Added DiffLines:
* MindRape: Many magical spells, items, and random magical effects cause the wearer, caster, or target to have aspects of their minds or personalities overwritten, usually in negative ways. For instance, armor with the suffix "of Cruelty" causes the wearer to gain sadistic urges, drinking from the Well of Wickedness causes a permanent 1d100 loss of Moral Points, and magical effects on a spellcaster include turning them [[TheNarcissist narcissistic]], making them obsessive-compulsive about washing, and causing them to permanently refuse to trim their nails.

Because of the game's content, we're neither providing trope examples nor linking to the rulebook, which can readily be found [[BileFascination if you really want to go looking]]. The game even has an official [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iy8hjxHuRHk theme song]].
to:
----
!!Provides examples of:
* AerithAndBob: The name list for humans is composed of standard European names, and the name lists for other races are comprised of fantastic names...except for Kobolds, which use common Indonesian names.
* {{Animorphism}}: Dwarves and elves have natural shapeshifting abilities, allowing them to transform into certain animals.
* {{Antidisestablishmentarianism}}: {{Invoked|Trope}} in a weird way. Character stats include a chart for intelligence as it applies to languages, including limits on the vocabulary a character is capable of. The highest vocabulary limit is exemplified with "Antidisestablishmentarianism".
* ApocalypseHow: Class 6: The titular spell Fatal takes a week to cast (or can be randomly activated by fumbling any spell) and "causes all life to die instantly on the current world of the caster."
* ArmorIsUseless: Armor's defense bonus is determined by die rolls. Low rolls can actually subtract from the character's defense, and magical armor comes with a 7% chance of that magical effect killing the character.
* ArtisticLicenseBiology: The rules and character creation process allow for ''many'' examples of completely out-of-whack character biology:
** Many bodily features are determined by die rolls, which can lead to outrageously oversized body parts and orifices with ''negative'' circumferences.
** It's possible to damage specific internal organs with attacks that have no business being so precise, as one review quotes:
--->"The two stared at each other, then struck simultaneously. Jack's sword cleaved through the cultist's chest, cleaving through the nipple, the xiphoid process -- the lowest part of the sternum -- and the shoulder blade. The cultist's blade only caused damage to Jack's appendix and his adrenal gland, somehow missing everything else in front of and in back of Jack's adrenal gland and appendix."
** Having your heart torn out kills you in two rounds, which is ''slower'' than [[GroinAttack having your testicles cut off]], which with a failed save will kill you instantly.
** A slash to the abdomen that misses all "critical" organs has a 70% chance of causing your small intestine to spill out. This isn't considered a particularly life-threatening wound.
** The cardiac notch is a small dent in the left lung wherein the heart rests. The author took this to mean that "the left lung is smaller than the right", and made it so a lung crit is twice as likely to hit the right lung as to hit the left.
** Childbirth never takes more than fourteen hours.
** The Urination stat, if high enough, allows the player to project their urine stream for impossible lengths. A character with 20 Urination, for instance, can send their urine 16 feet.
* ArtisticLicenseStatistics: Some events are "(1d100)% likely" to happen. To determine this, you roll two percentile dice[[note]]That's a 100-sided die, or more commonly two 10-sided dice with one representing the tens digit, for non-gamers[[/note]], and if the second one is equal to or greater than the first, you succeed. That means that everything has a flat 50.5% chance of happening. And yes, you're supposed to do this for '''anything''' that doesn't have a specific rule for it.
* CargoShip: These can happen [[GoodBadBugs accidentally]] as a consequence of the rules for magic. When a magical item is used to cast a spell, the item is considered the "caster" for game-mechanical purposes. Thus, a [[CriticalFailure miscast spell result]] can lead to your weapon and a creature or inanimate object thoroughly enjoying each other's company for a round or few.
* [[invoked]]CharacterAlignment: Two axes, "ethical" and "moral", which are exactly the same as ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons''[='=] "lawful/chaotic" and "good/evil" respectively, just with different names. The "ethical" characteristics are described as being taken from Democritus of Abdera, Plato, and Aristotle, while the "moral" characteristics are said to be taken from Aristotle’s ''Nicomachean Ethics''.
* ClaimedByTheSupernatural: This is one possible result of a MagicMisfire, in which the character is branded all over their body with the mark of a (completely randomly-chosen) god.
* ClassAndLevelSystem: The Professions system, essentially. There's well over 100 professions with possibilities for multi-classing, but the multi-class system is broken. Each level taken doubles the experience point cost of the next level, but only for that one class. At level ten, you can level up a new class to level 5 in less time it takes you to level up your current class to level 11.
* DisabilitySuperpower:
** A particular strength bonus can be gained with low intelligence.
** The player may re-roll low ability scores, thus making them more capable, at the cost of acquiring deformities and mental issues.
* {{Doorstopper}}: The official rulebook is 900+ pages long.
* EmptyLevels: The only benefit to advancing in most professions is additional skill points to spend on class skills, which means (due to the fact that experience required for each successive level doubles every level), one is best off advancing in several closely-related classes, rather than focusing on one and trying to max it out.
* ExperiencePoints:
** You gain very small amounts of experience for jobs associated with that profession. They're all mostly mundane activities, so gaining experience can be very tedious. For instance, Warriors gain 10-20 EXP per swing of their sword, while basket-weavers gain maybe 1 EXP per basket.
