**GUEST FOREWORD**

TBA - Hoping to get either Barack Obama, Pope Francis or Frank Mentzer (if we're really lucky). 



**FOREWORD **

To do (P&P) It's an __//Unearthed Arcana//__ that doesn't suck.



**INTRODUCTION **

//Magic
Sandra's seen a leprechaun,
Eddie touched a troll,
Laurie danced with witches once,
Charlie found some goblins gold.
Donald heard a mermaid sing,
Susy spied an elf,
But all the magic I have known
I've had to make myself.//
― Shel Silverstein, __**Where the Sidewalk Ends**__

**CHAPTER 1: CHARACTERS**


//The sun was sinking behind the hills, its rays tinging red the remains on the battlefield."How appropriate" thought Albar, Marshal of Finch Manor.//

//Everywhere around him crows were hopping from one corpse to another, fending the fog on blood stained wings. He had had to repel two or three himself, whose pecking had made him come around from deep unconsciousness. The first charge of the Lisantan heavy cavalry had broken the ranks of the recently-born Federation's army, the second one had shattered the troops morale and sent the men fleeing for their lives. He remembered an Imperial knight charging him with a victorious smile on his pale face, the spear he had hastily collected from a dead infantryman grating on the horse's barding and then breaking through the armour. The dying horse, carried on by its momentum, had trampled him and darkness had come. Albar turned around to the rag-tag band of survivors he had found himself in command of, if you could call it that. //

//Here was Geirdis Ingulfsdottir, an imposing woman from the far north clad in furs and leathers. She had a childlike face despite being more than six feet tall.The savage sweetness of her eyes was betrayed by her hard hands, clutching a battle axe.//

//The second one was Crazy Piotr, an ivy bearded dwarf dressed in a piecemeal manner, wearing the tattered remains of a rusted chain-mail hauberk a broken shafted spear in his hands. The bronze collar at his neck clearly indicated he came from the Conscript Legion of Runze. His calm demeanor was striking if you considered his nickname.//

//Gwern the Conjuror was a weird elf. Despite his good looks, fine silks and suave manners Albar had almost unconsciously tagged him as "the beauty and the beast". There was a perverse glint in his eyes that escaped a more precise identification.//

//The last one was a curly haired and likeable southerner who had given the unlikely name of Lostorian Tresaeren. As much as he found the fellow agreeable his face was that of a tomb robber, if he ever had seen one. He was sure the wiry little man's plain clothes hid far too many knives.//

//They had met while wandering amidst the corpses looking around warily, ready for trouble. After a few tense moments a frail trust had sparked to life, and he'd found himself in charge of the group as his peculiar new companions would not trust each other. They had quickly scavenged the battlefield for weapons, food and everything that might be of use. They had been lucky enough to find some coins too. He looked down at the sorry mess that had been his armor and winced inside.//

//"All right. We have Lisantan explorers behind us. Bandits, deserters and the gods only know what on the road in front of us. We have a long way to go. Let's move."//

//- Luigi Castellani//

==== HUMAN, NORTHMAN ====

A hearty and strong Barbarian race from the frozen north, representing various literary archetypes such as Howard's Cimmerians or Leiber's Snow Clans. If the optional height and weight tables are used, increase their height by two inches and their weight by ten pounds. They receive a bonus of +1 to their initially-rolled Strength score to a maximum of 19.

Northmen are experts with the axe, sword and spear, and receive a bonus of +1 "to hit" with these weapons in hand to hand combat.

In youth, Northmen are taught to paint their faces and bodies with semi-magical patterns of woad that protect them. While wearing the paint, a northman receives a bonus of +2 to Saving Throws vs. aimed magic items, petrifaction/polymorph, poison or paralysis, and spells.

Northmen speak their native tongue and their alignment language.  PC Northmen learn the Common tongue before play begins; deduct one language from the maximum number the character is permitted to learn by virtue of his or her intelligence.

===== DEMI-HUMAN SUB-RACES =====

==== GNOMES ====

The following gnome sub-races are loosely based on Irish myth.  They have the abilities described under "Gnome" in the __OSRIC__ core rules, except as amended hereafter.  In other words, they receive bonus Saving Throws, combat benefits against kobolds and goblins, defensive adjustments against giant-like creatures, darkvision, and special abilities in relation to stonework and mining as all generic gnomes do.



=== GNOME, FIR BOLG ===

Dark-haired and swarthy-featured, the Fir Bolg are the doughtiest Fighters among the gnomish people.  If carrying a small leather sack full of soil, the Fir Bolg can enlarge him- or herself once per day, doubling his or her own height, increasing his or her mass and the size of any clothing, armour and weapons proportionally.  Changing size takes no time, so the Fir Bolg can act normally in the round he or she chooses to change.  The effect lasts for 1 turn (10 melee rounds).  

In their natural (non-enlarged) state they get -1 Strength, +1 Dexterity; enlarging reverses this to +1 Strength, -1 Dexterity (so the enlarge power effectively gives them +2 Str and -2 Dex).

A PC Fir Bolg may be an Assassin, Cleric, Fighter, Illusionist, Thief or Troubadour.  The Fir Bolg may multi-class as a Fighter/Illusionist, Fighter/Thief, Fighter/Troubadour, Illusionist/Thief or Troubadour/Thief.

A PC Fir Domnan may be an Assassin, Cleric, Fighter, Illusionist, Thief or Troubadour.  The Fir Domnan may multi-class as a Cleric/Illusionist, Cleric/Thief, Illusionist/Thief or Troubadour/Thief.

They are friends of earthworms and caterpillars, and often have little creatures wriggling in their beards or hair.  

Gáilióin have an affinity with moles and badgers.  At first level, the Gáilióin may shapeshift into a mole once per day; the transformation lasts 1 turn plus 1 turn per level.  Upon attaining third level in any class, the Gáilióin may shapeshift into a badger instead, and upon attaining 5<sup>th</sup> level in any class, into a giant badger.

==== ELVES ====

The following elf sub-races are based on various literary sources.  They have the abilities described under "Elf" in the __OSRIC__ core rules, except as amended hereafter.  In other words, they receive combat benefits with certain swords and bows, resistance to //sleep// and //charm// spells, enhanced chance to surprise when alone and not in metal armour, chance to spot secret doors, and other special abilities exactly as standard elves do.



=== POLDER ELF ===

"Polder" is originally a Dutch word meaning a low-lying tract of land enclosed by dykes.  In fantasy, a "polder" is a finite, bounded part of the world protected by an actively-maintained, magical border. The polder is often, but not necessarily, a woodland, island in a magical lake, or Shangri-La type valley. There may be a threat that is kept at bay by the border, but this is not necessarily so--sometimes the borders are merely holding back time, or change. A consistent theme of the source literature is that the polder's boundaries are threatened with failure, or already in the course of failing.  

