INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the world of LIVING DIVINE, a massive persistent campaign. In our world, powerful beings walk the earth alongside mortals, tangled in a vast, unending battle with each other. Some fight for power. Others fight for survival. All yearn to find out what reward awaits them at the end.
THERE ARE NO TRUE GODS

Perhaps there were once gods in the heavens great, omnipotent beings that watched over all of creation. If so, then no record exists of them or their fate, and there is nothing to suggest that this was ever different. Maybe the gods are sitting in the shadows, watching the world go by. If so, they remain silent and distant, refusing to place their mark upon the world.
YOU ARE THE REAL DIVINITY

Every once in a while, an individual is born among mortals with a spark of divine power. These beings quickly stand out amongst the others, as they are gifted with great strength, wisdom, and superhuman powers. The great leaders of our world - kings and warlords, villains and heroes - all carry the gift of divinity.
GODS GO TO WAR WITH GODS

For longer than even the oldest god can remember, those with the divine gift have fought bitterly against each other for power, conquest, and survival. Mighty titans stride before armies of mortals, leading them into battle with their opponents and rivals. Some immortals choose to hide away from their more aggressive kin, in the hope of living their lives in peace. But it is only a matter of time before the struggle finds them, and they are drawn in.
THE PRIZE AWAITS

A great reward waits for the immortal that completes his journey - ascension into true godhood. Or, so say the rumors and legends that abound; none have yet attained that great goal, so none can know for certain. Will you be the first?

USING THIS GUIDE

This is an official LIVING DIVINE document. To get the most up-to-date version, and to learn more about the campaign, you should visit our web site at http://www.viceandvillainy.org/LivingDivine/. This guide is intended for players and gamemasters of the LIVING DIVINE campaign. Everything a player needs to know is contained here. A game master will also want to peruse the Living Divine Gamemasters Guide, available on our web site.
WHAT MAKES LIVING DIVINE DIFFERENT?

LIVING DIVINE was designed to be different than previous and existing Living campaigns, to fill a niche that was previously vacant: Story/Character-centric: Our campaign stresses the story both ours, and yours as the most important element of the game. Slower Character Growth: Since your story is so important, we want you to spend more time telling it. To this end, we award experience at a much slower rate than you may be used to with other campaigns. Less Combat Importance: Combat is not as significant in our campaign, as in other campaigns. You can often skirt entire combat situations with non-combat options, if you choose. No Arms Race: Campaigns often view the gamemaster-player relationship as adversarial; as players get more skilled, the gamemaster ramps up the difficulty to compensate. In a Living campaign, this leads to an arms race, where the difficulty keeps increasing, until more casual players are unable to play. In our campaign, we see the gamemaster as just another member of the audience, experiencing the story along with you. Our difficulty level is stationary. If you manage to conquer our combats and rout our puzzles, we say good for you. Less Rules Importance: We are less concerned with the rules than usual. By default, we use the latest errata of Dungeons & Dragons, 4th edition. Want to use the unerratad version? No problem. Want to include house-rules? As long as everyone is agreeable to that, great! Play the way you want to play. In fact, were willing to entertain attempts to convert our game to other game systems, as well. Just tell us what you want to do. Greater Difficulty: Anything worth having is worth fighting for. Our difficulty level is set higher than average. Death in our campaign is permanent, making every dangerous situation risky. And there is a chance to fail in every scenario (and failing doesnt necessarily mean death). Regional Structure: Our campaign divides the world into geographical regions, each with its own unique flavor and storyline. Local scenarios are

CAMPAIGN OVERVIEW
LIVING DIVINE is a Living campaign, using 4th Edition Dungeons & Dragons rules. Players create characters living immortals - that can be played in any LIVING DIVINE adventure that supports their levels of play, at events worldwide. As your character plays adventures, it earns experience points, treasure, and followers which stay with you from game to game.
WHAT IS A LIVING CAMPAIGN?

