actions, but without many examples. When performing a Bluff Check, the Player or NPC rolls, and after totalling up their roll, the Target must then roll against it with the Sense Motive Skill. If the Target fails the roll, the Target believes the lie. Based on how much they failed by, the Target can be instead unsure if it is a lie or the truth. However, if the lie in question is something that is without a doubt unable to be proven wrong or is knowledge the Target knows without question, the Bluff Check in question fails. For knowledge that the Target does not know, the Bluff Check fails. While using Diplomacy, the Player or NPC must roll their Skill as usual, with a set DC of the base 15 plus the Target's Wisdom and Charisma Modifier. A Success means, while the Target isn't instantly pacified, the Target is willing enough to listen to the Diplomacy use before judging the words for themselves. Actions may affect this number at Dungeon Master's discretion. For example, sheathing a weapon could lower the DC to pacify the Target, or having a weapon drawn and aimed at the Target could either raise or lower the DC depending on the situation. In all cases, Diplomacy fails instantly against Grimm. Using multiple Diplomacy checks against the same target within a short amount of time, the DC increases by 3 points each time. Intimidation works following the same rules. The Player or NPC makes their Intimidation Check against the base check of 20 + the Target's Wisdom and Charisma Modifier. If the check fails, the Player or NPC cannot Intimidate the same target again for 24 hours. If the check succeeds, the Target is Shaken for 3 of their Turns. For every 5 points the Player or NPC passes the check, the Shaken duration increases by 1 round. Multiple Intimidation attempts cannot stack, nor can it increase Shaken to Fear, or Fear to Terrified. Once the Shaken Condition has been removed, the Player or NPC may attempt another Intimidation Check again, but the DC is increased by 5 per every additional Intimidate attempt. Grimm are immune to the Intimidation Skill. This is Fear Effect, and if the Target suffers penalties, gains bonuses, or is immune to Fear Effects, they apply to Intimidation Check or DC. Handle Animal is a skill dedicated to the use for animals, not Grimm. As such, it might have some limited uses. However, when dealing with animals, the skill is rather easy to use. Thanks to most, if not all animals, not possessing a high enough intelligence to fully comprehend language, the skill also encompasses body language as well. The Player, when using this skill, rolls their Handle Animal as normal against the set DC. Based on the animal's current emotional state, such as it being angered, indifferent, and excited, the DC can raise or lower. If the animal is in a highly enraged state, Handle Animal might not be used. In certain cases, if the Player is using Handle Animal to calm down a frigthened animal, the Player rolls their Handle Animal skill against the DC of the original source of the fear, with the animal calming down if the Player succeeds. ``` ``` ## Books and Knowledge The Knowledge skills are a lump sum of the Player's knowledges. So, what dictates if a Player would know about a certain topic? Many factors can cause the said knowledge of infortation: Being born in Atlas would give the Player a better Knowledge (Local) of Atlas; having fought many types of Grimm would give a Player a better Knowledge (Grimm) of them; and outdoorsmen would have a better Knowledge (Geography) and/or Knowledge (Nature). With most basic knowledge out of the way, the Players will have to see if they, in fact, know what they want to say they know. When doing so, information DCs should be set in multiples of 5, with the easiest of things starting at 5, and increasing every 5 points. If a Player rolls high enough to cross multple DCs, then they would know all of said information. If a Player rolls 1 point under the next threshold of a Knowledge Check, the Dungeon Master is allowed to state whether the Player has some idea of what the next Check is. For example, Ray tries a Knowledge (Grimm) Check about a Nevermore. His total roll is a 19, meaning his is 1 point under the 20 DC. He learns all there is for the 5, 10, and 15 DCs, which could be whatever the Dungeon Master wishes for him to know, and is allowed to give a vague hint about the DC 20 Knowledge. This knowledge is not strictly linked to one Player. If a Player makes a roll, and information is given, unless the information is specific to that Player, all other Players will know the same thing if they make the same Check and succeed to the same degree as the initial Player.

\page # The Weapons of the Huntsmen and Huntresses ## Made to Order If there is one thing that all students at the Academies need, is their trust weapon. Almost all students opt to pick some sort of weapon to combat the Grimm, and the few that use their fists often suppliment it with weaponry. It is safe to say that the weapon is more of an extension of the Huntsmen or Huntress, than just a tool. To select their weapon, a player must simply pick at least two different weapons. From there, record both stats of the weapon onto the character sheet, preferably a Melee weapon and a Ranged weapon. As a number of ranged weapons do not exist, it is up to the Dungeon Master and the player to discuss what would be the best bet for their Damage, Ammo Capacity, and Range. If a player wants to start with a weapon that has more than two forms, it is up for the Dungeon Master to decide how many, and if they can obtain a new form later with Weapon Upgrade Points. Due to their status as students, players are not expected to pay for upgrades on their weapons, as well as basic maintenance and repairs. However, limiting a student's ability to repair said weapon can be done based on their current location, such as out in the field.

Credit: Unknown ## Dust and Weapons Dust is a key part to every student, no matter what kind of weapon they use. At some point, they will most likely use it. All ranged weapons require the use of Dust that has been drained of it elemental ties to shoot, shooting out the Dust itself out instead of live ammo. Even weapons like rocket launchers and other explosive weaponry, despite their metallic casing, deliver a payload of explosive Dust. All weapons start with access to one Dust vial, and can gain more as the player earns Weapon Upgrade Points. Dust vial slots are gained across all weapons. Dust's key use is ammo, and expending uses to increase the power of the melee strikes. It's other uses in and out of combat are only limited by the player's creativity, the Dungeon Master's ruling, the surrounding area, and how skilled the charatcer is at using Dust. The finer details on using Dust is explained in the Skills section. ## Creating the Weapon When starting, the Player must make their weapon from scratch. In doing so, they create a weapon that is entirely unique on their own. The Player has a total of 20 Weapon Creation Points to use while making their weapon, with the Melee and Ranged Weapon splitting the points evenly. Other factors for weapons may change the amount of weapon forms, and grant smaller Weapon Creation Point pools for them. As many Creation Points as possible must be spent at start, otherwise half of the Points are converted to Weapon Upgrade Points and refunded when the Dungeon Master first gives Weapon Upgrade Points during the campaign. ## Melee Weapons Melee Weapons come in three different forms: Light, Moderate, and Heavy. This is applicable to Melee weapons. * Light: Light weapons are made with a weight reduction in mind. These are mostly daggers and knives, some axes, and some oddities like whips. Light weapons are primarily made for Dexterity Based fighters in mind, and are usually made for Two Weapon Fighting, reducing the penalty by half usually. However, Light Weapons don't allow the Player to use their Attacking Stat Modifier into their second attack per Action. The Light Weapon Form costs 1 Point to make. Light Weapons cannot have a starting Damage higher than an 8, but gain a free Point into Extended Critical Hit Range, and may take the Dual trait for free. Light Weapons are given Agile 3 for free. * Moderate: Also called 'Hand and a Half', Moderate Weapons encompass a great deal of weapons, such as longswords, axes, some polearms, and clubs, Hand and a Half weapons allow the Player to leave their other hand free for various reasons, but have a grip long enough to fight with both hands. This weapon form costs no Creation Points to use, and must pick Agile 3 or Weighted 3 at Creation.

\page * Heavy: Heavy weapons are majority of the weapons that require two hands: Greatswords, a majority of polearms, greataxes, and scythes. They require two hands to fight, but can be held with one. All Heavy weapons grant Strength and a half to damage. This costs 1 Creation Point to select and increases the damage of the weapon by 4 points after applying all purcahsed damage upgrades, but the first upgrade on any Extended Critical Hit Range or Critical Hit Multiplier costs 1 additional Creation or Upgrade Point. Heavy Weapons are given Weighted 3 for free. After a weapon's type has been selected, the Player must now select their damage type: Slashing, Blunt, or Pierce damage. The type of damage determines, primarily, how it deals damage. Some Grimm have resistances to certain types of damages, while others might have weaknesses to certain types. While not usually seen outside of combat, certain weapon damages can have outside uses, such as slashing weeds or breaking down a door. With the damage type selected, the Player must then create the base Damage, Critical Hit Range, and Critical Hit Multiplier. This is applicable to both Melee and Ranged weapons. * Damage: How much a weapon hurts. Damage starts at 4, and can be increased by 2 points for 1 Weapon Creation Point. No matter the form, Damage is capped out at 12 during weapon creation. The Heavy Weapon type increases by 4 damage after the weapon has been completely made. * Critical Hit Range: How often a weapon Critically Hits. Starting out at 20, it costs 2 Weapon Creation Points to increase it by 1. Critical Hit Range is capped at 18-20 during weapon creation. The Light Weapon type can increase this to 17-20. * Critical Hit Multiplier: How much a Critical Hit is multiplied by. This starts at x2, and can be increased by 1 for 3 Weapon Creation Points, to a max of x4 during weapon creation. After these are all handled, the final step for making a weapon is to flesh out any extra abilities it might have, allowing it to truly take form and, hopefully, shine in combat. The listed extra abilities can only be applied to Melee Weapons. * Agile: Agile weapons are light, deadly weapons meant for quick strikes and fast attacks, which is free to apply to all Light Weapons, and are one option for Moderate Weapons. If the Player using Agile Weapons is a Dexterity Fighter, they may add their Dexterity modifier into their weapon damage equal to the amount listed in the Agile Quality, which starts at 3. Any Dexterity Modifier damage above the Agile Quality is not added. The Player may upgrade this Quality by 2 for 1 Weapon Creation Point. This Quality is not subject to a higher cost after Weapon Creation. Strength Fighters cannot add their Strength Modifier on an Agile Quality Weapon. If an Agile weapon has the Momentum Quality, the Player must instead add their Strength to damage, instead of Dexterity, but are still limited to the Agile Limit. * Blocking: A bonus to some form of weapons that are used for defensive purposes, such as Parry Knives, Blocking weapons add a +1 to Base Defense Bonuse while used. This costs 1 Weapon Creation Point to apply, and the bonus can be increased by +1 for an additional Point, to a maximum of +3. * Brace: Weapons with Brace are typically polearms, are weapons with a long enough reach to properly brace it against something, such as solid ground, a wall, or someone else with good footing. Brace must be declared with One Action, and in doing so, the Player gets a free attack at a +4 Base Attack Bonus and Damage to a target that is attacking them by way of Charge, Bull Rush, or ways that are through sudden, rushing motions. This can only be applied to Moderate and Heavy Weapons, and cost 2 Weapon Creation Points to apply. * Deadly: Deadly weapons, as apposed to all weapons, are weapons with a more vicous part than normal: An extra sharp blade, a needle pointed spear tip, or a heavily weighted hammer head. When a Player attacks a Grimm who is able to be killed by the Deadly Weapon's next attack, the Player with said weapon ignores up to 6 points of AC from the target Grimm, however this number cannot be brought down past 2 AC. This can be applied for 2 Weapon Creation Points. * Disarming: Disarming weapons is a select group that excel in disarming opponents, such as whips, chained weapons, flails, and some axes. A Player may attempt a Disarm Attempt, and while they have a Disarming Weapon, they recieve a +2 their Base Attack Bonus. Also, if a Player with a Disarming Weapon is the target of a Disarm attempt, they recieve the +2 to their Base Defense Bonus as well for the attempt. This can only be applied to Light or Moderate Weapons, and costs 1 Weapon Creation Point to apply. * Double: Double weapons are things such as various staves, some types of polearms, and doubled headed weapons such as axes or even swallow blade swords. With a weapon on both end, the Player may attack as if they are fighting with Two Weapons in one Action, suffering the same penalties as Two Weapon Fighting, too. Players have the option not to fight with the Double property. The Double Property can only be placed on Light or Moderate Weapons, and cost 2 Weapon Creation Points to apply. * Dust Weapon: Dust Weapons are blades, points, or flat headed ends that are made from Dust instead of other material. All damage is treated as the element of Dust the weapon is made of. This does not impart other abilities from the Dust, just the damage. Dust Weapons are unable to be paired with the Durable Quality, and cost 2 Weapon Creation Points.

\page * Extra Head: The Player's Melee weapon gains an additional 'weapon head', ranging from a spike on the opposite end of a hammer, a blade on a spear to form a halberd, or a heavy ball on the end of a polearm to make a heavy club. Costing 2 Weapon Creation Points, the Player selects another type of damage that is not present on the weapon, and adds it to the list. The weapon gains 4 Weapon Creation Points to upgrade the new weapon, which must be upgraded individually from the other weapons. This may be selected twice. * Firing Mount: While in Melee form, the Ranged Weapon is able to be fired. However, firing the Ranged Weapon cuts the range in half, and only allows the Player to attack out to two Range Incriments, instead of the normally allowed five. Firing Mount cannot be combined with Removed Form or Sole Form, and costs 2 Weapon Creation Points. * Grappling: Limited to a select group of Light Weapons and Unarmed Weapons, the Grappling Quality grants a +4 to all checks involving Grappling while the Player has the weapon in hand. This Quality costs 3 Weapon Creation Points to take, the bonus can be increased by +1 for 1 additional Creation Point, to a maximum of a +6 total bonus. * Momentum: Momentum weapons are weapons that can be classed through the ability to work with the attacker's motions to gain more speed and force. Certain heavy weapons such as polearms, certain regular weapons such as hammers, and other weapons like whips, chains, and flails, can have this property. When attacking, if the Player hits their intended target, they recieve a +1 to their Base Attack Bonus on their following attack. This stacks with each successful hit, but vanishes once an attack is blocked, or they stop attacking. This bonus even increases during attacks that are not part of the Player's turn, or through special Attacks such as the Axe Kick Feat. A Momentum Weapon can max out it's bonus at +3 at Weapon Creation. This can be applied for 2 Weapon Creation Points. The bonus to hitting can be increased by +1 for 1 Weapon Creation Point, to a max of +5 after Weapon Creation. * Performance: Rare for many, many weapons, the realm of Huntsmen and Huntresses weapons mean there are no limits to what the weapon can be. While many of these weapons are directly musical in nature, such as a dust infused trumpet, others could range from a rigid, hollow club that beats like a drum when it hits something, or a spear with holes carved that whistle when swung. When used, Performance weapons grant a +4 bonus to the Performance skill that applies, such as Percussion or Woodwind. This can be applied for 1 Weapon Creation Point. * Precision: Armed with a weapon head meant for dealing more damage in a single strike than others, Precsision weapons are applied to Light or Deadly Weapons only. When using a Precision weapon, the Player gains a +2 to their Critical Hit Multiplier on the roll of a Natural 20 only, but suffer a -2 to their Ciritical Hit Multiplier, minimum x2, on any Critical Hit that is not a Natural 20. The weapon must have at least two Critical Hit Range upgrades before purchasing this, and cannot be purchased after Weapon Creation. This costs 3 Weapon Creation Points. * Reach: Reach weaponry are weapons that strike an additional 5ft away, giving them a total of 10ft range. These weapons are usually Polearms, such as Spears, Lances, Halberds and the likes, while weapons like Whips and Chains might have an additional 10 or 15ft of reach to their attacks. If the Player using a Reach weapon that only has a 10ft total range, such as a Halberd, they may choke up on the shaft of the weapon, and in doing so may fight with as if they had the Double weapon property with the butt end of the weapon, dealing half of the weapon's Damage. This costs 1 Weapon Creation Point to increase the weapon's range to 10ft, and an additinal Point to increase it to 15ft. However, the second increase to 15ft can only be applied to a Light Weapon. * Returning: The Returning Quality can only be placed on Weapons with the Thrown Quality. Weapons with Return are able to come back to the Player after being thrown, whether the attack is successful or not, barring certain things, such as it getting stuck or grabbed. The Returning Quality costs 1 Weapon Creation Point. * Sundering: Sundering weapons are mainly blunt weapons, or those with heavy and/or jagged edges. A Player may attempt a Break Attempt, and while they have a Sundering Weapon, they recieve a +2 their Base Attack Bonus. Also, if a Player with a Sundering Weapon is the target of a Break attempt, they recieve the +2 to their Base Defense Bonus as well for the attempt. Sundering Weapons gain their bonus to the Player's Base Attack Bonus when attacking Grimm, overcoming parts of their Armor. This can be applied for 1 Weapon Creation Point. * Tripping: Tripping weapons are a somewhat varied group, usually posessing hooks and curved egdes such as scythes, halberds, and sickles. A Player may attempt a Trip Attempt, and while they have a Tripping Weapon, they recieve a +2 their Base Attack Bonus. Also, if a Player with a Tripping Weapon is the target of a Trip attempt, they recieve the +2 to their Base Defense Bonus as well for the attempt. This can be applied for 1 Weapon Creation Point. * Thrown: Thrown weapons are anything light enough, or a weapon made for throwing, such as Knives, Handaxes, Javelins, and Hammers. These weapons do not take penalties when throwing them as a weapon, but only have a short range, 20ft base range. When selected, the Player gains a total of 10 of the weapons to throw. This can only be applied to Light Weapons and non Tower Shields, and cost 1 Weapon Creation Point to apply. For an additional Weapon Creation Point, the Player may increase the count of their Thrown Weapons by +5. This can be upgraded 3 total times, for 25 total Thrown Weapons.

\page * Utility: Utility Weapons are a group that can be used for seperate uses. For example, a Whip could be used as a Grappling Hook, a sturdy polearm could be used as a wedge to lift heavy objects, hammers and picks as...hammer and pickaxes, and so on. Weapons of this feature should be discussed with the Dungeon Master, and the list should be extended as to what can logically and safely be used as a tool and weapon without needed a new form. The bonuses applied by the Utility quality start at a +4 for the intended use. This can be applied for 1 Weapon Creation Point. * Weighted: Weighted weapons are majority of the weapons that require two hands: Greatswords, a majority of polearms, greataxes, and scythes. They require two hands to fight, but can be held with one. Weighted is applied to Heavy Weapons for free, and are the second option for Moderate Weapons. If the Player using a Weighted Weapon is a Strength Fighter, they may add their Strength Modifier into their weapon damage equal to the amount listed in the Weighted Quality, which starts at 3. Any Strength Modifier damage above the Weighted Quality is not added. The Player may upgrade this Quality by 2 for 1 Weapon Creation Point. This Quality is not subject to a higher cost after Weapon Creation. Dexterity Fighters cannot add their Dexterity Modifier on a Weighted Quality Weapon. If a Weighted weapon has the Deadly Quality, the Player must instead add their Dexterity to damage, instead of Strength, but are still limited to the Weighted Limit. ## Shield Weaponry At the cost of selected Weapon Creation Points, the Player can create one of four different Shields for use. When creating a shield, they all share a Critical Hit Range of 20, and a Critical Hit Multiplier of x2. * Bucklers/Tagres only provide a +1 to BDB. They deal 2 Damage, and cost 2 Weapon Creation Points to use. Bucklers allow the Player to keep their hand free and use it for whatever purpose needed. However, the Buckler can get in the way, and all actions with said hand suffer a -1. * Light Shields/Kite Shields provide a +2 to BDB. They deal 4 Damage, and cost 3 Weapon Creation Points to use. * Heavy Shields/Rodaches provide a +3 to BDB. They deal 6 Damage, and cost 4 Weapon Creation Points to use. * Tower Shields/Pavises provide a +4 to BDB, as well as granting cover to ranged attacks, but require a player to be a Constitution based Defense fighter. They deal 10 Damage, and cost 5 Weapon Creation Points to use. Like weapons, Shields can be upgraded using the upgrade rules for Weapons. However, Shields also gain their own unique upgrade: For Two Weapon points, a Shield's Base Defense Bonus Boost increases by 1. Also, during Weapon Creation, the Player is allowed to purchase the option to apply special coatings to their Shield for 2 Weapon Creation Points. While in use, the Player gains the bonuses and penalties, but can be removed between missions and when the Player has the appropriate tools. Coatings can be used as many times as the Player wishes, but can only have one coating on at a time. * Abrasive Coating: Covered in a sandpaper-like grit, Abrasive Coating Shields increase their Base Defense Bonus against Slashing weapons by +4, but suffer the bonus as a penalty when defending against Blunt weapons. Piercing weapons are not affected by this coating. This costs 2 Weapon Creation Points, and for an additional 2 Points, the Player may increase the Bonus their Base Defense Bonuses by +1. The Base Defense Bonus Penalty cannot be reduced. If a weapon deals damage in a type that is both the Coating's Bonus and Penalty, the Coating does not take effect. * Impact Coating: Covered in a thin layer of special impact absorbing polish, Impact Coating Shields increase their Base Defense Bonus against Blunt weapons by +4, but suffer the bonus as a penalty when defending against Pierce weapons. Slashing weapons are not affected by this coating. his costs 2 Weapon Creation Points, and for an additional 2 Points, the Player may increase the Bonus their Base Defense Bonuses by +1. The Base Defense Bonus Penalty cannot be reduced. If a weapon deals damage in a type that is both the Coating's Bonus and Penalty, the Coating does not take effect. * Reflective Coating: Covered in a thin, reflective polish, a shield with Reflective Coating can reflect light in a more focused beam. While using the shield in this manner to reflect light, the Player takes 1 Action to focus the shield, and another aim it at a target of their choice. When struck, the Target must make a DC 21 Fortitude Save or be Dazzled. The light can also be aimed through Darkness Dust to remove parts of it temporarily, returning once the beam moves. However, due to the nature of the Coating, light is always reflecting off of the shield unless covered. * Slick Coating: Covered in a thin, oily sheen, Slick Coating Shields increase their Base Defense Bonus against Piercing weapons by +4, but suffer the bonus as a penalty when defending against a Slashing weapons. Blunt weapons are not affected by this coating. his costs 2 Weapon Creation Points, and for an additional 2 Points, the Player may increase the Bonus their Base Defense Bonuses by +1. The Base Defense Bonus Penalty cannot be reduced. If a weapon deals damage in a type that is both the Coating's Bonus and Penalty, the Coating does not take effect. All non-Buckler shields occupy the player's hand, preventing them from carrying anything in it. Also, while Shields of all kinds can be used to attack, doing so removes the Base Defense Bonus of the Shield until the start of their next turn. This penalty can be removed by selecting the Shield Focus Feat and Shield Bash Expertise Feat.

\page ## Unarmed Weapons Most of the time, it is preferred to fight with a weapon, but mastering the use of unarmed combat can be just as, and possibly more useful than a weapon. Unarmed weapons start with the same starting weapon stats as all other weapons, however they must be Light Weapons, but are given the option to use either the Agile or Weighted Quality. While called Unarmed, Unarmed weapons are all forms of fighting without a weapon, from Boxing to Tai Chi and everything in between, meaning a Player who uses Unarmed Weapons will deal as much damage with a kick, knee, elbow, or even headbutt as they do with a punch. Their Unarmed damage is increased in the same way as weapons, and a safe assuption is that the Student(s) fighting with Unarmed strikes has some sort of minor padding that is upgraded over time. Also, for Players with a weapon, their Unarmed damage is 1 + their Attacking Modifier. This number can only be upgraded through story progression rewards, if a player specifies them training to do so. A number of feats rely on having an 'Unarmed/Fist Weapon'. While this techincally allows all Players to take them, a restriction is placed on the feats. If a Player who does not start with an Unarmed weapon wishes to buy a feat that has 'Unarmed/Fist Weapon' in the requirement tag, the Player must have upgraded their base Unarmed Damage up to 4 base damage before they may select feats. ## Ranged Weapons The other core aspect of a weapon, the ranged weapon allows the Player to attack at a far range. Building the ranged weapon follows the same process as a melee weapon. First, the Player must select a type, between Compact, Moderate, Gunnery, or Archery. Despite firing live 'ammunition', all firearm bullets, from small caliber to explosives, are made of elementally depleted Dust, and do not deal Slashing, Blunt, or Piercing damage, instead doing flat 'Untyped' Damage. Specialty ammo may change this, and Dust ammo takes on the element of it's Dust typing. * Compact: The firearm equivalent to Light, Compact ranged weapons are mostly small firearms such as pistols and machine pistols. Primarily made for dual weapon fighting, Compact weapons offer the same benefits to Two Weapon Fighting as Light weapons. This costs 1 Weapon Creation Point to select, and can only be added to Light or Moderate Melee Weapons. If the Melee Weapon in question is Moderate, the Firearm may gain the Dual and/or Modular Qualities for free. Compact Firearms cannot start with a Damage higher than an 8. * Moderate: The firearm equivalent to Moderate, these weapons are some of the more common types, compiling many rifles, shotguns, and other easily carried, two handed firearms. This form costs no Weapon Creation Points to make, and can take the form from any of the three melee weapon types, but only Light Weapons if they have the Dual and Modular Quality. * Gunnery: The firearm equivelent to Heavy, Gunnery weapons comprise of heavy weapons, such as machine guns, grenade launchers, and sniper rifles. Costing 1 Weapon Creation Point to make and follow the same as Heavy weapons with the free +4 Damage and additional Critical Hit Range or Multiplier increase by 1 Weapon Creation Point, Gunnery Weapons can only be from Moderate or Heavy Melee Weapons. * Archery: Holding bow and crossbows in its typing, Archery weapons have no melee counterpart. The biggest benefit over their firearm counterparts is that they are completely silent, and their arrows/bolts can be used as improvised melee weapons. Archery Weapons cost 1 Weapon Creation Point to select, and can be applied to any Melee weapon type, but only Light weapons if they have the Dual Quality. Following the weapon type, the Player then follows the same process of applying the weapon's Damage, Critical Hit Range, and Critical Hit Multiplier as a Melee Weapon's. All Ranged Weapons, however, start at a x3 Critical Hit Multiplier, and cannot surpass x4 as normal at Weapon Creation. Ranged weapons also have a few other upgrades that only they can apply: * Range: All Firearms have a range. After the applied range is given from Dungeon Master and Player discussion, the range can be upraded by 5ft for 2 Weapon Creation Points. This cannot be purhcased more than three times. * Ammo: The amount of ammo a single reload can hold, be in clips, magazines, belts, shells, or quiver size. Once the applied ammo count is given from Dungeon Master and Player discussion, the ammo count can be increased by the Burst Fire Value, if applicable. If the weapon does not have a Burst Fire value, it cannot select this upgrade. This costs 2 Weapon Creation Points to use, and can only be selected twice. * Specialty Reloads: The amount of speciality ammo a Player can carry on their person during missions and combat. Starting at 3, the Player can upgrade this amount by 1 for every Weapon Creation Point spent. This upgrade can only be selected three times. With the upgrades all selected and finished, the Player has the chance to add extra upgrades to the Ranged Weapon, as if a Melee Weapon. The following list of upgrades is only for Ranged Weapons: * Automatic Fire: The Automatic Fire style must be applied to a weapon that has the Burst Fire Value, allowing the Automatic Fire style. This costs 1 Weapon Creation Point to apply. * Bayonet: A small, undermounted weapon for a Ranged weapon. Costing 2 Weapon Creation Points to select, the Bayonet gains 4 Weapon Creation Points to create a Light only Melee Weapon, but it can be of any damage type, despite the name 'bayonet'. While this cannot be combined with any other underbarrel weapon, it can be removed and exchanged with other underbarrel weapons at any time for 1 Action.

\page * Bipod/Tripod: An underbarrel attachment for Moderate and Gunnery Weapons only, Bipods/Tripods must be unfolded or refolded for 1 Action, and while set up, limit the Firearm's range of motion. However, while using a Bipod/Tripod, the Player reduces the penalty while firing beyond the first Range Incriment by half, rounded down. A Bipod/Tripod costs 2 Weapon Creation Points. * Burst Fire: Being able to be applied to any ranged Firearm, this allows the Player to use the Burst Fire Optional Firing style. This costs 1 Weapon Creation Point to apply. * Composite: Only able to be applied to Archery weapons, Composite is the Ranged equivalent to Heavy. Starting at Composite 2, Composite follows the same rules as Weighted for application, upgrading, and effects. Composite costs 1 Weapon Creation Point to apply. * Collapsing Stock: An upgrade for Compact firearms, a Collapsing Stock is made for weapons with the Burst and Automatic Fire Qualities. While using either firing style, the Player reduces the attack penalty by 2, to a minumum of 1. It requires 1 Action to unfold or collapse the stock, and costs 1 Weapon Creation Point. * Dust Powered: A Dust Powered weapon fired off elemental Dust rather than the typeless Dust. While using a Dust Powered firearm, the Player's weapon instead deals the damage of the Dust type they are using, at the cost of 2 Dust per shot used. While using Dust Powered bullets, a Player cannot apply any secondary effects, or use any Dust related feats, as they are not using Dust for anything other than bullets. This costs 2 Weapon Creation Points. * Dust Thrower: Colloquially known to many as a flamethrower, a Dust Thrower functions as such. A Dust Thrower weapon must have the Dust Powered Quality before purchasing this. The Dust Thrower has a cone of 30ft, and attacks all Targets in that range, which qualifies the Dust Thrower for the Flak Jacket and Shaped Rounds feats to avoid hitting allies. The Cone's range may be increased as a normal weapon. The damage of the Dust Thrower is that of the Dust Powered Quality, and follows the same rules as Dust Powered, however it uses 10 Dust per attack instead of 2. This costs 2 Weapon Creation Points to purchase. A Dust thrower may be purchased as an underbarrel weapon, such as the Masterkey and Launcher. If purchased this way, the Dust Thrower costs only 1 Weapon Creation Point, and the Weapon gains 4 Weapon Creation Points to make, with the range Starting at 10ft, and being limited to 20, and the Damage being limited to 10. * Explosive: Explosive weapons are such as rocket launchers and grenade rifles. When dealing damage, the Player's weapon deals it's damage to the target it hit as normal. However, after that, the Explosive Quality deals the weapon's damage -2 to all targets, friend or foe, 5ft adjacent to the Target. After that, the damage is reduced by 2 again to all Targets 5ft adjacent to that. After that 5ft, the adjacent 5ft are damaged for the total cumulative penalty with another -4 to damage. Those hit by the Splash Damage are subject to either a Base Defense roll, or a Reflex Save against the Attacker's initial Base Attack roll. This costs 3 Weapon Creation Points, and once selected, cannot be removed to allow a Player to deal non Area of Effect Damage. * Flashlight: A rather obvious item, a flashlight attachment allows the Player to have light without using their hands. Costing 1 Weapon Creation Point, the flashlight attachment has a switch near the Player's grip, allowing for a flick of the thumb to turn it on or off. * Launcher: Equippable on Moderate weapons only, the Launcher is an underbarrel weapon, holding 1 explosive. Costing 3 Weapon Creation Points to select, the Player is given 4 Weapon Creation Points to build the Launcher, and is given the Explosive Quality for free. The Launcher is unable to take the Ammo Capaciity Upgrade. While this cannot be combined with any other underbarrel weapon, it can be removed and exchanged with other underbarrel weapons at any time for 1 Action. The Smoothbore Barrel option is a valid upgrade for the Launcher. * Long Barrel: A longer barrel option for Moderate and Gunnery weapons only. While using a Long Barrel, the Player gains a +2 to their Base Attack Bonus, and gain a +5 to their Weapon Range. However, the extra weight and size of the Long Barrel imposes a -1 to the Player's Base Defense Bonus and Reflex Checks. This costs 1 Weapon Creation Point to add, and can be removed with proper tools, and a second barrel. * Masterkey: Equippable on Moderate weapons only, the Masterkey is an underbarrel shotgun, holding a total of 4 shells, 3 in reload and 1 in the chamber. The Player is given 4 Weapon Creation Points for the creation of this weapon, and costs 3 Weapon Creation Points to apply. The ammo capacity of the Masterkey cannot be increased. While this cannot be combined with any other underbarrel weapon, it can be removed and exchanged with other underbarrel weapons at any time for 1 Action. The Set Trigger is a valid upgrade for the Masterkey.

\page * Parallaxed Scope: A seperate scope from the normal Scope Quality, a Parralexed Scope is a special scope set to a specific distance. When taken, the Player selects a range increment that is not the first. When the Player attacks in that range, they suffer no penalties to their Base Attack Bonus for distance, however, every other range increment suffers a -6 to the Player's Base Attack Bonus. A Parallaxed Scope can be dialed to a new range increment when given time, though it cannot be changed in combat. This costs 1 Weapon Creation Point, and the Scope Quality. If the Player has the Picatinny Rail Quality, they may instead use both a normal Scope and Parallaxed Scope on the same gun, with the Parallaxed Scope being roughly 45° off of the other. The Parallaxed Scope can be set or removed by spending 1 Action. * Picatinny Rail: Also known as a Pic Rail or Tac Rail, and from here will be known as a Pic Rail, Pic Rails are for holding underbarrel weapons. For 1 Weapon Creation Point, another Pic Rail may be bought, attached to either side or the top of the barrel. This upgrade can only be purcashed three extra times. Underbarrel weapons, such as the Masterkey and Launcher cannot be attached to the side or top Pic Rails. * Scope: Only able to be equipped onto Moderate or Gunnery Firearms, the Scope Quality extends the Player's Range Incriments by +1, after factoring in feats and abilities, and removes the penalty to attacking in their second Range Incriment. This costs 2 Weapon Creation Points, and can be set or removed by spending 1 Action. * Set Trigger: The Player's firearm has a Set Trigger, an optional firing mechanism that allows the trigger to be pulled much easier. At the cost of 2 Actions per Ranged Attack, the Player adds a +4 to their Base Attack Bonus while attacking. A Weapon with a Set Trigger does not force a player to attack with the Set Trigger. This can only be applied to Compact or Moderate Weapons, and costs 2 Weapon Creation Points to apply. * Silencer: Able to be put on any firearm, Silencers reduce the range of weapons by 10ft, but reduce the audible sound they make. While not completely muffled, all Perception checks to hear the weapon being fired increases by +10. A Silencer costs 1 Weapon Creation Point, and can be removed or attached at the cost of 1 Action. * Smoothbore Barrel: The Player may alternate the barrel of their firearm, changing between a Rifled barrel or a Smoothbore barrel. A Rifled barrel acts as the basic barrel for their firearm, but a Smoothbore barrel increases the range of the projectile by an additional 20ft. However, the attacks takes a -3 to Hit while using a Smoothbore barrel. The Player may only change barrel types when they have access to the proper tools. This costs 2 Weapon Creation Points, and may only be equipped to Gunnery firearms. * Underwater: A firearm with the Underwater Quality allows it to operate underwater without any penalties, or risk of failing. In addition, it is also protected from heavy rain. However, a firearm with the Underwater Quality cannot use normal bullets, and must instead use needle-like flechettes to properly work, causing them to take a penalty of -4 to their Damage. This costs 4 Weapon Creation Points, and the firearm can be reverted back to a normal styled firearm with the proper tools and time. * Vertical Forward Grip: The Vertical Forwards Grip, hereby called the Foregrip is the Moderate Weapon equivalent of the Collapsing Stock quality. Only able to be put on Moderate Weapons with the Burst or Automatic Fire Qualities, the Player reduces the penalty when using either Burst Fire or Automatic Fire attacks by 2, to a minimum of 1. However, the size of the grip does impose a -1 to the Player's Base Defense Bonus. This costs 1 Weapon Creation Point. The Foregrip is spaced back just enough to allow the use of an underbarrel weapon and the Foregrip at the same time, but this imposes a -2 to the Player's Base Defense Bonus. The Following list of upgrades is applied to the creation of both weapons, and can require Weapon Creation Points from either one or both of the weapons. * Dual: Dual weapons are weapons that come in a pair. While this doesn't mean the two weapons need to be exactly the same, such as two daggers or pistols, they still must be of the same size and style. Dual weapons are two handed version of Double Quality of the Melee Weapon Quality. Dual and Double cannot be applied to the same weapon. The Dual Quality can be applied to Light or Moderate Melee Weapons, or Compact Ranged Weapons for 1 Creation Point from whichever weapon is having Dual applied, or 2 Creation Points if both Melee and Ranged Weapons are taking the Dual Quality. When selecting Dual, the second weapon does not need to be copy of the original weapon, but, must be of the same weapon size, for example a hammer and handaxe for Melee Weapons, and a revolver and pistol for Ranged Weapons. The Damage, Critical Hit Range, and Critical Hit Multiplier is the same, despite the two possibly different weapons, but can be of different damage types. Ranged Weapons must share the same approximate Range, with a maximum of a 20ft range difference. The Melee and Ranged Weapons can be seperately applied Qualities by paying the Weapon Creation Point cost for the other weapon. * Durable: The Durable Quality increases a weapon's resistance to damage and Break Checks. For 2 Weapon Creation Points, the Player can add a +1 miscellaneous bonus to resist damage and to Break Checks. This can be upgraded by +1 for 2 Weapon Creation Points, with a total bonus limit of +5.