Polder-type elves get +2 Charisma at the expense of -1 Constitution. They are strange and think differently from other creatures.  They are tricky and deceptive, and can be Illusionists. Some are very wise, some haughty, and some both.  Their Charisma may reach 19 but not 20.

A PC polder elf may be an Assassin, Druid, Fighter, Illusionist, Magic-User, Ranger, Thief or Troubadour and may multi-class as a Druid/Fighter, Druid/Thief, Fighter/Assassin, Fighter/Illusionist, Fighter/Magic-User, Fighter/Thief, Fighter/Troubadour, Illusionist/Thief, Magic-User/Thief, Ranger/Magic-User, Ranger/Thief, Fighter/Illusionist/Thief or Fighter/Magic-User/Thief.

Polder elves speak the following languages: Common, elven, centaur, dryad, faun, gnomish and sprite.  They may learn up to two additional languages, or three if their Intelligence is 18.



**RACIAL LIMITATIONS:**

=== WARDEN ELVES ===

Warden elves are a caste or subgroup charged with maintaining the border of the polder. They are fierce and inquisitive. They get +1 Dexterity and -1 Constitution like normal elves, and are often Rangers.  They have excellent senses.  Warden Elves have an innate 25% chance to Hear Noise as a Thief does; Thief or Assassin Warden Elves gain +10% on their chance to Hear Noise.  Also, they tend to know when someone is lying to them - a warden elf has a 1 in 6 chance of detecting any lie told them by a human, demi-human or humanoid.  This power does not reveal the truth.

A PC warden elf may be an Assassin, Druid, Fighter, Magic-User, Ranger or Thief and may multi-class as a Druid/Fighter, Druid/Thief, Fighter/Assassin, Fighter/Magic-User, Fighter/Thief, Fighter/Troubadour, Magic-User/Thief, Ranger/Magic-User, Ranger/Thief, Fighter/Magic-User/Thief or Ranger/Magic-User/Thief.

Warden elves speak the same languages as polder elves.

=== LIMINAL ELVES ===

In an alternative view of elves, their "Fairyland" is not in a polder but actually on another plane, reachable by special means such as passing through fairy rings on midsummer's eve, or in sources where the elves are a little scarier, stone circles on Walpurgisnacht. These liminal elves are associated with ley lines and barrows. In traditional stories, a theme is that a human woman is taken to Fairyland (Tir Nan Og, the Fortunate Isles, etc.) to act as midwife to an elven child. In the course of her duties she gets a little fairy ointment on her fingers which is then transferred to her eyes, upon which she can see into Fairyland and perceive the elves as they do themselves--until she inadvertently gives away that she has this power, and it is taken from her.  More recent literary sources for liminal elves include Dunsany's //The King of Elfland's Daughter// and Neil Gaiman's //Stardust//.

Liminal elves are visitors to the mortal world and may be confused by it. They may be here for some specific purpose, exiles from the Fairy Queen (or more rarely, King) or they may have accidentally become trapped and looking for a portal back into their natural homeland. Although they cannot quite leave this universe without a portal, by standing still and concentrating they can "fade", entering a state of quasi-reality in which they are 60% imperceptible - this power is treated as if the elf were wearing a low-strength //cloak of elvenkind//.  If the elf moves he or she returns to the normal world at once. Liminal elves get +1 Intelligence, +1 Dexterity and +1 Charisma at the cost of -1 Strength and -2 Constitution.  Both Intelligence and Dexterity can reach 19. Cold iron is poisonous to them, and if it enters their bloodstream they must Save vs. Poison or die.

A PC liminal elf may be a Cavalier, Cleric, Fighter, Magic-User, Ranger or Thief and may multi-class as a Cavalier/Cleric, Cavalier/Magic-User, Cleric/Fighter, Cleric/Magic-User, Cleric/Ranger, Cleric/Thief, Ranger/Magic-User, Ranger/Thief, Cleric/Fighter/Magic-User, or Fighter/Magic-User/Thief.

Liminal elves speak their own tongue, Common, their alignment language, and the languages of pixies, sylphs and unicorns.  They can also speak with any feathered flying creature, including griffons, pegasi and phoenixes.

=== HALF-ELVES ===

The concept of a half-elf goes back to the Norse sagas, and comes to __OSRIC__ in a curiously wide variety of forms.  Traditional Gygaxian half-elves are a blend of several sources.  For these variants, I have drawn on a darker view that goes back to Poul Anderson's __//The Broken Sword//__.

Sometimes for reasons of their own, elves will steal a human infant and put a fey infant in its place.  Such is the cunning of the enchantment that the human family will not notice any difference at first.  Such a theft creates not one changeling but two: the elven-child raised as a human ("elf-brood") and the man-child raised among elves ("man-brood").



== CHANGELING (ELF-BROOD) ==

Elf-brood changelings tend to be unpredictable.  They are headstrong and rebellious, unwilling to follow rules and customs, but often charming and attractive. The elf-brood changeling gains a bonus of +1 to Charisma and takes a penalty of -1 to Constitution.  Their Charisma can reach 19.  They share the traditional elven resistance to sleep and charm spells, but to a lesser degree (50%).

An elf-brood changeling may be an Assassin, Cavalier, Cleric, Druid, Fighter, Magic-User, Ranger, Thief, Troubadour or Witch.  He or she may multi-class as a Cavalier/Cleric, Cavalier/Magic-User, Cleric/Assassin, Cleric/Fighter, Cleric/Thief, Druid/Fighter, Druid/Magic-User, Druid/Thief, Fighter/Assassin, Fighter/Magic-User, Fighter/Thief, Ranger/Magic-User, Ranger/Thief, Cavalier/Cleric/Magic-User, Cleric/Fighter/Magic-User, Cleric/Ranger/Magic-User, Fighter/Magic-User/Thief, or Ranger/Magic-User/Thief.

Being raised among humans they are not taught the languages their elven siblings learn, and when play starts will know only Common and their alignment tongue.  They may learn as many other languages as their Intelligence allows.



**RACIAL LIMITATIONS:**

**Minimum/Maximum Ability Scores** (after adjustment for race); if the ability scores rolled do not fall within these limits, then the race of elf-brood changeling is not a valid choice for the character:

**Paladin**: N/A

**Ranger**: 7

**Thief**: Unlimited

**Troubadour**: N/A

**Witch**: N/A

== CHANGELING (MAN-BROOD) ==

Man-brood changelings are wanted as warriors and as envoys to the mortal world.  They are sturdy and less flighty than elves (taking no stat modifications), and are usually trained in the arts of war, gaining a bonus of +1 to hit with the long sword and long or short bow.  They have no special resistance to sleep or charm, and their human heritage means they have no darkvision.  Elves see them as reliable and trustworthy, but staid and dull.

