Do’s and Don’ts.

Do these please.

1. Party unity is important.

2. How I word something could be very useful in the game. Like solving a puzzle, or finding the treasure, rescue the villager, etc.

3. If you are unsure your character is allowed an action under the rules, please ask me.

4. Good suggestions are a plus. If you don’t speak up, we will never know what you were going to say.

Don’ts.

Please don’t do these.

1. Please, no arguing.

2. Please don’t cheat on your die/dice rolls.

Previous game sessions, 1980 through 1985, caused me to have to type these up.

Apparently lost track of my binder with this info, so I’ll just type it up new.

Spear thrower is for 6’ or 7’spears
1 per round; distances: 2”, 5”, and 8”

Atl-atl is for 5’ spears
1 per round; distances: 3”, 6”, and 9”

I have decided to make changes for this rule in the player’s handbook.

On page 10, left hand column, there is a chart I am modifying for my game world.

Int 15-16 70%, 14 to 22
Int 17 80% 16 to 24
Int 18 90% 18 to 36
Int 19 97% 20 to all

These are spell book amounts. The spells per day is a separate chart in this blog.

These are made to the ‘to hit’ rolls.

Turning around takes 1 hex/square of movement.

distances in hexes/squares:

1 hex = 3 1/3 feet; 2 = 6 2/3 feet; 3 = 10 feet; 4 = 13 1/3 feet; 5 = 16 2/3 feet; 6 = 20 feet; 7 = 23 1/3 feet; 8 = 26 2/3 feet; 9 = 30 feet; 10 = 33 1/3 feet; 11 = 36 2/3 feet; 12 = 40 feet; 13 = 32 1/3 feet; 14 = 46 2/3 feet; 15 = 50 feet; 18 = 60 feet; 21 = 70 feet; 27 = 90 feet; 30 = 100 feet.

Note on 15” movement rate:

A Barbarian can do this rate for up to 9 hours if the character has taken no damage. A Barbarian character can still move at this rate even if they have taken damage. Example: A Barbarian with 45 hit points has taken 23 hit points in damage. That is 9 hours times 0.51 = 4.59 hours can move at this rate.

All other character races can move a maximum of 1 hour at this rate. After the 6 turns, 1 hour, the character must slow to a 6” movement rate for 4 hours of walking, or sleep for 2 hours, before going back to the 15” movement rate. If the character continues at the 15” rate after 1 hour, the player must roll 4d6 vs. Constitution. failure means the character has collapsed. The character must rest for 4 hours after 3d10 + 5 rounds of unconciousness.
