Fighter

-
A knight hammers into his opponent’s chain, knocking him to the ground. The weight of his boot on the adversary’s chest steadies him for the killing blow.

A duelist flits his sword with grace, placing it firmly into the eye of his final rival. The rival is dead; the king pleased.

Fighters are remarkably tough, proficient in combat, and they are skilled at leading, improving, and protecting their team in tactical scenarios.

Overview

Prime Requisite: STR or DEX (choose at character creation or flip a coin)
Minor Abilities: Toughness, Shields Shall Be Splintered, Leverage, Tactical Prowess
Special Ability: Deeds

Toughness

Increase your character’s Wound limit by 1.

Shields Shall Be Splintered

If holding a shield, you may negate all effects of one attack made against you at the cost of destroying the shield.

Leverage

Whenever you hit with an attack, you may make another attack without using one of your actions. However, you can only make the same attack twice.

If you have made the same attack twice, you must draw another weapon, grapple your opponent, move on to a new target, etc. to maintain your Leverage. Get creative!

Tactical Prowess

You may spend a Grit point to transfer any number of your remaining Grit points to an ally.
In game, this is the instruction or inspiration you are giving your ally.

Deeds

Ancient heroes are remembered by their epic feats of strength and courage. The deeds they performed to protect the innocent, vanquish evil, take their revenge, or strike terror in the hearts of many are what cemented them in the storybook of history.

Through your character’s mighty Deeds, they too can be remembered eternally.

A Deed can be anything you and the Referee can agree on. This is your opportunity to be creative!
Do you want to climb up the neck of a Dragon to attack it up close? Roll Deeds. Do you want to swing on the chandelier and kick your enemies off the banquet table one by one? Roll Deeds. Do you want to pry the bars of a portcullis up with only your brute strength and determination? Roll deeds.

Deeds are resolved by rolling a pool of d6, Deed Dice. The size of your dice pool is determined by your Special Limit, and to succeed on any given Deed, you must roll 2 successes.

Normally, a success on a d6 is a 4, 5, or 6. However, if the Referee grants you advantage, success is a 3, 4, 5, or 6. If you have disadvantage, success is a 5 or 6. Of course, the larger your pool, the more likely you are to roll two successes.

Every time you fail a Deed, your dice pool decreases by 1 for the day. The next day, all your Deed dice are restored. When you only have two Deed dice left, you do not lose them by failing Deeds.

Monster Monday #1

-
Every Monday, I will post a conception or concoction of some monster in my Arthurian setting. Today, I tell you of the Goblin. Lore A man who refuses to give his life for an innocent lady is cursed by God, and thus, his offspring will be wrinkled distortions of humanity. And never again will he enjoy his wife’s bounty, for upon conception, the goblin begins its parasitic connection, snuffing out the mother as soon as it is removed from her – by birth or otherwise. The birth of a goblin is rare, but it is horrific enough to ruin even a lord. The earth is not wanting for them either, as in days past before the Unification, men were blind to their cowardice, and the birth of goblins was a common occurrence for which the deceased wives were often refused burial, spawning specters of true horror. These numerous goblins from the past have made unholy unions among themselves to propagate their kind, and today they plague the caves, woods, bogs, and wastes of Britain. They grow

A Terrain Generator for Hex-Based Maps

Terrain Generation for Hex Maps This terrain generation system is designed to create normally distributed terrain with realistic transitions in a simple and efficient way. Its product is one that can be easily adapted by the game’s referee to fit any preconceived ideas they may have about their terrain, as well as suggesting prominent terrain features and locations. One can expect to generate 30 hexes per minute. Generating Hexes To generate a hex, roll 3d6 on the Terrain Generation Table.  Whenever you generate terrain for a hex, add a modifier based on the hexes that surround it. Sum the modifier of each surrounding hex to determine the total modifier. For example. If a hex was surrounded by Mountains, Mountains, Plains, Marsh, and two empty hexes, you would only +3 once for the Mountains, +1 for the Plains, and -2 for the Marsh, giving you a total modifier of +2. Procedure To begin, roll 3d6 on the Terrain Generation Table to randomly det

Magic-User

-
A Witch draws a circle with salt and quicksilver. It is midnight as she gazes into her obsidian mirror. King Paimon’s face appears, whispering secrets. A Sorcerer, through complex gesticulation and utterance, manipulates the protean chaos of the universe, gathering and concentrating fire in his hands to hurl at his enemies. Magic-Users manipulate reality in many different ways. They use different techniques, practice different rituals, and cast different spells, but they all share this: they use the power of their mind to conform the world to themselves, not themselves to the world. Overview Prime Requisite: INT/WIS Minor Abilities: Magical Resistance Special Ability: Spellcasting Magical Resistance Due to your many exposures to magical energy, you have advantage on checks to avoid magical effects like being charmed, dominated, lulled, etc. This does not apply to damage from magical sources. Spellcasting To cast a spell, declare the spell, declare its pow
