Other information

Dispelling Crystal
Bandits can throw crystals at you that will dispel several spells if they hit. They often do this as an opening attack from hiding or when they are having trouble hitting you with their regular attacks. This is a SMRv2 roll.
Suddenly, a tiny shard of jet black crystal flies from the shadows toward you! The crystal shatters against your body and releases a pulse of anti-magic! You feel a slight tingling as the shimmering field fades away. The silvery luminescence fades from around you. You feel your extra strength departing. Your heightened attunement to the flows of mana begins to fade.
Traps
Bandits may lay traps to catch their victims. The traps are activated when the hunter enters the room. There is a chance for the hunter to avoid the trap.
The following formula is used to check if a trap will be avoided:
(Survival Ranks + Perception Ranks) × 10 / (Player Level + 1) + 30 + d100 > 100