Living campaigns are a natural evolution of traditional home games. In a home game, your player character (PC) is one of five or so PCs. One person serves as gamemaster (GM), telling the story; they probably also design the world and setting that the PCs adventure in. In a Living campaign, your PC is one of thousands sharing the same world. The roles of story-teller and game master are separated: the campaign administrators known as the Council of Elders organize authors and publish their adventures, which are ordered and run by individual GMs. You take a seat at a table of four to six players at a convention or game day (or even with a home game group) and play in the same manner as you would a traditional home game. At the end of the adventure, your PC is awarded experience points (XP), treasure, and other rewards. Over the course of your play in the campaign, your PC grows and develops and becomes a part of the world. To further expand your play options, you can have multiple PCs, and experience the same world through different eyes. The major difference between a traditional home game and a Living campaign is breadth. In a Living campaign, you can interact with a diverse mix of thousands of players, while taking part in adventures that may span years and the globe.
only available in-region for six months, before they become available to the world at large. Some content is never available anywhere else. Unique Environment: The world of LIVING DIVINE is unique to the campaign. It is unlike any other setting, with all new creatures, races, and themes. So, grab a character sheet, give life to a new immortal, and start your rise to power

CHAPTER 1 GENERAL RULES

Even gods have rules governing their actions. This is a collection of general rules for the LIVING DIVINE campaign.
CHARACTER CREATION
LIVING DIVINE requires a legal, 4th edition character to play. As well, a few additional options need to be chosen to fit the campaign. Character creation is covered in greater depth in Chapter 2 Character Creation.
RULES VERSION
By default, LIVING DIVINE uses the 4th edition of the Dungeons and Dragons rules, with the latest errata, as determined by Wizards of the Coast.
SNEAK PREVIEW CHARACTERS

Between January and August 2011, LIVING DIVINE offered a sneak preview of the campaign. With this release and the official premiere of the campaign, the rules have changed and expanded. If you created a sneak preview character, you may recreate the character using the new, expanded rules. The Adventure Records you earned during the sneak preview remain with the new character.
ALTERNATE VERSIONS
Some players wish to use different versions of the Dungeons and Dragons, 4th edition rules. For instance, you may have the core rule books, but not want to use the errata. This is acceptable, as long as all players and the gamemaster at your table agree. In a convention or public game day setting, this is only acceptable if the Senior GM allows it.
HOUSE RULES
Some players wish to use house rules, to adjust the game to their liking. This is acceptable, as long as two conditions are met: first, all the players and the gamemaster at your table must agree. Second, you may not house rule anything that is explicitly ruled in this guide. For instance, you cannot decide that the campaigns permadeath rule does not apply at your table. In a convention or public game day setting, house rules are only acceptable if the Senior GM allows them.
CHARACTER ADVANCEMENT
As you play LIVING DIVINE scenarios, your character will gain experience and advance in level.
DIVINE TALENTS
There are many traits that separate living immortals from their mortal kin. In LIVING DIVINE, many of these differences are represented by the Divine Talents. These abilities expand the game to encompass the concepts of followers, large scale combat, deific portfolios, and divine spark. Every time your character gains a level, choose a new Divine Talent. Please refer to Chapter 3 Divine Talents for more details about these options.
ALTERNATE GAME SYSTEMS

Some players would like to play LIVING DIVINE using earlier versions of Dungeons & Dragons, or different game systems, altogether. Converting the game to a completely different rule set is not a trivial task. If you are interested in doing the translation work, contact us, and we will happily help you meet your goal and expand the game for everyones benefit.
MANIFESTATIONS
Your actions have repercussions, most noticeably in your appearance. At the end of every adventure, the DM can grant you a domain keyword. Every time you gain a level, there is a chance that you gain a new Manifestation of one of these keywords. Please refer to Chapter 4 - Domains for more details about these occurrences.
Page 5 of 50
RETRAINING
LIVING DIVINE uses the normal rules for retraining: you may only retrain one feat, power, or skill selection per level. Changing other aspects of your character is considered cheating.
DEATH FROM DAMAGE

Normally, your character dies when your current hit points are reduced to your bloodied value expressed as a negative number. LIVING DIVINE does not use this rule. The only way to die is to fail three death saving throws.
PLAYING SCENARIOS
Please refer to Chapter 9 Playing Scenarios for all of the rules and restrictions involved with playing LIVING DIVINE scenarios. Here are a few of the important things to know: Introductory and Core scenarios can be played anywhere. Regional scenarios can only be played within the region for the first six months. Scenarios are created for particular level ranges. If your character is outside of that range, you cannot play. You may play a scenario once per character.
KNOCKING YOUR CHARACTER UNCONSCIOUS

