Time in Darklands

For telling time, Darklands uses the monastic system of hours that was in use in the Middle Ages, based on prayer routines in monasteries. It's pretty simple, here's how it works:

Matins: Midnight

Latins: 3 AM

Prime: 6 AM

Terce: 9 AM

Sexts: Noon

Nones: 3 PM

Vespers: 6 PM

Compline: 9 PM

Easy, right? :)

Combat, stats, attributes and stuff

Doesn't matter a great deal. It's just there for immersion and as a guideline, so you don't make a character do something really unrealistic, that doesn't fit with his or her description. Battle systems bore me, so there is none. With attributes, use common sense: a character with a smokin' hot bod but low charisma will definitely be able to seduce a guard, but probably won't be able to talk his or her way into a palace, or out of a fight with bloodthirsty bandits. A petite little girl with "average" strength probably can't wield a 50-pound axe. Etc. etc.
