Nero Rule (if any): Nero Alchemy packets are orange.
Legends Rule: Mead Legends will use green to represent alchemy packets.
Comments Rule: The previous system used green (existing players won’t need to remake their packets). This will also prevent confusion between orange Alchemy packets and yellow Archery packets.
Date Added: 16-Jul-2015
Nero Rule (if any): Only packet-based Nero Bows are allowed.
Legends Rule: Mead Legends will adopt a hybrid system for bows and arrows due to the demand from players to keep the physical arrows as well as making the skill more available for people who do not have archery training. While there is a chance that arrows might be broken in combat, people are given a choice between the two types of bows. If they are willing to accept possible costs associated with using boffed arrows, then that is their choice. Mead Legends will keep the quivers from Nero, but due to space limitations presented by boffed arrows, archers who choose to use boffed arrows will be issued quiver tags on which they can keep track of the amount of arrows they have. Arrow based bows also have a slower fire rate, so their initial damage will be increased. This will be kept track of and might be revisited at a later stage. Boffed arrow based bows will be termed “Longbows” and packet based bows will be termed “Short bows”. Archers using boffed arrows will need to be certified by a safety marshal for these bows and arrows specifically.
Longbow Arrow Damage: 6
Shortbow Arrow Damage: 3
BOFFER ARCHERY REQUIREMENTS
- Archery marshals reserve the right to revoke your permission to use boffer arrows for any reason.
- You must have attended at least one archery workshop.
- Bows must have a maximum draw of 20 pounds or less, at full draw. This will be tested with a fisherman's scale.
- PVC Bows are allowed.
- We strongly recommend that you get some actual archery training before using a bow in MEAD.
- You may only shoot at targets closer than 10m, we do not want wild shots or shots from above.
- You must use your own arrows. Never use another person's arrows.
BOFFER ARROW REQUIREMENTS
- Arrow shafts must be aluminum. The risk of splintering is too high with fiberglass, carbon and wooden shafts.
- To prove your boffer arrows are safe, they MUST be constructed at an archery workshop, under the supervision of archery and safety marshals, using one of the pre-approved arrow designs.
- Not using a pre-approved design means that a random arrow will be picked, test fired, and opened up.
- Bringing pre-constructed arrows to the workshop means that a random arrow will be picked, test fired, and opened up.
- Bringing unapproved arrows to MEAD means that you won't be using your bow for the weekend.
Things to keep in mind when making your arrow:
- Straight flight
- Sound construction
- No rattling when shaking the arrow
- Minimum bounce factor, ideally less than a meter.
- Arrow head size larger than an eye socket - a minimum diameter of 5cm
- Construction guidelines available on the downloads page.

