DougFungus' Rise of the RuneLords

Game Master pinvendor

Characters will level up at the GM's request. No XP will be handed out during this adventure

SIN & VIRTUE:
Rise of the RuneLords adds an extra mechanic to the game that keeps track of a players moral status. If a player commits a particularly Sinful or Virtuous act the GM will keep track of it in the form of a point system. In certain situations throughout the adventure, if a player has an outstanding amount of points in a specific Sin or Virtue they may be granted Bonuses or Penalties to that situation. Keep in mind that there is no wrong amount of points to have in any category. This is merely a representation of certain deeds a player has done and nothing more. Sin/Virtue & Alignment are two separate mechanics and do not play into each other. A player with a large amount of Sins is just as likely to be granted a bonus/penalty as one with a large amount of Virtues and vice-versa. Players are encouraged to call out their peers for acts in addition to GM ruling, while at the same time players also reserve the right to refute claims against them.
