Heavy : 40 Kg + Strength x10 / -2 to all physical action (Fight, Acrobatic skill, etc) & speed halved

Combat & Movement

Breaking apart of movement
You spend your Minor Action to move your Speed for your turn, but you can spread that movement over
your turn. Assuming Speed 10, you can move 4, do a Major Action, then move another 6.

Grapple Stunt : 3 SP
You slip inside your opponents guard and restrain them. You can only perform this stunt if your original
attack was unarmed, or with a gauntlet or chain weapon and you have at least one hand free. You must
succeed on a Accuracy (Brawling) test vs target Defense. To break a grapple you need to succeed on a
opposed Accuracy (Brawling) Test. You can release him as a free action.
A restrained creature's speed becomes 0, and it cannot benefit from any bonus to its speed.
Attack rolls against the creature have a +1 bonus, and the creature's attacks have a -1 penalty.
The creature suffers a -2 penalty on all Dexterity tests.

Ignore Shield Stunt : 2 SP

You can ignore your target shield defense bonus when you attack with a flexible weapon (morning star, flail,
spiked chains)

Rapid Ready : 1 SP
You can take a ready action as a free action, even if you have already used 1 ready action this round.

Bleeding Stunt : 3 SP+

You provoke a bleeding wound to your target, causing a loss of 1 hit point/rd. You can add +1 hit point of
bleeding damage for each SP you spent. The bleeding can be stopped by a successful Heal action (TN = 7 +
damage dealt +1/bleeding damage); or with magical healing.

Severe Injury Stunt : 6 SP

You severely wound your targets in their attack limb or otherwise wound them beyond immediate healing
abilities. This includes but is not limited to bleeding, breaking, burning, denting, or whatever fits your mode
of attack. Your target tests their Constitution (Stamina) vs. TN = damage dealt to a minimum of 11 to resist
the effect, if you dealt damage more than once they test against the highest result. If they succeed they
resist the effect. If they fail they lose use of the limb (or any weapons in it), and become Injured (Targets get
-2 to attacks, defense, and ability tests and move at speed. Also targets lose 1d6 HP at the beginning of
their turn until healing is administered), but the lost limb or severe injury will require more extensive
healing.

Weapons Groups
You can learn a new weapon group or increase your level in a weapon group you already have as a Talent
advancement.
If you are untrained in a weapon group, you take a 2 penalty on attack rolls and inflict half damage (rounded
down) when using a weapon from that group. If its a missile weapon, the range is cut in half as well. When
halving damage, add your Strength (or Perception for Bows and Black Powder weapons) before cutting the
damage in half.
Novice: You are trained and know how to use weapons of that group.
Journeyman: Your weapons knowledge increase. You get +1 damage with weapons of that group.
Master: You have mastered your weapon. You get +1SP when you generate stunt points with weapons of
that group.

CRAFT
Every Craft attempt is defined by two elements: the time required and the TN. The time required to craft an item is influenced not by
an item's price in silver pieces, but rather by its complexity. The TN is likewise influenced by item complexity.

Item Complexity
The complexity categories listed on the table above require some defining. Keep in mind that there is a certain amount of subjectivity
at work here. The key to item complexity isn't to rely an exhaustive list of what items belong to which categories. Instead, these rules
provide basic category descriptions and a few examples of sorts of items one might expect to fit each respective category.
Very Simple: These items are more or less all one piece or one material of simple shape with no moving parts.
Examples: crowbar, quarterstaff.
Simple: A simple item is largely made of one material, but it requires a more specialized shape.
Examples: many simple weapons (club, staves,), backpack, most common articles of clothing, simple traps such as pits.
Moderate: Moderate complexity items are characterized by diverse materials or different parts that must be integrated into a whole.
Examples: Most weapons, bows, all shields, leather armors, locks, simple traps using simple mechanical triggers, acid.
Complex: Complex items have diverse materials, moving parts, different parts, and/or
decorative bits. Examples: Most types of metal armors, crossbows, most vehicles
(excluding large ocean-going vessels), grenade, etc
Very Complex: These are the most complicated items. They require diverse
materials, moving parts, different parts, decorated bits, and/or multiple
functions or uses. Examples: ocean-going vessels, unusual armors
(such as barding),

Time Unit: This columns tells

you how long must be spent
working before a Craft check
is permitted.
TN Modifier: This modifier is
added to base TN 7 of all
Craft checks.