A man-brood changeling may be an Assassin, Cavalier, Cleric, Druid, Fighter, Magic-User, Ranger or Thief.  He or she may multi-class as a Cavalier/Cleric, Cavalier/Magic-User, Cleric/Fighter, Cleric/Thief, Druid/Fighter, Druid/Magic-User, Druid/Thief, Fighter/Assassin, Fighter/Magic-User, Fighter/Thief, Fighter/Troubadour, Fighter/Witch, Ranger/Magic-User, Ranger/Thief, Ranger/Troubadour, Ranger/Witch, Thief/Troubadour, Thief/Witch, Cleric/Fighter/Magic-User, Cleric/Ranger/Magic-User, Druid/Fighter/Magic-User, Fighter/Magic-User/Thief, Fighter/Magic-User/Assassin or Ranger/Magic-User/Thief.

As part of their education among the elves, man-brood changelings learn Common, elven, gnoll, gnomish, goblin, halfling, hobgoblin and orcish.  They may learn up to two additional tongues if their Intelligence permits.

==== HALF-OGRES ====


Half-Ogres are large and long limbed, with lanky dark hair and dark eyes. Their complexion is usually sallow and many resemble thin ogres with slightly gentler traits. Half-Ogres have very little body hair compared to Ogres and humans being almost glabrous. Their hide is incredibly tough giving them a natural unarmoured AC of 9. While not as crude as full-blooded Ogres, Half-Ogres retain much of their unhuman side. More cunning than intelligent, they are seen as unredeemable brutal savages by many of the other races. Half-Ogres gain a +1 to Strength and Constitution and take a -1 penalty to Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma. Half-Ogres have darkvision to 60'. 

Because of their size, Half-Ogres are considered Large-sized creatures for damage purposes and are considered Giantkind when considering AC modifiers for small-folks like dwarfs and halflings. A Half-Ogre's Hit Dice type is bumped up one step to a maximum of 1d12, so a Half-Ogre Thief would roll 1d8 for hit points. Half-ogres can wield two-handed weapons like battle-axes and two-handed swords with one hand only. Bows, crossbows and polearms still require two hands to use regardless of size. Half-Ogre-sized armor is very rare and expensive (costs twice the usual price).

A half-ogre** **may be a Barbarian, Cleric, Fighter or a Thief. He may multi-class as a Fighter/Thief or a Barbarian/Thief. Half-Ogres must abide by the less restrictive class requirements for weapons and the more restrictive class requirements for armor.

===== CHARACTER DETAILS =====


==== AGE AND AGEING ====

Characters of different races age at different rates, so character age and ageing is an aspect of the character's race.  These rules completely replace the ones in the __OSRIC__ Core Rules.

Characters can be classified into the following brackets according to their age:



|    |  **HUMAN**<sup>**1**</sup>  |  **ATLANTEAN**  |  **ELF**  |  **HALF-ELF**<sup>**2**</sup>  |**DWARF**|  **GNOME**  |  **HALF-ORC**  |  **HALFLING**  |  **HALF-OGRE**  |

|² Includes Elf-brood Changeling.  Although genetically elven, these changelings spend their crucial formative years in the mortal world so ageing sets in at a mortal speed.||||||||||

Multi-class characters tend towards the higher end of the age range.  For multi-class characters, select the range that gives the highest possible age, and roll on it twice, using the higher result.



==== EFFECTS OF AGEING ====

Most player characters will begin as adults, with a few adolescents. There is no effect in game terms when advancing from adolescent to adult.



|  **ENTERING AGE CATEGORY**  |  **STRENGTH**  |  **DEXTERITY**  |  **CONSTITUTION**  |  **INTELLIGENCE**  |**WISDOM**|  **CHARISMA**  |
|  **Middle-Aged**  |  60% (-1)  |  50% (-1)  |  50% (-1)  |  -  |  25% (+1)  |  -  |
|  **Old**  |  60% (-1)  |  50% (-1)  |  50% (-1)  |  25% (+1)  |  50% (+1)  |  -  |
|  **Elderly**  |  75% (-1d3)  |  75% (-1d2)  |  75% (-1d3)  |  25% (+1)  |  50% (+1)  |  -  |
|  **Ancient**  |  90% (-1d3)  |  75% (-1d2)  |  90% (-1d3)  |  25% (+1d2)  |  75% (+1d2)  |  -  |
|The chance is the percentage chance that the indicated modifier will be applied.|||||||



For example, a human is touched by a ghost and gains 21 years of age, which moves her from "middle-aged" to "old". There is a 60% chance that she will lose a point of Strength, a 50% chance each that she will lose a point of Dexterity and Constitution, a 25% chance that she will gain a point of Intelligence, and a 50% chance that she will gain a point of Wisdom. These adjustments can cause a character to drop below racial minima, but not to exceed racial maxima.

(In a "realistic" game, old age would risk deterioration of mental stats due to dementia, but in __OSRIC__'s source literature, old age tends to be a marker for wisdom and knowledge.  We take this to mean that senile dementia is removable with a //cure disease// spell or similar enchantment.)



==== MORTALITY ====

If for some reason it becomes necessary to calculate the risk of death from natural causes/old age, then for game purposes mortality rates are:



|  **AGE RANK**  |  **RATE**  |
|  **Infant-Adult**  |  0.01%/year  |
|  **Middle-Aged**  |  0.1%/year  |
|  **Old**  |  3%/year  |
|  **Elderly**  |  20%/year  |
|  **Ancient**  |  50%/year  |



==== SUPERNATURAL AGEING ====

The following spells or effects cause supernatural ageing:



|  **EFFECT**  |  **AGEING**  |
|  Being affected by a haste spell  |  2 years  |
|  Being touched by a ghost  |  7d6 years  |
|  Casting //alter reality//  |  1d4 years  |
|  Casting //gate//  |  1d6 years  |
|  Casting// limited wish//  |  1 year  |
|  Casting //resurrection//  |  1d4 years  |
|  Casting //wish//  |  1d4 years  |
|  Drinking a //potion of speed//  |  1 year  |
|  Seeing a ghost  |  3d6 years  |



Using a magical device such as a wand or scroll that casts one of these spells does not cause supernatural ageing, but creating or recharging such a device does.



