Just pasting here the bits that are relevant to my entry, so I don’t need to keep going back to the DW site.
Norms:
Your mission, again, armed with a powerful magical weapon, is to protect the cities, lead an assault to other worlds and destroy the mysterious force that is keeping the dimensions destabilized.
Dominance War IV Race: Norms
Norms are sentient beings of various races who have been in the galaxy for thousands of years. They all possess heartbeats and they all reside in a single natural dimension that is the Dominance War universe. Races classified as Norms include: Alien, mutant, elf, human, fish, pixy, giant, dwarf, tiger, dragon etc. Only norms are able to use magic. They can use it via an extremely powerful magical weapon or they can create and manipulate it themselves with invoker and clericon spell powers.
Norm Class:
Clericon
This character type uses magic to heal, strengthen, weaken, banish or bind foes or allies.
Powerful Magical Weapon:
Powerful magical weapons are needed to aid you in your battle against all opposing forces. Your character “MUST” have a single powerful magical weapon. Weapon examples include: sword, dagger, Necklace, amulet, chopsticks, funny item, coin, closed box, slippers, belt, helmet, armor, spoon, teeth, book, eyeballs, etc. You can only have a single extremely powerful magical weapon but you are also allowed to equip your hero with additional magical gear for protection.
All images must include text that indicates your character’s race, class, your contact details, Dominance War IV logo and your team logo.
