The Rules Post

First things first.
Can all of you actually access this part of the ENBoards?
Have all of you found this thread?
Can you tell those who have not posted to this thread, acknowledging that they have found it, that it is here, and show them how to get to it?

THE RULES OF THE THIRD IR

- - -

RULE 1 - WHEN WE ARE STARTING AND ENDING

We are starting on the 20th of February, starting time on that day unknown.
We are ending when you decide to end this, or I wear out and cannot continue (unless someone else chooses to take my place, and everyone accepts that.)

- - -

RULE 2 - TURNS AND WHAT THEY MEAN

A Turn consists of 200 posts within a designated thread.
Each IR thread will be marked with it's Turn number: Turn 1, Turn 2, Turn 3, etc.

A Turn will NEVER involve more than one thread.

A Turn represents the passage of one month of game time, on Oerth and in Greyspace.
A Turn represents the passage of one month of game time, on Toril and in Realmspace.

IRL, a Turn lasts until Post 200 is written and placed on the thread.

There may be exceptional cases where a Turn is longer or shorter than one month of game time.
In those cases, I will state this at the start of the Turn.

- - -

RULE 3 - WHAT WILL BEGIN EVERY IR THREAD

At the start of every Turn thread will be posted:

The Lists Post, updated for the new Turn.

The Lists Post can be broken down into several groups:

The Main Powers List - this lists all the Powers available, their races, their alignment, and their Power Level.
The Claimed Powers List - this lists all the players involved in the IR, and what Powers they have claimed.
The Base Power List - this lists each player, a summary of his or her claimed Powers, and his or her Base Power Level is given.
The 4 Arms Races - this lists each player, a summary of his or her claimed Powers, and his or her Power Level in the Arms Race in question.
The Advancement List - this lists each player, a summary of his or her claimed Powers, and their Terran equivalent concerning how far they have advanced into the Renaissance, Enlightenment, and Industrial Revolution.

Following the Lists Post will be the Rules Post.

THIS is the Rules Post.

- - -

RULE 4 - WHAT YOU CAN DO IN A TURN

Subrule 0:

You can do three things in the IR.

Post to the thread IC.
Post to the thread OOC.
Send me e-mails.
Communicate with each other by any method.

Subrule 1:

Posting to the thread, either IC or OOC, is the primary action you can take in the IR.
It substitutes for, in other games:

Rolling dice.
Drawing or discarding cards.
Placing armies on the board.
Making all announcements concerning your intentions.
All combats.
All other actions that could take place in a game.

You must post to the thread to tell me:

Whether you are joining an Arms Race. (if you do not post that you are, you are considered to not be, with exceptions as noted.)
Whether you are spending points to advance your civilization (if you do not post this, you are not considered to be doing so.)
Whether you are attacking another Power (if you do not post, you are not attacking.)
Whether you are defending from the attacks of another Power (if you do not post, you are not defending yourself very well.)
Whether you are helping another Power in any way (if you do not post, you are not helping them.)
Any kind of roleplaying (if you do not post, your Power has nothing to say.)
Any kind of diplomacy, threats, requests, or anything else IC (if you do not post, your Power is silent.)

You may post OOC questions to me, and I will answer as I can, and others may answer as they can.
You may post OOC questions to others, and I or they will answer as we can.

You may post comments, suggestions, and anything else that has been previously posted in IRs.

Subrule 2:

Action posts are just that: you post to the thread that you are taking an action.

Such as attacking another Power.
Defending from the attacks of another Power.
Moving your forces from one area to another.
Researching magic to gain in the Magical Arms Race.
Exploring, building, to advance in the Technological Arms Race.
Trying to talk the Planars into helping you, to join the Planar Arms Race.
Working through necromantic means to enter the Undead Arms Race.

You may post as many Action posts as you like.

BUT ...

If you declare more actions than I think your Power could commit in one month, I will ignore your later Action Posts.
Your Power will take the actions you stated, in the order set down, up to the one month limit.

In the case of Serpenteye and Mr. Draco, they are sharing a Power.
This does not give that Power two moves in a turn.
Instead, it effectively halves the Action posts Serpenteye and Mr. Draco can make in a Turn, for their Power can only commit one month worth of actions, and there are two of them.

In the case of areas shared by three people, such as Bone March, it can only take one month's worth of actions, and if all 3 people post Action posts for Bone March, it will use up it's allotment that much more quickly.

Subrule 3:

You MUST POST that you are joining an Arms Race of any sort (if you do not post, you aren't, with some exceptions.)
You MUST POST your efforts to obtain help from the Planars; the reasons you are giving to them (or payment) to get them to help you.
You MUST POST that you are attempting to advance your civilization.

Subrule 4:

You may send me e-mails.

Ask any question you would like to ask.
State secret actions you do not wish known (such as secret attacks, secret alliances, treachery against an ally, and other things.)
Send any complaints concerning the IR.

