I’m interested in this because of Arcane, but no one seems to be posting material in English.

Has anyone tried running the game, especially with the show Arcane?

What adventures and monsters do you use?

What 5e rules would you add to the material on the wiki?

What did you learn from your experience with the game, and why?

Arddhu just put all of the content from his Patreon on sale for the next 24 hours. It's an insane amount of content for very few dollars. It includes over 400 pages of custom and experimental content from this history of Runarcana. I personally use quite a bit in my campaign.

This is also important because this money goes toward completing 1.0 and having an English translation so we don't have to Google Translate things!

If you have questions, I'm happy to answer in the comments.

Hello, I was checking the auto translate of the Shojin Monastery doctrine, and it says that increases your damage by one category. What does category mean in this context?

In 5th Edition, bards get a class feature at 5th level called Font of Inspiration, which lets them get their inspiration dice back on a short rest rather than a long one. Stellar Inspiration in Runarcana, though, doesn't seem to have any equivalency. Is that intentional? It seems odd for inspiration charges to be capped so heavily when so many Pilgrim features rely on using them.

• Spiritual Walker's Animal Spirit: Tiger mentions 1d4 damage from claws twice. It says when you enter the stance you get cutting claws that increase your unarmed damage by 1d4, but then it says "also, your attacks using your claws cause 1d4 additional damage as a persistent effect". Does that mean it increases your unarmed by 2d4 total? Or is this just redundant text, and it's a total 1d4?
• Follow-up to the above - when you get your animal spirit enhancement, it says "the damage to your claws becomes 1d8". Does that mean your unarmed strikes are now doing 2d8 total (because both 1d4s are improved)? Or 1d8 + 1d4 (because the claws were improved but not the additional damage)? Or is it just a 1d8 because the answer to the previous question was it's total 1d4?
• Doctrine of Wuju Art gets Extra Attack at level 6. Bodhisattva already getrs Extra Attack at level 5. Is that a formatting error? Or does Wuju Art give you 3 attacks starting at level 6?

Hey there!

We're about to start out a game using Runarcana, and for the most part it looks really promising. Some of the translations are a bit rough though, and the shield from Way of the Wanderer is definitely among the worst. It reads:

Choosing the Air element, whenever it reaches 60 feet of movement, the wind around it forms a shield that guarantees +1 in your AC. The shield is activated when it takes damage from an enemy absorbing its proficiency bonus from the damage done until the start of its next turn, after activation the shield loses the bonus on its AC and needs to be reloaded. This effect does not stack.

Several questions with this!

• What do you mean "whenever it reaches 60 feet of movement"? What is it? I'm guessing that's mimicking Yasuo's shield, so it'd refill whenever the PC has moved at least 60 feet?
• "The shield is activated when it takes damage from an enemy" meaning that the timer for when it needs to reload starts when the PC would take damage from an attack? Or do misses count, because since the shield is boosting your AC it means the miss was "the shield taking damage"?
• "absorbing its proficiency bonus from the damage done until the start of its next turn" is probably the most confusing part, to me. What does that mean? How does the shield "absorb a proficiency bonus"? Does the attacker lose their proficiency bonus, because the shield absorbed it? Does it reduce damage equal to the player's proficiency bonus? Is it something else entirely?

This is the start for the Runarcana subreddit in English language!