\page * Extra Dust: The Player can spend 2 Weapon Creation Points to start with another Dust Cartridge. They may purchase this 5 times, maxing out at the 6 allowed total Dust Slots. The Dust Cartridges are shared between both of the weapon Forms. If selected, and the weapon has the Dual Quality, the Player must select which Dust Cartridges are in which weapon. While this still allows them to be used, the Player is not able to Dust of a Weapon of which they are not holding. For example, if a Player has Fire Dust in their right weapon, and Wind Dust in their left, and their left weapon is out of hand, they cannot use their Wind Dust, but can use their Fire Dust. * Extra Form: The Player's Weapon has a secondary form of the same type. Costing 4 Weapon Creation Points, the Player may make another Weapon of equal size, or two weapons of one size smaller, gaining the Dual Trait for free if two weapons are made. The Extra Form weapon gains 5 Weapon Creation Points to use and create the new weapon, which cannot be spent on the Extra Form, Modular, Removed Form, or Sole Form Quality. * Fitted Grip: Specially made for the weapon's original user in mind, a Fitted Grip is made with their hand(s) in mind. While the Player who owns the weapon is using it, they recieve a +2 against Disarm attempts while using the weapon. While any other Player or NPC is using a weapon with a Fitted Grip not made for them, they suffer the bonus as a penalty to all checks using the weapon. This costs 1 Weapon Creation Point to select, and can be upgraded by +1 for 1 Creation Point, to a maximum of +5. * Locked Guantlet: With a metal gauntlet, or other kind of thick, sturdy wrist guard, a Locked Guantlet attaches a small chain to the end of the Player's Weapon. If disarmed, the Player can spend 1 Action after they have been Disarmed to pull the weapon back to their hand if it is Light/Compact, or Moderate, and 2 Actions if it is Heavy/Gunnery. The chain is long enough for the weapon to hit the ground if the Player's arm is extended straight ahead of them. This Quality costs 1 Weapon Creation Point. Weapons with the Dual Quality may apply the Locked Guantlet Quality to both weapons for the 1 Weapon Creation Point. The Locked Guantlet chain may be attacked and destroyed by a successful Break Action. The chain does not offer any attack range increases for Melee Weapons. * Modular: A Modular weapon combines two weapons, or a weapon and shield, into a new one. Costing 2 Weapon Creation Points, the weapons, or weapon and shield combine into a new weapon. This increases the weapon size when in use: Two Dual Light or Compact weapons become a Moderate, a Light or Compact and a Shield become a Moderate, a Moderate of either type and a Shield become a Heavy or Gunnery. The Modular weapon uses the full Damage of the weapon with the higher attack, and half of the weapon with the lower attack, combined into one, the Critical Hit Range of the first weapon and Critical Hit Multiplier of the second. Activating the Modular ability requires 1 Action to switch between forms, and requires both weapons on the Player's person to activate. Modular requires the Dual Trait if selected from two weapons, and the Dual weapons are considered the base form. A Melee Modular Weapon can form into a Melee or Ranged weapon, and a Ranged Modular Weapon can form into a Melee or Ranged weapon. * Removed Form: This Quality removes the weapon's Melee or Ranged form, effectively giving the Weapon two different forms for the same type of weapon, either two Melee Forms or two Ranged Forms. When selecting this, the Player builds their second Weapon using the 12 points of the removed weapon form, following the same rules as Weapon Creation for the second form. The two weapons must be of the same type, unless made with the Dual Ranged Quality, where they may be two weapons of the next size down. * Sole Form: The weapon only has a single form. This Quality costs 4 Points, granting the Player a total of 16 Points to build their one form Weapon. Sole Form cannot be combined with Dual, Modular, or Removed Form. * Transforming: Costing no Weapon Creation Points, this form is given free to all Weapons, which can be removed as well. This allows the Player to change their weapon from their Melee Form to it's Ranged Form. A Modular Weapon is not the same as a Transforming Weapon, but the two can be placed on the same weapon. ## Improving Weapons As the players grow, so must their weapons. At certain parts in the story, usually major plot points, players are rewarded a number of Weapon Upgrade Points to upgrade their weapons. However, the Weapon Upgrade Points may only be used for one weapon. For example, if a player's weapon is a Longsword/Rifle, when they spend points to upgrade their Longsword's Damage, their Rifle's stats stay completely the same. Dual Quality weapons upgrade at the same time, unless strictly mentioning upgrades on selective weapons for extra Qualities. * One Upgrade Point increases a weapon's damage by 2 points. * One Upgrade Point to increase the size of a single Dust Cartridge. * Two Upgrade Points increases the weapon's Critical Hit Multiplier by 1. This can only be a number of times per Weapon to increase it's Critical Hit Multiplier up to x7.

\page * Two Upgrade Points adds one extra Dust Slot to a weapon. A Weapon may have a maximum of 6 Dust Slots. * Two Upgrade Points allows a Ranged Weapon with the Burst Fire Quality to increase it's ammo capacity equal to it's Burst Fire Value. This can only be bought twice per ranged weapon. * Three Upgrade Points increases the weapon's Critical Hit Range by 1. A Weapon may only have it's Critical Hit Range increased three times. * At the cost of 1 + it's base cost of Weapon Creation Points, a Player may add a Quality to their weapon, but all future upgrades on it cost the base cost. For example, adding the Brace Quality costs 2 Weapon Upgrade points, but follow the rules for upgrading said feature as listed in the description in the future. ## Ammo and Changing Forms As is with almost every weapon in the world of RWBY, it transforms. However, early on, Players should be informed that changing forms costs a single Action. Reloading is the same, costing a single Action, and provoking an Attack of Opportunity. Counting ammo shouldn't be enforced, only on Dust Ammo. All players are given 'infinite' basic ammo, but should limited to carrying a specific amount of reloads of special ammo each into combat per ranged weapon. For example, a Dungeon Master could make it so all players can only carry a total of 15 reloads between various ammo types, or another could make it so that they can bring in as much extra ammo as they want, but only 3 reloads of special types. Many firearms have different modes of firing, mainly Single Shot, a 'Burst Fire' of some sort, and Full Auto. To emulate these features, different firing types change how firearms work, but don't affect damage. Single shot is simple, and is only a single bullet fired at a target. The Burst fire option takes a number of bullets that would be able to empty the entire clip/magazine without an odd number of rounds left. For example, a firearm with 50 bullets would have a Birst Fire option of 5 bullets. When using Burst Fire, the player may reroll their Ranged Attack once, but recieve a penalty equal to the number of bullets fired. Fully Automatic/Full Auto firearms can have their attacks 'walked' down a pattern that has at least one end or corner connecting per area they wish to attack. Every target is attacked by the same attack roll, and each square costs ammo in the same way as the Burst Fire example. Due to the nature of Full Auto attacks, percision aiming cannot be done. ## Creating Ammo As stated a few times, players have the option to make special types of ammo. Ranging from purely Dust Infused bullets and arrowheads, to special Grimm tearing Hollow Point and Carapace Piercing bullets, the players are also free to think of speical types. Initially, when a player wishes to make Dust Ammo, they must be in a location that allows them to make the ammo properly, such as their Academy or a gun store in a city. At the start, the player must have enough Dust to start. They first make a Dust Use Check of DC 15, following the rules of Dust Combat. After the roll, they check to see how many Modifier Points they would have gotten. Any feats that increase the amount of Modification Points for certain dust types, such as Fire Starter, are automatically added to the final result. It costs 50 Dust per Check to make any kind of Ammo. From there, they are allowed to modify a Dust Use as normal. After they are satisfied, they next make a Craft (Weapon), Craft (Ammo), or any applicable Crafting Check based on Dungeon Master Fiat, DC 15 as well. On a success, the Player creates one full reload for the Player's firearm, and an additional reload per 5 points they beat the DC. For arrows and crossbow bolts, they create 15 of either on a success, and follow the same rules. Once created, Dust Ammo stays stable until used, and once used, the ammo uses the Dust Check result. Aside from Dust based rounds, Players should also be driven to make more ballistic based bullets for various weapons. All ammo types take the same Craft (Weapon) or Craft (Ammo) DC of 15, creating another full reload of ammo for every 5 points the Player beats the DC. Below is a list of ammo types. * Hollow Point: Hollow Point rounds are made for more fleshy Grimm. When attacking a Grimm with an AC of 6 or less, the firearm deals their base damage before any additional modifiers. However, if attacking a Grimm with 7 AC or more, the Firearm deals half damage and cannot deal Critical Damage. * Armor Piercing: Armor Piercing Rounds, or AP Rounds, are made to pierce through the bones of Grimm. When attacking a Grimm with an AC of 8 or more, the Firearm removes 1 point of AC from the Grimm permanently. AP Rounds deals half damage, no matter what. * Tracer Rounds: Meant for improving one's accuracy, Tracer Rounds glow when fired. When a Player attacks with a Tracer Round, their next Ranged Attack gains a +3 to hit with it. While this bonus does not stack, if a Player attacks with another Tracer Round after shooting a Tracer Round, they keep their +3 bonus to hit. Tracer Rounds deal Half damage. Also, a Player may roll a DC 20 Perception check after an ally using Tracer Rounds attacks, getting a +1 to attacking with their own Ranged Weapon on their first ranged attack a round. These hitting bonuses only apply to a single target, and vanish if a target with with Tracer Rounds flees or is killed. Due to the bright light of the Tracer Round, the Player attacking with Tracver Rounds gain a -5 to all Stealth rolls until the start of their next turn, and all allies of the attacker within 10ft suffer a -2 to Stealth.

\page * Spotting Rounds: A Tracer Round, but bigger. When used, a Spotting Round explodes in a very small area around the target, dealing 6 extra damage to the target and to all targets adjacent to the struck target. Spotting Rounds can be made with any kind of Dust in mind. Similar to Tracer Rounds, Spotting Rounds impose a penalty to Stealth as well, however due to the much brighter lights, the penalties for Attacker and Allies are increased to -10 and -5 respectively. * High Velocity Rounds: Mainly meant for smaller targets, such as rodent, vermin, and small game like rabbits, HV Rounds are exceptionally fast, but weak. When attacking with an HV Round, the Player gains a +4 to hit, but the ranged weapon's base damage is cut in half, in addition to counting the ability to pierce a Grimm's Armor Class as 2 points less on the die reveal. For example, Jett's Pistol deals 10 damage normally. Using High Velocity rounds makes the Pistol's damage deal 5 damage, and when attacking, Jett's roll of a 12 is counted as a 10 for all purposes of piercing a Grimm's Armor Class. However, when making HV Rounds, the Player makes double the amount for the same cost. High Velocity Rounds can only be made for Pistols and Rifles. * Breaching Shell: A Shotgun only shell, this slug is meant to break through hinges and locks. When using a Breaching Shell to destroy an object, it deals triple it's damage to any inatomate object such as a lock or deadbolt, but cannot deal damage to anything outside 5ft. * Slug: Slugs are mainly shells used for Shotguns, Slugs deal their damage to a single target, removing the Spread from the normal shells and instead making the Shotgun's range a single line, and increasing the shotgun's range by 20ft, dealing full damage to the Target in question, and only that Target. * Dragon's Breath: A highly unconventional, if not unique and deadly shotgun shell. When making Dragon's Breath Shells, both a Dust Use Craft and a Craft (Weapon) or Craft (Ammo) is required. When finished, Dragon's Breath shells can be any Dust element, dealing double the Shotgun's damage in a 100ft cone. However, Dragon's Breath Shells can only be used once per Round safely by the attacker due to the extreme Dust energy being unleashed from the shotgun, and can cause the weapon to break. If a player wishes to fire more than one per round, they must roll a d100 after every extra attack. If their d100 is lower than the damage of the weapon, the weapon breaks. For every extra attack, the damage compounds into the d100 roll. Example: Suave Empyreon shoots his Ice Dragon Breath round three times. The first attack does not provoke the d100 roll. On his second attack, his damage is 24 after the Double Damage and rolls a 65, keeping his weapon safe. On his third attack, his d100 roll must be higher than 48. The weapon cools off at a rate of 25 'heat' per round when not fired. * Piranha Round: A rather large shotgun shell, a Piranha Round is filled with spikes, mostly Caltrops. These Shells deals half damage to any target it hits, but scatters Caltrops on the ground of the target it hits, plus 5ft in each direction around the initial space. These caltrops deal 4 damage when stepped on, requiring a DC 15 Reflex Check to avoid doing so while stepping in a space. The caltrops prevent running over them, and if someone runs over them, the target in question takes 8 damage instead of 4 and does not roll the Reflex Check to avoid it. A use of Wind, Water or Earth Dust removes the Caltrops, and if Piranha Rounds are used over a space with Ice Dust slicks, the Caltrops spread out to 10ft arond the initial target, but damage is cut in half for both uses. * Bean Bag Round: A shotgun shell again, or better yet another variant of the Slug, Bean Bag rounds are mostly worthless against Grimm, however are made for Human and Faunus control. Bean Bag Rounds are treated as Slugs, however they deal half the damage to their intended Target, or no damage to Grimm with more than 5 AC. When a Bean Bag Round hits a Human or Faunus Target, the Target must make a Fortitude Save of DC 20 or fall Prone from the Bean Bag hitting them. This DC increases by 2 for every Successful Save the Target makes. Bean Bag rounds may also be used to Disarm Targets or to Trip them, due to their specialized round. If a Target rolls a 1 on their Fortitude Save, they fall Prone and are Nauseousd for 2 rounds from the Bean Bag hitting them. * Pin Point Arrow/Bolt: A small arrowhead made for deep penetration. If used to attack a Grimm with a total of 6 or more Armor Class, the attacker counts the Grimm's armor as 3 points lower, to a minimum of 2 total. Pin Point arrowheads deal 2 less damage when used. * Bludgeon Arrow/Bolt: Arrowheads with flat, blunt tips. While using them, the Player cannot deal any lethal damage to their Target, however on a successful Critical Hit, the Target must roll a Fortitude DC of 5 + Weapon's Damage, or suffer the Dazed Condition for 1 Round. These arrowheads are mostly ineffective against Grimm, as the Grimm are immune to the effects of nonlethal damage. * Judo Point Arrow/Bolt: Special arrows with a spring loaded claw. When the arrow hits the Target, the claw springs open. The arrow then sticks to the Target and stays lodged in. While Aura prevents clothes from getting caught, Judo Arrows can be used to make certain Grapple or pinning checks against certain Grimm, or objects, be they unattended or held. If an object is held, the holder must make an opposed Grapple Check, beating the roll of the Attacker. A failure means the arrow snatches said item and pulls it from their person if it is not secured in place.

\page * Cut-on-Contact Arrow/Bolt: Wide, triangular arrowheads, Cut-on-Contact arrowheads deal their damage as Slashing. In addition, Cut-on-Contact arrowheads deal an additional +3 damage to their Target with a -3 to hit. However, if the Cut-on-Contact arrow is used on a Grimm with 20 Strength or more, the damage is increased by an additional 3. * Chisel Arrow/Bolt: Wider arrowheads with an X shaped blade marking on the head, Chisel arrows round out the trio of Mechanical and Cut-on-Contact. Chisel arrowheads suffer a -3 to hit, but deal +3 to damage. In addition, when attacking a Grimm with 20 Constitution or more, the damage is increased by an additional 3. * Kabura-ya Arrow: While not made for combat, the Kabura-ya arrow has a specialized, rounded head made to cause a whistling sound when fired. Not used for stealth or direct combat, a Kabura-ya arrow and clever teamwork can allow for information to be passed along the battlefield without words. Kabura-ya Arrows can have different pitches and sounds, and when crafted, Players do should specify different musical notes to sounds to better aid in the transfer of information. In addition, the sound of a Kabura-ya distracts Grimm, forcing them to make a DC 14 Will Save or be drawn to the sound of the arrow for 1 Round, after which they will ignore it. Kabura-ya arrows deal no damage. * High Explosive Grenade/Shell: Ammo for Launchers, High Explosive Shells deals double damage to all targets in the radius, and the damaging area is doubled. However, due to the bigger shell needed to carry the extra weight, the range of the attack is decreased by 10ft. * Anti-Carapace Grenade/Shell: Specialty explosive shells used for anti-Grimm operations, Anti-Carapace Shells deal half the damage to the targets in range, but ignore the total Armor Class of the Grimm in said range. * Stun Grenade/Shell: Dealing no damage, Stun Grenades/Shells are good for both anti-Grimm and anti-personel combat. When attacked with a Stun Grenade/Shell, the Target(s) must make a Fortitude Save DC 21. If they succeed the save, they are Dazzled. If they fail the save, they are instead Dazed for a single round. If they fail the save by 10 points or more, they are instead Stunned for a single round. When making Stun Grenade/Shells, the Player can increase the Craft (Ammo) DC by 5 points, to a base start of DC 20, to increase the DC of the Fortitude Save by +5. * Sting Grenade/Shell: Speciality ammo for explosive ordinance weaponry, Sting Grenade/Shells only deal half damage, as they are filled with hundreds of tiny, rubber balls instead of an explosive. When hit by a Sting Grenade/Shell, the Target must make a DC 21 Reflex Save or suffer a Cheap Shot, Disarm, or Trip special Action, rolling a d3 to determine which one, a one is a Cheap Shot, a two is Disarm, and a three is a Trip. When making Sting Grenade/Shells, the Player can increase the Craft (Ammo) DC by 5 points, to a base start DC of 20, to increase the DC of the Reflex Save by +5. * Smoke Grenade/Shell: Dealing no damage, Smoke Grenade/Shells fill the area with thick smoke, blocking vision into and out of the cloud. The cloud lasts for 3 rounds, and can be blown away by strong winds. When crafting Smoke Grenade/Shells, the Player can increase the Craft (Ammo) DC by 5 points to also make the smoke block the Scent ability of Faunus from working in the smoke cloud and from detecting in the smoke cloud. The smoke can be colored with any variety of single colors.

\page # Dust ## What is Dust? Dust is a naturally occurring, crystallized energy source used throughout Remnant, also known many, many years ago as 'Nature's Wrath', the substance that gave humanity the chance to fight back against the Grimm. It is used for everything from, batteries to fuel to weapons, and everything in between. Dust originally is found in one of four base kinds: Fire, Water, Earth, and Wind.

Credit: RoosterTeeth While there are only the four 'base' types, other elements of Dust can be created by mixing together Dust, which can occur naturally or through intervention. The amount of different Dust types is seemingly limitless, but the practical uses of the near infinite types are severely limited. A powerful weapon, Dust must be refined and properly treated before it can be used. In it's natural, raw state, Dust is highly volatile, prone to massive explosions. Once reformed, Dust is highly safe to use. When fighting with Dust, the Player delcares Melee or Range before attacking. They must perform a Dust Use Check in order to activate the Dust, followed by a respective Attack Roll, and defended by a basic Defense Roll. Dust Attacks cost 2 Actions to perform. Using a Ranged Dust Attack in Melee provokes an Attack of Opportunity. If an Attack Roll reveals a 1 on the Dust Use Check, the die is rerolled, the Modification Points are tallied, and the Player loses that much Dust for the failed Activation, however they may try again with subsequent Actions. On a Natural 20 on the Dust USe Check, the Player revieces 4 free Modification Points to a Single Parameter of making Dust, such as Damage, Saving Throw DC, or Secondary Effect Duration. ## Types of Dust Aside from the four primary kinds of Dust. there are a number of different cominations of Dust that are made through mainly undisclosed ways, however, Academies carefully moniter when students are tasked to make their ammo. Most secondary effects of Dust only applicable as bullets, or ranged Dust attacks. * Fire/Burn: Fire Dust is known for it's powerful Burning side effect, dealing damage over time. As well, Fire Dust has an easier time in attacking targets that are higher in the air, as fire naturally rises. * Ice: Coupled with it's ability to deal the Chilled, Frostbite Frozen Conditions, Ice Dust is able to control the field well with it's Conditions, coating the field in ice, and damage output. Thanks to it's weight, Ice Dust has advatanges to attacking targets on lower ground. * Lightning: With many ways to control it, Lightning Dust is known for the Dazed, Dazzled, and Stunned Conditions. In addition, it has the ability to arc between targets and tear straight through certain targets. Compounding onto it's power, Lightning Dust has added accuracy against Targets wearing a great deal of metal. * Wind/Air: With it's powerful gusts, Wind Gust can easily knock Targets Prone, or cause them to be Off Balance or Winded when struck. In addition, Wind Dust has the capability to completely ignore a Dexterity Based Defender's Dextrity Modifier when Wind Dust is used to attack them. * Water: Water Dust's surging waters inflicted the Doused Condition to Targets it hits, as well as Prone. Similar to how Wind Dust counters Dexterity Defenders, Water Dust acts the same to Constitution Defenders. * Earth/Rock: With terrain altering capabilities, Earth Dust provides support in the Off Balance and Weighted Conditions to Targets they hit. Rounding out the trio of Defensive Ruiners, Earth Dust follows the same feature to Strength Based Defenders as Wind is to Dexterity and Water is to Constitution. * Gravity: Gravity Dust allows for ease of crowd control, Gravity Dust inflicts Prone and Winded to those who are hit, even forcibly moving people around. * Steam: A mix of Water and Fire Dust, Steam Dust mixes Fire Dust's Burning Condition with Water Dust's Doused Condition. Steam Dust is known for lingering in large areas for some time, as well as causing visual imparing clouds. * Light: While it deals damage, Light Dust is used for a multitude of Conditions: Blinded, Dazed, Dazzled, and Stunned. With a wide variety, Light Dust can be Dust intense at times to fully master. * Darkness: Just like Light Dust, Darkness Dust does deal damage, but is mainly used for the Blinded Condition, only trumped by Faunus' Night Vision. * Thunder: Able to inflict the Prone, Sickened, Nauseated, and Ringing Conditions, Thunder Dust is highly versatile with it's Conditions and damage, even more powerful with a unique trait to deal more damage when attacking in ranged Cones or Bubbles. * Hard-Light: Primarily used for Defense, Hard-Light Dust is capable of combat uses in the right trained hands of students and trained Huntsmen and Huntresses alike. Hard-Light Dust is normally seen with Shield using combatants.

\page * Magma: Heavily offensive and rather slow, Magma dust is a powerhouse for raw damage, and keeping areas locked down with deep pools of Lava/Magma. A unique trait of Magma Dust is it's ability to deliver the Burning Trait to targets at a short distance of it, and with proper Dust training, transform it into glass-like Obsidian. * Plant: Like Ice and Earth Dust, Plant Dust is able to control the field very well. Many Conditions can be applied to the Dust, mainly limited by Terrain and the availible plantlife. * Combustion: With little known on how to use it, at most known is Combustion Dust's ability to power machines and vehicles in a similar way to gasoline. It's color is currently unknown, and so are it's uses. ## Using Dust Using Dust itself is modestly simple. If one wishes to use it for it's core feature of extra damage, then one does not need to put much thought into Dust, or the Use Dust skill. However, if one wishes to truly use Dust to it's fullest, then a higher Intelligence and a high Use Dust skill is needed. Using Dust with an attack cost no extra actions, as manipulating the Dust is part of the Attack. Dust can be used for Defense as well. When using it for Defense, the Player rolls a Dust Use Check instead of their Base Defense Roll. This drains 10 Grains of Dust from the type selected. If the Dust Use roll fails, they are hit, and waste the Dust. If they succeed, the attack is blocked, and may attempt to place a Condition on the Target(s) that the Dust type can inflict with a Base Saving Throw from the Target(s). Dust is limited on how many different effects a person can use while using it. Increasing the amount of effects is based on the number of ranks in Knowledge (Dust) and their roll of the Dust Use Skill. For every 4 ranks in Knowledge (Dust), not the total skill, the Player may add one Modifier Point to their Dust attack. After totaling the amount of extra Modification Points gained through Skill Ranks alone, the Player then rolls their Dust Use skill. They gain an additional Midification Point for every 4 points they roll in total. For example, if a Player has 17 ranks of Knowledge (Dust), they are given 4 extra additions to their Dust attack, as 4 goes into 17 four times. If the total roll is 35, they are given 8 extra additions to their Dust attack in addition to the 4 from their Knowledge (Dust) ranks, meaning the player has 12 modifications to their Dust attack. Dust comes in four different vial sizes: Small, Medium, Large, and Extra large. When creating their weapon, a player's Weapon starts with one free Small Dust Vial of any element of Dust. Dust is measured in Grains, and each Vial size contains a different amount. Small Vials contain 2,000 Grains, Medium Vials contain 4,000 Grains, Large contain 6,000 Grains, and Extra Large contain 8,000 Grains. While it does seem like a lot, people who find themselves going for a Dust Use build might find that this might not even be enough, but with proper use and timing, players can make even the Small vials last long enough in combat. Players may have multiple types of the same Dust Vials in their weapon. All attacks deal 10 extra damage when using Dust. If a player is using Dust just for the extra damage, no Dust Use roll is needed, but drains 2 Grains per turn the affect is active. When using Dust Use for more indepth skills, the following bullet points can be used to better determine what affects happen. For every Modification Point Spent, the Player must spend 2 Grains of Dust, and can choose to spend as many Modification Points as they wish, up to their rolled Limit. Unless stated that the Modification Points are free, all Modification Points require the use of Dust to use. * All Damage starts at Base 10. When using Modification Points to increase the damage, it increases by 5 per Modification Point spent to Damage. * All Attacks have 2 different ranged listed in their Base Type, which is listed below. There are increases for Casting Distance, and increases for Area of Effect Distance, both of which must be paid for seperately. Increasing the range of either by 10ft costs 1 Modification Point. * All Save DCs for secondary affects, such as Burning, Doused, and Winded, start at a 15 Fortitude or Reflex save, based off the Condition listed in the Dust Type. When using Modification Points to ncrease the DC of all secondary effects, the DC is increased by 3 Points. * All Secondary Effect Damage, such as Burning, starts at 8. When using Modification Points to increase the Secondary Effect Damage, it increases by 2 Damage. * All Secondary Effect Duration, such as from Burning, Doused, and Winded, start with a duration of 2 Rounds. When using Modification points to increase the duration of secondary affects, increase the duration of the Condition by 1 extra Round. With Dust's highly shapeable features, all Dust needs to have a basic style of use that allow it to take shape. Below are the list of the many shapes and styles, some of which need Modification Points to use. * Bolt: Known with many words such as 'Ball', 'Projectile', 'Bolt', 'Shard', 'Shear', and 'Blast', based on the type of Dust used, this is the most basic ranged attack Dust has, costing no Modification Points to use. Bolt style attacks can only deal damage to a single Target, but have a maximum range of 50ft that can be extended. * Cone: Known through Fire Dust's 'Flamethrower' style, Cone shapes require no Modification Points to use. However, these attacks must start from a space that is adjacent to the Attacker's occupied space. Cone attacks deal their damage to all Targets in a 15ft range in front of the Attack on a single plane, effectively the X or Y axis, vertically or horizontally. For an additional Modification Point, the Attacker may make the Cone shape attack on both planes at once, making a shotgun like cone that attacks all in the range.

\page * Line: Requiring a solid object to travel along, Line attacks attack all Targets in their shape, starting at a 25ft long straight line. The Attacker may make the Dust Attack take a turn to any adjacent space at the end of the Line attack's range at the cost of 1 Modification Point. There is no limit to the amount of times the Attacker may make the Line attack change direction, but the total distance of the attack cannot exceed the total range of the Line attack. * Bubble: Requiring 1 Modification Point to use, Bubble attacks have a base range of a 15ft Radius Circle, with the center of the circle being the Attacker. Bubble style attacks are known through many as 'Shielding' attacks to proect and damage. Every space aside from the center space, the Attacker, is targeted for the attack. Bubble attacks may also be combined with other Dust Shapes that end with a single space or target, such as Line or Bolt, allowing the Bubble to be called from the space desired at the cost of 2 Modification Points. * Cylinder: Colloquially called 'Rain' or 'Weather' by some Huntsmen and Huntresses, Cylinder attacks start as a 20ft radius circle on a space where the Attacker can see. This shape deals damage to all targets in the area. Cylinder attacks require 1 Modification Point to use. * Sphere: Similar to the Bubble, the Sphere shape is as it's name is. Sphere attacks can be performed at an initial range of 50ft away. The Sphere is 30ft in diametere in all ranges. It costs 1 Modification Points to make a Sphere attack. When used to increase the range, Modification Points may be spent to either increase the Sphere itself, or the range at which is may be called. * Wall: Costing 2 Modification Points to use, Wall shapes do as said. Walls start with the length of 30ft length, 15ft height, 5ft thickness, and durability based on the type of material, such as Ice, Earth, Plants, or Hard-Light. When using Modification Points to increase the range, each Point can be used increase the 10ft on a single aspect, or 5ft on two aspects. Ice Walls have a Durability of 15 Points of Health per 5ft of thickness, however take double damage from Fire Dust. Earth Walls have a Durability of 30 Points of Health per 5ft of thickness. Plant Walls have a Durability of 10 Points of Health per 5ft of thickness, can be regenerated with Water Dust, but take double damage from Fire Dust. Hard-Light Dust is immune to all damage, but requires double the Grains of Dust to use. All Walls last for 2 Rounds, and are treated as Secondary Effects for Modification Points. * Bomb: A mix of the Sphere and Bolt shapes, the Bomb shape require 2 Modification Points to use. In short, the Bomb Shape is the Bolt and Bubble Shapes mixed in one, however with the caveat of the Sphere shape having it's range cut to 15ft, and affects all spaces inside the Bubble. * Geyser: The primary method for Magma Dust, Geyser Shape requires 2 Modification Points to use. The Attack selects a spot they can see without 50ft of them, and the attack funnels out of the ground. The attack deals it's full damage to all Targets on that spot and 25ft into the air above it. The attack then rains down in a Bubble that is 10ft wide on all ends, and as tall as the Geyser. When Modified to increase range, only the Height may be increased. For every Modification Point spent on increasing the height, the Geyser's spray increases by 5ft on all sides. * Miasma: A sort of floating aura, Miasma Shape floats around a set area, dealing it's damage. Costing 3 Modification Points to create, Miasma Shapes fill a total space of 30ft. Miasma Shapes fill in all spots in the area, and when they cannot, they fill in spots starting the furtherest from the Attacker. Miasma Dust deals it's damage when a Target(s) start their turns, and secondary effects repeat. Miasma Dust lasts 3 Rounds. * Veil: Very similar to Miasma, Veil follows the Attacker around. However, Veil only has a range of 20ft in spaces. The Attacker is immune to their own Veil Dust's effects. Like Miasma, Veil costs 3 Modification Points to use and last 3 Rounds. * Bombardment: A wild mix of a number of Dust Shapes, Bombardment, sometimes called Artillery, rains down Dust explosions on a field. Costing 3 Modification Points to use, Bombardment Dust has a range of a 20ft square, and attacks randomly. Each space is marked by a number, and a die is rolled to see which space is hit. In the event of an amount of squares in which normal dice will not work, online dice rolls might be needed, or a d100 to work the percents. Initially, Bombardment Dust attacks with 5 Bolt Shapes, but deals half of it's damage to all spaces that are adjacent to the initial spot. The Attacker may increase the number of Bolts by 2 per Modification Point. Bombaradment Dust must be used a minimal of 30ft away from the Attacker, and can be a total of 100ft away from them as well, which can be extended by 10ft per Modification Point. * Malleable: Possibly the most flexiable and straightforward Shape to use, Malleable Shapes grant the Attacker a total of 8 5ftx5ftx5ft cubes to use. They may have a Malleable Shape start from any space they may see within 20ft of them. Each cube must connect to another by a shared side, not including corners. The Malleable Shape costs 5 Modification Points to use, and when increasing Shape Range, when allocating Modification Points, the Player may either increase the range they may start the Malleable attack, or the amount of Cubes by 2.

\page ## What are the Limits? Like the combinations of Dust, the only limit one can do with it is through their imagination, practicality, and overall limits of their surroundings. Is there a raging fire? Water Dust to put it out. Is there a chasm that needs to be crossed? Use Earth or Ice Dust to make a bridge. Car needs a kickstart? Quick jolt of Lightning Dust. Situations like this require the Dungeon Master to think of an appropriate cost of Dust. However, one major flaw about Dust, when used as a weapon for Students at least, is that it requires the use of Aura to work. While it does not cost anything, and if it did, it it highly negligable, Dust will not react in combat without Aura. While in combat, Dust is highly limited through their Dust Use skill in general, outside combat, players should be allowed more free and less rigid ruling on what to do, as the stress of combat can only allow so much time, and requires much more reflex thinking. Outside of combat, however, the time to do certain things and the usual lack of stress allow much more free thinking. If a player is, for example, making an Earth Dust bridge like listed above, and there is no immediate danger, a player should be allowed to make the bridge without the need of a Dust Use check, however they are still required to expend Dust Grains. Some players with certain Semblances can also combine the effecs of their Semblance and Dust. In doing so, this is a Dust Use check as well, with a flat DC of 15. If a failure, the Dust used it wasted, but this does not affect the player's action in combat. With a Successful check, the player may combine the actions of their Dust Roll and their Semblance, and while costing both Aura and Dust Grains, the effects are usually much more powerful than not, as Semblance effects are usually more specific, and unable to be mimiced by Dust.

Credit: RoosterTeeth For Example, Ruby Rose, who has the Semblance of Speed, wants to mix Dust and her Semblance. Her Use Dust Skill is only at what her base Intelligence Modifier is, which is a +3, and she does not have any Ranks in Knowledge (Dust), so her chance of doing this is slightly above a fifty-fifty chance. Using Fire Dust, she wants to use her Speed to Dash to an enemy and use the Dust to leave a trail behind her to cut off other Grimm. She rolls a 10 on the d20 roll, and only gets a total of a 13, meaning she fails the Dust Use check, however her Action to 'Use her Semblance and Dash to the Grimm to attack' is still a valid choice, though she is now locked into that attack. Weiss Schnee, on the other hand, is much more trained in Dust Use and Knowledge (Dust), with a base Intelligence Modifier of a +5, a Dust Use skill of a +10, and a total of 5 ranks in Knowledge (Dust), Weiss has a total of a +15 to her Dust Use. Her chances of failing the combination of her Semblance and Ice Dust is practically impossible, only failing her chance on a natural 1 on her d20. Her attack easily succeeds, and her Ice Dust attack is easily able to go off. ## Dust in Detail * Fire Dust. While limited in basic extra effects, Fire Dust is, in essence, fire! It can light flammable liquids, like oil and gasoline, and spark dry tinder on fire. When attacking targets at a higher range, Fire Dust increases it's chance to hit as stated before, getting a +2 Base Attack Bonus. A Modification point increases this bonus by a +2. When hit by Fire Dust, the Target(s) must make a Reflex check or catch on fire and suffer the Burning Condition when a Modification Point is used. Fire Dust is colored Red, and is also called Burn Dust. * Ice Dust. Much more versitile than Fire, but still lacking in terms of Earth's sheer versatility. As ice is heavy, it has an easier time targeting enemies that are lower than the attack, and gain a Base Attack Bonus of +2, which can be upgraded by +2 per Modification point spent. When used to create ice slicks or the likes, all players moving over it must pass a base Reflex Save or fall Prone. Running over the ice increases the DC by 10 points automaticallty, and moving half speed allows players to ignore this DC. A single Modification Point must be used in order to apply the Chilled Condition to a Target with a failed Base Fortitude Save. 2 Modification Points allows the attacker to attempt to place the Frozen Condition on their Target if they fail a base Reflex Save, or the Frostbite Condition if the Target fails a Fortitude Save. Ice Dust is colored Light Blue, and is a combination of Wind and Water Dust. * Lightning Dust. One of the few Dusts mainly used for powering the world of Remnant, Lightning Dust is also a very strong contender for Area of Effects. When used to Arc, the player may pick two targets after the initial, which increases by one target per Modification point. Every time an attack Arcs, the damage drops by half, rounded down, and it cannot arc past more targets in a single arc is dropped to 1 damage. No target may be selected twice by the Arcing side effect. When used as a Line, Lightning Dust hits all targets in a straight line, and continue onward even if the attack was stopped. If a Target has a substantial amount of worn metal, or carrying a metal weapon, Lightning Dust gains a +2 to hit, and increases by +2 per Modification Point. The Attacker may attempt to Dazzle a Target for 1 Modification Point, Daze a Target for 2 Modification Points, or Stun a Target for 3 Modification Points. All Condition Saves start at a base Fortitude Save. Lightning Dust is colored Yellow, and is also called Electricity Dust.

\page * Wind Dust. While Wind Dust lacks in some versatility, it has a very powerful benefit. When attacking, the Attacker may spend 2 Modification Points to allow them to use Wind Dust's capability to remove their Dexterity from their Base Defense Bonus, however if the Target does not use Dexterity, this ability is wasted. For 1 Modification point, the Attacker may apply either the Off Balance, Prone, or Winded, at a base Fortitude Save. For a total of 3 Modification Points, the Attacker may apply the condition and change the Fortitude Save into a Strength Save. Wind Dust is colored White, and is also called Air Dust. * Water Dust. Water Dust gains the free benefit of putting out fires, and allowing Lightning Dust to deal double damage to targets that have been successfully hit by Water Dust in the past round. Water Dust's capability to remove a Target's Constitution from their Base Defense Bonus requires 2 Modification Points to use, however if the Target does not use Constitution to Defend, these points are wasted. The Attacker may spend 1 Modification Point to inflict the Target(s) with the Doused Condition. For 2 Modification points, when a target(s) is/are hit as well, the target(s) must make a Base Fortitude Save or be pushed 10ft in any direction away from the Attacker and be knocked Prone. The distance increases by 5ft per Modification point, and the attacker may turn the Fortitude save into a Strength Check for 2 Modification Points. Water Dust is colored Blue. * Earth Dust. Like Water and Wind Dust, Earth Dust has a powerful effect as well. At the cost of 2 Modification Points, the Attacker may activate Earth Dust's ability to remove the Target's Strength from their Base Defense Bonus, and like Water and Wind, if the Target does not use Strength to defend, the Modification Points are lost. Highly shapable and limited by natural gravity and limits of dirt and stone, Earth Dust can be used for a lot of offensive and defensive capabilites. When used with ranged attacked, for 1 Modification Point, the Attacker may force the Target(s) to attempt a base Reflex Save or become Off Balance or Prone. For 2 Modification points, the Attacker may make their Target(s) perform a base Reflex Save of DC 15 or become Weigthed. Earth Dust is colored Dark Orange, and is also called Rock Dust. * Gravity Dust. Raw damage and crowd control, Gravity Dust is a straight forward beast to use. Gravity Dust increases the damage of all Melee attacks by 6 points, and increases it by 2 points per Modification Point added. When used to force a Target Prone, or make them Winded, a base Forititude DC is needed, as well as a Modification Point. Gravity Dust can also forcibly reposition targets by levitating them, requiring a base Reflex Save to avoid being forcibly moved through Gravity Dust. They may be moved a base 10ft away, and increases by 5ft per Modification Point spend on this. Gravity Dust is colored Black or Purple. * Steam Dust. A mixture of Fire and Water, Steam Dust is a very strong contender as basic Area of Effect attacks, as all attacks erupt into a burst of steam. When Steam Dust is used to form Shapes with Areas of Effect, all ranged attacks start with a base 10% to instantly miss due to the steam, and once it reaches 50%, Melee attacks have the same fail chance. This Miss Chance may be increased by 10% per Modification Point spent, and when the percentage reaches 75%, Targets inside the Dust are obscured by the steam, and unable to have many features depicted, unless things such as Faunus traits or weaponry. Ranged Steam Dust attacks gain a free 2 Modification Points to increase the Area of all Shapes, and the lingering cloud lasts for 4 total rounds. While in the steam cloud, which lasts for the base 2 rounds, the damage is the base 5 damage, which cannot be avoided through a save, but can only take this damage once per round, when the target enters the steam cloud, or ends their turn in it. Wind Dust can dispurse the steam instantly. Steam Dust is colored Gray, and is a combination of Fire and Water Dust. * Light Dust. Creating quick flashes of light, the base Light Dust burst is long enough to obscure the user's movement. When used for it's Secondary Effects, it costs 1 Modification Point to apply Dazzled, 2 Modification Points for either Blinded or Dazed, and 3 Modification Points for Stunned, all which are Fortitude Saves. Light Dust is colored Silver. * Darkness Dust. The opposite of Light Dust in concept, Darkness Dust can do the same things as Light Dust, though it is highly favored by Faunus for their ability to see through this darkness with ease. Darkness Dust can apply the Blinded condition with a Fortitude Save. However, if Darkness Dust is used to make any Shape that lingers due to Rounds, every Target in the range must do the same Fortitude DC or be Blinded for as long as they stay within the Shape. Darkness Dust is colored Black. * Thunder Dust. The king of being over the top, Thunder Dust is usually mixed with other dusts for Thunder Dust's unqiue ability. Whenever Thunder Dust is used to create a Shape in which affects a large area, such as Bubble, Sphere, or Bomb, Thunder Dust instantly doubles the the damage of the attack, which must be chosen at the time of making the attack, which can be ignored to keep the original damage if so wished. In doing so, however, this doubles the cost of the Dust in it's entirety. Adding the Prone or Ringing Conditions cost 1 Modification Point each, and must be applied seperately. Adding Sickened requires 2 Modification Points, and adding Nauseated required 3 Modification Points. All of these Conditions require Fortitude Saves. Thunder Dust is colored Ash Gray.

