Guilds
Guilds of Ryuutama
Guilds in Ryuutama are made up of different groups of people who have
dedicated their time and knowledge to traversing specific environments and
specific crafts. Guilds can only be joined if the Town or City has a Guild in
it. Once a Guild is joined, the character may not leave it, as a Guild pact is
one made for life. If the player encounters NPCs who are also a member of
the same guild it may be easier for them to develop a relationship. A
character is never required to join a Guild. They simply act as a way to
specialize the character with added strengths and weaknesses.
Upon joining a Guild the player will permanently gain the listed Strength
and Weakness for the Guild they have chosen. These effects can never be
removed and are active at all times.

the caster in a contested [SPI + SPI] check. If the person attempting to cast a new spell loses,
their spell automatically fails. Because the sound is loudest near the caster, the caster may not

a circumference of 50 feet that centers in on the party illuminating anything within the circle.
Monsters cannot enter the circle unless invited.
Touch
Resurrects an enemy that has died within the last hour as a zombie; the target rolls a new
initiative -2 and fights under your command until it crumbles. If the zombie takes more than
half of its original HP in damage it is destroyed. The zombie creature cannot use special
abilities.
The pale moonlight shines, illuminating the strange world
below it's gaze.
Like the visions in a crystal ball, Night magic encapsulates
all who behold it.
