===COMMON FOLK===
'''Dwarf'''[[File:IK.DwarfRhule.jpg|200px|right]]

Western Immoren has been the home of both men and dwarves since before written history, when only word of mouth and song recorded their deeds. Dwarves or the Rhulic-Folk in their own tongue are short (average around four and a half feet tall) but heavy set (average around 150 lbs.) humanoids with males wearing thick beards from a very young age. They settled in the northern mountains and assembled into a single nation long before Humans had risen from 'barbarism'.

''Starting Languages'': one-half Smarts die (one must be Rhule/Dwarf)


'''Elf, Ios'''[[File:IK.ElfIosan.jpg|200px|right]]

Nearly all of the elves of western Immoren hail from Ios. They are doomed people or so they believed. They live in a solitary kingdom, focusing inwardly on their plight, which is intimately tied to the slow death of their goddess Scyrah, the last of their once mighty pantheon. Iosan elves are tall and thin compared to humans, whom find these fey-folk as attractive and alluring.

''Starting Languages'': one-half Smarts die (one must be Ios/Elf)


'''Elf, Nyss'''[[File:IK.ElfNyss.jpg|200px|right]]

The elusive elves called the Nyss are even more mysterious then their distant Iosan kin. Very little is known of the ‘winter elves’ as they kept to their secrets viciously and see non-Nyss as invaders at best and as non-sentient and unworthy of even life at worst.

Goblins within the kingdoms are commonly separated into two groups, gobbers and borgin. Gobbers are widespread and a notable wayfaring folk found nearly anywhere humans are found. Borgin are more savage and tend to be tribal in nature who avoid humanity. Gobbers are intelligence and inquisitive and have taken to the technology of humanity.

''Starting Languages'': one-half Smarts (one must be Molgur/Gob)


'''Human'''[[File:IK.Humans.jpg|200px|right]]

The Iron Kingdoms are the lands of humanity, first and foremost. They are by far the most numerous folk in the region, and it is their struggles, wars, and history which have shaped this land. The humans of the Iron Kingdoms are a varied and hardy cross selection of cultures, all arising from ancient tribes of warlike peoples who have lived, loved, fought and died in the region since before recorded history. The bulk of their history is filled with endless strife and battle, and the relative calm of the last few centuries is unusual

'''Ogrun'''[[File:IK.ogrun3.jpg|200px|right]]

Ogrun are easily the largest f the enlightened (civilized?) folk, and while their society may be a bit backward and disorganized by others standards, they live by an inspiring code of honor. Most Ogrun have sworen their allengence to the dwarfs of Rhule but a few wander the southlands.

'''Big''' [-2] Ogrun are around 8 feet tall and weigh around 350 lbs. They suffers a -2 to all checks when using gear not built for their size. Increase the cost of armor, clothing, specialized firearm triggers, etc. by 100% to eliminate penalty.

'''Long Legs''' [1]: base Pace 8

'''Non-Arcane''' [-1] The spark of arcane magic was never granted to Ogrun. They cannot take any Arcane Background: Arcane edge. Also suffer a -1 to all Trait rolls to resist hostile Arcane magic and for others whom try to cast beneficial arcane magic on them (not divine magic).

''Starting Languages'': one-half Smarts die (one must be Molgur/Og)


'''Trollkin'''[[File:IK.Trollkin.jpg|200px|right]]

Savage trolls once roamed across the forests and plains of Western Immoren, but as time passed they assembled into tribes, which branched into clan families, and soon enough started trading and living among others. Trolls come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and eating habits. The latter is perhaps the greatest rationale that sets trollkins apart from other trolls, allowing the other folk of Western Immoren to experience their personalities firsthand without fear of becoming their next meal.

'''Clumsy''' [-2] Trollkin are not known for their grace and they suffer a -1 to Agility trait checks.

'''Heritage''' [2] most Trollkin have Arcane Resistance as a racial trait, but there are a few rare members of the race who start with one Arcane Background (and most are also albinos and are either Fell Callers or Sorcerers). Player’s choice.

'''Outsider''' (Minor) [-1] as Flaw, Trollkin generally stick with their own tribes and own kind.

