How quickly does the transformation occur? For example, if a character in armor and a helmet sees guards and knows there's a bounty on their head, can they quickly change their face? Or does it require a lengthy ritual and is it not applicable on the go?

It is also worth considering that playing with a female character, in addition to altered stats, imposes certain restrictions on quests and locations. At the same time, it provides additional opportunities, but you will most likely feel the restrictions more strongly.

Will there be penalties for anime-style art?

They won't let you into the city, saying that your appearance doesn't meet local standards.

If it's the default, it's bronze.

What about silver? Bronze is for losers.

It's okay, they'll just add a few scratches with a blade, decorate your face with bruises and scrapes, and then you'll immediately look like a local and respected person.

One of the preconditions for the Bronze Age collapse.

Just like at the end of the Airesofir campaign, you'll be all pompous, proud, and valiant, only to be beaten by a bunch of noobs with better gear.
But the main thing is style.

You can use any equipment – weapons, armor, shields, ranged weapons – even without a specific skill; does the skill in this system only determine the possibility of receiving additional bonuses?

If the answer is “no, you cannot use equipment without the corresponding skill,” then how do armor pieces work? If the skill is not taken, can neither light nor medium armor be worn?

Throwing weapons require a skill, but there is no skill in this branch; does this mean you simply use them with their base stats, or not?

How is parrying calculated with a one-handed weapon in conjunction with a shield block?

Graf Orlov

All weapons have no penalties; access to special skills and specializations will only be restricted.

Maybe the same applies to armor.

Does triggering the "Mastery" skill from the armor skill tree count as a dodge for abilities that allow for counterattacks? What is the duration of the fire ring? Does the opponent take damage automatically, without the possibility of a defensive roll? Is the ring stationary or does it move with the caster? If there are opponents within a 5-cell radius around the caster, do they automatically take damage? Do characters who have completed their turn within the wall of fire take damage at the beginning of their next turn?

How quickly does the transformation take place? For example, there's a guy in armor and a helmet, he sees the guards and knows there's a reward for his head, can he quickly change his face? Or does it require a lengthy ritual and cannot be used on the fly?

It doesn't require a ritual, but it will take about a couple of minutes. In terms of gameplay, this means that it is impossible to react instantly, but if the player understands what he is doing in advance, nothing will prevent him.
Conditionally, "while passing through the door, the Warlock changed his appearance and entered the room as a completely different person" is not possible. "The Warlock, a skinny and bald little man, turned into a deserted alley, and emerged as a handsome young man with a striking red head of hair" is possible.

Can you use any gear - weapons, armor, shields, ranged weapons - even without a specialization? Does the specialization in this system only determine the possibility of receiving additional bonuses?

That's right, you just need the strength parameter. The only thing that imposes penalties on its own is heavy armor.

Author

Does ranged weapons require a skill, but there is no specialization in the branch, which means that you either just use it with the base stat, or not?

Yes. Ranged weapons receive a strength bonus, can be used while moving, and have additional effects tied to the item.

Author

How is parrying calculated with a one-handed weapon in conjunction with a shield block?

The priority is parry-block-dodge.

Author

Is the "Mastery" from the armor branch considered a dodge for abilities that allow counterattacks?

No. Except for the "tank," of course.

Author

What is the duration of the fire ring? Does the opponent take damage automatically, without the possibility of a defensive roll? Is the ring static or does it move with the caster? If there are opponents within a radius of 5 cells around the caster, do they automatically take damage? Do characters who have completed their turn in the wall of fire take damage at the beginning of their next turn?

3, I'll correct that. Yes. Static. They will. No.

Something else I remembered: for a counterattack, the opponent must be within striking distance. That is, if you take the second rank in the polearm skill, you become immune to counterattacks from one-handed weapons.
If the attack roll for an effect is three times greater than the defense roll, the success is automatic. This is done so that a "yo-ba" mage with 40 willpower does not try to cast the only mind control spell of the game, fails, and gets hit by a random guard.

Oh, no, I lied a little. You can't use a shield, it's tied to the first rank.
Maybe I'll give one more test build. Now I'll finish the religions and see the overall picture.
I still think I'll leave the magic accuracy check against the sum of checks so that both the melee fighter and the archer have a chance when there is a superiority in stats. The only thing is to tie magic accuracy to intelligence with +5 per point, maybe.

Can you cast a spell and move in the same turn?

Author

It's static.

Can a mage prematurely interrupt the effect of a spell if he suddenly wants to move from his position? Or does he have to either cast a fire shield on himself or stay put, muttering "This is fine"? If an opponent starts their turn inside a wall of fire, do they take damage when moving to other cells within the wall? Does the opponent take damage for moving through each such fire cell, or is the damage dealt only once, regardless of the number of cells passed through? If a character is pushed into a wall, do they take damage?

Added 3 minutes later
How permanent are the Necromancer's transformations? If the transformations are permanent, can a character change their age through transformations and, in essence, not know old age? Can transformation be used to cure chronic (and other) diseases or injuries? Can transformation be used to heal injuries and restore lost limbs? Can transformation be used to restore one lost limb at the cost of another?