Some of your opponents have no desire to kill you. When they strike a blow that reduces you to 0 hit points or fewer, they can choose to knock you unconscious rather than kill you. Until you regain hit points, you are unconscious but not dying. Any healing makes you conscious. If you do not receive any healing, you are restored to 1 hit point and become conscious after a short rest.
EQUIPMENT
Please refer to Chapter 7 Magic Items for the rules concerning magic items and equipment.
MILESTONES
Each of the encounter types in LIVING DIVINE (Combats, Hazards, Large Scale Combats, Puzzles, Investigations, and Skill Challenges) count towards milestones.
PURCHASABLE EQUIPMENT
You may only purchase non-magical equipment. You may purchase any non-magical equipment from the Armor and Shields, Weapons, and Adventuring Gear sections of the Equipment chapter of the Players Handbook. You may not purchase Everburning Torches, Journeybread, or Sunrods.
DEATH AND DYING

LIVING DIVINE is a higher-difficulty campaign. As such, it has very specific rules concerning death.
EXOTIC ARMS AND ARMOR

Travelers that have made their way outside of the Agris Valley have reported that other cultures use different weapons some small variants on the ones you are used to, others much more exotic. Perhaps, someday, you will get to see them for yourself
PERMADEATH
When a living immortal dies, they are permanently dead. This includes the player characters. The Raise Dead ritual only works on mortals. The moment a living immortal dies, their divine spark and indeed their life force instantly leaves their body, leaving only a lifeless shell behind. This extends to any other power or ability that can bring the dead back to life it works on mortals, but not immortals.
LOANING EQUIPMENT
You may loan your equipment out to the other characters at your table. It must be returned at the end of the session, or else it is lost forever, and neither character gets to keep it. Imbued items (see Chapter 7 Magic Items) are a special case. These items lose their enchantment if they are out of your possession for about an hour.
Page 6 of 50
RITUALS
Rituals are a major source of magical power in the LIVING DIVINE world, like any other. The big difference with our world is that the only casters are immortals, who are relatively rare. A caster cant go out and simply buy a ritual book or scroll at the city market. Unless you are fortunate enough to find one, you must research a new ritual yourself. You may add a new ritual to your collection by researching it between scenarios. To research a new ritual, you need to spend five times the market price of the ritual. You may research any ritual of your level, or lower.

CHAPTER 2 CHARACTER CREATION

Before you can play a LIVING DIVINE scenario, you need to create a character. You will need a Players Handbook, a character sheet, a Living Divine Character Log Sheet (available from our web site) and these guidelines to create a legal character.
COMMON RACES
The common races are the people of the world: you can find villages and cities of humans or elves. They make up what one would call civilization and society. Common races can be selected at no cost. Common Races Dwarf Elf Half-elf Halfling Human
CREATING A BASIC CHARACTER

Create a legal guidelines: character, using the following All characters start at 1st level. Ability scores are not rolled. Use Method 1 or 2 from the Players Handbook to generate ability scores for your character. Only non-magical equipment may be purchased. Each character starts out with 100 gp and may purchase any non-magical equipment from the Armor and Shields, Weapons, and Adventuring Gear sections of the Equipment chapter of the Players Handbook. Players may not purchase Everburning Torches, Journeybread, or Sunrods. LIVING DIVINE does not use alignments. All characters are considered unaligned. LIVING DIVINE does not use backgrounds. Do not choose a deity. Traditional deities do not exist in LIVING DIVINE. Character options may be chosen from most published resources. Those that are specific to other worlds, such as the Forgotten Realms Players Guide or Eberron Players Guide, are generally not allowed. Exceptions to the above rule: Powers, feats, and other rules options from the Forgotten Realms Players Guide concerning genasi are allowed. The Warlock Dark Pact from the Forgotten Realms Players Guide is allowed.
UNCOMMON RACES
The Uncommon Races are not really races at all. Rather, they are aberrations and mutations, the product of latent bloodlines and smoldering divinity. There are no societies of these creatures youll never find a village of dragonborn. Rather, a dragonborn might be the offspring of two (rather surprised) human parents. Uncommon Races Bladeling Deva Dragonborn Eladrin Genasi Gnome Goliath Half-orc Longtooth Shifter Minotaur Razorclaw Shifter Revenant Shadar-kai Shade Tiefling Vryloka Wilden Incidentally, the only members of the Uncommon Races are living immortals. They have a strong natural

