Attributes define a character’s personal capabilities in War of the Realm. They influence everything from duels and crafting to religious rites, political schemes, and naval travel. Attributes are divided between Primary and Secondary Attributes. Primary Attributes represent your character’s physical, mental, and personal abilities while Secondary Attributes reflect skills tied to world systems, administration, or specialized roles. These Attributes will allow you to increase your skills in various ways. Each Attribute has a specific purpose that is important to every build, some offering direct damage increases while some offer unique perks as your skill with them raises.

Certain Regions and Houses give base AP increases that are allocated in specific ways, increasing their Strength, Dexterity and other Primary Attributes while some Feats and special prizes may increase one's Secondary Attributes. It should be noted that in all instances where Attribute Points are gained, the highest collection from one source will be gained and these will not stack together. This means that two different boosts applied to one Attribute will not stack. Members gain more Attributes based on their Character Rank, leveling up when certain checkmarks and EXP requirements are met. In rare occasions, special awards and campaigns may grant members bonus AP.

In War of the Realm, Primary Attributes represent a character’s core physical capabilities. They directly influence combat effectiveness, movement, reflexes, survivability, and tactical skill. These stats form the foundation of all battlefield and narrative actions.

Secondary Attributes in War of the Realm represent specialized skills beyond combat. Crafting handles gear and structure upgrades, Stewardship boosts building and regional control, Navigation improves travel and encounter avoidance, and Piety unlocks unique religious abilities. These stats shape a character’s strategic and support role in the world.

Secondary Attribute connects to key gameplay systems, going beyond just physical attributes like Primary Attributes. Crafting supports structure upgrades, equipment creation, and economy-building. Stewardship ties into regional management, building efficiency, and control over multiple landmarks. Navigation influences land and sea travel, wild beast encounters, and access to advanced vessels. Piety powers religious abilities and unlocks faith-specific perks. These attributes guide how players grow, manage, and specialize their role in the realm.

Strength Attribute
1. Strength measures a character's raw physical power. It determines their ability to deliver powerful melee attacks, wield heavier weapons and armor, carry more supplies or wounded, break down doors, lift debris, or intimidate through sheer presence. In the War of the Realm system, Strength is a core stat used in combat, siege actions, duels, and physical tasks across RP and battlefield scenarios. Unlike Dexterity or Speed, it does not rely on precision or agility - it is force in its purest form. Some ability checks require a roll or comparison of respective Strength stats to perform. Some Combat Feats require minimum Strength levels to unlock (e.g., “Crushing Blow” or “Iron Grasp”), requiring a certain level before they can be obtained or used.

Knockback Effect
The Formula ”X Amount of Points in Damage Magnitude – X Amount of Points in Damage Shaving = X Amount of Meter Knockback helps measure the knockback distance travelled after interacting with an opposing force. An example of the formula:

1 DMG – 1 DMG Shaving = 0 Meters of Knockback
2 DMG – 1 DMG Shaving = 1 Meter of Knockback
3 DMG – 1 DMG Shaving = 2 Meter of Knockback​

The Intrigue Attribute
1.Intrigue measures a character’s ability to manipulate, deceive, persuade, and operate behind the scenes. It reflects cunning, social maneuvering, clever lies, political skill, and subtle sabotage - everything from gaining forbidden knowledge to orchestrating betrayals. In War of the Realm, Intrigue governs spying, sabotage, secret actions, infiltrations, blackmail, and disinformation. A high Intrigue score doesn’t just let you survive politics - it lets you weaponize it.

Intrigue is not about charisma or battlefield bravery. It’s about seeing the game behind the game, where power isn’t always forged in blood, but in whispers, contracts, and betrayal. Intrigue Schemes are plots and actions designed to push agendas and manipulate others to their whim, scheming and executing behind the scenes. Primarily used during Phase 2 interactions, Schemes are separated via Tiers based on their impact and are executed via a D20 roll. Depending on the Tier of the Schemes, the success threshold of the Scheme varies and can be increased by increasing your Influence Attribute or specific Character Feats. Rolls have 4 possible outcomes, ranging from Critical Success to Critical Failures. The GM then reveals the outcome at the end of Phase 2. Some Schemes can only be executed in Phase 2 while some others can only be used after Phase 2 has taken place, noted in their description.

