Henchmen

Characters can take Henchmen as additional PCs for the character's player.

• Chance to get Henchman is based on the PC's race, career and # of henchmen. It is possible to have greater than a 100% chance of gaining a henchman. In that case more than one henchmen can be gained at once.

Race	Base % per Level	Race	Base % per Level	Career	Additional % per level	# of henchmen	Bonus
Amazon	3	Half Orc	4	Archer	+2	0	+3%/level
Araq	2	Hobbit	2	Berserker	+2	1	-
Ardua	2	Human	4	Channeler	+3	2+	-10*(N-1)%

Elf	2			Mage	+1
Jaka	3			Officer	+5
Gnome	3			Rogue	+3
Half Elf	2			Swashbuckler	+2
Half Giant	2			Warrior	+2

• Determine Race: roll once on the race table in the character creation section. The race of the new henchman must be both allowable and available. If the race rolled isn't allowable and available the PC may select a race on the henchmen trade-in table or their own race, as long as the new race is available and allowable. If no a&a race can be found, PC gets a Rain-check (+1 henchmen next level).

• Determine Stats:. Roll stats as normal, but treat the stat total as 10 higher than it really is for the purposes of stat adjustment.
• Everything Else: Henchman are written up like Player Characters with the following differences:
• Henchmen have one less character trait.
• Henchmen have one less weird talent.
• Henchmen are un-motivated (and generally shiftless)
• Henchmen must enter a career compatible with their Character's career
• Henchmen start with 0.25*PC's eps+d10eps and (Level)d10 bps.
• Henchmen cannot gain Henchmen on the Career Events table. Re-roll and Treat Gain Henchman results.

 

• Henchmen earn bonus EPs only. (2/3*Character EPs - Henchman EPs)/5, but never more than 10eps. Bonus EPs awarded at the end of games after PC EPs.
• Henchmen learn normally

Learning

At the end of every adventure (the end of a game session unless the characters are caught in a cliff-hanger) each character gets to make at least one learning roll. The number of rolls they can make is based on the amount of time the adventure covered:

Time	Learning Rolls
up to 1 week	1
up to 1 month	2
up to 6 months	3
6 months +	months/2

In addition, the GM may give out additional chances to learn based on the adventure. These special chances could occur during the game session.

Learning Roll modifiers:

Time Spent	1 day	+0
	1 week	+1
	1 month	+2
	6 months	+3
Situation	No Teacher	-3 (or more for some skills)
	Clear Effort Made	+2
	Full Time Study	+4
Language	1st pt (50 words)	+0
	2nd pt (simple conversation)	-2
	3rd pt (fluent)	-4
	4th pt (native)*	-6
	Total Immersion	+4
	Partial Immersion	-2
Skills	1st pt (8-)	+0
	2nd pt (11- or stat-2)	-2
	3rd pt (stat rolls)	-4
	Additional pts (+1/2pts)**	-4
Weird Talents	Charismatic	+2 to learning pre-based skills
	Coordinated	+2 to learning dex-based skills
	Eidetic Memory	+1 to learning non-pre/dex skills
	Jack-of-all-Trades	+2 to learning prof skills
	Linguist	+2 to learning languages
	Scholar	+2 to learning knowledge skills
	Traveller	+2 to learning area knowledges
* 4th point of non-native languages can only be learned by linguists
** Additional points of skills can only be learned characters with the appropriate weird talent

Languages and skills can be learned. The base chance to learn is (stat roll -3) where stat is the base stat for the skill being learned, or int for 11- skills and languages. If a successful learning roll is made the character gains 1pt of the target skill/language.

Examples: Our heroes flee the goblinoid horde and end up lost in the Great Forest. They spend weeks wandering around before they find a village. At the end of the evening the GM determines that 3 weeks have gone by, so everyone gets 2 learning rolls. In addition, everyone gets a free chance to learn `Survival: Temperate Forest'.

Brad the Barbarian decides Navigation would be a good skill to learn. Not being the sharpest axe in the armory, Brad's int roll is only 12-, so his base chance to learn is 9-. He had at least a week to learn (+1), there was nobody around to teach him (-3), the party was trying really hard to figure out where they were (+2) and this will be his first point of Navigation (+0), so he is 9-. Not surprisingly he rolls a 12 and fails.

With his second learning roll Brad decides to brush up on his Dwarvish. He gets +1 for the week spent, the dwarf in the party begrudgingly agrees to teach him. Brad didn't mention he was trying this during the adventure or do anything special to try and learn, so he doesn't get any effort modifier and this is his 2nd point of Dwarvish (-2). Brad gets lucky and rolls an 8, exactly what he needed.