'''Size +1''' [1] +1 to Toughness

'''Slow Regeneration''' [3] Trollkin have extraordinary healing abilities. Make a healing check every day (at no penalties) and can regrow or regain the use of a permanently damaged limb in 2d4+1 weeks or a minor appendage like a finger in 1d4 days.

'''Stout''' [2] base Vigor of a d6 and a maximum starting d12+1

'''Ugly''' [-1] as Minor Hindrance. Trollkin share the physical appearance of savage trolls. As such most other races find them unattractive if not monsterous in appearance. 

''Starting Languages'': one-half Smarts die (one must be Molgur/Thul)

===NEW HINDRANCES===
'''Cocky''' (Minor): some folk just don’t know when to brag and when to act. The character’s first round of combat must be spent announcing how great he is or the doom of those whom oppose him. This counts as an Action. To ignore this costs a Benny.

'''Garrulous''' (Minor): you are particularly loose with your money. Unless you spend a Benny, you lose 1d4+2 x 10% of any and all cash any time you are in town or similar place, lost gambling, drinking, giving to charity, etc. You lose this amount every week you are in town or similar place where you can lost it.

===NEW BACKGROUND EDGES===
'''Arcane Background: Arcane (Arcane Mechanik)''' [Novice, Smarts d6+, Arcane Mechanik d6+, Science d4+]: Some wizards focus their knowledge into creating Mechanik items.

Casting a Spell by an Arcane Mechanik requires a Full Round (no Pace, no Multi-Actions allowed) and cost 1 additional Power Point to cast and to maintain. You also suffer a penalty to spellcasting equal to the armor points you are wearing (see Wizards). You must have one hand free (or carrying an arcane focus in one hand) and be able to speak clearly to cast spell this way. When using a mechanika device (ala a Arcane Device, etc.) they can wear any armor they want without penalties and don't require an arcane focus or need to speak. They simply use the device as one normally would (so an arcane device with the Blast power probably looks like a pistol and must be pointed at targets, etc.). Only dwarves, gobber and humans may normally be Arcane Mechaniks.

[[File:IK.ArcaneMech.jpg|200px|right]]''SPELL NOTES''
: *- New Spell. See Magic.

'''Familiar''' [Novice, Arcane Background (Arcane), Spell casting skill must be d10+)]: the character has acquired an animal familiar. The creature gained is a dove, raven, cat, frog, small dog, nonpoisonous snake, etc. The mage and the familiar acquire the Loyal Hindrance with regard to each other. The familiar is not a slave, however, and can refuse to follow orders, especially ones which will cause it harm. Unless ordered otherwise, the familiar follows its natural instincts. For example, a cat familiar may stop to chase a mouse, take a quick nap, or sate its curiosity about a small hole, and it’s likely to hide during combat. The strong bond allows the familiar to resist the effects of beast friend. Both can understand each other’s speech. To others, the familiar is simply making animal noises — the mage speaks his normal language. The familiar is a Wild Card with respect to wounds and the Wild Die, but has no bennies. The mage may spend his for the familiar, however. The first time the mage takes this Edge it gains one of the powers below. Each additional time this Edge is taken, the mage can pick two of the powers below and the familiar gains +1 to its Toughness score. Each power may only be taken once. The mage may take this Edge only once each Rank.
*The mage can transfer wounds and Fatigue levels to or from his familiar as a free action.
*The mage may increase one attribute of his choice by one die, to a maximum of d12.
*The mage can use the familiar’s senses as if they were his own. This requires concentration. The maximum range for this ability is the mage’s Smarts x 100 yards.

== MAGIC ==
[[File:IK.Spellcaster.jpg|400px|right]]Magic is common within the Iron Kingdoms often mixing with the steam technology of the day. Spells often have common names (or Trappings) in Iron Kingdom. See individual Power Lists for common names. 

NOTE that for any '''''Arcane Background: Divine''''' any POWER with a Range listed as Smarts uses Spirits instead. 


<u>'''MODIFIED SPELLS'''</u>

The '''Boost/Lower Trait''' and '''Slow/Speed''' Powers automatically have the Aspect limitation on them (i.e. they must be purchased as seperate powers but cost 1 less PP to activate).

