The basic stats STRENGHT, ENDURANCE, VITALITY, DEXTIRITY, AGILITY, PERCEPION, CHARISMA, INTELLLIGENCE, WISDOM, SENSITIVITY, FAITH, LUCK
Stats are also relative to body size. A 4 foot gnome with 40 strength would relatively be weaker than a 6 foot human with 40 strength. This not as applicable to mental stats or faith.
Strength is the amount of physical power you have, also effects carry weight.
Endurance is the amount of stamina you have, each point is 10 in the stamina pool and it effects your stamina recovery.
Vitality is a representation of your health with each point equal to 10hp. Also effects health recovery and natural resistances, like sleep, illness or poison. Each point also increases your lifespan and reduces the effects of aging on top of your own racial norms.
Dexterity is how nimble you are and how well you can control your body. Also heavily affects how well you can handle manually activated ranged weapons. Works well in conjunction with agility and perception. A humanoid with high dexterity would never land on their ass when flung in the air. Also effects dancing skills.
Agility is how fast your body can fire off its synapses and how quickly you can move in general without exerting more force than necessary. Someone with really high points in this stats would be able to run really fast, but if they do not have the correct Dexterity points to match it they would quickly stumble and fall over.
Perception is how well you can perceive the world and how acute your senses are.
Charisma is how likeable you are and how well you are to pass social checks in skills that require them. Such as bartering or trying to flirt. Some classes actually use this stat to replace the Intelligence checks for spells, such as Bards or Negotiators.
Intelligence is a stat that reflects the speed at which you can perform calculations or understand things. Works to power spells and also increases the ability to retain knowledge. A stable stat for magical classes that use them to power offensive or non-offensive spells.
Wisdom is how much clarity you have in thought and how well you are at thinking outside the box. Every point reflects into 10 points of mana and it also effects your mana regeneration. This stat also effects natural resistances to magical and mental means of the holder, on top of their racial natural resistances.
Sensitivity is how well you can perceive mana. It also helps with abilities or spells that require you to add outside natural mana to your own or to your spell. Also helps to increase magical and faith based magicks.
Faith is how attuned you are to your god. A definitely critical stat for people whom work in a church or follow a god. Affects the effectiveness of miracles or boons and blessings form their chosen god. This stat also helps provide mental resistances.
Luck is a stat that is nearly impossible to increase unless you are a chosen of Amelia. It affects the likelihood of favourable outcomes in uncertain situations such as in games of luck or in random encounters. Can also effect how people perceive you without the needed effects of charisma.
Sacamin - A spell that lets you look at your own status in a Realm world. Costs you 75 percent of you total mana and stamina pools and will not regenerate for a whole day on your planet.
Ranks
0-20 Tin
21-40 Commonly known as Bronze but sometimes referred to as Duskmetal
41-60 Steel
61-80 Silver
81-100 Gold sometimes referred to as Dawngold
101-120 Adamant
121-140 Mithril
141-160 Corium
161-180 Platinum
181-200 Diamond
Normal average humanoids are around Steel or Silver. If you push yourself you might reach Gold in a lifetime. Anything higher requires luck or being a genius. Grafted individuals easily reach Mithril due to having two souls grafted into one, and therefore have a levelling advantage.
Classes are split into 3 groups.
Racial Levels that you get from birth for example Jeb is a level 62 Human. Racial classes give you minor stat boosts and a few free points to invest. Racial classes normally increase along with age and performing certain challenging but it also increases by one for every two levels in your class. Jeb is a level 62 Human and a level 42 Butler as his class. Therefor 21 of his racial levels came as a bonus for being a butler, so he has 41 levels naturally, so we can assume he is above 41 to 50 in age.
Job class. Everybody gets it when they reach ten years old no matter the race. Can start off with a basic name such as Guard, but evolve to have a different name over time such as Journey Guard. Therefore it gives an advantage to races that have long lives. The way it is unlocked is debated , but generally depends on a combination of your vocation, hobbies or can be inherited. Gives bonus stats per levels and skills related to your class. New skills are obtained at every 20 levels. If more than one choice is available then you will have to pick it why us use a Sacamin spell.
