Fantasy fans and gamers in general were enthralled at the possbilitcs Most of them became hooked on the game, due to its unusual and imaginative nature, You could actually do unusual things: slay dragons, rescue the downtrodden, and just grab loot When our group rst started playing the game, our overall reaction vas that it had great ideas, “but ‘maybe we should change the combat system, clarify the magic, and redo the monsters”. Warlock isnot intended to replace D&D,and, indeed, ‘would not exist without that classic game, What we have teed to do is to Present a way of expanding D&D without the contradictions and Topholes inherent in the original rules and the various supplements. By patting together one set of rule changes and interpretations and playing by them for three years, we have developed something that works protty wll, We spont a considerable amount of time working out a solid combat system, a coherent magic system, and a more flexible way of handling monsters as monsters, eather than as men drewed up in gorilla suits, We have been (rightly) accused ‘of making D&D into a different game altogether, but we think it if an enjoyable ‘one, and hope you do, 3s vel. We recommend that you have ‘access to a Dungeons and Dragons set, preferably a copy of the original version, plus any supplements you enjoyed. We lack the space to go into the detail supplied by the D&D rules 2 fn some areas, such as: magic items and the basié monsters, a5 well how to design a dungeon or other tame location. We will be going into Some of this in, a separate book for referees, but not here. What You Need To Play Other than this book, you need mainly the thing that you would teed to play regular D&D: someone with a lot of patience who has Stars taste crea eae dice, mainly at least one 20sided die and’ several 6-tded dice. In these rules, whenever ‘dice’ are sefered to, it means Gsided dice unless it states otherwise Other things that are useful for the players to have are papers and pencils, for mapping and keeping track ‘of casualties, treasure, and anything ese. Our ‘group also uses miniature figures representing. the character in the game, allowing them to. be physically positioned on a tabletop or other surface s0 that you can see what is happening. It is posable to spend slot of money Playing the game, but not at all necessary. Let your budget be your side, Terns To Understand Payer Character: This is, what represents you in the game. They are the equivalent of ‘playing pieces in most ganes and much more. Your characters will take on pecsonalities of their own if you let them, and provide you with much enjoyinent. ‘They are the adventurers, the people who setually do things in the world ‘of your referee, but are controlled by players. We suggest you have only a small number of player characters per player. In our games we allow any player to iavolve any 2 of ‘his characters in. any one adventure of expedition. Whether these player characters are fighters o¢ elves, lerica for dwarves, remember that, a thele ‘own woild they are people, and treat them accordingly. Gharscteriais: There are eight things that re determined for each character at his of her creation: Strength, Intelligence, Wisdom, Constitution, Dexterity, Agility, Charisma, and Size, These are called ‘characteristics. See the rules on “Creating Payer Characters’ for more. Prime Requisite: This isthe characteristic or characteristics which is the most important to the type of character that an individual is. For ‘example, the ‘prime requisite’ of Fighter is Strength. How high or low this prime requisite is helps. to determine how goad a characteris st hhs or hor chosen specialty: fighting, sag using, ete Characters Each player i repreented in the game by one or more player Characters which he must ceale and tzinan, I one or more of player's Characters ave Kile er otherwise tiiminated from play, « player mst tither: 1) find a way to recover the ‘ld character, by" magical or other means explained ater ot 2) create ‘new characters to replace the old. The following types of player characters are what we recommend you ws in your panes es normal Sharactre: Fighters: Fighters are tough, strong ‘men or women who speciilize in ‘combat and cannot use any magical fr clerical spells by themselves. They ‘can use any weapon of a normal or ‘magical nature unless noted ‘otherwise, Fighters tend to be much hharder to Kill than other types, too, since the number of hit points they cean take increases more rapidly than for any other character type. Fighters may wear any armor that is their ‘own size, although heavy armor may ‘hamper their fighting, as explained later. The prime requisite of a fighter is Strength. Clerics: Clerics are religious men or ‘women who are able to call upon their deity or gods for help in the form of clercal spall. They