- Robert Louis Stevenson

Eye of newt, and toe of frog, Wool of bat, and tongue of dog, Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting, Lizard's leg, and owlet's wing,— For a charm of powerful trouble, Like a hell-broth boil and bubble. Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn, and caldron bubble.

Es gibt eine Art von Zauberei, die man mühsam erlernen muß: Das ist die, wie sie im Koraktor steht, Zeichen für Zeichen und Formel um Formel. Und dann gibt es eine, die wächst einem aus der Tiefe des Herzens zu: aus der Sorge um jemanden, den man lieb hat. Ich weiß, daß das schwer zu begreifen ist - aber du solltest darauf vertrauen, Krabat.
- Otfried Preußler

Whoever said the pen is mightier than the sword obviously never encountered automatic weapons.
- Douglas MacArthur

Wer ein guter Schildknappe gewesen ist, wird auch ein guter Statthalter sein.
- Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra

Alles ist Gift, ausschlaggebend ist nur die Menge. Alles Tun ist ein alchemistisches Zuendeführen, eine geistige Goldmachung und Kunst der Vollendung. Alles Wachsen ist Auferstehen. Auch in die Liebe muss man hineinwachsen und ihre Stunden abwarten, denn die Gewächse der Erde und die Gaben im Menschen haben ihre Zeit.
- Paracelsus

My gran could do better! And she’s dead!
- Gordon Ramsay

You may spend wounds instead of arcana to cast spells.

Vanity: You are vain beyond measure and like to show it often.

The Character is a paranoid type, can never trust fully, and is always wary,

The char is not very tolerant towards "strangers", "new things" and tends toward extremely conservative views of life and even more reactionary world views.

Dice results of 1 can be repeated once.

When you have a lot of confidence and you feel like nobody can beat you, it’s game over for everyone else.
- Jason Day

The character feels pronounced disgust for a particular subject and will stay away from it if possible.

The character is a militant justice fanatic. If he experiences a situation in the game that he feels is unjust, he can hardly control himself.

The character is especially devout. All effects performed on him by clerics of the same alignment have double the effect. Clerics with this gift also receive more favor points when they perform a ceremonial service.

A greedy character always has his personal enrichment in mind first. This includes trying to collect gold or the rewards of his travel group for himself. It also means an almost magical attraction to gold and valuables of all kinds.

A hot-tempered character is quick to fly off the handle and has a "thin skin". On any occasion that is offensive to the character, the game master can ask for a roll on Logic. If this fails, at least the fists will probably fly.

A character with this trait is easily confused. In busy markets or crowds, the gamemaster may require a roll for Orientation to keep the character from panicking.

The character comes from the countryside. Stand and education are not relevant, as soon as the character comes into a larger settlement (from 1000 inhabitants) he is confused. Rolls for orientation in larger settlements have a minimum roll increased by 1.

The character is addicted to a certain substance, depending on the degree of addiction, the renunciation or the prospect of soon having to renounce can influence him in his actions.

The character attracts the mischief. If he enters a new region or society, he must roll a d6. If the roll shows a 5 or 6, a disaster, accident or similar happens.

Naive: Your character is naive. He sometimes believes too much in the good in people. Whenever the character doubts the statements or intentions of NPCs, the game master can have him roll for logic. If the roll fails, the character believes the NPC.

The character has an aversion to a particular subject. All rolls that interact with the subject have a minimum roll increased by 1.

The character may reroll up to 3 dice twice a session, or let a fellow character reroll the 3 dice.

The minimum roll is reduced by 2 for all rolls involving animals.

The character may give an action to a fellow character every combat round, instead of using it.

The character may force a person in sight to use one of his rerolls for a recent roll. To do this, the character must spend a bonus or destiny die.

The character has the ability to profit from special rolls. Everytime the player rolle one of the following dice patterns (while not in combat) the stated effect applies.

• Three of a kind - The character gains one bonus die
• Small Straight - The character gains one boost immediately
• Full House - The character gains one destiny die
• Large Straight - The character rediscovers an item in his backpack (the player chooses an item and adds it to his backpack)
• Four of a kind - The character gains +1 actions in every round of the next combat
• Five of a kind - The characters group gains one additional turn prior to the enemies in the next combat

In each case, the highest pattern to be achieved counts for a roll. So 5, 4, 3, 3, 2, 1 is a large straight, but not three of a kind.

As you know, madness is like gravity...all it takes is a little push.
- The Joker

The character may spend a wound to take any item from his backpack, even if he doesn't possess it. To do so, the character takes a wound and the player rolls a d6:

• 1-2: The desired item doesn't exist in the backpack
• 3-5: A similar item could be found in the backpack
• 6: The exact desired item could be found

With a little bit of imagination, anything is possible.
- MacGyver

Everyone has a plan until they’ve been hit.
- Joe Lewis

The minimum roll to achieve for critical hits is reduced by one. This applies only to critical hits, but not to megacrits.

As an action in combat you can roll on your Persuasion Skill. A party member gains bonus dice equal to your successes or at least 1

As an reaction while in combat, you can roll on your Deception Skill. An enemy losses success dice equal to your successes

Requires deception of 3 or more

The Character learned to use a shield in combat.

This allows the character to block incoming attacks using his strength or deftness depending on the type of shield used

Ranges of ranged weapons are increased by 25%.

Knowing where the trap is—that's the first step in evading it.
- Frank Herbert, Dune

Scientists have calculated that the chances of something so patently absurd actually existing are millions to one. But magicians have calculated that million-to-one chances crop up nine times out of ten
- Terry Pratchett

The character's minimum roll is reduced by 1.

Ah, mastery... what a profoundly satisfying feeling when one finally gets on top of a new set of skills... and then sees the light under the new door those skills can open, even as another door is closing.
- Gail Sheehy

in terms of the Exploding Dice rule, each time a 6 is rolled on a die, a success is added to the roll's successes.

With realization of one’s own potential and self-confidence in one’s ability, one can build a better world.
- The Dalai Lama

Gives bonus dice for every throw that involves seduction in any form.

Our real enemy is not our neighboring country; it's hunger, cold, poverty, ignorance, superstition and prejudice.
- Henry Dunant

Whenever the character uses the "Run" action in combat, he may make an acrobatic throw to advance further meters. If this roll succeeds, he may move further than his running range according to the successes.

If the roll is unsuccessful, the character stumbles and is considered to be prone. He must spend one action to get back on his feet or into the Hunkered stance.

"Nur hartes Training und unbändige Disziplin sorgen für Tot und verderben in einem flüssigen Streich"

You can use a moment of rest outside of a rest to renew your connection to magic and replenish your arcana. Roll on your magic knowledge value and fill up your arcana with half of the successes.

At the beginning of a fight, the character receives one action, which, however, can only be used to react. Once the character's turn begins in the first round of combat, his actions override this additional action.

Der Charakter kann bei einem Untersuchenwurf durch einen kritischen Erfolg besonders interessante Dinge entdecken.