- - -

RULE 5 - THE END OF THE TURN

When 200 or more posts have accumulated on a thread, and I come online and see this, I will:

Immediately declare Time Out.

Do not post to the thread following that Time Out. Wait for the next Turn. (I will ignore any posts after the Time Out is called, because I must focus on the 200 odd posts already there, and my e-mails.)

I will access everything that has happened.

I will then post to THAT THREAD the results, as I arbitrate them, of all the posts for that Turn.

Then I will ask the Moderator to close the Thread.

After a variable amount of time (from one hour to 2 days) I will begin the next thread.
If I cannot begin a new thread for longer than 2 days, I will post this to the board.

The Lists Post will not be modified, for the results of that Turn, on that Turn's thread.
The change in the Lists Post will be on the Lists Post on the next thread.

- - -

RULE 6 - I WILL ATTEMPT TO HELP YOU TO NOT GET LOST IN THE POSTS

200 posts is a lot to look at, especially if you are just logging on.
I will attempt to keep up with the thread, and comment on what is presently occurring.

Thus, my posts will be updates.

Look for my posts in the sea of posts you see.
They will help you to find out what is going on, amidst dozens of pages of text.
Hopefully.

- - -

RULE 7 - HOW YOU CAN DIRECTLY DAMAGE ANOTHER POWER

Subrule 1:

You can directly damage another Power by posting that you are invading that Power's countries.
If not countered by a post from that Power stating a defense, this invasion will mean conquest of that country, and the transfer of it's Power Levels to your Power.
Since the outcome won't be known until the end of the Turn, you would gain that country's Power Level at the start of the next Turn.

Subrule 2:

You may opt to state that, as you are attempting to conquer a country, you are also attempting to devastate it.
If, at the end of the Turn, you were successful in conquering that country, it is now considered devastated.
It's Power Level permanently drops by 1/2, rounding down all fractions.
You begin the next Turn with the conquered country in your possession, and gain that reduced Power Level.

You may then choose to state you are devastating it again (for that matter, you may choose to state you are devastating any country you hold) and it's Power Level once more drops by one-half, rounding down all fractions.
Again, the effect of the devastation on Power Level is noted at the beginning of the next Turn.

A country reduced to 0 Power Level is considered desolate: all of it's people are either slain, captured, or fled.
A country reduced to 0 Power Levels is considered destroyed: all cities, towns, and hamlets are reduced to rubble and ashes.
Geoff, Tenh, and Sunndi begin the IR in this condition.

- - -

RULE 8 - THE INDUSTRIAL ARMS RACE

Subrule 0:

At the start of Turn One, all the Powers of Oerth and Greyspace are considered to be in the Dark Ages, or one step up in the Medieval Ages.

Subrule 1:

Any Power can declare they are entering the Industrial Arms Race.
Entry MUST BE DECLARED openly on the thread.

Upon such a declaration entry of the Power, that declared, into the Magical Arms Race is automatic.

All Powers in the Industrial Arms Race will gain 3 points per Turn.
These points start accumulating the Turn after they declare themselves in the Race.
These points stack. Each Power in the Race continues to gain 3 points per Turn, indefinitely.

Example:

Celene declares itself in the Technological Arms Race on Turn 1.
At the beginning of Turn 2, Celene has a Strength Total of 3 in the Technological Arms Race.

The Lortmil Technomancy and the Shadow Empire do not even have to declare; they are automatically considered to be in the Technological Arms race, and begin accumulating points on Turn 2.

Subrule 2:

If your Power has a point value greater than 0 in the Industrial Arms Race, you can declare you are sharing your technology with other Powers.
There is no limit to the number of Powers you can share your technology with.
You can give technology to a Power whether it is itself in the Technological Arms Race, or it is not.
All Powers you share technology with gain an additional 3 points in the Technological Arms Race at the start of the next Turn.

Example:

Celene declared on Turn One that it was entering the Industrial Arms Race.
On Turn One, Celene has a Power Level value of 0 in the Technological Arms Race, so it can't share technology with anyone.

On Turn Two, Celene has a Power Level value of 3 in the Technological Arms Race, so it could share technology.
It decides to share technology with the Kevellond Alliance.
Even though the Kevellond Alliance never declared itself in the Technological Arms Race, on Turn 3 it gains a Power Level value of 3 in the Technological Arms race.

Sub-rule 3:

Any nation given technology can opt to share the technology given to it, on the same Turn, with anyone else.
They can do this regardless of whether the nation bequeathing them technology likes it or not.
They can share the technology given them to any number of Powers.
They can share the technology given them to other Powers regardless of whether that Power is in the Industrial Revolution or not.

Example:

Celene gave the Kevellond League technology on Turn 2, as noted above.
Against Celene's will, the Kevellond League decides to share technology with the Baklunish Confederation.
The Baklunish Confederation will now have a Power Level value of 3 on Turn 3.