may use fewer magical items than can magic users, and fewer weapons than fighters, but have certain special ‘tems of their own, Clerics may wear ‘ny armor that they find comfortable and convenient, but may only we weapons that are not designed to shed blood (fists, quarterstaves, ‘maces, and so on), and thus may not use swords or arrows. Clerics may use certain special consecrated items that enhance their own abilities, such a8 clerical staves. The prime requisite of 4 cletic is Wisdom. A character must hhave Wisdom of 9 or greater to be a led. Magic Users: These are men who have studied magic and are able to throw spells. They may ux any magicalftem not specifically forbidden to them (such as armor and most weapons), and may arm themselves only with daggers or magical swords for staves. ‘Magic users may carly non-magieal staves as tools or 10 defend themselves by parrying (explained in Combat rules), but may ot us a nonmogical staff as weapon for attack. A normal magic user Is not permitted armor of any kind, or shields, As magic users progress ia levels and gain experience they ae able to Jeam more and higher evel spells and gain greater ability to use the spells. The prime requisite of a magic user is intelligence. A character must have Intelligence of 9 or greater to be a magic use Miusionists: Ullusionists are 2 special class of magic users who study and use the art of illusion. They have the ‘same basic restrictions as magic users, ‘but use a somewhat different mbcture ‘of magical spells. The prime requisite of an illusionist is intelligence. A charactor must have Intelligence of 15 or greater and both Wisdom and Dexterity of at 13 or grater to be on ‘lusionist. Dwarves: Dwarves tend to tobe smalier ‘than men, but they maie up for their size by being particulary resistant to fatigue and magic (these differences fare noted in the appropriate sections of the rules). In most other respects they are much like fighters, except for the following: 1) they are the ‘only characters able to fully employ the more powerful dvvarfmade wetponts 2) thay ate ore likely to fn ting passages, traps, shifting walls, and new construction in underground settings; 3) they are much more likely than other characters to know their way around underground settings without getting lest oF not noticing how deep they are; 4) they are able to judge the value of gems and jewelry without extensive testing, The prime requisite of a dwarf is the average of his strength and constitution. A character ‘ust have Strength of 15 or greater ‘and Constitution of 15 or gredter to ea dwarf, Hives: Elves have the ability to use ‘weapons as fighters do, but they are also able to use magical spelis. In fact, elves can do everything that magic users and Qghters can do. (Whenever there is a conflict between what the two types can do in the rules, clves gain the benefit of whichever is to their advantage overall). They have the disadvantage that they do not go up in levels as Quickly as humans do. Elves ate also more likely to find hidden doors and other objects than are most other characters. They are very g00d at earning languages. ‘The prime requisites of an elf are strength and Intelligence, whichever isthe lower. A character must have Strength of 9 or greater, Intelligence of 9 or greater, a sum of Strength + Latelligence of 25 for greater, and Dextesity of 11 or greater to be an elf. Halfings: Halfings tend to be only about one-half the size ofthe average ‘man in height, but for thee size they awe the toughest characters inthe ame (dwarves being somewhat large). They have the same basic limitations as fighters in what they may wear ad use, Common sense should. be used when there i any doubt (for example, a halfling does fot use a longbow effectively, and should not be allowed to). A halfling is at his best while outdoors or in places similar to their own homes, forests and glades. The prime requisite of a halfling i cithor ‘constitution or doxtarity, whichever is lower. A character” must have Constitution of 15. or mor, Dexterity of 15 or mor, and Agility of 9 or more to be a hulfing. A halfling gains special abilities similar to those of a thief as he goes up level (se Thief rules for details). ‘Thieves: Thieves are men who have perfected the arts of stealth, agility and lock picking to a fino degree. They are able to gat into places where other characters would find it difficult or dangerous to go. In order ‘to use thelr abilities, however, thieves must wear mo” armor’ more encumbering than leather (with a shield if they so desire). ‘The prime requisites of a thief are dexterity and aglity, with experience bonuses etermined by the lower of the two. ‘A thief gains abilities as he increases in levels (see Thief section later in the mules). A character must have ‘Dexterity of 9 or greater, Agility of 9 fr greater, and