About this document...

Advanced Microlite20 OSS (Old School Style) is a trimmed down, subminiature version of the Primary Fantasy SRD 3.5 rules (see license for more info) that has been designed to be quick and easy to play. The goal was to create a simpler game, but one where all of the resources of Primary Fantasy SRD 3.5 (monsters, spells, adventures and equipment) could be used without conversion. Advanced Microlite20 OSS is a Microlite20 variant designed for old school style play with a modern game system and nearly any fantasy adventure module or setting you can pull off your shelf.

A note about dice...

Dice are described using a 'd' followed by the number of sides on the die: d4, d6, d8, d10, d12 and d20. In some cases you will see d100, or d%. Roll two 10-sided dice, declaring one die as the 10's and the other as the one's. A number before the 'd' tells means you should roll the die more than once and add the sum. A +/- after the dice type means you should adjust the total by that amount. Examples: 4d6 means roll 4 six-sided dice. 2d4+1 means roll 2 four-sided dice and add 1 to the total. 1d3 means rolls a six-sided die and divide by 2.

Player Section Stats There are 3 stats : Strength (STR), Dexterity (DEX) and Mind (MIND). Strength (STR) is muscular power and physical stamina. Dexterity (DEX) is finesse and quickness. Mind (MIND) is mental power and intelligence. To determine your character's beginning stats, roll 4d6, remove the lowest die. Total remaining 3 dice and allocate to one of the stats. Repeat for remaining stats. Stat bonus = (STAT-10)/2, round down.

Stat Score Stat Bonus 3 -4 4 – 5 -3 6 – 7 -2 8 – 9 -1 10 – 11 0 12 – 13 +1 14 – 15 +2 16 – 17 +3 18 – 19 +4 20 – 21 +5

Table 1: Stat Bonus Table Races The base character races are Human, Elves, Dwarves and Halflings. The Expert rules add Gnomes, Half-orcs, Half-elves and Lizardfolk. All characters know how to speak the Common language. An elf, dwarf, halfling, gnome or lizardfolk also speaks a racial language, as appropriate. Half-orc's raised with orcs will know orcish. Half-elves raised with elves will know elven.

Table 2: Racial Attributes Classes The classes are Fighter, Rogue, Mage, Cleric, Paladin, Ranger, Druid, and Bard. Fighters, Paladins, and Rangers are considered “Fighting Classes.” Magi, Clerics and Druids are considered “Spell-casters”. Characters begin at Level 1 with 0 Experience Points. Characters start Level 1 with Hit Points = their Strength stat + 1d6. Characters advance to the next level when they have acquired experience points (XP) = 25 x the next level. When a character advances to the next level, their XP reset to zero. Each level adds: • 1d6 Hit Points • +1 to all Attack Rolls • +1 to a single skill bonus (player's choice) If the level divides by 3, add 1 point to a single Stat (players choice). If the level divides by 2, select a new Talent.