'''Summon Ally'''

This spell is heavily changed in the Iron Kingdoms setting. First it is dangerous to cast this spell and any Failure to cast it causes the caster a level of Fatigue and the full Power Point cost. Second a critical failure causes a Wound to the caster along with the other normal effects and costs them the full Power Point cost. Casters can only summon specific types of creatures -- Arcane Wizards (and sorcerers) can only summon Elementals, Divine Clerics Angelic beings or Infurnals and Divine Druids animals and beasts.

How this works is Arcane Wizards must be Veteran level to summon an Elemental (SWAE pg. 182) and can only add the Mind Rider (+1) Modifier. Divine Clerics must be Heroic in order to summon a divine Sentiel (SWAE pg. 169) with any Modifier, while Divine Druids can summon animal types at Novice level+ with the Mind Reader Modifier (+1). 
:Some examples of Animals that can be summoned by rank (found in the Beastiary SWAE pg. 180)...
::'''Novice''': Cat, Constrictor Snake, Dog/Wolf, Horse, Raptor (Birds of Prey), Swarm (Small)
::'''Seasoned''': Alligator/Crocodile, Bull, Dire Wolfs (include IK Argus), Giant Spider (mild posion), Shark, Swarm (Medium), Venomous Snake, War Horse
::'''Veteran''': Bear, Great-White Shark, Lion, Swarm (Large)
::'''Heroic''': Drake, Giant Worm, Werewolf (advanced versions call the Warp Wolf)
:: * ''Note'' that these are only basic ones. Additional Iron Kingdom beasts can be called. Ask the GM for stats.  


<u>'''TRAPPINGS'''</u>

Many Powers listed under each caster type included notes on Elemental Trapping. These are required to take for these Powers and each has a different game effect when the Power is used.
: * '''Acid''' – a raise on a hostile spell casting check damages the target’s armor worn, reducing it by one Armor Point in the location where the spell struck (torso by default). If any of the damage dice Ace the target will suffer 1d4 acid damage per Ace on the following round. If used on a Barrier or such (Wall of Acid, etc.) it deals 2d6 damaged to any melee attacker against the wall.
: * '''Cold''' – a raise on s hostile spell casting check causes the target to treat all movement as Difficult (2” per 1” moved) for one round per raise. If any of the damage dice Ace the target requires a Vigor check (-1 per extra damage die that Aced) or suffer a level of Fatigue. This recovers after one hour of rest. If used on a Barrier (such as Wall of Ice) add +1 to the hardness and targets that make melee attacks against it require a Vigor check or suffer a level of Fatigue (this fatigue recovers with 5 minutes of rest).
: * '''Electrical/Lightning''' – metal armor counts as two Armor Point less verse electrical damage. With a raise on a hostile spell casting check the target is Distracted and Vulnerable until the end of its next turn. If used as a Barrier (such as Wall of Lighting) cause 2d6 damage to any melee attack against it with the metal armor restriction to this damage.
: * '''Fire''' – a raise on a hostile spell casting check catches the target on fire. A target on fire is Distracted and takes 2d6 fire damage each round at the beginning of its turn. To put itself out requires a Agility roll (-2 due to the Distracting effect of being one fire) and an Action. Rolling on the ground adds +2 to this check and immersion in water automatically extinguishes the fire. If used as a Barrier (Wall of Fire) it deals 2d6 damage to any melee attacker against it.
: * '''Light/Sunlight''' – a raise on a hostile spell casting check cause a dazzle affect in the target whom suffers a -2 to all checks that require sight until the end of its next turn. If any of the damage dice also Aced the target requires a Vigor check (-1 per extra dice that Aces) or be Blind (-4 to all visual based checks and Vulnerable) until the end of its next turn. Certain creatures are extra vulnerable to light powers.
: * '''Sonic/Sound''' – a raise on a hostile spell casting check causes the target to be deafened (can’t hear) which makes the target Distracted and Vulnerable until the end of its next turn. If used as a Barrier (as Wall of Sound) any melee attack must make a Vigor check or be Distracted and Vulnerable until the end of its next round.
: * '''Necrotic/Death''' - a raise a hostile the spell casting check causes any targets to suffer one level of Fatigue also (recover in one hour). The spell caster can spend an +2 PP (after the attack is resolved) to regain a Wound or level of Fatigue if the hostile spell caused either (the PP only 'heals' the caster one or the other but he can spend 4 PP to regain a level of each). Cannot be used as a Barrier.  
: * '''Stone/Earth''' – a raise on a hostile spell casting check knocks the target prone. Targets require an Agility or Strength check (-1 per Ace on any damage dice) or drop any held objects in the hands that require an Action to pick back up. If used on a Barrier (Wall of Stone, etc.) it adds +3 to the barriers rating automatically.
: *'''Water''' – a raise on a hostile spell casting check knocks the target prone. Targets require an Agility or Strength check (-1 per Ace on any damage dice) or drop any held objects in the hands that require an Action to pick back up. If used on a Barrier (as Wall of Water) will automatically extinguish any fire or neutralize any acid it touches and within 1” of its effects.
: *'''Wind''' – a raise on a hostile spell casting check knocks the target prone. Targets require an Agility or Strength check (-1 per Ace on any damage dice) or drop any held objects in the hands that require an Action to pick back up. If used on a Barrier (as Wall of Wind) will automatically dispense any air born toxins or smokes within ½ the casters Smarts die in game” from the barrier. Targets making melee attacks the wall must also make a Agility or Strength check or be knocked prone.