\page * Hard-Light Dust. Mostly used for defense, Hard-Light Dust increases the Player's Base Defense Bonus by +2 per Modification point used. When mixed with other Dust, it's Bonus against that element of Dust is doubled, and cut in half against all other sources. Hard-Light Dust may also be used to reduce damage by 1 point per 2 Dust used. Hard-Light Dust stays active for as many rounds as the User wishes, but may pay the same cost the Dust at the start of their Round, if they do not, the Hard-Light Dust fades. Hard-Light Dust is colored Cyan. * Magma Dust. Like Gravity, Magma has a strong capability for damage, and like Earth and Ice, it works wonders for crowd control. When used, Magma can be used to create geysers and flumes of it. When a magma flume is made, it naturally rests on the field for 2 Rounds. Magma Dust's prized Secondary Effect is the ability to deal the Burning Condition to Targets hit by the initial attack and when they are within 10ft of it, requiring a Reflex Save. When exhausted or doused in water, Magma Dust hardens into rock, and can be manipulated into obsidian and glass with proper training and Feats. Magma Dust is colored Bright Orange. * Plant Dust. Somewhat hard to use, Plant Dust provides the ability to make plantlife in select areas grow or wither. When used for Ranged attack Shapes, Plant Dust can be used to create the area attacked into Rough Terrain for 1 Modifier Point, and lasts for a total of 3 rounds before withering, which can have the duration extended. Plant Dust can also be used to engage in ranged Grapple checks for 2 Modifier Points, using the Player's Intelligence Modifier instead of either Strength or Dexterity to engage or maintain it. Plant Dust can cause the Entangled Condition as well, for 2 Modification Points, needing a Base Reflex Save DC 15 to avoid. However, despite being fortified with Dust, plants altered by Plant Dust are still susceptible to extreme heat and cold, as well as fire. Plant Dust is colored Forest Green. >##### Variant Dust - Removal and Limiting Currently shown in the show of RWBY, only 12 types of Dust have been shown off. If desired, Dungeon Masters may remove the following Dust Types, as they are non-canon and simply fanmade to give more variety: Light Dust, Darkness Dust, Thunder Dust. This also, in turn, removes all of the Feats that are linked to the three removed Dust Types. Dungeon Masters may also limit the types of Dust at the start of the campaign for Players to use. A Suggested limit is Fire, Ice, Lightning, Wind, Water, and Earth Dust. ``` ``` ## Refined and Raw Dust comes in two natural forms: Raw hunks of Dust crystals, and refined Dust, found as smaller crystals and powder. Most, if not all, of the Players will be using Powered, Refined Dust. However, Dust Crystals may be used from time to time. Refined Dust Crystals should be given to Players under certain circumstances due to their still slightly erract nature. When using a Refined Dust Crystal, the Player must perform a Dust Use Check of DC 8. If they fail, the Crystal does not activate. Otherwise, the Player may then throw the Dust Crystal up to 30ft away from them in any direction, it which it explodes upon contact with a solid object, or after 1 Turn. On a roll of a 1, the Dust Crystal instantly explodes in their hand. If a Dust Crystal is attacked when exposed, or suffers significant enough stress, the owner of the Crystal must roll any even numbered die. On an odd result, the Crystal does not activate. On an even, it does. Upon using the Dust Crystal, whether on purpose or through a forced activation, it deals it's damage in a range of a 15ftx15ftx15ft cube, and deals 40 damage, which may be cut in half by a DC 18 Reflex Check. A Condition that the Dust Type can do is randomly selected and all Targets in the Area of Effect must roll a Save respective to the Condition, at DC 18. In addition, when properly using a Refined Dust Crystal, roll on the below table to see the secondary effect of the Crystal. When a Refined Dust Crystal is forcibly active, roll three times and take the highest and lowest result. If any number rolls double, that affect triggers above the other result, and at twice the effect. ##### Refined Dust Crystal Activation Chart || |:----:|:------| | 1 | The Dust Crystal deals Double Damage | | 2 | The Dust Crystal's range is Doubled | | 3 | The Dust Crystal's Condition DC is increased by 4 points| | 4 | The Dust Crystal delays it's activation by an additional turn | | 5 | The Dust Crystal randomly selects a second Condition to apply to all Targets if aplicable | | 6 | The Dust Crystal deals it's damage twice, triggering the effects twice | | 7 | The Dust Crystal's DC to cut it's damage in half is increased to 27 | | 8 | The Dust Cyrstal explodes halfway through it's range when thrown |

\page Raw Dust Crystals are to be kept very far from Students, as Raw Dust Crystals are highly volatile. Raw Dust Crystals are usually only found in mines, deep in the world of Remnant. If a Player does get their hands on one, they should be warned of their dangers. When used, the Player must make a Dust Use Check of DC 14, however if the Dust Use Check reveals a 1, 2, or 3 on the die roll, the Raw Dust Crystal explodes on the Player's person. Raw Dust Crystals may be thrown 35ft, and explode in a 20ftx20ftx20ft Cube. Raw Dust Crystals deal 100 Damage, and do not offer a Reflex Save to cut the damage in half. Raw Dust Crystals apply a random Condition from the list that they can apply at a respective Save DC of 21. When hit in any way, or subject to stress, Raw Dust Crystals rolls a d8. When a 1, 2 or 3 is rolled, the Raw Dust Crystal does not activate, but activates on any other number. Raw Dust Crystals explode upon contact on any solid surface, or once the Player's turn ends. When a Raw Dust Crystal is successfully activated, either through a Dust Use check, or through forced activated, the Player rolls on the chart below. When activated properly, the Player rolls twice on the chart and uses both. However, when activated through force, the Player rolls 4 times and each effect activates. If 2 dice reveal the same number, the other 2 dice become that result. If the dice reveal 2 pairs, such as two 1's and two 4's, both affects are triggered in four times the effect. ##### Raw Dust Crystal Activation Chart || |:----:|:------| | 1 | The Raw Dust Crystal deals Triple Damage | | 2 | The Raw Dust Crystal's range is doubled | | 3 | The Raw Dust Crystal triggers all possible Conditions that the Dust type can apply at once, each rolling a seperate Save | | 4 | The Raw Dust Crystal's Condition DC is increased by 6 Points | | 5 | The Raw Dust Crystal delays it's activated by 1d6 extra turns | | 6 | The Raw Dust Crystal's Condition must be rolled for twice, and the Target(s) must take the lower roll for their Save | | 7 | The Raw Dust Crystal explodes for 1d4 turns | | 8 | The Raw Dust Crystal explodes twice during the activating when thrown |

\page # Aura and Semblances ## A Weapon of the Soul Aura, a powerful force that all living beings can produce. Taking the appearance of a shimmering shield of a color, usually after the person's Color Name Rule, a being's Aura is their first, and usually last, line of defense in a world filled with Grimm. Aura protects all living beings from harm while it is manifested, taking some control and focus by the person to summon it, Aura can block almost all attacks and damage. Flickering when hit, the Aura absorbs the entirty of the damage and allows the person to let the attack harmlessly roll off, although the pain of the attack is felt through the Aura. While a solid line of defense, Aura can only withstand so much punishment before breaking, and rendering the person at risk of permanent damage. While mainly used for defense, some people who are highly adept at controlling it can use it as a weapon with short-range projections, and project it out in short barriers to block oncoming attacks.

Credit: RoosterTeeth ## Fueled by the Soul Semblances. Fueled by a persona's Aura, a Semblance is a part of a person, a creation of who they are, manifested into a power. This power is called a Semblance, and is a key part in the career in any Student. While most people unlock their Semblance early on in their life, for others it can take some time, spanning well into adulthood before a person can figure out what it is. Semblances unlock in many different ways, and it is rather unpredictable with how it will happen. However, a person cannot unlock their Semblance if they have not unlocked their Aura, and they may not use their Semblance if they do not have any Aura. For a player to get their Semblance, players roll off of the following chart, and must pick one based on their Mythos, or their Personality. Each player is allowed five rolls on the list, and must pick from there. Rerolls may be allowed under certain circumstances. Semblances are limited in activity by only what the player can think of, and what the Dungeon Master interprets the Semblance to be. All Semblance skills require the use of Aura to use, and once again, it is up to the Dungeon Master to decide a starting cost of the skill. Players are allowed to start with up to three different abilities for their Semblance for free. ##### Semblance Chart || |:----:|:------| | 1 | Strength | | 2 | Dexterity | | 3 | Constituion | | 4 | Intelligence | | 5 | Wisdom | | 6 | Charisma | | 7 | Fire | | 8 | Ice | | 9 | Lightning | | 10 | Wind | | 11 | Water | | 12 | Earth | | 13 | Light | | 14 | Darkness | | 15 | Shadow | | 16 | Acid | | 17 | Fusion/Fission | | 18 | Kinesis | | 19 | Plants | | 20 | Speed | | 21 | Immunity | | 22 | Sound | | 23 | Illusion | | 24 | Scent | | 25 | Sight | | 26 | Hearing | | 27 | Healing | | 28 | Magnetism | | 29 | Fortitude | | 30 | Reflex | | 31 | Will | | 32 | Rage | | 33 | Mobility | | 34 | Flight | | 35 | Durability | | 36 | Fear |

\page ## Creating Semblance Skills When a Player rolls for their Semblance, after it has been selected, the Player is allowed up to 3 free abilties for it. These do not cost any EXP to creatre, but must be upgraded as normal through the EXP system if upgraded from the start. While the Player selects what they wish, the Dungeon Master and Player both work to figure out a starting value for the skills. For example, if the Player has the Sound Semblance, the Player is free to think of their own meaning of the word, and that is their Semblance. If they thing Sound means 'to Create Sound', then they can only Create Sound, not control it unless they made it. Their starting abilities could be to create a bullet of sound at attack a target, make a bubble of sound to give them an increase to Base Defense Bonus, and to to create sound waves that made Targets feel Sickened. These abilities have an Aura Cost, Damage, Range, Duration, BDB Bonus, Save Trigger and Base Save Difficulty Class as agreed by both the Player and Dungeon Master. Upgrades for each are agreed between the two, as well, and when selected, should stay the same throughout the entire upgrading process. Players should be given the chance to explore some more odd features of the Semblances, or mix them with Dust, or other Players' or NPCs' Semblances to create new effects. If a Player wishses to train their Semblance over the course of a set amount of time, Dungeon Masters should reward the Player with EXP dedicated to the use for Semblances only. ## Special Semblances While making teams for the players to encounter, Dungeon Masters do not have to follow the roll for major enemy semblances, picking some very unique ones to aid in a boss. Also, the above list may increase to any size of Semblamces Those are meerly some of the many ideas over the course of the creation of this system, as some bosses have unique ones that are not on this list. In that case, the d100 roll to get the five rolls would become more than just a d100, which will require the assistence of an online dice roller, one that I personally use is [rolz.org](https://rolz.org/) ## Semblance Traits All Semblances, when being used or directly after, give off a unique effect. This effect is only for aesthetic looks, and does not do anything, but display to others that someone has used their Semblance. The actual effect does not matter, but it fades out in a roughly two seconds, appearing from the user's body or the Semblance itself before vanishing. Examples of these are Ruby Rose's Speed Semblance, with rose petals dropping out from her cloak and her movement when she uses her Semblance; Weiss Schnee's Gylphs are an example of a Semblance where the 'after effect' is the effect; Blake Belladonna's Shadow Semblance is the after effect, lasting only as long as needed; Yang Xiao Long's Semblance of Rage has a lasting after effect of a fiery aura around her, as well as her eyes turning a deep red. ``` ``` ## Aura Recovery As a natural projection of a person's life force, a person's Aura can be naturally recovered with little issue. While outside of combat, a person's Aura recovers at a high rate while at rest, recovering by 30 points every minute, or 3 points every six seconds. The player also adds triple their Charisma Modifier (minimum 1) into this value. While in combat, however, Aura recovers at a much slower rate. A Player's Aura only recovers by 1 Aura per round. However, a player may spend an Action in order to gain more Aura. The player adds their Charisma Modifier (Minimum 1) to each action taken to recover Aura. A Player cannot recover their Aura if it is Broken. When recovering Aura, the Player gains 10 Aura per Action used to recover Aura, however every use of this ability decreases the amount of Aura gained by 1, meaning the second Action gains 9 Aura, and the third is 8 Aura, and so on, for a total of 55 Aura per combat. Also, if needed in extreme situations, a player may provide Aura to other people, either who do not have their Aura active, who have had their Aura depleted, or who are simply below their maximum Aura capacity. In doing so, a player reduces their own Aura by the amount they provided plus 3. If a player suffers major damage from lack of an aura, when a player's Aura returns, the body will very slowly repair itself, while not as effecient as modern medicine, Aura Healing is more than enough to provide a body with proper healing and repair to keep them going, if they treat themselves right after healing. In a case like this, a Player may supply them with more Aura to help the healing process, speeding it up. However, in doing so, the Player supplying their Aura reduces their Aura by 20 points a turn in order to do so. If a player's Aura has been broken in combat, retreating is more than a recommendation. One should hide, or be defended long enough for their Aura to return. If this happens in combat, the player must not take any actions regarding combat, other then using Actions to retreat, or other Skill-based Actions to do so, and if successful in not taking any strenuous actions, a Player's Aura will be brought back to 1 Aura after two minutes. If any action is taken, such as a Base Defense Roll to defend oneself, then the timer halts, and the player must spend an additonal round making sure they are safe from danger in order to have their Aura behing regenerating.

\page >##### Variant Semblance While one roll only might be a bit difficult to think of a number of new ideas for the Semblance aside from the lone word. A variant rule is to roll twice on the list, and then both words are merged into a single idea. For example, Wind and Clone would allow a Player to summon clones made of wind, or Lock and Illusion might allow a Player to force targets into thinking things are locked, or that they are unable to perform certain actions.

## Health While a Player's Aura keeps them extremely protected, there will come a time where it is broken, and the player might not be able to defend themselves against certain attacks. What happens then? Normally, this might not be an issues based on how Dungeon Master's run their fights, but for others, it might. While it doesn't need to be listed on the physical Character Sheet, it should be listed elsewhere, most likely a scrap piece of a paper, or if it is listed on the character sheet, it should be written in pencil. Health starts at a low number, 20 times the Player's Constitution Modifier, increasing in proportion as the Player's Constitution Modifier increases. This Health damage is taken as if it was Aura, except that it does not recover on it's own or as quickly as Aura, sometimes requiring weeks, or even months to fully recover if the damage is great, If the Player's Health reaches zero, the Player is considered dead. While harsh, it is more reasonable to have that outcome. Some Dungeon Master's might have 0 Health as 'Unconscious', and then another source of damage would be enough to kill them.

Credit: RoosterTeeth Health should be taken into consideration only when a Player is at 0 Aura. At any time when a Player is given the proper time to hide in combat to recover, their Aura will first apply it's healing benefit to recover their Health over their Aura first. Health is recovered by 1 Point of Health per 5 Points of Aura the Player should recover, to a minimum of 1 Point of Health per round. As stated in the Recovery Section above, other Players may supply their own Aura to help speed up this process, spending 20 Aura per use to heal the targeted Player 2 Health. While without an Aura, Players and NPCs are more vulnerable to Critical Hits, as the weapons of Huntsmen and Huntresses, and the might of the Grimm are now felt full force without the benefit of one's Aura to protect them. While suffering a Critical Hit that was not cancelled or ignored in some way, the Attacker may instead opt to ignore their Critical Hit Multiple and their damage, and instead remove a limb from their target, or deal a deep wound to their Target, such as organ damage. Cutting off the Target's head is not a valid option, same as cutting a Target clean in half, such as Hip to Hip, Shoulder to Hip, or Groin to Neck. As such, eligible limbs include: Arms, Legs, Eyes, Ears, or for Faunus, Wings, Tails and other unique Faunus traits are valid targets for the limb removal.

Credit: RoosterTeeth Missing limbs can be replaced with their Cybernetic counterparts, which are listed in the Dungeon Master's Section of this guide. Players should be given the chance to replace their missing limb(s) with their cybernetic counterpart at some point. In this case, the affected Player should still be given chances to train and live as normal as they can with their new limitation to gain a better understanding of their limits for the time until their new limb(s) is/are ready.

\page ## Health Recovery Much more in depth than just Aura, Health, as stated before, takes much longer to recover, and as such, can require Players and NPCs to be out of the action for much longer than normal. However, just because of their physical limitations, such as deep wounds, possible missing limbs, or simply bedridden, Players and NPCs should still be given time to be useful. For example, if a Player's Semblance allows them some way to stay active, the Player should be given the chance to follow his or her friend's around as his or her Semblance allows, but should be put on a 'time limit leash' in order to still stress the Aura limit of Semblances. If a Player is highly tech savy, they may be able to use their skills to remotely help their allies, such as through hacking their Scrolls to get remote access to certain things. During the recovery, however, Players will recieve various penalties based on the wound, and should be given the chance to remove them. For example, a large gash on their arm would lower their Strength due to the tearing of muscles. So to recover, Players should be given the chance to attend therapy to recover their missing Stregth, and possibly come out with it slightly higher if the Player pushes themselves further to prove their point of recovery. Dungeon Masters should find ways to keep the wounded Player in the story somehow, even if they have to race down a hallway in a wheelchair throwing Dust Crystals at someone to be beneficial. Even the use of medical correction equipment for wounds, such as limb/back/neck braces, crutches, and wheelchairs, Players might be able to gain benefits from using them, such as a Player gaining a bonus to Acrobatics or Base Defense Bonus for keeping balance due to them balancing on their crutches, or able to keep better posture and reduction of being staggered thanks to using braces to keep their body in a proper state.

\page # The Maidens and the Silver-Eyed Warriors ## The Legend of the Four Maidens Legend speaks of four women, from as early as man can remember. The story of the Maidens can be roughly explained as such: An old wizard lived away from the people of Remnant, deep in the woods. Spying four different girls over the course of time, he was visited by Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall. The four girls all sought to help the Wizard leave his home, and enjoy the land around him, even bringing a feast to him as he finally left his home. Asking who he is, the wizard replied that he is a simple hermit, with a story that no one would find interesting, as he had nothing. The girls proved that on his land, he had everything. The Wizard asked why him, thinking there must be a reason. Fall simply stated, they do good for people because of their care for people, not because of those who might or might not be special. In an act of gratitude for showing him meaning, the Wizard blessed the girls with every ounce of his magic. The Maidens were granted vast magical powers in return for their acts of kindness, and told to use them to continue their acts of kindness.

Credit: RoosterTeeth And thus is the story of the Maidens. Many believe this to be a myth, as many other stories of old. However, this is far from true. The Maidens' power is vast, being called 'Magic' by others. The power of the Maidens also held an interesting power as well. Upon their death, the power of the respected Maiden would be transfered to the last person in their thoughts, otherwise it is given to a person in Remnant. While the power is transfered almost always to women, men have been host of the power of the Maidens, though in short number. #### The Power of the Maidens Beings of magic, the Maidens are holders of grand magics. Unlike a person who must use their Semblance to create the somewhat 'magical' effects known in Remnant, a Maiden may create nearly any magical effect she wishes, mimicking a number of Semblance effects. These mimicked effects are brought on by the Wizard's gift, and thus, the Maiden does not need her Aura to cast her spells. Despite having their grand powers, Maidens are also born with the ability to unlock a natural Semblance, and should tend to use it over their Maiden magic. While using their Semblance, they drain Aura as normal. All Maidens have a visual display of their powers: A fire around their eyes. While visible without any form of masking, any objext that cover's the Maiden's eyes or face can mask the fiery effect. This effect, however, cannot be suppressed, and will always trigger when a Maiden calls upon their magic. Other than that effect, no other visiual signs appear when a Maiden uses their powers. While no other side effects are triggered on the Maiden themself, their powers might cause extra effect of their powers. For example, summoning of a lightning bolt might cause a loud crack of thunder to precede it. #### Playing a Maiden Having a player as a Maiden can be daunting if not handled right. Just like a Semblance, a Maiden must learn to control their Magic. Starting off, the Player still gains their Semblance as normal, rolled on the Semblance Chart. Once selected, the player has two options to gaining their Magic: * The Player rolls on the chart for Semblances twice. They gain the two rolled Semblances as Magic. * The Player selects one Semblance on the list. Then, the Dungeon Master selects another on the list. The Player then gains both selected Semblances as Magic. The two listed Magics are then filled out as if they were a Semblance, given three abilities for the Magics. The only difference is the lack of Aura cost. When upgrading Magic, the EXP rules are as follows: * Gaining a new Magic costs 600 EXP, selecting the one they wish. They may instead pay 500 EXP to roll on the chart randomly, or pay 400 EXP and let the Dungeon Master instead pick their new Magic. * Upgrading a select Magic costs 200 EXP. The Player must spend points on each specific ability. When upgrading the Magic, the Maiden is allowed two Upgrades for the single Magic, but must have two different features augmented. As stated, Magic functions the same as a Semblance, and as such can be mixed with Dust, or other Magic or the Player's Semblance, following the same rules as mixing Dust with a Player's Semblance.

\page #### Power Revered and Power Feared Not all of those who know of the Maidens find their Magic a blessing to the world. Many do see it as a threat that must be contained back, as four people who infinite control of their vast powers could easily terrorize the world of Remnant. While they dare not attack them, they do harbor feelings of hatred. On the same coin, however, many people do respect the Maidens of beings of purity and power, sent by a higher source to protect the weak. They do what they can to aid those Maidens who let their secret be known. A Maiden should be careful about displaying their powers, as they never know who may or may not be on their side. Care should be taken, and some sort of eye covering at miminal should be worn if they need to use their Magic, limiting themselves to as few Magics as possible, and having a solid lie to fall back on for their grand power. ## The Silver-Eyed Warriors #### The Legend of the Silver Eyes Possessed by a very, very slim number of people in current Remnant, the Silver-Eyed Warriors are the focal points of myths and legends, similar to the Maidens, however, records of their existence is rooted in fact rather than myth. It's stated and passed down through legends that the Silver-Eyed Warriors were grand warriors who fought Grimm before the establishment of the Kingdoms and the idea of Huntsmen and Huntresses. Possessing silver eyes, the core feature between Silver and Grey eyes are small white lines in their iris, which no other eye color have.

Credit: Unknown Those born with silver eyes are said to walk down the path of the warrior, slaying Grimm with so much as a glance, turning them into ice or rock. Many of their powers are truly unknown, but what is known is their deadly combat prowess, their Grimm slaying eyes, and their ability to negatively effect Maidens, though that limit is unknown. #### Playing a Silver-Eyed Warrior As many of their powers are unknown, playing a Silver-Eyed Warrior might be difficult. All that is known is their ability to effect Grimm and the Maidens, though the latter is unknown to what degree. The Silver-Eyed Warrior requires focus to use their powers. While powerful tools to slay Grimm, the Warriors are warned not to treat their power as a weapon, but as a tool to defend the weak in Remnant. They must focus on positive, happy thoughts, embracing the positive emotions that they bring. As they train, they can learn to focus quciker and quicker, eventually summoning their powers in an instant. The Silver-Eyed Warriors have a sign of their powers being used, aside from the aftermath. Their eyes flare with bright light, forming the shape of wings as it spreads over an area, damaging or slaying Grimm. This effect shines through any face covering, leaking from whatever holes or slits the protective wear might have, rendering it impossible to hide the activation of their powers. However, one of the greatest weaknesses, if the only known one, of the Silver-Eyed Warriors is that their eyes must not be damaged in order to use their powers. If the eyes are damaged in any way, the Silver-Eyed Warrior can never use their powers again, no matter how much their eyes have healed or have been surgically fixed. At first, the Silver-Eyed Warrior may only use their eyes to Stun Grimm, then eventually Damage Grimm, encase them in stone, ice, or the likes; and finally, kill them outright. The Silver Eyes follow the rules below: * The Concentration DC to Stun a Grimm is DC 30, affecting any single Grimm within line of sight with the Silver-Eyed Warrior. For 50 EXP, the Player may select an additional Grimm they can make full line of sight contact with. The Grimm must make a Will Save DC 25 or be stunned for 1 round. The Silver-Eyed Warrior may spend 50 EXP to increase the DC by 2 points, and they may spend 75 EXP to increase the Stun duration by 1 round. * For 500 EXP, the Silver-Eyed Warrior may buy the ability to Damage Grimm. The Silver-Eyed Warrior deals 40 Damage with this attack, targeting one Grimm they can see in their line of sight. The Conentration DC to deal damage to a Grimm is a DC 40, The Damage may be increased by 5 per 100 EXP, which bypasses all forms of Grimm damage reduction. For 50 EXP, the Player may select an additional Grimm to attack.

\page * For 750 EXP, the Silver-Eyed Warrior may buy the ability to encase a Grimm in a solid encasement of nature, such as rocks or ice, preventing them from moving. The Silver-Eyed Warrior targets a single Grimm in their line of sight to be trapped. The Concentration DC to trap a Grimm is 40. The Grimm must make a Strength check, Dexterity Check, Escape Artist Check, or Fly check of DC 25 + the Silver-Eyed Warrior's Concentration Modifier to escape. They must make this check three times to escape the effect. * For 1,000 EXP, the Sliver-Eyed Warrior may buy the ability to slay Grimm. With a meer look any a single Grimm they can see, the Silver-Eyed Warrior slays Grimm outright. It requires a Concentration DC of 50 to use. The Grimm must make a Will Save DC 35 to Survive. The Player may spend 100 EXP to increase the DC by 3 points. * The Silver-Eyed Warrior may spend 50 EXP to reduce the Concentration DC of any one ability by 2 points. If the DC is lower than their Concentration Bonus, then the Silver-Eyed Warrior no longer needs to make a Concentration Check for that particular ability. However, the Silver-Eyed Warrior cannot reduce the DC of the Grimm Slaying eyes below 30. * The Silver-Eyed Warrior MUST purchase the Eye Skills in order, buying the Damaging Eyes, then Binding Eyes, then finally Slaying Eyes. * For 125 EXP, the Silver-Eyed Warrior may select two of the Eye Skills they possess, except for Slaying Eyes. They may use both of these Skills together, but must make a Concentration DC equal to the higher DC + 5. If the DC after that is lower than the Silver-Eyed Warrior's Concentration, the DC Becomes their Concentration Bonus + 8. They must pay the EXP cost again to combine another two Eye Skills. * After using the power of the Silver Eyes, the Silver-Eyed Warrior must make a Constitution Save of DC 30 + 1 per number of times their power was used that day. Failure means the Silver-Eyed Warrior is Fatigued for 2 rounds plus 1 round per 5 points they failed the DC by. A natural 20 on any Save for this effect instantly resests the DC back to 30 for that day, as does at least 8 hours of rest. #### Do you Believe in Destiny? Despite the power of the Maidens in general, the power of the Silver-Eyed Warriors can trump that of the Maidens, as well as the Grimm. The limits of this is rather unknown, as the scarcity of Silver-Eyed Warriors, coupled with only four Maidens leaves very few opportunities to examine the effects. All that is known is that the Silver-Eyed Warriors can affect a Maiden in similar ways to a Grimm up until the Binding Eyes. A new ability is granted to target Maidens only: * The Silver-Eyed Warrior must spend 500 EXP to gain the ability to counter the magical abilities of the Maidens. The Maiden and Silver-Eyed Warrior must both make Concentration Checks when the Silver-Eyed Warrior declares the use of this ability on an ongoing Maiden magic. If the Maiden wins, the magic continues unaffected. If the Silver-Eyed Warrior wins, the magical effect ends instantly, though the Maiden may cast the same magic again on their next available turn. What other effects that the Silver Eyes have on the Maidens is highly unknown. At most, it seems like the Eyes can inflict mortal damage on a Maiden and disrupt their powers. A Silver-Eyed Warrior may use their Eye powers on a Maiden up to the specified ability as if a Maiden was a Grimm. However, due to the human nature of the Maiden, they may perform a Will Save DC Equal to the Silver-Eyed Warrior's Base Concentration DC - 5 to suffer half of the effect, be it the damage of Stun effect.

\page # Combat ## How else will the Grimm be beaten? Combat in and of itself should be somewhat 'simple'. For combat, Players and the Dungeon Master roll Initiative as usual, using their Dexterity Modifier for base Initiative checks, and goes from the highest order to the lowest order. However, Dungeon Masters are allowed to change how an Initiative Check is rolled based on the current situation. If the Players are sneaking around, the Dungeon Master might make the Players roll Stealth for their Initiative, and Perception for the NPC's Initiative. However, despite the type of roll, any Feats or Semblance abilities that modify Initiative provide their bonuses to the roll. Players and NPCs are free to delay their Initiative until they feel ready, but must act AFTER the Player or NPC that is currently acting, or that they choose to act on. >##### Initiavive Variant While normal Initiative is rolled into a long, single list, some people might feel this doesn't capture the more hectic, 'everyone is doing something' feel of RWBY. Other ideas for Initiative are as followed: * Players and Grimm or other NPCs roll for Initiative as normal. The Dungeon Msster then seperates the Players and NPCs into two seperate columns. There, it follows Initiative Order from top to bottom, with the first from each column going at once. If, for whatever reason, there are not the same amount of Players and NPCs in combat, the column with less amount of active members starts from the top, creating an 'uneven' Inititaive Talley. When selecting who goes first, if both slots wish to act, the higher of the two's Initiative gets first action. * Instead of rolling Initiative, Initiative is settled on who was acting first. From there, whoever is acting first, the Players or NPCs, agree on who acts first. Then, in the next slot, the other team goes, electing who goes there. This repeats until no one is left needing an action. A Player or NPC can only be selected for an Initiative Slot once. Players roll for their attack by combining their Base Attack Bonus with their respective Attacking stat, either Strength or Dexterity, or if a Feat or Semblance changes it, the respective stat. Defense is done the same way, combining their Base Defense Bonus with their respective Defending stat. If the Attacker rolls higher than the Defender, the attack succeeds. If the Defender rolls higher than the Attacker, or ties the Attacker's roll to hit, the Defender blocks the attack. ``` ``` For attacking, the Player may make a number of attacks up to their Number of Actions stat, which defines the number of total actions the Player can do. Moving, changing weapon forms, reloading, getting up from being prone, and a number of other actions up to Dungeon Master discretion all cost Actions. A number of feats allow certain actions to be done for free a certain number of times, such as Rapid Reload and Quick Change. >##### Attacking and Defending Variant While a single stat for both attacking and defending is fine, some Dungeon masters might want to make combat more difficult, or more realistic, based on their own choosing. When making the Base Attack Bonus stat, instead of just the single state, it is broken up into Base Attack (Melee), Base Attack (Ranged), and Base Attack (Dust), where Players must level each up individually. In this style, Players may choose their Melee stat as normal, but Ranged must be Dexterity, and Dust must be Intelligence. The Base Defense Bonus may be changed as well, to Base Defense (Dodge) and Base Defense (Block), meaning Players must level up each stat seperately. Dodge must be grouped with Dexterity, but Block may be linked to either Strength or Constitution. A Critical Hit is when an attack roll shows a 20 on the d20. A Critical Fail is when an attack roll shows a 1 on the d20. Critical Hits deal their weapon's damage, multiplied by the Critical Multiplier stated on the weapon. Only the weapon's damage is multiplied, nothing else. On a 1, the attack instantly fails, and based on various Feats or Semblance Abilities, the attacker may be open to various Attacks or effects. While defending, a 20 showing on the d20 is a Critical Defense, and a 1 showing on the d20 is a Defensive Failure. Critical Hits and Critical Defenses augment damage based on the opposed roll. On a Critical Hit, if the defender rolls a Critical Defense, the Attack is stopped completely. If a Critical Hit is rolled, and the defender rolls a number on their weapon's Critical Hit range that is not a Natural 20, the Critical Hit is reduced to normal damage. Example: Jett Kuro's Kusarigama have a Critical Hit range of 19-20, meaning he Critical Hits on a roll of a 19 or 20. If he is defending, and is struck with a Critical Hit, a Critical Defense of a 20 ignores the attack completely, or a reveal of a 19 on the Base Defense Roll ignores the Critical Hit and any affects that come from it, but Jett still takes the unmodified damage.

\page Moving is it's own Action, using 1 from the Player or NPC's total Number of Actions. They may move as many times as they have Number of Actions, increasing their movement speed greatly. While a movement option called Charging exists, it follows some special rules. Charging costs only one Action and allows the player to move at double their selected movement speed and allow another Action during the movement, or a variety of other actions granted through Semblances or Feats. However, once the Player has opted to Charge and has started their turn, they can only take 2 more Actions on their turn. Charging does not prevent a Player or NPC from taking other actions outside their turn. However, while moving, if the Player or NPC moves away from targets, they provoke an Attack of Opportunity. The Player is allowed to select a single target. This target does not get an Attack of Opportunity against the Player or NPC that moves, though every target that can reach them with a Melee Weapon is given one. This movement based Attack of Opportunity is ONLY triggered when the Player or NPC moving does so without being affected by Dust or movement based attacks, such as being washed away with Water Dust. Flying Grimm, Players, and NPCs will become an issue due to flying speeds and various Semblances. In order to figure out the range from the Attacker to the Target, the Player adds up the Height of the target and how far away they are. For example, Shiro wants to attack a flying Nevermore that is 65ft high in the air, and 30ft away from him. His Greatbow's range is 120. Since the Nevermore is effectively 95ft away, Shiro may attack the Nevermore. >##### Height Calculation Variant Some Dungeon Masters won't be as kind or simple as that, due to there being a well know, and taught method to find the proper lengths of a triangle's legs: The Pythagorean Theorem, a² + b² = c². The length of the Player to the Target's space is a. The height from the level of the Attacker to the Target itself is b. And the question: The length between the Attacker and the Target is c. Using the example above, a equals 65, and b equals 30. Following the steps for the forumla, 65² is 4,225, and 30² is 900. The two added together would be 5,125. After, c² is removed by taking the square root, and then the square root of 5,125 is roughly 71.589ft. Round to the nearest number, so 72. Round to the nearest 0 or 5, with 1 and 2 rounding to 0, and 3 and 4 rounding to 5. So, the distance between Shiro and the Nevermore is 70ft, much less than the 95ft from the simple method. Please only do this if you have access to something that can solve the equaltion. If not, please use the base version, as fun and quickness should come before realism. ``` ``` ## Aquatic Action While water combat isn't the most common, it is needed to be noted about what happens. Like real life, water is a great hazard in all ways. While submerged from the shins to the upper thighs, all Players and Grimm are considered in Difficult Terrain unless they have a Swim Speed. Once they are submerged up to their chest or proper equivalent, they are considered 'fully submerged' and require an Athletics Check to maneuver. Players or Grimm with a Swim Speed do not need to make this check. In order to move forward, a DC 10 Atheltics Check is required. A Success means that the Player or Grimm can move up to their Movement Speed. A Failure means that they can only move half of their Movement Speed. They must repeat this Check every time they wish to move. Charging and other quick movement based attacks and abilities cannot be performed unless one has a Swim Speed. Unless a Player or can breathe underwater, they must hold their breath. A Player or NPC can hold their breath for a total number of rounds equal to the Constitution Score, at which they must make a Constitution Save, not a Fortitude Save, of DC 10 or pass out from lack of oxygen. If they succeed, they may hold their breath for an additional round, and the DC increases by 1. If the Player or NPC has time to actively take in a deep breath of air, they may instead of their breath for three times their Constitution Score. Being hit by any attack causes the Target to lose 1 round of oxygen, as could strenuous activity. Combat also works differently. Thanks to the complex nature of most weaponry of the world of Remnant, many weapons might be rendered completely ineffective, or even ruined. At most, a Huntsman or Huntress' weapon may be ruined, or at the very least, unable to transform properly and fire. Weapons that have been submerged for some time must be properly cleaned and treated. While attacking a Target that is fully submerged underwater, weapons that deal Piercing Damage, such as Spears and such will deal their full damage, while Slashing and Blunt weapons such as Swords, Axes, Clubs and Fists, will only deal half damage to the target. Also, if a ranged attack is shot into the water, it suffers a compounding -2 to the Attack roll per every 10ft the Player attempts to attack through the water, unless the ranged weapon in question has the Underwater Quality, where it suffers no penalties.. Many Dust types are incompatible with fighting underwater, such as Fire and Earth Dust, however Steam Dust is perfectly acceptable to use Underwater. Lightning Dust cannot be truly controlled due to water's conductive nature, and when attacking with Lightning Dust, the Player must roll a d10, and ordered from 1 through 10, must use that Shape to control their Lightning Dust. The Player also gains 5 free Modification Points towards increasing range. The order goes: Cone, Line, Bubble, Cylinder, Sphere, Bomb, Miasma, Veil, Bombardment, Malleable. Also, while Underwater, Concentration Checks increase by 5.