Table 16: Bard Spell-casting table

Class Abilities Bardic Enrapture – the character's song counters sound-based effects within a 30'. Bardic Allure – the character's song can charm person or remove fear up to 3 times (total) per day. See Charm Person and Remove Fear spells for more information. Detect Evil – the character can detect evil, as the level 1 Cleric spell, Detect Evil. Immunity to Disease – the character does not suffer the effects of any disease. Immunity to Fey Affects – the character is immune to the spell-like effects of woodland fey (Dryad, Grig, Nixie, Nymph, Pixie, or Satyr). Improved Two-Handed Fighting – the character only suffers a -1 penalty while using Two-Handed Fighting (see below). Lay Hands – the character can heal up to 2hp per level per day by touch. Multiple Attacks – the character may make repeated attacks if the total melee attack bonus is greater than or equal to +6. The character is granted one additional attack against another opponent in melee weapon striking distance that round at -2 to the attack bonus. If the adjusted attack bonus is still greater than or equal to +6, yet another attack may be made against another opponent in melee weapon striking distance at -2 to the attack bonus. And so on... Pass Without Trace – the character may pass without leaving a trail, footprints or any evidence of their direction. Shape-change – the character can assume the form of any small or medium sized animal up to 3 times per day. The character heals 2hp per level when changing back into human form. Sneak Attack – If they successfully Sneak (usually Subterfuge + DEX, but depends on situation) up on a foe they can add their Subterfuge skill rank to the damage of their first attack Spell-casting – the character may cast spells. For more information, see Magic. Turn Undead – the character can cause undead to flee with a successful Magic Attack. The DC is the current Hit Points of the Undead. If the DC is exceeded by 10 the undead is destroyed. This can be used (2 + Level + MIND Bonus) times per day. Two-Handed Fighting – the character can wield 2 light weapons and attack with both in a round, taking a -2 penalty on all attack rolls. (You cannot wield two rapiers at the same time.) Weapon Finesse – the character can use DEX bonus + Level as Melee attack bonus instead, if wielding a light weapon. Backgrounds Characters may select, with the approval of the GM, a one or two word background that represents a broad base of skills and knowledge, e.g. Farmer, Merchant, Desert Nomad, Noble, Shaman, Templar, Thyatian Mercenary, Ritualist, etc. Backgrounds need not be related to the PCs class, e.g. a player who creates a deeply religious fighter skilled in the arts of vision interpretation, divination and oration might pick 'Prophet' as a background. Backgrounds may not duplicate a class. The GM will consider the character's background just as he would the character's class when deciding if a character will succeed with an action. For example, a character with an “Engineer” background should have a much better chance of damming a creek or building a bridge over it than a character with a “Courtier” background.

Talents At level 2 (and every 2 levels thereafter), characters may select one narrow area of skill where they are better than average: something they are “Good at.” This talent should be either something directly related to their class or background – or something they have spent game time and/or money learning. If the player wishes (and the GM approves), instead of selecting a new talent a talent the character is already “Good at” be improved to “Expert at” at a later even-numbered level and a talent the character is “Expert at” may be improved a final time to “Master at” at yet a later even-numbered level. The GM will consider the character's talents just as he would the character's class and background when deciding if a character will succeed with an action. Numerical benefits for talents will only be needed when the GM decides a skill success roll is required, +2 per level is a good place to start for most talents (i.e. Good at +2, Expert at +4, Master at: +6). Skills There are five general skills in Advanced Microlite20 OSS:  Physical  Subterfuge  Knowledge  Communication  Survival Physical skill is activities of the body. Physical skills would be breaking down a door, prying open a treasure chest, or tipping a boulder to tumble down a cliff. Subterfuge skill is trickery and concealment, as well as countering trickery. Subterfuge skills would be hiding in shadows, moving silently, listening to a quiet conversation in the next room, picking a lock, searching for traps, disarming a trap or spotting a brick that acts as a trigger to a concealed door. Knowledge skill is memory, education and ability to figure things out. Knowledge skills would be finding the right path out of a dungeon, figuring out what the words on the side of a candle mean, deciphering an ancient script or remembering the antidote for a poison. Communication skill is the ability to talk, read and write effectively. Communication skills would be forging a document, convincing a town guard to allow entry after dark, ride an animal, gather information from a book. Survival skill is the ability keep healthy, safe and comfortable in the wilderness. Survival examples would be knowing edible plants, tracking, building a shelter and finding water. Each skill has a skill bonus (starting at +0). These skills are not used directly by the players in most cases. Instead players are expected to think like adventurers, tell the GM what they are doing and the GM decides if it will succeed in the situation, taking into account the character's class and background. Skill Roll If the GM decides a random success chance is truly needed, he may resolve the situation with a roll of his choice or he may call for a skill-based roll: Skill Roll = 1d20 + Skill Bonus + Stat Bonus + Skill Roll Modifier (see table)

Skill Type Skill Roll Modifier Description

Primary + Class Level the character is attempting something directly related to their class or background

Secondary + (Class Level/2, round up) the character is attempting something only loosely related to their class or background

Minor + (Class Level/3, round down) the character is attempting something not really related to their class or background