Tools
All crafts require artisans tools to give the best chance of success. If
improvised tools are used, the check is made with a -2 penalty. On the
other hand, masterwork artisans tools and/or apprentice to help provide a
+1 to +2 circumstance bonus on the check.,

Failing a Craft Check

What happens if the Craft check fails? Well, that depends on how badly it failed. When confronted with a failed Craft check, there
are up to three possible bad effects :
1. If the Craft check fails, the item is not completed. Work for another time unit and try again.
2. If the Craft check fails by 4 or more, half of the raw materials are ruined. Pay half the raw materials cost to replace the ruined
materials.
3. If the Craft check fails by 8 or more and you are using Craft (alchemy), your laboratory explodes. Pay to replace it as well as the
ruined raw materials (as number 2 above). Also make a TN 11 Dexterity (Acrobatics) check to avoid 1d6 points of fire damage.

Repairing Items
You can repair an item by making checks against the same TN that it took to make the item in the first place. The cost of
repairing an item is 20% of the item's price.

CRAFT
Construction (Stone/Wood)
When building a structure from scratch, the character describes the kind of structure he or she wants to construct; then the GM
decides if the structure is simple, moderate, complex, or advanced in scope and difficulty.

Jewelry
You are trained in cutting gems and fashioning jewelry. When finding a gem, a jeweler can attempt to improve its cut, thereby
increasing its value.
However, failure has a chance of ruining the stone. The TN of the check is dependent on the initial value of the gem, as follows:

Anyone carrying grenades is asking for trouble, whether they have the Alchemy talent or not. All enemies
attacking such characters can perform the Kaboom! stunt.
SP Cost Stunt 3
Kaboom! Your attack detonates either a grenade held by your target or carried by your target. (Held
means prepared to throw; carried means stowed somewhere on their person.) If your target
has the Alchemy talent, their carried grenades may not be chosen. Held grenades must always be chosen
before carried grenades, if both are legal targets. If carried grenades are targeted and multiple grenades
are being carried, the GM randomly determines the exploding grenade among them. The detonated
grenade inflicts its full damage on your target and anyone else within 2 yards of him. Be aware that if you
inflict this stunt on a melee attack, you are within 2 yards of the exploding grenade, unless you also
Skirmish!

POTIONS
Antidote: Distilled from snake glands and powdered toads, Antidotes are administered to counter the effects
of ongoing poison. You can drink multiple antidotes for additional effect.

does not allow a test, it automatically reduces any one poison effect by two degrees (e.g. a debilitating -2
modifier to all action tests is reduced to 0).
Master: You may re-roll a failed CONSTITUTION test to resist a poison with a +4 bonus. If the poison does not
allow a test, it automatically reduces any one poison effect by three degrees (e.g. a debilitating -3 modifier to
all action tests is reduced to 0).

(Enchantement) apply.
Novice: The mage can create common magical items. At this level the mage can only create temporary
magical items. Creating a temporary magical item takes 1 day and 25sp.
Journeyman: At this level the mage can create. magical items of uncommon level. The mage can now make
permanent magical items. Creating a common permanent magical item costs 100sp and takes 1 day.
Creating an uncommon permanent costs 250sp and takes 1 week.
Master: At this level the mage can craft rare magical items. Creating a rare magical item costs 200gp and
takes 1 month. The mage cannot normally create legendary items. The mage may be able to create a
legendary item under specific circumstances with gm permission.