Sub class. A secondary class that individuals can choose to obtain by using a classing stone or the help of certain churches. Exactly the same as the first class, but does not benefit your overall race level like the original does. The downside is you will now have slower growth across the board for Racial and the first class. So whatever the reasons, picking a Sub class will therefore make you lose out on future Free Stat points.

Since his son’s marriage twenty years ago he has been heavily investing his free points in VIT to live past the 140 normal average lifespan of Capybans and spend more time with his grandchildren, for Capybans have trouble conceiving and he himself only having one child before his wife passed away due to a Realm war.

Creature-pedia
Owlmites (Blinkers) – Small tin ranked Monster that are roughly the size of a large avocado, different shades of dusty brown to blend in with the underbrush where they forage and hunt but they occasionally climb trees. Has large owl-like eyes, 4 digit hands and bipedal, with the ability to cast Stone-spit which is highly uncommon trait for a tin ranked monster, that they effective use in conjunction with hiding in tree branches to stun unwary birds. Live in small family social groups in a underground den with the main mother and father pair being the only breeders, able to conceive once per year with live-born littlers containing two to three owlets. Some younger Owlmites will break off from the family unit for periods of time starting from the age of two, and eventually leave for good to start their own families. They reach maturity at the age of three years old and have the life expectancy of twelve years, with some reaching fifteen in captivity. Highly territorial, especially to other Owlmites that are not from the same family unit. Some individuals are known to be able to break into bronze rank through the consumption of certain bronze ranked flora with a high earthen affinity. The rarer and slightly larger bronze ranked Owlmites have been observed to be able to cast Earth spike for hunting and defence instead of using the rudimentary Earthspit spell. They communicate using a form of morse code via blinking and low guttural vibration from deep inside of their chests and hooting. Considered a good luck charm by farmers and encouraged to settle on farms, due to their appetites for pests and birds that would otherwise ruin crops.
Kaholins (Thorn legs) - A large cricket Monster that walks on six legs with a hard spiny exoskeleton and sharp thorns on the rear kicking legs. Contrary to belief or folk tales, Kaholins do not jump but they can reach a decent speed when walking at a cantor which is faster than a bronze ranked agility based class holder. The large incisors on the large bulbous head is used for processing plant matter for Kaholins are strictly herbivorous, bites are very rare as they are more likely to smack you with their large and hardy feelers or perform a vicious kick to defend themselves. Females (foals) conceive a singular nymph after a gestation period of 18 months and the live born nymphs are normally the size of a small dog and already at the lower end of bronze ranked. Full grown adult Kaholins are considered steel ranked with the hardening of the exoskeletons after the consecutive shedding throughout their life. The larger male (bulls) that can grow up to two meters in height of the thorax and more thornier than females are considered to be quite intimidating to people who have not seen one before. Kaholins are known to live past a hundred years if cared for properly and are fiercely loyal to individuals they consider part of the herd. They tend to be used as transport and are quite a docile monsters towards their masters and easy to take care of. The downsides to them is that they provide quite a uncomfortable ride on the natural thorax armour that looks like a saddle and the use of a actual saddle is advised. Highly valued in communities near mountainous terrain for they are very adept at climbing rocks.