Table 17: Skill Roll Modifier

When the GM calls for a skill roll, he will declare the type of skill roll, which skill and stat the roll will use, and any situational modifiers and the player will make a skill roll. For example, Climbing would use Physical + STR bonus. Dodging a falling rock is Physical + DEX bonus. Finding a trap is Subterfuge + MIND bonus. Disabling a trap is Subterfuge + DEX bonus. Roll higher than the GM assigned Difficulty Class to succeed. Unless the GM rules otherwise, a natural roll of 20 always succeeds for a Primary Skill Roll. Suggested Difficulty Classes with Easy defined as a 50/50 chance of an average person succeeding on the first try: Easy - 10, Moderate - 15, Difficult - 20, Extremely Difficult - 25, Legendary – 30, Improbable - 35, Unbelievable - 40. Note that there are no “saving throws” in this game; use level + STR or DEX bonus for Fortitude and Reflex saves. Saving against magic (Will save) is usually MIND bonus + your level. Magic Spell-casters have access to all spells from the appropriate spell list:  Magi can cast arcane spells  Clerics can cast divine spells  Druids can cast druidic spells

Spell Level Spell-casters have access to any spell level equal or below 1/2 their class level, rounded up. All spell-casters have access to level 0 spells from the appropriate spell list. For Magi, Clerics and Druids, the effective spell-caster level is the character's level. For Bards, the effective spell-caster level is the character's level – 5 (see Bard Spell-casting table).

Table 18: Spell Level Access

Spell Cost Casting a spell of any kind costs Hit Points. The cost is 1 + double the level of the spell being cast: Spell-casters may select one “signature” spell per spell level from 1st upward that they prefer to use over any other. These spells are easier to cast due to familiarity, costing 1 less HP to use.

Hit Point Cost 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 19

Table 19: Spell Cost This loss cannot be healed by magic but is recovered after 8 hours rest. There is no need to memorize spells in advance.

Difficulty Class For purposes of things like saves and dispelling, the Difficulty Class (DC) for all spells is: Spell Difficulty Class (DC) = 10 + Caster Level + Caster's MIND bonus Combat Casting In combat, if a character is hit and takes damage (or other effect that could interfere with spell casting, like paralysis) before casting a spell, the spell fizzles. This costs the caster 1 HP per level of the spell he was attempting to cast and the caster loses his action for the round.

Fizzled Spell Level 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Hit Point Cost 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Table 20: Fizzled Spell Cost The character may expend an action point on Heroic Effort to avoid these effects and cast the spell as if the character had not been hit.

Metamagic Spellcasters may select one metamagic ability from this list at levels 3 and 6. A metamagiced spell is cast at a higher HP cost: the standard HP cost for the spell plus the HP cost for all metamagic being applied to the spell. The GM has the final say as to what metamagic effects do or do not make sense to use with a particular spell. Multiple metamagic effects can be applied to a single spell; however, each metamagic effect after the first adds an additional +1 to the HP cost of the spell. Empower Spell - All variable, numeric effects of an empowered spell are increased by one-half. Saving throws and opposed rolls are not affected, nor are spells without random variables. An empowered spell adds +4 to the HP cost of the base spell. Enlarge Spell - You can alter a spell with a range of close, medium, or long to increase its range by 100%. Spells whose ranges are not defined by distance, as well as spells whose ranges are not close, medium, or long, are not affected. An enlarged spell adds +2 to the HP cost of the base spell. Extend Spell - An extended spell lasts twice as long as normal. A spell with a duration of concentration, instantaneous, or permanent is not affected. An extended spell adds +2 to the HP cost of the base spell. Widen Spell - You can alter an area shaped spell to increase its area. Any numeric measurements of the spell‟s area increase by 100%. A widened spell adds +6 to the HP cost of the base spell. Combat Hit Points = STR Stat + 1d6/Level. Armor Class (AC) = 10 + DEX bonus + Armor bonus. If HP reach 0, unconscious and near death. Further damage directly reduces STR. If that reaches 0, death. A character heals either 1 STR point or twice his level hit points per full day of total rest. A night of rest will allow a character to recover 1 Hit Point from damage and all Hit Points used to cast spells. STR lost to damage must be recovered before hit points from damage can be recovered. Surprise: At the beginning of an encounter, roll 1d6 for each side. On a roll of 1-2 a side is surprised and may not act at all in the first round. Initiative: Roll d20 + DEX bonus for initiative order. Everyone can do one thing each turn; move, attack, cast a spell, etc. The GM may choose to allow some combined actions, like a charge attack, to be one thing. Melee attack bonus = STR bonus + Level Missile attack bonus = DEX bonus + Level Magic attack bonus = MIND bonus + Level Add attack bonus to d20 roll. If higher than your opponent's Armor Class (AC), it's a hit. A natural 20 is an automatic hit and if the roll would normally hit, the hit is a critical doing maximum damage. A natural 1 always misses. Add STR bonus to Melee damage, x2 for 2-handed weapons.