Subrule 4:

Bequeathing technology on other nations stacks.

Example:

Celene gave technology to the Kevellond League.
However, so did the Lortmil Technomancy.
So did the Shadow Empire.

The Kevellond Technomancy will begin Turn 3 with a Power Level of 9 in the Technological Arms Race.
3 for the help from Celene, plus 3 for the help from the Lortmil Technomancy, plus 3 for the help from the Shadow Empire.

Subrule 5:

No power can gain more than 12 points of Power Level value on Turn One, in the Technological Arms Race.
No matter what they do, or how many nations bequeath technology on them, they cannot gain more than 12 points.

Example:

The Kevellond Alliance declares on Turn One that it is entering the Technological Arms Race.
Thus, on Turn 2 it would have a Power Level of 3.

However, Celene declares it is helping the Kevellond League.
So does the Lortmil Technomancy.
So does the Shadow Empire.
So does the Baklunish Confederation.
So does the United Districts.

That would total 18 points (3 for Kevellond's declaration + 15 for 5 powers helping.)
However, the last 6 points are lost.
The Kevellond League gains only 12 points.

Subrule 6:

This absolute limit of 12 points of help (as per above) applies if your Power starts the Turn with a Power Level of 0.

If your Power Level is 6 or greater at the start of the Turn, the absolute limit on how much you can gain (through your own efforts and from help) drops to 9 points of Power Level.
If your Power Level is 9 or greater, the absolute limit on how much you can gain (through your own efforts and from help) drops to 6 points of Power Level.
If your Power Level is 12 or greater, the absolute limit on how much you can gain (through your own efforts or from help) drops to 3 points of Power Level.
In other words, you cannot benefit from help if you have a Power Level value of 12 or greater in the Industrial Arms Race (unless you were to decide to drop out of the Race, but someone stated they were helping you anyways ... an unlikely scenario.)

Subrule 7:

Here is what your Strength Level in the Technological Arms Race means, in terms of what military weapons your Power can build:

3 indicates your country has primitive firearms.
6 indicates your country has very advanced flintlocks, cannon, and is beginning to seriously enter the field of Technomancy.
9 indicates your country is now able to produce early 19th century weapons.
12 indicates your country is now able to produce mid 19th century weapons.
15 indicates your country is now able to produce late 19th century weapons.
18 indicates your country is at 1900 Terran levels of weaponry.
21 indicates World War One technology.
24 indicates early World War Two technology.
27 indicates late World War Two technology.
30 indicates nuclear weapons.
33 indicates ICBMs.
36 indicates thermonuclear weapons.
39 indicates primitive computer guided weapons.
42 indicates your first space shot.
45 indicates your first moon landing.
48 indicates your first smart weapons.
51 indicates you have very sophisticated computer guided weapons.
54 indicates you can protect your nation from ballistic weapons (nuclear or not) with a missile defense shield.

- - -

RULE NINE - ADVANCING AND INDUSTRIALIZING YOUR CIVILIZATION

The ability to build massive weapons of destruction does not mean your civilization is advanced.

Subrule 1:

At the Start of Turn One, all the Powers of Oerth and Greyspace are considered to be at the Terran equivalent of the year 1500, for the purposes of where they stand in relation to the Renaissance, Enlightenment, and Industrial Revolution.

Exception: The Lortmil Technomancy, which is considered to be around the Terran equivalent of 1880.
Exception: The Shadow Empire, which has some elements within it living at the Terran equivalent of 2050.

Subrule 2:

All the Powers of Oerth and Greyspace may choose to advance the equivalent of one Terran year into the Renaissance, at no cost, per Turn.
This requires a post to the thread that your Power is actively making this attempt, or you do not advance.

Subrule 3:

You may speed up your advancement by paying points out of your total Power Level.

Benefits: Your Power passes through the Renaissance and into the Industrial Revolution more quickly (and see subrule 4 below.)

Drawbacks: If you are spending Power Level on this, you are not spending it defending your country, or attacking another country. This will be taken into account concerning all posts to the thread.

For every 3 points of your Power Level value you declare you are spending this Turn on advancing your civilization, your Power is considered to have advanced an additional year Terran equivalent into the Renaissance and Industrial Revolution.
This advancement will show up at the beginning of the next Turn.

Other Powers may elect to help you (with the same drawbacks for them as noted above.)
For every 3 points of Power Level value they declare to be devoted to helping your society advance, your Power is considered to have advanced an additional year Terran equivalent into the Renaissance and Industrial Revolution.
The benefits of the help, will show up at the beginning of the next Turn.

The Power helping you, gets nothing for it's sacrifice.

Example:

The Kevellond League declares it is spending 20 Strength Levels on advancing their civilization.
Celene declares it is helping the Kevellond League, giving them 4 points of aid.