Nero Rule (if any): Nero has its own set of costuming requirements, but we will be using the following.
Legends Rule: Drae
Make-Up and Costume Requirements The Player must wear black make-up on all exposed skin. Drae have grey, silver, or white hair and must wear pointed ears.
Dwarf
Make-Up and Costume Requirements Dwarves have only one make-up requirement. Male and female characters alike must wear a beard of at least six inches.
Elf
Surface Elf: Make-Up and Costume Requirements There is only one make-up requirement for Surface Elves: all characters must wear pointed ears.
Stone Elf Make-Up and Costume Requirements Stone Elves appear to be made of marble. Therefore, the Player must wear white make-up with black or grey lines on all exposed skin. Pointed ears are also required when playing this race.
Wild Elf Make-Up and Costume Requirements Wild Elves are loosely based on Native American Tribes. The Player should choose and attempt to emulate, as best as possible, the wardrobe of a given Tribe. Wild Elves must also wear body paint, feathers, and other such adornments during times of peace and war alike. A Player must wear pointed ears when playing a Wild Elf.
Sea Elf Make-Up and Costume Requirements Sea Elves have blue skin that often has green or yellow undertones. As with all “painted” characters, the Player must cover all exposed skin with make-up. Sea Elven costuming usually has an aquatic theme. Items like shells, fishnet, and other “oceanic” objects adorn their clothing or bodies. Sea Elves must wear pointed ears like all other Elven races and often have green or blue hair.
Faerie
Make-Up and Costume Requirements
Within the guidelines established by the fantasy genre, a Faerie character may look however he wishes. Remember that it is important to capture the feel of what a Faerie should look like; adornments like glitter, gossamer fabrics, and natural elements such as leaves have all been effectively used by Players to contrive a Faerie costume. In other words, most faeries won’t dress as your typical human. Faeries may wear pointed ears if they wish, but are required to wear Faerie Wings at ALL times. Additionally, the wings must ALWAYS be exposed. Faeries originate from a mystical realm where they take many physical forms while there. However, when a Faerie occupies our world, the active game-world, their appearance is much the same as the Player’s. That is, they are NOT miniature! Consult a veteran player for guidance on how to obtain or make your own wings.
Gnome
Make-Up and Costume Requirements
Gnomes have grey skin and often have Runes inscribed on their bodies. As with all “painted” races, the player is required to cover all exposed skin with make-up. Gnomes ALWAYS wear a unique hat that may be of any range of size and style. This is a tradition that is as deeply rooted as the stone they inhabit. - See comment above under Gnomes As per reply above
Gypsy
Make-Up and Costume Requirements Gypsies are based on the groups of Romanian and Balkan/European Gypsies. They speak with an accent that emulates the cultures they are derived from, and wear colourful and elaborate costuming in true Gypsy fashion.
Half-Orc
Make-Up and Costume Requirements Half-Orcs have green skin and red or orange hair. They also are required to wear tusks at all times (unless eating, of course). Tusks are usually made from “friendly plastic” and must be at least 1” long. See a veteran player for more information about making your own tusks. Half- Orcs can wear any type of costuming, but usually prefer a more ‘barbaric’ look. Remember, a Player must cover all exposed skin with make-up.
Half-Ogre
Make-Up and Costume Requirements Half-Ogres have yellow skin that can be highlighted with complimentary colours like brown or orange. Half-Ogres can have hair of any natural colour, but it is usually dark. They also are required to wear tusks at all times. (Unless eating, of course!) Tusks are usually made from “friendly plastic” and must be at least 1” long. See a veteran player for information about making your own tusks. Half-Ogres can wear any type of costuming, but usually prefer a more “barbaric” look. Remember, a Player must cover all exposed skin with make-up.
Hobling
Make-Up and Costume Requirements Hoblings have fur on the backs of their hands and the tops of their feet. Since this fur is the only distinguishing feature of Hoblings, both sets of patches must be visible at all times. If weather is inclement, the fur may be attached to the tops of boots or gloves.
Sarr
A Sarr is a humanoid, bipedal version of any of the great jungle cats. Prosthetics, furry ears, make-up, and fur are all allowed as part of a Sarr costume. Make-up is the key here, and it must be clear what type of cat is being represented. Because of possible confusion with a Drae character, anyone wishing to play a black panther must have the costume pre-approved by Logistics to avoid confusion.
Sylvan Fey
Make-Up and Costume Requirements A Sylvan Fey doesn’t have any specific costuming requirements, but is required to wear horns These may be of latex, sculpting clay, or carved from wood. Make sure that your horns are a minimum of 1.5” long and aren’t sharp enough to cause injury. Consult a veteran player for tips on making your horns. Sylvan Fey are not required to wear pointed ears, but may elect to do so if they wish.
Wilder
Make-Up and Costume Requirements Whatever the creature you choose to represent, it is important that your make-up clearly identifies what you are playing. Prosthetics, furs, horns, feathers, and any other aids may be used to create the persona that you are seeking. Ensure that you have your costume approved by Logistics prior to playing, so as to avoid any complications. Note: There are NO races that can actually fly in the Legends world.

