  • 13Th Age Archmage Engine, Versione Italiana 2.0
    Icone L’Archmage Engine di 13th Age supporta il concetto di icone. Un’icona è un potente PNG (personaggio non giocante) che ha una grande influenza sul mondo al di fuori della campagna, ma può comunque aiutare o avversare il tuo personaggio nel corso di essa, a seconda dei rapporti che hanno i personaggi con l’icona. Le icone hanno la propria storia, allineamento e personalità. Le conoscenze e le storie che circolano su di esse possono divergere molto; possono essere individui ben noti o misteriosi. Essi possiedono a loro volta dei rapporti con le altre icone, che possono essere amichevoli, di tolleranza o rivalità. Il tuo personaggio può avere dei rapporti con determinate icone. Questo rapporto, qualora esista, può essere positivo, conflittuale o negativo. Vedi Rapporti con le Icone. 13th Age Archmage Engine, versione italiana 2.0.
