Path of Resolve

────────✧────────

The Path of Resolve is a path one walks, whether they know it or not; strength through change, power through will.

The Art Of Struggle

To struggle is to grow; the Path of Resolve is such a path.

The Path of Resolve is a personal journey that any character can walk, regardless of race, class, origin, or affiliation. There are no scrolls to read, no hidden masters to find; and one does not require anything to walk the path, just their resolve.

​

Instead, it is shaped through real feats: acts of growth, challenge, endurance, sacrifice, and courage, all showcased by the person as they go through life; every time a person pushes beyond their limits, they take a step further down this path, and they grow and benefit from it.


Everyone starts at Stage 0 by default. At this Stage, there is no benefit from the path, but it is the beginning; somewhere that all people must start before they can truly grow. When they accomplish something narratively meaningful, something that changes or tests them, they may submit it to review as a growth opportunity.

​

The Roleplay Team determines whether the event qualifies as a Breakthrough, allowing them to progress to the next Stage; keep in mind, breakthroughs are not earned by training posts or self-roleplay, they're tied to your growth and story.

​

A person is more likely to grow from taking on something that challenges them as a person, their level, and no two situations can work for people. Everyone faces different challenges, and everyone grows differently.

Growth

The benefits and boons of struggling.

Each Stage grants a permanent boost to your passive capabilities, both physical and magical:

Stage 1: +2 Physical, +1 Magic

Stage 2: +2 Physical, +1 Magic

Stage 3: +2 Physical, +2 Magic

Stage 4: +3 Physical, +2 Magic

Stage 5: +4 Physical, +3 Magic

Stage 6: +4 Physical, +3 Magic

Stage 7: +5 Physical, +4 Magic

Stage 8: +5 Physical, +4 Magic

Stage 9: +6 Physical, +5 Magic

Stage 10: +6 Physical, +5 Magic

Unknown...

​

These boosts stack cumulatively and add to the passive stat.

 

In addition to the fixed stat boosts, each Stage grants a single Boon chosen by the Roleplay Team. These boons are based on what was overcome, not pre-written templates. So, the more you overcome, the more you will grow; and the better you become, the harder the challenges you face.

Survived the Arctic Wastes? You gain passive frost resistance.

Resisted a mind-breaking curse? Your willpower becomes harder to shatter.

Held a bridge alone against twenty foes? You may fight better when outnumbered.
