world concept overview

Players have a small amount of internal magic but mostly gain lots of magic by sacrificing creatures or by charging up with items, brews, and magic locations. Players can still cast magic once they’re at 0 mp but it costs them fatue points and if they fumble they will take damage and could possibly pass out and/or die.
Bronze vs iron vs Copper
Copper are the cheapest and easiest to get but have a -3 penalty to damage
Takes place at the beginning of a bronze age collapse, so iron weapons are rare but powerful,
Iron weapons deal one dice step+3 more damage than their bronze counterparts but have half the durability.
Steel weapons are nearly impossible to find and deal 2 dice steps +5 more damage and have Triple durability

Races
