Hej alla glada (och mindre glada)!

Min grupp kommer snart bege sig in i ett äventyr i Tarkas och en av spelarna ville spela en Mystiker som tillber andarna som identifieras i Tarkas-pdf:en. Hans mystiker kommer främst vara fokuserad på Ulgan och Oayan, så jag är i full färd med att pilla ihop mysterier till dessa. Ulgan har jag lyckats pilla ihop en massa roliga alternativ till, dock har jag svårt att komma på lika roliga/intressanta saker till Oayan. Har svårt att komma på saker annat än att förbättra/försämra vapen och rustningar (endast metalliska sådana) och möjligtvis att orsaka blödning och ge bonus mot Nedbrytning/Skräck (våld), och skulle gärna ha lite alternativ som INTE har fokus på 'combat' så att säga.

Så, i desperation vänder jag mig till er, fellow forumiter, i hopp om att någon kanske pillat med just detta tidigare, eller så kanske det finns någon som känner att just järn är superinspirerande :)

Please help?

Järn har ju enligt folktro haft krafter att skydda mot onda andar:

"Cold iron" is historically believed to repel, contain, or harm ghosts, fairies, witches, and other malevolent supernatural creatures. This belief continued into later superstitions in a number of forms:
* Nailing an iron horseshoe to a door was said to repel evil spirits or later, to bring good luck.
* Surrounding a cemetery with an iron fence was thought to contain the souls of the dead.
* Burying an iron knife under the entrance to one's home was alleged to keep witches from entering.

Kanske skulle kunna vara mysteriedämpande effekter, såsom att göra alstring av magi svårare, fördriva andar och spöken, och skapa en mer "jordnära" tillvaro.

För att Qaynan (som du absolut kan kalla Oayan om du vill, det är också snyggt) ska bli en gud med meningsfulla mysterier måste man nog först ta en funderare på vilka koncept som tarkierna associerar järn med, och sedan utgå från dessa koncept i skapandet av mysterierna.

Tänk delvis på självklara saker som vapen, hårdhet och beständighet, men också på symboliska och mentala saker som känslokyla, beslutsamhet, ogenomtränglighet, magnetism, dragningskraft, hanterandet och skapandet av föremål, den husliga härden, den skapande gnistan, människans makt över naturen, geotropi, nomotropi, pyrotropi, kryotropi.

Effekter som ger buffar till vapen (tex egenskapen Genomslag 5), magiska pansar, försvar mot demoner och skuggvarelser (cold iron etc), länka sig själv till föremål och därmed få buffar (typ Mhîmrättens bågskytte-mysterie som jag tidigare publicerat på forumet), härdeldar som håller illvilliga väsen borta, åkallande av föremål från Hyperuranien (idévärlden), manipulerande av viljestyrka, argumentationsförmåga och förmåga att trycka undan eller dölja sina känslor, är exempel på saker jag kan tänka mig att Qaynans mysterier hade kunnat göra.

Yes, tack Ymir och Siljestam, precis detta jag var ute efter! :D

Känns som jag varit inne på rätt område gällande 'tropier' iaf, och ni har definitivt gett mig superbra ideer för att pilla ihop lite intressanta alternativ till min spelare att välja mellan :)

En kul tvist med järn-aspekten skulle kunna vara något blodrelaterat? Beror väl lite på hur man vill tolka det :)

@Kiwok: Yes, har lite spells som har med blödning att göra just av den anledningen (+ att Oayan är en krigar-ande i min head-canon) :)

Efter lite trial and error har Ulgan och Oayan (eller Qaynan som han tydligen heter egentligen) båda ett par mysterier var. Kommer uppdatera tråden allt eftersom jag hittar på mer.

(VARNING: allt är på Engelska eftersom jag spelar med en massa Engelsmän).

En hel del är namnlösa och utan beskrivning atm eftersom fokus just nu ligger på att hitta på effekterna så ifall ni kommer på något coolt får ni gärna hojta :)

Har dessutom inte hittat något bra ord att översätta Moment till. Funderade ett tag på att använda 'element' men tänkte att det lätt kan misstolkas just för att det är för nära kopplat till de fyra elementen inom rollspel (speciellt fantasy). Om någon kommit på en bra översättning där skulle det verkligen uppskattas också! :D