\page ## Falling with Style Falling. Not really a thing that should happen. Players, NPCs, and Grimm who can fly all should have the abiity to control themselves in the air. The Fly skill is the keyed ability for this, as is Dexterity. When Flying, Targets are exposed to a few special rules to make sure they stay afloat in the air. However, the main issue isn't flying...it's falling. When a Target falls from the air, any distance higher more than 10ft , but less than 30ft, the Target takes only 1d6 points of damage from the fall. However, for every 5ft above 30ft from falling, the Target takes an additional 1d6 points of damage. Once the Target starts falling from at least 75ft, the damage is increased to 1d10 damage. Thanks to Aura, most of this damage isn't important, but the pain for it can be. High enough falls can trigger Conditions off Fortitude Saves based on various DCs from 10 through 30 based on how high the Target has fallen from. Some Conditions include Confusion, Dazed, Prone, Stunned, Winded, or even Unconscious. Based on what the Target falls on, and by how high, one or multiple Conditions might be applied at once, either through a single Fortitude Save, or multiple ones. While falling for than 30ft, Concentration Checks increase by 10 points, and when hitting the ground, all effects that required Concentration break and instantly end. If grabbed or able to catch something before falling more than 20ft, through a multitude of means, the Target takes half of the damage they fell before being caught. The Target must almost make a Strength Save of 5 + half the total Height they've fallen to catch the support. Various materials and handholes, such as tree branches, rope, or walls can alter the Save's DC. If they're caught by a person, the catcher must make the same Strength Save in order to keep their grip, but should be modified thanks to some better positioning and other conditions. ## You're Open! Mentioned many times in this system is the phrase Attack of Opportunity. These are special attacks that can 'break' the turn order when certain things have been triggered. When triggered, the Target who provoked it is subject to a single Melee attack from all enemies that can reach it with their currently acivated weapons, Semblances, or Feats. In game standard, this means the window of opportunity is too small for foes or Players to activate something to bolster the attack, having to make it right away. All Players, Grimm, and NPCs start with a single Attack of Opportunity ready to use. Once used, they must wait until their next turn for it to recover. Feats and certain Semblance abilities by allow for more. Listed both below and in the sections that mention it are actions that provoke an Attack of Opportinity. Using an Attack of Opportunity costs no Actions on the attacker's part, but must be made with a Melee Weapon only, unless Feats or Semblance Abilities dictate otherwise. * Using a Ranged Weapon attack within the Melee range of an enemy. * Using a Ranged Dust attack within the Melee range of an enemy. * Willingly moving away from an enemy without using the Retreat Action. In this case, each target that can trigger an Attack of Opportunity can do so, and must do so at the first opportunity, they cannot hold the attempt to see if another attack would defeat the target. * Retrieving an item from one's person. * Interacting with an object or device that is openly requring the user to drop their guard, for example hacking into a computer, tying a rope for climbing, or aiding an ally from a condition. * Standing up, or overall getting up, from the Prone Position/Condition. * Attempting a Break, Cheap Shot, Disarm, Grapple, or Trip Action without the matching Feat. ## Dextra ac Sinistra Many Huntsmen and Huntresses fight with multiple weapons: Dual Knives, Swords, Pistols, even Fists. While this does provide the Player with increased damage and attempts to attack their target, it does come with Penalties. At the cost one 1 Attack Action, a Player may declare they are fighting with Two Weapon Fighting, or whatever other term works the most. While fighting with two weapons on the same Action, the Player suffers penalties based on what kind of weapon they're using: * If the Player is not using two Light Weapons, they suffer a -6 Penalty to their Main Hand, and a -8 to their Offhand. * If the Player is using a Light Weapon in their off hand, both Penalties to attack are a -6. * If the Player has the Two Weapon Combat Feat, the Player instead suffers half of the penalty, no matter the Weapons they are using. * If the Player is using two Light Weapons, they suffer a -4 to both their Main Hand and Offhand. * If the Player is using two Light Weapons, have the Two Weapon Combat Feat, and the Improved Two Weapon Combat Feat, they suffer only a -1 to both of their attacks. * If the Player is not using two Light Weapons, but have the Two Weapon Combat Feat, and the Improved Two Weapon Combat Feat, their Main Hand suffers a -2 to hit, and their Offhand suffers a -3 to hit. The Two Weapon Combat Feat Chain is made to better help Two Weapon Fighters. While not a major thing, Players should dictate if they are primarily left or right handed. The dominate hand is their Main Hand, and their other is their Offhand. Offhand attacks deal no additional damage to their attacks, dealing only the weapon's damage. Two Weapon Fighting also brings another trouble: With both hands full, the Player cannot reload their firearms, requiring them to use an outside source to do so, or to holster or sheath one weapon and reload.

\page ## Firing Squad Most Huntsmen and Huntresses prefer fighting with ranged weapons mixed into their melee weapons, providing ease of combat by allowing them to combat targets at most ranges. While this is important to note, Ranged Weapons do have their own quirks: * Ranged Weapons are locked into using the Player's Dexterity Modifier for combat, if they are shooting. However, if the Player is using Thrown Weapons, they may follow their Base Attack Stat, be it Strength or Dexterity. Explosive Weapons may opt for a Reflex Save of the Target instead of attacking traditionally. * Due to the hectic nature of combat, any Ranged Weapon that is fired towards an enemy that has an ally of the Attacker within 5ft of them, the Attacker suffers a -4 Penalty to hit to attempt to compensate the aim. If they miss, the attack misses both the Target and the ally. For each ally within 5ft of the Target, the penalty increases by 2. If the attack roll shows a Natural 1, the Attacker must randomly choose an ally within 5ft of the Target. The ally must then make a Base Defense against the Ranged Attack, taking the damage on a hit. The Precision Aim Feat removes both the Penalty and the risk of attacking their allies. * Explosive firearms are another issue all in it's own right. Rockets, Missilies, Grenade Launchers, or even Flamethrowers can be classed as an 'Explosive'. When attacking, these attacks deal Splash Damage, or Area of Effect Damage, in a shapes such as Cones, Spheres, or Bubbles. If an ally, or the Player is caught in this shape, they must roll for their own Base Defense, or Save if allowed. They are allowed to make this every time they are attacked if they fail the first. Success of the first allows the Player and allies to ignore all subsequent attacks. If the attack deals additional affects, the Player and their Allies do not suffer the secondary effects, and if the Attack is a Critical Hit, the Player and their Allies ignore the Critical Hit. The Flak Jacket Feat allows the Attacker to be immune to their own Explosive attacks, and the Shaped Rounds Feat allows the Player's Allies to ignore their Explosive attack. * All Firearms, no matter what, have a Range Increment. This is a dual listed number all Ranged Weapons, Firearms or not, have. When creating their weapon, Players and Dungeon Master agree on the base range of their weapon. This is the 'First Increment', and should be a modest number. After that, the Ranged Weapon has an increase in range, up to five times it's base number, and is spaced out between the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th multiple. After the highest number, the Ranged Weapon cannot hit the Target. For example, Shiro's Longbow has a First Increment range of 110ft. It's Second Range Increment is 220ft, it's Third is 330ft, it's Fourth is 440ft, and it's Fifth Increment is 550ft. Once a target is outside 550ft away from Shiro, he cannot attack the target. If Shiro attacks a Target between 111ft and 220ft, he suffers a -3 to his Base Attack. Between 221ft and 329ft, he suffers a -6 to his Base Attack, between 330ft and 439ft he suffers a -9 to his Base Attack, and between 440ft and 550ft he suffers a -12 to his Base Attack. The Feat Far Shot adds two additional Range Increments, and follow the same rules as the previous Range Increments. ## Action Economy Quiet possibly the most important stat to keep track of, Number of Actions also has the hardest balance. Dungeon Masters should use one of the following ideas to help limit the Number of Actions stat in order to prevent EXP Overflow into the stat: * For every 150 EXP given after Character Creation, all Players are given an additional Number of Actions. Using this ruling, Players may not purcahse Number of Actions, but start at 4 Number of Actions. * For every 150 EXP given after Character Creation, the Number of Action Limit is increased by 1, allowing Players to buy additional Number of Actions up until that limit. * Dungeon Masters place a hard cap onto the Number of Actions stat at the start of the Campaign, and Players may not purchase any more Number of Actions beyond that number.

\page ## Special Actions While 'Hit thing with weapon' and 'shoot until dead' is the usual way to handle issues in the world of Remnant, doing so to people sometimes ends in distaster. So, Players and human/Faunus NPCs should take note of the special combat actions listed below. Most of these actions, however, provoke an Attack of Opportunity against the user of the action from their selected target only. These actions are rolled with a Base Attack roll, and defended with Base Defense. ### Brace Primarily done with Polearm weapons, or anything with a long enough shaft, the Brace Action costs 1 Action, but whenever a Target enters their Melee Weapon Reach through a sudden, straightforward motion such as a Charge, the Bracing Player or NPC gets a free Attack against that Target with a +4 to their Base Attack Bonus and Damage. ### Break The Break action allows a Player to damage and destroy weapons, armor, Grimm Armor, and various other objects. When successful, the Player damages the object equal to the damage of their Weapon. When dealing a Break Check to Grimm Armor, a successful check removes 2 Armor from the Grimm. When targeting a weapon, armor, or other item that is not part of a Grimm, the Dungeon Master is up to decide how much 'Health' the object has before it is broken entirely. ### Charge Costing 1 Action, the Player doubles their movement speed for their selected movement type, and allows the Player to mix another Action of their type during the Charge. However, after the Charge, the Player is only allowed to take up to 2 more Actions, no matter how many Number of Actions they have remaining. When Charging, the Player stops at the space directly in front of their intended target. ### Cheap Shot Costing 2 Actions, the Cheap Shot Action can provide a variety of different effects to a Target. When performing a Cheap Shot Action, the Attacker decides what to do that would fit the mold, and Player and Dungeon Master both agree on what the Action would do. For example: Throwing Sand, Dirt or Dust into the air, or a quick poke to the eyes would inflict Blinded; A sudden jab to the chest would inflicte Winded; A kick to the groind would inflicted Nauseated; A sudden hit to both ears would inflict Ringing. All Cheap Shot Actions do not inflict damage, even if the Action itself, such as a kick to the groind, would naturally hurt. All Conditions inflicted by Cheap Shot end at the end of the Target's turn, and cannot be stacked through Cheap Shot use, but a Cheap Shot Action can extend a preexisting Condition by 1 additional round once. ``` ``` ### Delay Delaying itself costs no Actions, as it 'removes' the Player from Initiative until they feel as if they're ready to rejoin. However, the Player must declare they are returning from the Delay before the current active Initiative is over, otherwise they are moved to the slot after the current Initiative slot. If a Player does not come back into Initiative, they are sent back to their original Initiative position, and can declare another Delay Action. ### Disarm The Disarm action is as said. When successful, the target is disarmed of their weapon, or one if they are holding multiple. Due to the nature of Shields, the defender of the Disarm attempt gains a +4 to their Base Defense to resist their Shield being Disarmed if it is the target of the Disarm attempt. ### Feint A unique case, instead of rolling Base Attack Bonus and having it be defended with Base Defense Bonus, the attacker instead rolls a Bluff Check, with the defender rolling a Perception or Sense Motive Check. If the Attacker succeeds, the Defender loses their Defense Stat to their Base Defense Bonus until the end of the Attacker's turn. The Attacker may attempt to Feint multiple times in order to get the affect, but each time they do, the Defender gains a compounding +4 to their selected roll. Once the Attacker's turn is over, the Defender loses the stacking Defense to their Feint Defense. ### Grapple The Grapple Action requires two free hands to perform, or in some cases of Faunus with unique traits, two free appendages that are eqvivalent in size and strength to a normal arm, such as an octopus' tentacle or a squid's long feeder tentacle. While grappled, both the Attacker and Defender are stuck within their arm's reach, or longer due to possible Faunus traits as listed above. While grappled, both parties may not perform attacks that require their hands, use Semblance traits that require arm motions (though touch based Semblance skills automatically succeed), or use Dust. In addition, both parties lose their Base Defense Stat to their Base Defense Bonus, and cannot move away from each other. The Attacker and Defender roll to attack and defend as normal, and in order to escape, the Defender uses two actions to try and escape, making the Attacker roll another attack to keep him bound. If the Attacker wins, the Defender is still grappled. The Attacker may let go of their Grapple at any time at the cost of 1 action, but cannot release the grapple until their turn is over.

\page ### Ready Costing a number of Actions the Player wishes, Readying an Action/Readying Actions allow Players to take certain Actions outside their listed triggers from Feats or Abilities in things they usually shouldn't be able to do. To declare a Ready Action, the Player must write down what Action(s) they are planning on doing, as well as a trigger for the Action(s) to take place. The paper or other medium where the Ready Action is written down must remain face down and visible to everyone at all times. If the Trigger does not happen, the Action(s) is/are wasted and the Player loses their Ready Action. If the Trigger happens, the Player may perform the listed Action(s) as described. After a successful Ready Action, the Player moves their Initiative to the just before the Initiative that is currently taking place. ### Retreat While not an attack, the Retreat Action allows a Player to move up to double their Base Speed and avoid any Attacks of Opportunity for moving through threathened squares. After moving, the Player may not take any Attack-type Actions. A Retreat Action costs Half of the Player's availible Number of Actions to perform, requiring a minimum of 2 Actions to use. ### Takeover Costing 1 Action, the Player follows the rules for a Charge Action. However, the Player can continue moving through any number of Targets within their path, however each Target they wish to move through costs 2 Action: One for Movement, One for the Attack. During a Takeover, the Player may make a single attack against the target they are currently moving over. They cannot end their Takeover Action in a space occupied by another Target. ### Trip As Disarm, Trip is as stated. When successful, the target falls prone, requiring them 15ft of movement and one Action to stand. Standing from Prone provokes an Attack of Opportunity from those within 5ft of the target.

\page ## Conditions Throughout combat, a number of Status Effects, or Conditions, will be thrown about, mostly thanks to Dust, or a few given through Feats, Semblances, or Grimm. Below is the growing list of what would be some of the more common Conditions. All Conditions prevent the Target from maintaining Concentration on any ongoing affect. All Conditions last as long as indicated in the attack that caused them, and many may be removed by other options, listed in the Condition. ### Asleep A Condition that happens every night for the most part, Sleeping Targets are considered Blinded. However, they are allowed Perception checks for Audio only, at a -10 Penalty. Loud enough noises or strong enough hits wake up a Sleeping Target instantly. ### Bleeding Cause through sharp blades, claws, bites, and sometimes bullets, the Bleeding Condition cannot be applied to Grimm, and only to Humans, Faunus, and other NPCs when they are without Aura. Bleeding Damage is applied at the start of the affected Player's turn, and can be cured through the Medicine Skill at a DC 15. Bleeding Damage varies, though it's base starts at 4 damage per turn. ### Blinded Caused by a number of things, such as Lightning, Light or Darkness Dust, having dirt or other debris thrown into one's eyes, or having something obscure one's eyes, Blinded prevents a Target from seeing properly. The Target suffers a -10 to all Visual based Perception checks. However, they recieve a +10 to all Saves involve being able to see. ### Burning Given through Fire Dust for the most part, Burning refers to the state of being affected by Fire Dust's secondary affect. Burning may be ended early by being doused in water, either through Water Dust, Swimming, or having water dumped onto them, or through a strong enough gust of wind. In addition, they may take two actions to Stop, Drop, and Roll, effectively putting out the fire. ### Chilled Caused by cold conditions and Ice Dust, a Chilled Target has their movement speed reduced by half for their next 3 Movement Actions. The Chilled Condition is also removed upon taking any Fire Damage, but the damage is reduced by half. ``` ``` ### Confusion Usually given through prolonged exposure to odd sounds, lights, or other effects, or particularly hard hits to the head, Confusion tampers with the target's ability to make rational thoughts of their actions. When confused, the target rolls a d100. From 01-20, the Target may act normally. From 21-40, the Target cannot act, simply standing in a daze, however they can properly defend themselves without issue. From 41-60, the Target moves to the nearest ally or foe next to them, and attacks them with their melee attack. From 61-80, the Target flees from the nearest ally or foe to them. From 81-100, the Target is too confused to act, and falls prone. Targets affected by Confusion can only take 1 action to Move and 1 action to Attack if needed.

\page # The Grimm ## Beings of Hatred The Grimm. Beings of hatred, destruction, and rage. Taking the form of animals and monsters of all shapes and sizes, they wreck havoc on the lands of Remnant, only stopped by the daring and might of the Huntsmen and Huntresses who risk their life to defend Remenant. Armed with fang, claw, scale, and other monstrous weapons, the Grimm are fearsome foes whose sole purpose is to kill, mindless weapons. Ranging from the size of birds, to monsters the size of buildings, people would live in fear of them, and in turn, feed into the Grimm's destructive power. Their scaley, bone-like hides protect them from certain attacks, and their undying rage and bestial nature prove to only add to their savage, primal nature. Built like buildings and as agile as nature, Grimm are fearsome foes. They strike with intent to kill, never toying with their prey. Fear makes them grow in power, and unless killed, they will continue to grow in size and strenght. As a Grimm ages, they grow in size, stature, and strenght. Their bodies swell in size, showing age in terms of scarring and broken bone plating. Their ferocity grows as with their size, and so does their hunger. Grimm, while not true pack monsters, will sometimes form into small hunting groups in an attempt to increase their odds of a successful hunt. The key reason of this is to help ensue the fear they need to grow stronger. ## Monsters of Madness Grimm are deadly, ferocious monsters. Their strength grows while in the presence of fear. While fighting a foe suffering from a Fear-based condition, such as Shaken, Frigthened, or Terror, all Grimm that can see the affected foe gain the following effects, stacking per foe up to half of the size before the condition has taken place, but do not take affect until a Grimm can see the affected foe: * All of a Grimm's attacks deal one extra die of damage. * A Grimm's BAB increases by 2. * A Grimm's BDB decreases by 1. * A Grimm gains +5 Speed. * A Grimm's Strength score increases by 1 per every 2 Feared targets it can see. All Grimm within the area can benefit from the above Fear effects, as long as they can see their feared foe. ``` ``` ## Elder Grimm Not all of the Grimm the young Huntsmen and Huntresses will fight will be young and basic Grimm. As their journey continues, they will be tasked to fight bigger and stronger Grimm. With each upgrade the huntsmen and huntresses get, the Grimm have options to get stronger as well. For every two Weapon Upgrade Points, and for every 1,000 EXP the players have been given, the Grimm recieve one point to be spent on upgrading themselves in a permanent matter. These upgrades are as followed: * Increase the Grimms' HP by 20. * Increase the Grimms' BAB by 2. * Increase the Grimms' BDB by 2. * Increase the Grimms' Fortitude or Reflex save by 1. * Increase the Strength, Dexterity, and Constituion of the Grimm by 1. * Inrease one of the Grimm's movement speeds by 10ft. * Increase the die amount of all attacks by one extra die.

\page ## Alpha Grimm A step above a typical Grimm, but still below the Elders in terms of power, 'Alpha' Grimm are always found in a pack, and are the bigger, stronger leaders of them. Alpha Grimm start stronger than other Grimm, but only one Alpha can be found in each pack. When making a Grimm Pack, Alpha Grimm gain the following addtions: * Alpha Grimm gain either a two dice increase to one attack, or a single die increase to two different attacks. * Alpha Grimm gain 1 extra point to their AC. * Alpha Grimm gain a +2 Bonus to BAB and BDB * Alpha Grimm gain a +4 bonus to their Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution. * Alpha Grimm gain 25 extra HP. * Alpha Grimm gain +10ft to all of their movement speeds. * Alpha Grimm gain a +2 bonus to their Intelligence Score. ## A True Killing Machine While their intelligence proves otherwise, as Grimm act as primal, bestial savages bent only on the extinction of of both human and Faunus alike, when pushed to the limits of their strength, and noticing their own shortcoming and downfall, some Grimm can undergo a sudden, rapid, and at times extreme physical change in appearance and tactics in order to stay alive. While never showing fear of any kind, the primal urge of self preservation is ingrained in their mindset. When pressed against strength, numbers, or speed, the Grimm has a small chance of 'evolving' to protect themselves. While not every Grimm can undergo this rapid change, Grimm of at least Large size or larger is elligable for this change. After being damaged, the Grimm in question can roll a d20 every turn. On a Natural 20, the Grimm undergoes a sudden change that can help support itself and attempt to leverage the fight in it's favor. In most cases, this equates to more damage, attack range increases, better armor, or at times, new attacks. Other times, it equates to new tactics. If the Players tend to attack it with ranged weapons constantly, it will understand the concept of cover and use it to make it's way up to the Players in as safe a manner as it can. If it notices the Players are able to hide from it to enable easier attacks, it too will hide to force out a war of attrition. However, despite the amount of damage the Grimm is taking, or how horribly it is losing the fight, the Grimm will only develop up to four of these sudden changes. ## A Note on Grimm All Grimm have a number of other traits about them that should be noted while Grimm are in combat: * All Grimm are Immune to the Fear Condition, and all kinds of it, however they are more susecptible to being goaded into attacks, rolling twice and taking the worse roll. * All Grimm are immune to damage to their Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. * All Grimm lack a Will save, and in response to one, roll with a -5 to their Will. * If an attack die reveals a number equal to or lower than the Grimm's AC, the attack instantly fails. ## Size Matters Listed in the Grimm Monster Stat Blocks are sizes. Sizes go in order from Small, Medium, Large, Huge, Gargantuan, and finally Colossal. These sizes change how many spaces a Grimm occupy. Two Small sized Grimm may fit in the same square on a map, which is typically measured as a 5ft by 5ft square. Medium Grimm occupy a single square. Large Grimm take up a 10ft by 10ft square, Huge Grimm take up a 15ft by 15ft square, Gargantuan Grimm occupy a 20ft by 20ft square, and Colossal Grimm take up a 30ft by 30ft square of space. Players, NPCs, and Grimm alike can all run through a Grimm's square if they are 2 sizes smaller than the Grimm in question. They may also end their turns on their space as well, if they so desire. ## Artwork As this system grows, and with the update on June 17th, the Carnival of Grimm Update, an artist and I have been working to get the original Grimm into a physical form. Below is the artist's contact information for Discord.

When attacked by a source of damage that deals over 40 points after it's Pressurized Skin, the Leviathan will seek the source of said damage to destroy it. If it is unable to find the target after 1d4 + 1 rounds, or the target is dead, it will return to it's original goal. If the Leviathan is below 150 HP, it will attempt to flee if able. If it cannot do so, it will simply attack anything within it's reach. > > ***Terrorizing Sight.*** Upon being seen, the Leviathan bellows to instill fear, aiding to it's terrifiying size. Anyone who can either hear or see the Leviathan must make a Will Save DC 35 or become Panicked, instantly running away from the Leviathan. If anyone can both hear and see the Leviathan must make a Will Save DC 45, or suffer the same effect. A Success means they are only Shaken. These statuses last for 1d4 + 6 Rounds after the Leviathan has left their line of sight. This is a Fear Effect. > > ***Amphibious.*** The Leviathan can breath both air and water, and can live safely in any depth or temperature of water. > > ### Actions > ***Claw.*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* +31 to hit, reach 30ft., one target. *Hit* (5d8 + 15) > > ***Bite.*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* +31 to hit, reach 35ft., one target. *Hit* (6d8 + 15) > > ***Lightning Breath.*** *Ranged Weapon Attack:* All players in a 60ft. cone, or 120ft. line must make a Reflex save of DC 46, or take 20d8 points of Lightning Damage. A succssful save reduces the damage by half. The Leviathan must wait 1d6 + 1 rounds to do this attack again. > > ***Limited Multiattack.*** The Leviathan may make two claw attacks and one bite attack against any number of targets it can reach, however it must select a different target per attack.

\page ## Fan Grimm The next few pages are listings of various, fan made Grimm I have made for whatever purpose in my campaigns. Currently, they are mostly made on the spot of late night ideas, and might not be as strong, or stronger than the other listed Grimm. Also, I will be willing to commission artwork for the below Grimm. ___ > ## Gyps >*Medium Grimm, named after the Genus of Vultures* > ___ > - **Armor Class** 3 > - **Hit Points** 40 > - **Speed** 20ft. 50ft. Flying >___ >|STR|DEX|CON|INT|WIS|CHA| >|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| >|14 (+2)|22 (+6)|18 (+4)|1 (-5)|1 (-5)|1 (-5)| >___ > - **Saves** Fort (+5), Ref (+10), Will (N/A) > - **Base Attack Bonus** +4 > - **Base Defense Bonus** +7 > ___ > ***Desert Adaptation.*** A Gyps is bred to live in the harsh deserts of Vacuo, and is only seen living there. It is immune to the negative effects of Heat and Cold for desert temperatures. In addition, it treats Desert Terrain as normal terrain. > > ***Blood Frenzy.*** A Gyps can smell and feel when a foe's on the end of their ropes. When an enemy it can see is below half Aura, the Gyps gains a +3 to Hit and Damage against that Target. This also triggers a Grimm's base ability listed under Monsters of Madness on the Core Rulebook, allowing multiple Gyps to gain the Fear bonus from weakened foes. > > ***Flyby Attack.*** When a Gyps attacks a target, whether they hit or miss, the Gyps may continue moving and ignores all Attacks of Opportunity from their target. > > ***Swooping Dive.*** If a Gyps dives at their target, using at least half of their Flying movement speed, their Talon attack deals an additional 2d6 points of damage. > > ### Actions > ***Talon.*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* +6 to hit, reach 5ft., one target. *Hit* (2d6 + 2) > ___ > > *The Gyps is a vulture-like Grimm. Like it's living cousins, the Gyps stalks its prey while they're on the brink of death, attacking in swarms and leaving everything else for whatever might come across the carcass. Their razor sharp talons are all they need to kill, being fast, bloodthirsty Grimm the deserts of Vacuo really don't need.*

It is immune the negative effects of Heat and Cold for desert temperatures. In addition, it treats Desert Terrain as normal terrain. > > ***Icy Terror.*** A Nagalisk is immune to Ice Damage. In addition, the Nagalisk is able to treat frozen ground as normal terrain as well. > > ***Ice Maker.*** Whenever the Nagalisk uses it's Icy Breath attack, it leaves a sheet of ice along the area that is attacked, unless it was through it's Projectile attack, in which the attack creates a 15ft radius circle of ice around the target, whether or not the attack hits. This sheet of ice melts away in the heat at the start of the Nagalisk's turn. Moving over it requires a Reflex Check DC 26 to not fall Prone. Running over it increases the DC by 10. This DC can be ignored by declaring 2 Actions to take a single Movement Action over the ice sheet. > > ### Actions > ***Tail Blade.*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* +13 to hit, reach 10ft., one target. *Hit* (3d6 + 7) > > ***Claw.*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* +11 to hit, reach 5ft., one target. *Hit* (2d6 + 7) > > ***Icy Breath.*** *Ranged Weapon Attack:* +9 to hit, 25ft cone, 50ft line, or a 75ft ranged projectile, Fort DC 23 or Chilled for 1d6 + 2 Rounds. *Hit* (3d10 + 6) > >*** Multiattack.*** The Nagalisk may make either two claw attacks, or one tail blade attack and one claw attack against any target it can reach. >___ > *A large, scaled, ice breathing Grimm, the Nagalisk slithers over the sand of Vacuo upright like a naga, dragging it's bladed, curved, and viscious tail through the sand, leaving behind snake-like coiling patterns. Despite having only two limbs, the Baslisk still rushes with terrifying speed. Each exhale of breath leaves a frigid vapor that quickly evaporates in the hot sun. Ruthless, vicious, and driven, the Nagalisk attacks with all it has in order to make it's kill.*

It is immune the negative effects of Heat and Cold for desert temperatures. In addition, it treats Desert Terrain as normal terrain. > > ***Thorn Hide.*** When the Thorn Devil is struck by a Fist Weapon or Unarmed strike, the attacker takes 1d6 + 5 points of damage from the Grimm's spiky hide. > ### Actions > ***Tail Lash.*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* +11 to hit, reach 10ft., one target. *Hit* (3d6 + 5) > > ***Thorn Shot.*** *Ranged Weapon Attack:* +7 to hit, reach 35ft., one target. *Hit* (1d10 + 3) > > ***Multiattack.*** The Thorn Devil may make either two Tail Lash attacks or two Thorn Shot attacks at any target it can reach. >___ > *A 'cousin' to the Nagalisk, the Thorn Devil is rumored to, at some point, grow into the Nagalisk as it lives long enough, shedding it's thorns for the icy powers of the Basilisk. However, before that, the Thorn Devil is a rather hardy Grimm. Able to shoot it's spikes at nearby foes, and otherwise swings it's masisvely bladed and spiked tail at whatever it can reach.*

It is immune the negative effects of Heat and Cold for desert temperatures. In addition, it treats Desert Terrain as normal terrain. > > ***Heavy Headed.*** The heavy head of the Catobelpas drags and presses against the ground, preventing the Catobelpas from charging. However, this protects the Catobelpas better from visiual based attacks, granting it a +6 against all saves that depend on vision. > > ***Thick Skulled.*** The Catobelpas' armored skull grants it more protection than other Grimm. If struck by a Critical Hit, the attack loses half of it's Critial Hit Multiplier, rounded down (minimum 2 times damage). > ### Actions > ***Gore.*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* +16 to hit, reach 10ft., one target. *Hit* (2d8 + 8) > > ***Multiattack.*** The Catobelpas may make two Gore attacks against any creature it can reach. > > ***Shot of Stone.*** *Ranged Weapon Attack:* +9 to hit, reach 60ft., one target. *Hit* (3d10 + 1). If this attacks hits a target, the target must make a Reflex Save of DC 10 + Half of the damage, or be bound in place from the waist down in stone for 1d4 + 1 rounds, or until it is broken by a Strength Check of DC 25, or attacked against the same DC with a Blunt weapon. If hit again, the target is bound from the neck down, increasing the DC from 25 to 35. The target cannot be encased any further from this. >___ > *The Catobelpas is a large boar-like Grimm, considered a 'cousin' to the Boarbatusk. Unlike it's nimble, smaller self, the Catobelpas' head has grown greatly, causing it to drag along the ground, attacking only with it's tusks. With an odd, innate power, the Catobelpas' eyes can cause a target to be encased in stone and sand from the ground around it as it attacks. It's head is able to be lifted to make goring attacks with it's splintered tusks, worn and torn from being dragged along the terrain.*

It is immune the negative effects of Heat and Cold for desert temperatures. In addition, it treats Desert Terrain as normal terrain. > > ***Sinkhole.*** The Antlyon lives in a massive sinkhole, a circle with a radius of 25ft on all ends. When a target walks over it, the Antlyon can see them while burrowed under the sand using Tremorsense, and can always see targets that are in it's sinkhole radius. At any point, the Antlyon may collapse the sinkhole and cause anything inside the sinkhole's radius to flow 10ft closer to the Antlyon, or 5ft on a DC 29 Reflex Save. An Athletics check of DC 25 is required to move 10ft from their current position on their turn, and whether the check succeeds or fails, the target cannot move for the rest of their turn. An Antlyon never leaves its sinkhole unless it must, and even then will burrow through the sand to do so. > > ### Actions > ***Mandible.*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* +14 to hit, reach 10ft., one target. *Hit* (3d6 + 14). When the Antlyon successfully hits with their Mandible, they may make a free Grapple check without provoking an Attack of Opportunity. If they succeed, the held target takes minimal damage every round until they break out by making an contested Strength or Escape Artist check against the Antlion's own Strength Check. While a target is held, the Antlion cannot attack with it's Mandible. > > ***Claw.*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* +14 to hit, reach 10ft., one target. *Hit* (2d6 + 7) > >___ > *A silent, deadly Grimm, the Antlyon sits under the sands of Vacuo and waits patiently for it's prey, trapping them in aswirling sinkhole and tearing them apart with vicious claws and their powerful mandibles. Not much of it's body has been seen, only what lunges up from the sand to strike: Powerful front pincers, two long, serrated legs, and a bristly, grub-like body that hides in the sand..*

In this form, it cannot move, but takes 1 damage per ten points of damage should have taken. In addition to this, it's Armor Class increases to 17. It can end this form at any turn it wishes, but cannot unfurl and curl in the same turn. > ### Action > ***Razor Tail.*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* +8 to hit, reach 10ft., one target. *Hit* (2d6 + 5) > > ***Cannonbolt Rush.*** *Melee Attack:* +10 to hit. The Pholidota must be uncurled, and move at least 15ft in a straight line. It makes a melee attack against a target. If the attack hits, it deals 4d8 + 8 damage to the target, and the target must make a Strength DC of the damage to resist being knocked back 5ft per every 5 points they failed the DC (minimum 5ft), and fall prone. After attacking, the Pholidota activates it's Armroed Curl ability. > > ***Cannonbolt Lash.*** If the Pholidota is attacked in a turn in which it did not Curl, and said attack would have moved the Pholidota, at any point it may unfurl, rolling an attack roll for it's Razor Tail individually against each target it can reach, ending it's Armored Curl ability. >___ > *Hard to kill, this Pangolin-like Grimm sports a rock hard, bladed shell. While it's claws are mainly for show, the bladed tail it sports it a powerful weapon, slicing up whatever it touches. Knowing about it's powerful shell, the Pholidota has learned to use it's ability to furl and unfurl to deadly efficiency, attacking and guarding itself in one motion.*

With a powerful set of clawed hooves and gnarled, twisted horns, the Bafomet attacks with reckless abandon. Even worse, it's armed with a powerful flaming breath attack, aiding with it's powerful attacks. Usually seen in small groups, the Bafomet is even more dangerous in said group than alone.*

If it is a Fist attack, the attacker takes 3d6 damage upon contact. > > ***Hybernation.*** The Eryx sleeps most of it's life. When rain falls over it's burrow, the Eryx awakens and goes on it's rampage. Once the ground dries, the Eryx returns to the sand under it, making a new burrow and sleeping for most of it's lifetime. > ### Actions > ***Breath Attack, Acid.*** *Ranged Weapon Attack:* +9 to hit, reach 35ft. cone or 70ft. line. *Hit* (4d6.) On a hit, the target(s) must make a DC 20 Reflex Check or have their weapons suffer the effects of Acidic Hide. > > ***Breath Attack, Lightning.*** *Ranged Weapon Attack:* +9 to hit, reach 35ft. cone or 70ft. line. *Hit* (4d6.)

However, once the rains come, the Eryx rises and attacks all it can before returning like the storms that summoned it. With powerful claws and breath attacks, the Eryx's offense is just as scary as it's acidic slime that coats it's hide, rendering many weapons ruined after prolonged assults.*

All attacks have an instant 50% chance to miss the Willess Wisp, be it by a weapon or Dust. Only Semblance attacks ignore this trait. In addition, Willess Wisps are immune to Critial Hits. > > ***Dust Affinity.*** The Willess Wisp is attuned to a single type of Dust, usually the kind found near it's habitat. It gains a third color to it's Vapor Made trait, using the color of the Dust to indicate that kind. This affects what element of damage it's Wisp's Rage is, and renders it immune to that Dust as well. A Willess Wisp cannot have no Dust Affinity. > > ***Willess Life.*** When the Willess Wisp is killed, it explodes into a 15ft sphere of a Wisp's Rage attack, dealing it's damage to everything in the sphere, Grimm, Player, or NPC. This attack follows Wisp's Rage, except it cannot roll lower than a 2 on every die it rolls for attacking. > ### Actions > ***Wisp's Rage.*** *Ranged Attack:* Reach 50ft., one target. The Target must make a Reflex save of DC 29 or take 5d6 + 6 damage of the Dust type the Willess Wisp is. >___ > *A floating mass of swirling gases that surround a semi-solid core, the Willess Wisp looks akin to that of a gnarled, knotted tree root. People say that if you look deep emough, you can see a face twisted in pain beyond the smoke. Studded along it's core are small, jadded crystals of Dust, where Willess Wisps are found. They absorb the radiant energy of the Dust, and in turn use it to change their violitle nature. When they are slain and explode, those lucky enough to survive it say they hear the wails of those the Willess Wisp has killed.*

With sharp, deadly hooves, and an arm covered in jagged, blade-like bones, the Centaurion rushes along headfirst, slashing and kicking whatever is stuck in front of it. Just as deadly at range, it shoots the bones from it's arm in arching shots to rain down arrow-like projectiles to 'hunt it's prey'. Legends say that it rivals the Nucklevee in terms of sheer, unbridled anger and rage.*

If a target hears a second howl, they must make another Will Save DC 32 or be Feared for 1d4 + 1 Rounds on top of their remaining rounds for Shaken. If a target hears a third and final howl, they must make a final Will Save DC 36 or be stricken with such fear they fall unconscious for 1d4 + 1 minutes. These are Fear effects. If a target succeeds a Will Save, they are immune to that specific Howl Hound's Howl of the End for 24 hours. >___ > *The size of a large dog, Howl Hounds have gotten their name by their fear inducing howl. Seen with massive, slobbering mouths and shrunken stomachs, Howl Hounds use their stealth and howls to make their prey faint from terror and devour them until their stomachs are to bursting. Their bodies are hold the appearance of a hyena mixed with the shape of a greyhound dog.*

This ability triggers as long as the Hunger can see the wounded Target, and for 4 rounds after they have left the Hunger's sight. If the Target leaves, and the Hunger loses their Driving Hunger bonus when they have 149 or less HP, the Hunger is slain from their bonus HP vanishing, causing it to wither in hunger and fade away. > > ***Gripping Hunger.*** When the Hunger attacks, after two successful Claw attacks on a single target, they may pull the target towards them for free in order to continue their Multiattack for their Bite attack. In addition, the Hunger then starts a free Grapple Check against the target before the Bite attack with a +10 Bonus to the roll. > ### Actions > ***Claws.*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* +6 to hit, reach 10ft., one target. *Hit* (1d6 + 2) > > ***Bite.*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* +6 to hit, reach 5ft,. one target. *Hit* (2d8 + 2) > > ***Multiattack.*** A Hunger may make 2 Claw attacks and 1 Bite attack against any target it can reach. >___ > *A driving force, a more direct version of the Apathy, the Hunger is a ravenous Grimm driven by a hunger, hence their name. Wiry thin limbs, a distended stomach, and overly long arms, the Hunger is a horror to watch. When fighting, the Hunger's very long arms lash out and snag their victims towards them, their long, sharp hooks digging into their unfortunate foes as they struggle to break free.

Similar to that of a Geist Grimm, the Plaster Gateway moves around the wall it has made or possessed at will, able to jump between any spot on it's wall at will, meaning it can reach any target.

