Firstly. Secondly, you can sometimes control him, if the character's abilities aren't too complex. Thirdly, well, we'll definitely have some fun on the weekend!

Biography:
***
A young hunter relentlessly pursued a northern deer, but he couldn't catch it. Just when it seemed he was about to overtake his prey, the deer unexpectedly changed direction and disappeared. Looking around, the hunter realized that, lost in the excitement of the chase, he had wandered into unfamiliar tundra forests. At first, he wanted to shout out of frustration, but he restrained himself. He shouldn’t attract the attention of local predators… As soon as he thought this, a white wolf suddenly emerged from behind the thick trunk of a snow-covered spruce tree. At first, he was frightened and grabbed his crossbow. But for some reason, the wolf didn't show any aggression. The predator's gaze was calm and even seemed intelligent. Shaking its head, it moved in a direction known only to itself, as if inviting him to follow. Overcoming his stupor and surprise, the hunter followed it. After a quarter of an hour, he saw the walls of his native settlement. When he turned around looking for his savior, there was no trace of him.

Eyvind woke up early in the morning and, taking with him the skins of small rodents he had recently obtained, went to see his old friend Sven. They had been friends for a long time, so he could count on a fair price for his goods. But as soon as he left his old hut, he saw two hunters dragging a wolf tied to a pole. It was the same wolf that had saved him many years ago.
- Listen, you must be tired of carrying it. Let me buy it from you," Eyvind said to one of the hunters.
- You’re right. It weighs quite a bit. I am willing to sell it to you for 350 silver linears."
- Deal."
Handing over a bag of money to one of the hunters, ignoring their surprised looks, he took out his hunting knife and cut the ropes binding the wolf.
- Now we're even," he whispered quietly, watching the wolf run into the forest.
After this, he went to his friend and, telling him about what had happened, sold the furs.
- Eyvind, listen, I think you've stayed here too long. I heard from an acquaintance that there is a lot of interesting work for strong guys like you in "Lunaia", which is located in Gaddar.
- I have never heard of such an organization. Although lately there hasn't been much game around, maybe you are right…
- Go take a look; my intuition tells me that you won't regret it... - Sven winked slyly - although, of course, the risk is high, but life in our lands is not safe anyway. They say that northern barbarians are preparing another raid..."
They talked about many things that day. After this conversation, Eyvind, taking all the essentials with him, set off on his journey. Sven gave him one of his best crossbows as a parting gift and wished him good luck.

Rogue

Assassin. Attacking unsuspecting characters kills them. x2

By the way, as far as I remember, Medzh was also planning to participate.

A couple of questions.

Critical Failure
When a character rolls the minimum value (0) while performing an action, it results in a critical failure. The consequences can vary from situation to situation.

And what is the range of values in general?

Light Armor. Damage -25%

Medium Armor. Damage -25%

Not fair. And also, add a blessed two-handed weapon for Ignatius. At first, I thought it might be too powerful, but now I think it's okay, otherwise, it feels like I'm not using him enough.

What is the range of values, anyway?

As before, the maximum is the parameter's value.

That's not fair.

It's impractical to make distinctions for everything below Heavy units (at least at the start), as it takes a lot of time and there's not much point. And in any case, there's no penalty there, and the bonus is the same, so you could say it's fair.

Also, give Ignatius a blessed two-handed weapon. At first, I thought it might be too powerful, but now I think it's okay, otherwise it feels like I'm not doing enough damage.

Okay.

Rules
1. Assassin.
- Only works on targets who haven't seen the assassin. You can't suddenly draw a bow and shoot an arrow in their eye while talking to a character or standing in front of them.
- In combat (the character's first shot, provided they haven't been seen before), you need to actually hit a moving target.
2. Critical damage. Maximum cap: 100%.
3. Counterattack. Maximum cap: 100%.
4. Disarm. Maximum cap: 75%.
5. Paralyze. Maximum cap: 75%.

9. Purification does not protect against mental enslavement (Teios) and some similar effects.
10. Magic Barrier reduces the actual damage after all types of resistance have been applied.
11. The difficulty of dispelling depends on the strength of the magic of the one dispelling and the one who created the spell. It can be applied to both people and objects.

13. To use seals, you need paper talismans.
14. The player does not participate in combat and is primarily focused on gambling.

They do not work if the Spirit Arrow has been used.
22. Different resistances do not stack; instead, they work as "levels" of protection.

The start is planned for around ~~two weeks.

I'll start soon.

1. Assassin.
- Only works on those who don't see the assassin. You won't be able to suddenly draw a bow and shoot him in the eye while talking to a character or standing in front of him.

Ah, so it won't be possible to kill the local Lutiel, I understand...

We'll just have to politely ask him to turn around ;).

Just politely ask him to turn away ;).

Close your eyes and open your mouth.

-- Hey, look what's over there!

(((It would be better if a hit to the eye caused instant death, regardless of all resistances and the presence of the Assassin skill.

Unrealistic.

-- Hey, look over there!

- Hey, Lutiel, look – there’s a battle in the arena!
