Maturity Units (MU)

Back to How to Play the Game
Maturity Units are points that are give to Lightraiders when they accomplish specific tasks. They represent spiritual growth.
=== Gaining Maturity Units (MU) ===
Maturity Units (MU) can raise a Lightraider's Sword of the Spirit (SS) rating. 
Maturity Units (MU) can also raise a Lightraider's Character Strengths.
They are gained in the following ways:
* Performing good works in accordance to the Sacred Scrolls.
** Rescuing Dragon Slaves or Lightraiders from sin or danger.
** Helping people at the expense of the Lightraider's lives.
* Reciting Word Runes from memory.
* Completing DragonRaids.
** Each DragonRaid will reward a specific number of Maturity Units (MU) upon completion.
=== Losing Maturity Units ===
Characters can lose Maturity Units in the following ways:
* Getting entangled in a Dark Creature's Sin Enchantment.
* Believing a Dragon's Mind Speech.
** A Lightraider's Shield of Faith (SF) rating may stop spiritual damage (loss of Maturity Units).
* Disobeying the Overlord.
Loss of Maturity are treated differently for 2 separate situations.
# When Lightraider loses Maturity Units (MU) on a Character Strength they have no Maturity Units (MU) for.
## The Player should turn over to the back of their Character Sheet and make a note that they are "in debt" 1 MU for that Character Strength.
## New Players are given a grace allowance of 3 Maturity Units (MU) before they have to reconfigure their Character Abilities due to the reduction of the Character Strength that was involved.
## The Player must keep track of the MU's they are "in debt" towards and "pay them off."
# When a Lightraider loses Maturity Units (MU) any other time.
## In this case, the Player must subtract the lost unity from those accumulated for the targeted Character Strength.
## If there are no accumulated Maturity Units (MU), the Player is forced to reduce their Character Strength by 1 and write down 19 Maturity Units (MU) on the back of the Character Sheet.
## Then they will probably have to reconfigure some of their Character Abilities.
