Drakeith Language (W.I.P) (Rough Draft)

 Shadow Tongue

Rules

1 - pronouncing capitals is treated different than the normal word and or vowel, so w is treated as a different letter than W.

2 - pausing, shortening or stretching a word changes the word; see is different than seee in the Shadow Tongue.

3 - When adding a letter to the end of the pronounced word changes it.

4 - verbs are used before and after a word in a sentence, "I threw the ball" is treated as valid as, "ball I threw" but double verb is treated different, "punch punch" is treated different than, "punch"

5 - honored words; these words were made after great warriors, Drakeith's and non-drakeith's that kings had the honor to fight, if your opponent came in with a unique weapon that wasn't seen at the time, if the king won he'd name the item after you in their tongue, and so honored words that don't fit the rules of the language entirely.

However expectations are made such as engineers and scientist as well but not dead by combat in this case.

6 - phrase words; words that cannot be properly translated due to large differences; often are caused by phrased words because of developmental differences; that being said phrase words have a role to play in that.

7 - d is used for plurals

8 - double vowels; when two vowels are next to each other they create a new vowel; an example, "oo" isn't, "oo" in english but "oh-oh"

All double vowels; "uu" = ux-ux, "yy" = yu-yu, "ee" = eh-eh, "oo" = oz-oz"

Action nouns exist; they're treated different from actions and verbs. Thrown ball is instead, "thrownball" which can be treated as, "someone threw the ball", "they threw a ball", etc.

Movement rules (rough draft)

 Movement isn't that complex; movement speed is different from speed, imagine speed is your reflexes while movement speed is your overall distance you move in a short distance. Each movement action you take cost MoP (movement points), and outside of that will cost your PP next. Movement speed is your overall speed system. Land movement speed; your movement on land. Swimming movement speed; your movement speed in the water. Climbing movement speed; your movement speed climbing. Jump movement speed; your launch off and into the air. When dealing with a complex or moving environment you have to perform a roll + agility modifier. An example being jumping off a falling rock or rocks. When crits on complex movement you gain an additional movement bonus doubling the distance you can go. A high agility modifier allows you to slip through crowds in streets as well, blending in said environment. Falling; when falling every 10 ft you gain a D6 of damage from a fall; you have to roll an agilit...
