Mining

Intellect / Prowess
Resource (Common)

Mining is the practiced art of extracting valuable resources from beneath the earth. Skilled miners are able to locate veins of precious metals, gemstones, and minerals, and use specialized tools to harvest them efficiently.

Default Action

Mine Resource

Fatigue

Tempo: 1 hour.
Fatigue: 1.
Range: Adjacent.
DT: Based on Resource.

By spending an hour of work, you are able to extract useful Resources from the earth. Whether ore, stone, gems, or other minerals, you collect one unit of the target Resource. The DT is based on the type of Resource being mined.

  • Actions

    • Basic

      • Excavation

        Fatigue

        Tempo: 1 hour.
        Fatigue: 1.
        Range: Adjacent.
        DT: 10 + distance in Paces.

        You can use this Action to dig a hole or tunnel roughly large enough for you to stand in over the course of an hour. While you can choose to excavate farther with a single Check, doing so increases the DT.

        On a failed Check, the excavation may suffer from a collapse. So, most individuals choose to dig safely and methodically, especially when tunneling deep underground.

  • Augments

    • Basic

      • Competent Collection

        Persistent

        Fatigue: 1+.

        When harvesting Resources with this Ability, you may harvest a number of additional Resources equal to the Rank of this Augment with each successful Check, limited by the available Resources in the area. You gain 1 Fatigue for each additional Resource harvested with this Augment.

      • Efficient Mining

        Persistent

        Tempo: -5 minutes+.

        Your are able to mine Resources more quickly. You may reduce the Tempo of Mine Resource by 5 minutes for each Rank of this Augment.

      • Work Smarter, Not Harder

        Persistent

        By employing efficient techniques, taking strategic breaks, and optimizing your efforts, you can work longer without tiring yourself. You may reduce the Fatigue gained from harvesting Resources with this Ability by an amount equal to the Rank of this Augment, to a minimum of 1.

    • Advanced

      • Resource Specialization

        Persistent

        Choose one specific Resource when you gain this Augment, such as Copper Ore, Spirit Lotus, or Aqueous Crysmuth. When using this Ability, you may add the Rank of this Augment to any Checks made to harvest, process, or work with the chosen Resource.

        Unlike other Augments, you can gain multiple instances of this Augment. You must choose a different specific Resource each time you do.
