add a archer/ranged class FA that has tiers to make you better at using a ranged weapon, it will give the peasants a incentive to train their aim rather than be master archers from birth.

heck you could even add a few melee FA's as well to specialise in certain weapons and fighting styles (although there should probably be a limit for how many of these feats can be taken)

By Yemekar's creation
through the paragons

the pacts are made
the pacts are done

Ancestors of old
negotiate with the elements on our behalf

the Earth we walk
the Water for our cauldrons
the Fire for our furnaces
the Metal we forge
the Storms we endure
the Air we breathe

Receive our praise
champions in life
legends in death

A balance disturbed
a wrong to be made right
unravel the mystery of the elements
so that we may be spared of the eternal night

Letters began piling up in a mailbox that no longer had a owner, stories and adventures that would never be looked at as dust and age claimed the paper.

Obok Metaldrinks got busy searching for evidence of co conspirators and to comply with the order to seize the relic and crystal key in the Irongut clan hall as well as Lurdoics home, leaving no pebble unturned.

Blasted 'ells Lurdoic, yer demise only complicate t'ings...

Obok Metaldrinks couldn't help but smile a bit as he saw his personal commendation.
 

Obok Metaldrinks watched the smiths repair his tattered and dented armour from the siege, still pondering about the lesser presences he had felt within the pillars of the fort and how they were connected to the Harrower.

how do you feel about adding cold and fire into the amendment too? could be something along the lines of the lifeblood freezing or that it boils.

i do believe this will help clean up some weird situations where if you don't have a bludgeoning weapon you just have to sit and wait for the darn thing to bleed out, it gets awkward. 

Grelu? thats a weird way to spell Alaric!

Obok Metaldrinks read the morning newspaper over a cup of coffee (its beer) and frowned before saying "i cannae believe i made t'at sour bean my letter buddy..."

Obok Metaldrinks sat in his living room, still processing the death of his teacher as he stared into the flames of his fireplace.
A heavy silence hung in the air, only broken by the crackling of burning logs and a slight rumbling from the earth, the silhouettes within cast shadows into the dimly lit room.

I really do like the concepts your going for, and I'd like to see this post be accepted.

However, I think it's rather safe to say that a lot of these runes are just VERY strong excluding maybe the rune of pushing (with just a slight tweak for it to only work if it's carved onto ammunition, NOT cannons)

So, here's my take on each one to nerf/tweak each rune and I think better the odds of this getting added.

 

- Rune of Pushing

  Reveal hidden contents

Should only works on ammunition instead of larger implements too (Arcane Foci, Armaments, Trebuchets, Cannons, etc).

Reasoning is that arcane foci are already powerful enough. could you imagine this being paired with a focused brisk step lmfao? Good luck trying to get into melee. It'd also better the usage of ranged weapons, as since you can only make oh so many runes per day, it'd limit how many 'sniper rounds' you'd have- making for more interesting encounters instead of just "Guh, me shoots farther".

-imagine using it on a pike... double the reach!
- Rune of Power

  Reveal hidden contents

Honestly? not too many complaints on this one. Just give it a limit to being at max uruk/olog strength, because lord knows some lads are going to arm a brutus golem with a high density boomsteel hammer then etch this on the side.
Overall doubling strength when unsure is pretty iffy though, and could be problematic- wonder if this redline is even required thanks to the 'upped by 1 level' line. An earth spike hit you in the stomach, empowered by this rune? shove it in a little deeper than usual, is all that's needed.

-its only on ranged weapons

- Rune of Growth & Continuity

  Reveal hidden contents

No quadrupling please god, have mercy.
Beyond that quite okay-ish, so long as the spells/potions at play have a direct counter or aren't too severe- it'll be quite problematic/unfun to go against if they do not.

-isnt the hard cap shout range anyways?

- Rune of Clarity

  Reveal hidden contents

Perhaps just specify that using more than 1 rune of this during a crp session is impossible. Could definitely see folk having one inscribed on each and every single enchant they bring. Other than that, sort of balanced? Though it would effectively guarantee casters using at least 1 spell when in a 1v1 before the other guy can do anything about it. Pretty unsure of this one.

 

- Rune of Strength

  Reveal hidden contents

Honestly just better bolstered strength.
Again, apply strength limitations like Rune of Power- perhaps make plate armor on that limb 'clog' the runes at play & disable them just to make sure folk don't go full robocop.

-arent prosthetics usually normal descendant strength? like an ork with a prosthetic is actually weaker since it doesnt carry the double strength?
- Runecasts in general

How can these tell friend and foe apart, is my main question.
If they couldn't, it'd make holding positions that apply buffs far more important and more interesting story-wise rather than just 'trap setting'.
I think it'd be significantly better if it shifted with a cap on how far/low affected attributes can go, similar to 'Rune of Power'- Rigidity and Fragility increasing/decreasing the strength of materials/people inside by 1 tier.
Other than that, quite nice.
Though one could argue that the simple counter to these things is just... stepping off them, or forcing others off of the rune circle.

Overall I do think I am relatively new when it comes to lore writing, do take this with a grain of salt- just my take on it all.
Heres to hoping that this gets accepted!

Grumbles intensively at the prospect of having to reskin for this MA

Obok Metaldrinks read through the missive but gripped it in both hands and looked closer with furrowed brows as he read the titles :'oly crap! just 'ow many parents do yer 'ave?!: he exclaimed in shock

Obok Metaldrinks was confused at first, but then realised they were talking about the romans and not the elfs.