One of it's arms holds a cetsus like weapon, grafted into it's arm while it's bandage-like wrapping binds it in place, while it's other arm is a long, whip-like attachment that latches on and drags it's prey towards it. While deadly thanks to it's grappling appendage, the Mumiya seems to have great issue in both moving and fighting, making it somewhat easier to avoid than other Grimm. Patches of it's somewhat leathery hide flake and shred off, revealing the human looking, rotted flesh underneath. It's own wraps keep it from moving too far, and swinging it's blade as much as it wants to.*

Rather stubby, with a scaly body, and molting appearance, the Calcatrix looks as if someone stuffed a gym ball inside the body of a rubber chicken and gave it the power to walk. While best described as 'braindead', the Calcatrix has a deadly peck and raking claws, and on top of that, a powerful, gaseous breath that has the capability to encase it's foes in stone. From there, it simply bides it's time and pecks at them until it can truly enjoy it's meal.*

\page # The Guide for Dungeon Masters In the following few pages, a number of things will be listed in order to aid Dungeon Masters for running and creating a RWBY themed campaign. While the show does a much better job than I do of explaining things, there are some factors that are left out, such as more detailed examples of Remnant, for example different cities and towns in the various Kingdoms, and what exactly some inspirations are. #### The Combat Academies While in the show, Beacon is the only one truly shown, as the main characters of the show study at that school, all of the other Kingdoms have them. While Beacon Academy is the easiest one to use, as the majority of characters and staff are shown there, the other Kingdoms can hold interesting reasons and uses over Beacon. For students traveling from one Kingdom to another to attend a different Academy, the Player should have some reason for it, though whatever the reason may be, it should fit the character, or their mythos. #### The Teams Making the teams for your players might be the more annoying part, and if one wishes to use teams, it would be very beneficial to acquire the names of each character ahead of time, and figure out possible combinations before the teams are formed. Certain actions during the entrance exams might change who becomes leader, and the relic they pick can change it as well. Following the show itself, the players are scattered through the respective field, be is a forest, mountain range, swamp, or whatever terrain allows for dense visuals and difficulty finding others. In order to reduce metagaming, the Dungeon Master might have the map hidden and move them according to how the players say, and from there, form their partnership. The first two players to make eye contact are considered partners for their stay at the Academy. All players should be partnered up this way before making it to the middle of the exam area. The middle, or whatever the students were told to meet, should have more than enough 'relics' for them to pick, a safe estimate is double the amount of players in the campaign itself. The relics are all up to Dungeon master choices, they could be chess pieces, runes, pieces of a machine, or whatever would work well to link together to form the full team. For example, in the show itself, Chess Pieces are used, and there are two pairs of each piece. Each partner pick one of the pieces to return, and for example, Ruby and Weiss picked the white Knight piece. Blake and Yang picked the other white Knight before that, meaning that those four students would be grouped as a team, and form Team RWBY. The actual order the students pick the pieces in is not important, as Yang grabbed the Knight piece first, and her name is last in team RWBY. A 'key' part of the Entrance Exam is, once the teams have been made, is to see how well they can work together in their group, and usually have some large, powerful Grimm suddenly attack, primarily a Beringal, Deathstalker, Nevermore, or something modified to have some interesting or unique traits that make sure the Grimm cannot be beaten just by sheer strength. For every Team present, there should be one of these 'Boss' Grimm to challenge them. The relics might also have some special feature to them that define fights later on, or change the course of modest events in the campaign. For example, if Runes are used as the relic, and the runes are based on Celtic runes, the Dungeon Master might modify the Grimm based on what was selected. If the rune that means 'Survival', the Grimm might have a stronger Damage Reduction, or a Fast Healing ability to repair it's wounds. #### Counterparts and Rivals Just as Jaune had Cardin to be his angtagonist, so should all of the players. Whether from the Academy, back at home, or out in town, each player should have some antagonistic force outside of the story's prinary antagoists to drive them. This can be done however the Dungeon Master sees fit. From a girl jealous of a character's love interest, to a friendly rivalry, to a family secret that has come out, Counterparts can be more than just people, and not so much 'evil'. However, despite what it is, they should come in regular waves, and after other players have had theirs brought to light, giving everyone time to properly develop emotions about it, and have other players possibly learn about it, and possibly change opinion on said person. These counterparts and rivals can change as time goes on. Does the character notice his jealous stalker is actually a better fit than his current love interest and chase his stalker now? The girl he dumped could now be angry about it and attempt to spread rumors, or physically harm either the player or the other love interest. Does the friendly rivalry get a bit too heated? Now the rival has to find a way to make sure he can always trump the player. Is the family secret out? Now how will the player learn to live with said secret. For the most part, having one antagonistic force per player is needed. No one has an easy life, and the force should be there to remind them about the reality of life, and not everything can be all happy, no matter what the character's antagonistic force could be. Though bare in mind, Dungeon Masters, this is a school setting, so please be wary on what kind of force is used to drive the students to do better.

\page #### Teamwork Makes the Dream Work As stupid and overused a saying it is, it is true. Players are expected to work as a team, but if they have some issues, it's up to them to work it out. Normally, players should work on their teamwork one character at a time. Working on a 'super awesome fourman dogpile team attack' right off the start is a great goal, but it will most likely fail right away. Instead, it should be suggested that players start with working on combination attacks with one other teammate, and when they get a number of those attacks down, they move on to another teammate. When players wish to do team attacks, both players must agree, and be willing to share the consequences to whatever happens. In the attack, they both roll to attack, and use the number of the lower one as their total. Then, the defender rolls a single Defense Roll to defend against the attack, and from there, it is settled as a normal attack. Both players must expend a Number of Actions that they wish to dedicate to the Team Attacks, but a player may not give all of their attacks for the Team Attack. If the attack hits, the defender suffers the effects of both attacks, but if they defend, they ignore the effects of both attacks. For example, Blake and Yang decide to do a Team Attack. Blake has five Actions, and Yang has six. This means the two of them can perform four Team Attacks, as this would leave Blake with one Action left, as a player cannot drop to zero Actions from performing a Team Attack. For the first attack, Yang rolls a 19 to hit, and Blake rolls a 22, meaning the Defender must beat a 19 to defend both attacks. On their next attack, Yang rolls a 20, and Blake rolls a 17, but the Defender rolls a 19. It beats Blake's 17, but doesn't beat Yang's 20, but because Blake had the lower number, the attack fails. As the team practices these attacks more, some bonuses can be given to them if they are done in repeat motions, practicing the same attack over and over to make the attack somewhat second nature. And as time goes on, these attacks can be mixed and matched into other ones, starting off long chains of combination attacks that weave in and out of other Team Attacks with different players. What can and can't be done is limited by the players' weapons, Semblances, possibility for Dust, Faunus type, and overwall, what the Dungeon Master is willing to allow. #### Friendship is Important Even the most lonesome person needs a friend. Despite being 'forced' to associate with three other people due to their Team, the players are expect to try and make friends with other students at the school. Even if players tend to play 'lone wolf', Dungeon Master should try to shoehorn NPC Students their way to get them to open up and talk. As players do spend more time with various NPCs, some mild bonuses should be given to the player as an incentive to go out and talk to people. The small bonus should usually be in the form of a bonus to their Skills, or in other cases, their combat stats. But once an NPC has given the bonus to someone, the bonus shouldn't be given out again in order to prevent players from metagaming who they need to hang out with in order to maximize their character. If two players are spending time with the same NPCs, then both players get the same bonus. For example, if a Player spends some time chatting with Weiss after class, this can be an all day event, as will all NPC talks. Afterwords, the Player would gain a small bonus that the NPC would seem like they would be adept at. Weiss might grant the Player a bonus to their Dust Use skill, or to their Knowledge (Dust). Once someone spends enough time with Weiss, her bonus is gone. Developing romantic interestes is a thing too. The students are teenagers, after all, in that odd stage in life about love. While not a major part of the campaign, or it should be tossed around in order to help the characters unwind from their constant studying and issues in life. For sake of simplicity, and more love interests, players should have both a male and female love interest, despite their gender. This can also change to fit whatever preference they have, or they are, despite their own sexual orientation or preference. If unknown, it might be best to leave the 'romance' part of the character development out, and let the player settle down into things on their own, and use what little hints they might give to work it back in. #### Some Notes on Grimm While not much is listed within their monster block, the Grimm are very straight forward. For example, while it is not stated in their monster stat block, all Grimm follow the same rule for their Base Attack Bonus, picking either Strength or Dexterity to attack, but they must use the other one to defend. This means a Grimm with a high Constitution Score cannot use it to defend. While not as important, Constituion is used soley for HP and Fortititude. Every additional modifier into their Constitution Modifier, they gain +10 HP. Without a Will save, most Grimm will be at a major deficit to succeed on them, but do to their almost mindless nature, they should have a number of immunities from things such as negative morale and fear. Creating Grimm can be easy. Based on what is needed, Grimm tend to follow the types of creatures from mythology, as well as stories from The Grimm Brothers themselves. But all in all, Grimm are nothing more than large, animal-like killing machines. If an idea is brought up to make an ice breathing bear Grimm that lives in the artic, simply mix and match traits from different Grimm, such as the Ursa as a basis and the Manticore or Sphinx for their Fire Breath, modified to be Ice.

\page #### The Vytal Happening every 2 years, the students will go through two their career as students. A big, grand event, when it does come around, it usually is a much talked about event. The various Teams from the other schools are all ready to go, and as stated, year does matter. With a number of teams over the course of their four years at their respective Academy, some teams will be equal ground as the players, but more will be stronger if the players are a first year team. Based on the school, each Nation should have something different to make the Vytal more unique, such as doing double elimination rounds or forcing Teams to swap Teammates mid fight. All in all, the Vytal Festival will follow this basic formula: Four vs Four teams, then Two vs Two, and finally One vs One until the winner is found. From the winners of the Four vs Four rounds, the Team selects two of their members into the Two vs Two section, and then from there, one of those two enter the One vs One bracket. In order to keep students safe, their Aura is monitered publicly on the display screens of Amity Colosseum, rendering combatants defeated if their Aura is dropped to or below 15%, or if they are knocked out of the arena. The Arena itself is a relatively large, circular platform, and around it two 'biomes' are randomly determined to be used for combat during the Four vs Four brackets. In the Two vs Two Brackets, four biomes are selected, and in the One vs One, only the center platform is used. The various biomes are mainly used to provide the Teams with various way to suppliment offensive and defensive capabilites, and at times, based on the biome itself, some raw Dust crystals can be seen forming, also to be used as weapons for the Teams. Various biomes include Forest, Ruins, Ocean, Mountain, and Arctic, but any naturally occuring biome in nature is a valid setting, as well as ruined civilization and an 'active' city as well.

Credit: RoosterTeeth #### Experience, Weapon Upgrade Points, and Dust While in classes, the Players should have an 'unlimited' supply to repairing their weapons and keeping up on their normal ammo, Specialty Dust rounds, and explosive rounds, such as rockets or grenades. Otherwise, a Player should only have roughly four to six reloads of speciality Dust bullets. For example, a Player could carry three reloads worth of Fire Dust and one of Ice Dust, or any mixtures of the availible Dust types. Weapon Upgrade Points should only be allowed to be used in the School, or a proper area that could supply the needed tools to work on their weapons. Experience points should be used at the same time, or at least at some point the Player can relax. #### Prosthetic Limbs In certain cases, a Player might lose a limb in combat, either due to a Grimm or other antagonist. While not availible right away, a Player should, at some point, gain a way to replace their missing limb, be it an arm, leg, or eye. Dungeon Masters are to think of some way to augment them to more unique than a regular limb. However, as the limb is not living, a Player's Aura will not protect the limb. For example, Yang's right prosthetic arm is shown taking damage in the fight scene between her, Blake, and Adam. This does mean that prosthetic limbs can be destroyed, and if so, the Player should be allowed access to ways to repair it and make sure it is funtional. All of the bonuses are only availible as long as the Limb in question is in working order. Knowledge (Technology) and Repair Skills are reccomedned for a Player to take if they are recieving a Prosthetic Limb, or if a Player chooses to start with one. Various Limbs will have different baseline abilities, but the rest are up to Dungeon Master and Player discussion: * A Prosthetic Eye increase a Player's vision based Perception Checks by +4, and allow a Faunus' Night Vision trait out of that eye. As well, with a DC 40 Knowledge (Technology) Check, they may link up their eye to their Scroll and can gain access through it via their Prosthetic Eye. If the player has both of their eyes Prosthetic, they recieve a +8 total to vision absed Perception Checks and can accurately see in all forms of darkness. * A Prosthetic Arm allows the player the option to store a single handed weapon. What is logical enough to fight inside is up to Dungeon Master disgression. The weapon can be drawn to said hand for free and as part of an attack. While using the Prosthetic Arm to lift, carry, drag, or otherwise move something, the Player treats their Strength score as 4 points higher than what it is. If both arms are Prosthetic, than the bonus is increased to 8 points higher than what it is. * A Prosthetic Leg allows the player the same options to store a weapon as an Arm does, allowing their leg to be used as a weapon based on the type of weapon it is. When the target of an attack or effect that would force the Player to move, the Player recieves a +4 to the check to avoid said effect. If both legs are Prosthetic, then the bonus increases to +8.

\page #### The Relics When the Brothers left Remnant, they gave Humanity the four gifts, the Relics. When all four were gathered, it was rumored to allow the person to change the world. However, when all four are gathered at once, the God of Light and God of Darkness will return and judging humanity, if the world should be saved and returned to how it was, or completely destroyed. The Four Relics are the reason the Acadamies were built: to safely hide them away from the world. Each school is responsible for their respective Relic, and as such, the Maiden needed to unlock the doorway to the Relic: * Choice: The Relic, the Crown of Choice, is hidden in the Vault of Beacon Academy. It grants the wearer the ability to see the future, but it's limitations are yet to be discovered. It requires the Fall Maiden to open the Vault. * Knowledge: The Relic, the Lamp of Knowledge, is hidden in the Vault of Haven Academy. When used, by saying the name of the spirit, it summons the guardian spirit Jinn to answer a total of 3 questions every 100 years. She can only answer about what she knows, and as such, might not be able to answer everything. While used, time freezes as the question is both asked and answered. It requires the Spring Maiden to open the Vault * Creation: The Relic, the Staff of Creation, is hidden in the Vault of Atlas Academy. When used, it generates a limitless supply of energy for whatever task it is needed to perform. However, it may only be used for one task at a time. It requires the Winter Maiden to open the Vault. * Destruction: The Relic, the Sword of Destruction, is hidden in the Vault of Shade Academy. Currently, it's powers and capabilities are unknown. It requires the Summer Maiden to open the Vault. Dungeon Masters should be cautious about using the various Relics for plot and story, due to their intense powers and heavy relevance to the storyline. If Players should gain access to a Relic, they should be ready to guard it with their lives, or find a way to return it back to the proper Academy. However, if given them Players shoyld be given access to use their various powers, but only if they know how to use them, or what their limits would be. As such, only Ozpin and the very, very small group of people he trusts would know how to use them, so getting access to that knowledge might not be possible, preventing Players from using them. But if they sould gain access to the knowledge, Dungeon Masters should give them attempts to use the Relics.

\page ## Weather No day is forever perfectly clear and cloudless. Every day has a chance for weather based on the season, location, and time of day. Dungeon Masters are encouraged to add weather to campaigns in order to make story, and social and combat encounters varied and unique. * Clear: The most traditional and common weather type. Summy skies, no clouds, and no real issues. * Raining: From a light drizzle to heavy storms, rain is most likely the most common weather, if one doesn't count Clear as weather. While drizzles don't affect gameplay, a steady rainfall will apply the Drenched Condition to everyone in the rain. As the rain gets heavier and heavier, it also applies a -5 to all movement speeds due to the rain. Once Speed Penalty is applied, the rain is harsh enough to start to affect vision, hearing, and smell, giving a -5 to all Audio, Visiual, Olfactory based Perception checks. The Conditions cannot be removed until the affected Players or NPCs have been out of the rain. In addition, Fire Dust requires double the Modification points to upgrade the Dust in General. The Burning Condition cannot be applied at all during rain. * Thunder/Lightning: Usually coupling with Rain, thunder and lightning can be considered seperate, as one can happen without the other. Each time a Player NPC or Grimm acts, the Dungeon Master rolls a d10, selecting a single number. If the number is rolled, there is a crack of thunder. During the crack, all audio Perception Checks suffer a -5 penalty. In addition, all Players or NPCs currently Concentrating on an effect must make a DC 15 Concentration Check. To determine lightning, the Dungeon Master rolls a d20 once per round, and on a called number, there is a flash of lightning. During the flash of lightning, all visual based Perception Checks suffer a -5 penalty. With every successful lightning check, the Dungeon Master rolls it again, picking a number. If the number comes up again, said bolt of lightning strikes an unfortunate target, chosen randomly. When struck, the target must make a DC 25 Reflex Save. On failure, they take 4d20 points of damage. On a successful save, they instead take half. If the Target suffers at least 30 points of damage, whether a successful Save was made or not, the Target must make a DC 25 Fortitude Save or be Stunned for one round. This is considered a Lightning Dust attack for all purposes of Damage and Saves. * Wind: Wind can range from a gentle breeze to near hurricane levels of force. Wind, like Clear, is almost always around. In any case, gentle breezes to light gusts apply no benefit or penalty. However, rather strong gusts of wind start to apply more penalties, and a few boons. While downwind, Players and NPCs with Scent can detect it from a further distance, anywhere between 15ft to 50ft based on how strong the wind is, but the same can be applied as a penalty if the scent is upwind. If Flying downwind, the Fly speed can increase from anywhere between 5ft to 30ft, but can be applied as a penalty if flying upwind. In addition, the Fly skill might be needed to fly properly under certain circumstances. Firing a ranged weapon that is not a firearm, or throwing a thrown weapon downwind grants a bonus to the Attackers Base Attack Bonus, from a possibly range of +2 up to +5, but the same can be applied as a penalty when attacking upwind. * Snow: Similiar to Rain, snow comes in freezing temperature, and is usually coupled with Wind. Similiar to it as well, snow can come down in varies degrees of intensity. Light snow falls, or flurries, provide no real benefits or penalties. As the snow gets worse, all Players and NPCs suffer a penalty to Visual based Perception Checks, ranging from -2 to -6. At the start of the Perception Penalties, all combatants must make DC 15 Fortitude Saves of suffer the Chilled Condition. Each successful save increases the DC by 2 points. Once the Perception penalty reaches -4, all combatants must make a DC 22 Fortitude or suffer the Frostbite and Chileld Conditions. For each successful save, the DC increases by 3. While suffering the Condition, it stays until they can leave the snow, however, the conditions can both be removed by Fire Dust, though after one round, they must start making their Saves again, though at the initial Save. Also, if the snow is at certain thresholds, the amount of snow built up can start to impose Movement Speed Penalties. Finally, enough snowfall can impose Cover for ranged attacks, anywhere from a flat 5% to 20% Miss Chance for all non-Area of Effect attacks. * Humidity: Caused usually after rain and high heat from sun, Humitidy occours more during the summer than any other season. Humidity tends to last the whole day, if not weeks. In a humid climate, all affected Players and NPCs are required to make hourly Fortitude Saves in mild humidity, half hourly Saves in moderate humidity, or a check every 15 minutes in high humidity. The DC for all of these Saves start at 10, and increase by 3 per successful save. A failed save means they are Fatigued. While Fatigued, they must start the saves again, and become Exhausted on another failed saved. The conditions last until they are out of the humidity for at least half an hour, or it can be removed through Water Dust, or overall water in general, through bathing or drinking.

\page * Dust/Sandstorm : While more so found in sandy areas, mainly beaches and deserts, Dust Storms can occur with Wind. During Dust Storms, all combatants are considered Blinded due to the dust in the air as long as the combatants are in the dust storm. Certain protective eyewear, namely goggles and visors, protect combatants from the Blinded Condition. If proper mouth protection isn't worn, such as masks or scarves, dust can cause issues speaking due to dust storms kicking dust into the mouths of the combatants. * Hail: Not like snow, Hail can occur during any season, mainly during storms. Hail is a damaging weather effect, causing minor, unavoidable damage as combatants stay in it. Hail damage can be as small as 1 damage, and as high as 5. Each turn a Player, NPC, or Grimm starts their turn in Hail, it takes this damage, which counts as Blunt damage for anything involving damage weaknesses or resistance. If a ranged Wind Dust attack is used in an area with Hail falling, the Hail stops falling in the area of the Wind Dust for 1 round. * Sleet: Mixes of ice and either snow or rain, Sleet imposes two distinct issues in combat. While sleeting, all combatants must make Reflex Checks to prevent themselves from slipping on the now icy surfaces, with the DC being 16. The combatant can ignore this check by not moving more than 15ft per Move Action they take. This check increases to 21 if the combatant decides to take any action such as Charging, or one that makes the move quicker than 15ft per Move Action. In addition, at the start of each combatant's turn, they take 3 points of ice damage from the coldness of the sleet. Any ranged Fire Dust used removes the sleet over the ground of the area of the attack, which returns after 3 turns. In addition, Ice Dust now has it's Base Reflex Save for it's ice slicks increased to 21, and the DCs to resist the Chilled and Frostbite Conditions increase by 4 while used under Sleet.

\page ## Theater of the Mind Some times, the game might not be able to be done in person due to whatever reasons, which limits the ability to use many of the listed abilities in the game, as everything is measured in tabletop map squares or hexes. Below are the number of changes that are meant to fix the issues of not having a map. * The Map is removed, and instead changed with 'Sections'. Players spend 1 Action to 'Traverse' between Sections, costing 1 Action per Section to travel. In a section, a Player may travel anywhere in that Section for free, though certain things might require additional Actions. Sections can be as simple as a line numbered 1 through 5, or in a plus shape, with the Vertical being A through E, and the Horizontal being 1 through 5. As long as Players and Dungeon Master have a simple understanding of the battlefield, any formation and any numer of Sections can work. * Movement Speed of all kind is removed. Instead, Players gain 'Engage Actions'. When moving from target to target, Players may spend 1 Action to 'Engage' a Target in Melee Combat. From there, they may attack the Target as normal. It costs 1 Action to Engage another Target. * A Player, NPC, or Grimm with a Fly Speed may instead fly to a higher Section above their current by spending 1 Action, as moving to an adjacent one. Targeting this flying Target counts as if they are in a different Section, despite them being above their current one. As such, a weapon with the Range of 0 or Sector 0, cannot attack them. * Actions or Abilities that move Targets around, such as Charges, Take Overs, and various Dust effects no longer do so. Instead they all force the applicable Target one Section of the Attacker's choice. * Using Dust is the same, however Range is gone. Instead it is replaced by 'Number of Targets' and 'Number of Sections'. They start at 1 Target, and 1 Section. For 1 Modification Point, the Player increases the number of Targets by 1, and For 3 Modification Points, the Player increases the number of Sections they may affect by 1. * Ranged attacks no longer have a proper range, instead it being now 'Sections'. Dungeon Masters are expected to think of ways to properly make Ranged Weaponry hold a proper range. Ranges can extend from 'Section 0', which is the Section the Player is in, which works for smaller, thrown Weapons or shotguns, to the entire field for weapons such as sniper rifles, or scoped weaponry. Ranges should vary, and if Players use scoped weapons, they should have options to change their Section Range based on the scope they use. Even so, sniper type weapons should be given enough range to attack the entire field, if not most of it. * Difficult Terrain, thanks to the lack of a proper map to represent it, now covers an entire Section. If a Dungeon Master is able to properly and easily represent a Section with multiple terrains, then a Section with multiple terrains can be done. * Grimm that are Huge in size occupy both their Section and the Section above them, allowing them to be targeted in both places, however this also allows them to use either Section at the start of their attacks. Garganutan Grimm occupy the entire Section they are in, as well as the one above, preventing anything of that size from passing through it's Sections. Colossal Grimm occupy two Sectors at once, as well as two Sectors above them. They follow the same rule as Gargantuan Grimm for preventing movement, however they may also prevent the movement any anything that is not of Large size or Smaller. * Certain actions such as Stealthing are more lenient, as the Theather of the Mind setting has no true props to hide, as it is all done based Dungeon Master fiat of the terrains. As such, Dungeon Masters should always remember to include some kind of setting for Stealth to properly work for all Players, as Stealth can be a key part in many different Player's fightning styles. As maps are not present, both Players and Dungeon Masters should find ways to keep track of their various terrains for Stealth capability, even if it is simply a dirt mound or a very thick tree trunk. * With ranges being gone, the range of attacking Flying Targets will be executed differently. Similar to how the range is compiled and stacked for normal range, it is the same for attacking with Sectors. If, for example, Shiro is attacking a Nevermore that is 2 Sectors High, and one Sector away, and his Greatbow's Range is 3 Sectors, Shiro may attack the Nevermore.

Credit: RoosterTeeth ## Ruby Rose The Leader of Team RWBY, along with Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, and her older half-sister Yang Xiao Long. The youngest of the team too, Ruby originally had some doubts about whether she could successfully lead the team, but thanks to her teammates, as well as the support of team JNPR, Ruby's carved out her role as Leader very well. While not the strongest, naturally quickest, or smartest of Team RWBY, Ruby can be best decribed as something of a firecracker in combat, using her Super Speed Semblance to dash around the battlefield, dealing damage to whatever she can reach.

These Glyphs may also be used as a platform, allowing others to land on them safely to avoid hazardous terrain, and to let allies walk, run, climb, or jump off of them, doing anything on them as they could do to land. > * *Time Dilation Glyph.* By mixing Lightning Dust with her Glyph under an ally, Weiss can grant her ally an increase to their overall performance.

This must be used before the Dungeon Master declares the attack against Weiss is a hit or a miss. >___ > ### Weapon > ***Myrtenaster.*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* +8 to hit, reach 5ft., one target. *Hit* (12 + 4, 18-20, x2) > > ***Dust Cartridges.*** Ice (Large Vial), Fire, Lightning, Wind, Gravity, and Hard-Light Dust (All Medium)

Credit: RoosterTeeth ## Weiss Schnee The brains...usually...of Team RWBY, Weiss is Team RWBY's defacto Dust expert. Born to the Schnee Family, Remnant's Atlas born family known for the sole export of Dust, Weiss comes from a somewhat pampered and lavish lifestyle. Originally stuck up, and known throughout Beacon as 'The Ice Queen', Weiss eventually thawed out and opened up to the rest of her team, as well as other people close to her. Physically the weakest of Team RWBY, Weiss makes up for it with team support. With her Glyphs, she can set up deadly Dust attacks at ranges her allies couldn't, and her Time Dilation Gylph increases a single ally's abilities for short time. Even without her Gylphs, Weiss' sheer ability to slign Dust attacks around the field makes her the deadliest ranged combatant in Team RWBY.

If successful, Blake leaves a shadowy image of herself and moves 5ft away from the attacker without provoking an Attack of Opportunity from anyone in melee range of her. > * *Dust Dodge.* When using Shadow Dodge, Blake may spend 5 Aura and make a Dust Use Check. On a success of both the Dust Use and her Semblance roll, she may activate the effect of a Dust Attack upon dodging and have it instantly trigger by having it mix with her Shadow Clone and trigger when attacked. > ___ > ### Actions > ***Gambol Shroud (Katana).*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* +9 to hit, reach 5ft., one target. *Hit* (12 + 4, 18-20, x2) > > ***Gambol Shroud (Cleaver).*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* +9 to hit, reach 5ft., one target. *Hit* (8 + 4, 20, x3) > > ***Multiweapon Fighting.*** Blake Dual Wields her Katana and Cleaver Sheath at the same time when attacking. > > ***Gambol Shroud (Kusarigama).*** *Melee Weapon AttacK:* +9 to hit, reach 20ft., one target. *Hit* (6 + 4, 19-20, x3) > > ***Gambol Shroud (Pistol).*** *Ranged Weapon Attack:* +9 to hit, reach 80ft., one target. 20 Shots. *Hit* (8, 19-20, x3) > > ***Dust Cartirdges*** Fire, Ice, Earth, Darkness Dust, all in a Small Container.

Credit: RoosterTeeth ## Blake Belladonna The only Faunus in Team RWBY, Blake has the quiet, stoic demeanour of a stereotypical bookworm. And to Blake, books are better friends than actual people. However, that changed as time went on and she met the rest of her team, and Team JNPR. The daughter of Ghira Belladonna, the former leader of the White Fang, Blake spent a majority of her life fighting for Faunus rights. Losing to Ruby in speed, mainly due to Ruby's Semblance, Blake fights with the ferocity and agility of a wild feline, deftly swapping between melee and ranged attacks, and using her Semblance for shored up defenses. Her own Semblance allows Blake the chance to dodge attacks and freely move away, mixing in her Dust to leave her shadow clones as not only a decoy, but a deadly surprise.

Credit: RoosterTeeth ## Yang Xiao Long The elder half-sister to Ruby, Yang is the straight forward, down and dirty brawler. Thinking with her fists rather than her head at times, she's hot headed and never one to avoid cracking horribly jokes and puns. While her mind may be focused on 'punchy', her heart is focused on her friends and isn't afraid of throwing herself down to protect them. Just as bright as her hair, Yang is loud and proud to herself and her Team. The most straightforward of Team RWBY, Yang has one goal: Punch. She runs in and keeps the attention of Grimm as best as she can, soaking in damage for her Semblance and returning it with a vengence. Sadly, Yang is the least capable at ranged combat, but with the combined forces of Ruby, Weiss, and Blake, Yang should have little problem getting flying targets down to her fists.

Credit: RoosterTeeth ## Jaune Arc The bumbling leader of Team JNPR. Ready to prove himself as leader, Jaune does what he can to take charge of Nora, Pyrrha and Ren. Always one to try and think of a plan, he knows his team's strengths and weaknesses and tries his best to play off of them. His tactical skills, while not always the best, always offer some insight on his foes as well. Not built for direct melee combat, Jaune has no trouble lunging into combat and taking a beating. As Pyrrha told him, he has a massive pool of Aura, and he plans to use it to defend his allies and deal what damage he can.

Credit: RoosterTeeth ## Pyrrha Nikos The somewhat mild mannered Huntress, Pyrrha is very well known in Mistral for her talents in and out of her Combat Schools. The face of Pumpkin' Pete's cereal, and the face of her Combat School, Pyrrha's stardom has caused a humbling effect on her, pushing her success aside to help bring out the accomplishments of others. A highly supportive pillar in Team JNPR, her bright attitude and go-getter personality branches out to many other people, mainly to Team RWBY as well. Pyrrha's role in combat is of a mixed striker, very easily flicking between melee combat and ranged. Her Semblance allows her to adjust her own attacks mid swing with little effort on her own, as well as recalling her lost weapons. All in all, Pyrrha easily changes between multiple targets in combat, and suppliments any combatant well.

Credit: RoosterTeeth ## Nora Valkyrie Armed with her trusty hammer, Magnhild, Nora is the brawn of Team JNPR. While she normally waits for the others to have somewhat of a plan, Nora prefers to 'Break kneecaps, ask questions later'. Loud, proud, and as explosive as her grenades, Ren is the only one who can even keep her somewhat under proper control. Despite her 'Puppy dog with a lit stick of TNT' personallity, Nora does know how to reign it back when needed. As stated, Nora fights with her 'Break kneecaps, ask questions later' motto. Rushing in after the plan is made...or not...Nora knows her role very well: Break things. Her Greandes are mainly used for flushing out enemies, and then once they're out, she rushes headfirst, hammer at the ready. Knowing her Semblance very well, she'll openly let herself get attacked by allies using Lightning Dust, or even rushing through electrocuted water to get her Semblance to Trigger, and shatter kneecaps three times as hard.

Credit: RoosterTeeth ## Lie Ren Quiet, observant, and the words of wisdom for Team JNPR, and by extension, Team RWBY, Ren is a man of little words and controlled emotion. The only leash to keep Nora from absolutely blowing things up, Ren is the go to for control. Meditative and always one to help, Ren is the second pillar of reliance, right behind Pyrrha. While not the strongest under any strech of the word, Ren makes up for it with superior Aura control and Crowd Control attacks, tripping and forcing targets to stop dead in their tracks as he lets his Team take the opening on weakened targets.

Each blade must attack a target within Penny's reach, and every attack with an additional Blade over 2 per attack adds a compounding -1 to every attack. This penalty is applied to every target Penny attacks. This counts under 'Two Weapon Combat'. > > ***Energy Assault.*** Penny uses her Blades to fire her ranged weapons, transforming them into firearms that fire condensed energy. For every Firearm attack used, Penny loses 1 Melee attack until they are transformed back on her next turn. > > ***Condensed Blast.*** If all 10 of Penny's Floating Array are in Blaster form and can fire before she attacks, Penny may condense their beam into a single attack. She rolls one attack for all of the beams, doubling their total damage if the attack hits. Whether the attack hits or misses, Penny cannot use this ability until she has repaired her Blasters at a safe spot. They may still be used as Floating Array or Energy Blasters without penalty.

Credit: RoosterTeeth ## Penny Polendina Armed with her deadly robotic blades and high tech energy blasters, direct from Atlas' own Robotics Experts, Penny is combat ready! Despite her being an Atlisian experiment of robotics and Aura studies, Penny keeps her existence as a robot a secret to all but those who she can truly trust, which is only just Team RWBY. Cheery, optimistic, and always willing to learn, her limited social interaction has left Penny in a mild childlike state of curiosity and wonder about all things of Remnant. Built from possibly the best technology in Atlas and programmed by the best minds of the same Kingdom, Penny is built to handle any kind of combat. Rugged, tough, and deadly, Penny is a force to be reckoned with. Ten razor sharp blades fold and store in her back and form into powerful energy weapons, making her deadly at any range, attacking as many foes as she can, or dealing concentrated damage to a single target with her storm of blades. Her trump card condenses her Energy Blasters into a single, powerful attack, though the power amplification can only be done once before her blades need repairs.

\page # Entering the Island After the events of the Mountain Glenn settlement destruction, some people who have explored both the Emerald Forest and Forever Fall have been noticing rather odd boxes littered around the landscape. Clear glass and marked with an odd symbol, listed below.

Credit: RoosterTeeth Tasked by Ozpin, the group will first be sent out to the Emerald Forest in order to search for any odd clues about what these creates may actually be used for, under the guise of Training. In the field, the group will have to examine around for whatever crates they can find, and figure out how they got there. While the group explores, the Dungeon Master will roll a d6 in secret. The list below will show what to send at the players. Please note, there should be two fights at most for this: One for when they get lost trying to search for clues, and another after they examine the crates for a bit and try to find out where they came from, all numbers should be modified to give the players an Advantage in numbers. ##### Encounter List | Roll | Grimm | |:----:|:-------------| | 1 | Beowulf (Number of players -1) | | 2 | Beowulf x2, Ursa x1 | | 3 | Boarbatusk x3, Beowulfx1 | | 4 | Ursa x2, Boarbatusk x2 | | 5 | Beowulf x2, Ursa x2, Boarbatusk x2 | | 6 | Alpha Beowulf, Beowulf x2 | The Map of the Emerald Forest is rather straightstraightforward and open, with very little in the way of steep cliffs or sudden pits. At most, a few ankle deep streams are littered around the landscape, and hills end with overhangs, supported by thick tree roots, vines and moss. The biggest obstacle by far are the trees themselves, giving anple room for cover and hiding. A few different checks, such as Knowledge (Narure), Perception, or Survival, will allow the group chances to find the trail towards the cages. The first DC starts at a 20, and raises or lowers by 3 points based on the success or failure of the Players. A few rolls will be needed, anywhere from 3 to 6 based on the Dungeon Master's whim, but a Natural 20 counts as two successes. Within this time, a Critical Fail on any one Player's check will trigger a Grimm encounter. Once at the site of the cages, the Players can all see the sight of ruined cages, with one cage still in pristine condition. The sight of claw and bite marks can be seen all along the nearby trees and the landscape, as well as the cages. The signs of a few rather large Grimm can be seen, with the footprints leading away from the cages and towards the rough location of Forever Fall. With this new knowledge in mind, the group should head off to follow the Grimm to make sure they don't escape the Forest. A Survival check of DC 15 is needed to keep up with the escaped Grimm. Success means they'll reach the small horde of them, and failure means they've gotten away. ## The Mutant Grimm If the Players have managed to catch up to the escaped Grimm, the Players will come across the horde: An Ursa, a Deathstalker, and a Beowulf.

Credit: Unknown

\page Having an opportunity to stop them, the group will need to think on which one to take down before they escape. The players should be given ample warning that taking on all three of these Grimm will be a very dangerous task, and only one should be attacked. These Mutated Grimm are glowing green with enrlaged spikes growing from their bodies. All of their bone-like plating is thicker and sharper, while they all seem extremely hostile, they will ignore the Players until one is attacked, at which that one will turn to attack and the others will keep going. ___ > ## Mutant Ursa >*Large Grimm* > ___ > - **Armor Class** 7 > - **Hit Points** 150 > - **Speed** 40ft. >___ >|STR|DEX|CON|INT|WIS|CHA| >|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| >|18 (+4)|14 (+2)|22 (+6)|1 (-5)|1 (-5)|1 (-5)| >___ > - **Saves** Fort (+9), Ref (+6), Will (N/A) > - **Bases Attack Bonus** +7 > - **Base Defense Bonus** +5 > ___ > ***Bear's Endurance.*** The Mutant Ursa gain a +7 bonus to all rolls dealing with an opponent forcing the Ursa to move in anyway. > > ***Layred Plating.*** The Mutant Ursa ignores 10 points of damage from non Pierce or Dust attacks. > > ***Unstable.*** When the Mutant Usra is slain, all players within 10ft. of it must make a Reflex save DC 20 or take 5d6 points of damage. > > ### Actions > ***Claws.*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* +11 to hit, reach 5ft., one target. *Hit* (3d6 + 4) > > ***Bite.*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* +11 to hit, reach 5ft., one target. *Hit* (3d8 + 4) > > ***Multiattack.*** The Mutant Ursa may make two claw attacks and one bite attack against any number of foes it can reach. The battlefield should be given enough of a layout for the Mutant Grimm to have ample room for Charge attacks and evasive movements to avoid gunfire or Dust, but still allow the players higher up cliffs and some terrain advantages in order to keep themselves well protected. Depsite how poorly the fight is going for the Mutant Grimm, it will not retreat, and only press on the attack at the closest player it can reach. ___ > ## Mutant Beowolf >*Large Grimm* > ___ > - **Armor Class** 9 > - **Hit Points** 130 > - **Speed** 50ft. >___ >|STR|DEX|CON|INT|WIS|CHA| >|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| >|26 (+8)|18 (+4)|18 (+4)|1 (-5)|1 (-5)|1 (-5)| >___ > - **Saves** Fort (+10), Ref (+5), Will (N/A) > - **Base Attack Bonus** +6 > - **Base Defence Bonus** +6 > ___ > ***Ferocity.*** When the Mutant Beowolf deals an attack that brings a target down to 75% or less HP, all players who can see the attack must make a Will Save DC equal to the damage or become Feared for 1d4 rounds. > > ***Dense Plating.*** The Mutant Beowolf ignores 10 points of damage from non Blunt or Dust attacks. > > ***Unstable.*** When the Mutant Beowolf is slain, all players within 10ft of it must make a Reflex save DC 20 or take 5d6 points of damage > > ### Actions > ***Claws.*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* +14 to hit, reach 5ft., one target. *Hit* (3d6 + 8) > > ***Bite.*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* +14 to hit, reach 5ft., one target. *Hit* (3d8 + 8) > > ***Multiattack.*** The Mutant Beowolf may make two claw attacks and one bite attack against any number of foes it can reach. With the first of three Mutated Grimm taken care of, the other two will have gotten too far away for the group to catch up. It is reccomended that group head back to Beacon, and inform one professors and Headmaster Ozpin about the current situation. Upon returning, the players will be awarded with 120 EXP to spend on character upgrades, following the rules for doing so in Character Creation. The players may gather what information they can around the school, however, due to the nature of this situation, the Professors will all keep relatively quiet about it, depsite the players having fought one already. If they can succeed a Diplomacy check, DC 20, they can get some information out of the Professors, and piece together the story more. The symbols on the crates belong to the scientist, and now madman, Dr. Merlot. He is the man responsible for the fall of the Mountain Glenn, and if his symbol is returning on these crates, he must be alive, as he was presumed dead after the Glenn was overrun by Grimm. His experiments of Grimm, trying to create some perfect creation, is the most likely, and most accepted reason for the Glenn being overrun.

