Maven RP Skill Updates

Feb Feast 2025

Maven represents diverse ways of learning and wisdom drawn from a multitude of experiences:

• The seasoned travels of a Civen merchant: Navigating foreign markets and cultures.
• The meticulous craft of a Terran artisan: Mastering a skill through dedicated practice and refinement.
• The cunning of streetwise thieves: Acquiring knowledge through observation, deception, and resourcefulness.
• The ancient lore passed down through generations by Dellin shamans: Honoring tradition and embracing the wisdom of ancestors.
• The insights of any individual who has dedicated themselves to a particular field of study: Learning from experts and embracing a lifelong pursuit of knowledge.

Maven is the sole source of uncommon languages outside of character creation or other roleplaying skills. How the player decides they learned these languages is up to them. It could involve studying ancient texts, learning from travelers, or even experiencing a divine revelation.

Essentially, Maven reflects a character's individual journey of knowledge acquisition. How they gain these skills is a deeply personal and character-driven experience.

• Maven role-playing skill page created.
  • Maven is the Scholar role-playing skill renamed. There are no changes to the actual abilities.
• Mavens at level 3 (proficient) and higher can craft any basic ritual with a custom incant during preproduction. This costs 4 crafting points and the incant must meet a minimum of 16 words. Logistics has the right to veto any incant they deem unfit.
  • This was implemented during play in 2024 and is listed here for reference.
• Specified that mavens cannot modify epic-quality tomes, even if the tome only has one school of magic.
  • This is to give logs/the GM's some space to make cool and thematic items for players.
• Specified that mavens can only craft spells into tomes that are of equal or lesser level than their Maven level.
  • This has always been the case, but was only called out in the tome crafting rules. It was added here for clarity.

January 2024

• Level 2 mavens and higher may now change 1 basic ritual component/ level of Maven.
  • Previously was a flat 2 basic ritual components at level 2, with an additional 2 basic ritual components at level 4.