==== CHARACTER BIRTH AND FAMILY ====



The GM may choose to have players determine their characters' birth order by rolling on the table below. Determining this detail adds a bit of additional colour to the character's background which can help the player visualise the character, and might also impact the campaign, in the case of first children who may have additional duties or responsibilities, seventh children, who have additional benefits as detailed below, or if the GM chooses to detail siblings or other members of the character's family. 



|  **d%**  |  **BIRTH RANK**  |  **MODIFIERS**  ||
|  01-25  |  1<sup>st</sup> Child  |  Dwarf  |  -15  |
|  26-45  |  2<sup>nd</sup> Child  |  Elf / Gnome  |  -20  |
|  46-60  |  3<sup>rd</sup> Child  |  Halfling / Half-Elf  |  -10  |
|  61-75  |  4<sup>th</sup> Child  |  Human / Half-Orc  |  0  |
|  76-85  |  5<sup>th</sup> Child  |  Lower Social Class  |  0  |
|  86-90  |  6<sup>th</sup> Child  |  Middle Social Class  |  -5  |
|  91-94  |  7<sup>th</sup> Child *  |  Upper Social Class  |  -15  |
|  95-97  |  8<sup>th</sup> Child  |    |    |
|  98-99  |  9<sup>th</sup> Child  |    |    |
|  100  |  10<sup>th</sup> + Child  |    |    |



* Seventh children should make an additional roll on the following table to determine whether either or both of their parents might also have been seventh children, and what special benefits apply to the character (particularly if the optional Joss rules are in use): 



|  **d%**  |  **BIRTH RANK**  |  **BENEFITS**  |
|  01-70  |  7<sup>th</sup> Child  |  +1 Joss  |
|  71-77  |  7<sup>th</sup> Child of a 7<sup>th</sup> Child  |  +2 Joss  |
|  78-90  |  7<sup>th</sup> Son/Daughter of a 7<sup>th</sup> Son/Daughter  |  +3 Joss, +1 WIS  |
|  91-99  |  7<sup>th</sup> Son/Daughter of 7<sup>th</sup> Child Parents  |  +4 Joss, +1 WIS  |
|  100  |  7<sup>th</sup> Son/Daughter of a 7<sup>th</sup> Son & 7<sup>th</sup> Daughter  |  +5 Joss, +1 INT, +1 WIS  |



==== SIBLINGS ====

**Multiple births**: For those who desire a greater degree of complexity and verisimilitude, in the above tables, a "child" may actually be twins or even more offspring.  The chance of multiple birth is 1% for humans and 4% for half-orcs (pure-blooded orcs tend to produce litters of three or four offspring).  For half-elves and halflings the chance is 0.1%.  Elves, dwarfs and gnomes almost never produce multiple births.

If a multiple birth is indicated it is almost always twins, but there is a 1% chance it may be triplets.  If triplets, there is a 1% chance that it is actually quadruplets, and so on.

For each additional child above the first born in a multiple birth, roll 1d6.  On a 1 or 2, it is an identical twin and will be of the same gender as the first child.  Otherwise it will be a fraternal or sororal twin and its gender is determined randomly.

**Gender**: Human children are 53% male and 47% female.  Half-orcs are 60% male and 40% female, and all other species are 50% male/50% female.

**Infant mortality and child mortality**: The worlds used in __OSRIC__-compatible games, which contain spellcasters capable of curing most diseases and healing most injuries, have a much lower child and infant mortality rate than real world mediaeval societies did.  For each child, roll 1d20; on a "1" the child fails to survive to its fifth birthday.



==== COMPLEX FAMILY GENERATION ====


Using these tables it should be possible to create a family of any desired complexity.



=== MOTHER'S AGE TABLE ===

|    |  **HUMAN**  |  **ATLANTEAN**  |  **ELF**  |  **HALF-ELF**<sup>**1**</sup>  |**DWARF**|  **GNOME**  |  **HALF-ORC**<sup>2</sup>  |  **HALFLING**  |  **HALF-OGRE**  |

|  Chance mother divorced/abandoned  |  2%  |  2%  |  0.1%  |  1%  |  0.1%  |  0.2%  |  25%  |  0.5%  |  20%  |
|¹ This value is only used where the mother is herself a half-elf.  If the half-elf is born of a human and an elf, use the appropriate table for the mother!\\ ² This value is only used where the mother is herself a half-orc.  If the half-orc is born of a human and an orc, use the appropriate table for the mother!  If a value is needed for a female orc's age at first conception, use 10+1d12. \\ * Chance is rolled annually.||||||||||



The father's age varies according to campaign circumstances - if the parents are a stable family, there is a 90% chance that the father is within 25% of the mother's age at first conception.  For children born out of a stable family the father can be any age from late adolescence onwards.

If the player character is a child of the hereditary nobility, then any result of "first child" on the first table should be rerolled, since those in line to inherit substantial wealth and power typically have neither permission nor motivation to risk their lives on wild adventures. If the second roll still shows that the character is a first child, then the result should stand. The GM and player will need to agree on what unusual circumstance obtains. 



==== BACKGROUND PROFESSIONS ====

Player characters were not always adventurers. Before they decided to head off into dark mysterious dungeons or ogre-infested wild lands, they may have started down one or more "respectable" career paths. In most "old school" fantasy role-playing games like __OSRIC__, however, this aspect of a character's early life has no effect on that character's abilities. This optional rule aims to rectify this situation. 

Moreover, by providing all characters with at least one "background profession", this optional rule should provide greater depth and personality to the players' characters. Consider, for instance, the following party. Cormac the Fighter was once a hunter who was raised near the Highland Forest, hence his skill in tracking prey and moving stealthily in hill and wood. In contrast, his ally Elowyn, also a Fighter, was once a scholar in the city of Bookbridge, hence her wide-ranging knowledge of different subjects. Elowyn's wide-ranging lore intimidates her companion, the Magic-User Alaric, whose own background as a petty noble in the court of the Duke of Briz means that he knows much of current politics and fashion, but little of ancient eldritch secrets, despite his arcane training. Finally, their holy ally - the rotund Fredigar, priest of Muirgen, Mistress of the Sea - spent years as a merchant and sailor before being called to service by his goddess. 

With this optional rule all characters may start with at least one "background profession". Players may roll either once on chart I, or twice on chart II below (the background professions on chart I are slightly more useful for adventuring characters). While GMs may permit players to re-roll results that do not seem to match their conceptions of their characters, players are encouraged to try to make counter-intuitive rolls work for their characters. For example, it may be that a paladin once was a pickpocket, before being "saved" from a life of crime by his church.

It is assumed that characters abandoned their professions to become adventurers before progressing beyond the "apprentice" stage (or equivalent). Thus a character who has the background profession of "alchemist", for example, would not be as skilled at alchemy as most professional (non-player character) alchemists.

