Les Ombres d'Esteren - Forum officiel

On the character sheet's second page right above the entry for Flux in the bottom right corner there is a section called "Resources".

Now I've only just finished my first reading of the book (except for the sanity section getting to that later in the week) and have been creating a character and a detailed background for them. However with the slightly limited indexing offered in Book 1: Universe I haven't found an entry for 'Resources'.

So what is resources generally meant to track? Materials other than flux or coin? Gold/Silver bars?, and if so how are the circles used for quantifying (the same circles which there are too few of to track defense and speed unless they reflect penalties)

Ah, actually, it's a bit embarrassing for me to admit it, but it does not have any specific purpose that I can fathom. It is basically a section where you can keep track of whatever you deem fit, and which could actually have been called "Miscellaneous". What you write in there is up to you!

Actualy, these are to keep track of the bonus Speed and Defense points you have bought with XPs (see "Improving Defense and Speed Ratings" on p.230).

Thanks so much Clovis that makes much more sense I must have missed about the bonuses (was only the first read) some sections I did skim over as more "when I have players or am a player"

and haha glad that it is miscellaneous it was driving me mad trying to fathom where I had missed Resources.

Now to have a hunt around the forum and see what people have been doing to stat up Feondas (in English) and other NPCs.

No problem! The book as a whole is easily understandable, but I can understand that some details are a bit trickier to handle.

Your best resource in that regard would be Book 2, but as far as community content is concerned, you'll indeed be able to find animals, NPCs, and Feondas made by the members of the forum.

You can use Resources as stats for character "House".

First is Wealth, second is Power and last is Influence.

His system is best used for noble Houses, but it can be as well used for other societies.

For example Artisan Guild, Mercenary squad, Secret cabal of occultist's and so on.

You can suppose that 15 is represent most powerful organizations in world and 1 is lesser ones.

When players make some important quest for organization they can increase some resource.
When in game organization must use it resources you can decrease its numbers.

Also you can use this to track food, water, ammunition and so on.

These are interesting ideas!

I don't think you're talking about the right subject :p
