The Amazons (New 2)

The Amazons are a loose collective of wandering tribes which travel across the plains and forests of the Amazonian jungle just outside the Kingdom, from which the collective title takes it’s name. The Kingdom has no formal treaties with any of the tribes, but does not restrict access by visiting Amazons as there has been no trouble (as yet). Amazons are either Battlestrider, Outrider or Wildshaper.

Amazon society lacks the basic educational level for magic. Individual Amazons can learn spells, but first they must find someone who is willing to teach them.

Similarly, Amazons do not generally have access to miracles from the Nine Principles, instead following the Path of Nature. It is possible for Amazon Battlestrider and Outriders to gain such miracles as long as they have not learnt any miracles from the Path of Nature and they can find someone who is willing to teach them.

Before an Amazon player can spend any CPs on any magic skill, or buy miracles from one of the Nine Principles, they must gain approval from the Character Ref and name the character who is their teacher.

Fabled Enemy

Each Amazonian Tribe has a Fabled Enemy, a group or type of creature which has harried and challenged the tribe throughout it’s history and forms the basis of the heroic deeds and tales taught to the tribe’s children. Amazons gain bonuses to fight their tribes Fabled Enemy. The Fabled Enemy is chosen by the Amazon at character creation and cannot be chosen afterwards.

A Fabled Enemy can either be a subset of creature types as listed in the Monster Manual, or members of the a specific Guild or group. The Character Ref should be consulted to confirm the choice. The playable races (Human, Elf, Half-Elf, Half-Orc, Half-Ogre) cannot be chosen as a Fabled Enemy.

Example: The Prime Amazons have had an ongoing feud with the Trader Joe Universal Product Storage, and as a result all Prime Amazons can claim Trader Joe and variants thereof as their Fabled Enemy.

Example: The River Watchers are regularly harried by goblinoid creatures from Water Goblins to Trolls in their travels along the rivers of the jungle. They have Goblinoids as their Fabled Enemy.

Requirements

An Amazon must

  • show discomfort in and distrust of static civilisation,
  • be confident in their superiority over their Tribe’s Fabled Enemy,
  • show at least distrust of all members of their Tribe’s Fabled Enemy,
  • never start a fight with another Amazon or other nomadic people.
Bonuses

Amazons receive the following bonuses.

  • They can identify their tribe’s Fabled Enemy on sight without requiring any Recognise Creature skill unless the Enemy is using a Disguise Spell, or mundane disguise.
  • Every 10 ranks they can choose one of the options below:
    • +1 Willpower bonus against mental effects if cast by their tribe’s Fabled Enemy (e.g. Coma, Command, Fear, Halt, etc), to a maximum of +5.
    • +1 Dexterity against all attacks made by their tribe’s Fabled Enemy, to a maximum of +5.
    • +1 Toughness against all attacks made by their tribe’s Fabled Enemy, to a maximum of +5.
    • +1 Damage against their Tribe’s Fabled Enemy when using melee and missile weapons.

Note: Bonuses from Fabled Enemy do not stack with bonuses from Creature Lore. The Amazon takes the greater bonus of the two.

  • At 15th level they are immune to one spell or miracle (including innate or natural variants) of their choice from their tribe’s Fabled Enemy.
  • At 30th level they are immune to two spells or miracles (including innate or natural variants) of their choice from their tribe’s Fabled Enemy.
  • At 50th level they are immune to three spells or miracles (including innate or natural variants) of their choice from their tribe’s Fabled Enemy.