The Kevellond Alliance has 24 points devoted to advancing their civilization.
The Kevellond League is considered to have advanced 8 years (24 divided by 3) into the Renaissance on that Turn, plus the 1 free year noted above - for a total of 9 years of advancement.
Celene does not advance at all, except for the 1 free year noted above.

Both the Kevellond League and Celene are basically unable to attack another nation this Turn, and their ability to defend themselves is greatly reduced.

Subrule 4:

The true reward for advancing your civilization is huge, if you are willing to turn aside from war (or are allowed to) and devote your efforts to advancement.

For every 10 years Terran equivalent your Power advances into the Renaissance, Enlightenment, and Industrial Revolution, the following happens, at the beginning of the Turn:

Small nations like Ekbir, Geoff, and the County of Ulek gain 1 point in Power Level, permanently.
Intermediate sized nations, like Zeif, Furyondy, and Keoland gain 2 points in Power Level, permanently.
Large nations, like the Peoples of the Vesve, Nyrond, the Great Kingdom of Northern Aerdi, and United Ahlissa gain 3 points in Power Level, permanently.
Vast Empires, like the Celestial Imperium, Varnaith, and Erypt, gain 4 Power Levels in value, permanently.

Small Underdark Races, like the Derro, gain 1 to 2 points in Power Level, permanently.
Large Underdark Nations gain 2 to 3 points in Power Level, permanently.
Entire Major Races of the Underdark, like the Drow, gain 4 points in Power Level, permanently.
Vast Underdark Alliances, such as the Solistarim, also gain 4 points in Power Level, permanently.

Example:

The Dark Union of Oerth spends the necessary Power Levels to advance 10 years Terran equivalent (since that would cost 30 points, and the Dark Union is a shared Power, Serpenteyes and Mr. Draco would have to state, between them, that 30 points was spent towards this end.)

Result:

Bone March increases by 2 points of Power Level permanently.
The Great Kingdom of Northern Aerdi increases by 3 points of Power Level, permanently.
United Ahlissa increases by 3 points of Power Level, permanently.
The Sea Barons increase by 1 point of Power Level, permanently.
Rel Astra increases by 1 point of Power Level, permanently.
Medegia increases by 1 point of Power Level, permanently.
Dullstrand increases by 1 point of Power Level, permanently.
The Legions of Kas increase by 2 points of Power Level, permanently.
The Isles of Woe increase by 1 point of Power Level, permanently.

The Power Level of Player Characters (such as the God Emperor of the Dark Union) does not increase.

The Power being shared by Serpenteye and Mr. Draco is now 15 points stronger, permanently.

- - -

RULE 9 - THE PLANAR ARMS RACE

Subrule 1:

All players may state, prior to the beginning of the IR, that they are attempting to obtain the help of Planars.
The list of Planars available to help (and this list is still growing) is on the Lists Post.

To obtain the help of Planars, YOU MUST POST TO THE THREAD AND SUCCESSFULLY CONVINCE ME THE PLANARS WOULD HELP YOU.

Exception: Those who begin the IR playing only Planars, plus a Player Character, are exempt from the above.

The result of your efforts will show beginning on Turn Two.
Whether you succeeded or failed, will show on the Planar Arms Race List, as it appears on Turn Two.

You may attempt repeatedly to gain the help of a particular Planar Race until you succeed.

Subrule 2:

A player can claim 1, 2, or 3 Planar Races to help his Power.
A player cannot claim more than 3 Planar Races to help his Power.

Subrule 3:

A player can choose to substitute another Planar Race for one he has already claimed.
During play, any player can choose to attempt to substitute another Planar Race for one he already has the help of.

Subrule 4:

Two or more players may claim the same group of Planars.
If this happens, it is not considered a Contested situation (unlike the countries being selected, where it is a Contested situation if two or more players claim the same country.)

Subrule 5:

A player whose Power is primarily evil cannot summon good Planars.
A player whose Power is primarily good cannot summon evil Planars.
A player whose Power is somehow mixed in alignment is wisest to try to summon neutral Planars, but can attempt to obtain help from either good or evil Planars with a reduced chance of success.

A player cannot claim good Planars and Planars listed as evil, or listed as neutral and evil.
A player cannot claim evil Planars and Planars listed as good, or neutral and good.

A player can claim good Planars and neutral Planars.
A player can claim evil Planars and neutral Planars.
A player can claim neutral Planars and Planars listed as neutral and good.
A player can claim neutral Planars and Planars listed as neutral and evil.

Subrule 6:

For every Planar Race you succeed in gaining the help of, you gain 3 points of Power Level, per turn, starting on Turn Two.

Example:

Iuz beseeches the help of the demons, the yugoloths, and finally the unseelie.
He succeeds in talking the demons and yugoloths into helping him, but not the unseelie.

On Turn 2, the Power Level of Iuz increases by 6. 3 for the demons, and 3 for the yugoloths.
On Turn 3, the Power Level of Iuz increases by another 6, to a total of 12.
On Turn 4, the Power Level of Iuz increases by another 6, to a total of 18.