Brad already has Survival: Temperate Forest, and has no Weird Talents that allow him to buy it up, so he gets no benefit from the free learning opportunity. He does, however, act as a teacher for the rest of the party. Helping his friends makes Brad happy.

Jumping

Character base leap = 1+trunc(log2(lift/weight))".

Aging

Characters start to deteriorate when they reach their racial starting age + 2 * racial age increment. At that point and every age increment thereafter they lose d6-1 (rolled separately) from base Con and Bod, and d4-1 from Str and Dex. When any base stat reached zero due to aging the character dies.

New Skills & Maneuvers

Lycanthropes

Arduin lycanthropes are born that way, you can't become one by being bitten (think Cat People not American Werewolf in London). If you are lucky(?) enough to be one, first roll to see what type of lycanthrope character is:

	Werebear	Wereboar	Werelynx	Wererat	Werewolf
Amazon	01-20	21-30	31-40	41-50	51-00
Centaur	01-20	21-40	41-60	61-80	81-00

Kobbit	01-10	11-20	21-30	31-90	91-00

Then record special abilities. Note that some abilities are only gained on the night of full moons

	Normal Form	Beast Form
Werebear	+2 Str	+20 Str
Wereboar	+2 Con, +2 Bod	+15 Con, +15 Bod
Werelynx	+1 Dex, +2" running	+5 Dex, +10" running
Wererat	+2 Dex	+10 Dex
Werewolf	+1 Str, +1 Con, +1 Bod	+10 Str, +10 Con, +10 Bod

Gain an extra trait

	Werebear	Wereboar	Werelynx	Wererat	Werewolf
Trait:	Hedonistic	Stubborn	Curious	Cautious	Aggressive

Characters assume `Beast Form' on the night of full moons, from dusk to dawn. While in beast form, the character acts at an animal level. The transformation process leaves the character hungry, so typically the beast form needs to hunt. Lycantrhopes prefer to hunt their own food, but they can be placated with a captive or freshly-killed meat source. Once they have eaten, characters in beast form seek a natural habitat. For most lycanthropes this means the wilderness, but Wererats may seek our sewers or abandoned buildings. Characters in beast-form are quick-tempered and vicious. If they are threatened or impeded in any way they will attack. When dawn comes, character reverts to normal form with no memory of what happened while in beast form.

Characters in beast-form cannot cast spells or pray for blessings (they can still get the post-Death blessings). They will not use weapons, armor or tools of any kind. Any items held/worn during transformation are immediately discarded. They generally cannot use skills, except for those appropriate to animals (Tracking, Climbing. etc.). They cannot use or understand language. They have almost no memory, but they do recognize friends and enemies. They will attack enemies on sight and try not to eat their friends.

Characters in beast-form get the following standard modifications:

+3 OCV and DCV, +3 DC

2x recovery

Regenerate (Con/5) Body/rnd

Tracking Scent

Attack forms:

 

		OCV	DCV	Damage	Comment
Werebear	Bite	-2	-2	2d6	May grab
	Claw	+1	-	1.5d6	Reduced Penetration
	Hug	+1	-2	+20 Str Grab	Squeeze for Str+4d6N
Wereboar	Charge	+2	-	+4d6N	Follows full move
	Bite	-1	-2	2d6+1	May Grab
Werelynx	Bite	-1	-1	1d6+1	May Grab
	Claw	+2	-	1d6	Reduced Penetration
Wererat	Bite	-1	-1	1d6+1	May Grab
	Claw	+2	-	0.5d6	Reduced Penetration
Werewolf	Bite	+1	-1	2d6+1	May Grab

 

Psionics

Psionics are an inherent ability possessed by some creatures. In most respects it works like magic: characters have an End pool, and each ability costs a set amount of End. The pool recovers fully 1/day. Unless otherwise specified, each psionic power takes 1/2 phase to use. Activating a Psionic power requires concentration, the psionic is at 1/2 DCV while using/starting a power. Psionics are not magic and cannot be detected by `Detect Magic' spells. Any psionic power counts as a mental power for purposes of detecting other mental powers.

First, roll to see how powerful a psionic character is:

Roll	Level	# of Abilities	End
01-90	Lesser	1	(Ego+Level)/2
91-99	Minor	2	Ego+Level
00	Major	3	Ego+2*Level

The roll abilities. Re-roll duplicates.

