I like that. You have to expand your experience level to unlock the more advanced spiritual hallows and gallows. Brilliant!

3 Attributes
Body, Mind, Soul (Effectively STR/CON, DEX/INT, WIS/CHA)
10 Ten Levels Of Power (Magically raising anything above 9 give bonuses but don't grant new levels of power. Any attributes at 0 = dead/respawn whatever) each "power level"1-9 has its matching "mystical syllable" granting X total combinations of "Mantras/Signs" or some dumb shit. Every PC plays spin the pad lock and every "word" grants an inherent bonus. But every character made has each syllable assigned a random spot in the pie. So you get a random "horoscope" generated for your character at birth.

It's 27 unique "syllables" right? Wasn't there some kinda factorial rules in math class that means it's easily more than enough possible Combinations for PCs too lottery 3/4 of their levels looking for combos on skills they like until they have their last and hardest levels to land on a final word for their favorite bonus and/or build

1's should have insane bonuses lol 9s should only reward trade skills

...

The total number of 3-syllable words that can be formed using the 27 unique syllables without any repetition is 17,576.

So maybe instead finding a word could be as rare as a shiny Pokemon instead?

I'm 100% confused.

Lol thinking out loud about ability scores and leveling mechanics in games

Let's be real, I will likely never accomplish anything ever if I can help it. But AI wrote this up. If I can score any points it could be entertaining one offs of lore and speculation. This AI functions pretty useful as like a note taking app

Could you provide a brief background of the Dwarves of Aerthula based on what I've said so far?

...

Certainly! From what you've mentioned so far, it seems that there are three factions of dwarves in Aerthula:

1. The Urrt dwarves live underground beneath the frozen mountains of the north, and are the most traditional interpretation of fantasy dwarves. They have a rich history but their civilization suffered a downfall due to their own greed.

2. The Hjilld dwarves are offspring of the Urrt, but they live on the surface in the frozen north above the same mountains. They draw inspiration from both native American and Scandinavian cultures, and maintain a superstition about the Urrt Gates due to a curse.

3. The Fylgja dwarves were once Urrt, but those that reached the surface fell in love with it and were cursed with a siren's call to follow it. They travel the world in caravans, providing mail and item transfer services as well as fast travel routes.

Can you stylize it as a brief mythology?

Long ago, the Dwarves of Aerthula were a mighty civilization, delving deep into the earth and mountains to extract precious gems and metals. But their greed led to their downfall, and they were cursed by their own misdeeds.

Some fled to the surface, horrified by the fate of their kin, and became the Hjilld Dwarves. They shun the mountains and the Urrt Gates, for they fear the curse that still lingers there.

Others, the Urrt Dwarves, remain in the deep caverns and tunnels beneath the mountains, living a traditional dwarven life. But their history is tainted by the sins of their ancestors, and they struggle to reclaim the heights their civilization once reached.

And then there are the Fylgja, the cursed ones who cannot resist the siren call of the sky. They travel the world in caravans, offering item transfer services and fast travel routes to those in need.

The dwarves of Aerthula are a proud and resilient people, but they are haunted by the mistakes of their past. Yet, they continue to persevere and seek redemption, hoping to one day undo the curse that plagues their kind.

see? boom scrolling text. basically star wars

AI copilot is a big buff, i always wanted to write a homebrew campaign setting but never got past a tavern and basic bitch town basically. through curating the random generated text Bing has spit out the document is over 40 pages long now

and this shit is only going to get better and easier to translate an idea in your head into an actual project.
