Introduction and Set-up

Welcome to the World of Eldoria Tabletop Roleplaying Game otherwise known as WoE TTRPG. In this game, you'll use your imagination, a little bit of math, and some luck to guide you and your friends through telling some of the best stories you can come up with. One of your friends will be in charge of maintaining the continuity of the game and the difficulty of the challenges and encounter that you and your friends will face, referred to as the Game Master (GM).

Step 0.5 - Roles and Session Set-up

Now that you each have your roles, Game Master and a few players. You each have a few things you'll need to do to get started. We'll go ahead and start with the players. You'll want to being by thinking of what kind of character you will want to play as in this fantasy world that your group has agreed to play in. Keep in mind if you haven't selected Eldoria you can "Reflavor" any of the content we've provided by simply saying "XYZ" pre-written content is now "ABC"" and just use the template we've provided for the game mechanics. As for the Game Master start thinking of the main set of problems that the player's characters (PCs) will face, or begin browsing some of the pre-written: One-shots, Quests, or Campaigns in this book. GM your "character" is going to be all of the other characters that your players are not going to be playing as, and you'll likely have one main character working against the group, this is often referred to as the Big Bad Evil Guy (BBEG). In some cases a one-shot or quest may not have a BBEG, but most campaigns will have one or more Big Bad Evil Guys as you continue to play. With that said, please remember that not everyone that your party comes across is going to be out to get them, and players that also means that you don't need to kill every traveling merchant that you see, you might just be killing off someone you'll need later, or perhaps get yourself into more trouble than you can deal with and end up with a dead character and have to create a new one. One thing that you should also talk about is what concepts and limitations you and your friends have with roleplaying. Not everyone is comfortable with the same things and it's easier to talk about this now before someone makes another member at the group or yourself uncomfortable, remember we're all here to have fun.

Step 1 - Coming Up With Your Character Concept

Ok, now that we've covered all of the possible ways you could set-up your game table, the players should start fleshing out their character design, you'll want to think about your character's looks and strengths and weaknesses. All of the playable races will naturally have advantages at certain things, and disadvantages in others. We've provided a set of stats for each of them. Feel free to use them, or one of the other stat deciding methods once you've got your concept figured out.

Example. Think about if you want to play as a bloodthirsty barbarian with plenty of strength, think about how quickly he needs to be able to react to new situations that may arise and how healthy he will need to be to remain in the fight, and how this may lead to him not being the sharpest member of the group when it comes to investigating an area, sneaking in the shadows, or social interactions with other non-player characters (NPCs) you come across.

Step 2 - Selecting a Race and Subrace

Once you have your character concept, go ahead and navigate to the list of Races and Subraces provided just after the Introduction, go ahead and write down which race you've selected on your character sheet. Remember your character sheet doesn't have to look fancy and can literally be a blank sheet of paper.

• I'm going to go ahead and build a character along with you so that you can reference it in case you have any questions.
  
  
• I'm going to go ahead and select: Human as my Race.
  
  
• As a Human I gain a couple of benefits referred to a Racial Features and Racial Actions.

Classes and Subclasses

Familiar Classes have also been added. However they may now be found under a new name to provide clarity to new players. We really wanted to focus on making the game more easily understood, streamlining the balancing of the game and making it easier to branch off of so that we as the developers and the players would have an easier time making additional content, whether official or homebrewed. Some of the new classes include: The Alchemist, Arcane Blacksmith, and Inventor (Previously known in other games as the Artificer). But if those newer classes aren't your preference be rest assured that we still have Barbarians, Bards, Clerics, Druids and more.

One of the key things about Eldoria is that you get your Subclass at your 1st level, no more waiting until your 3rd session for your Game Master to speed level you there for you to finally start defining yourself in your class, and you'll have a distinguished character from the start of the very first session.

Hometowns and Professions

Every character is from somewhere in Eldoria, when choosing this location try out the tables we've created for the different races and subraces and where they may be found, occasionally a character may not fit into that table, or you'll want to try out something new, just make sure to check with your Game Master on any restrictions that they may have in the campaign that they are running for you and you should be all good to go. Try to make sure that you've taken the time to select where your character is from before the start of the first session, as this could drag out the length of the first session or take away from valuable game time if you or your other players may have a more strict schedule that may interfere with their ability to play. If the player does not select the town or city and instead opts to only select the country, the Game Master may select this for the player.