SELECTING A RACE
Some races are considered uncommon in LIVING DIVINE. These races can be played, but at a cost. Races that are not listed are not available for play in LIVING DIVINE.
advantage when it comes to convincing mortals of their divinity. Uncommon races cost a Divine Talent to use. If you play a revenant or shade, you may only choose from the Common Races and Uncommon Races lists when choosing your former race.
UNCOMMON CLASSES
The Uncommon Classes are those with more exotic abilities. They are more unusual, and are not as easy to take up. Uncommon classes cost a Divine Talent to use. Uncommon Classes Ardent Assassin Avenger Barbarian Bard Battlemind Binder (Warlock) Blackguard (Paladin) Druid Invoker Monk Psion Runepriest Seeker Shaman Sentinel (Druid) Sorcerer Vampire Warden
RARE RACES
The Rare Races are even harder to find; so hard, in fact, that we arent going to list them here. Rare races are only legal for play with campaign documentation signed by a Council of Elders member, and they are not given out lightly. Rare races cost two Divine Talents to use.
SELECTING A CLASS
Some classes are considered uncommon in LIVING DIVINE. These classes can be played, but at a cost. Classes that are not listed are not available for play in LIVING DIVINE.
COMMON CLASSES
The common classes are those with fairly typical abilities. They are easy to take up as a career path. Common classes can be played at no cost. Common Classes Cavalier (Paladin) Cleric Fighter Hexblade (Warlock) Hunter (Ranger) Knight (Fighter) Mage (Wizard) Paladin Ranger Rogue Scout (Ranger) Slayer (Fighter) Thief (Rogue) Warlock Warlord Warpriest (Cleric) Wizard
HYBRID CHARACTERS
Hybrid character classes are a special case. To play a hybrid character, you must spend a Divine Talent. That allows one of your hybrid classes to be from the Uncommon Classes list, but at least one must be from the Common Classes list. If youd like to use two classes from the Uncommon list, you must spend a second talent.
CHARACTER LOG SHEET

At this point in the process, you will need a Living Divine Character Log Sheet. The first thing you will want to do is fill out the personal information section (#1 on the example). Put your character and real names, your character class, and the current date. Then, continue with the rest of this section.
Page 9 of 50
CHARACTER LOG SHEET
ROLLING YOUR DIVINE TRAIT

At the first scenario you sit down to play with this character, your DM must watch you roll a d10. Write the result on your log sheet where it says Divine Trait (#3 in the example). This determines information about your character that you dont get to know - the significance of this result may become evident over time.
YOUR CHARACTERS BACKGROUND

In most campaigns, you would need to come up with an elaborate background for your character. In LIVING DIVINE, most of this is taken care of for you. Your character was born in a rural area in the Agris Valley a safe, prosperous area, protected from the influence of outside immortals. You have always known that you are destined for greatness. From a very young age, you could feel the divine spark smoldering within you. Over time, it began to show itself in the form of extraordinary abilities and talents, setting you apart from your mortal kin. For your own personal reasons, you have finally decided to fan that flame, and take your rightful place in the annals of history. Youve ventured forth from your homes, and made your way to a small village called Longhill Please refer to Chapter 8 The World of Living Divine for more information on the setting of the Living Divine campaign.
CHOOSING A DIVINE TALENT

Divine talents are the aspects of your character that make you a living deity. LIVING DIVINE characters choose a Divine Talent at 1st level, and every level thereafter. You can find the list of Divine Talents in Chapter 3 Divine Talents. If youve selected an Uncommon Race, you must select Uncommon Race as your first Divine Talent. If youve selected an Uncommon Class, you must select Uncommon Class as your first Divine Talent. If youve selected both an Uncommon Race and an Uncommon Class, or are playing a Rare Race, or are playing a hybrid, your talent selections for the first few levels may be already chosen for you. Fill out those first few levels with Uncommon Race and Uncommon Class, as needed, to meet that obligation. You wont be choosing a talent at those levels. Otherwise, choose a Divine Talent from the list, and write it on your log sheet in the talent section (#2 in the example).

