title: Chamber of Lightning Bolts

section: magic items

A small cube (1" per side) of smooth, black stone which has been carved with runes before being hollowed out and having one face of the cube removed (so it looks like an open box). The inside of the cube is lined with mirrors. As long as there is at least one charge remaining, a tiny ball of blue-white lightning appears to float in the middle of the box, but it cannot be touched.
**Activation**: When the command word is spoken, a lightning bolt leaps from it, landing at a point up to 180' distant, and continuing in a 5'-wide path for up to 60'.
**Creatures caught in the lightning bolt**: Suffer 6d6 damage, with a successful save versus wands indicating half damage.
**Bouncing**: If the lightning bolt hits a solid barrier before its full length is reached, it is reflected and travels for any remaining distance of its full length in the direction of the wielder of the wand.
**Usage die**: Starts as a d10. After each use, roll the current die, and on a 1-2, the die drops one step (d10 -> d8 -> d6 -> d4 -> 1). After it drops to one, the next use finishes it off, and the cube becomes inert.

A dagger with tiny, blood red veins on its blackened-metal blade and an ornately-carved blackened-bone handle.
_Azir claims that the dagger is actually a demon named Darklurker. According to him, it needs to be fed a blood sacrifice every day (3 phases), and can become "quite persistent" when it gets hungry. Apparently, it has a preference for the blood of lawful creatures._
**Bonus**: Grants +2 to attack and damage rolls (1d4+2), and an additional +2 to attack and damage rolls against a lawful target.