A character's background profession(s) can enable that character to do or know certain things that other characters cannot do or know. For example, a frontiersman may know whether a kind of wild berry is poisonous, or a doctor may know how to treat a particular infection. A character's background profession(s) can also give that character a bonus (typically equivalent to +4 on a d20, or +20% when using other dice) when attempting certain kinds of tasks. If a character has two professions, any bonuses from those professions are not cumulative - so a character with both the "fisher" and "sailor" background professions, for instance, would not gain a +8 (+40%) bonus to his or her attempts to swim in troubled waters, only a +4 (+20%).

Ultimately, of course, it is the Game Master's decision whether or not a character's background profession confers any special advantage in any particular situation. Similarly, it is up to the GM to determine whether a particular background profession is available to a character. The GM may decide to prohibit certain races from having certain background professions (for instance, the GM may decide that dwarf characters cannot have the frontiersman, hunter, or sailor background professions), or may restrict background professions to human characters (and perhaps half-elf characters raised in human societies) only.

=== DESCRIPTIONS OF BACKGROUND PROFESSIONS ===



**Alchemist **[Requires an Intelligence of 12+]

Alchemists are skilled at identifying elixirs, poisons, potions, and so forth. If an alchemist analyses a potion or other liquid for one day, he/she successfully identifies the potion (or other liquid) with a roll of 8+ on a d20. If the alchemist rolls a 1 then the potion (or other liquid) is misidentified. Other failures (below 8 but above 1) indicate simply that the alchemist fails and knows that he/she has failed. The alchemist may try to identify the liquid again the following day on a result of 2-7 (with GM approval). If an alchemy lab is available - typically only found in towns with populations of 2500 or more - the alchemist gains a +4 bonus (i.e., succeeds on a roll of 4 or above), but must pay 30 +2d10gp per day to rent necessary supplies. (A roll of 1 still results in a misidentification by the alchemist.) 

Characters with the alchemist background profession start with 1+1d3 potions (to be determined randomly or by the GM).



**Aristocrat **

Aristocrats have knowledge of court etiquette, heraldry, recent history, and politics. They are skilled at difficult riding manoeuvres (+4/20% bonus) and mounted combat (+1 bonus to hit when on a trained warhorse).

Characters of an aristocratic background start the game with an inherited high-quality weapon or shield. Because of its superior quality, this item will have a +1 non-magical bonus (i.e., the weapon will have a +1 bonus to hit but not damage, or the shield will grant a +1 bonus to AC). Characters will not part willingly with this item (i.e., will refuse to sell it, even if in dire straits). Aristocratic characters also start with a bonus of 2d20gp.

**Blacksmith **[Requires a Strength of 10+]

Blacksmiths can repair metal weapons and armour with proper equipment (costs 10% of 'market' weapon/armour price for supplies and to rent forge; normally takes one day per item). Blacksmiths can also determine the correct value of non-magical weapons and armour within 10%.



**Brigand **[Requires a Strength of 9+ and a Dexterity of 9+]

Characters who once spent time as brigands are skilled at hiding and moving silently. Non-Thief characters with this background may //hide in shadows// and //move silently// as a 1<sup>st</sup>-level Thief, but may never improve beyond this level of ability, unless they are Assassins, in which case they improve normally after level 3. Thief characters with this background profession receive a +15% to their //hide in shadows// and //move silently// abilities, and start with a suit of leather armour and sling at no cost.



**Doctor **[Requires an Intelligence and Wisdom of 10+]

Doctors can bandage wounded characters with proper equipment. A doctor can heal 1-2 hit points after one turn of applying a bandage or a salve. Alternatively, a doctor can treat an unconscious character, returning that character to consciousness after applying a bandage or salve and using smelling salts for one turn (the awakened character will have one hit point). Doctors can heal a character in this way only once per combat. (A 'medical kit' with 10 bandages, 5 salves, and smelling salts, costs 15gp; characters with the doctor background profession start with one free kit.) 

Doctors can also try to draw out poisons (50% chance of success) and treat many natural diseases (50% chance of success). (The GM may modify the likelihood of success according the seriousness of the poison or disease.)



**Farmer**

Characters who were once farmers are skilled at predicting weather (roll of 6+ on d20) and at bartering (+4/20% bonus).



**Fisher**

If near a body of water and properly supplied (with a net, etc.), former fishers can capture enough fish to feed a 3+1d4 people for a day. Fishers are also skilled at swimming (+4/20% bonus if roll required, e.g., if the character is burdened, or is swimming in rapids; otherwise simply assume success).



**Fletcher/Bowyer**

Characters who were once fletchers/bowyers can make 1d4+1 scores (i.e., 40-100) of arrows or bolts per day with proper equipment (costs 10% of normal price). Such characters also are skilled at repairing damaged arrows and bows (roll of 6+ on d20 for every 5 arrows). Fletchers/bowyers can determine the correct value of non-magical bows within 10%.



**Frontiersman **[Requires a Constitution of 9+]

Characters who grew up on the edges of civilisation are skilled at finding their way in the wilds. They cannot normally become "lost" (although the GM may decide otherwise in unusual circumstances). Frontiersmen also have knowledge of natural herbs and poisons (+4/20% bonus if roll is required), knowledge of regional wildlife (+4/20% bonus if roll is required), and are good at predicting weather (roll of 6+ on d20, or +4/20% bonus if some other roll required). (It is recommended that the character typically succeed in identifying natural poisons, regional wildlife, etc., unless special circumstances warrant a roll.)



**Gambler **[Requires an Intelligence of 9+]

Characters who formerly made their living by gambling are skilled at such games (+4/20% bonus). They may earn 1d100-20sp (-19 to 80sp) per week by playing such games in any decent-sized town (normally a population of 2000 or greater), but may not adventure during that period. (Note that there is a possibility that a gambler may lose silver pieces during a period of gambling thanks to an unlucky streak, or encounters with even more skilled gamblers.) 

There is a 2% chance/week (non-cumulative) of gambling during which the character makes 60+ silver pieces that 2-5 (1d4+1) thugs will be sent by a disgruntled loser in order to recover the 'unfairly taken' funds from the character.



**Hunter** [Requires Dexterity of 9+]

Characters who were once hunters have good knowledge of regional wildlife (+4 /20% bonus if roll is required). They are skilled at tracking creatures (any land-based animal, humanoid, or monster) in the wilds (base 20% chance; add to tracking % if character is a Ranger), and are good at hiding and moving silently in the outdoors. Non-Thief characters may //Hide In Shadows// and //Move Silently// as 1<sup>st</sup>-level Thieves. However, they may use this ability only outdoors, and it never improves with experience, unless the character is an Assassin (in which case it improves normally after level 3). Thief characters enjoy a +15% bonus to their ability to //Hide In Shadows// and //Move Silently//, but only outdoors.



