Player Rules – OutKingdom – Amazons
Amazons are a group human tribes who typically come from lands south of the Kingdom. They are usually followers of Nature, and can be warriors (“battlestriders”), scouts (“outriders”) or druids (“wildshapers”).
Players sometimes draw on Amazon myths for inspiration, and characters often have a tribal appearance, including face paint, but none of this is required. There is no set description of the Amazon lands; the area is vast and encompasses a variety of terrain, from desert to jungle, and the tribes that live there may each have their own traditions and way of life.
If you’re playing an Amazon, remember that however prejudiced your character is IC, you must obey the Code of Conduct and make sure people aren’t uncomfortable OOC.
As you’re not from the Kingdom, characters will tolerate you having strange opinions, but only up to a point – if you get too disruptive, you won’t have Kingdom citizenship or a guild to protect you!
Amazon Battlestriders are excellent warriors, with access to advanced combat skills that are less expensive than for other warriors. Amazon Wildshapers don’t have the bonuses that Druids from the Kingdom do, but don’t suffer the same restrictions either, and tend to make better fighters than them too. Amazon Outriders benefit from being tougher and harder to kill than an equivalent Kingdom human scout, as well as being one of the few groups with access to advanced scouting skills.
Amazons gain advantages against a chosen tribal enemy type – as you advance in experience, you can choose from bonuses such as extra damage, better defence or resistance to mental effects if you’re fighting them.
Things your character would know as an Amazon:
*
Your character may not know much about the Kingdom itself; few from the Amazon tribes venture into the north, and the people of the Kingdom know better than to trespass on Amazon territory.
Some players have created Amazon tribes. If you would like to play a character from one of these tribes, please contact the creator for permission.
