Settings

A view if the settings window

In the settings view you can adjust some parameters for the app.

Pantheon

Note: Not all pantheons are currently implemented.

You can select one of the many pantheons of Venârivè. The deities as well as their divine aspect (see page 310), orthodox morality (see page 322) and sphere of influence will be displayed below. This will also affect the ceremonies and festivals that are shown in the calendar.

The pantheon in used for a given region can be found using the Regions & Languages tool.

Weather & Daylight

A closer view at the Weather & Daylight section.

Weather generation is done exactly as described on page 144 of the HMK rulebook, with two d10 and six d6 for each day, and then modifiers are applied depending on time of day or elevation, and interpreted according to season and climate zone, which you can select from the menu. This doesn't change the weather rolled (the two d10 stay the same), it just changes their interpretation.

The daylight depends on the season and latitude (as described on page 142). You can change the latitude with the menu in this section.

You can check the Extended Twilight button to add one hour of twilight in the morning and in the evening. For example when the location is mountainous. This setting is used in the "On the Silver Mode" (see below) can also be used on its own.

See more about the effects of these settings in the calendar controls documentation.

Other Settings

Below are a few settings that you may select.

  • Adjust cost of cloth and padded: this setting is off by default. This is the default parameter for new characters (it doesn't affect already created characters, each has its own parameter). If this is on here, new characters will have it on by default as well. Check the Equipment Value section of the character sheet documentation for more on this.

  • Move Calculation Option: this setting is on by default. If on it will adjust base move according to the table on page 56 for the height and frame traits of the character, in addition to the STR and AGL modifiers. If it's off it will only use the STR and AGL modifiers.

  • Bulk affects Personal Fatigue: if this is on, Personal Fatigue is based on ENC + BULK + 5, if this is off PF = ENC + 5.

Adventure Modes

A closeup of the adventure modes section.

At the moment there is only one adventure mode, but I may add more eventually. These are quick presets for running an adventure.

On the Silver Way

On the Silver Way is a free quickstart adventure that is very well written and is made to help both GMs and players get started with HârnMaster Kèthîra. It is available on Kelestia Productions website.

When you set this mode on, the date is set to the 23rd of Nuzyael, the time at 19:00, with Extended Twilight (see above) and the weather is modified so that it matches the weather in the adventure module. The weather modifier is also set to Mountainous (see the calendar documentation for more information on this setting). Remember to return the weather modifier to Lowlands around noon on the third day of the adventure, as the character come down from the mountain (this will set the correct temperature for that part of the adventure). When the adventure is over just uncheck this setting (and optionally the extended twilight setting). The next time you run the adventure, just check it on again!

Importing a character

You can import a character that was previously exported (using the 'Export Character' button on the character sheet). Press this button, locate the file for the character and open it. At the moment there are no warning if this fails but it's on the list of things to implement.

This might be used, for example, by a player sending their character to the GM (assuming that they are both using HMK Toolkit).