CHAPTER 3 DIVINE TALENTS

There are many traits that separate living immortals from their mortal kin. In LIVING DIVINE, many of these differences are represented by the Divine Talents. These abilities expand the game to encompass the concepts of followers, large scale combat, deific portfolios, and divine spark. LIVING DIVINE characters choose a Divine Talent at 1st level, and every level thereafter. Some talents are available at Paragon and Epic tiers.

If youve selected an Uncommon Race, you must select Uncommon Race as your first Divine Talent. If youve selected an Uncommon Class, you must select Uncommon Class as your first Divine Talent. If youve selected both an Uncommon Race and an Uncommon Class, or are playing a Rare Race, or are playing a hybrid, your talent selections for the first few levels may be already chosen for you. Fill out those first few levels with Uncommon Race and Uncommon Class, as needed, to meet that obligation. You wont be choosing a talent at those levels.

CHAPTER 4 - DOMAINS
Immortals define themselves through their portfolio the aspects of existence that they have dominion over. In LIVING DIVINE, this influence is represented through domains. Immortals gain power within domains by choosing Domain Power I, as a Divine Talent, for a given domain. They enhance that power by selecting Domain Power II, and so forth. Additional levels are available at the Paragon and Epic tiers. An immortal may choose up to two domains for their portfolio. CHARACTER LOG SHEET
MANIFESTATIONS
Your actions have repercussions, most noticeably in your appearance. At the end of every adventure, the DM can (but does not have to) pick out one event from the adventure that stands out in their mind. They choose a domain keyword that describes the event, and write it on your Adventure Record. For instance, during an adventure, your character selflessly leaps in front of some defenseless mortals, attempting to save them from harm. The DM decides to award you the keyword Good for this adventure, and writes it on your tracking form. One of your allies, however, gets needlessly violent with his followers during another incident, and receives the keyword Evil. The keyword granted to you need not describe your character as a whole. For instance, your paladin may spend the majority of an adventure being good, and the DM may choose a single evil act as the one to use. Every time you gain a level, roll a 20-sided die. If the roll is 15 or better, you gain a new Manifestation. For every keyword you have earned since you last gained a level, put a slip of paper with that keyword into a hat. If a keyword appears multiple times, there should be multiple slips with that keyword in the hat. Draw one slip out of the hat; you gain a random trait with that keyword. Write this new Manifestation in the Manifestations section of your character log sheet (#5 on the example). These Manifestations, once gained, cannot be removed through any means. They are not intended to affect gameplay, and should not be either an
advantage or a hindrance. Rather, they should add only flavor. The Manifestation traits listed with each domain are only examples. If you and your Game Master can come up with a trait that you like better, use it.
POWERS
Each domain lists the powers gained for each level of the domain taken as a Divine Talent. Several domains, particularly ones with similar emphasis, have similar powers.

CHAPTER 5 - FOLLOWERS
Where would a god be without legions of fanatical devotees? Followers are people that believe in your divinity, and are willing to toil for your cause. In LIVING DIVINE, followers are treated as a commodity gained from adventuring, much like experience points or treasure. If you had to deal with the logistics of thousands of individuals, each with their own personalities and statistics, each one needing to be treasured (or abused, if thats more your style), it would quickly become unmanageable. As well, when you travel from one region to another, how many would stay behind, and how many new folks would join you? To simplify this, your Follower Count is a single number, representing the number of worshippers at your beck and call at any given moment. Adventuring raises this number; sending them into perilous situations reduces it. So, youve got a pool of devoted worshippers at your disposal. What can you do with them? FOLLOWER BONUSES Followers 1-2 3-5 6 - 10 11 - 20 21 - 40 41 - 80 81 - 160 161 - 320 321 - 750 751 - 1,500 1,501 - 3,000 3,001 - 6,000 6,001 - 12,000 12,001 - 25,000 25,001 - 50,000 50,001 - 100,000 100,001 - 200,000 200,001 - 500,000 500,001 1,000,000 1,000,001 2,000,000 2,000,001+
GROUP BONUS
The follower chart provides a bonus, depending on the size of the group of followers. Some actions allow you to choose how many of your followers you commit to a task. Others simply use your entire follower pool.
Group Bonus +0 +1 +2 +3 +4 +5 +6 +7 +8 +9 +10 +11 +12 +13 +14 +15 +16 +17 +18 +19 +20
RISK
Sometimes your followers dont return from their assigned tasks. Each action is rated by how dangerous it is for your minions. At the gamemasters discretion, the risk for an action may be increased by one category, up to Very Dangerous. For instance, if you ask your followers to explore woods full of dangerous creatures, the gamemaster can decide to treat it as Mildly Dangerous. When determining losses from a dangerous action, you only lose followers if the die result is positive. No Risk All of your followers return. Mildly Dangerous You lose 1d8 4 followers. Very Dangerous You lose 1d20 10 followers. Deadly If they fail, none of your followers return. The gamemaster may not arbitrarily raise the risk to this level.
O.P.P (OTHER PEOPLES PRACTITIONERS)