sum of Dexterity + Agility of 25 or gretter in order to bea thief, Rangecs: This is a character class loosely based on the wandering loner characters in fantasy. This character class is primarily a fighting one, but who can gin enough knowledge to ‘make use of alittle magic eventually, and enough respect for the ruling deities that they can gain a litte clerical ability eventually. They ate Detter than average fighters, and have the same restrictions at fighters, with the exception that rangers who are 8th level or lower may not own any property, magical of not, that is not portable enough 10 be carried slong with the ranger ow one horse, There is 2 special section of rules for angers later. The prime requisite of a ranger is strength. A character must have Strength of 17 or more, Constitution of 15 of more, and Inteligence and Wisdom both of 13 for moe in order to be a ranger. Paladins: This is a character class loosely based on the idea of the Chivaitic Knight from the legends of King Arthur and others. They are fighters with a few of the abilities of 1 cleric, and the ability 10 use clerical Implements and. swords which have been consecrated to their own faith. ‘A paladin must adhere completely to the rules of his faith, or lose all special abilities, and become a normal fighter. (See Paladin Rules). The prime | requisite of a paladin is Strength. A character must have Strengih of 13 or more, Wisdom of 13 or more, and Charisma of 17 or ‘more to be 3 paladin. ‘Combination Characters: It is possible for a character to be more than one type of character. Ifa character has © score of 17 or better in tho prime requisites of two or even three of the character types that can combine ighter, cleric, magic user, or thief, then be can become « dual or triple character type. A. character with scores of 17 or better in both strength and inteligence could become a magicalighter, a an ‘example. As such, he would gin the abilities of both types, like an olf, ‘but would advance on a. different experience table for his type (220 Exporiones tables for examples of Combination advancement). The prime requisite of a combination ‘Gharacter is the lowest of the types. 3which are combined. Dwarves and elves may only be combination-thieves. An elf may be a combination elvishthief if he has Strength of 15 or more, Intelligence of 15 or more, Dexterity of 15 of ‘more and Agility of 15 or more. A dwarf may be a combination dwarvish-thief if he has Strength, Constitution, Dexterity and Agility all of 15 or more. These types also have special Advancement tables. Experience Points At the end of an expedition, all surviving members of the party receive experience points, as dimined by the referee. The basic ‘experience is determined by the ‘monsters and men defeated by the party, as well as any treasures obiained in 30 doing. ‘These are modified by the level and experience ‘bonuses of the characters in the party. ‘Experience points are totaled up and divided evenly between surviving members of the party. It the monsters were of lower level than ane or more members of che party. the party ets less experience for those monsters (and any treasure guarded by them) at a rate based on the ratio. of monster level 10 character level, For example, 2 12th level cleric i in a party which defeats a fifth level monster with treasure, The. party only pets 5/12 of the posible experience for this monster nd toes. In addition, a characteris limited to going up one experience level per expedition. If, for example, a character were the sole surdvor of an expedition and lugged out three million gold pieces worth of jewelry, obtained. by sneaking out while the rest of the party was being eaten, this would not be sufficient to rae the character_many, many levels, Even ‘obtained in a. more noble. fsshion than in the example, a character ‘pint’ at the top of the next level above the one at which he began the expedition. In other words, a third level fighter could gain (on one expedition) only enough points to take him to one point short of fifth level; in other words, he ‘pins’ at the top of fourth. Experience points are eamed for obtaining treasure es follows: for every 1 gold plece of value of 4 treasure a party brings out of an adventure, they eam % of an ‘experiance point, adjusted according to the level of the highest character and the treasure's guardian. Experience points for monsters, to be divided between the members of the arty as was the gold, is as follows: Monster Level Points 1 50. 2 100 3 400 4 900. 