They resist those two, and are weak to the unselected one, plus Dust. * All Mutant Grimm explode into a 10ft burst of 5d6 damage when killed, Reflex DC 20 to avoid. This attack hits Grimm as well. * All attacks gain 2 extra dice. * If the Grimm has any passive ability, increase it by 4 points. However, with the two Grimm on the loose still, the Professors will all reccomend the students to stay put, and avoid Forever Fall for the time being as they handle the situation. Depsite this, if this is brought to Ozpin, he will only make one remark: 'You are training to become Huntsmen and Huntresses, you must make these choices on your own.' With the expectation of his students going out to fight the Grimm, he give them a few encouring words. As usual, Ozpin is a man of few words and engimatic actions. ## Forever Fall

Credit: Unknown A much more jagged and rocky land, Forever Fall sit more nestled in mountains than the Emerald Forest. As such, there are plenty of large rivers, waterfalls, jagged outcrops, and more steep cliffs for the players, and Grimm, to use on their trek. Early on, they will find signs of the remaining two Mutant Grimm as they tear through the landscape. Despite this, their tracks twist and turn in on each other, creating loops. This should strike odd to the players, as Grimm usually don't display levels of intelligence like this. Survival Checks are needed to follow the right path, starting with a DC 20 and changing based on their success, failure, or overall process or elimination. During this trek, however, it should be noted that a few Grimm attacks can occur, and when rolling for Grimm encounters in Forever Fall, a d8 should be rolled instead. The dice rolls of one through six stay the same, but a 7 or 8 means the party is safe from a roll, the fight should be so simple, that it should barely pose any threat. No cages can be found in Forever Fall, however, a Survival check of a Natural 20, a Knowledge (Nature) or Perception check of 22 or higher will reveal, somewhere buried between rocks, vines and other nature, is a metal panel. The panel, upon closer look is a keypad that seems to be hooked up to something to unlock. A Disable Device check of 20 is eneded to unlock it, or they can find a four digit clue somewhere in the sections of the forest they have visited. For the sake of metagaming, the code is up to the Dungeon Master, but clues should be made somewhat readily open and easy to understand, such as a pile of rocks stacked seven high in the first area, one high in the next, three high after that, and finally four high. Whether or not the group deicdes to go along with this is up to them, as this part is totally optional and only serves for them to gain EXP, at the cost of wasting Dust if any use it to great extent.

\page ## Forever Fall Side Mission - The Satillite Labratory Upon punching in the numbers for the keypad, a section of the stone next to them will pull away to reveal a somewhat dark and dreary, only lit by some old, flickering lights. If Blake is played in this, the light does not distrupt her night vision, and she can see perfectly in this. Walking in, a number of cages line the walls a few feet in, each holding collars and muzzles to animals that are no longer there. Upon further inspection, the cages held no kind of food or water, and the size of them, as well as the numberous signs of damage from claws and maws, shows that these might not have been made for animals. As they make their way deeper in, a few deadend hallways lead off to more cages, and a massive amount of scattered and torn apart papers. As they search through it, the papers will be very tough to read, covered in ash, oil, and torn to bits. At most, the players can understand vauge words and sentences about the experiments that happened in this laboratory, and thanks to the papers, the group can piece together that this is not the true base of Dr. Merlot. A few of the lines of paper will go on about 'creating the perfect beast', 'using Grimm for science and to better further mankind', and 'Atlas and their robotic soldiers will not be enough to keep mankind safe'. The machinery of the labratory is old, worn out, and destroyed from both use and escaped Grimm. Torn to bits and sparking, it's a useless pile of scrap metal. A Perception check of DC 25 is needed upon entering the central room, a large hub of ruined machines and puddles of water. Anyone who succeedes the Preception check can make out the faint sounds of something following them. Despite looking around, there is nothing there, however, they are now alerted that something is watching them. As soon as the group leaves, the Geist Grimm, shown below, will attack. Knowing fully well it cannot fight, it'll possess the nearby machinery and attack the group.

\page After that, quiet possibly grueling fight, the group will be awarded 200 EXP. With the Geist Grimm dead, the group can use this place as a modest safe haven to level up, and they should. With not much left inside the Satillite Lab, the group should take this time to rest to recover their Aura and spend EXP, then head out, back on the hunt for the remaining two Mutant Grimm. After they're fully rested, it's off to hunting they go! ## Forever Fall - Continued Either after the hidden laboratory fight, or ignoring it completely, the group should continue finding the Mutant Grimm. The war path they left is still warm, and the hunt is on, following the same checks as before for hunting them. Upon coming to a clearing in Forever Fall, with a steep cliff towards one end, the two remaining Mutant Grimm can be seen. The Mutant Deathstalker, if still alive, will take notice and flee the area, leaving either the Beowulf or the Ursa to fight. This time, it will be roar out and call out two matching, normal Grimm to fight alongside it. The terrain is steep on one end, the cliff ending off to a ravine that spans 15ft wide, and roughly 50ft down. Most of the area is flat, with some rough terrain scattered around in order to pose some challenge, and finally, a 10ft spanning, knee deep river winding through the area. If a player, or Grimm, falls down into the ravine, there is a steep climb they could make to climb out, either two movement actions, or a single one and a DC 15 Athelitics check to climb the wall. After the fight, the group will be rewarded 100 EXP. Following the last Mutant Grimm after the fight, the group will have to hurry to find the last Mutant Grimm, hopefully the Deathstalker. Arriving at the edge of a wide river with a pier, the group can see the Mutant Grimm being quickly contained in a much, much larger cage by an automated system onboard a tanker ship. Here, the group has a very short window to somehow stop the tanker before it sails off after loading up the Grimm. When attacked, an alarm will be triggered, and a number of robotic guards will be deployed. If the tanker is attacked, and the loading crane destroyed, the last Mutant Grimm will be freed and attack the group as the tanker makes it way off. Otherwise, it will sail off after 5 rounds of preparing to launch. The robotic guards, the Merlot Robots, will make sure that the tanker is safe and able to escape with the Grimm in tow. If the Mutant Grimm is freed and killed, the group will recieve 150 EXP for the entire fight, however, if it escapes, the fight only gives 50 EXP. If a player manages to get onto the ship itself, the Tanker will halt loading the Grimm and attempt to grab the Player and throw them off, back onto land and quickly resume loading the Grimm. It will not flee with any Players onboard. Either way, with the tanker fleeing off into the water and leave the group behind. At this point, they should leave and, once again, return to Beacon to let the teachers know, though at this point, it might be best to just let Ozpin know. With the chance to rest and relax, the group can spend their EXP, and are able to refill their Dust supplies. Upon getting the chance to meet with Ozpin, he'll thank the group for what they learned, and even more so if they were able to take care of the last two Mutant Grimm. ___ > ## Merlot Security Bot >*Medium Machine* > ___ > - **Hit Points** 75 > - **Speed** 35ft. >___ >|STR|DEX|CON|INT|WIS|CHA| >|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| >|24 (+7)|14 (+2)|26 (+8)|6 (-2)|1 (-5)|1 (-5)| >___ > - **Saves** Fort (+8), Ref (+2), Will (N/A) > - **Base Attack Bonus** +5 > - **Base Defense Bonus** +2 > ___ > ***Armor Plating.*** The Merlot Secruity Bots are immune to Critical Hits and extra damage from Weakpoint Striker. > > ***Limited Equipment.*** Merlot Secruity Bots can only have either the Beam Rifle or Energy Blades weapon. > ### Actions > ***Grenade Launcher/Energy Rifle.*** *Ranged Weapon Attack, Grenade Launcher:* +7 to hit, reach 35ft., 15ft AoE. *Hit* (4d6).

During this time, they are given 4 Weapon Upgrade points, and can only spend them in the Academy. As they relax, word will spread about the sighting of odd, unnamed ships that only go to Forever Fall, and offshore somewhere else. They can attempt some chatter out in town, and gather what information they can, though most of it will only be rumors and deadends at best. Eventually, the option of sneaking onto the ship, or something along that idea should pop into their heads. With whatever information they have, and this idea in mind, they have their next goal in mind. Somehow, they have to find their way into a tanker for the ship, and infiltrate wherever they are brought. With only two options, the Emerald Forest, or Forever Fall, the group will need to make that choice rather quickly, but with a few checks to remember, the group should be reminded that the Forever Fall location was active, loading up the Grimm as they fought.

\page ## Return to Forever Fall After the group has had time to rest up properly, upgrade their weapons, and spend their EXP, they'll have to make their trek back into Forever Fall. Their trek will, hopefully, be very peaceful and relaxed, as determined by the Dungeon Master's whim on their encounter roll. After making their way to the dock, the group will need to make a Stealth Check, of DC 20 to avoid detection from a small number of the Merlot Security Bots. The terrain will have some spots to hide in, and a few paths to take to the a few empty cages. Ren's Semblance can aid in preventing Grimm from finding them, Weiss' Semblance can be used to get to places quicker or locking down the Bots, and Ruby's Semblance can be used for quickly getting into the cage, being the last one to get in. From their starting position, the cage is 100ft away from them, which is 15ft from the ship itself. If they are noticed, the group will only have 5 rounds to get into the cage before the ship escapes. If the entire group is not in the cage by the time , the ship's crane will lift the cage and shake them out before fleeing, making the group return the next day to attempt this again. When successful, the group will be brought onboard the ship, and locked in the cage until they have arrived to their destination.As they are brought out towards sea, they'll notice their scrolls loosing reception, meaning until they can figure out a way back to Vale, they'll be stuck where ever they are. ## The Isle of Doctor Merlot After a few hours, the group will suddenly arrive at the Isle of Doctor Merlot, a barren, somewhat wasteland of land, littered with the bodies of broken Merlot Bots, and ruined machinery. With the ship taking the cage off and letting the group go, they'll be greeted by the sight of the shoreline, a large mountain range, and a number of small towers, CCT in make. With their scrolls unable to make any form of contact to anything outside the island, the group will need to find a way to get back, and make contact, as the ship they arrived on has seemingly stopped working. The towers are a decent start, being CCT in make. Making their way to them, however, isn't that easy, having to climb through the rubble and wreckage, keeping an eye out for Merlot Bots. All Merlot Bot Encounters should be one less than the party, and the majority being Energy Blade Bots. Once at the first of many smaller towers, a proper Disable Device check of DC 25 to turn off the Tower without causing much of an alarm. If no one can do that, however, breaking the control panel with whatever they see fit will do the trick as well, however it will raise an alarm and the group will instantly be attacked by Merlot Bots. On either outcome, with the one tower disabled, communications will come through quickly, with Ozpin asking what is going on, and where are they, however the communications will be very staticy. Despite knowing they would do something like this, he cant help but seem somewhat disappointed. However, he will be somewhat proud the group has taken the initiative on such a mission. Giving them a few words of encouragement, he'll let the group know to disable the auxillary CCT Towers in the area, and warn them about Merlot and what he does. Dr. Merlot, a crazed man, was known for his experiments of Grimm, and was presumed to be dead after the fall of the Mountain Glenn, caused by his own actions, with Grimm being lured to the civilization and ending in it's demise. Now, seeing how the cages are baring his old symbol, and the appearance of both the Merlot Bots and Mutant Grimm, it seems like he lived the fall, and has gone back to his old ways, experimenting on Grimm. Despite the initial attack by the Merlot Bots, the rest of the island seems just as barren as the shore did, covered only in empty cargo tankers, and various used and discared machinery of all kinds, riddled into ladders, sacffolding, and ramps to make makeshift pathways over the craggy terrain. The sight of two more smaller CCT Towers can be seen somewhat deeper into the island, leading the group to know what their next course of action is. At certain times, various checks will be needed to progress, mainly consisting of Athelthics, Acrobatics, Disable Device, Perception, and Survival, to pass through. Various cliffs with rickety bridges, large metal sheets blocking off pathways, twisting and mazelike ravines, and various makeshift doors and bridges that are either locked or drawn, are among the few things that the group will need to overcome. No direct map is supplied, as Dungeon Masters are at liberty to make their own in order to prevent metagaming. An encounter should be tossed into there somewhere as well, to make sure that the player's are still expecting attacks from Merlot Bots, but only one should be used throughout the entirety of the Skill based section. Upon getting through this section, the group will be brought to a much more active section of the island, with more active machines, whirring to life with steam vents, vats of an odd, green liquid, and very thin scaffolding. By this time, the sun will be setting, and the group will have a choice to make, either continue onward through this new, machine dominated land, or find a place to settle for the night, and tackle it in the morning. With some scouting attempts, a number of Merlot Bots can be seen doing small patrol routes along the scaffolding, and various stable platforms, both of metal overhands, or solid rock. One or two Mutated Beowulves can be seen with the patrol, but they're kept isolated from the Merlot Bots, and only on the larger, stable platforms, their new size unable to let them fit on the much smaller platforms. Perception and Survival checks are needed to find a sizable safe spot from both the Grimm and the Merlot Bots.

\page ## The Technological Island Continuing on their trek through Merlot's Island, the next CCT Tower is in sight. Kept on an elevated platform over a large series of machines, crushing up rock in a search for metal. Making their way past through the various thin walkways and through the Merlot Bots' pathing, arriving at the CCT Platform in and of itself isn't easy. With two Rifle Guards, and one Blade Guard, they are accompanied by a Mutant Creep Grimm, and plan on keeping the CCT Tower safe. With the second Tower taken care of, either through their actions of breaking down the control panel, or simply disabling it. Either way, in the middle of Ozpin's congratulatory words of inspiritation, the transmission will be cut off, and the voice of Dr. Merlot will overtake Ozpin's before suddenly cutting off outside connections. With some choice words, Merlot will warn the group that they should leave as quickly as they can, though he does ignore the question about how they'll get back. Only taunting them about his 'greatest creation ever', Merlot will give them a few words of discouragement before leaving them in radio silence. ___ > ## Mutant Creep >*Medium Grimm* > ___ > - **Armor Class** 7 > - **Hit Points** 130 > - **Speed** 35ft. >___ >|STR|DEX|CON|INT|WIS|CHA| >|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| >|22 (+6)|20 (+5)|12 (+4)|1 (-5)|1 (-5)|1 (-5)| >___ > - **Saves** Fort (+8), Ref (+8), Will (N/A) > - **Base Attack Bonus** +5 > - **Base Defense Bonus** +6 > ___ > ***Leathery Hide.*** The Mutant Creep ignores 10 points of damage from all non Pierce or Dust attacks. > > ***Unstable.*** When the Mutant Creep is slain, all players within 10ft of it must make a Reflex save DC 20 or take 5d6 damage. > > ### Actions > ***Slam.*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* +7 to hit, reach 5ft., one target. *Hit* (3d8 + 6, 4d8 + 6 when used as a Charge) > > ***Bite.*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* +7 to hit, reach 5ft., one target. *Hit* (2d6 + 6) > > ***Multiattack.*** The Mutant Creep may make one bite attack and one slam attack attack against any target it can reach. With this tower done, and the third and final one in sight, the group will need to press on, only stopped by, yet again, another locked door. Another proper Disable Device check, this time DC 30 is needed to unlock it. Failure leads to an alarm going off, signaling more Merlot Bots to attack. While the door is obviously alarmed, giving the group some warning to it, a breakable vent is seen hidden in shadows with a successful Perception DC 22, or Blake can spot it instantly without the need of a check. Heading in this way leads to the same spot, but much more stealthily. Once inside, the building is more of a pass through the mountain range than a proper building, but it is still loaded full of machines, pumping the odd, green liquid from before through tubes that criss-cros around the long, straight corridor. Only two level exist in the corridor, and the second level is more or less a scaffolding for others to walk along. Parts of it seem to be worn out from corrosion, so the platform seems to be there for safety reasons more than anything else. A few side rooms seem to be very safe, as the passageway is empty and barren. So, if needed, the group can take some time to rest and relax in safety of one of the rooms on the scaffolding. With the chance to rest, the group can spend some time to try and fiddle with their Scrolls in order to get communications back to Ozpin, requiring a DC 35 Repair check, despite not having the right tools to even try it. If successful, they can get a few minute out to talk to Ozpin about the current situation. Leaving them with little information, Ozpin will only leave them with the news of Dr. Merlot's experiments, but the group has clearly fought them. The biggest thing will be the rumors of the 'Alpha Experiments', the first batch of true experiments, with one known only as 'Jungle King', before getting cut off.

Credit: RoosterTeeth After their hopeful rest, and exiting off the other end of the passageway, they'll be greeted to the last and final tower. Knowing that it'll be under attack, Merlot has it guarded with about four of his Merlot Bots, and one more Mutant Creep. Knowing well this time, the Merlow Bots will properly defend the Tower, not leaving the control panel and open fire on the group as they make their attempt to get towards it. With this finally done, and the last Tower disabled, the group will gain 55 EXP, and can spend it in the safe spot back in the mountain passageway.

\page With the last Tower down, Ozpin will come in for a few minutes, asking them about their progress. At the same time, from their new position on the Tower, the group can spy the main base of Dr. Merlot's operations. With the laboratory in the distance, with a straight, clean path to it, the group knows what they'll have to do next. ## Inside the Lab of a Madman The Laboratory is a sprawling mass of metal, pipes and steam. A suspeciously empty path, the group will have no trouble getting to the laboratory. With a clearly unlocked door, they'll be allowed to make their way inside with ease. The inner workings of the Laboratory is riddled with even more platforms and thin walkways overtop of pipes, steam vents, and now, vats of the green liquid, being churned and seperated into various, clear containers that are storing it. Going over these walkways, Ozpin will contact them one more, asking for them to somehow find a computer or terminal so upload their location to him, so he can send an airship to evacuate them. But he has one other mission for them: Destroy the Labroatory somehow. The Laboratory is a winding, somewhat mazelike area, with a number of deadends that lead into storage for a number of machines, as well as Grimm cages, and in some, the green liquid. A few Merlot Bots are stored in the rooms, but they all are disabled, and can be taken out before they awake and attack. In this time, searching through various side rooms and through the twisting path, nothing could be found even close to resembling a terminal. Suspcious, the last Mutant Grimm that might have gotten back to the island safely has been no where in sight. In fact, no normal Grimm were in sight aside from the Mutant ones, though the abundance of cages says otherwise. Despite this, the number of deactivated Merlot Bots seems odd as well, and should raise suspicion. Eventually, throughout the Dungeon Master inspired layout, they'll come across a large, open vat-like area, processing the green liquid and offshooting it into six smaller holding vats. The vats, while large, are seemingly made of a clear glass, and from each, a Mutant Creep crawls out and takes notice to the group. However, these Grimm are different, and in a way to show the group, a Merlot Bot will appear, and in an attempt to keep the group away, will shoot and miss, hitting one of the Mutant Creeps, causing it to instantly explode. These Creeps, known as Alpha Creeps, have Zero AC and only One HP, making them affectively suicide bombers. With the vats producing them, one per vat at the top of every round. The Vats have 50 HP, and no required roll to hit, but will be scattered in a hexagonal shape around the main pumping machine. Once all six of the smaller vats have been destroyed, the main pumping machine will malfunction and turn off, the pumps stopping and the liquids in the various tubes around them congealing in the tubes, eventually rupturing them and breaking. With that, a warning alarm will go off, and Merlot will contact them on their Scrolls, furious that they're destroying his lab. Of course, the Player's shouldn't care about that, and continue onward through whatever door they can find. As that plant floods, once they're out the door will lock behind them, and the new path will lead onwards. With alarms still going off, a number of Merlot Bot patrols, no more than two, will be looking for them. Now, certain sections of the floor will be laced with automated spike traps, sprining to life in set patterns. Anyone one them when they go off will need to make a DC 15 Reflex to avoid the damage, or take 10 points of damage when they raise. At the end of the booby trapped pathway, a rather obvious terminal can be seen nestled in with other machines. Finding what they need, they'll need to do a Disable Device DC 30 to start the transmission to Ozpin for him to help them. Taking some time, an alarm will trigger near them, calling out a few Mutant Creeps, the non Alpha variety. The upload will finish when the last Creep is slain, and with that, Ozpin will contact them and give them the way out, while still causing as much damage as they can. A twisting path, and with the multitude of alarms going off, Merlot will be screaming at them via through scrolls, but the group should press onward nevertheless. The traps will be scattered about the pathway, but very few Bots will attack now. Over the course of their trek down the pathway, a few smaller, glass tankers can be seen, still filled with the odd, green liquid. Breaking them is highly reccomended, and in doing so, Merlot will yell at them once again about 'Ruining his Mutant Syrum'. As more and more are broken, he'll chime in with a few snide quips about 'not needing more' and that 'his magnum opus is finally complete'. Halfway through the pathway, a loud roaring can be heard, following the sounds of crashing and tearing metal. Turning to look, they'll come across the sight of a Beowolf, twice the size of the normal one, and even more mutated than the normal Mutant Beowolfs. The group should have one of two options: Run and continue to smash whatever they can, or stay and fight the new, more beserk monster of a Grimm. Running away, while smart and saving on ammo and dust, the group will come across a small ductway they can dive into and hide, the Alpha Beowolf unable to break down the attacthed wall, or fit through the much smaller vent. Fightning the Alpha Beowolf, however, will be a daunting task, and a successful hunt means 200 EXP. On either pathway they take for this, the much more durable wall, and small vent, meaning this secluded room is a moderate safe haven for the group to relax and spend possible EXP from the Alpha Grimm fight. In this small haven, a terminal can be used to get a bit of a more detailed map of the area and the mildly confusing readouts on their damage to the pumping systems. From here, three pathways will be listed: Loading Bay, Containment Bay, and Serum Storage. The group can head out to the Loading Bay to escape, or they can handle the two other sections before they make their escape.

\page ___ > ## The Alpha Mutant Beowolf >*Huge Grimm* > ___ > - **Armor Class** 10 > - **Hit Points** 250 > - **Speed** 30ft. >___ >|STR|DEX|CON|INT|WIS|CHA| >|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| >|30 (+10)|6 (-2)|30 (+10)|1 (-5)|1 (-5)|1 (-5)| >___ > - **Saves** Fort (+18), Ref (-4) > - **Base Attack Bonus** +10 > - **Base Defense Bonus** +1 > ___ > ***Distant Hatred.*** When attacked by a ranged attack of any kind, the Alpha Beowolf will instantly focus it's attention on the attack, and may charge up to 30ft to make three Claw attacks at the target, no matter the initiative order. If the target who triggered Distant Hatred is not in range, the Alpha Grimm may make these three Claw attacks at the nearest target it can reach. > > ***Unstable.*** When the Alpha Mutant Beowolf is slain, all players within 20ft of it must make a Reflex save DC 24 or take 5d8 damage. > ### Actions > ***Claw.*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* +20 to hit, reach 5ft., one target. *Hit* (4d6 + 10) > > ***Bite.*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* +20 to hit, reach 5ft., one target. *Hit* (4d8 + 10) > > ***Unstable Crystal.*** *Ranged Weapon Attack:* +8 to hit, reach 50ft by 15ft line. Reflex DC of 15 for Half Damage (6d6 + 10) > > ***Multiattack.*** The Mutant Beowolf may make two claw attacks and one bite attack against any number of targets it can reach. ## The Containment Bay The narrow passage, surrounded by convayor belts and cranes, moving around a number of empty cages, however, every now and then, a cage with a Creep, Beowolf, or Ursa can be seen getting sent somewhere deep into the Laboratory. Following the spike trap riddled path, more and more Grimm cages can be seen stacked atop one another, some holding some live Grimm inside them. With no Merlot Bots around, and only the crane machinery doing their thing, it's safe to assume what the players will do. Destroying it in any way, shape, or form, the alarms will blare and scream as they always have been, and with this, the Grimm containing cages will unleash their contained Grimm, just as that happens, Merlot Bots will be unleashed from hidden compartments in the walls. Torn between the group and the Grimm, the Bots will prioritize the Players, but the Grimm will attack the Bots first. With the Containment Bay destroyed to the best of their abilities, the group can either spend the time to finish off the Merlot Bots, six in total, and the Grimm, twelve in total that are split between regular Beowolves, Creeps, and Ursa. Fightning this group could be dangerous if they somehow draw the attention of all of the Merlot Bots and the Grimm at the same time, so they can hide, beating a Stealth DC 20 to do so. Waiting out for whatever the outcome is, the group can strike at will, and if they partake in the fight, they'll start out with 180 EXP, and 10 points are lost per enemy that is killed by either the Merlot Bots or the Grimm. Merlot will contact them once again, yelling at them, and in an attempt to make them stop, he'll attempt to bargin with them, asking them to join his side and abandon Ozpin, offering them money and power. Ozpin will chime in as well with a heavy sigh, knowing that the group won't give in. ## Syrum Storage As the rest of the Laboratory, the pathway to the Storage is littered with spike traps and narrow corridors. Aside from the spike traps, this time the Syrum Storage is lined with a number of doors, some sealed, and some not, requiring either a very solid strike to break through them, or spending some time to get the Disable Device DC 24 to open them. Failing to open a door this way will trigger more alarms, at this point, it's safe to say the player's are numb to those sounds as they've been tearing their way through the Laboratory. As a safer, yet slower way, to get through these secruity doors, are some ducts. Breaking through them, the group can use them to bypass the doors as they make their way down, deeper into the Syrum Storage, evident by the pipes and tubes of the green liquid, though thanks to their actions in the Pump Room, the movemnent in the room has stagnated. Held in massive containers, the Mutant Syrum will be vulnerable to whatever they do, but it's a safe bet to attack from a range to prevent them from being touched by the Syrum. This is where the choices of opening the doors or not comes in play. If the doors were open, this will be no problem, however, if the vents were opened, then the players will need to think quickly and figure out who is going through the vents first in order to prevent a buildup. If the doors were open as well, once everyone is through the first door, the door and vent will seal behind them and prevent the Syrum from flooding out after them, otherwise, it'll continue out through the broken vents, up until the last door, where the emergency systems will shut down the entire Syrum Storage. Dr. Merlot will contact the group, screaming and yelling at them about how much of his much needed Syrum has been wasted and ruined with the destruction of his Pumping Systems and his Syrum Storage.

\page ## The Grand Escape and the Omega Deathstalker With the last bit of Merlot's Laboratory destroyed, Ozpin will chime in and inform them that an airship is heading towards the Loading Bay to get them safely from the ruined Lab, with a window of 5 minutes until evacuation. As the group makes their way down towards the open air hanger, the doors behind them will seal shut, and a massive cage will drop down from above and break open, revealing Dr. Merlot's greatest creation: The Omega Deathstalker. Communications to Ozpin will be cut off, meaning there is a hard time limit that the group can spend on the Omega Deathstalker before their Airship home will be destroyed. Gloating, Dr. Merlot will taunt them, saying that there's no way they could ever defeat his prized creation. During the fight, a number of electrical wires will burst from the walls due to the pressure from the destroyed stations in the Labroatory, and various falling metal sheets and infrastructure, creating a number of areas for the players to hide behind for mild cover. However, the sheer size of the Omega Deathstalker can easily destroy these makeshift pieces of cover, and the size of it renders the electrical wires a moot point in damaging it. The electrical wires deal 6 damage every turn someone stands on their spot, making this a potential farming spot for Yang or Nora's Semblances. The various sheets of metal, as well as the scrap metal make perfect weapons and tools for Pyrrha to use, and the large amount of it is more than enough for Ren to take someone to hide if their Aura breaks. Throughout the fight, Dr. Merlot will taunt them, despite how it's actually going. As the Omeg Deathstalker is damaged, more of it's bone-like plating will be removed. Once at 400 HP, it's Armor Class will drop down two points, and one of it's stingers will break off, making it's Stinger Spray attack drop to 6d4 damage. At 200 HP, it's Armor Class will drop another two points, and a second stinger will break off, droping it's Stinger Spray down to 2d4 damage. Every 100 HP lost, the Omega Deathstalker's Strength will drop by four points.

With the group getting on, and safely leaving the Laboratory, and the Island, their Scrolls will connect to Dr. Merlot one final time as he yells and screams about his life's work being ruined and destroyed, muffled only by the destruction of his Laboratory. Ozpin, contacting them after, will congratulate them on their impromptu mission, and despite breaking a few rules here and there about not going out to do so, he'll overlook them, the good outweighing the negative in this one situation.

\page # Old Rules and Information The following pages contain old information and such that has been worked out of the RWBY System in one way or another. For the sake of anyone using this, and my own sake of remembering how things worked, the information will be kept availible for everyone to see, and use in the event that the newer rules are not liked in some way. ## The Number of Attack Rule The Number of Attacks rule was replace by the 'Number of Actions' rule in the system on page 3. The following information is all rules regarding Number of Attacks. * And finally, Number of Attacks. A Player only starts off with one attack. A Player may have as many attacks as they wish, but if they have more attacks than the last unlisted physical score, they recieve a compounding -2 to all attacks. For example, a player with a Dexterity based Attack, and a Constitution based Defense, must use their Strength Modifier to determine the number of attacks they can make before suffering the penalties. The limit is two times the Modifier, meaning a player with a Modifier of a +3 may have six attacks before suffering penalties. A Player starts with a minimal of two attacks before penalties, no matter their Modifier. * While in combat, however, Aura recovers at a much slower rate. A Player's Aura only recovers by 1 Aura per round. However, a player may forgo certain actions in order to gain more Aura. The player adds their Charisma Modifier to each action taken to recover Aura. A Player cannot recover their Aura if it is Broken. * Free Actions give only 1 Aura. * Swift and Immeditate Actions recover 3 Aura. * Movement Actions recover 5 Aura. * Standard Actions recover 8 Aura. * Full Round Actions recover 15 Aura. * #### Teamwork Makes the Dream Work As stupid and overused a saying it is, it is true. Players are expected to work as a team, but if they have some issues, it's up to them to work it out. Normally, players should work on their teamwork one character at a time. Working on a 'super awesome fourman dogpile team attack' right off the start is a great goal, but it will most likely fail right away. Instead, it should be suggested that players start with working on combination attacks with one other teammate, and when they get a number of those attacks down, they move on to another teammate. When players wish to do team attacks, both players must agree, and be willing to share the consequences to whatever happens. In the attack, they both roll to attack, and use the number of the lower one as their total. Then, the defender rolls a single Defense Roll to defend against the attack, and from there, it is settled as a normal attack. Both players must expend a number of attacks that they wish to dedicate to the Team Attacks, but a player may not give all of their attacks for the Team Attack. If the attack hits, the defender suffers the effects of both attacks, but if they defend, they ignore the effects of both attacks. For example, Blake and Yang decide to do a Team Attack. Blake has five attacks, and Yang has six. This means the two of them can perform four Team Attacks, as this would leave Blake with one attack left, and a player cannot drop to zero attacks from performing a Team Attack. For the first attack, Yang rolls a 19 to hit, and Blake rolls a 22, meaning the Defender must beat a 19 to defend both attacks. On their next attack, Yang rolls a 20, and Blake rolls a 17, but the Defender rolls a 19. It beats Blake's 17, but doesn't beat Yang's 20, but because Blake had the lower number, the attack fails. As the team practices these attacks more, some bonuses can be given to them if they are done in repeat motions, practicing the same attack over and over to make the attack somewhat second nature. And as time goes on, these attacks can be mixed and matched into other ones, starting off long chains of combination attacks that weave in and out of other Team Attacks with different players. What can and can't be done is limited by the players' weapons, Semblances, possibility for Dust, Faunus type, and overwall, what the Dungeon Master is willing to allow. * ### Aura Projection EXP Cost 40, Unarmed/Fist Weapon. When attacking or defending, the Player may drain up to their Charisma Modifier of Aura to increase their Base Attack Bonus, Base Defense Bonus, Combat Maneuver Bonus, Combat Maneuver Defense, or their damage by that number. This number may be divided into any of the above stats they see fit. * ### Axe Kick EXP Cost 30, Unarmed/Fist Weapon. When a target falls prone or is tripped within the Player's melee range, they may make a special Attack of Opportunity. If the attack is successful, the attack deals double damage.

\page * ### Calming Aria EXP 30, Perform (Sing) Tag Skill. The Player may forgo any number of Attacks. In doing so, they may let any number of allies reroll a Will Save for Fear effects. They recieve a bonus on that save equal to the amount of Attacks given up plus 1 * ### Combat Insight EXP Cost 40. The Player may now make a number of Attacks of Opportunity equal to one plus their Number of Attack stat Modifier. * ### Enduring Assault EXP Cost 75. When attacking, the Player only suffers a -1 compounding penalty on attack rolls when dealing with having more attacks than the Player's Number of Attacks Modifier. * ### Forceful Disengage EXP Cost 45. When defending against an attack, if the Player successfully defends against at least half of the attacker's attacks, the Player may make a special CMB Check to shove the attacker away 5ft. The Attacker is shoved by an additional 5ft per 10 points the Player rolls over the attacker's CMD. They may only make this check once per Target per turn. * ### Knockout Punch EXP Cost 35, Unarmed/Fist weapon. The Player may forgo half of their attacks in order to attempt to Stun a target. Make an attack roll as normal. Instead of dealing damage, the target must make a Fortitude Save, DC equal to 10 plus the Damage of their weapon or become Stunned for one turn. * ### Parrying Blow EXP Cost 40, Bow/Crossbow Weapon. When in the melee reach of an opponent's weapon or natural attacks, the Player may make up to half of their ranged attacks without provoking an Attack of Opportunity while attacking with their Bow or Crossbow. * ### Parting Shot EXP Cost 50, Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot, non-Area of Effect Ranged Weapon, Acrobatics Tag Skill. When attacking, the Player may use their last two attacks to leap off a target within 5ft of them and jump back 10ft, making a single attack against the target they used to leap. This movement does not provoke an Attck of Opportunity, but reduces the Player's movement speed by 10ft for the next turn. * ### Rapid Reload EXP Cost 25. The Player may now reload their weapon or change out ammo types without using an Attack. * ### Relentless Pummeling EXP Cost 45, Unarmed/Fist Weapon. The Player may double their number of attacks by taking a compounding -1 to every attack. Each successfully hit deals half total damage. * ### Quick Change EXP Cost 25. The Player may now change their weapon's form without wasting an attack as a Free Action. * ### Scout's Eye EXP Cost 40, Improved Initiatve. The Player may take a single move or attack action in a surprise round of combat. They may also substitute their Initiative roll with a Perception Check, gaining the +4 Bonus of Improved Inititaive. * ### Spy's Eye EXP Cost 35, Scout's Eye, Improived Initiative. The Player may take a full round of actions if caught in a surprise round of combat. * ### Stiff Arm EXP Cost 30, Unarmed/Fist Weapon. When an Opponent is making a Bull Rush, Charge, or Overrun attempt, the player may make a single attack. If successful, the target stops in the first availible spot in front of the Player. This can only be used on creatures up to one size larger than the Player. * ### Suppressing Fire EXP Cost 40, Weapon with Full Auto capabilities. The Player may select a number of 5ft Cubes up to the amount of spaces their Weapon can target with their Full Auto Attack ability. These selected spots must all be connected and form a cube shape as closely as possible. Whenever an enemy moves through one of the threatened cubes, the Player may make an Attack of Opportunity for the movement only. They make also make as many Attacks of Opporunity they can before their next turn, but each one adds a compounding -2 to their Attack Roll. * ### War Dancer EXP Cost 25, Perform Dance Tag Skill. The Player may forgo as many attacks as they wish. In doing so, all allies who can see the Dancer gain a morale bonus on Base Attack Bonus and Base Defense Bonus equal to the Dancer's Charisma Modifier plus the number of Attacks they have given up.

\page ## Dust Rulings and Feats # Dust ## What is Dust? Dust is a naturally occurring, crystallized energy source used throughout Remnant. It is used for everything from, batteries to fuel to weapons, and everything in between. Dust originally is found in one of four base kinds: Fire, Water, Earth, and Wind.