# The Planar Vagabond's Dungeon Adventure Game
Designed to emulate the fun and fantasy of the earliest versions of the world's most famous roleplaying system, without getting bogged down by an excess of rules.
These rules are still a Work-in-Progress. If there's some rule or feature you need that isn't here yet (ex: spells), you can use the equivalent rule from [OSE](https://oldschoolessentials.necroticgnome.com/srd/index.php).s
## How to Play
There is one _referee_. Everyone else is a _player_.
The referee's job is to describe what's happening in the game, and the players describe how their characters respond.
Sometimes, dice are rolled. These dice are described by how many sides they have (d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, d20, and d100).
## Doing Things
Simple tasks are assumed to succeed. If the task is dangerous or complicated, roll the dice for a _check_.
For most checks, roll a 20-sided die (d20) under a character's most relevant _ability_ score.
For hard (or very hard) tasks, you can subtract 1 (or 2) from the ability before the roll.
## Abilities
Each player character (_PC_) has 6 abilities that help to define how they can interact with the world.
**Strength (STR)** - Raw physical power, affects melee damage and carrying capacity.
**Dexterity (DEX)** - Speed and agility of movement, affects _armor class (AC)_ when under attack.
**Constitution (CON)** - Mettle and gumption, affects _hit points (HP)_ gained at each level.
**Intelligence (INT)** - Knowledge and reasoning, affects languages known and arcane magic.
**Wisdom (WIS)** - Experience and insight, affects divine magic.
**Charisma (CHA)** - Appearance and social capability, affects hirelings and pact magic.
## Saving Throws
When something (bad) happens to a character or monster, they can usually make a saving throw to avoid some (or all) of it.
To make one, roll 1d20 and consult the appropriate table (with higher results doing better).
**Death** - Poison, death ray, bleeding out.
**Aimed** - Wands and other aimed items.
**Restrain** - Paralysis, petrification, being buried alive.
**Blasts** - Breath weapons and other area effects.
**Spells** - General magic, including from rods and staves.
## Alignment
Cosmic principles that represent broad world views
**Law** - Order, truth, and justice. Typically prosocial.
**Chaos** - Anarchy, power, and chance. Typically pro-individual.
**Neutrality** - Balance, mediation, and detachment.
## Character Creation
1. Roll Abilities
- Roll 4d6 and drop the lowest die (aka "4d6DL") for each.
- Either roll 4d6DL once for each ability in order and see what kind of character comes up, or make all 6 rolls and assign the results to fit a particular class and/or race.
2. Choose a Class
3. Determine Starting Level - If playing a legacy character, update starting XP appropriately
4. Roll Starting Hit Points - Type is determined by class, number is determined by level.
- Re-roll any 1s or 2s
5. Choose Alignment
6. Note Starting Languages
7. Buy Equipment
8. Determine attacks and AC.
## Combat
Adventurers tend to die easily, so most combat should be avoided unless the adventurers have a clear advantage.
That having been said, fights do occur, and when they do, the following steps are performed:
1. **Stealth Check** - Each side that's being relatively stealthy (quiet, douses torches, etc.) has a base 1-in-6 (1 on 1d6) chance of not being spotted.
- The side with stealth gets a free attack (or can pass unnoticed), and if both sides have stealth, they miss each other.
2. **Declare Spells, Defending, and Retreats** - Players declare if they will _cast a spell_, _defend_, or _retreat_ this round (and which type of retreat).
3. **Roll Initiative** - Each side that can attack rolls 1d20, highest roll attacks first.
4. **Winning Side Goes** - Each character or monster gets a move and an action, with either one occurring first.
- **Morale Check** - Monsters who've been severely wounded or seen their leaders killed may flee. Roll 2d6 under morale score or the monsters surrender / flee.
- **Move** - Move up to full speed
- If prone, 1/2 movement to stand up.
- If adjacent to an enemy at the start of the move, make a defensive retreat or they get a free attack.
- **Action** - Do something, like _attack_, _defend_, _cast a spell_, or stowe an item.
- Spellcasters can't move after casting a spell.
5. **Change Sides** - opposing side becomes active.
6. **Slow Weapons** - Resolve any slow weapons or end-of-round abilities.
7. **Repeat** - Return to step 2 and repeat until only one side remains.
### Readying Weapons
- Available weapons may be readied for free while moving (if hands are empty or currently held items are dropped).
- Stowing held weapons takes a full action.
### Attacking
Roll 1d20 plus any appropriate modifiers. If it equals or beats the target's AC, roll for damage (again including any appropriate modifiers).
**From Behind** - +2 bonus to hit
**Mounted** - +1 bonus to hit most foes on foot.
**AC** - Character AC is usually determined by type of armor worn.
- **Shields** grant +1 AC when used.
- Can be destroyed to prevent a hit from inflicting damage
#### Melee Attacks
Melee attack rolls are modified based on the character's Strength.
| STR | Mod |
| :---: | :-: |
| 3 | -3 |
| 4-5 | -2 |
| 6-8 | -1 |
| 9-12 | +0 |
| 13-15 | +1 |
| 16-17 | +2 |
| 18+ | +3 |
Melee attacks are usually limited to 5' range.
Characters in melee combat with each other or other monsters are said to be **engaged**.
**Dual Wielding** - PCs with DEX 13+ can dual wield.
- If using 2 Light weapons, can make an attack with each one.
- If using a one-handed weapon and a Light weapon, get +1 on the attack and damage rolls.
#### Missile Attacks
Missile attack rolls are modified based on the character's Dexterity.
| DEX | Mod |
| :---: | :-: |
| 3 | -3 |
| 4-5 | -2 |
| 6-8 | -1 |
| 9-12 | +0 |
| 13-15 | +1 |
| 16-17 | +2 |
| 18+ | +3 |
The range of missile attacks are usually determined by the type of missile used.
#### Critical Hits
A natural 20 is a critical hit. Roll 1d20 on the Critical Hit Table to see what additional effect occurs.

[^5]: **Target Amputation** - Target loses an appendage.
[^6]: **Target Stunned** - Blow stuns target for 1d6 rounds
#### Fumbles

| 1d20 | Effect |
| :--: | :----------------------------------------------------: |
| 1 | Stumble, weapon breaks |

