### 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 has gone far enough or combat has completed, the (dungeon) turn or (wilderness) watch ends.
|
||||
|
||||
- Dungeon: 240'
|
||||
- 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 creature, social encounter, or some other random interaction.
|
||||
2. **Signs / Portents**: 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**
|
||||
|
||||
#### Darkness
|
||||
|
||||
- -4 to attack when unable to see
|
||||
- Candles light 10' radius
|
||||
- Torches / lanterns light 30' radius
|
||||
|
||||
#### Infravision
|
||||
|
||||
- Can see heat tones, even in the dark.
|
||||
- Usually works to 60'.
|
||||
|
||||
#### 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.

|

|
||||
- Fall damage is 1d6 / 10'.
|
||||
- Creatures are assumed to be able to swim at 1/2 their movement speed.
|
||||
|
||||
### Encounter Procedure
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Check Stealth**: Referee rolls for stealth, if applicable.
|
||||
|
||||
- Each side that's being relatively stealthy (quiet, douses torches, etc.) has a base 2-in-6 chance of not being spotted.
|
||||
- Parties carrying an active light source typically can not have stealth.
|
||||
- If only one side has stealth, they may usually make a free attack (or can pass unnoticed).
|
||||
- If all sides have stealth, they miss each other.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Determine Distance**: Referee determines how far away the characters are from the encounter.
|
||||
|
||||
- Often determined by the nature of the encounter itself, but may be determined randomly:
|
||||
- Dungeon: 2d6 x 10'
|
||||
- Wilderness: 4d6 x 10 yards (or 1d4 x 10 yards if either side is surprised).
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Roll Initiative**: Each side that has can has stealth rolls 1d20, highest roll moves first.
|
||||
4. **Choose Actions**: Each side decides how they will respond in initiative order, and the encounter proceeds.
|
||||
|
||||
- Players decide how their characters will act.
|
||||
- Creature actions are often determined by the nature of the encounter itself, but may be determined randomly.
|
||||
- If creature / NPC reaction isn't obvious, roll 2d6 (+ CHA modifier, if someone tries to communicate).

5. **End Turn**: Once the encounter has played out, the turn ends.
|
||||
|
||||
- Each encounter is assumed to take at least one full turn to complete.
|
||||
- This includes time to regroup, bind wounds, clean weapons, rest, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Typical Actions
|
||||
|
||||
While any action is possible, the following actions are the most common:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Combat**: If a side attacks, casts a spell, or makes a tactical movement, [combat](./combat.html) begins.
|
||||
- **Evasion**: If a side decides to flee, another side may decide to pursue.
|
||||
- **Talk**: One side may attempt to communicate with the other(s).
|
||||
|
||||
#### Evasion
|
||||
|
||||
Any side that wishes to avoid an encounter may attempt to flee.
|
||||
|
||||
- Only possible before combat begins.
|
||||
- Each opposing side declares whether or not they want to pursue.
|
||||
- Players decide freely if they wish to pursue fleeing creatures.
|
||||
- Referee decides whether creatures pursue fleeing PCs (based on circumstances or roll).
|
||||
- If all opposing sides decide not to pursue, the evasion attempt automatically succeeds and the encounter is avoided.
|
||||
- If an opposing side decides to pursue, the chance of evading depends on the surrounding environment.
|
||||
|
||||
### Advancement
|
||||
|
||||
As the adventures continue, treasure is acquired and creatures are vanquished, all adding to the PCs XP total.
|
||||
|
||||
- Each standard coin worth of treasure gained is worth 1 XP, and each creature has an XP value awarded for beating them (one way or another).
|
||||
- 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.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Upon Gaining a Level
|
||||
|
||||
When a PC increases their level, the following actions may be performed:
|
||||
|
||||
- Roll a hit die (based on the PC's class), and add it to their maximum hit points.
|
||||
- 1s and 2s may be re-rolled.
|
||||
- Alternatively, roll the next die step down and add 2.
|
||||
- Their player may pick one of the PC's abilities, and roll 3d6.
|
||||
- If the resulting roll is higher than the ability score, increase the score by 1.
|
||||
- Check the PC's [class](/classes/index.html) and [race](/races/index.html) to see if any new abilities are gained.
|
||||
|
||||
### 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).
|
||||
|
||||
### Health, Damage and Dying

||||

Starting HP is based class and race. When damage is taken, HP is lost.