Chitpulka (Spine eggs), A small domestic tin ranked Monster that is in round in shape with two long legs like a chicken and multiple spines like quills. They have beady eyes and a long snout. A Chitpulka male is called a Mood and can grow up to the height of human’s thigh, females or Combs only grow up to the height of an adult human’s knee. They have no spells or defensive features other than all their feathers which have fused together to form a protective pinchusion. They have no beaks, but they have a long snout and a long thing prehensile tongue which they can lash out at unwary bugs or to clean up stray seeds. They are omnivorous but prefer to eat insects, with some fruits and seeds. If a foodstuff is too hard to crack open then they use their tongues to throw the offending meal on the ground until it cracks open, to which it will then lap up its prize. A Mood normally watches over a harem of Combs to watch over for receptive females to sire his chicks. Occasionally a young mood will challenge the dominate Mood for the rights to the herd, to which there is a lot of posturing and kicking up dirt to size each other’s leg strength. If there is no clearly dominate Mood then a fight ensues, with the combatants kicking each other until one gives up and retreats or in certain cases, death. Chitpulkas are kept for their nutritious eggs which the Combs lay one every three days. Contrary to beliefs, Chitpulkas are not wooden or nature attuned monsters with wind affinity instead. There is speculation that Combs have basic mana sense or pull, which they use to help gestate the large and delicious eggs whether they are fertile or not. Their meat is quite the delicacy also, but people tend to keep them for eggs and not for butchery, due to the time consuming removal of the quills before they can be used in cooking.
Chopeck – A particularly rowdy and horny Mood on the ranch. Quite high levelled due to fighting with the Brownwhisker boys a lot. Has unnaturally high intelligence for it’s species.
Sowigan (Goldslugs) A bronze ranked Beast that is famously fickle to properly keep and care for. They are small brown slug monsters that are the size of a Yorkshire terrier. Originally a predominantly dungeon based creature that is used for cleaning up refuse, but they have been brought out and bred by some elite ranchers for their meat. They are born as tin ranked sluggies from a clutch of up to twelve eggs and become sexually mature at the age of two years. They are only sexually active one day per year and this makes them very hard to breed in captivity outside their natural habitat which is secluded underground caverns or dungeons. They like to live in dark and damp places near running water with very high levels of hygiene and cannot tolerate moulds growing on their damp skin. They also are easily stressed and a weird effect of misplacing them from dungeons is that they have a very refined palate and enjoy eating only clean bronze ranked herbs. The only reason some people choose to keep these picky creatures is that their meat can demand a very high price at most high level fine dining establishments or even a decent sum in auction. Contrary to normal practice, the use of Rancher skills to dominate a Sowigan only serves to stress them and it is actually better to rear them using the skills of a monster tamer whom it has been found to calm them better.
Gildronfly- A large bronze carnivorous bug Beast that flys on six large opaque wings and preys upon small birds and flying beasts alike. The adult Gildronfly’s main body is long and sinuous , measuring up to 50cm long with six large segmented and hooked feet that it uses to snatch prey mid-flight before disembowelling them with its large scythe-like mandibles. The Gildronfly is curious in the transition from being a water element attuned creature in its nymph stage before it metamorphosis into an air elementally attuned creature in adulthood. The adult females lay eggs underwater at the base of water reeds on riverbanks and the young nymphs hatch into a small pinky sized version of the adults. The tin ranked larval stage lacks the wings of the adult but the proto wings that it has serves as camouflage and gills, with the feathery brown organs serving to break up the profile of the creature and camouflaging it as leaf litter and reeds which it hides in for unsuspecting prey. The nymphs are also able to hold a small amount of water in its anal cavity which it squirts out at speed to propel itself towards prey and grab hold of it in its claws. The full grown adult Gildronfly is able to cast a basic version of Bend Light to hide its presence as it cruises around before snatching its prey with the humming of the vibrating wings being the only tell to its presence in the area. The larvae has a water attuned version of the spell that it uses to the same effect and has given rise to innovation in the field of water mages and the creation of Water Meld by the Cordinair the Felmorian water Archmage. Gildronflys are hated by owners of low levelled flying beasts and monsters universally but are otherwise not considered to be harmful.
Rivet Boar – A versatile earthen attune beast that can range between bronze ranked all the Silver depending on the mana levels of its natural habitat. It resembles as normal wind hog in every way except for being double in size and having a small battery of forward facing tusks. The long sharp tusks are lined atop each other on its huge face, which it can fire are will using a Earth shift to propel the miniral rich tusks a high speeds towards aggressors or prey. A varocious omnivore with a highly developed sense of smell, which it uses along with its powerfully built front legs to dig up tubers. Endemic to the Whisperwoods.