5 1600 6 2500 7 3600 8 4900 9 6400 10 8100 u 10,000 2 12,100 B 14,400 “4 16,900 15 19,600 16 22,500 17 25,600 18 28,900 19 32,400 20 36,100 21 40,000 ‘add 4000 for each additional level. Please note that, while monsters are evaluated by hit dice under most ‘conditions, mage users and other types able to use magical spells should be credited at their experience ‘or magic level if it is higher than their hit dice. Thus a 6th level magic user would be worth 2500 EP for his level rather than 900 EP for his (3 dice +2) dice level. Special cases: if a ereature takes n dice +2 or more hits, its experience Jevel should normally be considered level (ntl). Also, if a creature is taken while asleep or otherwise tunable to fight back, the referee should reduce its” value for experience. The referee's decision of what credit to give for defeating, a creature is final, except in case of ‘obvious errors of arithmetic. Experience Levels The following is an explanation of the things found in the Advancement Tables for the different character types, first the things found in all types, then the specific types. LEVEL is the Experience Level of the character. All player characters start out as Level 1 charseters. HIT DICE are the number of cumulative sided dice rolled 10 determine how many hit points of damage 2 character can take before falling unconscious. If the number in this column is X+1 or X42, otc, it means that 1, 2, or the appropriate ‘number is added to the socal number ‘led om all th ‘den, not to each ‘The hits at any level are used to compute those at the next level; the dice are not rerolled. In other words 2nd level fighter who takes 7 hits reaches 3rd level. On his new Hit Die he rolls a 4, Adding this to the previous 7 he now has 11 hit points (which may be modified by an ‘extremely high or low Constitution. See ‘Bonuses and Penalties Due to Characteristies)sIn some cases, a character must go fiom, say, 2 dice 42, to 3 dice. This is done by rolling 4 dic and subtracting 2, adding any result greater than zero to the previous hits A character can never take fewer hits at a higher level than he took at a lower one ‘At anytime, a character has maigin between his Hit Points and the point at which he dics from . This margin is equal to (Constitution X 03 X Hit Points) Thus a character who has Constitution 10 and takes 10. Hit Points has a margin of 10 X .03 X 10 = 3 points, This character would become usiconscious after receiving 10 points of damage in combat or from magic, and would die upon receiving 13 points of damage. While unconscious but not deed, a character deteriorates toward death unless healed, as follows: the deterioration fs 1 point per tum, plus 1/6 chance (rolled) of a further 1 point of detericration for each point beyond his Hit Points that a character has ‘taken. For example, in the case above fof the 10 Hit Point character who dies at 13 points, suppose he has taken 1 hits. If not healed, by clerical or magical means, he’ will deteriorate 1. point (to 12 hits) and have a 1/6 chance of dying outright by deteriorating one mote hit (10 13, hits) afer 1 tum of lying unaided. EXPERIENCE POINTS (Exp. Pts) ‘means that this is the number of total experience points needed for a character of that type to be the level fon that line, For example, a Cleric with 3000 Experience Points would bbe 3rd level, while an ELF with 3000would only be 2nd. SPELLS AND LEVELS refers to the number and level of spells known (inthe case of a magic wer) oF Usible (In the case of a ltl). The number above each column is the spell tovel (indicating the’ relative difficulty of the spel). The mumbers inthe columns opposite each character level indicate the number of ach level that can be learned (by 2 ‘magic user) or used during a game ay (by a ceri). ‘ABILITIES AND LEVELS for thief areas above, explained in the Thiet roles. ‘Time and Movement It fe suggested that you use the following set of scales of time and movement for maximum enjoyment of the game: One real day (noon to noon) = fone Game Week. This allows you to play more than one expedition or adventure ina seal day and also allows expeditions that take more than one day of the characters’ time without having to come bsck the next real day to continue. ‘One real inch = 6 game feet (or 2 meters). This allows you to use ‘miniature figures (either the Airfix plastic ones or tho many lead ones) to set up the physical positions of characters, 30 that the players and referee can see what is going on, and visualize the action. When inches are referred to in these rules, they ae meant to be these 6foot inches na dungeon or other similar situation, 2 Tum =} minute of game time, This length of tum is used for movernent, magic, and any other case whore « game ‘tum’ is referred to unlss it states otherwise, Each game turn consists of she ‘phases’ of ten seconds each. Each phase is broken dowm into three basie parts: Movement; Magic & Archery: Melee. It is not necessary to keep ‘track of or operate in phases except ‘when encounters of combat occurs, rather than just walking around. The parts take place in the above order uring any individual phase. First, all