[^1]: **Automatic Hits** - Roll 1d20 to check for critical, but ignore further fumbles.
### Defending
Spend a round fighting defensively (parrying, blocking, dodging, feinting, etc.). Gets +2 AC. Can be used with **Fighting Retreat**.
### Movement
Most characters can move 40' in a combat round, unless another rule says otherwise.
**When Engaged** - Can't move away from foe without retreating.
**When Prone** - Use 1/2 movement to stand up.
### Retreating
Engaged characters that wish to move away can either make a fighting retreat, or a full retreat.
- **Fighting Retreat** - Can move backwards at 1/2 their normal movement rate while still taking an attack action.
- **Full Retreat** - Turning and fleeing from combat at their full movement rate, can be attacked at +2 bonus.
## Health, Damage and Dying
Starting HP is based class and/or race. When damage is taken, HP is lost.
Monsters and NPCs die at 0 HP (usually).
PCs at 0 HP (or lower) make a **Saving Throw vs Death** each round of combat.
- On success, stabilize at 1 HP (no need to continue saving vs death), but can't fight and can only move 1/2 speed until treated or healed.
- On fail, lose 1 HP to blood loss and try again next round.
At -(level) HP (or lower), save or die.
After each long rest (8+ hours of sleep), regain 1 _hit die (HD)_ worth of HP.
Once per day, during a short rest (10 minutes+), eat a ration to regain 1 HD worth of HP.
## Knowledge & Languages
**Identifying (Magic) Items** - INT check
**Medical Treatment** - INT check, success restores ability to move and fight (after nearly dying).
- Can't be used on oneself.
**Languages Known**
| INT | Spoken Languages | Read? |

| 3 | Native (broken) | No |
| 4-5 | Native | No |
| 6-8 | Native | Basic |
| 9-12 | Native | Yes |
| 13-15 | Native + 1 | Yes |
| 16-17 | Native + 2 | Yes |
| 18+ | Native + 3 | Yes |
## Encumbrance
PCs can carry a number of "Important Items" equal to their strength (to a minimum of 10).
- Leather armor counts as 1 item, chain-mail counts as 2 items, plate counts as 3 items.
- 2-handed weapons count as 2 items.
- 1000 coins or 100 gems count as 1 item.
Carrying more items than allowed can be done, but movement is halved (or worse).
## Time
Time is often represented at different scales:
- A combat round is 10 seconds long.
- An exploration turn takes 10 minutes.
- A watch takes 4 hours.
- A long rest takes 8 hours.
## Exploration Procedure
The general steps to take when exploring (dungeon, wilderness, etc.)
1. **Setup** - Referee describes the situation
2. **Marching Order** - Party determines general exploration process
3. **Complication Check** - Referee rolls the complication die to see what effect it has.
4. **Actions / Responses / Complications** - Party declares actions, referee describes the results (and any complications).
5. **End Turn / Watch** - When the party's gone far enough or combat has completed, the (dungeon) turn or (wilderness) watch ends.
- Dungeon: 120'
- Wilderness: 12 miles
6. **Repeat** - Return to step 2 and repeat until the adventuring ends.
### Complication Check
Roll 1d6, ignoring results of 4+ for the first 4 turns in a session (or since they last occurred).
1. **Encounter** - Wandering monster, social encounter, or some other random interaction.
2. **Signs** - Indications of possible encounter nearby - could be a clue, monster tracks, etc.
3. **Locality** - Some environmental or external event that affects the PCs - water rises, the assassin gets closer to the target, doors lock behind the party, etc.
4. **Exhaustion** - Take a rest turn (short rest) or (additional) -1 to all rolls until you do.
5. **Light Source** - Torches go out, lanterns go out every third time.
6. **No Complications**
### Listening at Doors
Spend a minute listening at a door to have a base 1-in-6 chance of hearing a noise.
- Referee makes this roll.
### Opening Doors
**Locked Doors** - Can be picked or broken.
- Picking a lock takes 1d6 minutes.
**Stuck Doors** - Can be unstuck or broken.
Doors always break on a 1. Failure can affect stealth / surprise.
| STR | Unstick | Break |
| :---: | :-----: | :----: |
| 3-8 | --- | 1-in-6 |
| 9-12 | 2-in-6 | 1-in-6 |