1 DMG – 1 DMG Shaving = 0 Meters of Knockback

✖ LIST OF SCHEMES?
Tier I - Focused on a single House or Landmark – minor-to-mid political moves. For Success, one must roll between 11 - 20.
  • Learn Secrets [1] Eavesdrop, interrogate, or bribe to uncover minor personal or local military information about a minor NPC or a real target in a landmark or region. Requires 1 Intrigue to use.
  • Blackmail [2] After learning a confirmed secret, the user exploits it against an NPC to gain an advantage over them. Through use of this Scheme, the user blackmails a Minor NPC to do his bidding. Cannot be used to force a target to attack another. Requires 2 Intrigue to use.
  • Bribery [2] Through the use of gold, the user bribes a minor NPC to do an action for them, be it voting for them to lie in their favor. These inconsequential bribes carry moderate power. Requires 2 Intrigue and 100 Gold to use.
  • Smear Campaign [3] The user begins to slander a target across a region, causing their Influence to decrease amongst the people there. These lies begin to negatively impact the target’s Influence in the chosen region, lowering their Influence there by 100.
  • Minor Manipulation [2] Subtly shift a person’s decision or view through whispered words or implied threats. This manipulation allows the user to force minor NPC to change their actions within reason. Requires a Secret to be known or use of threats to prevent aggressive action or use of Tier I Schemes.
  • Steal Heirlooms [3] Orchestrate the quiet theft of an artifact, token of power, or family symbol. This theft allows the theft of Tier I Equipment from an NPC in the same landmark of the user. Can be used alongside spies to steal from afar.

Tier II Schemes - Targets multiple Landmarks or destabilizes an entire region – mid-level operations. For a Success, one must roll between 16 to 20.

  • Little Birds [4] Deploy agents to report troop movements, political changes, or internal disputes across landmarks. These spies can be deployed to up to 3 landmarks to investigate, spread lies, gather information, etc. Use of these agents allows the user to perform multiple Schemes across different landmarks at one time. Requires 4 Intrigue to use and 150 Gold.
  • Fabricate Lies [4] Forge convincing documents or statements to spark confusion or unrest. These documents cause a loss of 150 Influence from a rival in a region. Requires 4 Intrigue to use.
  • Counterspies [4] Detect or dismantle rival spy networks and foil future secret actions. If deployed to a region where a Scheme is being used against the user, this increases odds of failure by 50% and if the same landmark, causes the Scheme to fail. Requires 5 Intrigue to use and 175 Gold.
  • Alliances [5] Quietly influence or mediate new political bonds before they reach public knowledge. This allows for official alliances, allowing members to band together. Grants both sides 150 Influence in their ally’s House Region. Requires 5 Influence to use.
  • Infiltration [6] Plant agents within a rival House, army, or council to influence decisions from within. Allows members to recruit minor House NPC or rival enemies to sow discord. These agents weaken a rival’s Stewardship effectiveness, causing an effective 2 point drop for a phase. Requires 6 Influence and costs 200 Gold.
  • Expose Secrets [6] Leak or reveal dark truths about a rival to damage trust and cause internal fractures. This can only be used after first gaining incriminating evidence and secrets of a rival, reducing their Influence in a region by 150.

Tier III Schemes - Realm-impacting plots — assassinations, betrayals, regime changes. For a Success, one must roll between 19 to 20.

  • Poison [7] Administer a hidden, lethal toxin to weaken or disable a key individual. This poison can be used solo to coat blades in Duels or as part of another Scheme, enabling more damaging effects. This can be used with Assassinations to create a poison assassination attempt, for example. If effective, this reduces the target’s Durability by 3 until healed. If used solo, this grants access to poisoned blades in Duels. Requires 7 in Intrigue and 200 Gold.
  • Larger Manipulation [7 - 9] Orchestrate a grand lie, betrayal, or deception that shifts regional control or power. This manipulation allows the user to force NPC to change their actions within reason, such as forcing one to sit out a Phase, not go to war, etc. Requires at least an 8 to attempt to manipulate a House Heir, major NPC House Lords, Warden of Regions and a 9 allows for the ability to manipulate the King/Queen or the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch ). Requires a Secret to be known or use of threats to prevent aggressive action or use of Tier I Schemes. Lasts for one Phase.
  • Frame Rival [8] Falsely implicate a noble in a crime or scandal, leading to exile, arrest, or war. Framing a rival, depending on what they’re being framed for, can cause a loss of Influence of anywhere from 150 to 300. Requires an 8 in Influence to use.
  • Secret Alliances [8] Forge a hidden pact with another faction to betray, invade, or divide a region. This alliance stays hidden and known only to the agreeing parties and the GM until revealed. Requires 8 in Intrigue to use. Can only have 1 Secret Alliance at any given time.
  • Fake Heir [9] Introduce a forged or manipulated claimant to disrupt succession and cause civil strife. Requires a 9 in Intrigue and can only be used in Campaigns involving the Crownlands.
  • Assassination [9 - 10] Arrange the covert killing of a ruler, commander, or heir with no ties traced to you. Requires at least a 9 to attempt to kill a House Heir, minor to major NPC House Lords, Warden of Regions and a 10 allows for the ability to assassinate the King/Queen, other RPers or the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch ). Executed within reason based on one’s Influence ( i.e. cannot attempt to kill King if Influence is too low to meet him face to face/without Kingsguard ). Costs 400 Gold.