When wielding this weapon, you can perform the paralyze stunt for
Stunt Points. The target of your attack must make a successful
Constitution (Stamina) test or become paralyzed. A paralyzed
character cannot move at all for the rest of the encounter, loses
their Dexterity from Defense, and can take no actions, but is not
subject to a coup de grace unless otherwise unconscious or dying.
At the start of their turn on each subsequent round, the paralyzed
character can make another test to end the effect of the rune.

COMMUNICATION (DISGUISE)
Your Disguise check result determines how good the disguise is, and it is opposed by others Perception check results. If you dont
draw any attention to yourself, others do not get to make Perception checks. If you come to the attention of people who are
suspicious (such as a guard who is watching commoners walking through a city gate), it can be assumed that such observers are doing
an opposed Perception checks.
The effectiveness of your disguise depends in part on how much youre attempting to change your appearance. Creating a disguise
requires 1d3 10 minutes of work.

COMMUNICATION (PERFORMANCE)
You can impress audiences with your talent and skill in your chosen performance.
Retries are allowed, but they don't negate previous failures, and an audience that has been unimpressed in the past is likely to be
prejudiced against future performances. (Increase the TN by 2 for each previous failure.)

COMMUNICATION (GAMBLING)
Game Example :
Bounder is unique among gambling games in that both the players and dealer use dice.
The dealer gets 3d6, and each player gets 2d20.
To start, each player bets a stake (minimum 1 cp).
1. Each player rolls his first d20, making his point.
2. After all players have rolled their points, each player may double his stake if desired.
3. Then the dealer rolls 3d6. Anyone whose point the dealer matches loses his stake.
4. Then each player rolls his second d20.
If the players two dice results are on either side of the dealers resultone greater than
and one less than the dealers numberhe bounds the dealer and wins an amount
equal to the amount he bet. Otherwise, he loses his stake.
If a player rolls a 1 and a 20 (or a 20 and a 1), he wins double his bet.

DEXTERITY (LEGERDEMAIN)
Your training allows you to pick pockets, draw hidden weapons, and take a variety of actions without being noticed.
A TN 10 Dexterity (Legerdemain) check lets you palm a coin-sized, unattended object. Performing a minor feat of legerdemain, such
as making a coin disappear, also has a TN of 10 unless an observer is determined to note where the item went.
When you use this skill under close observation, your skill check is opposed by the observer's Perception check. The observer's
success doesn't prevent you from performing the action, just from doing it unnoticed.
If you try to take something from a creature, you must make a TN 13
Dexterity (Legerdemain) check. The opponent makes a Perception check to
detect the attempt, opposed by the Dexterity (Legerdemain) check result
you achieved when you tried to grab the item. An opponent who succeeds
on this check notices the attempt, regardless of whether you got the item.
You cannot use this skill to take an object from another creature during
combat if the creature is aware of your presence.
You can also use Dexterity (Legerdemain) to entertain an audience as
though you were using the Communication (Performance) skill. In such a
case, your act encompasses elements of legerdemain, juggling, and the
like.
Any Dexterity (Legerdemain) check is normally a minor action. However, you
may perform a Dexterity (Legerdemain) check as a free action by taking a -4
penalty to the attempt.

Hide item
You can hide a small object (including a light weapon or an easily concealed
ranged weapon, such as a dart, sling, or hand crossbow) on your body.
Your Dexterity (Legerdemain) check is opposed by the Perception check of
anyone observing you or of anyone frisking you. In the latter case, the searcher
gains a +2 bonus on the Perception check, since it's generally easier to find such
an object than to hide it.
Heavy or baggy clothing (such as a cloak) grants you a +2 bonus on the check.
Drawing a hidden weapon is a minor action.

