Core Weapons 101

How to obtain
A core weapon is granted to your character upon creation, based on your class and starting equipment will base the starting materials you get to choose from, 3 for a meele weapon, 2 for a ranged weapon. you will only gain one (or a set) Core weapon at the start of your playthrough, if this weapon is destroyed,sold, lost or stolen you cannot get a new one, you may be able to retrieve a stolen or lost weapon or repair a destroyed one depending on the details.

How to upgrade
Throughout the game your characters will find or purchase more weapon materials these can be full parts or scraps.
if you find a full part such as an iron blade you only need to find a forge and pay the smith to use it on your weapon, higher grade materials require higher levels of smiths.
you will find many scraps of materials, it takes 3 scraps of the same material to forge 1 weapon part and this weapon part is random.
There is a very rare and special material called Starfite. this material when forged onto your weapon won't replace the part but instead double all bonuses that part provides. for example forging a starfite core on a Silver core will turn its damage die from a D6 to 2D6

Wielding a core weapon
The Blueprint you chose will determine its damage type and wielding capabilities. all shown in the file above.

Proficiency Penalty When using a Core weapon with any tier two materials your proficiency bonus will he halved (Rounded down) for all hits made with the weapon, ability score bonus and other skill bonuses are applied as normal.

What even is this ramble?

Delta is in desperate need of power to save her home of “The Hollow Clifs” from the cultists take over. she makes a deal with professor stem that leads her to gathering up a stitched together crew and set sail for the new world, knowing full well of thier true destination.

Delta arrives almost 5 months before the player characters, during this time she makes friends and allies imcluding sealing the tasks ahead with professor stem and always being by Valefor's side when he needs it.

Valefor wants nothing more then for the capital and all they stand for to be erased from Exilis so that he, the other sages, civilians and his mother can live in peace.
The Virus isn't a bad thing when done correctly to the right people it creates us sages, its when its giving to those unworthy that it horrible mutants them, the capital and their stupid ideals went too far and now we sages have to try and keep them naive to Livion's true intentions.

Delta starts hunting down the beholders of the land just as the player characters show up.

by the time the player characters have entered Exilis 60 years have already passed in the mortal realm.

Delta tries to cross Stem, growing attached to her crew and now having the harvester she tries to challenge him, but she is way out of her depth and has no idea how to wield the old god, she is captured.

The party rescue her and take her back to the surface, completely missing the deepest secrets of the tower and ironically, in leaving they have opened the doors for professor stem to work without the fear of being discovered, as well as this Delta has thrown off any sort of suspicions if the part had any.

Note from Delta to Stem

So if i get to this place called Exilis, there i can obtain power to free my home?

Yes dear of course, i am many things but i am not a lire, especially to thy lady Valour's Niece.

But why do i need to bring people with me? can't you just let me in yourself?

Ha Ha, Dear if it was that easy i wouldn't even bother contacting you. However those are my requests, you will need a fair crew to make the journey either way. Are you ready to sacrifice other people for your gain?

The Party survived the sea spire, disclosing information to Valour and learing of Delta's god in her pocket. however for some strange reason they seem not to push for further questions,

Zontatar tells Valour of her true intentions, bringing saddness to Valour as she knows that nothing can be done for Zonatar's wife now, and its all Delta's fault

Delta joins the party for a bit, curious about them and want to get to know them for at least a little bit before her secrets are revield.

As the Watcher is dead, the princess is gone and Parker has been disposed of the party are left with the task of trying to return home.

The watcher being dead has shattered a seal and so strengthened the nameless and made Delta/ Stem's job much easier.

Delta sets off to kill the last two beholders.

Valefore sets out to wander after putting Parker to his cruel fate.

Livion has claimed the city of promise and now marchers her armies of infected to the capital.

The namless aims to direct the party towords Delta so they can kill her and take the seals she has to destroy them.

The Party will be met By Valour when the come around.

Plot directions.

Valour will Show up if Robert resists the Namless callings. she will give the party a run down of what they have done. Valour will give the party some viles of sage blood and hint at the defeat of livion as the cure but she means a peacful defeat.

The princess orphan will crawl out of the corpse of the Watcher and start heading towords the sleeper's Den aiming to wake it up. if that happens the sleeper will sing its song of end and Exilis will be scrubbed clean of everything but normal citizens and the livion virus. this will also trap anyone that remains in exilis forever. End Game

Party Decides to try and protect the Capital by defeating Livion, they will be met with an army they have no hope of defeating but perhaps they can walk in now they are infected? if they talk to Livion without causing combat she will explain what the virus actually is and that she is a nutral party in all this. if the party attack they will face the army and either die or become infected, if they manage to somehow defeat then Valefor will show up to kill them.

Party decides to try and chase down Delta, They will either find her killing the beholder on its way to the capital, killing the beholder in the capital or before she gets to the sea spire, if the party don't manage to track her down in any of these moments they will find her at the bottom of the sea spire with Stem.
If the party run up to her she will try to doge questions, she will not respond to threats but rather reasoning and guilt. if the party use these tactics Delta will spill the beans, if they try to fight her depending on how they behaved she will try to flee or fight but not to kill unless they force her hand.

Party Listens to the Namless old god which tells them everything but in riddles, end up telling them that the way to be free is to destroy the seals holding Exilis between dimensions, and he says that Delta has the seals. Namless will not answer any questions. (If this Happens Valour will not show up)

Party make up there own direction, wing it.

Time has steered as a group of Heroes find themselves in this accursed land like many before them and many after them.
They come as the land is being ravaged by the livion virus, the citizens don't seem to worry but its obvious the land is dying. a new threat coming from the celestial themselves. the sun is close to rising and its up to our heros to prevent the gods will and save the way of Exilis.