**Leatherworker/Tanner**

Characters who were once leatherworkers can repair any leather good, including leather armour, with proper supplies (costs 10% of normal price; normally takes half a day per good). Leatherworkers also can determine the correct value of non-magical leather goods and hides within 10%.



**Locksmith**:

Locksmiths are skilled at repairing and disabling most mechanical devices, such as locks, mechanical traps, etc.

Non-Thief characters may //Pick Locks// and //Disarm// (mechanical) //Traps// as 1<sup>st</sup>-level Thieves. This ability, however, does not improve with experience (unless the character is an Assassin, in which case it improves as normal for that class). Thief characters that were once locksmiths enjoy a +15% bonus to their ability to pick locks and disarm traps.



**Mason**

Masons receive a bonus (+4/20%) to notice unusual stonework (including stone traps, sloping passageways, etc.). They also receive a bonus to detect secret or concealed doors constructed of stone or surrounded by stone. Add +1 to the character's d6 ability to detect secret and concealed doors, if stone or part of surrounding stonework. Also assume that most characters have a base 10% ability to detect unusual stonework, to which the above modifiers apply (thus 30% for human ex-masons), unless they are dwarfs or gnomes, in which case apply the +20% bonus to the percentages listed under the descriptions of their special racial abilities. 



**Merchant **[Requires Wisdom 9+]

Merchants are knowledgeable of the regional economy and current politics, and are good at bartering (+4/20% bonus if roll required). Characters with the merchant background profession start the game with extra 'supplies' (player's choice of kind of goods) worth (2+1d4) x 20 (i.e., 60-120)gp. 



**Minstrel **[Requires a Charisma of 12+]

Characters who were once minstrels are knowledgeable of regional culture, court etiquette, and current politics. They know how to play one instrument (player's choice), and own that instrument (decent quality - worth 20+2d20gp). Minstrels can earn 2d12sp per week from performing (the character cannot adventure during this time) in any decent-sized town (population 1000+). Minstrels can only earn 1d12 silver pieces per week in smaller locales.



**Pickpocket **[Requires a Dexterity of 12+]

Characters who are not Thieves, but who once spent time as pickpockets (perhaps as street urchins or as aspiring Thieves before opting for a different career), can pick pockets as 1<sup>st</sup>-level Thieves. This ability does not improve as the character gains experience in his/her non-Thief class (unless the character is an Assassin, in which case this ability improves as normal after level 3). If the character is a Thief, then he/she gains a +20% bonus to his/her "pick pockets" ability, and an extra 10-60 (1d6x10) starting gold pieces.



**Sailor**

Former sailors are skilled at predicting weather (+4/20% bonus) and swimming (+4/20% bonus if roll required, otherwise assume automatic success).



**Scholar **[Requires Intelligence 12+]

Characters who devoted their pre-adventuring years to study are knowledgeable of a wide range of general topics, such as those concerning culture, geography, history, religion, etc. (assume a base 50% chance that the character will be able to answer any 'general knowledge' question; reduce to 1-20%, according to the GM's judgement, for more specific and/or difficult questions). The character abandoned the pursuit of academic knowledge before becoming a proper sage, and thus lacks any specialised areas of knowledge. 

Scholars also are knowledgeable of certain legends, including those concerning powerful monsters, ancient heroes and villains, powerful relics and magic items, etc. (+4/20% bonus). Scholars can try to identify a magic item (15% chance of success; +2% for every point of Intelligence above 12) if appropriate libraries and/or colleges are available (typically requires a town with a population of 5000 or greater; takes one week of research per item, and costs 50+1d20gp).



**Sentinel**

Characters who were once sentinels or guards are trained to be observant (+4/20% bonus to rolls to notice unusual things). They start with a mailshirt, rigid leather, or leather armour (player's choice), a small shield, and a one-handed weapon (player's choice) at no cost. 



**Note on Rolls**

A character's probability of success when using the abilities associated with his/her background profession in many cases has been noted above. In some descriptions of background professions, though, only a bonus (typically +4 on a d20, or the equivalent of +20%) has been identified. It is left to the GM's judgement to adjudicate how to apply this bonus in particular cases (e.g., a +2 to a roll on a d10). However, a proposed method is provided here.

One way to resolve various tasks, which has a long history in old school fantasy role-playing games similar to __OSRIC__, is to make an 'attribute check.' This involves rolling a d20 and checking the roll against the appropriate ability score. If the roll is equal to or less than the character's relevant attribute (which typically will range from 3 to 18), the attempt is successful. Under this system, any bonus that applies to the relevant task from that character's background profession is added to his/her relevant attribute before making the roll. However, a natural roll of a 20 is always a failure (unless the GM decides that, in particular situations, if a character has an attribute equivalent to 20+ that character automatically succeeds at the task in question). 

For example, a character with the "fisher" background profession attempts to swim across a turbulent river. If the river had been calm, the character would have succeeded automatically. Because of the rough water, though, the GM requests that the character make an attribute check against her strength. The character has a 12 strength, but because of her fisher background, that is adjusted to 16. Thus the player must roll a 16 or lower on a d20 in order for her character to swim successfully across the river.



**Difficulty Modifiers**

Finally, whenever a character must roll to use an ability associated with his/her background profession, it is recommended that the GM apply modifiers if appropriate. Very easy (but not automatically successful) tasks might receive a bonus of +10, while extremely difficult (but not impossible) tasks might receive a penalty of -10. Less extreme modifiers should apply to rolls involving tasks of intermediate ease or difficulty. 

When using the 'attribute check' system, these modifiers should be applied the character's 'effective' attribute for the purposes of the roll. So, for instance, if the 'fisher' character mentioned earlier were to try to swim across a turbulent river while wearing a heavy backpack, the GM may assign a penalty of -6, rendering her effective attribute '10' (12 strength + 4 bonus for background profession - 6 for backpack = 10).

**JOSS** (Optional)
----


"Joss" is a Chinese Pidgin-English word (derived from //deus//), meaning good luck or fortune. In __OSRIC__ terms Joss is a resource by which all PCs (and some important NPCs) are able to bend fate or luck (as expressed via die rolls) to some degree in their favor. It is quantified in terms of Joss Factors (JF), which can be utilized in the following ways:


• 1 JF can affect any skill check, saving throw, attack roll, surprise roll, initiative roll, etc. as follows: +/- 15% (for a d% roll), +/- 3 (for a d20 roll), +/- 1 (for a 1d6 roll). Other rolls can be extrapolated from these as necessary. JF can only be spent to improve the character's (or the character's side's) own chances, not to make an opponent's chances worse. Multiple JF can be spent to give a greater adjustment. //Note, however, that all JF must be declared and spent //__//before//__// the dice are rolled.// 

• 1 JF can be spent to make an attack which has already succeeded do double damage (rolled twice; not rolled once and doubled) or minimum possible damage. Multiple JF cannot be spent to increase or decrease damage further. 

