The Dark Eye: Difference between revisions

Line 42:

* [[Boisterous Bruiser]] The {{spoiler|late}} Duke of Meadows (Waldemar the Bear) is Aventurias standout example.

* [[Call a Hit Point a Smeerp]]: Mild but fairly literal-minded example. What characters and creatures actually have are 'life points'; 'hit points', while used, literally only refer to the base damage inflicted by an actual ''hit'', which may be reduced by armor and other factors before the remaining 'damage points' are finally deducted from the target's LP total.

* [[Captain Ersatz]]: ''The Dark Eye'' exists only because the publishers didn't have enough money to buy the ''[[Dungeons ~~and~~ Dragons]]'' license.

** They did have the money, but they preferred to spend it on an advertising campaign. Which worked out rather well.

* [[Card-Carrying Villain]]: [[Exclusively Evil|Almost anyone with a]] [[Deal with the Devil|pact]].

* [[Cast ~~From~~ Hit Points]]: Exists both in a socially acceptable way, by using ones own life force when all magic power is gone, as well as the socially unacceptable way of Borbaradianism, where anyone who learns this can cast any (borbaradian) spell he learns without any inherent magical talent, only using his life force to cast. {{spoiler|The additional downside of borbaradian spells is that they are all at least somewhat demonically tainted.}}

* [[Cast from Hit Points]]: Exists both in a socially acceptable way, by using ones own life force when all magic power is gone, as well as the socially unacceptable way of Borbaradianism, where anyone who learns this can cast any (borbaradian) spell he learns without any inherent magical talent, only using his life force to cast. {{spoiler|The additional downside of borbaradian spells is that they are all at least somewhat demonically tainted.}}

* [[Character Customization]]: Using a [[Point Buy]] system, and several templates. Characters are all based on the trinity of race, culture and profession. Characters are customized afterwards.

* [[Character Level]]: Older Editions (up to third) used classes, the current one is strictly skill-based and only lists levels as a measure of comparative power.