characters In the situation move to ‘any new positions, as allowed by the rforee. Then, any magical spells are thrown and any archery fired. (This step includes the use of any magical {implements other than weapons ot armor, ia. most cases.) Final comes melee, with hand=to-hand combat being resolved. While seeming complex, after the first couple of times this system is used, the order will become familiar and cary to remember. Since the precise order in which spells and archery me fired often rakes a difference in a battle, we have introduced a system which gives those with a higher dexterity = chance to fire frst, without making the slower ones always lose. This the Dexterity Count system. ‘On any given phase of actions, the referee. asks the players whet action ‘each character is taking and lso determines the actions of | the ‘monsters, If either or both are firing magic or archery. the referee checks to determine who is going to fire fir. This is done by having each character or monster roll two six-sided dice, and adding the results to their current dexterity (whether natural or magically enhanced), That is when that character or being wil start to fire. In the case of a bow, ‘hat is when the arrow leaves the Dowstring In the case of apie user ‘or cleric casting a spell, tis when the spell starts to be cast. This is also the case for magical imploments being fireds rings, wands or whatever. Since it takes time for a spell to be east, arrows are often in flight before ‘mage. The precise amount of delay is a follows: Each Dexterity Count is smal fraction of 2 second (call it 1/10th for convenience). It takes 1 Dexterity Count for an arrow or quarrel to travel 3" in scale. A magical spell takes 1 Dexterity Count for every ‘Spell Point the spell costs the caster 40 go off. A clerical spell takes 1 Dexterity Count for each level of the spell (i2., a Second Level spell takes 2 Counts} to go off. A magical wand or staff takes only the time used up by the Activation spell (unually I or 2) to go off, Most other magic items fre fired st a rate of 1 Dexterity Count per level of the spell being fired by the item, Specific ‘spell storing’ items go off as if they were firing a memorized spell. Thus we have a magic user with Dexieity of 13 He wants to fie a ‘Sleep spell, which cosis him 3 Spell Poiats, He’ rolls a 7 on his two dice. ‘Thus, the spell actually goes olf at Dexterity Count 17 (13 47 — 3), and that is when his targets need 10 ‘make theit Saving Throws agninst being put to sleep Suppose one Of his targets was a goblin with @ bow 9” away fom the magic wet. The goblin ims a Dexterity of only &, Howover, upon secing a magic user pointing a finger in his diection, he rolls « 10 on hit two sixsided dice to determine when he fires, Thus, he fires his arow st Dexterity Count 18 one count fier én the ‘mayic user, The arrow however, takes 3 Counts to reach the magic ver, 20 that the spell takes effect while the arrow til in fight Remember, the higher the Dexterity Count number, the sooner the firing For simplicity, assume that the mele part of each phate starts at around Dexterity Count 0 so thet what you have i a sort of a countdown. ‘The speed of movement of a character” is determined by. the fanying capacity of the character Getormizedin Step 6 of charactor creation) compared with their current Joad. If they are caving more than thelr capacity, they simply cannot move. If they are carrying less than that maximus, but moxe than 1/2, they cam move at 3” per tur or less From 1/3 to 1/2 capacity, they can ‘move at up to 6” per tum. From 1/4 ‘to 1/3 capacity, they can move up to 9M por tum. From more than 1/6 10 ‘not more than 1/4 capacity, they can rove up to 12” per tum. 1/8 to 1/6 ‘capacity allows 15” of movement. 1/12 to 1/8 of capacity allows 18” of movement. Carrying some items but Jess than 1/12 of the maximum capacity permils 20” pee tum movement. Carrying — nothing whatsoever allows normal character {o travel at 24° pee tur. These speeds are all subject to the smaximum speed attainable by man oF beast of the type in question. A being that is gen a fixed maximum speed does not automatically exesed that just because st in't carying anything. Mules and other pock animals trained for carying can get their maximum speed with a load n0 sremer than that listed on the Weight ad Cost ube. The normal speeds are just that, and ae used ‘when walking. In combat, or in other stuations where feed. s.important, creatures. that veal or swim travel at their normal speed, but per phase instead of per tur, ‘Thus, running or swimming 5quickly is 6 times as fast 2s normal movement, Flying creatures are somewhat different. Flying creatures ‘move at their listed movement per ‘Phase normally, and move a twice that speed when hurrying or diving. soooooq0s000R00000000 FIGHTER Level Hit Dice Exp.