Credit: RoosterTeeth While there are only the four 'base' types, other elements of Dust can be created by mixing together Dust, which can occur naturally or through intervention. The amount of different Dust types is seemingly limitless, but the practical uses of the near infinite types are severely limited. A powerful weapon, Dust must be refined and properly treated before it can be used. In it's natural, raw state, Dust is highly volatile, prone to massive explosions. Once reformed, Dust is highly safe to use. ## Types of Dust Aside from the four primary kinds of Dust. there are a number of different cominations of Dust that are made through mainly undisclosed ways, however, Academies carefully moniter when students are tasked to make their ammo. Most secondary effects of Dust only applicable as bullets, or ranged Dust attacks. * Fire: Dealing Damage of time, usually half of the damage dealt, Fire Dust also grants a bonus to hit higher target, starting at a +2. * Ice: Granting slow effects, or crowd control type field effects, Ice Dust also grants a bonus to hitting lower targets. starting at a +2. * Lightning: Lightning Dust can either arc through different opponents and shock them in an Area of Effect, or fire in a straight line and pierce in an 'infinite' line. Lightning Dust can also Stun targets. Lightning Dust also gains a +2 bonus to hit targets with a substancial amount of metal. * Wind: When attacking a target that uses Dexterity for their Base Defense Bonus, the defender loses their Dexterity Modifier to Base Defense Bonus. Wind Dust also deals with knocking targets Prone. * Water: When attacking a target that uses Constitution for their Base Defense Bonus, the defender loses their Constitution Modifier to their Base Defense Bonus. Water Dust also deals well with foricbly moving targets. * Earth: When attacking a target that uses Strength for their Base Defense Bonus, the defender loses their Strength Modifier to their Base Defense Bonus. Earth Dust deals with foricbly moving targets. * Gravity: While granting a raw damage boost to all damage, Gravity Dust is also used to either slow down opponents, or push them around. * Steam: Ranged attacks break into clouds of vision obscuring mist and steam after they hit their target, dealing a very modest Damage over Time as well. * Light: While dealing very modest damage, Light Dust is used to blind foes, or quickly obscure movements. * Darkness: Dealing very modest damage as well, Darkness Dust is used in the same fashion as Light Dust, though through taking light. * Thunder: Thunder Dust has a special Area of Effect quality, doubling in damage or range when done in Cones or Areas around the attacker, also granting effects of Stun, Confusion, or Knockback. * Hard-Light: Sole for Defense, Hard-Light Dust is highly capably to block attacks of all kinds. * Magma: Heavily offensive and rather slow, Magma dust is a powerhouse for raw damage, and keeping areas locked down. * Plant: While dealing light damage, Plant Dust allows for the quick growth of flora, allowing for various field control effects. ## Using Dust Using Dust itself is modestly simple. If one wishes to use it for it's core feature of extra damage, then one does not need to put much thought into Dust, or the Use Dust skill. However, if one wishes to truly use Dust to it's fullest, then a higher Intelligence and a high Use Dust skill is needed. Using dust with an attack is a Free Action that is part of the Attack. Dust is initially limited on how many different effects a person can use while using it. Increasing the amount of effects is based on the number of ranks in Use Dust and their roll. For every 4 ranks in Use Dust, not the total skill, the player may add one Modifier Point to their Dust attack, as well as adding another effect for every 4 points of their total Use Dust check. For example, if a Player has 17 ranks of Use Dust, they are given four extra additions to their Dust attack. If the total roll is 35, they are given eight extra additions to their Dust attack in addition to the four from their Dust Use ranks, meaning the player has ten modifications to their Dust attack.

\page Dust comes in four different vial sizes: Small, Medium, Large, and Extra large. When creating their weapon, a player's Weapon starts with one free Small Dust Vial of any element of Dust. Dust is measured in Grains, and each Vial size contains a different amount. Small Vials contain 1,000 Grains, Medium Vials contain 2,000 Grains, Large contain 3,000 Grains, and Extra Large contain 5,000 Grains. While it does seem like a lot, people who find themselves going for a Dust Use build might find that this might not even be enough, but with proper use and timing, players can make even the Small vials last long enough in combat. Players may have multiple types of the same Dust Vials in their weapon. All attacks deal ten extra damage when using Dust. If a player is using Dust just for the extra damage, no Dust Use roll is needed, but drains 2 Grains per turn the affect is active. When using Dust Use for more in dept skills, the following bullet points can be used to better determine what affects happen, but every affect only costs one addition. * Increase the damage by 5. * Increase the range of an attack by 10ft. All attacks start with a moldable 25ft of space to use. * Increase the DC of all secondary effects by 3. DCs start at a DC 15, and are mostly either Fortitude or Reflex Saves. * Increase the secondary damage by 2. All secondary damage starts at 5. * Increase the duration of secondary affects, such as Damage over time, by 1 round. Initial duration starts at 2 rounds. No matter the ranks, or use or lack of a Dust Use skill, all Dust effects have these base effects, as listed above: 10 Damage, 25ft of space, DC 15 Fortitude or Reflex Save, Secondary Damage of 5, and a duration of 2 rounds. This initial use costs 10 Grains, and is considered the 'Base Cost'. The list of Dust may be expanded and more types are thought of. ## What are the Limits? Like the combinations of Dust, the only limit one can do with it is through their imagination, practicality, and overall limits of their surroundings. Is there a raging fire? Water Dust to put it out. Is there a chasm that needs to be crossed? Use Earth or Ice Dust to make a bridge. Car needs a kickstart? Quick jolt of Lightning Dust. Situations like this require the Dungeon Master to think of an appropriate cost of Dust. However, one major flaw about Dust, when used as a weapon for Students at least, is that it requires the use of Aura to work. While it does not cost anything, and if it did, it it highly negligable, Dust will not react in combat without Aura. While in combat, Dust is highly limited through their Dust Use skill in general, outside combat, players should be allowed more free and less rigid ruling on what to do, as the stress of combat can only allow so much time, and requires much more reflex thinking. Outside of combat, however, the time to do certain things and the usual lack of stress allow much more free thinking. If a player is, for example, making an Earth Dust bridge like listed above, and there is no immediate danger, a player should be allowed to make the bridge without the need of a Dust Use check, however they are still required to expend Dust Grains. However, if the object in question is less than the base 25ft of space allowed, then no extra Dust other than the Base Cost, then no extra Grains will be expended. Some players with certain Semblances can also combine the effecs of their Semblance and Dust. In doing so, this is a Dust Use check as well, with a flat DC of 15. If a failure, the Dust used it wasted, but this does not affect the player's action in combat. With a Successful check, the player may combine the actions of their Dust Roll and their Semblance, and while costing both Aura and Dust Grains, the effects are usually much more powerful than not, as Semblance effects are usually more specific, and unable to be mimiced by Dust.

Credit: RoosterTeeth For Example, Ruby Rose, who has the Semblance of Speed, wants to mix Dust and her Semblance. Her Use Dust Skill is only at what her base Intelligence Modifier is, a +3, so her chance of doing this is slightly above a fifty-fifty chance. Using Fire Dust, she wants to use her Speed to Dash to an enemy and use the Dust to leave a trail behind her to cut off other Grimm. She rolls a 10 on the d20 roll, and only gets a total of a 13, meaning she fails the Dust Use check, however her Action to 'Use her Semblance and Dash to the Grimm to attack' is still a valid choice, though she is now locked into that attack. Weiss Schnee, on the other hand, is much more trained in Dust Use, with a base Intelligence Modifier of a +5, and a Dust Use skill of a +14, totalling to a +19 on her Dust Use skill. Her chances of failing the combination of her Semblance and Ice Dust is practically impossible, only failing her chance on a natural 1 on her d20. Her attack easily succeeds, and her Ice Dust attack is easily able to go off.

\page ## Dust in Detail * Fire Dust. While limited in basic extra effects, Fire Dust is, in essence, fire! It can light flammable liquids, like oil and gasoline, and spark dry tinder on fire. When attacking targets at a higher range, Fire Dust increases it's chance to hit as stated before. A Modification point increases this bonus by a +2. When hit by Fire Dust, the target(s) must make a Reflex check or catch on fire and take one fourth of the initial damage, rounded down, per round they are on fire. In order to be put out, the target(s) must succeed another Reflex Check of DC 15, which is different than the DC to avoid catching on fire, as a Standard Action. Water Dust instantlly puts out the Fire, as does any other logical way to smother out fire. Fire Dust is colored Red. * Ice Dust. Much more versitile than Fire, but still lacking in terms of Earth's sheer versatility. As ice is heavy, it has an easier time targeting enemies that are lower than the attack, and gain an attack bonus, which can be upgraded by +2 per Modification point spent. When used to create ice slicks or the likes, all players moving over it must pass a base Reflex Save or fall prone. Running over the ice increases the DC by 10 points automaticallty, and moving half speed allows players to ignore this DC. When used to slow down enemies, the target(s) must make a Fortitude save or cut all of their movement speeds in half, which can increase by 5ft per Modification point spent, down to 5ft of any movement. Ice Dust is colored Light Blue. * Lightning Dust. One of the few Dusts mainly used for powering the world of Remnant, Lightning Dust is also a very strong contender for Area of Effects. When used to Arc, the player may pick two targets after the initial, which increases by one target per Modification point. Every time an attack Arcs, the damage drops by half, rounded down, and it cannot arc past more targets in a single arc is dropped to 1 damage. No target may be selected twice by the Arcing side effect. When used as a Line, Lightning Dust hits all targets in a straight line, and continue onward even if the attack was stopped. And finally, if a target has a substantial amount of worn metal, or carrying a metal weapon, Lightning Dust gains a +2 to hit, and increases by +2 per Modification Point. Lightning Dust is colored Yellow. * Wind Dust. While Wind Dust lacks in some versatility, it has a very powerful benefit. When a Player with Wind Dust attacks an enemy that uses their Dexterity for Base Defense, they lose their Dexterity Modifier to the Bonus. Also, when hit by Wind Dust, the target(s) must make a Fortitude check or fall Prone. For two modification points, the attacker may change this into a Strength Check. Wind Dust is colored White. * Water Dust. Gaining the free benefit of putting out fires, and allowing Lightning Dust to deal double damage to targets that have been successfully hit by Water Dust in the past round, Water Dust prevents defending targets from adding their Constitution Modifier into their Base Defense. When hit as well, the target(s) must make a Fortitude Save or be pushed 10ft in any direction. The distance increases by 5ft per Modification point, and the attacker may turn the Fortitude save into a Strength Check for two modification points. Water Dust is colored Blue. * Earth Dust. Like Water and Wind Dust, Earth Dust has a powerful effect as well. When Earth Dust strikes a target, the target loses their Strength Modifier to their Base Defense Bonus. Highly shapable and limited by natural gravity and limits of dirt and stone, Earth Dust can be used for a lot of offensive and defensive capabilites. When used for it's ability to forcibly move targets, no matter the direction, requires either a Reflex DC if the earth under them is moved, or a Fortitude DC if they are struck directly with it. Earth Dust is colored Brown. * Gravity Dust. Raw damage and crowd control, Gravity Dust is a straight forward beast to use. Gravity Dust increases the damage of all attacks by 6 points, and increases it by 2 points per Modification point. When used for it's secondary effects of repositioning targets, a Forititude DC is needed, and a Reflex to avoid the speed reduction, cutting speed down by half, increasing it by 5ft and reducing it to a minimal of 5ft of movement speed. Gravity Dust is colored Black or Purple. * Steam Dust. A mixture of Fire and Water, Steam Dust is a very strong contender as basic Area of Effect attacks, as all attacks erupt into a burst of steam. All ranged attacks start with a base 10% to instantly miss due to the steam, and once it reaches 50%, Melee attacks have the same fail chance. While in the steam cloud, which lasts for the base 2 rounds, the damage is the base 5 damage, which cannot be avoided through a save, but can only take this damage once per round, when the target enters the steam cloud, or ends their turn in it. Wind Dust can dispurse the steam instantly. Steam Dust is colored Gray.

\page * Light Dust. Creating quick flashes of light, the base Light Dust burst is long enough to obscure the user's movement. If they attack after using Light Dust, the defender suffers the loss of their Base Defense Stat Modifier for the first 2 attacks that are made against them. If a more focused burst of light is used, the target(s) must make a Fortitude save to not be blinded. Light Dust is colored Silver. * Darkness Dust. The opposite of Light Dust, Darkness Dust can do the same things as Light Dust, though it is highly favored by Faunus for their ability to see through this darkness with ease. Darkness Dust is colored Black. * Thunder Dust. The king of being over the top, Thunder Dust is usually mixed with other dusts for Thunder Dust's unqiue ability. Whenever Thunder Dust is used to create a Cone, Line, or Dome-like Area of Affect, Thunder Dust instantly doubles the the range or damage of the attack, which must be chosen at the time of making the attack, which can be ignored to keep the original size or damage. In doing so, however, this doubles the cost of the Dust in it's entirety. When used with it's secondary effect, the player must choose as one of three secondary effects: Stun, Confusion, or Knockback. Stun and Knockback require a Fortitude DC, with the Knockback only pushing the target back. Confusion is a Will DC. Thunder Dust is colored Ash Gray. * Hard-Light Dust. Solely for defense, Hard-Light Dust increases the Player's Base Defense Bonus by +2 per Modification point used. When mixed with other Dust, it's Bonus against that element of Dust is doubled, and cut in half against all other sources. Hard-Light Dust may also be used to reduce damage by 1 point per 2 Dust used. Hard-Light Dust is colored Cyan. * Magma Dust. Like Gravity, Magma has a strong capability for damage, and like Earth and Ice, it works wonders for crowd control. When used, Magma can be used to create geysers and flumes of it. When a magma flume is made, it naturally rests on the field for two rounds. It deals half the damage dealt by the attack when someone starts their turn in it, or moves through it. Also, as long as the flume exists on terrain, it deals the secondary damage to everything within 10ft from it. And finally, when a target takes direct damage, they must make a Reflex save to avoid catching on fire, which follows Fire Dust's rules for this. When exhausted or doused in water, Magma Dust hardens into rock, and if done quickly enough upon being used, into obsidian and glass. Magma Dust is colored Bright Orange. * Plant Dust. Somewhat hard to use, Plant Dust provides the ability to make plantlife in select areas grow or wither. Plants either flourish or wither at a rate of double their size and longevity per round affected by Plant Dust, with their status maintaining after the effects of the Dust, meaning plamts caused to die will stay dead. On areas without growth, Plant Dust can also be spring up growth, creating Rough Terrain in the form of thick underbrush and such. Plant Dust can also be used to engage in ranged grapple checks, using the Player's Intelligence Modifier instead of either Strength or Dexterity to engage or maintain it. However, despite being fortified with Dust, plants altered by Plant Dust are still susceptible to extreme heat and cold, as well as fire. Plant Dust is colored Forest Green. ### Arc Volt EXP Cost 30, Battery Powered. When using Lightning Dust to modify a ranged attack, the Player gains two additional Modifier points.

\page # The Weapons of the Huntsmen and Huntresses ## Made to Order If there is one thing that all students at the Academies need, is their trust weapon. Almost all students opt to pick some sort of weapon to combat the Grimm, and the few that use their fists often suppliment it with weaponry. It is safe to say that the weapon is more of an extension of the Huntsmen or Huntress, than just a tool. To select their weapon, a player must simply pick at least two different weapons. From there, record both stats of the weapon onto the character sheet, preferably a Melee weapon and a Ranged weapon. As a number of ranged weapons do not exist, it is up to the Dungeon Master and the player to discuss what would be the best bet for their Damage, Ammo Capacity, and Range. If a player wants to start with a weapon that has more than two forms, it is up for the Dungeon Master to decide how many, and if they can obtain a new form later with Weapon Upgrade Points. Due to their status as students, players are not expected to pay for upgrades on their weapons, as well as basic maintenance and repairs. However, limiting a student's ability to repair said weapon can be done based on their current location, such as out in the field.

Credit: Unknown ## Dust and Weapons Dust is a key part to every student, no matter what kind of weapon they use. At some point, they will most likely use it. All ranged weapons require the use of Dust that has been drained of it elemental ties to shoot, shooting out the Dust itself out instead of live ammo. Even weapons like rocket launchers and other explosive weaponry, despite their metallic casing, deliver a payload of explosive Dust. All weapons start with access to one Dust vial, and can gain more as the player earns Weapon Upgrade Points. Dust vial slots are gained across all weapons. Dust's key use is ammo, and expending uses to increase the power of the melee strikes. It's other uses in and out of combat are only limited by the player's creativity, the Dungeon Master's ruling, the surrounding area, and how skilled the charatcer is at using Dust. The finer details on using Dust is explained in the Skills section. ## Creating the Weapon When starting, the Player must make their weapon from scratch. In doing so, they create a weapon that is entirely unique on their own. The Player has a total of 24 Weapon Creation Points to use while making their weapon, with the Melee and Ranged Weapon splitting the points evenly. Other factors for weapons may change the amount of weapon forms, and grant much smaller Weapon Creation Point pools for them. Weapons come in three different forms: Light, Moderate, and Heavy. This is applicable to Melee weapons. * Light: Light weapons are made with a weight reduction in mind. These are mostly daggers and knives, some axes, and some oddities like whips. Light weapons are primarily made for Dexterity Based fighters in mind, and are usually made for Two Weapon Fighting, reducing the penalty by half usually. However, Light Weapons don't allow the Player to use their Attacking Stat Modifier into their second attack per Action. The Light Weapon Form costs 1 Point to make. Light Weapons cannot have a starting Damage higher than an 8, but gain a free Point into Extended Critical Hit Range, and may take the Dual trait for free. * Moderate: Also called 'Hand and a Half', Moderate Weapons encompass a great deal of weapons, such as longswords, axes, some polearms, and clubs, Hand and a Half weapons allow the Player to leave their other hand free for various reasons, but have a grip long enough to fight with both hands, allowing the Player to fight with Strength and a Half. This weapon form costs no Creation Points to use. * Heavy: Heavy weapons are majority of the weapons that require two hands: Greatswords, a majority of polearms, greataxes, and scythes. They require two hands to fight, but can be held with one. All Heavy weapons have a penalty to them, from -2 to -6. If the Player attacks with one hand, they take the penalty into their Base Attack Bonus, Base Defense Bonus, Damage, and all Combat Maneuvers involving said weapon, such as Trip. All Heavy weapons grant Strength and a half to damage. This costs 1 Creation Point to select, start with the Weighted Weapon Trait for free, and increases the damage of the weapon by 4 points, but the first upgrade on any Extended Critical Hit Range or Critical Hit Multiplier costs 1 additional Creation Point.

\page After a weapon's type has been selected, the Player must now select their damage type: Slashing, Blunt, or Pierce damage. The type of damage determines, primarily, how it deals damage. Some Grimm have resistances to certain types of damages, while others might have weaknesses to certain types. While not usually seen outside of combat, certain weapon damages can have outside uses, such as slashing weeds or breaking down a door. With the damage type selected, the Player must then create the base Damage, Critical Hit Range, and Critical Hit Multiplier. This is applicable to both Melee and Ranged weapons. * Damage: How much a weapon hurts. Damage starts at 4, and can be increased by 2 points for 1 Weapon Creation Point. No matter the form, Damage is capped out at 12 during weapon creation. The Heavy Weapon type can increase this to 16. * Critical Hit Range: How often a weapon Critically Hits. Starting out at 20, it costs 2 Weapon Creation Points to increase it by 1. Critical Hit Range is capped at 18-20 during weapon creation. The Light Weapon type can increase this to 17-20. * Critical Hit Multiplier: How much a Critical Hit is multiplied by. This starts at x2, and can be increased by 1 for 3 Weapon Creation Points, to a max of x4 during weapon creation. After these are all handled, the final step for making a weapon is to flesh out any extra abilities it might have, allowing it to truly take form and, hopefully, shine in combat. The listed extra abilities can only be applied to Melee Weapons. * Blocking: A bonus to some form of weapons that are used for defensive purposes, such as Parry Knives, Blocking weapons add a +1 to Base Defense Bonuse while used. This costs 1 Weapon Creation Point to apply, and the bonus can be increased by +1 for an additional Point, to a maximum of +3. * Brace: Weapons with Brace are typically polearms, are weapons with a long enough reach to properly brace it against something, such as solid ground, a wall, or someone else with good footing. Brace must be declared with One Action, and in doing so, the Player gets a free attack at a +4 Base Attack Bonus and Damage to a target that is attacking them by way of Charge, Bull Rush, or ways that are through sudden, rushing motions. This can only be applied to Moderate and Heavy Weapons, and cost 2 Weapon Creation Points to apply. * Deadly: Deadly weapons, as apposed to all weapons, are only able to be Slashing weapons, with an edge even deadlier than normal. When a Player attacks a Grimm who is able to be killed by the Deadly Weapon's next attack, the Player with said weapon ignores up to 6 points of AC from the target Grimm, however this number cannot be brought down past 2 AC. This can be applied for 2 Weapon Creation Points. * Disarming: Disarming weapons a select group that excel in disarming opponents, such as whips, chained weapons, flails, and some axes. A Player may attempt a Disarm Attempt, and while they have a Disarming Weapon, they recieve a +2 their Base Attack Bonus. Also, if a Player with a Disarming Weapon is the target of a Disarm attempt, they recieve the +2 to their Base Defense Bonus as well for the attempt. This can only be applied to Light or Moderate Weapons, and costs 1 Weapon Creation Point to apply. * Double: Double weapons are things such as various staves, some types of polearms, and doubled headed weapons such as axes or even swallow blade swords. With a weapon on both end, the Player may attack as if they are fighting with Two Weapons in one Action, suffering the same penalties as Two Weapon Fighting, too. Players have the option not to fight with the Double property. The Double Property can only be placed on Light or Moderate Weapons, and cost 2 Weapon Creation Points to apply. * Dual: Dual weapons are weapons that come in a pair. While this doesn't mean the two weapons need to be exactly the same, such as two daggers, they still must be of the same size and style. Dual weapons are two handed version of Double quality weapons. Dual and Double cannot be applied to the same weapon, and can be applied to Light or Moderate Weapons for 1 Creation Point. When selecting Dual, the second weapon is a copy of the one being made, but certain traits can be replaced as long as the Weapon Creation Points are spend on the same equivalent extras. * Extra Form: The Player's Melee Weapon has a secondary Melee form. Costing 4 Weapon Creation Points, the Player may make another Weapon of equal size, or two weapons of one size smaller. The Extra Form weapon gains 5 Weapon Creation Points to use and create the new weapon, which cannot be spent on the Extra Form Quality. * Extra Head: The Player's Melee weapon gains an additional 'weapon head', ranging from a spike on the opposite end of a hammer, a blade on a spear to form a halberd, or a heavy ball on the end of a polearm to make a heavy club. Costing 2 Weapon Creation Points, the Player selects another type of damage that is not present on the weapon, and adds it to the list. The weapon gains 4 Weapon Creation Points to upgrade the new weapon, which must be upgraded individually from the other weapons. This may be selected twice. * Modular: A Modular weapon combines two weapons, or a weapon and shield, into a new one. Costing 2 Weapon Creation Points, the weapons or weapon and shield combine into a new weapon. This increases the weapon size when in use: Two Dual Light weapons become a Moderate, a Light and a Shield become a Moderate, a Moderate and a Shield become a Heavy. The Modular weapon uses the full Damage of one weapon, and half of the other, combined into one, the Critical Hit Range of the first weapon and Critical Hit Multiplier of the second. Activating the Modular ability requires 1 Action to switch between forms, and requires both weapons on the Player's person to activate.

\page * Momentum: Momentum weapons are weapons that can be classed through the ability to work with the attacker's motions to gain more speed and force. Certain heavy weapons such as polearms, certain regular weapons such as hammers, and other weapons like whips, chains, and flails, can have this property. When attacking, if the Player hits their intended target, they recieve a +1 to their Base Attack Bonus on their following attack. This stacks with each successful hit, but vanishes once an attack is blocked, or they stop attacking. This bonus even increases during attacks that are not part of the Player's turn, or through special Attacks such as the Axe Kick Feat. This can be applied for 2 Weapon Creation Points. * Performance: Rare for many, many weapons, the realm of Huntsmen and Huntresses weapons mean there are no limits to what the weapon can be. While many of these weapons are directly musical in nature, such as a dust infused trumpet, others could range from a rigid, hollow club that beats like a drum when it hits something, or a spear with holes carved that whistle when swung. When used, Performance weapons grant a +4 bonus to the Performance skill that applies, such as Percussion or Woodwind. This can be applied for 1 Weapon Creation Point. * Reach: Reach weaponry are weapons that strike an additional 5ft away, giving them a total of 10ft range. These weapons are usually Polearms, such as Spears, Lances, Halberds and the likes, while weapons like Whips and Chains might have an additional 10 or 15ft of reach to their attacks. If the Player using a Reach weapon that only has a 10ft total range, such as a Halberd, they may choke up on the shaft of the weapon, and in doing so may fight with as if they had the Double weapon property with the butt end of the weapon, dealing half of the weapon's Damage. This costs 1 Weapon Creation Point to increase the weapon's range to 10ft, and an additinal Point to increase it to 15ft. However, the second increase to 15ft can only be applied to a Light Weapon. * Removed Form: This Quality removes the weapon's Melee form, effectively giving the Ranged Weapon two different Ranged forms. When selecting this, the Player builds their second Ranged form using the points of their Melee form, following the same rules as Ranged Weapon creation. The two weapons must be of the same type, unless made with the Dual Ranged Quality, where they may be two weapons of the next size down. * Sole Form: The weapon only has a single form. When selecting this, the Player gains the total amount of Weapon Creation Points for their one weapon, though must still follow the limits set in place for each upgrade. Sole Form cannot be combined with Dual, Modular, or Removed Form. * Sundering: Sundering weapons are mainly blunt weapons, or those with heavy and/or jagged edges. A Player may attempt a Break Attempt, and while they have a Sundering Weapon, they recieve a +2 their Base Attack Bonus. Also, if a Player with a Sundering Weapon is the target of a Break attempt, they recieve the +2 to their Base Defense Bonus as well for the attempt. Sundering Weapons gain their bonus to the Player's Base Attack Bonus when attacking Grimm, overcoming parts of their Armor. This can be applied for 1 Weapon Creation Point. * Tripping: Tripping weapons are a somewhat varied group, usually posessing hooks and curved egdes such as scythes, halberds, and sickles. A Player may attempt a Trip Attempt, and while they have a Tripping Weapon, they recieve a +2 their Base Attack Bonus. Also, if a Player with a Tripping Weapon is the target of a Trip attempt, they recieve the +2 to their Base Defense Bonus as well for the attempt. This can be applied for 1 Weapon Creation Point. * Thrown: Thrown weapons are anything light enough, or a weapon made for throwing, such as Knives, Handaxes, Javelins, and Hammers. These weapons do not take penalties when throwing them as a weapon, but only have a short range, 20ft base range. When selected, the Player gains a total of 10 of the weapons to throw. This can only be applied to Light Weapons, and cost 1 Weapon Creation Point to apply. For an additional Weapon Creation Point, the Player may increase the count of their Thrown Weapons by +5. This can be upgraded 3 total times, for 25 total Thrown Weapons. * Utility: Utility Weapons are a group that can be used for seperate uses. For example, a Whip could be used as a Grappling Hook, a sturdy polearm could be used as a wedge to lift heavy objects, hammers and picks as...hammer and pickaxes, and so on. Weapons of this feature should be discussed with the Dungeon Master, and the list should be extended as to what can logically and safely be used as a tool and weapon without needed a new form. The bonuses applied by the Utility quality start at a +4 for the intended use. This can be applied for 1 Weapon Creation Point. * Weighted: Weighted weapons are majority of the weapons that require two hands: Greatswords, a majority of polearms, greataxes, and scythes. They require two hands to fight, but can be held with one. All Weighted weapons have a penalty to them, starting at Weighted 2. If the Player attacks with one hand, they take the penalty into their Base Attack Bonus, Base Defense Bonus, Damage, and all Special Maneuvers involving said weapon, such as Trip. In addition, if a person using the Weighted Weapon does not have an appropriate Attacking Stat modifier equal to or greater than the Heavy rating, they cannot use the weapon. All Weighted weapons grant Strength and a half to damage. This can only be applied to Heavy weapons. Weighted can be upgraded by +1 for 1 Weapon Creation Point.

\page ## Shield Weaponry At the cost of selected Weapon Creation Points, the Player can create one of four different Shields for use. When creating a shield, they all share a Critical Hit Range of 20, and a Critical Hit Multiplier of x2. * Bucklers/Tagres only provide a +1 to BDB. They deal 2 Damage, and cost 2 Weapon Creation Points to use. Bucklers allow the Player to keep their hand free and use it for whatever purpose needed. However, the Buckler can get in the way, and all actions with said said suffer a -1. * Light Shields/Kite Shields provide a +2 to BDB. They deal 4 Damage, and cost 3 Weapon Creation Points to use. * Heavy Shields/Rodaches provide a +3 to BDB. They deal 6 Damage, and cost 4 Weapon Creation Points to use. * Tower Shields/Pavises provide a +4 to BDB, as well as granting cover to ranged attacks, but require a player to be a Constitution based Defense fighter. They deal 10 Damage, and cost 6 Weapon Creation Points to use. Like weapons, Shields can be upgraded using the upgrade rules for Weapons. However, Shields also gain their own unique upgrade: For Two Weapon points, a Shield's Base Defense Bonus Boost increases by 1. All non-Buckler shields occupy the player's hand, preventing them from carrying anything in it. Also, while Shields of all kinds can be used to attack, doing so removes the Base Defense Bonus of the Shield until the start of their next turn. This penalty can be removed by selecting the Shield Focus Feat and Shield Bash Expertise Feat. ## Unarmed Weapons Most of the time, it is preferred to fight with a weapon, but mastering the use of unarmed combat can be just as, and possibly more useful than a weapon. Unarmed weapons start with the same starting weapon stats as all other weapons, however they must be Light Weapons. While called Unarmed, Unarmed weapons are all forms of fighting without a weapon, from Boxing to Tai Chi and everything in between, meaning a Player who uses Unarmed Weapons will deal as much damage with a kick, knee, elbow, or even headbutt as they do with a punch. Their Unarmed damage is increased in the same way as weapons, and a safe assuption is that the Student(s) fighting with Unarmed strikes has some sort of minor padding that is upgraded over time. Also, for players with a weapon, their Unarmed damage is 1 + their Attacking Mod. This number can only be upgraded through story progression rewards, if a player specifies them training to do so. A number of feats rely on having an 'Unarmed/Fist Weapon'. While this techincally allows all players to take them, a restriction is placed on the feats. If a Player who does not start with an Unarmed weapon wishes to buy a feat that has 'Unarmed/Fist Weapon' in the requirement tag, the player must have upgraded their base Unarmed Damage up to 4 base damage before they may select feats. ``` ``` ## Ranged Weapons The other core aspect of a weapon, the ranged weapon allows the Player to attack at a far range. Building the ranged weapon follows the same process as a melee weapon. First, the Player must select a type, between Compact, Moderate, Gunnery, or Archery. * Compact: The firearm equivalent to Light, Compact ranged weapons are mostly small firearms such as pistols and machine pistols. Primarily made for dual weapon fighting, Compact weapons offer the same benefits to Two Weapon Fighting as Light weapons. This costs 1 Weapon Creation Point to select, and can only be added to Light or Moderate Weapons. If the Melee Weapon in question is Moderate, the Firearm gains the Dual Quality for free. Compact Firearms cannot start with a Damage higher than an 8. * Moderate: The firearm equivalent to Moderate, these weapons are some of the more common types, compiling many rifles, shotguns, and other easily carried, two handed firearms. This form costs no Weapon Creation Points to make, and can take the form from any of the three melee weapon types, but only Light Weapons if they have the Dual Quality. * Gunnery: The firearm equivelent to Heavy, Gunnery weapons comprise of heavy weapons, such as machine guns, grenade launchers, and sniper rifles. Costing 1 Weapon Creation Point to make, Gunnery Weapons can only be from Moderate or Heavy Melee Weapons. * Archery: Holding bow and crossbows in it's typing, Archery weapons have no melee counterpart. The biggest benefit over their firearm counterparts is that they are completely silent, and their arrows/bolts can be used as improvised melee weapons. Archery Weapons cost 1 Weapon Creation Point to select, and can be applied to any Melee weapon type, but only Light weapons if they have the Dual Quality.

\page Following the weapon type, the Player then follows the same process of applying the weapon's Damage, Critical Hit Range, and Critical Hit Multiplier as a Melee Weapon's. All Ranged Weapons, however, start at a x3 Critical Hit Multiplier, and cannot surpass x4 as normal at Weapon Creation. Ranged weapons also have a few other upgrades that only they can apply: * Range: All Firearms have a range. After the applied range is given from Dungeon Master and Player discussion, the range can be upraded by 5ft for 2 Weapon Creation Points. This cannot be purhcased more than three times. * Ammo: The amount of ammo a single reload can hold, be in clips, magazines, belts, shells, or quiver size. Once the applied ammo count is given from Dungeon Master and Player discussion, the ammo count can be increased by the Burst Fire Value, if applicable. If the weapon does not have a Burst Fire value, it cannot select this upgrade. This costs 2 Weapon Creation Points to use, and can only be selected twice. * Specialty Reloads: The amount of speciality ammo a Player can carry on their person during missions and combat. Starting at 3, the Player can upgrade this amount by 1 for every Weapon Creation Point spent. This upgrade can only be selected three times. With the upgrades all selected and finished, the Player has the chance to add extra upgrades to the Ranged Weapon, as if a Melee Weapon. * Bayonet: A small, undermounted weapon for a Ranged weapon. Costing two Weapon Creation Points to select, the Bayonet gains 5 Weapon Creation Points to create a Light only Melee Weapon, but it can be of any damage type, despite the name 'bayonet'. While this cannot be combined with any other underbarrel weapon, it can be removed and exchanged with other underbarrel weapons at any time for 1 Action. * Burst Fire: Being able to be applied to any ranged Firearm, this allows the Player to use the Burst Fire Optional Firing style. This costs 1 Weapon Creation Point to apply. * Automatic Fire: The Automatic Fire style must be applied to a weapon that has the Burst Fire Value, allowing the Automatic Fire style. This costs 1 Weapon Creation Point to apply. * Composite: Only able to be applied to Archery weapons, Composite is the Ranged equivalent to Heavy. Starting at Composite 2, Composite follows the same rules as Weighted for application, upgrading, and effects. Composite costs 1 Weapon Creation Point to apply. * Dual: Dual weapons are weapons that come in a pair. While this doesn't mean the two weapons need to be exactly the same, such as two daggers, they still must be of the same size and style. Dual weapons are two handed version of Double quality weapons. Dual can only be applied to Compact Weapons for 1 Creation Point. When selecting Dual, the second weapon is a copy of the one being made, but certain traits can be replaced as long as the Weapon Creation Points are spend on the same equivalent extras. * Launcher: Equippable on Moderate weapons only, the Launcher is an underbarrel weapon, holding 1 explosive. Costing 3 Weapon Creation Points to select, the Player is given 4 Weapon Creation Points to build the Launcher. The Launcher is unable to take the Ammo Capaciity Upgrade. While this cannot be combined with any other underbarrel weapon, it can be removed and exchanged with other underbarrel weapons at any time for 1 Action. The Smoothbore Barrel option is a valid upgrade for the Launcher. * Masterkey: Equippable on Moderate weapons only, the Masterkey is an underbarrel shotgun, holding a total of 4 shells, 3 in reload and 1 in the chamber. The Player is given 4 Weapon Creation Points for the creation of this weapon, and costs 3 Weapon Creation Points to apply. The ammo capacity of the Masterkey cannot be increased. While this cannot be combined with any other underbarrel weapon, it can be removed and exchanged with other underbarrel weapons at any time for 1 Action. The Set Trigger is a valid upgrade for the Masterkey. * Modular: A Modular weapon combines two weapons, or a weapon and shield, into a new one. Costing 2 Weapon Creation Points, the weapons or weapon and shield combine into a new weapon. This increases the weapon size when in use: Two Dual Compact weapons become a Moderate, a Compact and a Shield become a Moderate, a Moderate and a Shield become a Gunnery. The Modular weapon uses the full Damage of one weapon, and half of the other, combined into one, the Critical Hit Range of the first weapon and Critical Hit Multiplier of the second. Activating the Modular ability requires 1 Action to switch between forms, and requires both weapons on the Player's person to activate. * Removed Form: This Quality removes the weapon's Ranged form, effectively giving the Melee Weapon two different Melee forms. When selecting this, the Player builds their second Melee form using the points of their Ranged form, following the same rules as Melee Weapon creation. The two weapons must be of the same type, unless made with the Dual Melee Quality, where they may be two weapons of the next size down.

\page * Set Trigger: The Player's firearm has a Set Trigger, an optional firing mechanism that allows the trigger to be pulled much easier. At the cost of 2 Actions per Ranged Attack, the Player adds a +4 to their Base Attack Bonus while attacking. A Weapon with a Set Trigger does not force a player to attack with the Set Trigger. This can only be applied to Compact or Moderate Weapons, and costs 2 Weapon Creation Points to apply. * Silencer: Able to be put on any firearm, Silencers reduce the range of weapons by 10ft, but reduce the audible sound they make. While not completely muffled, all Perception checks to hear the weapon being fired increases by +10. A Silencer costs 1 Weapon Creation Point, and can be removed or attached at the cost of 1 Action. * Smoothbore Barrel: The Player may alternate the barrel of their firearm, changing between a Rifled barrel or a Smoothbore barrel. A Rifled barrel acts as the basic barrel for their firearm, but a Smoothbore barrel increases the range of the projectile by an additional 20ft. However, the attacks takes a -3 to Hit while using a Smoothbore barrel. The Player may only change barrel types when they have access to the proper tools and the other barrel. This can only be applied to Gunnery Weapons, and for 2 Weapon Creation Points. * Sole Form: The weapon only has a single form. When selecting this, the Player gains the total amount of Weapon Creation Points for their one weapon, though must still follow the limits set in place for each upgrade. Sole Form cannot be combined with Dual, Modular, or Removed Form. ## Improving Weapons As the players grow, so must their weapons. At certain parts in the story, usually major plot points, players are rewarded a number of Weapon Upgrade Points to...upgrade their weapons! However, the Weapon Upgrade Points may only be used for one weapon. For example, if a player's weapon is a Longsword/Rifle, when they spend points to upgrade their Longsword's Damage, their Rifle's stats stay completely the same. * One Upgrade Point increases a weapon's damage by 2 points. If done using the 'Roll for Damage' mode, increase the damage die once size, following the rules for icreimental dice. * One Upgrade Point to increase the size of a single Dust Cartridge. * Two Upgrade Points increases the weapon's Critical Hit Multiplier by 1. This can only be bought three times per weapon. * Two Upgrade Points adds one extra Dust Slot to a weapon. A Weapon may have a maximum of 6 Dust Slots. * Two Upgrade Points increases the numerical bonus of either Blocking, Brace, Deadly, Disarming, Momentum, Performance, Sundering, Tripping, Utility, or Weighted Qualities of Melee Weapons by 1. Each individual Quality may be upgraded a total of 4 times. * Two Upgrade Points allows a ranged weapon to increase their ammo capacity by 50 percent of their original value. For example, a weapon with 10 bullets gains 5, becoming 15. On the next upgrade, they only gain 5 more, at 10 is the original value, making a total of 20. This can only be bought twice per ranged weapon. * Three Upgrade Points increases the weapon's Critical Hit Range by 1. A Weapon may only have it's Critical Hit Range increased three times. ## Ammo and Changing Forms As is with almost every weapon in the world of RWBY, it transforms. However, early on, Players should be informed that changing forms costs a single Action. Reloading is the same, costing a single Action, and provoking an Attack of Opportunity. Counting ammo shouldn't be enforced, only on Dust Ammo. All players are given 'infinite' basic ammo, but should limited to carrying a specific amount of reloads of special ammo each into combat per ranged weapon. For example, a Dungeon Master could make it so all players can only carry a total of 15 reloads between various ammo types, or another could make it so that they can bring in as much extra ammo as they want, but only 3 reloads of special types. Many firearms have different modes of firing, mainly Single Shot, a 'Burst Fire' of some sort, and Full Auto. To emulate these features, different firing types change how firearms work, but don't affect damage. Single shot is simple, and is only a single bullet fired at a target. The Burst fire option takes a number of bullets that would be able to empty the entire clip/magazine without an odd number of rounds left. For example, a firearm with 50 bullets would have a Birst Fire option of 5 bullets. When using Burst Fire, the player may reroll their Ranged Attack once, but recieve a penalty equal to the number of bullets fired. Fully Automatic/Full Auto firearms can have their attacks 'walked' down a pattern that has at least one end or corner connecting per area they wish to attack. Every target is attacked by the same attack roll, and each square costs ammo in the same way as the Burst Fire example. Due to the nature of Full Auto attacks, percision aiming cannot be done.