Unless otherwise specified, you may not combine your followers with those of your allies. Your followers worship you, not them.
HELPFUL FOLLOWERS
Each follower task includes a list of helpful followers particular occupations that help with that task. If you have the Sanction Bards Divine Talent, for instance, and a task lists bards as helpful followers, then that task gains a benefit from those followers. Refer to Chapter 3 Divine Talents to learn more about these options, and to see what the actual bonus is for a given talent.

CHAPTER 6 - LARGE SCALE COMBAT

One of the most powerful abilities possessed by living immortals is the ability to command great numbers of mortal followers. Sometimes, those followers can best serve their deity by taking up arms, and going to war. LIVING DIVINE uses a simplified system to handle large-scale combat. A tactical map is used in the same manner, except that every creature is an entire battalion of armed followers.

CREATING A BATTALION
Before you can lead your followers to their certain demise, you must form them up into battalions. Each battalion acts as a single unit on the battlefield.
CHOOSE THE SIZE OF YOUR BATTALION

First, decide how many followers will be in this battalion, up to a maximum of 500. The battalion has that many hit points. Each hit point lost represents a creature being defeated, and no longer able to contribute.
FIND YOUR BONUSES

Next, find the number of followers on the follower chart.

At the beginning of your battalions turn, as a minor action, you may abandon the battalion and flee to safety. You no longer are in danger from critical hits. However, your forces do not appreciate being abandoned. The battalion immediately loses the Will Defense and Damage bonuses you provided, and also suffers a penalty to its Will Defense equal to the bonus you provided.

CHANGING UNITS
On your battalions turn, as a minor action, you may stop leading that battalion, and start leading another. The two units must be within three squares of each other. The old unit loses your bonuses, and the battalion you are joining gains them. If you have changed battalions, you may not change again until after the end of your new units next turn. The original battalion only suffers the penalty for being abandoned if it appears that you are changing units to escape harm. This is applied at the GMs discretion.
AFTER THE FIGHT

After the combat, count up the number of hit points your battalions lost. Subtract that number from your follower count those followers were killed in the battle. You may reduce these losses by immediately instructing your followers to use a Heal Thyself action. If successful, you only lose half of the followers defeated in the battle. Refer to Chapter 5 - Followers for more details on this option.

CHAPTER 7 MAGIC ITEMS

Where would a fantasy roleplaying game be without slotted equipment items by imbuing them. powerful arms and armor? Such artifacts are a staple of the genre, and our game is no exception. In LIVING DIVINE, you wont generally find magic items laying around in treasure hoards or in the pockets of random thugs; magic in our world comes from living immortals, and that magic usually fades quickly when they perish. This means you will generally have to create your own items.
IMBUING AN ITEM
IMBUED ITEMS

