Campaign of Scandiaca Dictionary

ACTION - A single order which a realm character executes during turn processing. An action is entered into the turn submission form using the dropdown boxes on the realm character turn page. Actions are formatted as follows... [action {:Parameter1{|Parameter2{|Parameter3}}}].

ACTION QUEUE - The box where your turn information is stored on the realm character turn submission page.

AGGRESSIVE - One of four possible intents. Aggressive realm characters seek battle with anyone they encounter, except for realm characters of the same dominion or an allied dominion. The chances of a random encounter with a creature increases when set to Aggressive. Note that one's infamy may increase when traveling as aggressive.

ATTRIBUTE POINT - When a Campaign Point is used to increase an existing character's Intellectual Strength, Physical Strength, or Mystical Strength, then that point is also called an attribute point. Every attribute point allocated increases the character's base scores. Every three attribute points earned grants one knowledge point.

CAMPAIGN POINTS(CPs)- Through adventuring, Realm Characters can earn Campaign Points for their Dominion. These points are used for Realm Character advancement. Campaign Points are the most important resource in the game - use them wisely. Realm characters earn CPs through adventuring and completion of Campaign Goals. These CPs can be used to increase attribute scores.

CRUSADE - One of four possible intents. Characters set for Crusade will act as if set to aggressive for all non-realm character encounters. However, if a realm character is encountered, they are treated as if they are set to Neutral unless that realm character is recognized as someone from a dominion that has been declared as an Enemy.

KNOWLEDGE POINT - These are earned by allocating Campaign Points toward a Realm Character's attribute scores. Knowledge points are "spent" by increasing one's abilities within a specific skill group.

SCORE - Your realm character's Score is what leads to earning more campaign points. Your Score increases all of the time, even from everyday activity. The Score you have is a combination of gold earned, creatures encountered (not necessarily attacked or killed), locations explored and general adventuring activity. At certain levels, your score produces a new campaign point to use.

VAULT - Your dominion has what is called your "Dominion Vault". It is a disconnected storage space for your valuables which you do not want to carry on your realm characters. It is only accessible when your realm characters are inside of a city or stronghold.