Slyph-hawk- A lesser wind Elemental that is considered the lower end of bronze ranked and usually the first summon of Elemental Summoners or Elemental Surguists. They take on the form of a common sparrowhawk albeit slightly larger and slightly translucent. Being a elemental, they can take sustenance from mana rich meats but cope perfectly fine with a occasional small infusions of mana, preferably wind-attuned. They are not very capable when it comes to combat prowess in comparison to other beasts or monsters of the same rank, but they make up for it with the ability to travel at very fast speeds using the Windride spell and Windmerge to avoid predation or interception. Elementals are very easy to communicate to with their exceptionally high INT and this along with its speed makes the Slyph-Hawk the go-to method for sending reliable and quick messages between cities.
Rottwood worm – A small tiny pale grey grub that is a creature that would barely even be considered tin ranked. They serve the purpose of digesting and processing decaying plant matter and they are near the bottom rung of most forest ecological systems. Some may contain higher concentrates of mana and different affinities depending on the tree matter they have consumed. They have no natural defences and tend to shy away from light and live under leaf litter. Rottwood worms have very fast reproduction rates and can reach sexual maturity in under a week. In the absence of predation the Rottwood worms can cover the whole forest floor in a squirming mass before dying off to mass starvation or cold weather.
Dewphid- A small slightly translucent bug no bigger than a seed pip. Considered a plain creature that is not even Tin ranked and have no means of protecting itself except hiding under leaves. The bug lives of siphoning sap and drinking mana rich dew in the morning, The more mana they contain the more bluer they get and the more successful their chances of finding a willing female partner to breed. But the more blue they become the easier it is that birds or roaming predators would spot them and predate on them.
Mentorsparrow- A small tin ranked bird that is classified as a Beast due to being able to cast a small Sonic-song to disorientate predators before slipping away using its high areal manoeuvrability and small stature. During the summer months it spends near the farmlands on the main continent before migrating to the southern deserts for the cold winter. Whilst migrating they are hunted on by Dolteeth due to their large flocks but otherwise are solitary insectivores. Only the female raise youngs.
Dolteeth- A high Mythril ranked Beast that is a fish-like leviathan that sails through the skies. It contains a large symbiotic ecosystem of moss and plants on its back that it uses for photosynthesis and mana absorption of the ambient mana to power its passive lift spells with the aid of the six skin-flap sails that sprouts from its shoulders. The creature is often seen diving down from clouds to engulf whole flocks of migrating birds in its large cavernous mouth, otherwise they are rarely seen feeding. A highly valued creature for its excrement is naturally empowered by a Mass Fertility spell and falls upon the land to enrich crops. They are highly prized and worshiped as a good luck charm by farmers all over the land. A creature that is directly tied to the old Harvest god and generally welcomed and respected, with attempts at captivity proving fruitless with the Dolthian leviathans wasting away and refusing to eat. They are regarded as the national animal by the long-eared Leporians who are known as the major agriculturalists of the union states, whom have formed a flying manticore brigand just for the purpose of escorting Dolthian pods to their breeding grounds. The Leporians are also known to celebrate the coming of the Doltian in spring with festivals and the releasing of flocks of birds.
Tricorn Woollen Bovinus- A large earth attributed Monster that is in the Silver ranks in adulthood and are born as bronze ranked calves. They are similar to bison on earth but have an large extra horn that is right in the middle of its forehead and two curved ones on the side that are much larger. They are taller with a larger chest that is armoured on the males. The chest is used to ram into each other during mating season whilst they lift up their heads to avoid impaling each other, with the horns only used to fend off predators. Young bulls only develop the plated chest when they are off three years old before it becomes fully grown by the age of fifteen. Tricorns stand at four meters tall at the shoulder and are not recommended to be kept by anyone except Ranchers with a strength main. To be kept in the lowlands the Tricorn needs to be shaved at least twice a year or else the cow or bull with overheat. The wool is very useful as a highly insulating material and the milk from a mother cow is extremely nutritious with a cow able to produce up to nearly twenty gallons of milk per day. The average adult tricorn requires at least three acres of grassland to live comfortably and about 300 pounds of feed per day in the winter.