• JF can be spent to gain hints/clues from the GM to solve a puzzle or mystery (exact cost determined by the GM, but always expensive) 

• JF can be spent to allow the character to suddenly come into extra cash, at an exchange rate of 1 JF = 500gp. 

• JF can be used to counter or cancel JF spent by another character on a 1:1 basis



Other uses of Joss are also possible, depending on the creativity of the player and the discretion of the GM, using the above as a guideline. For example, if a character is captured, spending JF may allow a "miraculous" escape - the number of JF required depending on how closely the character is being guarded, in how much isolation, etc. or spending JF may allow a character to pick up a temporary "special contact": a friendly NPC who can provide the character with help or information. As a general guideline, spending 1-2 JF will create a minor shift in the "game reality," 3-4 will allow a moderate shift, and 5-6 JF can create a major shift. 

Note, however, that while Joss bends luck in the character's favor, it is not able to change results after the fact: spending JF cannot undo a bad occurrence, but may be used to mitigate the effects of that occurrence. For example, using a JF will not cause a successful bite by a poison spider to have missed, but may affect the saving throw against that poison. Likewise, a character that has fallen off a cliff cannot use JF to levitate back onto the cliff, but may use them to mitigate damage from the fall. 

**Joss**** for Player Characters:** Each new player character begins at first level with 3-8 (1d6+2) JF. Thereafter, JF are gained in two ways: 1) one JF is gained every other level (i.e. at 2<sup>nd</sup>-level, 4<sup>th</sup>-level, etc.); and 2) JF are awarded to characters by the GM for exceptional acts - one that is remarkably heroic or clever, or that is particularly exemplary of the character's class and alignment. However, //no character may ever have more than 14 JF at any one time//. Note that JF that are spent do not automatically refresh, and once used the character must earn new JF to replace them. 

**Joss**** for NPCs:** NPCs generally will have fewer JF than PCs, but the GM may wish to assign some Joss to particularly powerful or important NPCs. As a general rule, 0-level NPCs will have 0 JF (though the GM may wish to assign some, or even many, JF to a character whose luck is out of proportion to their skill; for example a preternaturally-plucky urchin youth), low-level NPCs (including henchmen) will have 1-2 JF, important and/or high-level NPC will have 3-8 (1d6+2) JF, and the most important rulers, demi-gods, and figures of similar stature may have as many as 9-14 (1d6+8) JF (noting that the same absolute maximum of 14 applies to NPCs as well as PCs). At the GM's discretion, certain intelligent monsters such as angels, couatl, daemons, demons, devils, dragons, qilin, lammasu, liches, shedu, titans, vampires etc. may also have JF as per the above guidelines.		

**KNACKS & QUIRKS** (Optional)
----


Knacks are minor inborn talents, and quirks are minor inborn flaws or disabilities. Both of them serve to add a bit of color and individuality to characters without being either so powerful or so debilitating as to overshadow the character's other abilities. At the time of generation, one knack and one quirk should be rolled from the tables below for each character before choosing the character's class. Additional knacks and/or quirks may also be picked up during play, at the GM's discretion. Note that the actual game-mechanical effects of many of the knacks and quirks have been left undefined, and should be adjudicated as the GM feels appropriate.

**BARBARIAN**
----


//Barbarians always think of themselves as the bringers of civilization. //

- Jacques Schaeffer



//Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing.//

- Robert E. Howard



Beyond the borderlands, in the shadows of dense wold and craggy rocks, dwell fierce-faced people grown hard and dour in the unforgiving wilds. As reavers they oft venture into richer realms for pillage and slaughter, sheathing bloody blades in the meek and mighty alike, though they also see service as mercenaries when the rewards are right. Their deities are brutal and strange, caring little for modesty or artistry, valuing chiefly strength and prowess. Whatever else he or she might profess, a Barbarian is a red-handed slayer, a bringer of death to the monsters and men that oppose him or her.

Barbarians begin the game with 2d6 x 10gp, unless the optional rules presented at the end of this section are in use, in which case the Barbarian starts with 5d6gp.

**Abilities**

**Exceptional Strength**: A Barbarian character with a starting strength score of eighteen may roll percentage dice to determine an even greater degree of physical power, just as the Fighter class.

**Superior Constitution**: Being already naturally hardier than normal fighting-men, a Barbarian character with a truly exceptional constitution score (17+) enjoys the commensurate benefits of the Fighter.

**Skilful Climber**: Raised in the wilderness, the Barbarian character thinks little of obstacles that would daunt most civilised folk, meaning he or she climbs as a Thief of the same level.

**Accomplished Tracker**: For those who live beyond the soft comforts and pleasures of civilisation, tracking and hunting are essential skills, whether in pursuit of man, beast or monster. The Barbarian character tracks as a Ranger of the same level.

**Insidious Ambusher**: Warfare in the wild places of the world rarely takes the form of open battle, the terrain and mentality of the men who dwell there is better suited to sudden attacks from hidden vantages. As a result, the Barbarian character is well versed in both the laying and detection of ambushes, increasing the chance of the party surprising by 1-in-6 and reducing the chance of it being surprised by the same. 



**Advanced Abilities**

**Bonus attacks**: Upon reaching level seven, a Barbarian character increases in rate of attack with melee weapons by half, from 1/1 to 3/2; every six levels thereafter his or her attack rate increases by a further half, which is to say to 2/1 at level thirteen and 5/2 at level nineteen. 

**Red-Handed Slayer**: Normal men and similar monsters cannot stand against the wrath of the Barbarian, and so he or she may make as many attacks as he or she has levels against enemies with less than one full hit die.



**Stronghold**

Once the Barbarian character reaches level nine and is recognised as a chieftain, he or she may (if he has not done so already) establish a stronghold and clear the area around it of threats and hazards. He may then levy tribute on any inhabitants in the vicinity, collecting up to 10sp per month for every adult individual within his or her sphere of influence. 



**Barbarians: Optional Rules**

The GM may decide to use different optional rules for different cultures.  For example, a GM designing a campaign world might decide that the Amazons of the eastern jungle use options 1b, 2 and 3 (cultural weapons are spears and javelins), while the Picts of the bleak west use options 1d and 3 - cultural weapons are spears, axes and single-handed swords.



1) **Light armour**:  Barbarians are restricted to unencumbering armour types.

1a) Barbarians must be unarmoured.

1b) Barbarians may wear leather or padded armour.

1c) Barbarians may wear studded leather, leather or padded armour.

1d) Barbarians may wear any flexible armour type (mail, scale, studded leather, leather or padding).