Unarmed Strike A character with no weapons may still fight by punching and kicking. Punching and kicking is called an Unarmed Strike. A successful unarmed strike does 1d3 damage. Special Combat Situations Opportunity Attacks: Anyone not surprised and with a ready weapon who is not already involved in a melee combat gets a free attack on opponents trying to move past them – this attack is in addition to their normal attack for the round. If the attack is successful, the opponents takes damage and can move no further that round. Ranged Attack into Melee: Shooting or throwing into a crowded melee is not a good idea, there's a 50% chance you'll hit a friend instead of an opponent. Fighting classes may take -4 to hit to avoid hitting a friend. Dodge: A character who is not making an Active or Full Attack may forgo his next attack at any time and dodge out of the way. Roll 1d20 + DEX bonus + Physical Combat Bonus. The total is the character's effective AC until his next attack. If it's lower than his real AC, well, the character zigged when he should've zagged. The GM may modify the roll by +2 or -2 (or more) to reflect the terrain and cover of the area. Aid Another: A character who can make a melee attack on an opponent engaging an ally in melee combat can help that character attack or defend by distracting or interfering with an opponent. Make an attack roll against AC 10. If successful, the ally gains either a +2 (+1 at levels 5, 10, 15, etc. for fighting classes) bonus on his next attack roll against that opponent or a +2 (+1 at levels 5, 10, 15, etc. for fighting classes) bonus to AC against that opponent's next attack (aiding character's choice), as long as that attack comes before the beginning of the aiding character's next turn. Multiple characters can aid the same ally. Grapple: A character can make a grapple attack on an adjacent target. A successful attack roll means they are then grappled with their target. When grappled, both the attacker and the defender's AC becomes 10 and neither can make move actions. When grappled, the defender can‟t make normal actions and must make opposed rolls (1d20 + PCB) against the attacker to attempt to break free. As long as the defender is grappled the attacker can make automatic unarmed attacks on the defender. Knockout Blow: A character can attempt an armed melee attack against an adjacent creature to stun them. On a successful hit the target is stunned one minute for every point the attacker rolled higher than their defense. Rogues add their level in minutes to this time. Action Points All characters have 1 action point per character level. Actions points may be used to simulate a heroic effort by a character or to simulate a lucky break. Action Points recover 1 per day of total rest in safe surroundings. Heroic Effort: Each action point spent on heroic effort allows the player to roll a 1d6 and adjust any single die roll affecting the character or made as a result of the character's actions in the character's favor by the amount rolled. The action point must be expended before the die roll to be adjusted is made. An action point may also be spend on Heroic Effort to allow a spell-caster to continue to cast a spell if hit during casting. Luck: Spending one action point for luck will cause a minor bit of good luck to come the character's way. Spending two action points for good luck will cause a major bit of good luck to come the character's way. In both cases, the GM decides exactly what the good luck is, but it should be helpful in a minor/major way to the character's immediate situation. Second Chance: Spending one action point allows the player to re-roll any roll he just made, but he must accept the result of the new roll even if it is lower. Exception: Using a second chance for a failed “save-or-die” roll changes the result to the minimum needed for success. Shake Off Fatigue: Recover half your lost hit points instantly. This counts as an action. Strike Now: The character can take his action right now instead of waiting for his normal strike speed position to come up. This cannot be used to cast a spell over 3rd level or if the character has taken a defensive Combat Stance for the round (Full Defense or Active Defense). Experience Characters get Experience Points (XP) when their party defeats monsters. (Note that monsters can be defeated without being killed.) Experience Points (XP) = Hit Dice of defeated monsters. Add +1 for each doubling of the number of foes. e.g.: 1 kobold (a 1 hit die monster) = 1 XP. 2 kobolds = 2 XP. 4 kobolds = 3 XP, 8 kobolds = 4 XP etc. Add +1 or +2 XP (GM‟s discretion) if the foes have dangerous special abilities. Characters who do not participate in the encounter in some way do not get XP for it. Characters also earn a GM-assigned amount of experience points for defeating traps, solving puzzles, excellent roleplaying, and the like. The GM should assign XP depending on the situation (usually from 1 to 5 XP). Characters can also lose up to 5 XP for generally ignoring their alignment or other very poor roleplaying. Individual characters can also earn experience points from spending money found in treasures (or taken from monsters) in totally frivolous ways (e.g. wine, women, song, donations to a temple without getting anything in return, generic “training,” etc.). A character earns 1 XP for each 100gp so spent. Add up the Experience Points (XP) of every successful encounter you take part in plus any earned from GM specials and treasure spent. When the total is equal to 25 x your next level, you've advanced to the next level. Reset the total XP to 0 after advancing. Example: Four newly minted second level adventurers have just completed a dungeon adventure. They each have 36 XP and need 75 XP to reach third level. Their expedition was extremely successful. They defeated 22 XP worth of monsters and earned 7 XP from traps and other GM specials for a total of 29 XP each. The party‟s cleric earned 4 XP for great roleplaying while risking her life to save the party from an angry spirit. The party also found and recovered 2900gp in treasure from the dungeon. That‟s 725gp each. The cleric decides to donate the entire sum to her temple, and earn 7 more XP. This gives her 40 XP for a total of 76 XP. She advances to 3rd level and resets her XP to 0. The other party members earned 29 XP each for a total of 65 XP each. They remain 2nd level. Money The most common coin is the gold piece (gp). A gold piece is worth 10 silver pieces. Each silver piece is worth 10 copper pieces (cp). In addition to copper, silver, and gold coins there are also platinum pieces (pp), which are each worth 10 gp.