Firelocust- a weak tin ranked insectoid Beast. A small grasshopper that is able to produce a small weak Emberspark spell from their thorax when mortally threatened. This is not an issue to most predators, but many cannot be consumed at the same time if the predator is not fire aligned or else they will suffer from internal burns. This is especially true to Monsters for they tend to eat prey alive and only smarter Monsters that kill the locust before consumption can avoid taking damage. Beasts that predate on the Firelocust tend to not suffer the same problem due to dispatching them using spells. If a predator is of a high enough vitality and/or magic resistance such as the Dolteeth, then they do not suffer at all from the Firelocust’s defences. On particularly hot summers the Firelocust will be able to store a lot of fire mana before hibernation and moulting into a larger flying variant new spring and form huge plague clouds next year. They are particularly detested by Farmers due to being highly voracious and creating large swarms the year after a hot summer. AOE spells to be used for eradication by water mages are very hard to come by so it is uncommon that they can be dealt with. The preferred method is to use multiple Beast Tamers to eradicate the swarms.
Rainmouse- a small rodent that is slightly green in colour. They prefer to forage in the rain as water attuned tin ranked Beasts. They can propel themselves by casting a weak water based haste spell on themselves but sometimes shoot off a weak Water-spit when agitated. They are generally considered harmless and prefer not to go near grain silos that are very dry in nature unless they are starving.
Flenemon- a tin ranked Beast that is a mix between animal and plant. Considered to be harmless and growing only to the size of a small grape. It lives in the shade of trees and at the base of low hanging branches. The small purple creature consist of a foot and the main body with a small opening for a mouth with tentacles rimming the circular opening. It also uses the mouth for excrement. From its mouth it hangs out thin feathery and sticky feelers that it spreads out to catch flies and passing insects which it then reels in towards the mouth. It only maintains a small weak Updrift spell on its feelers for bouyancy that it naturally sustains through ambient mana. In the breeding season the asexual creatures pollinate spores into the air the fertilizes in the wind. The small spores will settle and hatch into a tiny Flenemon that will take at least six months to become an adult.
Babaslink- A small lizard Beast that is abundant near watersides in thick vegetation. As a tin ranked baby with yellow skin it grows into a large monitor lizard that is on the cusp of steel ranked and becomes grey in maturity. Young skinks prefer to rely on its fast speed and swimming abilities to escape from predation. Larger adults prefer to fight and face enemies head on and are notoriously violent in nature when cornered. Both adults and young Babaskinks are able to shed its tail that wriggles and lashes about, with an inherent life detect spell causing the severed appendage to home in on predators and distract them whilst the Babaskink escapes to safety.
Whisperwood Lopers - a bronze ranked Beast that exclusively found in the woods of it’s namesake. A small brown Leporidrae like creature. The exception to normal tin ranked rabbits is that it has a hard bony lever underneath its rib which can be sprung to propel itself high in the air if horizontal speed is not enough. The Whisperwood Loper is able to cast a minor Windcushion to aid in its landing whenever it uses the spring-like lever. Hunters have learned to aim for the landing spot when they perform their impressive jumps. Endemic to the Whisperwoods.
Voidflies- A tin ranked insectile Beast. A small insect with a long thin body of a few meters and sic legs. As nymphs they have a small fan-like mouthparts that wave about to catch small biomatter to feed upon. They spend nearly their whole lives accumulating mana as nymphs in their aquatic environment before they reach maturity. When they reach maturity after ten years they go through a semi-metamorphosis where they moult into their adult forms that have wings but no mouthparts. They only live for a week or so as adults but their nightly mating displays are a sight to behold. This is because the males are able to perform space magic where they use a weak version of a Voidrift. The night skys around the rivers in the summer will be filled with small patches of extreme darkness that follows the male, with females choosing to mate with the males that can perform the biggest voidrifts before depositing the eggs upriver. This is so they can flow downstream and hatch where the adults used to grow, amongst the reeds where they will filter-feed until maturity.