The Durability Attribute
1. Durability represents a character’s toughness, stamina, and pain resistance. It governs how much physical punishment a character can take—both in direct combat and through exhaustion, fatigue, or wounds. A high Durability score reflects not just physical resilience, but a hardened constitution forged by battle, weather, starvation, or torture. Durability determines how much health one has as well as their higher resistance to poisons, fatigue and other effects. Higher Durability allows resistance to injuries, critical effects, and penalties. Resisting poison, cold, disease, or pain is easier with higher Durability.

The Agility Attribute
1. Agility measures a character’s pure movement ability - how quickly they can sprint, reposition, close distance, retreat, or pursue others across the battlefield or terrain. Unlike Dexterity, which governs reaction and precision, Agility is pure physical movement and pace. In War of the Realm, Agility defines turn order, world travel distance, and combat mobility - crucial for striking first, escaping danger, or launching surprise attacks. Characters with higher Agility act earlier during each combat phase.


Different Types of Movement

Make note of Movement for BNM/Fleets vs Bios.

Further Information
The Follow Formula ”X SPM – X SPM = X SPM Advantage helps measure the distance travelled between two targets. The SPM advantage is the difference of those two values. An example of the formula:

1 SPM – 1 SPM = 0 SPM Advantage
2 SPM – 1 SPM = 1 SPM Advantage
3 SPM – 1 SPM = 2 SPM Advantage​

It is important to note that if both Targets have the same Movement Speed, then the time it takes one Target to travel 1 Meter is the same for the Other Target. This is important to remember because the SPM Advantage gained from completing the formula determines the extra amount of meters a target can travel in the same time another target is traveling. Building on the previous example:

Ex1: Both Targets travel the same distance during the same time in Example One
Ex2: Both Target would travel One [1] Meter, but the Faster Target will travel an extra One [1] Meter due to the SPM Advantage.
Ex3: Both Targets would travel One [1] Meter, but the Faster Target will travel an extra Two [2] Meters due to the SPM Advantage.​

The Dexterity Attribute
1. Dexterity measures a character’s coordination, reflexes, precision, and battlefield awareness. It reflects how well a warrior can track, react to, and predict enemy movement, as well as strike with critical precision when opportunities arise. In War of the Realm, Dexterity is the stat that separates a brute from a master fighter - not through brute strength, but through timing, reading the field, and punishing mistakes. Unlike Strength and Durability, Dexterity can be used to dodge traps and evade ambushes if one has the right Feats, giving more than just one direct use. This also allows one to increase the odds of a critical attack. If your Dexterity equals or exceeds an enemy’s Speed, you can track and react to their movements without penalty (whether in a duel, skirmish, or battlefield chase).

One AttributeTwo AttributesThree Attributes
  • Tracking Ability Extends to 2 SPM

  • Can Accurately Shoot 50 Meters Away

  • Tracking Extend to 10 SPM
  • Can Accurately Shoot 55 Meters Away
  • Tracking Extend to 11 SPM
  • Can Accurately Shoot 60 Meters Away
  • 25% Chance of Critical Damage

Critical Damage occurs when a target is either hit with a head strike or lands a critical success roll. This deals 1.5x the damage it originally dealt, increasing 10 DMG to 15 DMG, for example.