Table 30: Two-handed Weapons Masterwork Items A masterwork weapon is a finely crafted version of a normal weapon. Wielding it provides a +1 enhancement bonus on attack rolls. You can’t add the masterwork quality to a weapon after it is created; it must be crafted as a masterwork weapon. The masterwork quality adds 300 gp to the cost of a normal weapon (or 6 gp to the cost of a single unit of ammunition). Adding the masterwork quality to a double weapon costs twice the normal increase (+600 gp). Masterwork ammunition is damaged (effectively destroyed) when used. The enhancement bonus of masterwork ammunition does not stack with any enhancement bonus of the projectile weapon firing it. All magic weapons are automatically considered to be of masterwork quality. The enhancement bonus granted by the masterwork quality doesn’t stack with the enhancement bonus provided by the weapon’s magic. Even though some types of armor and shields can be used as weapons, you can’t create a masterwork version of such an item that confers an enhancement bonus on attack rolls. Adventuring Equipment

Table 34: Special Substances and Items

Acid You can throw a flask of acid as a splash weapon. Treat this attack as a ranged touch attack with a range increment of 10 feet. A direct hit deals 1d8 points of acid damage. Every creature within 5 feet of the point where the acid hits takes 1 point of acid damage from the splash.

Alchemist’s Fire You can throw a flask of alchemist’s fire as a splash weapon. Treat this attack as a ranged touch attack with a range increment of 10 feet. A direct hit deals 1d6 points of fire damage. Every creature within 5 feet of the point where the flask hits takes 1 point of fire damage from the splash. On the round following a direct hit, the target takes an additional 1d6 points of damage. If desired, the target can use a full-round action to attempt to extinguish the flames before taking this additional damage. Extinguishing the flames requires a DC 15 Reflex save. Rolling on the ground provides the target a +2 bonus on the save. Leaping into a lake or magically extinguishing the flames automatically smothers the fire.

Antitoxin If you drink antitoxin, you get a +5 alchemical bonus on fortitude rolls against poison for 1 hour. Everburning Torch This otherwise normal torch has a continual flame spell cast upon it. An everburning torch clearly illuminates a 20-foot radius and provides shadowy illumination out to a 40-foot radius.