Subrule 7:

If you substitute a Planar Race, you retain the current Power Level of the race you are discarding, and start fresh with the newly gained Planar Race.

Example:

Iuz, above, declares he is, on Turn 4, substituting xeg-ya for yugoloths.
Iuz successfully talks the xeg-ya into helping him.

On Turn 5, Iuz has a Power Level of 12 for the demons (3 for Turn 2, 3 for Turn 3, 3 for Turn 4, and 3 for Turn 5)
On Turn 5, Iuz has a Power Level of 9 for the yugoloths (3 for Turn 2, 3 for Turn 3, 3 for Turn 4)
On Turn 5, Iuz has a Power Level of 3 for the xeg-ya (3 for Turn 5)
Total Power Level of the Planars, for Iuz, on Turn 5: 24

You cannot add more than 9 points to your Power Level in any given turn, from Planar help.

Planar help continues stacking indefinitely.

Subrule 8:

At some undisclosed point, if you obtain too much Planar help (your Power Level goes too high from the Planar Arms Race), the Planars will decide to take over.
You lose control of your Planars, and you lose all the Power Level from them.
They are now an independent force on the board, under the control of Yours Truly.

This limit is somewhere over 100 points in Planar aid.

Subrule 9:

A player who begins the game claiming Planars, and only Planars (plus his one allowed Player Character) is under different rules:

He is automatically considered to have convinced the Planars to help him.

He gains an initial 9 points per Planar Race chosen.
He then advances at the rate of 3 points per Planar Race selected, per Turn.
These points stack, just like as per above.

This player can never choose to run another Planar Race.
This player can never substitute another Planar Race for the ones he has claimed.

This player can never lose control of his Planars.

His Planars may enter all of the Arms Races, as they represent his Power, instead of being extensions of it.

Subrule 10:

A player beginning the IR playing only the undead, plus his or her Player Character if any, is under the same exception as a player who has decided to play only Planar Races.

Subrule 11:

In both of the cases above, if the player chooses - before the IR starts - to select a non-Planar (or non-Undead) power, he reverts to the rules for everyone else.

- - -

RULE 10 - THE MAGICAL ARMS RACE

Subrule 0:

The entry of Kas and his Legions into the Present has returned the Arcane Age to Oerth and Greyspace.
The entry of Vecna and his Legions will further strengthen magic on Oerth and in Greyspace.

Subrule 1:

Everyone may enter the Magical Arms Race.
Entry MUST BE DECLARED openly on the thread.

Upon such a declaration, entry of the Power that declared into the Magical Arms Race is automatic.

All Powers in the Magical Arms Race will gain 3 points per Turn.
These points start accumulating the Turn after they declare themselves in the Race.
These points stack. Each Power in the Race continues to gain 3 points per Turn, indefinitely.

Subrule 2:

The Shadow Empire, Vecna, Kas, Acererak, Iuz, and the Solistarim are already more magically advanced than everyone else is.
This increased magical capability is factored into their Base Strength Level, but also gives them an advantage beyond that (see below):

The Shadow Empire, Vecna, Kas, Acererak, Iuz, and the Solistarim may enter the Magical Arms Race like anyone else - indeed they are automatically in it, and need not post their entry into the Race.

Subrule 3:

CASTING 10TH LEVEL MAGIC

No Power begins on Turn One with the ability to cast 10th level magic except:

The Shadow Empire, Vecna, Kas, Acererak, Iuz, and the Solistarim

The secret to 10th level magic can be researched by any Power.
Such research requires entry into the Magical Arms Race - a power not in the Magical Arms Race cannot conduct such research.

Any Power gaining a Power Level of 6 in the Magical Arms Race may begin employing 10th level magic on the Turn after they reach Power Level 6.
For the typical Power declaring on Turn 1 that they are entering the Magical Arms Race then, they would be able to employ 10th level magic starting on Turn 4.

Any Power capable of using 10th level magic (not a Power researching it), including the Shadow Empire, Vecna, Kas, Acererak, Iuz, and the Solistarim on Turn One, may choose to share the secret of 10th level magic with another Power.
The Power bequeathed the secrets of this magic gains the ability to cast 10th level magic on the Turn after they receive the gift.
Thus, any Power could gain the ability to employ 10th level magic starting on Turn 2 - if one of the powers able to use it at the start declare they are helping them.

A Power that is bequeathed the secrets of 10th level magic cannot share those secrets with another Power, or Powers, until they learn the secrets themselves.
That is, they cannot share the secrets of 10th level magic on the Turn they themselves receive the secret, but must wait until the next Turn.