<u>'''NEW POWERS'''</u>

'''Analyze Foe'''
*'''Rank''': Novice
*'''Power Points''': 1 – 2
*'''Range''': Smarts x 2
*'''Duration''': 5 rounds
*'''Trappings''': Mystical sense, spiritual advice, gestalt knowledge.
''Analyze Foe'' grants insight into your foe. Knowledge is power. Being able to judge the strength of a foe before engaging him in combat can be highly advantageous. The character makes an arcane skill roll opposed by the target’s Spirit. On a success, he gains a +1 bonus to Trait rolls to directly affect the target, and the target suffers a –1 penalty to Trait rolls to directly affect the caster. With a raise, the effect is increased to +2 and –2 for both. In addition, for 2 Power Points, a success allows the caster to learn of a single Immunity, Invulnerability, or Weakness of the target (if one exists), and a raise allows the knowledge of two.

'''Legerdemain'''
*'''Rank''': Novice
*'''Power Points''': 1
*'''Range''': Smarts
*'''Duration''': Instant
*'''Trappings''': Mimicking action, briefly summoned spirit, astral bi-location.
''Legerdemain'' allows the character to perform a single action at range he would normally be capable of doing in person. If the action would require a Trait roll, then the caster rolls the lower of that Trait or his arcane skill to both activate the power and determine the results of the action. If the action does not require a Trait roll, then his arcane skill is used normally. Casting legerdemain is a normal action, but the action performed through the use of it is considered a free action (existing free actions like speaking are unchanged). However the caster is still limited to not duplicating the same action in a round, so it is impossible to cast another spell via legerdemain. The power does not create or duplicate the effects of any gear or magical effects upon the caster, but in all other ways, the action is treated exactly as if the caster were performing the action himself at the location. i.e. a Fighting attack does his normal unarmed Strength damage, even if the caster is holding a dagger with smite on it.

'''Remote Viewing'''
*'''Rank''': Veteran
*'''Power Points''': 2
*'''Range''': Special
*'''Duration''': 5 rounds
*'''Trappings''': Astral projection, clairvoyance, clairaudience, crystal ball.
''Remote Viewing'' allows the user to able to gather sensory information they would not normally have access to. Typically this includes sight and sound, but may incorporate any two senses depending on the power's trappings. The hero need only make a Spellcasting check to gather data from any point within one mile as though he were standing at that point. Once an observation point is chosen, the character can concentrate to maintain and move it on their turn, imposing a multi-action penalty.
:'''Additional Effects''': for each additional +1 power point, the power triple the range of the power (3 miles, 9 miles, 27 miles, etc.)

'''Suggestion'''
*'''Rank''': Novice
*'''Power Points''': 2
*'''Range''': Smarts
*'''Duration''': Instant
*'''Trappings:''' Mind Trick, Foolishness
''Suggestion'' allows you to make unbelievable suggestions that do not threaten the target. Make an opposed Power skill use vs. Spirits roll, on success the target believes your lie or follows your suggestion like it was his idea. You can also make a small illusion that distracts your target. Make a Power skill test, on success your target is distracted for one round and you may attempt a Stealth roll even if he was watching you before or you can attempt to get ‘The Drop’ on him. Target gets a Notice (-2 if you scored a raise) to avoid surprised.

