Victorian Era

The Rookwood

Fox_

Birmingham burns as the French vie for war, witness it all in this Dark Victorian Narrative-RPG.

Author's Note: - 46 unique locations, 8 bosses, and 22 characters. - A city bogged down by industrialisation. - A royal conspiracy that threatens the fate of England. - Engage in tense gameplay as a betrayed noble turned highwayman. Raid estates, hold up and rob people on the road, or act as a mercenary against the French as King Richard flirts with war. - Slice-of-life options: become a master thief, burgle houses as a chimney sweep, attend noble galas, or assist a troubled journalist in deciphering a cryptic letter that threatens the fate of England.... I strongly recommend starting your campaign with ''Generate Points of Interest'' and ''Generate Areas'' disabled. With these options toggled off, Franz will make use of the areas as intended.

Actions

Dirty Politics

The House of Lords can manipulate the battlefield by creating zones of influence that grant advantage to allies and disadvantage to enemies within a 30-foot radius.

Influence of Francis II

Once per encounter, the House of Lords can call upon the favor of Francis II, granting them a temporary boost in power, increasing their attack rolls and damage by 2 for one round.

Objection

As a bonus action, the House of Lords can create a cacophony of arguments, causing all creatures within 60 feet to make a Wisdom saving throw or be distracted, imposing disadvantage on their next attack roll.