If your power can cast 10th level spells, you may announce ALL of the following during your turn:

You can counter someone else's 10th level magic.
You can freely transport your entire army from one area of Oerth to another.
Your ability to destroy all enemies is greatly enhanced, and this will be taken into account in what you say you do.
Your ability to defend yourself against attack will be greatly enhanced, and this will be taken into account in what you say you do.
You can begin to permanently alter the climate of your country.
You can begin to permanently alter the flora and fauna of your country.
You can begin to permanently alter the topography of your country.
You can begin to attempt to permanently alter your people, enhancing them in some way (increases to stats, extra limbs, mutations, psionic powers, innate magical powers, etc.) This kind of alteration could permanently increase your country's base Power Level.

You may attempt to cause a catrastrophe of some sort, like a tidal wave, hurricane, volcanic explosion, earthquake, major (and uncontrollable) forest fire, tempest, blizzard (in the tropics), heat wave (in the arctic), and the like.
The catastrophe can be countered if another power (or the target) with 10th level magic states it is doing so, and you may only target one Power (one person IRL) per Turn with a catastrophe.
Wish spells will not stop your catastrophe.
If your catastrophe succeeds, your enemy will suffer a permanent loss to his Base Strength Total.

Subrule 3:

CASTING 11TH LEVEL MAGIC

No Power begins on Turn One with the ability to cast 11th level magic except:

Vecna, Acererak

Iuz can do so starting on Turn 4.
Kas (but not the Dark Union he is a part of) can do so starting on Turn 4.
The Shadow Empire can do so starting on Turn 5.
The Solistarim can also do so starting on Turn 5.

The secret to 11th level magic can be researched by any Power.
Such research requires that the Power already know the secrets of employing 10th level magic.

Any Power gaining a Power Level of 18 in the Magical Arms Race may begin employing 11th level magic on the Turn after they reach Power Level 18.
For the typical Power declaring on Turn 1 that they are entering the Magical Arms Race, gaining the secrets of 10th level magic on Turn 4, and continuing to progress in the Magical Arms Race after that, they would gain the ability to employ 11th level magic on Turn 8.

Any Power capable of using 11th level magic (not a Power researching it), including Vecna and Acererak on Turn 1, may choose to share the secret of 11th level magic with another Power.
They must also bequeath the secrets of 10th level magic to that Power.

The Power bequeathed the secrets of 10th and 11th level magic, both, gains the ability to cast 10th level magic on the Turn after they receive the gift, and 11th level magic on the Turn after that.
Thus, any Power could gain the ability to employ 11th level magic starting on Turn 3 - if one of the powers able to use it at the start declare they are helping them.

If the Power being gifted with 11th level magic already knows the secrets of 10th level magic, they may begin using 11th level magic on the Turn after receiving the secret (not two turns later.)

A power in the process of learning 11th level magic cannot share the secret until they themselves can use it fully (2 turns if they must go through 10th level magic first, 1 turn otherwise.)

If your Power can employ 11th level magic, you can announce ALL of the following during your Turn:

You can counter someone else's 11th level magic.
You can automatically counter any lesser magic.
Your power to destroy is MASSIVELY increased, and this will be taken into account regarding what you say you do.
Your power to defend yourself is MASSIVELY increased, and this will be taken into account regarding what you say you do.
You can permanently alter the climate of your country totally.
You can rearrange the geography of your country in major ways.
You can rearrange the flora and fauna of your country as you please.
You may bequeath upon your entire population one innate magical power per Turn (anything of 5th level or lower.)
You may permanently alter your entire population, mutating them into something else (you could turn all your elves into avariel, or all your humans into elves, or all your goblins into orcs.)
You may permanently increase your Power's Strength Total by 3 per Turn.

You may inflict a major catastrophe.
Unless countered by a 10th level or higher spell, it automatically succeeds.
A 10th level spell does not stop it, but lessens it's effect.
You can cause a massive tidal wave, regions at the equator to freeze solid, regions in the arctic to melt and steam, violent earthquakes, massive explosions, massive volcanic eruptions, the devastation of an entire region by any kind of force.
The Power you target will suffer a loss of 1/4 of his entire Power Level, rounded up, permanently.
You may only target one Power (one person IRL) per Turn with a catastrophe.

You may attempt to squelch all magic on Oerth for the current Turn.
If you are countered by 10th level magic, you have only a 50% chance of success.
If you are countered by 11th level magic, you fail.
Otherwise, the Magical Arms race is halted that turn (nobody gains any points the next Turn from this Turn's research.)
Planars lose most of their abilities, and this will be noted in what is said and done.
Undead lose most of their abilities, and this will be noted in what is said and done.
If you squelch all magic with your 11th level magic, that is all you can do with it in your Turn.

Subrule 4:

12th level spells cannot be employed yet in the IR. (Perhaps by the time enough time has passed they could be, I will have figured out how to handle them.)

- - -

RULE 11 - ARTIFACTS AND RELICS

Currently, only two Powers have artifacts.

The Isles of Woe have the Codex of the Planes.
The Kevellond League has the Crook of Rao.

Your Power may attempt to obtain an Artifact or Relic.
Whether you succeed or not is dependent on your posts.