If you want to always been partly defined by their possessions. At the same time, these possessions have been largely defined create a magical longsword, you must first own a regular longsword. You may not create masterwork by the substance of the immortal that possesses them. armor without campaign documentation allowing it. The process through which immortals instill an The process of imbuing an item takes about a week, object with some of their divinity is called imbuing an so generally it can only be done between scenarios. item. An immortal can create a limited number of CHARACTER LOG SHEET
The process of imbuing an item begins by selecting the requisite Divine Talents. Choose the talent Imbue Item I. Next, choose a piece of non-magical equipment that you possess. This can be any of the following types of equipment: Armor, Weapon, Implement, Arm Slot, Feet Slot, Hands Slot, Head Slot, Neck Slot, Rings Slot, or Waist Slot. The chosen item becomes a magic item of the same type from any player legal source, up to your Character Level 2.
IMPROVING AN ITEM
Perhaps youd like a more powerful item. Choose the talent Improved Imbue Item I. Now, that item can be of a level up to your Character Level. Still not powerful enough? Supreme Imbue Item I raises the limit to Character Level + 2.
IMBUING MORE ITEMS

You can never have enough magic items. If youd like to imbue more items, take the Imbue Item II talent, and then the Imbue Item III talent, and so on. Additional talents are available at Paragon and Epic tiers. These additional talents also have Improved and Supreme versions for enhancing these new items.
LOSING AN IMBUED ITEM

If an imbued item leaves your possession, it reverts to its non-magical state within about an hour. If you get the item back, and hang on to it for at least eight hours, this hour timer resets. You may also voluntarily disenchant an item by simply willing it to happen, and waiting an hour for
the enchantment to fade. The Disenchant Magic Item ritual does not work on imbued magic items, since they cannot be created through the normal means.
CHANGING ENCHANTMENTS
You may change which enchantments your talents are sustaining at any time. To do so, you need to merely disenchant your existing item, and then imbue a new one. This means that you can select new items between scenarios, and that your items improve over time (along with your Character Level).
CRAFTED ITEMS
Characters with the Enchant Magic Item ritual cannot use it to create slotted magic items. However, it is the only way to create non-slotted items, such as Wondrous Items and Potions. You can also create other items, such as the magical vehicles, elixirs, and whetstones found in Adventurers Vault, or the magical tattoos and reagents found in Adventurers Vault 2. LIVING DIVINE does not permit the immurements from Adventurers Vault 2. The campaign allows the creation of the Wondrous Lair enhancements from Adventurers Vault 2. However, they can only be created within a Deific Realm, created by the Paragon-level Divine Talent of the same name. As well, with the Enchant Magic Item ritual you can craft minor magic items such as sunrods, everburning torches, and journeybread. All you need to do is spend the value of the desired item. Characters with the Alchemist feat (from Adventurers Vault) can craft any of the alchemical items, once they research the item. They can research the item by simply paying the formula cost.

CHAPTER 8 THE WORLD OF LIVING DIVINE

The world of Living Divine is made up of many geographical regions, each with its own history and culture. The player characters of the campaign all originate from within the Agris Valley, so we need only describe your home for now. Protection, as it is called, prevents outside immortals from entering the valley. And so, for two generations, it has remained safe. Present Day: Only one of the creators of the Protection still lives the Guardian, Harthgorn. He rules over the Agris Valley from the lonely tower of the Alabaster Keep, at the center of the capital city of Northvale. Harthgorn is an even-tempered deity, giving great freedom to his people. Some might even say he is lax absent from public view for weeks at a time. Most day to day operations of the realm are handled by the Church of Light, Harthgorns priests. Alabaster Keep: Built by the founders of the realm, the Alabaster Keep is the seat of power in the Agris Valley. Its predominant feature is a tall, white tower that extends high over the city of Northvale. Dozens of priests of the Church of Light live and work within the keeps walls. At the center of the Keep is the Solar Sanctum, a great glass atrium housing expansive gardens. The Sanctum is a popular destination for local townsfolk, who will often take a leisurely lunch among the exotic flowers and abundant sunshine. It is speculated that many mysteries have been secreted within the chambers of the Alabaster Keep over the years. Deep Marshes: Expansive bogs lie in the northeastern reaches of the valley. Despite the unappealing environment, some people make a living harvesting peat, and distilling a distinctive, smoky whiskey. Legend tells of a great, unseen beast that stalks the marshes at night. Singing Stones: Hidden away in the northernmost hills of the valley is a circle of standing stones. As wind blows through the stones, the sound can easily be mistaken for nondescript voices. A listener can make out syllables and the occasional word. Occasionally, the wind in the stones speaks at greater length, delivering whole prophecies. Corrans Pass: The Agris Valley has only one exit a tunnel through the mountains at the southernmost point. Mortals frequently travel in and out of the valley, making Corrans Gate the city nearest the pass into the largest hub of commerce in the region.
AGRIS VALLEY
Ruler: Harthgorn, the Guardian, Lord of the Alabaster Keep Government: Sole theocratic dictatorship; under the leadership of Harthgorn, with priests from the Church of Light holding supporting roles Capital: Northvale Major Towns: Northvale (pop. 62,100), Corrans Gate (pop. 24,200), Landigard (pop. 10,200), Highwall (pop. 7,800) Provinces: Two city districts (Northvale and Corrans Gate), two townships (Landigard and Highwall), and fifteen village mayorships. Resources: Copper, iron ore, gems, rare woods Coinage: Noble (pp), Crown (gp), Mark (sp), Common (cp) Population: 111,800 83% Human, 9% Dwarf, 3% Elf, 2% Halfling, 1% Half-elf, 2% Other Languages: Common Prominent Immortals: Harthgorn (Sun and Protection), Adenistolis (Fire and Destruction), Sibvlynn (Luck and Wilderness), Leena (Lightning and Storms) Allies: None Enemies: None History: Two generations ago, the world was beset by great wars. Weary of all the disorder, three immortals looked for a way to distance themselves from their more aggressive kin. They found an answer in a largely untouched agricultural region at the source of the Agris River. Weaving powerful magic together, the trio created a dome of protective magic over the valley. The