## Spellcasting
Spells are patterns of energy that can be manipulated by some characters, known as spellcasters.
**Spell List** - Each class has an associated list of spells.
**Memorizing Spells** - Takes one hour, can only be done at start of day.
- A character’s level determines how many spells they can memorize at one time.
- The same spell may be memorized more than once, if the character can memorize more than one spell of the given level.
**Casting Spells** - Memorized spells are cast by replicating necessary hand gestures and spoken words.
- When a spell is cast, it is erased the the caster's mind.
- The caster must be able to speak and move their hands freely (ex: can't be gagged, bound, or magically silenced).
- The target (a specific monster, character, object, or area of effect) must be visible to the caster (unless stated otherwise).
- The caster must have one hand free (or a magic item in one hand).
**Spell Effects**
- Some spells affect multiple targets, either by area or by Hit Dice total. If the spell doesn't say how to select the targets, the referee decides.
- Some spells require the caster to concentrate to maintain the spell's effect. Performing any other action or being distracted (ex: attacked) causes concentration to end.
- Multiple spells cannot increase the same ability (e.g. bonuses to attack rolls, AC, damage rolls, saving throws, etc.). Spells that affect different abilities can be combined, just as spells can be combined with the effects of magical items.
**Magical Research** - New spells may be learned / created via research.
- Requires access to information (ex: library, other spellbooks, etc.) .
- Takes 2 weeks, and 1000 gp per spell level.
**Arcane Magic** - Arcane spell casters memorize spells from their spell books, which must be close at hand.
- If a spell can be reversed, its form must be selected when the spell is memorized
- Both forms can be memorized if the character can memorize more than one spell of the given level.
- Spells may be learned from a higher-level mentor (1 week / spell), copied from a scroll or (deciphered) spellbook, or from research.
- Lost spell books can be rebuilt spell-by-spell, with each spell taking 1 week of game time and 1,000 sp per spell level.
- Arcane casters can use arcane magic items and scrolls for spells on spell list.
| INT | SS | CC |
| :---: | :-: | :-: |
| 3 | 1 | 20 |
| 4-5 | 1 | 30 |
| 6-8 | 2 | 40 |
| 9-12 | 3 | 50 |
| 13-15 | 4 | 65 |
| 16-17 | 5 | 80 |
| 18+ | 6 | 95 |
- **Starting Spells (SS)** - The number of starting spells in a new caster's spell book.
- **Copy Chance (CC)** - The chance to copy spells scrolls and other sources into spellbook. Roll 1d100, result under score is success, failure means can't try again until next XP level.
**Divine Magic** - Divine spell casters memorize spells through prayer to their gods. When praying for spells, they may choose any spells in their class’ spell list that they are of high enough level to cast.
- Divine casters must be faithful to the tenets of their alignment, clergy, and religion.
- If they ever fall out of favor with their deity, penalties may be imposed (ex: -1 to attack, a reduction in spells, or being sent on a perilous quest).
- To regain favor, they would need to perform a great deed for their deity (referee's choice - ex: donating relics or gold, building a temple, converting others to the religion, etc.).
- Divine casters can cast reversed versions spells (possibly gaining deity disfavor).
- **Lawful characters** - Only use reversed spells in dire circumstances.
- **Chaotic characters** - Usually use reversed spells, only using normal spell versions to benefit their allies.
- **Neutral characters** - Usually favor either normal or reversed spells, depending on the deity.
- Divine casters can use divine magic items and scrolls for spells on their spell list.
**Ritual Magic** - Some spells may be cast without being memorized / granted through prayer or supplication.
- Ritual practices are often complicated spells cast over several minutes / turns.
- Rituals are many and varied - some can even be performed by non-spellcasters (with proper instruction).
- Some rituals require a blood sacrifice or other difficult to obtain component.
### Magic Saves
Saving throws versus magical effects get an additional modifier, based on the character's Wisdom.
| WIS | Mod |
| :---: | :-: |
| 3 | -3 |
| 4-5 | -2 |

## Advancement
As the adventures continue, treasure is acquired and monsters are vanquished, all adding to the PCs XP total.
- Each gold piece worth of treasure gained is worth 1 XP, and each monster hs an XP value.
- The total XP are then divided amongst the PCs and any hirelings they have (at 1/2 share per hireling)
- Players running multiple characters gets a full share for their first PC and a half-share for the second, although they choose how to distribute the points.
- Referees may increase the derived value arbitrarily.
- Once a PC acquires enough XP, they go up to the next level in their class.
