Game Code/Resolution System

Work in Progress: This file is a work in progress. Expect things to change often.

Resolution System

Elder Tale Online uses a Card-Based resolution system. This is largely used for combat encounters, but also enables larger-scale projects, such as building towns.

Each character has 2 Classes (A Primary and Secondary one) which combine into a Title - as well as a non-combat Profession.

Each Class provides Concepts, an abstract idea of the capability of a character to get things done. Typical cards will often require a certain Concept to be available on a class or character.

Classes

There are 12 classes in total:

• Acolyte - A class primarily focused more on Magical Healing, Utility Cards, and party play.
  • Common Concepts: Magical, Healing, Anti-Undead, Protection, Medicine
• Bard - A class primarily focused on Physical Healing, Utility Cards, and party play.
  • Common Concepts: Physical, Healing, Morale, Protection, Crowd Control
• Blademaster - A class primarily focused on Physical Damage, in a versatile way, with access to many types of weapons.