They learn a new formula each time they raise their skill level and they can learn others through study. With access to a formula this takes 2 full days of study per Rank of the compound (i.e. Bile Brew is a Seasoned anti-toxin that takes 4 full days of study to learn). The basic cost of a compound formula is 50 copper for a Novice, 200 copper for a Seasoned, 500 copper for a Veteran, 1,000 copper for a Heroic and 5,000 copper for a Legendary. Characters generally cannot learn formula compounds of a higher rank then they are.

An Alchemist with a lab can create these at ½ listed cost (ingredients, etc.) in 1d4+1 hours per Rank (i.e. Seasoned takes 2d4+2 hours, Veteran 3d4+3 hours, etc.). An Alchemist can generally work on such items on average 8 hours a day. Working 12 hours causes a level of Fatigue (only regained after a full night of rest). 

Critical Fumbles on one’s Science check either ruin all the ingredients or with the GM call cause explosions or nauseous choking gas releases, etc. These will generally cause 2d6 damage in a Small Burst Template for Novice disasters, 3d6 damage in a Medium Burst Template for Seasoned disasters, 4d6 damage in a Large Burst Template for Veteran rank or higher. Whether it’s a gas release or explosion depends on the compounds being mixed (GM’s call).

== MAGICAL DEVICES ==
Elves are the only folks that practice and understand the process of the ancient art of crafting traditional magical items one would find in your typical fantasy setting. Divine spellcasters also use this method but only rarely in the Iron Kingdoms. This process often takes years though and only the long lived and patient people could ever master it. Humans and most other races use Mechanikal devices which are much faster, cheaper  and easier to create. This form of magic runs on arcane batteries or turbines but things like steamjacks also require coal or another energy source to help power them.

A Elf character or Aracne Background: Divine with the '''''Artificer''''' edge would be able to craft magical devices but this takes x5 times as long as creating an arcane rune device and cost at least three times as much.


[[File:IK.RuneBlade.jpg|350px|right]]'''''RUNE PLATING ITEMS''''' – normal magic item creation in the Iron Kingdoms is rare and special. Dwarf, Human and Gobber magic users types instead create magic powered by an Arcane Battery and etched with a Rune Plate.

Anyone with an Arcane Background (Arcane Magic) and the Mechanika skill can create the following, depending on their rank. An arcane casters knows ½ her Meckanika skill in batteries and/or plate types (and/or Steamjacks, see Steamjacks below). They learn a new one whenever they raise their skill and can also through studying a formula. This takes 4 days per Rank (Novice 4, days, Seasoned 8 days, etc.) of complete devoted study, generally in a Mechankia Workshop or Library. The basic cost of a mechanika formula is 150 copper for a Novice, 500 copper for a Seasoned, 1,000 copper for a Veteran, 2,500 copper for a Heroic and 15,000 copper for a Legendary. Characters cannot learn formula compounds of a higher rank then they are.

If they know the mechanika formula, a mechanika can create one within a Mechanika or Rune-Plate Workshop for ½ the cost with a week of dedicated work per Rank (Novice a week, Seasoned two weeks, etc.). Critical Failure always destroys all the material and may deal 1d6 x50 copper of damage to the Workshop per Rank (2d6 for Seasoned, etc.). A crafter can gain the aid of non-Arcane mechanika craftsmen to lower the time require. One skilled mechanika will reduce the time to 6/days per Rank, two skilled mechanika reduce the time to 5/days per rank and four or more skilled mechanika reduce the time to 4/days per rank. Generally Min Skill of Mechanika d6 earn around 246cp a week (or 35cp a day).   

Rune Plate magic requires Power Points to active and maintain, just like a power. A spell caster can use their own Power Points or an arcane battery anyone can use a magical item.


<u>'''STANDARD ARCANE BATTERIES'''</u>

Arcane Batteries and Turbines can be recharged by any Arcane Spell Caster pumping 2 personal Power Points to recharge 1PP into a battery. They can also be recharged at a charging station in most industrial city. This normally takes 15 minutes per Power Point and cost 10 copper each PP. Also see Field Chargers.

Most Rune Plate equipment may only have one Arcane Battery attacked to it at one time unless noted in the description of the items.