The Crafting Attribute
Crafting is a Secondary Attribute used by player characters in War of the Realm to build, enhance, and repair the tools of power. From castle walls to siege weapons to elite gear, Crafting governs how efficiently you shape the world around you. It does not influence direct combat like Strength or Dexterity, but its impact on your army, defenses, and economy is enormous. Crafting is essential for military sustainability, battlefield upgrades, and advanced RP development. Crafting measures a character’s skill in creating, improving, and repairing weapons, armor, siege engines, and structures. It reflects not just basic blacksmithing ability, but fine engineering, forging mastery, siege design, and field repair knowledge. In War of the Realm, Crafting is the heart of upgrading equipment and enhancing fortifications. A skilled crafter can tilt the balance of wars by producing superior gear and maintaining the strength of Keeps and structures under siege.

Crafting enables one to create Structures and Equipment of varying tiers, each stronger than the previous with their own perks and requirements. Equipment exists in different tier, scaling from leather and bronze up to Valyrian Alloy and Valyrian Steel. Subequent Tiers gain additional perks as they scale upwards, dealing more damage or blocking more of it. Structures have 3 tiers: Tier I (Basic), Tier II (Improved), Tier III (Apex). Each structure is unlocked individually depending on your Crafting Attribute. Tier II upgrades unlock together at a set level. Tier III upgrades unlock together at a later level. Weapon and armor crafting (Tier I–V) remains staggered to preserve gameplay depth. These Tiers and information can be seen in more detail below the Attribute layout.

The Navigation Attribute
Navigation measures a character’s skill in traveling efficiently across land and sea, finding safe paths, avoiding natural dangers, and reading the world around them. It reflects survival instincts, knowledge of geography, understanding of sea currents, and an ability to minimize risk during journeys. In War of the Realm, Navigation controls how quickly you travel, whether you avoid dangerous beast encounters, and whether you gain access to superior traveling vessels for faster, safer movement across the map.

Navigation reduces the time needed to travel between landmarks or across seas. Skilled navigators can cross dangerous or difficult terrain much faster than average travelers. During land and sea travel, there is a chance of encountering dangerous beasts (wolves, krakens, wyverns, etc.). Higher Navigation reduces the chance of random beast encounters. At certain Navigation milestones (Levels 1, 4, and 8), players unlock access to faster, sturdier, or better-supplied ships. This reduces dangers at sea and allows for longer expeditions with fewer risks.

✖ RANDOM ENCOUNTERS

Whenever a player travels by land or sea, they may face random encounters with wild creatures, predators, or roaming monstrosities. These are separate from BNM mechanics and only apply to traveling on land or sea. When traveling through unclaimed landmarks or across the sea, members roll a 1D20 dice to determine if they will have safe travel. Should they fail their roll, the GM then determines the tier of the beast. Specific animals are found in very specific regions and landmarks.

Roll 1d20 when passing through untamed territory or dangerous sea zones
  • 1–10 = Beast Encounter
  • 11–20 = Safe passage

The Piety Attribute
Piety measures a character’s spiritual strength, devotion to the divine, and ability to channel the blessings or miracles of their chosen faith. It reflects a mix of personal belief, ritual mastery, and the favor of higher powers. In War of the Realm, Piety determines whether you can access religious abilities, how many abilities you can unlock, and how much Piety Energy (Piety Units) you have available to spend activating miracles, blessings, or divine powers. Every 1 point of Piety Attribute grants 2 Piety Units (a resource pool). Piety Units are spent to activate religious abilities tied to your chosen faith. Certain religious skills require a minimum Piety Attribute score to unlock. For example, some passive abilities might require 2 Piety, while major miracles might require 6+.

There are several religions in the War of the Realms, each with there own features and skill trees unique to their lore and usage. The Faith of the Seven, the Old Gods, R'hllor, Rhoynar and the Drowned Gods are the religions one can choose from when starting. There's a mix between passive and active skills that one can choose and use from in different set ups depending on the religion. Religions allow followers to conduct religious rites and even command Faith Units such as the Faith Militant or Children of the Forest. Not all religions offer Faith Units but

The Stewardship Attribute
Stewardship measures a character’s ability to effectively manage land, resources, construction projects, and political domains. It reflects administrative skill — the ability to govern keeps, holdfasts, and territories efficiently, ensuring they thrive even during war. In War of the Realm, Stewardship directly affects how many landmarks you can control, how quickly you can build or repair structures, and how effectively you maintain your holdings against the grind of time, war, and politics. Each player can oversee a number of Landmarks based on their Stewardship score. Higher Stewardship = More Landmarks under direct control without penalties. Stewardship reduces the time needed to build, upgrade, or repair structures. Skilled stewards can rebuild keeps, temples, and defenses much faster than those who govern poorly.
