WPF#24 Entry
Aleph Von Erich has been consumed with rage since Firmament, the kingdom above the clouds, exiled him to the barren wasteland called Dead Gardens.
By virtue of the dying god Dominion, Aleph lived to see another day. But only if he acts as Dominion's avatar for vengeance against those who wronged them both. Plagued by pain and betrayal, Aleph will stop at nothing until he has laid waste to Firmament. To aid his revenge, Dominion offers a powerful System that can generate items, examine foreign objects, and monitor his status. But for a hefty compensation:
His soul.

Dead Gardens

(5) talks about the god that favors the analyzed subject. When a god favors someone or something, they will bless them with the stat they resonate with. The amount of stat the gods give depends on the rarity of the object.


Legendary, the gods will give +40 stat.


Unbreakable, the gods will give +60 stat.


Entities and Animals will always receive +70 stat from the god that they answer to.


There are only two exceptions to this rule.


Lady Principality gives a flat +80 Wisdom on all she favors.


Lord Dominion gives a flat +100 Charm on everything.


However, before we can talk more about what each god gives, we should first discuss status points.


Thanks to our lesson about durability, we already discussed a bit about status points, but let's talk about it now in full detail.


Status points are characteristics given by Lord Dominion and the five heathen gods that define those who live in Firmament and Dead Gardens. They are Strength, Vitality, Intelligence, Dexterity, Wisdom, and Charm.


Strength talks about the amount of physical damage dealt.


Intelligence determines how much damage a Projectile spell would deal. (We will talk about the other perks of Intelligence once we reach our lesson about mana and spells.)


Dexterity deals with efficiency in handling pieces of equipment and speed.


Wisdom affects how long a person can hold a spell.


Charm... is special. A higher Charm status will increase a person's attractiveness, charisma, and interpersonal influence, but that can both be a perk or a curse. We will have a more in-depth discussion about Charm in the future.  


We discussed earlier that gods give a bit of their essence to those they favor, and the (5) sub-classification shows this. Let's talk about which god gives which status point.


Let's use our narra once again as an example:


|Classification: (1) Natural Resource, (2) Alive [VS], (3) Raw Material, (5) Seraphim


As you can see, the disgusting heathen god Seraphim favors the narra tree. Since the narra is only a Common raw material, Seraphim only gives +10 Dexterity to it.


Let it be known that everything that ever exists and will exist has a base 100 Charm stat. This is the gift of Lord Dominion to all of us. As such, the System will not show a person's Charm stat if they have the default 100.


And that concludes our lesson about Lord Dominion's System.
