Character Logs

An important aspect to getting your character ready for play within Rule of Fear is ensuring your character sheet is ready for you to record the information you'll need to keep track of your character's advancement. Rule of Fear requires players to take detailed notes on all experience and wealth they gain from a session, as well as wealth they spend. These all need to be logged to ensure that a player's experience and gold is in line with the rest of the community. Therefore, two logs shall be detailed here:

Experience Log

In the experience log it's important to denote any time EXP is awarded to your character. As explained in the Experience and Loot page experience will most commonly be awarded for things like encounters, or dealing with traps or other hazards, but may additionally be awarded by a GM for other reasons, as listed.

The experience log should be added to your character sheet under the Notes section. Add a note named "Experience Log".

The encounters you are in or other sources of experience you earn will be associated with SRs (Session Records), which will have a unique numerical identifier. Clearly denote in your experience log the amount of EXP received from each SR like the following example:

 -  - - 

Example: 800 xp - SR:0001 - 7/10/20 - Player

Transaction Log

All transactions your character performs should be tracked. Sheets are routinely audited and the GMs will take note if you're found to be in violation. As stated in the rules: when in doubt, write it down.

The Transaction Log should be created in the same way as the Experience Log on your character sheet.

The concept behind this log is much simpler. When making a transaction, write it down.

Example:

Purchased: Belt of Giant's Strength + 2 - 4000 GP

Purchased: Healer's Kit - 50 GP

Loot Share: + 100 GP

Sold: Chain Shirt - 50 GP

All transaction amounts should be reflected in the gold total on your character sheet after being logged.