Holy Water Holy water damages undead creatures and evil outsiders almost as if it were acid. A flask of holy water can be thrown as a splash weapon. Treat this attack as a ranged touch attack with a range increment of 10 feet. A flask breaks if thrown against the body of a corporeal creature, but to use it against an incorporeal creature, you must open the flask and pour the holy water out onto the target. Thus, you can douse an incorporeal creature with holy water only if you are adjacent to it. Doing so is a ranged touch attack that does not provoke attacks of opportunity. A direct hit by a flask of holy water deals 2d4 points of damage to an undead creature. Each such creature within 5 feet of the point where the flask hits takes 1 point of damage from the splash.

Smokestick This alchemically treated wooden stick instantly creates thick, opaque smoke when ignited. The smoke fills a 10-foot cube (treat the effect as a fog cloud spell, except that a moderate or stronger wind dissipates the smoke in 1 round). The stick is consumed after 1 round, and the smoke dissipates naturally.

Sunrod This 1-foot-long, gold-tipped, iron rod glows brightly when struck. It clearly illuminates a 30-foot radius and provides shadowy illumination in a 60-foot radius. It glows for 6 hours, after which the gold tip is burned out and worthless.

Tanglefoot Bag When you throw a tanglefoot bag at a creature (as a ranged touch attack with a range increment of 10 feet), the bag comes apart and the goo bursts out, entangling the target and then becoming tough and resilient upon exposure to air. An entangled creature takes a -2 penalty on attack rolls and a -4 penalty to Dexterity and must make a DC 15 Reflex save or be glued to the floor, unable to move. Even on a successful save, it can move only at half speed. Huge or larger creatures are unaffected by a tanglefoot bag. A flying creature is not stuck to the floor, but it must make a DC 15 Reflex save or be unable to fly (assuming it uses its wings to fly) and fall to the ground. A tanglefoot bag does not function underwater. A creature that is glued to the floor (or unable to fly) can break free by making a DC 17 Strength check or by dealing 15 points of damage to the goo with a slashing weapon. A creature trying to scrape goo off itself, or another creature assisting, does not need to make an attack roll; hitting the goo is automatic, after which the creature that hit makes a damage roll to see how much of the goo was scraped off. Once free, the creature can move (including flying) at half speed. A character capable of spellcasting who is bound by the goo must make a DC 15 Concentration check to cast a spell. The goo becomes brittle and fragile after 2d4 rounds, cracking apart and losing its effectiveness. An application of universal solvent to a stuck creature dissolves the alchemical goo immediately.

Thunderstone You can throw this stone as a ranged attack with a range increment of 20 feet. When it strikes a hard surface (or is struck hard), it creates a deafening bang that is treated as a sonic attack. Each creature within a 10-foot-radius spread must make a DC 15 Fortitude save or be deafened for 1 hour. A deafened creature, in addition to the obvious effects, takes a -4 penalty on initiative and has a 20% chance to miscast and lose any spell with a verbal component that it tries to cast. Since you don’t need to hit a specific target, you can simply aim at a particular 5-foot square. Treat the target square as AC 5.

Tindertwig The alchemical substance on the end of this small, wooden stick ignites when struck against a rough surface. Creating a flame with a tindertwig is much faster than creating a flame with flint and steel (or a magnifying glass) and tinder. Lighting a torch with a tindertwig is a standard action (rather than a full-round action), and lighting any other fire with one is at least a standard action. Mounts and Work Animals

