Character Name - Name your character that is doomed to die

Each class comes with things you'll need to start your trudge through this fetid world.

Once you see a Class you think is interesting, using Omnisearch in game, typing in the Class you like in the search field, then sharing the resulting Article to the Journal will help you find the following information:

Your class may actually give you an attack specific to the class as well.

Randomize, choose, or create your own origin story for the character in the field below the "Class" field.

Randomize, choose, or create your own Class Feature for the character in the field below the background/origin field.

These Features will often times give you special actions you can take during a game specific to the, almost subclass like, character you are playing. These Features can be anything from a new attack/weapon/item/spell scroll/animal given, a skill you're particularly good at (ultimately lowering the Difficulty to pass certain rolls), or a table of possible items you can craft.

Your Class will tell you to roll a certain die to determine your starting Armor, up to a d4. (and give you any restrictions you might have on certain types of Armor) You can also spend any starting gold on grabbing some armor if your GM allows it.

The heavier your Armor the less likely you are to dodge an attack, but have larger damage reduction if hit. (often times negating the damage altogether)

You may start with a Shield while rolling your Starting Equipment or you can buy one for 20 Silver. Shields function in two ways:

Each of the 4 Abilities are rolled with 3d6 and then a Modifier is created with the resulting total. Place the Modifier in the fields next to each Attribute.

Before matching a Modifier to your roll, don't forget to add or subtract numbers to the initial roll depending on our Class selected.

After improving a character, an Ability can never exceed +6 or -3.

Example: 3d6 + 2 for Strength

Don't forget to check the Class you've chosen for situationally specific rolls when dealing with Abilities. (i.e. All normal Agility tests are reduced by 2, going from DR12 to DR10)

Terrible Traits, Broken Bodies, Bad Habits, and Troubling Tales can all be either randomized, chosen, or created as you see fit for the character!
​
​Terrible Traits, Broken Bodies and Bad Habits are meant as a good roleplaying aid on how to play your character, while Troubling Tales is meant to help build your character story a little more and even give your GM something to add into the story as a plot hook, drama, or however they'd like.

This field is for when those pesky scrolls don't go as planned and (if the GM wills it) on a Fumble (natural 1), can ask you to randomize an effect in this field. The game plays out with the result.

Description

Here you can place a description of your character if you'd like. You can also toggle this portion of the sheet to be visible to anyone who chooses to view your character while in the game if the "Public Description" toggle is 'on/green'.

The number of Omens you have to start with are, again, stated in the Class you've chosen as a die roll (normally either a d2 or a d4).

When used, Omens can turn the Player's bad luck around, or possibly give them a better chance of survival and success. You can use an Omen to do one of the following:

Omens can be gained back after at least 6 hours of rest, at which time the player rolls their Class's starting Omen die again to gain back that amount of Omen's back. If not playing a Class from the book, roll d2)

Your Hit Points are calculated as Toughness + a certain die roll according to Class. You can start this game with 1HP, but no less.

Everyone rolls a Presence + d4 every morning (minus Classes specifying they can't use Powers/Scrolls) This is the amount of times you can use Powers for the day. (You'll find an Action named "Powers Available Today" in every player's 'Action' tab)

For Example:

You have 1 Scroll, and roll 3 Power uses. You can use that Scroll up to 3 times that day.

You have 4 Scrolls, and roll 2 Power uses. You can use any 2 of those 4 Scrolls that day.

Here is where you place the Silver you've been given according to your chosen Class. If not using a Class provided, roll 2d6 x 10 to get your starting amount.

Weapons, much like Armor, are decided as your Class has you roll a certain die to determine your starting Weapon, up to a d10 (d6 if you start with a scroll and not using the Classes provided).

If you don't have any weapon at all, you can still attack Unarmed - d2 damage, while Improvised Weapons - d4 damage

Scrolls contain spells called Powers. The number of scrolls you start with is determined by your Class and if you happen to roll a scroll on your Starting Equipment tables. You can use either the Randomize Clean Scroll or Randomize Unclean Scroll Action in Alchemy to quickly set you up with a Scroll to use.

