Systems

The machinery underneath the world: combat, character, gear, progression and everything social.

Rogue runs on a set of systems that mostly stay out of your way. You can play for a long time knowing only that hitting things makes numbers go down and that better gear helps. These pages are for when that stops being enough - when you want the actual formula, the real drop rate, or the exact reason a fight went the way it did.

Every number quoted in this section was read out of the running game's source rather than remembered, and pages are rebuilt when the code changes.

Combat and character#

Combat Rounds, attacks, damage, mitigation and how a fight actually resolves. Vitals Health, spell points and endurance: what sets your maximums and how they come back. Stats The character statistics, what each one feeds, and how they grow. Conditions Buffs, debuffs and status effects, from rooted and stunned to cursed and plagued. Death What dying costs, where it sends you, and how you come back. Progression Levels, experience, and the skills that unlock as you climb.

Gear#

Gear Slots, wearing and wielding, and the level and class gates on equipment. World Drops Grade, quality and condition: the three axes that decide what a dropped item is worth. Runes Rune families, forms, socketing and combining. Gear Sets Matching pieces and the bonuses completing a set pays out. Durability How gear wears out with use, what that costs you, and where to repair it.

Making and trading#

Crafting Recipes, skill, stations and tools. Gathering Resource nodes, searching and digging. Economy Coin, banks, shops and auctions. Quests How quests are found, tracked and turned in. Mechanics only, no solutions.

People#

Groups Playing together, shared experience and party mechanics. Clans Ranks, permissions, coffers, clan levels and abodes. Religion The five faiths, ordination, tithes and divine favour. Factions Standing with the powers of the Brinewarrens, and what it buys or costs. Companions Heroes, pets, summons and minions that fight alongside you. Communication Channels, tells, emotes and mail. Housing Owning somewhere to live, and what you can do with it.