An Arcane spell caster can use its own Power Point to fuel these affects of a Rune-Plating magical item or the battery (if included, for prices of items below most do not include a battery unless shown in the description). Non-Arcane casters require a battery to power these devices.

== STEAMJACKS ==
[[File:IK.SteamJack.jpg|400px|left]]Within the Iron Kingdoms setting the Steamjack or iron and steel semi-sentient constructs that run on coal and magic, are incredibly important in many aspects of life. Many are used as loaders, haulers and moves in urban areas especially on the docks and in the heavy industrial industries. They are also employed on the battlefield. Not as heavily as the troopers themselves but even mercenary armies often have one or two in their arsenal. Steamjacks are semi-sentient and recognize their owners (based on their Smarts and how new they are). The respond to voice commands, depending on how complex. They have the effect of the Loyal Hindrance and Vow (Major, follow masters commands) Hindrances and act on the same initiative as their controller. Over time as they “grow” they can develop new Hindrances and personality quirks which is why they are occasional memory wiped. This resets them to their basic model standards (losing any acquired traits that they gain naturally but it makes them easier to deal with). Memory wiping requires a deactivated steamjack and a successful separate Repair and Science skill checks and 1d4 hours of work.

For simplicity Steamjacks are based on Robots from the '''''Science Fiction Companion''''' (pg. 36-38) except they run on Coal instead of Energy. A basic unarmored Jacks requires 10lbs of Coal per hour at Size 1 (minimum size) and an additional +10lbs of Coal an hour for each additional Size over this (see below). A standard Jack has a Coal Hopper feed for 3 hours worth of Coal it burns an hour. Certain modifiers add so much weigh to the Jack that it requires extra coal to burn. See Mods for examples but these also automatically increase the Hooper Size. Note that the Coal Hobber and Tools and Weapons carried count towards the Jack Encumbarnce. 

The base Jack costs 5,000cp (20,000cp if Wild Card) and can have up to 5 points of Jack Modifiers. It has 5 attribute Trait points and 15 skill points. Jacks also have a Base Pace of 4 (Run d3+1) and all have a Minimum starting Size of 1 (and +1 to Toughness and +1 step to Strength). Each attribute point and/or every two skill points that are dropped decrease the cost by 500cp (minimum cost 1,500cp) and add one additional Mod slot. Jacks are automatically Constructs and have Environmental Weakness (Water) meaning they can be shut down if immersed in water and take +4 damage from water based attacks.

Due of their basic construction, non-Heavy weapons do not apply their Armor Penetration to Steamjack armor even if they can still deal damage to it. Heavy Armor still requires Heavy Weapons to damage it. Also Jacks can Carry (load) +1 Step based on their Strength (+2 with the Brawny Edge). For Strength over a d12 add +30lbs to the base total per +1 (i.e. d12+1 can carrying 150lbs, d12+2 can carry 180lbs, etc.) 

Steamjacks come in three basic Size catigories (not so much SWAE size): Light Jacks range from Size 1-2, Medium Jacks are Size 3-4 and Large Jacks are Size 5-6.

As with Rune-Plating Magical creation anyone with an Arcane Background (Arcane) and the Mechanika skill can learn to craft a Jack. This requires the crafter to be of Veteran rank and counts as one of the Mechanika creations (see above) and they a Formula for the specific Jack size and type (typically costs 1,000cp x Size. A Combat Codex requires a seperate Foruma that costs 1,500cp). Basic construction requires a Jack Workshop and 4 weeks for a Light Jack, 6 weeks for a Medium Jack or 8 weeks for Large Jacks. Also add +2 days for every Mod added. Cost in raw materials is ½ the base Jack's cost. A Critical Fumble on this skill check causes a lost all base materials and a possible 1d20 x 100cp in damage to the Workshop. The creator/crafter can be aided by non-Arcane Mechaniks. One additional worker drops contruction time by 1 week. Two workers drop the time by 2 weeks (mininum 1 week). Four additional workers drop the time by 4 weeks (minimum 1 week). Finally eight additional workers will drop the time by 6 weeks (minimum 1 week). Workers of course except to be paid. Generally Min Skill of Mechanika d6 earn around 246cp a week (or 35cp a day).