\page ## Creating Ammo As stated a few times, players have the option to make special types of ammo. Ranging from purely Dust Infused bullets and arrowheads, to special Grimm tearing Hollow Point and Carapace Piercing bullets, the players are also free to think of speical types. Initially, when a player wishes to make Dust Ammo, they must be in a location that allows them to make the ammo properly, such as their Academy or a gun store in a city. At the start, the player must have enough Dust to start. They first make a Dust Use Check of DC 15, following the rules of Dust Combat. After the roll, they check to see how many Modifier Points they would have gotten. Any feats that increase the amount of Modification Points for certain dust types, such as Fire Starter, are automatically added to the final result. It costs 50 Dust per Check to make any kind of Ammo. From there, they are allowed to modify a Dust Use as normal. After they are satisfied, they next make a Craft (Weapon), Craft (Ammo), or any applicable Crafting Check based on Dungeon Master Fiat, DC 15 as well. On a success, the Player creates one full reload for the Player's firearm, and an additional reload per 5 points they beat the DC. For arrows and crossbow bolts, they create 15 of either on a success, and follow the same rules. Once created, Dust Ammo stays stable until used, and once used, the ammo uses the Dust Check result. Aside from Dust based rounds, Players should also be driven to make more ballistic based bullets for various weapons. All ammo types take the same Craft (Weapon) or Craft (Ammo) DC of 15, creating another full reload of ammo for every 5 points the Player beats the DC. Below is a list of ammo types. * Hollow Point: Hollow Point rounds are made for more fleshy Grimm. When attacking a Grimm with an AC of 6 or less, the firearm deals their base damage before any additional modifiers. However, if attacking a Grimm with 7 AC or more, the Firearm deals half damage and cannot deal Critical Damage. * Armor Piercing: Armor Piercing Rounds, or AP Rounds, are made to pierce through the bones of Grimm. When attacking a Grimm with an AC of 8 or more, the Firearm removes 1 point of AC from the Grimm permanently. AP Rounds deals half damage, no matter what. * Tracer Rounds: Meant for improving one's accuracy, Tracer Rounds glow when fired. When a Player attacks with a Tracer Round, their next Ranged Attack gains a +3 to hit with it. While this bonus does not stack, if a Player attacks with another Tracer Round after shooting a Tracer Round, they keep their +3 bonus to hit. Tracer Rounds deal Half damage. Also, a Player may roll a DC 20 Perception check after an ally using Tracer Rounds attacks, getting a +1 to attacking with their own Ranged Weapon on their first ranged attack a round. These hitting bonuses only apply to a single target, and vanish if a target with with Tracer Rounds flees or is killed. Due to the bright light of the Tracer Round, the Player attacking with Tracver Rounds gain a -5 to all Stealth rolls until the start of their next turn, and all allies of the attacker within 10ft suffer a -2 to Stealth. * Spotting Rounds: A Tracer Round, but bigger. When used, a Spotting Round explodes in a very small area around the target, dealing 6 extra damage to the target and to all targets adjacent to the struck target. Spotting Rounds can be made with any kind of Dust in mind. Similar to Tracer Rounds, Spotting Rounds impose a penalty to Stealth as well, however due to the much brighter lights, the penalties for Attacker and Allies are increased to -10 and -5 respectively. * High Velocity Rounds: Mainly meant for smaller targets, such as rodent, vermin, and small game like rabbits, HV Rounds are exceptionally fast, but weak. When attacking with an HV Round, the Player gains a +4 to hit, but the ranged weapon's base damage is cut in half, in addition to counting the ability to pierce a Grimm's Armor Class as 2 points less on the die reveal. For example, Jett's Pistol deals 10 damage normally. Using High Velocity rounds makes the Pistol's damage deal 5 damage, and when attacking, Jett's roll of a 12 is counted as a 10 for all purposes of piercing a Grimm's Armor Class. However, when making HV Rounds, the Player makes double the amount for the same cost. High Velocity Rounds can only be made for Pistols and Rifles. * Breaching Shell: A Shotgun only shell, this slug is meant to break through hinges and locks. When using a Breaching Shell to destroy an object, it deals triple it's damage to any inatomate object such as a lock or deadbolt, but cannot deal damage to anything outside 5ft. * Slug: Slugs are mainly shells used for Shotguns, Slugs deal their damage to a single target, removing the Spread from the normal shells and instead making the Shotgun's range a single line, and increasing the shotgun's range by 20ft, dealing full damage to the Target in question, and only that Target. * Dragon's Breath: A highly unconventional, if not unique and deadly shotgun shell. When making Dragon's Breath Shells, both a Dust Use Craft and a Craft (Weapon) or Craft (Ammo) is required. When finished, Dragon's Breath shells can be any Dust element, dealing double the Shotgun's damage in a 100ft cone. However, Dragon's Breath Shells can only be used once per Round safely by the attacker due to the extreme Dust energy being unleashed from the shotgun, and can cause the weapon to break. If a player wishes to fire more than one per round, they must roll a d100 after every extra attack. If their d100 is lower than the damage of the weapon, the weapon breaks. For every extra attack, the damage compounds into the d100 roll. Example: Suave Empyreon shoots his Ice Dragon Breath round three times. The first attack does not provoke the d100 roll. On his second attack, his damage is 24 after the Double Damage and rolls a 65, keeping his weapon safe. On his third attack, his d100 roll must be higher than 48. The weapon cools off at a rate of 25 'heat' per round when not fired.

\page * Piranha Round: A rather large shotgun shell, a Piranha Round is filled with spikes, mostly Caltrops. These Shells deals half damage to any target it hits, but scatters Caltrops on the ground of the target it hits, plus 5ft in each direction around the initial space. These caltrops deal 4 damage when stepped on, requiring a DC 15 Reflex Check to avoid doing so while stepping in a space. The caltrops prevent running over them, and if someone runs over them, the target in question takes 8 damage instead of 4 and does not roll the Reflex Check to avoid it. A use of Wind, Water or Earth Dust removes the Caltrops, and if Piranha Rounds are used over a space with Ice Dust slicks, the Caltrops spread out to 10ft arond the initial target, but damage is cut in half for both uses. * Bean Bag Round: A shotgun shell again, or better yet another variant of the Slug, Bean Bag rounds are mostly worthless against Grimm, however are made for Human and Faunus control. Bean Bag Rounds are treated as Slugs, however they deal half the damage to their intended Target, or no damage to Grimm with more than 5 AC. When a Bean Bag Round hits a Human or Faunus Target, the Target must make a Fortitude Save of DC 20 or fall Prone from the Bean Bag hitting them. This DC increases by 2 for every Successful Save the Target makes. Bean Bag rounds may also be used to Disarm Targets or to Trip them, due to their specialized round. If a Target rolls a 1 on their Fortitude Save, they fall Prone and are Nauseousd for 2 rounds from the Bean Bag hitting them. * Pin Point Arrow/Bolt: A small arrowhead made for deep penetration. If used to attack a Grimm with a total of 6 or more Armor Class, the attacker counts the Grimm's armor as 3 points lower, to a minimum of 2 total. Pin Point arrowheads deal 2 less damage when used. * Bludgeon Arrow/Bolt: Arrowheads with flat, blunt tips. While using them, the Player cannot deal any lethal damage to their Target, however on a successful Critical Hit, the Target must roll a Fortitude DC of 5 + Weapon's Damage, or suffer the Dazed Condition for 1 Round. These arrowheads are mostly ineffective against Grimm, as the Grimm are immune to the effects of nonlethal damage. * Judo Point Arrow/Bolt: Special arrows with a spring loaded claw. When the arrow hits the Target, the claw springs open. The arrow then sticks to the Target and stays lodged in. While Aura prevents clothes from getting caught, Judo Arrows can be used to make certain Grapple or pinning checks against certain Grimm, or objects, be they unattended or held. If an object is held, the holder must make an opposed Grapple Check, beating the roll of the Attacker. A failure means the arrow snatches said item and pulls it from their person if it is not secured in place. * Mechanical Arrow/Bolt: Larger, broadhead arrows that hold the head in a compressed form. When fired, the arrowblade opens. Thanks to the weight of the arrow, they suffer a -3 to hit, but a +3 to damage. If the Mechanical arrowhead is used to attack a Grimm with 20 Dexterity or more, the damage is increased by an additional 3. * Cut-on-Contact Arrow/Bolt: Wide, triangular arrowheads, Cut-on-Contact arrowheads deal their damage as Slashing. In addition, Cut-on-Contact arrowheads deal an additional +3 damage to their Target with a -3 to hit. However, if the Cut-on-Contact arrow is used on a Grimm with 20 Strength or more, the damage is increased by an additional 3. * Chisel Arrow/Bolt: Wider arrowheads with an X shaped blade marking on the head, Chisel arrows round out the trio of Mechanical and Cut-on-Contact. Chisel arrowheads suffer a -3 to hit, but deal +3 to damage. In addition, when attacking a Grimm with 20 Constitution or more, the damage is increased by an additional 3. * High Explosive Grenade/Shell: Meant for grenade throwers/launcher, High Explosive Shells deals double damage to all targets in the radius, and the damaging area is doubled. However, due to the bigger shell needed to carry the extra weight, the range of the attack is decreased by 10ft. * Anti-Carapace Grenade/Shell: Specialty explosive shells used for anti-Grimm operations, Anti-Carapace Shells deal half the damage to the targets in range, but ignore the total Armor Class of the Grimm in said range. * Stun Grenade/Shell: Dealing no damage, Stun Grenades/Shells are good for both anti-Grimm and anti-personel combat. When attacked with a Stun Grenade/Shell, the Target(s) must make a Fortitude Save DC 21. If they succeed the save, they are Dazzled. If they fail the save, they are instead Dazed for a single round. If they fail the save by 10 points or more, they are instead Stunned for a single round. When making Stun Grenade/Shells, the Player can increase the Craft (Ammo) DC by 5 points, to a base start of DC 20, to increase the DC of the Fortitude Save by +5. * Sting Grenade/Shell: Speciality ammo for explosive ordinance weaponry, Sting Grenade/Shells only deal half damage, as they are filled with hundreds of tiny, rubber balls instead of an explosive. When hit by a Sting Grenade/Shell, the Target must make a DC 21 Reflex Save or suffer a Cheap Shot, Disarm, or Trip special Action, rolling a d3 to determine which one, a one is a Cheap Shot, a two is Disarm, and a three is a Trip. When making Sting Grenade/Shells, the Player can increase the Craft (Ammo) DC by 5 points, to a base start DC of 20, to increase the DC of the Reflex Save by +5. * Smoke Grenade/Shell: Dealing no damage, Smoke Grenade/Shells fill the area with thick smoke, blocking vision into and out of the cloud. The cloud lasts for 3 rounds, and can be blown away by strong winds. When crafting Smoke Grenade/Shells, the Player can increase the Craft (Ammo) DC by 5 points to also make the smoke block the Scent ability of Faunus from working in the smoke cloud and from detecting in the smoke cloud. The smoke can be colored with any variety of single colors.

\page # The Weapons of the Huntsmen and Huntresses ## Made to Order If there is one thing that all students at the Academies need, is their trust weapon. Almost all students opt to pick some sort of weapon to combat the Grimm, and the few that use their fists often suppliment it with weaponry. It is safe to say that the weapon is more of an extension of the Huntsmen or Huntress, than just a tool. When creating a weapon, all weapons are to follow their counterpart on the [PathfinderSRD.](https://www.d20pfsrd.com/) For example, all Longswords used in this system deal 8 Damage, and have a Critical Hit range of 19-20, with a Multiplier of x2. All weapons deal the total, combined damage of their dice, and then are maxed out. For example, Scythes deal 2d4 damage, but for the system, they deal 8 damage. This is done for ease of combat, letting players add their Weapon Damage and respective damage modifier to allow players to give out their damage with greater ease as they hit. For a more authentic Tabletop experience, the Dungeon Master may opt out of the book ruling, and instead make players roll their damage. To select their weapon, a player must simply pick at least two different weapons. From there, record both stats of the weapon onto the character sheet, preferably a Melee weapon and a Ranged weapon. As a number of ranged weapons do not exist, it is up to the Dungeon Master and the player to discuss what would be the best bet for their Damage, Ammo Capacity, and Range. If a player wants to start with a weapon that has more than two forms, it is up for the Dungeon Master to decide how many, and if they can obtain a new form later with Weapon Upgrade Points. Due to their status as students, players are not expected to pay for upgrades on their weapons, as well as basic maintenance and repairs. However, limiting a student's ability to repair said weapon can be done based on their current location, such as out in the field. ## Improving Weapons As the players grow, so must their weapons. At certain parts in the story, usually major plot points, players are rewarded a number of Weapon Upgrade Points to...upgrade their weapons! However, the Weapon Upgrade Points may only be used for one weapon. For example, if a player's weapon is a Longsword/Rifle, when they spend points to upgrade their Longsword's Damage, their Rifle's stats stay completely the same. * One Upgrade Point increases a weapon's damage by 2 points. If done using the 'Roll for Damage' mode, increase the damage die once size, following the rules for icreimental dice. * One Upgrade Point to increase the size of a single Dust Cartridge. * Two Upgrade Points increases the weapon's Critical Hit Multiplier by 1. This can only be bought three times per weapon. * Two Upgrade Points adds one extra Dust Slot to a weapon. A Weapon may have a maximum of 6 Dust Slots. * Two Upgrade Points increases the numerical bonus of either Blocking, Brace, Disarming, Momentum, Performance, Sundering, Tripping, or Utility Qualities by 1. * Two Upgrade Points allows a ranged weapon to increase their ammo capacity by 50 percent of their original value. For example, a weapon with 10 bullets gains 5, becoming 15. On the next upgrade, they only gain 5 more, at 10 is the original value, making a total of 20. This can only be bought twice per ranged weapon. * Three Upgrade Points increases the weapon's Critical Hit Range by 1. A Weapon may only have it's Critical Hit Range increased three times.

Credit: Unknown ## Dust and Weapons Dust is a key part to every student, no matter what kind of weapon they use. At some point, they will most likely use it. All ranged weapons require the use of Dust that has been drained of it elemental ties to shoot, shooting out the Dust itself out instead of live ammo. Even weapons like rocket launchers and other explosive weaponry, despite their metallic casing, deliver a payload of explosive Dust. All weapons start with access to one Dust vial, and can gain more as the player earns Weapon Upgrade Points. Dust vial slots are gained across all weapons. Dust's key use is ammo, and expending uses to increase the power of the melee strikes. It's other uses in and out of combat are only limited by the player's creativity, the Dungeon Master's ruling, the surrounding area, and how skilled the charatcer is at using Dust. The finer details on using Dust is explained in the Skills section.

\page ## Unarmed Weapons Most of the time, it is preferred to fight with a weapon, but mastering the use of unarmed combat can be just as, and possibly more useful than a weapon. Starting unarmed damage is 6, with a Critical Hit Range of 20, and Critical Hit Multiplier of x2, and have the Double and Light weapon traits. Their Unarmed damage is increased in the same way as weapons, and a safe assuption is that the Student(s) fighting with Unarmed strikes has some sort of minor padding that is upgraded over time. Also, for players with a weapon, their Unarmed damage is 1 + their Attacking Mod. This number can only be upgraded through story progression rewards, if a player specifies them training to do so. A number of feats rely on having an 'Unarmed/Fist Weapon'. While this techincally allows all players to take them, a restriction is placed on the feats. If a Player who does not start with an Unarmed weapon wishes to buy a feat that has 'Unarmed/Fist Weapon' in the requirement tag, the player must have upgraded their base Unarmed Damage up to 6 base damage before they may select feats. ## Shield Weaponry If a player wants, one weapon might be a Shield. In doing so, Shields automatically provide a Base Defense Bonus boost, but then run the risk of forcing players into either Dexterity or Constitution for their Base Defense Bonus. Shields can have the added benefit of allowing players to become a 'Switch Hitter', when a player can alternate between a Sword and Board style of combat, and then two a Two-Handed Weapon type, or possibly a Two-Weapon Fighting type. When picking a shield, the type of shield determines the Base Defense Bonus boost, as well as how much damage they do, and all have a Critical Hit Range of 20, and a Critical Hit Multiplier of x2: * Bucklers/Tagres only provide a +1 to BDB. They deal 2 Damage. * Light Shields/Kite Shields provide a +2 to BDB. They deal 4 Damage. * Heavy Shields/Rondaches provide a +3 to BDB. They deal 6 Damage. * Tower Shields/Pavises provide a +4 to BDB, as well as granting cover to ranged attacks, but require a player to be a Constitution based Defense fighter. They deal 10 Damage. Like weapons, Shields can be upgraded using the above rules for Weapons. However, Shields also gain their own unique upgrade: For Two Weapon points, a Shield's Base Defense Bonus Boost increases by 1. However, there are a few negative aspects of a shield. Aside from a Buckler, all other shields occupy the player's hand, preventing them from carrying anything in it. Also, while Shields of all kinds can be used to attack, doing so removes the Base Defense Bonus of the Shield until the start of their next turn. This penalty can be removed by selecting the Shield Focus Feat and Shield Bash Expertise Feat. ``` ``` ## Thrown Weapons While somewhat unconventional for Huntsmen and Huntresses, very few do opt for thrown weaponry. With a mulititude of light weapons, namely daggers, throwing axes, small spears, and the likes, Players who use Thrown weapons are usually adept in a mix of melee and mid range, allowing them to deal a large amount of damage. The biggest risk, however, is running out of weapons to throw. When using Thrown weaponry, Dungeon Masters are to allow the player to hold a very large reserve of their weapons, and upgrade points only upgrade a small batch at a time, anywhere from three to ten, based on the weapon at the Dungeon Master's discression. ## Archery Weapons As with other weapons, Archery based weapons are relatively common. Bows and Crossbows of all kinds are a thing that Huntsmen and Huntresses can use, and should be allowed to as well. Following the same logic as the firearm based weapons, arrows and bolts should be given an 'infinite' quantity, and specialty arrows and bolts should be allowed, and counted to their stash. If engaged in melee, the player may use the arrow or bolt to attack them with a melee attack, if their weapon has no transformation form. In doing so, it works as a melee attack, however it provokes an Attack of Opportunity from the defender. ## Adding New Forms As the story progresses, sometimes a player might need to increase their arsenal of weapons. While this takes a long time to do, as making a weapon from the ground up to fluidly meld with their prexisting weapon, a player may take the time to disassemble a portion of their weapon to exchange it for the new one. The new weapon starts at the base stats for the weapon, following the rules of weaponry from [PathfinderSRD.](https://www.d20pfsrd.com/). If a weapon is disasembled, the player gains back all but two of the Weapon Upgrade Points they have spent, and must be used on the new weapon. If a player is simply adding in a new weapon, it does not recieve any Weapon Upgrade Points. The Dungeon Master is expected to set a long, but decent time span for the player to wait for their new weapon without being useless in combat.

\page In addition, instead of waiting for a set amount of time or dismantling a prexisting weapon, a player may opt to horde their Weapon Upograde Points, and use those to build the weapon, effectively cutting down the time to make said weapon by a proportionate amount per Point, usually set by the Dungeon Master. For example, a new Weapon that takes six days to make can be reduced to three days by spending three Weapon Upgrade Points. ## Ammo and Changing Forms As is with almost every weapon in the world of RWBY, it transforms. However, early on, Players should be informed that changing forms costs a single Action. Reloading is the same, costing a single Action, and provoking an Attack of Opportunity. Counting ammo shouldn't be enforced, only on Dust Ammo. All players are given 'infinite' basic ammo, but should limited to carrying a specific amount of reloads of special ammo each into combat per ranged weapon. For example, a Dungeon Master could make it so all players can only carry a total of 15 reloads between various ammo types, or another could make it so that they can bring in as much extra ammo as they want, but only 3 reloads of special types. Many firearms have different modes of firing, mainly Single Shot, a 'Burst Fire' of some sort, and Full Auto. To emulate these features, different firing types change how firearms work, but don't affect damage. Single shot is simple, and is only a single bullet fired at a target. The Burst fire option takes a number of bullets that would be able to empty the entire clip/magazine without an odd number of rounds left. For example, a firearm with 50 bullets would have a Birst Fire option of 5 bullets. When using Burst Fire, the player may reroll their Ranged Attack once, but recieve a penalty equal to the number of bullets fired. Fully Automatic/Full Auto firearms can have their attacks 'walked' down a pattern that has at least one end or corner connecting per area they wish to attack. Every target is attacked by the same attack roll, and each square costs ammo in the same way as the Burst Fire example. Due to the nature of Full Auto attacks, percision aiming cannot be done. ## Weapon Traits A number of traits are mentioned on various weapons, or some factors that should be included for sake of proper use. Dungeon Masters and Players can discuss various weapon designs to properly emulate what they'd like to see. Below are a number of traits weapons might have, and while not listed above, weapons should have the number of traits that fit the need. * Reach: Reach weaponry are weapons that strike an additional 5ft away, giving them a total of 10ft range. These weapons are usually Polearms, such as Spears, Lances, Halberds and the likes, while weapons like Whips and Chains might have an additional 10 or 15ft of reach to their attacks. If the Player using a Reach weapon that only has a 10ft total range, such as a Halberd, they may choke up on the shaft of the weapon, and in doing so may fight with as if they had the Double weapon property with the butt end of the weapon, dealing half of the weapon's Damage. * Double: Double weapons are things such as various staves, some types of polearms, and doubled headed weapons such as axes or even swallow blade swords. With a weapon on both end, the Player may attack as if they are fighting with Two Weapons in one Action, suffering the same penalties as Two Weapon Fighting, too. Players have the option not to fight with the Double property. * Thrown: Thrown weapons are anything light enough, or a weapon made for throwing, such as Knives, Handaxes, Javelins, and Hammers. These weapons do not take penalties when throwing them as a weapon, but only have a short range, typically 25ft base range. * Light: Light weapons are made with a weight reduction in mind. These are mostly daggers and knives, some axes, and some oddities like whips. Light weapons are primarily made for Dexterity Based fighters in mind, and are usually made for Two Weapon Fighting, reducing the penalty by half usually. However, Light Weapons don't allow the Player to use their Attacking Stat Modifier into their second attack per Action. * Hand and a Half: Encompassing a great deal of weapons, such as longswords, axes, some polearms, and clubs, Hand and a Half weapons allow the Player to leave their other hand free for various reasons, but have a grip long enough to fight with both hands, allowing the Player to fight with Strength and a Half. * Heavy: Heavy weapons are majority of the weapons that require two hands: Greatswords, a majority of polearms, greataxes, and scythes. They require two hands to fight, but can be held with one. All Heavy weapons have a penalty to them, from -2 to -6. If the Player attacks with one hand, they take the penalty into their Base Attack Bonus, Base Defense Bonus, Damage, and all Combat Maneuvers involving said weapon, such as Trip. All Heavy weapons grant Strength and a half to damage. * Blocking: A bonus to some form of weapons that are used for defensive purposes, such as Parry Knives, Blocking weapons add a +1 to Base Defense Bonuse while used. * Brace: Weapons with Brace are typically polearms, are weapons with a long enough reach to properly brace it against something, such as solid ground, a wall, or someone else with good footing. Brace must be declared with One Action, and in doing so, the Player gets a free attack at a +4 Base Attack Bonus and Damage to a target that is attacking them by way of Charge, Bull Rush, or ways that are through sudden, rushing motions.

\page * Deadly: Deadly weapons, as apposed to all weapons, are only able to be Slashing weapons, with an edge even deadlier than normal. When a Player attacks a Grimm who is able to be killed by the Deadly Weapon's next attack, the Player with said weapon ignores up to 6 points of AC from the target Grimm, however this number cannot be brought down past 2 AC. * Disarming: Disarming weapons a select group that excel in disarming opponents, such as whips, chained weapons, flails, and some axes. A Player may attempt a Disarm Attempt, and while they have a Disarming Weapon, they recieve a +2 their Base Attack Bonus. Also, if a Player with a Disarming Weapon is the target of a Disarm attempt, they recieve the +2 to their Base Defense Bonus as well for the attempt. * Momentum: Momentum weapons are weapons that can be classed through the ability to work with the attacker's motions to gain more speed and force. Certain heavy weapons such as polearms, certain regular weapons such as hammers, and other weapons like whips, chains, and flails, can have this property. When attacking, if the Player hits their intended target, they recieve a +1 to their Base Attack Bonus on their following attack. This stacks with each successful hit, but vanishes once an attack is blocked, or they stop attacking. This bonus even increases during attacks that are not part of the Player's turn, or through special Attacks such as the Axe Kick Feat. * Performance: Rare for many, many weapons, the realm of Huntsmen and Huntresses weapons mean there are no limits to what the weapon can be. While many of these weapons are directly musical in nature, such as a dust infused trumpet, others could range from a rigid, hollow club that beats like a drum when it hits something, or a spear with holes carved that whistle when swung. When used, Performance weapons grant a +4 bonus to the Performance skill that applies, such as Percussion or Woodwind. * Sundering: Sundering weapons are mainly blunt weapons, or those with heavy and/or jagged edges. A Player may attempt a Break Attempt, and while they have a Sundering Weapon, they recieve a +2 their Base Attack Bonus. Also, if a Player with a Sundering Weapon is the target of a Break attempt, they recieve the +2 to their Base Defense Bonus as well for the attempt. Sundering Weapons gain their bonus to the Player's Base Attack Bonus when attacking Grimm, overcoming parts of their Armor. * Tripping: Tripping weapons are a somewhat varied group, usually posessing hooks and curved egdes such as scythes, halberds, and sickles. A Player may attempt a Trip Attempt, and while they have a Tripping Weapon, they recieve a +2 their Base Attack Bonus. Also, if a Player with a Tripping Weapon is the target of a Trip attempt, they recieve the +2 to their Base Defense Bonus as well for the attempt. * Utility: Utility Weapons are a group that can be used for seperate uses. For example, a Whip could be used as a Grappling Hook, a sturdy polearm could be used as a wedge to lift heavy objects, hammers and picks as...hammer and pickaxes, and so on. Weapons of this feature should be discussed with the Dungeon Master, and the list should be extended as to what can logically and safely be used as a tool and weapon without needed a new form. The bonuses applied by the Utility quality start at a +4 for the intended use. ## Creating Ammo As stated a few times, players have the option to make special types of ammo. Ranging from purely Dust Infused bullets and arrowheads, to special Grimm tearing Hollow Point and Carapace Piercing bullets, the players are also free to think of speical types. Initially, when a player wishes to make Dust Ammo, they must be in a location that allows them to make the ammo properly, such as their Academy or a gun store in a city. At the start, the player must have enough Dust to start. They first make a Dust Use Check of DC 15, following the rules of Dust Combat. After the roll, they check to see how many Modifier Points they would have gotten. Any feats that increase the amount of Modification Points for certain dust types, such as Fire Starter, are automatically added to the final result. It costs 50 Dust per Check to make any kind of Ammo. From there, they are allowed to modify a Dust Use as normal. After they are satisfied, they next make a Craft (Weapon), Craft (Ammo), or any applicable Crafting Check based on Dungeon Master Fiat, DC 15 as well. On a success, the Player creates one full reload for the Player's firearm, and an additional reload per 5 points they beat the DC. For arrows and crossbow bolts, they create 15 of either on a success, and follow the same rules. Once created, Dust Ammo stays stable until used, and once used, the ammo uses the Dust Check result. Aside from Dust based rounds, Players should also be driven to make more ballistic based bullets for various weapons. All ammo types take the same Craft (Weapon) or Craft (Ammo) DC of 15, creating another full reload of ammo for every 5 points the Player beats the DC. Below is a list of ammo types. * Hollow Point: Hollow Point rounds are made for more fleshy Grimm. When attacking a Grimm with an AC of 6 or less, the firearm deals their base damage before any additional modifiers. However, if attacking a Grimm with 7 AC or more, the Firearm deals half damage and cannot deal Critical Damage. * Armor Piercing: Armor Piercing Rounds, or AP Rounds, are made to pierce through the bones of Grimm. When attacking a Grimm with an AC of 8 or more, the Firearm removes 1 point of AC from the Grimm permanently. AP Rounds deals half damage, no matter what.

\page * Tracer Rounds: Meant for improving one's accuracy, Tracer Rounds glow when fired. When a Player attacks with a Tracer Round, their next Ranged Attack gains a +3 to hit with it. While this bonus does not stack, if a Player attacks with another Tracer Round after shooting a Tracer Round, they keep their +3 bonus to hit. Tracer Rounds deal Half damage. Also, a Player may roll a DC 20 Perception check after an ally using Tracer Rounds attacks, getting a +1 to attacking with their own Ranged Weapon on their first ranged attack a round. These hitting bonuses only apply to a single target, and vanish if a target with with Tracer Rounds flees or is killed. Due to the bright light of the Tracer Round, the Player attacking with Tracver Rounds gain a -5 to all Stealth rolls until the start of their next turn, and all allies of the attacker within 10ft suffer a -2 to Stealth. * Spotting Rounds: A Tracer Round, but bigger. When used, a Spotting Round explodes in a very small area around the target, dealing 6 extra damage to the target and to all targets adjacent to the struck target. Spotting Rounds can be made with any kind of Dust in mind. Similar to Tracer Rounds, Spotting Rounds impose a penalty to Stealth as well, however due to the much brighter lights, the penalties for Attacker and Allies are increased to -10 and -5 respectively. * High Velocity Rounds: Mainly meant for smaller targets, such as rodent, vermin, and small game like rabbits, HV Rounds are exceptionally fast, but weak. When attacking with an HV Round, the Player gains a +4 to hit, but the ranged weapon's base damage is cut in half, in addition to counting the ability to pierce a Grimm's Armor Class as 2 points less on the die reveal. For example, Jett's Pistol deals 10 damage normally. Using High Velocity rounds makes the Pistol's damage deal 5 damage, and when attacking, Jett's roll of a 12 is counted as a 10 for all purposes of piercing a Grimm's Armor Class. However, when making HV Rounds, the Player makes double the amount for the same cost. High Velocity Rounds can only be made for Pistols and Rifles. * Breaching Shell: A Shotgun only shell, this slug is meant to break through hinges and locks. When using a Breaching Shell to destroy an object, it deals triple it's damage to any inatomate object such as a lock or deadbolt, but cannot deal damage to anything outside 5ft. * Slug: Slugs are mainly shells used for Shotguns, Slugs deal their damage to a single target, removing the Spread from the normal shells and instead making the Shotgun's range a single line, and increasing the shotgun's range by 20ft, dealing full damage to the Target in question, and only that Target. * Dragon's Breath: A highly unconventional, if not unique and deadly shotgun shell. When making Dragon's Breath Shells, both a Dust Use Craft and a Craft (Weapon) or Craft (Ammo) is required. When finished, Dragon's Breath shells can be any Dust element, dealing double the Shotgun's damage in a 100ft cone. However, Dragon's Breath Shells can only be used once per Round safely by the attacker due to the extreme Dust energy being unleashed from the shotgun, and can cause the weapon to break. If a player wishes to fire more than one per round, they must roll a d100 after every extra attack. If their d100 is lower than the damage of the weapon, the weapon breaks. For every extra attack, the damage compounds into the d100 roll. Example: Suave Empyreon shoots his Ice Dragon Breath round three times. The first attack does not provoke the d100 roll. On his second attack, his damage is 24 after the Double Damage and rolls a 65, keeping his weapon safe. On his third attack, his d100 roll must be higher than 48. The weapon cools off at a rate of 25 'heat' per round when not fired. * Piranha Round: A rather large shotgun shell, a Piranha Round is filled with spikes, mostly Caltrops. These Shells deals half damage to any target it hits, but scatters Caltrops on the ground of the target it hits, plus 5ft in each direction around the initial space. These caltrops deal 4 damage when stepped on, requiring a DC 15 Reflex Check to avoid doing so while stepping in a space. The caltrops prevent running over them, and if someone runs over them, the target in question takes 8 damage instead of 4 and does not roll the Reflex Check to avoid it. A use of Wind, Water or Earth Dust removes the Caltrops, and if Piranha Rounds are used over a space with Ice Dust slicks, the Caltrops spread out to 10ft arond the initial target, but damage is cut in half for both uses. * Bean Bag Round: A shotgun shell again, or better yet another variant of the Slug, Bean Bag rounds are mostly worthless against Grimm, however are made for Human and Faunus control. Bean Bag Rounds are treated as Slugs, however they deal half the damage to their intended Target, or no damage to Grimm with more than 5 AC. When a Bean Bag Round hits a Human or Faunus Target, the Target must make a Fortitude Save of DC 20 or fall Prone from the Bean Bag hitting them. This DC increases by 2 for every Successful Save the Target makes. Bean Bag rounds may also be used to Disarm Targets or to Trip them, due to their specialized round. If a Target rolls a 1 on their Fortitude Save, they fall Prone and are Nauseousd for 2 rounds from the Bean Bag hitting them.

\page * Pin Point Arrow/Bolt: A small arrowhead made for deep penetration. If used to attack a Grimm with a total of 6 or more Armor Class, the attacker counts the Grimm's armor as 3 points lower, to a minimum of 2 total. Pin Point arrowheads deal 2 less damage when used. * Bludgeon Arrow/Bolt: Arrowheads with flat, blunt tips. While using them, the Player cannot deal any lethal damage to their Target, however on a successful Critical Hit, the Target must roll a Fortitude DC of 5 + Weapon's Damage, or suffer the Dazed Condition for 1 Round. These arrowheads are mostly ineffective against Grimm, as the Grimm are immune to the effects of nonlethal damage. * Judo Point Arrow/Bolt: Special arrows with a spring loaded claw. When the arrow hits the Target, the claw springs open. The arrow then sticks to the Target and stays lodged in. While Aura prevents clothes from getting caught, Judo Arrows can be used to make certain Grapple or pinning checks against certain Grimm, or objects, be they unattended or held. If an object is held, the holder must make an opposed Grapple Check, beating the roll of the Attacker. A failure means the arrow snatches said item and pulls it from their person if it is not secured in place. * Mechanical Arrow/Bolt: Larger, broadhead arrows that hold the head in a compressed form. When fired, the arrowblade opens. Thanks to the weight of the arrow, they suffer a -3 to hit, but a +3 to damage. If the Mechanical arrowhead is used to attack a Grimm with 20 Dexterity or more, the damage is increased by an additional 3. * Cut-on-Contact Arrow/Bolt: Wide, triangular arrowheads, Cut-on-Contact arrowheads deal their damage as Slashing. In addition, Cut-on-Contact arrowheads deal an additional +3 damage to their Target with a -3 to hit. However, if the Cut-on-Contact arrow is used on a Grimm with 20 Strength or more, the damage is increased by an additional 3. * Chisel Arrow/Bolt: Wider arrowheads with an X shaped blade marking on the head, Chisel arrows round out the trio of Mechanical and Cut-on-Contact. Chisel arrowheads suffer a -3 to hit, but deal +3 to damage. In addition, when attacking a Grimm with 20 Constitution or more, the damage is increased by an additional 3. * High Explosive Grenade/Shell: Ammo for Launchers, High Explosive Shells deals double damage to all targets in the radius, and the damaging area is doubled. However, due to the bigger shell needed to carry the extra weight, the range of the attack is decreased by 10ft. * Anti-Carapace Grenade/Shell: Specialty explosive shells used for anti-Grimm operations, Anti-Carapace Shells deal half the damage to the targets in range, but ignore the total Armor Class of the Grimm in said range. * Stun Grenade/Shell: Dealing no damage, Stun Grenades/Shells are good for both anti-Grimm and anti-personel combat. When attacked with a Stun Grenade/Shell, the Target(s) must make a Fortitude Save DC 21. If they succeed the save, they are Dazzled. If they fail the save, they are instead Dazed for a single round. If they fail the save by 10 points or more, they are instead Stunned for a single round. When making Stun Grenade/Shells, the Player can increase the Craft (Ammo) DC by 5 points, to a base start of DC 20, to increase the DC of the Fortitude Save by +5. * Sting Grenade/Shell: Speciality ammo for explosive ordinance weaponry, Sting Grenade/Shells only deal half damage, as they are filled with hundreds of tiny, rubber balls instead of an explosive. When hit by a Sting Grenade/Shell, the Target must make a DC 21 Reflex Save or suffer a Cheap Shot, Disarm, or Trip special Action, rolling a d3 to determine which one, a one is a Cheap Shot, a two is Disarm, and a three is a Trip. When making Sting Grenade/Shells, the Player can increase the Craft (Ammo) DC by 5 points, to a base start DC of 20, to increase the DC of the Reflex Save by +5. * Smoke Grenade/Shell: Dealing no damage, Smoke Grenade/Shells fill the area with thick smoke, blocking vision into and out of the cloud. The cloud lasts for 3 rounds, and can be blown away by strong winds. When crafting Smoke Grenade/Shells, the Player can increase the Craft (Ammo) DC by 5 points to also make the smoke block the Scent ability of Faunus from working in the smoke cloud and from detecting in the smoke cloud. The smoke can be colored with any variety of single colors. ### Set Trigger EXP Cost 30, Single Hand Weapon such as a Pistol or Revolver, Single Bullet Fire Option. The Player's firearm has a Set Trigger, an optional firing mechanism that allows the trigger to be pulled much easier. At the cost of 2 Actions per Ranged Attack, the Player adds a +4 to their Base Attack Bonus while attacking. A Weapon with a Set Trigger does not force a player to attack with the Set Trigger. ### Smoothbore Barrel EXP Cost 30, Explosive firing firearm. The Player may alternate the barrel of their firearm, changing between a Rifled barrel or a Smoothbore barrel. A Rifled barrel acts as the basic barrel for their firearm, but a Smoothbore barrel increases the range of the projectile by an additional 20ft. However, the attacks takes a -3 to Hit while using a Smoothbore barrel. The Player may only change barrel types when they have access to the proper tools and the other barrel.
