+Make sure these fields are not empty. If you're not sure, set them to 7, 9 for 2d6 or 10,15 for 3d10 and 3d20 rolling.
+When you attempt something risky or opposed, roll 2d6 and + total the results, adding one of your Attribute scores based on + the action you’re taking. The GM will tell you some of the + possible risks before you roll, so you can decide if it’s worth the + chance or if you want to revise your action.
+ +If you have an applicable Skill, you can’t Fail. A roll of 6 or less + counts as a Fumble, which barely succeeds, and with a bigger + compromise or complication than a Problem.
+ +When you inflict damage, roll the dice listed for your weapon, + and add any applicable bonuses to the result. If you are unarmed, + you roll 1d6-2 damage.
+ +When you suffer damage, reduce it by your armor score, and + subtract the remainder from your current Health. When your + Health drops to zero or below, roll+CON:
+ +When you rest and consume a ration/waterskin, roll your Stamina + dice and keep results equal to your Level to determine your current + Health. If you are attended by someone trained in the healing arts, + you roll an extra Stamina die. If you rest for a day where it is safe + and comfortable, you roll an extra Stamina die.
+ +Sometimes the GM will roll the Die of Fate to randomly + determine the result of events beyond the characters’ control. + Odd numbers are ill fortune, even numbers are good fortune + (or, at least, nothing terrible). The Die of Fate might be rolled + to establish the weather, indicate a random NPCs attitude, or + to determine if a wandering monster appears. The GM may also + roll the Die of Fate if the PCs take some action for which sheer + chance is the only factor in the outcome.
+ + +When your roll results in either a Failure, Fumble, or Problem, + you suffer the consequences of your actions. The severity + will depend largely on the fiction – what you were trying to + accomplish, what was opposing you, and what was happening + nearby. What follows are some general examples of appropriate + consequences.
+ +Magic is a dangerous element, one not to be trifled with by the + uninitiated. + +
Alchemy works similarly to spells, except that the magic is + contained within a physical form, typically a potion or an object. + Creating an alchemical object can be quite risky because of the + various chemicals and explosive fumes involved, but using one is + not inherently dangerous, and usually does not require a roll. +
+It costs 100C in caustic chemicals, herbs, and purified minerals, + and requires a day to prepare. If you have an Alchemists Kit, + then it only costs 25C and takes four hours. +
Alchemists start with three magical formulas, and may learn + more through research or experimentation. These formulas are + built much like spells, picking one option from each of the + following. +
The Preparation is... (pick one)
+The user will... (pick one)
+The user can apply this balm three times, and will be able to + breathe underwater for ten minutes. +
+The user drinks this foul potion once, and will able to breathe + fire at an enemy, doing 2d6 damage.
+ +Once the user drinks a vial of quicksilver, these bracers provide + +1d6 damage to his melee attacks for one minute.
+ + +Spells are the most reliable way to harness the powers of Chaos + – specific rituals and formulas that bind and form magical + energies into very specific, distinct effects. Sorcery essentially + allows you to perform actions that would otherwise be mundane + if you had the correct training, tools or sufficient time, but + instead you do it through arcane means. +
Sorcerers start with three spells, and may learn more through + their studies or adventures. Casting a spell is not always + risky, but it depends on the situation and how long it takes + for the effect to manifest. Each should have an appropriately + arcane-sounding name, and choose one option from each of the + following: + +
By drinking a dose of quicksilver, the Sorcerer can extend the + duration of his spells by one rank (instant duration becomes + concentration, concentration becomes an hour, etc.), or quickens + the time it takes to cast by one rank. + +
Slowly cast, the caster holds out his hand as if he had a lamp, + illuminating the area.
+ +After a ritual, the caster gains the use of the Scout ability for one hour per 2 Health he has sacrificed.
+ +With a quick touch of his hand, the caster inflicts 1d6 damage upon an + enemy, as if he carried a sword.
+ +Slowly cast, the caster can speak to people from afar with only the power + of his mind.
+ +Calling forth and binding a demon is often a quick route for + Arcanists to gain great power. The act of summoning can be + dangerous, depending on the circumstance, and requires that you + know the name of the demon you wish to conjure, and one of + the following:
+Once summoned, you can converse with it and ask it questions, + for demons possess many secrets unknown to mortals. You can + also attempt to bind it. Binding is always risky, as the demon + will try to take every advantage of unwary mortals, It requires a + circle to be drawn in gold powder during an hour-long ritual, as + well as one of the following:
+ +When the demon is Bound, it can be summoned once a day to + perform a single deed, typically answering questions or using + baleful magic (as controlled by the GM) without any risk to the + Summoner. Anything beyond that will require some very tricky + negotiations, as the demon will do anything to twist your requests + to its own evil desires. Summoners start with two bound demons. +
+ + +Being able to directly harness the energies of magic makes a + Wizard particularly powerful...but it comes with great risks. + unlike Sorcery, channelling pure magic is limited only by the + Wizard’s own ability to endure the power being gathered into + his body.
+ +Wizards have a Power score equal to their base Stamina +WIS. + For example, a 1st Level Wizard with +2 WIS would start with + 3 Power. When you direct magical energies into a coherent + effect, you will spend Power to create the effect. + +
+ As a default, your magic will be slow (manifests the turn after it + is cast), affects a single target within line of sight, and lasts for + one minute. By adjusting these limitations, you can increase or + decrease your available Power. +
+ +Each point of Power you end up spending can create one of the + following effects:
+ +You don’t want to spend all of your Power on effects, however, + since it also determines how many dice you get to roll+INT + when casting! If you are fortunate enough to roll more than 2d6, + keep only the two highest results. +
+ The success of wizardly magic is also different from normal, + because of the terrible energies the caster is toying with: +
+ +The Warp is the manifestation of pure, unbridled Chaos. The + more one plays with forces beyond their imagining, the more + vulnerable they become to being corrupted by the demonic + energies flowing through their bodies. +
+ The most common ways of being exposed to the Warp are: +