Roll	Ability	Cost	Effect
01-09	Intellect Fortress	1	+20 Mental Defense, -3 DECV, 1 rnd duration
10-18	Mind Blank	1	+5 DECV, 1 rnd duration
19-27	Psionic Blast	2	6d6 Ego Blast
28-36	Mental Shock	2	8d6 Ego Blast, only for stunning, +1d6/extra End expended
37-45	Ego Whip	2	+3 ECV, 3d6 Ego Blast + 3d6 Ego Drain (rec 1pt/minute)
46-54	Mental Barrier	3	+10pts Mental Defense, 1 minute duration
55-63	Probe	3	12d6 Telepathy, +1d6/extra End expended
64-72	Aura Sight	4	20d6 Telepathy, +3 ECV, only to assess personality
73-81	Pain Amplification	5	+5 ECV, 20d6 Ego Blast, only for matching stun taken in the next rnd
82-90	Psychic Crush	6	5d6 Int Drain + 5d6 Ego Drain based on ECV (rec 1pt ea./min.)
91-00	Astral Projection	8	Creates invisible, intangible duplicate, visible as a Mental Power. Duration=1rnd, +1 time step per extra 2 End spent while activating. Duplicate can use spells/psionics that affect self only. Astral duplicates interact normally. Astral duplicates have duplicates of all items carried by caster. While astrally projecting the normal body is in a coma. Astral duplicate must return to body before duration expires or both die.

Weight Minimums: It is difficult for small characters to effectively use large weapons (and shields), even if the characters are very strong. The minimum weight to use a weapon without difficulty is 25kg*2^(Weapon Str Min./10). Characters under the minimum weight are at -1 OCV and DCV/extra str due to poor balance when using weapons or shields. Here's a handy table:

Str Min.	Min. Weigh	Str Min.	Min. Weight	Str Min.	Min. Weight	Str Min.	Min. Weight
0	25kg	10	50kg	20	100kg	30	200kg
1	27kg	11	54kg	21	107kg	31	214kg
2	29kg	12	57kg	22	115kg	32	230kg
3	31kg	13	62kg	23	123kg	33	246kg
4	33kg	14	66kg	24	132kg	34	264kg
5	35kg	15	71kg	25	141kg	35	282kg
6	38kg	16	76kg	26	152kg	36	304kg
7	41kg	17	81kg	27	162kg	37	324kg
8	44kg	18	87kg	28	174kg	38	348kg
9	47kg	19	93kg	29	187kg	39	374kg

Note that the -10 Str min. adjustment for 2 Handed weapons does count for determining weight minimum. Example: an underweight Jaka (40kg) could wield a dagger (6 Str min.) no problem but has trouble with a Short Sword. He can wield a Bastard Sword 2 Handed, but not a Great Sword.

Shields provide DCV according to this formula: trunc(40*Str Min./Ht), where Str Min. is the Shield's Str Min. and Ht is the character's height in cm. Don't forget that shields suffer the same minimum weight penalties as weapons.

Shields have a base Def of 10 and 2+Str Min./2 Body and cost 0.5*Str Min. silver pieces. Shields are assumed to `block' blows and suffer no damage most of the time. They are only hit if the character is exactly missed. Example: A defending character has a total DCV of 14 (3 from shield). The shield only takes damage if the attacker hits a 13.

Magic Shields: Each +1 Def doubles shield cost. Each +1 DCV multiplies cost by 4.

Magic Armor: You can get Armor that is +1 Def with no extra weight for x2 the normal cost. Example: A normal-sized suit of chain (Def 6, normal cost 190sp) with +2 Def (=8 Def) would cost 760sp, or twice as much as an ordinary suit of Def 8 Plate Mail

Downtime

 

When player characters are not in the main party they are enjoying `downtime'. For each full month of `downtime' the character can engage in a downtime activity. Periods of time less than a month yield no benefit, the character is screwed, ha ha ha!

Downtime activities:

Buying/Selling Magic Items: Character get a reasonably good chance of getting good value.

Cult Activities: For each month spent on cult activities PCs gain 2d4 BPs. Henchmen gain 1d6 BPs.

Gather Followers: If the character is entitled to followers, a full complement of followers can be gained/replaced.

Learning: Character makes 3 learning rolls.

Training Henchmen: One henchman gains enough Exp to reach their asymptotic limit.

Gain Henchman: Roll for henchmen as if going up a level with an additional +50% chance of success.

 

Followers

 

Characters can gather followers when they become sufficiently high-leveled.

Exp:Elite followers 1/2 the exp of the character (and gain exp to always stay at 1/2 the exp of the character). Standard followers have 1/4 the exp of the character.

Race: Followers have the same race (and sex) as their character.

Career: Followers may have any of the careers listed for their character. Characters may have followers divided up into several different careers.

Stats: Elites have 1 15, 2 13s and 5 11s to distribute however the character wants. Standard followers have 1 13, 2 12s and 5 10s to distribute. All Elites and all Standards of a given career following a given character must have the same stats. Followers must meet career requirements.

Equipment: Followers start with a suit of non-magical armor, weapon and shield (if they use a 1 handed weapon)

BPs: Followers have 3*Level BPs. This makes Channeler and Holy Warrior followers not that great.