Nero Rule (if any): Nero uses the Bag of Chance. A new player’s first 3 deaths do not count when adding death stones to the Bag of Chance.
Legends Rule: Legends Death Bag
When a character dies, the character will lose a life and would normally lose the last 30 minutes of their memory.
A new player’s character does not lose the first three lives at their first event.
Death Bag – every time you die you will be given a bag of stones to draw from. The first 3 times you draw from the bag, it will contain 9 white stones and 1 coloured stone (10 stones total). If you draw the white stone you resurrect successfully. If you draw the coloured stone you not only resurrect successfully, you also keep your memory of the events.
After you have used 3 “free” resurrections, the procedure changes slightly. When you arrive at the resurrect circle after your 4th death, a black ball is added to the bag. For each of the 9 deaths from the 4th one onwards, a black stone is added to the bag. If you draw the black ball you do not resurrect successfully. You hand over a life to the resurrect circle admin and draw again. An unsuccessful resurrect does not add any stones to the bag, only an in game death adds stones to the bag.
On your 13th death, instead of another black ball being added, a coloured ball is added. This means that the chance of dying each draw is dropped slightly and the chance to remember your death stays roughly between 5-10%. On your 14th death you add another black ball and for each of the following deaths until you have added 9 black balls in a row. The 10th ball added is a coloured one. Rinse and repeat cycle.
Finally, every 5th level you gain, one black ball is removed from the bag. If you die or fail to resurrect and you have no more life tags, you are permanently dead. Your character is dead. You must draw up a new one. The practical explanation is as follows…
So, Tharg dies for the 1st time. He goes to the resurrect circle and the reaper is waiting with his clipboard. He pulls out the bag with 9 white stones and 1 coloured stone in it. Tharg reaches into the bag and pulls out a white stone. He is successfully resurrected and can go on his merry way.
So, Tharg dies for the 3rd time. He goes to the resurrection circle and the reaper is waiting with his clipboard. He pulls out the bag with 9 white stones and 1 coloured stone in it. Tharg reaches into the bag and pulls out the coloured stone. He is successfully resurrected and retains his memory of the events that killed him. His assassin was sloppy and he knows who it was. He sets out for revenge.
So, Tharg dies for the 6th time. He goes to the resurrection circle and the reaper is waiting with his clipboard. He pulls out the bag with 9 white stones and 1 coloured stone and adds 3 black stones to it. Tharg is unlucky. He draws a black stone and his resurrection fails. Sighing, he hands over a life tag and draws from the bag again. It’s a white stone. The 2nd try is successful but he has lost an extra life in the attempt.
So, Tharg dies for the 21st time overall and the 3rd time in this game. He has more black balls in the bag than white. He has lost 5 extra lives in his attempts to resurrect, to a total of 7 lives this weekend. Now he has lost his 8th life and only has two left. He goes to the resurrection circle and the reaper is waiting with his clipboard. Tharg reaches into the bag and pulls out a black stone. With a heavy heart he hands over his second to last life tag. Closing his eyes, he reaches into the bag and swears that if he pulls a white stone and gets another chance, he’ll be more careful with his life this time.
Removing Black Balls from the bag - this can only be done by staying alive... Every 5 levels your character reaches, one black ball is removed from your bag. The longer you stay out of Death's clutches, the less the odds of Death coming for you next time you end up in the resurrection circle.

Nero Rule (if any): None
Legends Rule: Desecration is a condition that some characters are born with or can attain through in-play means that causes certain forces to be reversed when particular spells are cast on them. Characters who are desecrated take the opposite effects from the following spells:
Cure Light Wounds/Cause Light Wounds Cure Wounds/Cause Wounds Cure Disease/Cause Disease Cure Serious Wounds/Cause Serious Wounds Sanctuary / Desecrate Purify Blood/Taint Blood Cure Mortal Wounds/Cause Mortal Wounds Regeneration / Corruption Life/Death
For example, a Desecrated character struck by a Cure Light Wounds spell would take five (5) points of body damage but be healed five (5) body if struck by a Cause Light Wounds spell. Likewise, a Desecrated character struck with a Life spell would be struck Dead but would be brought back to life with a Death spell.
Furthermore, a Desecrated character may never cast Curing or Life spells, or nor use any item, potion, or ability that grants such spells. They will not be able to use Nature Magic either.

In order to go out of game, a player must wear a white headband.
Legends Rule:
In Mead Legends a player can also go out of game by placing his/her fist to their head. You should do this if you want to address another player as yourself example: A quarter master checks that you are hydrated and says “Please drink more water.” with their first to their head; or to ask a rules marshal a question. Preferably you should stay in game as much as possible and rather use a white headband.

Nero Rule (if any):
Nero only keeps track of your number of Deaths.
Legends Rule:
A character enters the game with 4 lives. When a character dies, he loses one life and his number of lives lost is updated. A character gains an additional life every second level, for example levels 4, 6, 8, 10 etc. A player can buy additional lives for 50 goblin points. A player may not purchase additional lives for a character that has reached 10 lives. A character will still gain lives above this total when levelling normally.

