What are shards?
Shards are like EXP within delerior. They are how you level up your character and create gems (which you can then use to increase your stats).
The amount of shards you gain are dependent on the content you create such as art, writing, and more.
All things that include your character should be kept on your tracking journal for easy add up!
You cannot get rid of or transfer shards to other characters! Once you have them they are yours forever!
In world, Shards are small blue crystal shards that are found throughout the world. When you have enough you can take them to a “gem smith” who can make them whole again. Full gems are about the average size of a grape. Shards and gems are stored in a small leather pouch on the hip.
What are gems?
Gems are awarded when you get a certain amount of shards! You the player must go to the “Gem Smith” journal within the group to receive your gems!
Once a gem is formed, you can place them on your character tracker to increase your stats! Increasing a stat gives a +1 modifier when you roll for various things.
The following gems are for tracker decoration to show different meanings! If you do have a negative modifier, we ask you use the negative gems instead of just getting rid of a plus.
