19 SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
This section covers very important considerations about the world of Udava. Mostly it covers considerations about role-playing and answers questions that may arise about certain aspects of magic use.
19.1 TIME TRAVEL
Time Travel has become one of the most exploited subjects. No other subject has elicited as much postulation in all fields of writing: science-fiction, romance, drama, suspense, and even theoretical physics. In this section, I cover how I handle time travel on Udava.
19.1.1 Into the Past
Travelling into the past is handled rather simply. Anyone achieving the power to telephase him/herself/themselves into the past simply cease to exist in his/her/their current timeline and slips into another adjacent, yet completely separate, timeline. Differences between the timelines can be virtually nil to extremely drastic. To determine the differences between the two timelines, use the below equation:
Roll - 200 - Mod; where Roll = unmodified open-ended d100 roll, and Mod = -1 per 5 days travelled into the past. NOTE: Travelling one year into the past on Udava would mean a Mod of -65.
The greater the negative number, the greater and more drastic the differences. Basically, time travel into the past is usually NOT DONE! Also see Planar Theory.
19.1.2 Into the Future
Travelling into the future is handled in the same manner as travelling into the past. However, there is only a 50% chance that the traveller(s) slip into a separate timeline. The chances of differences are more drastic than travelling into the past. Reasoning: The future has yet to happen and possesses many possibilities. To determine the differences between the two timelines, use the below equation:
Roll - 500 - Mod; where Roll = unmodified open-ended d100 roll, and Mod = -1 per day travelled into the future. NOTE: Travelling one year into the future on Udava would mean a Mod of -324.
The greater the negative number, the greater and more drastic the differences. Basically, time travel into the future, also, is usually NOT DONE! Also see Planar Theory.
Others forthcoming as they are thought of by me or others.