Game Master Section Monsters Skills: All creatures have a bonus to all skills (Strength, Dexterity and Mind) equal to their number of Hit Dice. If the creature is intelligent, add +3 to one skill. Add stat bonuses to suit and as logic dictates. This is intentionally kept open – if you need a nimble bugbear, assign the +3 bonus to Dexterity; if a warrior, give +3 to Strength; for a spell-caster assign the +3 to Mind and give levels of Mage or Cleric (see below). Monster Advancement: To make a tougher monster, add more Hit Dice; each additional HD adds one to their skill and combat bonuses. For each doubling of the Hit Dice, increase the dice size for attacks (ie, d4- >d6, d6->d8, etc). Alternatively, add class levels to intelligent monsters. Start with the base Hit Dice and add levels of Fighter, Rogue, Mage or Cleric as required. Create your own: Pick a name, assign a level, hit dice = level, hit points = 1d8 per level, magic save = 10 + level, all attack bonuses = level, damage = 1d8 for ordinary claws, bites, and weapons, 2d8 for large maws, giant clubs, 3d8 for dragon bites and the like, AC = armor equivalent; pick special abilities as the level increases. Special attacks act like magic attacks against an appropriate defense. Intelligent monsters may have classes at the GM's option. If needed, assign stats to suit. Equip and add abilities as required.

Monster Stat Block Monsters are described with the following stat block format: Monster Name: hit dice (HD), average hit points, armor class (AC) and the attacks the monster can use. Monster List

In cases where the reaction of the monsters to the party is not obvious, the GM may opt to make a reaction roll for the monsters by rolling 2d6 and adding the MIND bonus (and any other appropriate modifiers) to the roll and consulting this table.

Adjusted Reaction Roll Result

2 or less Very Unfavorable

3-6 Unfavorable

7 Neutral/Uncertain

8-11 Favorable

12 or more Very Favorable

Table 38: Monster Reactions

Interpretation of the results is left to the GM, however, these general principles may prove helpful. Very Unfavorable means the monsters will most likely attack unless the odds are overwhelmingly against them. They will not help the characters. Unfavorable means the monsters are hostile and might attack unless they are given a good reason not to. They will not help the characters. Neutral means the monsters are unsure of the party.They are not likely to attack immediately, but are not friendly or helpful. Favorable means the monsters are willing to listen and are open to negotiation. They might be willing to be slightly helpful. Very Favorable means the monsters like the characters and are willing to be somewhat helpful and are open to working with the party to mutual advantage.

Morale While a few monsters, such as mindless creatures, are fearless and will fight to the death, most monsters have a strong desire to survive and will not continue to fight when the battle is going against them. They will instead seek to retreat, to flee, or even to surrender. The GM decides when monsters abandon the battle and retreat, based on the situation and the monster's intelligence. Traps Whether inside a dungeon or a nobleman’s manor house, adventurers can often be hurt, or even killed, without ever encountering a monster of any kind, as many dungeons are filled with debilitating or lethal traps set to keep wayward hands off of fantastic treasures.

Falling Damage A falling character takes 1d6 hp of damage per 10 feet fallen. If the character makes a successful Phys+DEX roll, he takes only half damage. The DC for the phys+DEX roll is equal to the depth fallen in feet. In the event that the fall ends in an area laden with spikes or jagged rocks, add +1 hp of damage to falling damage per 10’ fallen (with a maximum of +10 hp). Disease Diseases have various symptoms and are spread through a number of ways. Several typical diseases are summarized below. The entries for diseases include the following information: Name of the disease: Type, DC, incubation, damage.  Type lists the disease’s method of delivery (contact, inhaled, or injury).  DC lists the phys+STR check DC needed to prevent infection.  Incubation lists the time before damage begins.  Damage lists the ability damage the character takes after incubation and each day afterward.

Table 39: Diseases Poison Characters can possibly take damage from a weapon that has been poisoned, be attacked by a creature whose natural attacks feature poison, consume poison hidden in food or drink, or be poisoned in some other way. Several typical poisons are summarized below. The entries for poisons include the following information: Name of the poison: Type, DC, damage, price.  Type lists the poison’s method of delivery (contact, ingested, inhaled, or injury).  DC lists the phys+STR check DC needed to avoid the poison’s damage.  Damage is expressed as “xdx/xdx.” The first number is the initial damage, taken immediately upon failing the phys+STR check against the poison. The second number is the secondary damage, taken one minute after exposure to the poison if a second phys+STR check is failed. Ability damage is temporary unless marked with an asterisk(*), in which case the loss is permanent. Unconsciousness lasts 1d3 hours.  Price lists the cost for one dose of the poison. It can usually only be obtained through less-than-reputable sources, as the possession of poisons are commonly illegal.