PERCEPTION
Perception has a number of uses, the most common of which is an opposed check versus an opponent's Stealth check to notice
the opponent and avoid being surprised. If you are successful, you notice the opponent and can react accordingly. If you fail, your
opponent can take a variety of actions, including sneaking past you and attacking you.
Perception is also used to notice fine details in the environment. The TN to notice such details varies depending upon distance,
the environment, and how noticeable the detail is.
Passive Perception = 9 + Perception + Perception Focus

STRENGTH (JUMPING)
Jumping and Falling
You can use the Strength (Jumping) skill to make jumps. The base TN to make a jump is equal to the distance to be crossed (if
horizontal) or four times the height to be reached (if vertical). You cant exceed your speed with a jump check.
The only modifiers that apply are those concerning the surface you are jumping from.
If you fail this check by 4 or less, you can attempt a TN 13 Strength (Climb) to grab hold of the other side after having missed the
jump. If you fail by 5 or more, you fail to make the jump and fall (or land prone, in the case of a vertical jump).

Running Jump
For a running jump, half the result of your Strenth (Jumping) check indicates the distance traveled in the jump (and if the check fails, the
distance at which you actually land and fall prone). Halve this result for a standing long jump to determine where you land.

Long Jump
A long jump is a horizontal jump, made across a gap like a chasm or stream. At the
midpoint of the jump, you attain a vertical height equal to one-quarter of the
horizontal distance.
If your check succeeds, you land on your feet at the far end. If you fail the check by
less than 5, you dont clear the distance, but you can make a TN 13 Strength (Climb)
to grab the far edge of the gap. You end your movement grasping the far edge. If
that leaves you dangling over a chasm or gap, getting up requires a move action
and a TN 11 Strength (Climb) check.

High Jump
A high jump is a vertical leap made to reach a ledge high
above or to grasp something overhead.
1 foot
If you jumped up to grab something, a successful check
indicates that you reached the desired height. If you wish to
2 feet
pull yourself up, you can do so with a move action and a TN
13 Strenght (Climb) check. If you fail the check to jump, you
3 feet
do not reach the height, and you land on your feet in the
same spot from which you jumped.
4 feet
Obviously, the difficulty of reaching a given height varies
according to the size of the character or creature. The
maximum vertical reach (height the creature can reach
without jumping) for an average creature of a given size is
shown on the table below. (As a Medium creature, a
typical human can reach 8 feet without jumping.)
Quadrupedal creatures dont have the same vertical
reach as a bipedal creature; treat them as being one size
category smaller

> 4 feet

These TN has a +4 malus if you

do not have at least 8 yards of
space to get a running start.

Pole Vault
When carrying any long pole or staff, you can use it to augment the height of a jump. Make a running high jump as normal, but
make a second check at TN 13 to add the length of the pole to the total distance you jump. You may jump above the maximum
distance normally allowed by your height after applying this modifier. If you fail the check to use the pole, resolve your initial
jump check, but halve the height it would normally allow you to clear.

DEXTERITY (ACROBATICS)
Falling
When you deliberately fall any distance, even as a result of a missed jump, a TN 13 Dexterity (Acrobatics) check allows you to
ignore the first 4 yards fallen, or decrease the Hazard by 1 step, although you still end up prone if you take damage from a fall.

Hop Up
You can jump up onto an object as tall as your waist, such as a table or small boulder, with a TN 9 Dexterity (Acrobatics) check.
Doing so counts as 4 yards of movement, then hop up onto a counter.

STRENGTH (CLIMB)
Climbing is part of movement, so its generally part of a move action (and may be combined with other types of movement in a move action). Each
move action that includes any climbing requires a separate Climb check. Catching yourself or another falling character doesnt take an action.

Climb TN

With a successful Climb check, you can advance up,

down, or across a slope, wall, or other steep incline
(or even across a ceiling, provided it has handholds)
at one-quarter your normal speed.

Example Surface or Activity

A slope too steep to walk up, or a knotted rope with a wall to

brace against.

A rope with a wall to brace against, or a knotted rope, or a rope

affected by the rope trick spell.

A surface with ledges to hold on to and stand on, such as a very

rough wall or a ships rigging.

A Climb check that fails by 4 or less means that you

make no progress, and one that fails by 5 or more
means that you fall from whatever height you have
already attained.
The TN of the check depends on the conditions of
the climb. Compare the task with those on the
following table to determine an appropriate TN.