CHAPTER 9 PLAYING SCENARIOS

REGIONS
The campaign world of LIVING DIVINE is divided into several nations and political states. These areas are mapped onto sections of the real world, each with its own flavor and storyline. For instance, New England represents the Darkmourne region - a dark land of gothic horror, where a reclusive baron looks impassively over his subjects. New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware represent the Imbrateur region an expanse of overgrown ruins and lost cities with an action/adventure flair. Each region is managed by a trio of volunteers called the Tribunal. They are responsible for the local administration of the campaign, and work with the Council of Elders to bring the best gaming experience possible.
ADVENTURE TYPES
There are five types of LIVING DIVINE adventures: introductory, regional, core, and special. You may play adventures as many times as you like, but many only play each scenario once with a given PC. Introductory adventures are designed for new characters. They take place in the Agris Valley, the region from which all of the PCs come. Introductory adventures may be played anywhere in the world. Regional adventures take place in and advance the plot of a single region. For the first three months after their release, Regional adventures may be run only at conventions within the borders of their real-world region. After three months, they may be run at smaller game days within the region. After six months, they may be run by home groups and outside of their real-world region. Core adventures take place in areas outside the normal regions of the game. They advance the overall plot of the campaign. Core adventures premiere at the largest conventions, and may only be run at conventions for the first three months of their life. After three months, they may be run at smaller game days. After six months, they may be run by home groups. Regional Special adventures are a chance for regions to really shine. Only taking place at conventions within the borders of their real-world region, they are allowed to break the mold; a Regional Special adventure may be just like a normal adventure, or they might involve live action role playing, or a great battle that spans dozens of tables at the same time. Often, the outcome of these events changes and shapes the plot line for the region. Core Special adventures are similar to Regional Specials, in that they can be almost anything. They run at the largest conventions, but a version is released that can be played at smaller conventions, game days, and even at home.
SCENARIO AVAILABILITY
LIVING DIVINE actively supports the convention and public game day communities. Some content is only available at these public events, until it has reached a certain age. LIVING DIVINE scenarios do not expire. Once they are released, they are always available for play. Scenarios may be updated from time to time, depending on changes occurring within the campaign.
LEVEL RANGE
LIVING DIVINE adventures are written for particular character levels. An Introductory adventure is written only for new characters (levels 1 - 3), while a Heroic Tier scenario is written for a broader range (levels 1 10). If your character is not in the designated level range for a scenario, they cannot participate.
REPLAY
You may play LIVING DIVINE scenarios once per character. If you are replaying a scenario, you should inform the gamemaster at the start of the game. You must keep knowledge your character doesnt have out of the game, and should try not to spoil the story for the other players.
