Virtue and Karma Mechanics

Throughout the continent are eight shrines of virtue and then of course the main temple of virtue in Svetland. Upon arriving at Svetland they can swear themselves as knights of virtue. Each of eight virtues have their own order of knights which uphold the core responsibilities of the virtue, and as they advance in rank, they gain access to unique powers and abilities as well as equipment.

These are the virtues of good that have an order, and their associated abilities: Justice, Spirituality, Valor, Humility, Compassion, Honesty, Honor and Sacrifice.

Each virtue has a total of ten separate ranks. Ranks are gained gaining Karma by defeating specific enemies, and conquering the shrines of the vices.

Vice Aligned Enemies are worth 1 Karma (doubled in vice dungeons)

Vice Aligned Bosses are worth 5 Karma (doubled in vice dungeons)

Vice Aligned Leaders are worth 15 Karma

Conquering a Vice Dungeon is worth 25 Karma

Completing Virtuous Quests is worth 5 Karma

Ability and Skill bonuses granted by ranks of virtue count as a Virtue bonus. These gains are cumulative as detail on Table: Virtue Ranks