If your Power has an artifact, you can declare actions as if you had the secrets of 11th level magic (see rule 11 above.)

This rule still under consideration.

- - -

RULE 12 - THE PROBLEMS WITH TECHNOLOGY AND TECHNOMANCY

Technology and technomancy created on Toril and in Realmspace will work fine, on Toril and in Realmspace.

Technology and technomancy created on Oerth and in Greyspace will work fine, on Oerth and in Greyspace.

Such technology can be given to the Planars for their use (but the Planars do not start their own Technological Arms Race ... your power must continue that.)

Technology and technomancy created on Toril and in Realmspace, which is taken to Oerth and/or Greyspace, DOES NOT WORK AT ALL.

Technology and technomancy created on Oerth and in Greyspace, which is taken to Toril and/or Realmspace, DOES NOT WORK AT ALL.

(Thus, for the past 40 years, the Church of Shade which is now called the Shadow Empire on Oerth had to start from scratch learning technological and technomancical knowhow on Oerth, just like the Lortmil Technomancy had to start from scratch.)

Magic, including Arcane Age magic, works normally when taken from one place to another.

- - -

RULE 13 - TRAVELLING TO REALMSPACE OR TORIL, AND VICE VERSA

ANY attempt by ANYONE from Oerth or Greyspace, to enter Realmspace or to travel to Toril (no matter how convoluted a route you take, or what spell you use) is met by the Realmspace Border Guard.
The Realmspace Border Guard are the final arbiters of whether those entering go any further, or whether they go back.

If those attempting to enter Realmspace or attempting to go to Toril attempt to fight the Border Guard, the entire 1,000 points of the United Commonwealth of Toril, plus the 500 points of the Eternal Empire, plus the 500 points of Hope Island, plus the 300 points of the Scro Star League, plus anything else I can think of, stands ready to back them up.
Hit and run raids (popping in, dropping a nuke and running) are not possible - the Border Guard is expecting such tactics.

However, the reverse is not true, not true at all.

Anyone from Toril or Realmspace may enter Greyspace, or Gate or teleport to Oerth, as they please.
When they do so, they lose all of their technological and technomancical (I think I have invented a new word here ...) Strength Level, and they are considered to be at:

ONE-HALF for the United Commonwealth (that is, they can throw 500 points at you)
FULL STRENGTH for Hope Isle (they can throw 500 points at you)
ONE-HALF for the Eternal Empire (they can throw 250 points at you)
ONE-HALF for the Scro Star League (they can throw 150 points at you)

Moral of the story:

Don't dis the Torilians.
At least, don't dis the Torilians until you can get away with it. :D

(The Wanderer, apparently doesn't care, since he is slandering them pitilessly.)

RULE 14 - HIGH LEVEL CHARACTERS AND NPCS

A character of 30th level 2nd or 3rd edition would have a Power Level of 1.
A character of 60th level 2nd or 3rd edition would have a Power Level of 2.
A character of 90th level 2nd or 3rd edition would have a Power Level of 3.
A character of 120th level 2nd or 3rd edition would have a Power Level of 4.
A character of 160th level 2nd or 3rd edition would have a Power Level of 5.

If the character has innate magical powers, and huge numbers of high powered magical items (and/or artifacts) his power level can increase further.
By further, I mean by 1 Power Level ... 2 at the absolute most, assuming the most extraordinary of conditions.

Thus Anabstercorian, who is over 90th level 2nd Edition, and has a huge arsenal of magical items (that survived the crossover from Toril) has a PL of 4.
I hope you'all don't bring more than one Player Character apiece into this.
This is a situation where characters can get killed, and I DO NOT WISH to have the make rulings on whether a Player Character survives or not.

The above applies to NPCs.
It applies to the famous NPCs of Oerth.

An NPC who is a demipower, like Iuz, has inherently greater power than the norm, and this places him out of the above scheme.

RULE 15 - HOW THE ARMS RACES CAN BUILD UP YOUR STRENGTH TOTAL

Presume you decided to claim only Dullstrand, Power Level 2, as your claimed Power.
You begin the IR, on Turn One, with a Power Level of 2.

You declare yourself in the Planar Arms Race, selecting djinn, eladrin, and guardinals.
You are successful in arguing your case before them that they should help you, and you gain all 3 Planar Races.

You declare yourself in the Technological Arms Race.
You declare yourself in the Magical Arms Race.
You declare yourself in the Undead Arms Race, summoning only good undead.

On Turn One, you convince the Lortmil Technomancy to help you with the Technological Arms Race.
On Turn One, you convince Celene, which has already been helped, to help you with the Technological Arms Race.
On Turn One, you convince the Iron League, which has already been helped, to help you with the Technological Arms Race.

On Turn One, you convince Acererak to share with you the secrets of both 10th and 11th level spells.

