So what? I still need to buy something. And I'm a combat unit, I need equipment.

You can loot their corpses.

Ilkesedar, who gets armor worth several thousand, sneeringly laughs at Arcomage.

May Vilinlia buy you something.

- I have a much better setup. What about you? Show off your hardware and let's play.

Lock, are you aware that he has the cheating perk? Are you sure you want to lose what is already not the biggest mercenary fee you have?
Even Alex lost to him, and Alex has luck in addition to cheating.

How do you know who that is?

Well, he looks just like that cheater. He also offers to play. He's also wearing a cloak. It's the same tavern.

And this guy completely ripped off Ment for 10, even though he refused to play at all.

Are you some kind of official?

And this guy, Ment, completely ripped him off for 10 grand, even though he refused to play.

/ Nah, less. Like 7, I think. But I like your attitude, Ples, let's keep increasing the amount of his debt! /

I thought it was around 9600.

Well, regarding the UNIQUE skill. Here's a draft with all the options I could come up with, and some of the ones suggested in the thread. +2 skills / +1 perk; +20 HP, +2 accuracy, reaction, speed, +3 willpower; Immunity to injuries and negative effects; The character always goes first, regardless of their own initiative; The character learns new things (from books or other characters) twice/three times faster during time skips; Representatives of various and illegal organizations are more willing to ally with the group / bonus to reputation; Positive effects applied to the character (/by the character) are twice as effective and do not dissipate until the end of the battle; Health +15%, passive health regeneration 15% per turn; Enhanced version of any skill or spell known to the character; +15% critical hit; 2 spells per turn, +2 attacks for one-handed weapons, bows, polearms, +1 attack for crossbows, two-handed weapons; The chance to inflict any negative effect on the target, whether it be paralysis or disarm, is twice as high; Further, more options for me, as the leader, because we might not be able to complete all five quests: Antimagic Dome (active skill). The character places a barrier in the selected area that instantly dispels all magical effects and prevents the use of magic within its boundaries; Inspiration (active skill, once per battle). For the next turn, all allied attacks will guaranteed hit the target / for the next turn, all allies will survive fatal wounds / dispels all negative effects applied to allies; Inspiring Aura (aura). Allies around the character receive bonuses to willpower, accuracy, and reaction / speed, ignoring the heavy armor restriction; Annihilation. Deals 10 units of pure energy damage to the selected opponent, bypassing all checks, shields, and resistances; The numbers are just estimates, I didn't put much effort into them. You can take a look and choose, or suggest something else, or I'll choose from this draft later, after consulting with Revan about the numbers, something like that.

The option with an enhanced skill/spell is good, yes. But you made the bare stat bonuses very small, because even a simple skill gives more. You could rework it into something like: "Non-Nihil characters receive the 'Blood Strength' perk, and Nihil characters receive a special leadership skill, which allows characters with the 'Blood Strength' skill to also reroll their failed rolls."

And you could also create an ability that gives a bonus to HP and allows all characters with the skill to share the HP pool. This could not only increase survivability but also allow for some impressive bloodshots. Or a skill that would plagiarize the effect of the ruby and prevent our roll results from being below a certain value.

- I have a hundred times more. What about you? Show me your stuff, and let's play.

The man dumped a thousand on the table. - Let's go?

-- Wow! Let me see... -- Ilkesedar stretched... [recognizing]

Ilkesedar determined that the chalice belonged to the same era as the Prism of Youth in Suentane. It could be assumed that the pyramid itself was built at the same time. However, the external style and writing differed noticeably from what was used by the followers of Elulu-Suen in ancient times.
According to Ilkesedar, blood was poured into this chalice, regardless of whose, then it was cooled with cold magic or heated with fire magic, after which the contents were drunk in one gulp. After that, the drinker underwent some changes or died.