Everyone starts with a waterskin, d4 days worth of food and items you roll for using the following three tables to determine the remainder of your gear. Roll once per table:

D6

D12

D12

Your Game Master will decide when it's time for you characters to get better/level up to improve themselves.

When you Get Better, 3 things happen:

(You'll find 3 Actions named "Getting Better - ..." to assist in quick character improvements. You can find these Actions by clicking the Add Action button under the 'Action' tab for Players)

Dice rolling in MÖRK BORG are considered Tests. Tests involve rolling a single d20 and adding or subtracting your Ability Modifier from the result of the die roll.

To succeed in a test, you will roll against a Difficulty Rating and attempt to roll at or over the Rating (Shown as the - Ability to be used - then the letters DR - then the number rating of the Difficulty)
​

For Example - Agility DR12

All Normal rolls (not easy, not too hard) are made at DR12. More than that number is considered more difficult and tests less than 12 are easier the lower it becomes.

The GM rarely ever makes rolls in MÖRK BORG (none in combat). If they ever need to roll for a creature, they will roll a raw d20 (no Ability bonuses) against the desired DR.

When the PC's first encounter an NPC that isn't immediately thirsty for blood, an NPC Reaction roll can be made to determine their "reaction" to the PCs. (You'll find a GM Action named "NPC Reaction" under the 'Tools' tab)

Roll 1d6

1-3 Enemies go first

4-6 PCs go first

Once it's the PC's turn, Agility + d6 will determine each individual's Initiative within the group (You'll find an Action named "Individual Initiative" in every player's 'Action' tab)

During a Round you have enough time to move around a normal-sized room, make a single Attack/use a Power/throw an Item, and a chance to Defend against incoming Attacks. There are normally 10 rounds in a minute.

Movement is purposely left up to the GM to decide. The GM will say whether or not what you want to do is possible within the range you are currently. On average, you can move around a normal-sized room with ease in a single turn.

Test Strength DR12 (unless GM says otherwise; can sometimes be modified by the creature being fought)

Test Presence DR12 (unless GM says otherwise; can sometimes be modified by the creature being fought)

Test Agility DR12 (unless GM says otherwise or type of Armor being worn; can sometimes be modified by the creature being fought or Medium/Heavy Armor)

When the fight isn't going the enemies way, some enemies will need to roll Morale to see if fighting to the death is worth it. (You'll find a GM Action named "Enemy Moral" under the 'Tools' tab)

Three conditions could cause your enemies to roll Moral:

To test Morale, roll 2d6 and compare to the enemies stated Morale value. If the rolled total is above the creature's Morale value, roll a follow up d6 with the following results:

If the creature does not have a Morale value, the creature fights to the bloody end.

Everyone rolls a Presence + d4 every morning (minus Classes specifying they can't use Powers/Scrolls) This is the amount of times you can use Powers for the day. (You'll find an Action named "Powers Available Today" in every player's 'Action' tab)

As long as you have a Power use left for the day, you can attempt to use a Scroll to cast a Power.

To use a Scroll/Power - Test Presence DR12

Every time before dealing out damage, whether against you or an enemy, don't forget to reduce the damage by a character/creature's Armor or Shield.
​
There are no modifiers added to a weapons stated damage dealt.

Without food or water, no HP is restored while resting and after two days of Starving, PC loses d4 HP per day.

An Infected creature does not benefit from resting at all and instead loses d6 HP per day.

If HP is taken down below zero by an attack, your character is DEAD.

If taken down to exactly 0 HP, you are considered Broken and might not yet be dead...maybe...

Once Broken, roll d4:

There are several ways to heal damage in MÖRK BORG:

Every day at dawn the GM will roll a die (die size depending on how long before the end of the world is agreed upon by players and GM)
​
On a 1, a Misery is rolled and the world changes accordingly. The same Misery cannot befall the world more than once. (You'll find a GM Action named "Calendar of Nechrubel" under the 'Tools' tab)

To signify the end of the world (game) and on the 7th Misery, you will always activate:
​
​7:7 All praise Yetsabu-Nech, the underworld's nightmare, the black disk which it stands before the sun! All praise Verhu, beaming with delight! All praise the fire which burns all! And the darkness shall swallow the darkness.
