the rules Aakin has done a splendid job of putting together from our
previous versions. Now we have raw data from Introduction through
Powers nearly ready for formatting. Next up is Skills through Items,
and then more formatting.
More details to come, and a PDF release of the core rules. Supplements
we have information for but will produce based on demand and feedback
from the core rules.
A teaser, just a snippet out of the Body Reconstruction power:
Ghost Form
When the body of an Immortal is completely destroyed, or is damaged
beyond repair (i.e. Hit Points are reduced past -DUR, the Immortal
goes into
Ghost Form.
Their consciousness is transferred out of their body, and floats
around in free form, able to see into the Real World, but unable to
affect it. They are also able to see other Ghosts floating about.
While in Ghost Form, an Immortal can move about, at the rate of 10
feet per round. They are pretty much unaffected by anything in the
real world, able to move through matter, energy, and void with equal
ease. They can see and hear into the real world, but all other senses
(touch, taste, smell) are useless. They see into the world as if they
had a body with eyes at their current location (which means that if
they are located inside a wall, they aren't going to be seeing much of
anything). Also, in Ghost Form, everything is lit as if the ambient
lighting is that of dusk. This applies to brightly lit areas as well
as complete darkness.
When in Ghost Form, the Immortal automatically begins the process for
the construction of a new body. This process does not require any
interaction on the Immortals part, leaving them free to wander around
and do whatever they wish during this time although they may pause the
creation at any time.
The body is created in Ghost Space, and does not exist in real space
until the Immortal transfers it over after completion. Once the body
is completed, the Immortal can leave it in Ghost Space indefinitely.
When he is ready to reform in real space, the body is instantly
transferred over, and the Ghost rejoins the new body.