-

At the beginning of Turn Two, you have the following Strength Totals:

9 points for the Planar Arms Race (3 for the djinn, plus 3 for the eladrin, plus 3 for the guardinals.)
3 points for the Undead Arms Race.
3 points for the Magical Arms Race.
12 points for the Industrial Arms Race (3 for your own efforts, plus 3 for the help from the Lortmil Technomancy, plus 3 for the secondhand help from Celene, plus 3 from the secondhand help from the Iron League.)

Total Strength Level: 27

You can employ 10th level magic on Turn 2.
You can employ 11th level magic on Turn 3 (and on Turn 3 you will have a Strength Total of 45.)

RULE 16 - THE CITY OF THE GODS

Originally (and still, officially) a Mystaran product, the City of the Gods is here on Oerth, for the IR.
It is the left-over product of a super-advanced civilization (more advanced even than the United Commonwealth of Toril) that has disappeared.
It has maintained itself for thousands of years since, by maintaining and creating new robots.

The City of the Gods, as people call it, sits up in the Godspires, in the Black Ice (just off-map to the north), in the middle of the territory of the Solistarim.

It is not possible to claim the City of the Gods.
The Solistarim cannot claim the City of the Gods anymore readily than anyone else.

It IS possible to raid the City of the Gods for their high tech goodies.
A successful raid (75% of any raid being successful) produces an increase in your PL of 2, permanently.
An unsuccessful raid (25% of any raid being unsuccessful) produces nothing.

Each raid, successful or unsuccessful, against the City of the Gods gives a cumulative 1% chance that the City of the Gods will take notice of the raids, and that there are beings out there existing that can raid it.
In that case, the City of the Gods will DECLARE WAR ON EVERYONE IN THE IR.

Yours Truly will run the City of the Gods if that happens.

The City of the Gods will then attack all those who raided it, immediately.
Once those Powers are destroyed, the City of the Gods will attack all the other Powers in the IR, starting with the nearest and working outward.

Is this new rendition of the rules clearer, more easily read?
Is there a situation that is not addressed, or an ambiguity that needs clearing up?

Other new powers.
You'all might wait before making claims on these, so that new players can have a chance at them.

My thanks to Williams for his help here

Remember! ... No person playing in the IR can pick more than 3 Planar Races, total, for his or her Planar Arms Race.
If you pick a race, build your power up with it, then stop pulling in beings of that race, then you can choose another race to substitute for it.

Example: Iuz picks demons, yugoloths, and elementals.
He racks up 9 points of demons, 9 points of yugoloths, and 9 points of elementals over 3 Turns.
He then stops taking elementals.
He keeps his 9 points of elementals - they don't go away.
He chooses Xeg-ya instead. Now, he starts all over with 3 points of Xeg-ya, on the Turn after he declared the change.
So, next Turn he would have 12 points of demons, 12 points of yugoloths, 9 points of elementals, and 3 points of xeg-ya.

To make a long story short:

YOU CAN'T GAIN MORE THAN 9 POINTS PER TURN IN THE PLANAR ARMS RACE (but you can gain less, if you are unable to convince 3 different Planar Races to help you.)

On request, here is the URL to the faction map again:

This index has links to 2 versions of the original map, which are a little more complete. (and easier to read, in the case of the big one)

Thanks and cheers, Maudlin!

Maudlin, go ahead and fill in the rest of the Lortmils with the green of the Lortmil Technomancy. They control more area than is shown currently.

Uh, Maudlin, one more thing - Acererak controls Sunndi, but not the hills and mountains around Sunndi.
Indeed, the coast east of the hills is held by the Dark Union, and should be purple.
The coast west of the hills is held by the Iron League, and should remain uncolored.

That is a splendid map, Maudlin. A few more tweaks is all ...

I'll be back in 3 days.
See you all then!

Well, popping over on this also.

We're jumping in to make a claim on:

The Elven Imperial Navy of Greyspace (spelljamming elves, neutral and good) PL 15


The forces of Good, outnumbered but that just makes it easier to find the evil people.:)

Need to reread the rules again, I've gotten so unclear on the planar stuff. Can I claim the Planar Seelie?
 


IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ

Everyone check your current claims (note that Planars currently claimed have no PL unless the person is claiming only Planars plus his Player Character at the start.)

If your current claims exceed 100 points (again, not including Planars, which have no PL at the start), you must relinquish enough of your claims to pull yourself back down to 100 in Power Level or below.
 

I would like to clame The Sea League (merfolk, tritons in the Solnor Ocean, neutral) PL 13 and The Coral Empire of the Solnor (sea-elves in the Solnor, all around the Lendore Isles and elsewhere, neutral and good) PL 15.

We are now the sky-sea League

Kalanyr and Edena:

Edena, If the dark Union keeps all our claims we have 102ppts. I am willing to offer Kalanyr 2/3 of the Bone March (we keep the south and he gets the north) to bring it down to 100pts. Kalanyr, e-mail me if this is a satisfactory solution.
