Calls and Effects

BASE DAMAGE TYPES

The below can be combined with Elemental (ice, fire etc) or Effect (strikedown, knockback etc) calls.

BLAST - Blast is a ranged/non-contact magical effect that causes 1HP of damage
FORCE - Force is a ranged/non-contact physical effect that causes 1HP of damage.

Melee strikes - Unless stated otherwise, melee strikes are physical effects that cause 1HP of damage per blow. 

 

Please note that with Melee Strikes, adding the 'MAGIC' effect makes the blow be considered magical, and 'Magic' should be called with each blow. Ice and Fire, however, are not considered Magic, and so the blows remain as physical damage, though the elemental effect may cause the hits to be more effective against certain creatures.

 

ELEMENTAL DAMAGE TYPES
These must be combined with a base damage type to cause any loss of hitpoints. It is possible more elemental damage types can be discovered in play.

ICE - Icy shards, or the surface of a weapon coated in frost
FIRE - Flaming projectiles, or the surfaces of a weapon coated in flames

MAGIC - Pure, shimmering magic