** XP is also counted per class, meaning that if you have three classes that gain damage XP, you can be getting 60 XP per swing.
* {{Fartillery}}: Anakim Trait for a roll of 72:
-->The anakim may fart as loud as thunder. All creatures within a 10-feet radius of this anakim, except the anakim, automatically take 1d4 sonic damage and are stunned for 1 round, which can be avoided by passing a Drive check at TH 17. This can be utilized only once per week.
* GameFavoredGender: This is part of the bucketloads of UnfortunateImplications present in the game. There is basically no reason to play as a woman (unless you do as the game suggests and [[HonestRollsCharacter roll for your gender]])--women have worse stats, cannot access several classes, are discriminated against socially, and multiple spells (including MindRape ones) are explicitly meant to work on women.
* GameMaster: Referred to as the Aedile[[note]]a Roman office whose responsibilities included overseeing public games[[/note]], although in the original version the title was Maim Master.
* {{Glamour}}: Dark elves are repulsively ugly and rely on illusion spells to seduce other races.
* GrotesqueGallery: One of the playable races, the "Anakim", are the children of demons and mortal women. As a result they have a chance of gaining random negative attributes like BlackEyesOfEvil, becoming a WalkingWasteland, or smelling of rotten meat.
* HollywoodTourettes: While the rules do note physical tics, the verbal tic is always to blurt obscenities, and the more likely it is to cause a social faux pas, the more likely the sufferer is to voice them.
* HonestRollsCharacter: Stats have to be determined this way. Additionally, the rulebook suggests that everything except gender (ie. race, class, etc) be determined this way, but gives the Aedile the freedom to decide whether or not to enforce this rule. The honest-rolls method does result in possible oddities such as a character being at opposite ends of the spectrum in two stats that you would think would be related. Stats may be rerolled, at the cost of acquiring a random physical or mental disability.
* ImplausibleFencingPowers: It's possible to get a critical hit on specific internal organs without damaging the surrounding anatomy, or to [[SubsystemDamage critical-hit someone's navel, eyelid, or clitoris]]...with a ''maul''.
* IndecisiveParody: The comments of the game's creators are ambiguous as to whether it's supposed to be a work of "historically and mythologically accurate scholarship" or "controversial humour".
* InsistentTerminology: Loads. Among others:
** The constant euphemisms/dysphemisms for reproductive organs, most of which are very vulgar.
** They insist that the GM be referred to as the Aedile, or the MM (Maim Master).
** That isn't the character sheet, it's the character sheets...all 11 pages of them.
* JesusTaboo: The alleged setting is "like medieval Europe[[note]]"Neveria", the official setting, is described in a supplemental PDF[[/note]], only with no Christianity" ...which is the cultural equivalent of "the Atlantic Ocean, only without water".
* LamarckWasRight: The stats of a child are determined by applying a percentage modification to the average of their parents' stats.
* LethalKlutz: Rolling a CriticalFailure while attempting Slapstick can result in damage to bystanders.
* LoadsAndLoadsOfRules: Along with the 900+ page rulebook, a character "sheet" consists of 11 (single-sided) sheets of paper.
* LuckBasedMission: Spellcasters. There's a nontrivial chance they'll kill or grievously wound themselves or a party member with every spell they cast, or even lead to the Fatal spell being cast, and skill has nothing to do with it.
* MagicMisfire: Every spell cast has the potential to go awry, with a pool of ''2000'' possible resulting effects rolled by the Aedile.
* NoImmortalInertia: Armor of Agelessness slows the wearer's aging by a factor of 10, but if it's removed, the character will immediately change to what their actual age should be.
* NoWomansLand: The setting and rules are horribly misogynistic, to the point that a woman who doesn't keep up with housework well enough can be punished more harshly than male characters who commit actual, monstrous crimes.
* NonCombatEXP: Each class has a specific action that grants it EXP. All classes have the same EXP requirement to reach new levels, but the actual EXP gained varies tremendously by class: an accountant gains EXP for each month they work, but must work for 80 years to gain a level.
* OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame: Surprisingly, averted. White Dwarves are pretty much the same, but Black Dwarves have a strong influence of TheFairFolk in them and Brown Dwarves resemble the tamer, post-Fair Folk fairy tales.
* ParodyRetcon: Inverted. The second revision of the rules cleaned up some of the "controversial humor" (such as removing some of the magical enchantments based on racist caricatures) and making some of the terminology less juvenile (the Maim Master being renamed the "Aedile" for example). The revision of the original acronym was part of this change. The conversion was imperfect, to say the least.
* TotalPartyKill: {{Exaggerated|Trope}}. One of the many, many magical fumbles results in killing off the entire ''planet'' via casting Fatal.
* UnexpectedGameplayChange: There is a section on warfare in an otherwise character-focused game. Yes, warfare, as in army-on-army, not individual combat.
* ViewersAreMorons: The book contains paragraphs describing to the reader what things like salt and cheese are.
* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic?: While Christianity itself is absent from the game, there are many spells such as "Walk on Water", "waves be still", and "multiplication of loaves and fish".
* YouHaveResearchedBreathing: There are skills for Sitting, Spitting and ''Tasting''.
* YouKeepUsingThatWord: One of the traits an anakim can have is Cannibalism. The authors apparently confused this with carnivorousness, since the description says eating any vegetables at all makes it sick. The authors later defended this with the argument that a being that was exclusively cannibalistic would also be a carnivore.