Starting Equipment - Rough

Each section will give you options on what you may get for starting equipment. As a human, you may get a family heirloom. As an Arcane Blacksmith, perhaps you have a particular forge hammer, as an Armorer or Weaponsmith you may still have one of your favorite creations, and if this was your profession perhaps you still have some gold laying around. Each section will list out further details on exactly what bonuses you can get, and you can always talk to your Game Master (GM), for anything not clarified in the guidebook.

Skills - Rough

One thing that can be really annoying when you play other TTRPGs is the rigidity of skills, that can cause a character to be getting better at a skill they don't use, unable to select a new one because of a decision they made much earlier in the game. It's unrealistic to expect that a character could not improve upon a skill, or become rusty in unused skills. While this can be a challenge for game developers, we've put a lot of thought into how this system might work, in order to maintain realism but also not bog down play or require so much time that time-skips are required in order to fulfill the requirements needed in order to preform this necessary changes to ones character. Skill training gained at level 1, can always be forgotten, and the time can be spent to retrain another.

Last Looks

It appears you are ready to write your character's backstory, and begin this new adventure. Good luck, and have fun!

Magic - Rough

Balance around spells has been at the top of the list in terms of what we want to see this game do differently than others. Many games like dungeons and dragons start to lose balance between levels 10 through 15. We took a numerical approach to this by evaluating how different we would like each character to be by the time they reach the maximum level. For answers we looked to the dice, as each number increases on a d20, you have a 5 percent increase of the total, all the way up to the maximum of 20, we wanted to take the same approach to leveling. You'll get a flat amount stronger at each level, gaining a fixed number of bonuses that are carefully given out as choices when compared to the rest of the classes. No more 9th level spells like wish when the best a fighter can do is attack a few more times. Our spells are classified by the spell's level rather than an arbitrary system, a spell increasing in level reflects that it has higher strength.

Combat Mechanics

We have taken a look at what makes each class special, and how each subclass manages to accomplish the similar goals that someone sharing that class would like to fulfill and for that reason have tweaked some of the gameplay you may be used to in other games, by attempting to reward players who are playing their characters to their strengths and weaknesses. One of the highlights of this section are how Alchemist's, that's right they have their own class now, can brew potions and make noxious traps, but placing these around before a fight, can allow the Alchemist to be more effective in the fight, as they can utilize these traps to take out large foes without fear of running out of supplies and needing to craft more mid-fight. Similarly we've taken a more relaxed approach when it comes to things like ritual casting.

Chapter 1 - Character Creation

Common Races

Rough

Humans

Humans are good at adapting to their environment, often able to overcome many of the issues imposed on them by other groups and environments. Humans often overcome these challenges by either developing technological solutions much like the Dwarves and Gnomes, or by magical means like the elves. While they thrive at perservering against outside threats the biggest threat to the human settlements is often each other. Occasionally they will set out to attempt to solve problems diplomatically but you can be rest assured that if things do not go their way or at least improve that they will be ready to take up arms.

Beastfolk

Beastfolk are a category of humanoid creatures mixed between their various different beasts and humans, mostly native to The Great Savannah just south of Aetheria and Vaeloria, This vast savannah is by far the largest country of Eldoria. However, some settlements of Beastfolk have sprung up in other countries, most choose to create their settlements here choosing to settle by many of the geographical areas that provide each of them with their preferred habitat. Only allowing a few outsider settlements into the area, their numbers grow to extreme proportions when faced with an outside force. In 701 ED they struggled to fight back against the Vaelorian Elves, as the Elves attacked at night with their magic. However, despite losing some of their land in the North they were able to repel the Vaelorian forces. With the help of many of the various settlements they were able to quickly gather their forces and create weapons and armor for themselves on their frontline and have held their force their to block the Vaelorians from trying again ever since.

Subraces of Beastfolk

Badgerfolk

Badgerfolk, are a robust and secluded subrace of beastfolk, they have sturdy frames and distinctive markings. They are recognized for their tight-knit communities, often residing in underground burrows reminiscent of their badger heritage. Emphasizing communal living, cooperation, and burrow protection. Badgerfolk excel in digging intricate tunnels for safety and defense. Valuing self-sufficiency, hard work, and loyalty, they have a deep connection to the earth and adapt well to subterranean environments. While initially cautious of outsiders, Badgerfolk form unwavering bonds within their communities once trust is established.