11

Any surface with adequate handholds and footholds (natural or

artificial), such as a very rough natural rock surface or a tree, or an
unknotted rope, or pulling yourself up when dangling by your
hands.

13

An uneven surface with some narrow handholds and footholds,

such as a typical wall in a dungeon.

You need both hands free to climb, but you may

cling to a wall with one hand while you cast a spell
or take some other action that requires only one
hand.
While climbing, you cant move to avoid a blow, so
you lose your Dexterity bonus to AC (if any). You
also cant use a shield while climbing.

14

A typical buildings upper-story wall

15

A typical buildings lower-story wall

17

A rough surface, such as a natural rock wall or a brick wall.

19

An overhang or ceiling with handholds but no footholds, or a

typical city wall

21

A perfectly smooth, flat, vertical (or inverted) surface cannot be

climbed.

A slope is considered to be any incline at an angle

measuring less than 60 degrees; a wall is any incline
at an angle measuring 60 degrees or more.

Anytime you take damage while climbing, make a

Climb check against the TN of the slope or wall.
Failure means you fall from your current height and
sustain the appropriate falling damage.

TN Modifier* Example Surface or Activity

Rope You can use a rope to haul a character upward

(or lower a character) through sheer strength. You
can lift double your maximum load in this manner.

Make Your Own Handholds and Footholds

You can make your own handholds and footholds by
pounding pitons into a wall. Doing so takes 1 minute
per piton, and one piton is needed per 2 yards of
distance. In the same way, a climber with a handaxe
or similar implement can cut handholds in an ice
wall.

-4

Climbing a chimney (artificial or natural) or other location where

you can brace against two opposite walls.

Climbing a corner where you can brace against perpendicular

walls.

+2

Surface is slippery.

+4

Accelerated climbing (half speed)

+6

Accelerated climbing (full speed)

+2

One needed hand not free (e.g., holding lamp)

+6

Both hands carrying objects

These modifiers are cumulative; use all that apply

Catch a Falling Character While Climbing

Catch Yourself When Falling

If someone climbing above you or adjacent to you falls, you can attempt to catch the falling
character if he or she is within your reach. Doing so requires a successful melee attack against
the falling character (though he or she can voluntarily forgo any Dexterity bonus to Defense if
desired). If you hit, you must immediately attempt a Strength (Climb) check (TN = walls DC + 5).
Success indicates that you catch the falling character, but his total weight, including equipment,
cannot exceed your heavy load limit or you automatically fall. If you fail your Strength (Climb)
check by 4 or less, you fail to stop the characters fall but dont lose your grip on the wall. If you
fail by 5 or more, you fail to stop the characters fall and begin falling as well.

Its practically impossible to catch

yourself on a wall while falling. Make a
Strenght (Climb) check (TN = walls TN +
8) to do so. Its much easier to catch
yourself on a slope (TN = slopes TN + 4).

CONSTITUTION (SWIMMING)
You know how to swim and can do so even in stormy water. Make a Swim check once per round while you are in the water.
Success means you may swim at up to half your speed (as a major action) or at a quarter of your speed (as a minor action).
If you fail by 4 or less, you make no progress. If you fail by 5 or more, you go underwater. If you are underwater, either
because you failed a Swim check or because you are swimming underwater intentionally, you must hold your breath
You can hold your breath for a number of rounds equal to twice your
Constitution score, but only if you do nothing other than moving or doing free
actions. If you take a major action, such as making an attack, the remainder of
the duration for which you can hold your breath is reduced by 1 round. After
that period of time, you must make a TN 10 Constitution check every round to
continue holding your breath. Each round, the DC for that check increases by 1.
If you fail the Constitution check, you begin to drown.
The TN for the Swim check depends on the water. Each hour that you swim, you
must make a TN 15 Strength (Swim) check or take 1d6 points of damage
from fatigue.