Nero Rule (if any): Nero has guilds with workshops where characters can produce more production items.
Legends Rule: Instead of workshops, characters will be able to buy a production kit for production skills that function the same way as workshops.
A production kit contains items used by their associated production skill. For example, if a character creates scrolls, they will have a quill, ink and paper. For alchemy they will have a mortar, pestle and vials; for potions a cauldron and vials; for runic tattoos paint, brushes and carving implements.
Two characters will be able to share the same production kit.
Production Kits will need to be replaced once per year.

Players in Mead Legend who do excellent roleplaying (as determined by their peers) increase their experience point blanket by 2 x their character level. For example, Samual has done some excellent roleplaying whilst playing Erheart the Gallant and other players have indicated that to the organisers of the game. His character is level 12 and usually earns an experience point blanket of 102 experience point, but because of his great roleplaying, he will earn 102+12+12=126 instead.

Lore, (Specific, Knowledge)
Skill Name: Lore, (Specific, Knowledge)
Skill Category: Trades and Crafts Prerequisites: Read and Write, Special Skill
Cost: F:2 R:2 S:2 T:2
Skill Description: The Lore, Knowledge (Specific) skill may be taken for a variety of topics found in the world of Meadel and can provide valuable information to a character about the topic he has studied (A character can contact plot to acquire this information before an event). A Hold may never be called for the use of this skill.

Seamanship
Skill Name: Seamanship
Skill Category: Trades and Crafts
Prerequisites: Special Skill
Cost: F:2 R:2 S:2 T:2
Skill Description: The Seamanship allows a seafaring character to more swiftly and safely move through the dangerous oceans, seas, lakes, and rivers of Meadel. The character has spent some time on a ship and as such, has learned the necessary tools for survival while on the water, making him capable as an officer or captain on a vessel. In addition, the character is trained in the art of naval combat and tactics, enabling him to better direct other ships as well as participate in between-event naval combat. This skill has an impact on the Influence System.
Smithing As per the Nero Rulebook with the following addendum:
Restoring a Shattered Weapon:
To restore a shattered weapon or shield to a usable state a smith must spend the same required production points to repair it as was initially spent. For example to restore a long sword made from common materials would cost 2 production points whilst restoring a long sword made from Mithril would cost 8 production points and 1KG of Mithril.
A character without a sufficient number of levels to do so may not attempt to repair it.
Melting Items
Items can be melted down. However, when items are melted down, you will receive half of the special material originally used rounded down (0.5KG if 1KG was used originally) as well has half the gems in the original weapon rounded down (if the weapon contained 3 gems, only 1 will remain).
In order to melt an item down you will need to have enough smithing levels to work with the item (example 8 production points for a Mithril Long Sword), though the smith does not need to spend the production levels.
Melting down an enchanted weapon requires the smith to roll for the results on the Formal Magic Dark Territory Table with the following modifications:
- Where the table references the primary caster or all casters only the smith, and any items on him where applicable, takes the effect.
- With regards to any backlashes that effect those within the formal circle, only the smith, and any items on him where applicable, takes the effect.
- 11 - 17: Item is destroyed.
- 35: The smith takes 15 times the smithing levels required to smelt the item in arcane body damage
- 57 - 58: No effect
- 63 - 65: No effect
- 79 - 91: No effect
Shattering an item is sudden and destroys the item completely, causing the formal magic energies to rapidly disperse. Smelting is a slow process, in which the materials of the item are being saved to a degree. Such causes the formal magic energies to warp and build up in an unstable manner, then backlash upon the smith handling the item.
Roleplaying the melting process is a must.
Spycraft
Skill Name: Spycraft Skill
Category: Trades and Crafts
Prerequisites: Read and Write, Special Skill
Cost: F:2 R:2 S:2 T:2
Skill Description: This skill allows a character to gather intelligence and counter other espionage. This skill has an impact on the Influence system.

Skill Category: Trades and Crafts

Without this skill there is a strong chance of the traveller losing direction, dying of thirst or hunger, or even encountering one or more of its native and less than friendly inhabitants. This skill, most importantly, gives the possessor the ability to find water in the bleak landscape but also gives basic knowledge of the towns and inhabitants as well.

If a character does not have a spell book at the start of a reset period, he or she cannot memorize spells. A caster can memorize spells from his/her school that fit into his/her spell slots. If a spell book is stolen, the character must purchase a new spell book. No time is required to copy spells into the new spell book, but roleplaying the copying is encouraged. If a character picks up their first spell slots for either their primary or secondary spell schools between events, they are allowed to purchase a spell book before entering an event.
Spell Books can’t be shared amongst characters.