2) **Defensive reflexes**:  A Barbarian's quick reflexes give him or her a Saving Throw against being struck in melee.  The Saving Throw depends on the Barbarian's encumbrance:



|  **ENCUMBRANCE**  |  **SAVING THROW**  |
|  No Armour  |  16  |
|  Light (Mv 120')  |  17  |
|  Moderate (Mv 90')  |  18  |
|  Heavy (Mv 60')  |  19  |
|  Very Heavy  |  20  |



3) **Widow-maker**:  The Barbarian's training with cultural weapons improves his or her melee weapon damage by one die type.  If the optional two-weapon rules are in play, only the main hand weapon gains this bonus.  Improving by one die-type means:

1d3 becomes 1d4

1d4 becomes 1d6

1d6 becomes 1d8

1d8 becomes 1d10

2d4 becomes 1d10

1d10 becomes 1d12

1d12 becomes 2d8

2d6 becomes 2d8

2d8 becomes 3d6

3d6 becomes 3d8



Thus, a Barbarian whose cultural weapons are axes uses the following dice:

|  **WEAPON**  |  **DAMAGE SM-MED**  |  **DAMAGE L**  |
|  Hand Axe  |  1d8  |  1d6  |
|  Battle Axe  |  1d10  |  1d10  |
|  Two-handed Axe  |  1d12  |  3d6  |



**CAVALIER**
----


//No, Sir, his manners are such that he would not know how to ask a woman to accept his service, although his looks are of Love's color.//
― Wolfram von Eschenbach, __**Parzival**__



//Arthur thought it better to make sure that the scattered Saxon forces could not re-form, at least while he came south for his father's burial.
"He is young," she said, "for such a charge."
I smiled. "But ready for it, and more than able. Believe me, it was like seeing a young falcon take to the air, or a swan to the water".// 
― Mary Stewart, __**The Last Enchantment**__





Life on the border marches is fraught with peril, and the hardy folk that dwell there must endure the pitiless raids of their enemies and the looming spectre of invasion. The armoured cavalryman is invaluable in such places, responding swiftly to attack and pursuing raiders deep into their own territory, whether to recover prisoners or to exact a bloody revenge. Whilst upon foot the Cavalier is the equal of any fighting-man, upon horse no other can match his prowess. A Cavalier is a warrior much in demand, whether serving as a soldier in his homeland, seeking fortune in foreign parts as a mercenary, or battling monsters beneath the earth.

|  20  |  3,300,000  |  9d10+33  |    |



**Abilities **

**Exceptional Strength**: If the Cavalier character has a Strength score of eighteen he may roll percentage dice to determine an even greater degree of physical power, just as the Fighter class. 

**Superior Constitution**: Raised to life in the saddle, the Cavalier is able to endure greater hardships than normal men, and so those with a high Constitution (17+) enjoy the normal benefits of the Fighter. 

**Agile Combatant**: Considerable adroitness is necessary for the Cavalier; continual and rigorous training has enhanced his natural ability so that his dexterity is treated as one grade higher for determining modifiers. 

**Horse Master**: The Cavalier has extensive knowledge and skill with horses; furthermore, he may treat one such mount he is familiar with as though it is affected by an animal friendship spell. 



**Advanced Abilities **

**Attack Rate Increase**: Upon reaching level seven, a Cavalier character increases in rate of attack with melee weapons by half, from 1/1 to 3/2; every six levels thereafter his attack rate increases by a further half, which is to say to 2/1 at level thirteen and 5/2 at level nineteen. 

**One Against Many**: Normal men and similar monsters are no match for the Cavalier, and so he may make as many attacks as he has levels against enemies of less than one level or hit die. 

**Ferocious Charge**: At level five, damage done by the Cavalier with the lance is tripled, rather than doubled, and every four levels thereafter increases one step in potency. That is to say at level nine it is quadrupled, at level thirteen it is quintupled and so on. 



**Stronghold**** **

Once the Cavalier character reaches level nine and is recognised as a banneret, he may (if he has not done so already) establish a stronghold and clear the area around it of threats and hazards. He may then levy taxes on any inhabitants in the vicinity, collecting up to 10sp per month in return for protection. 



**Cavaliers: Optional rules**

**1) Knightly armour**:  The Cavalier's familiarity with armour and shields gives him or her a Saving Throw against being struck in melee.  The Saving Throw depends on the Cavalier's fighting style:



|  **FIGHTING STYLE**  |  **SAVING THROW**  |
|  Two weapon  |  20  |
|  Two-handed weapon  |  19  |
|  Single-handed weapon without shield  |  18  |
|  Single-handed weapon and shield  |  17  |



**2) Cavalryman/woman**: The Cavalier's focus on cavalry training means he or she only receives the benefit of weapon specialisation if fighting from horseback.

**3) One with mount**: The Cavalier can cause his or her steed to attack in melee.  Horse-like animals can deliver a bite to a foe in front of it or a kick with the rear hoofs to a foe behind.



**KUNG-FU MONK**
----


//Never forget that, at the most, the teacher can give you fifteen percent of the art. The rest you have to get for yourself through practise and hard work.//

// ////I can show you the path but I can not walk it for you.
//- Master Tan Soh Tin 



//I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but i fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times//

- Bruce Lee



The Kung-Fu Monk is a class inspired by Kwai Chang Caine in the 1970s TV series of the same name. In a conventional fantasy game based on Northern European legend, Kung-Fu Monks should be extremely rare--these characters are far out of place. They should hail from some Shaolin-esque monastery in a distant Orient (or possibly on an alternative Prime Material plane). 

Kung-Fu Monks suffer the following restrictions: First, the monk may never possess more than five magic items. Second, the monk must give away a tenth of any money that he or she receives to some Lawful cause, and if there is any money remaining after paying the monk's basic living costs, this surplus must be likewise donated. "Basic living costs" means very basic, for Kung-Fu Monks eat and drink very simply, are accustomed to living in a plain cell. Third, the monk loses all special powers while encumbered. The monk powers below only apply to unencumbered monks (i.e. those carrying less than 35 lbs weight). Fourth, the monk must be human. 

At some levels, the monk cannot gain the next experience level until he or she has performed a task set by a more senior monk to prove his or her worthiness. The GM should set an appropriate task, which is traditionally to best a monk of similar power in combat or contest, but in practice the monastery may prefer the monk to perform some other duty of roughly equivalent difficulty. This task is known as the quest. The quest will not be assigned until the monk has earned sufficient experience points to gain a level, and the monk will not be able to gain that level until the quest has been completed - so any experience points earned on the quest are lost.

The Kung-Fu Monk may use those magic items usable by Thieves, and no other classes. He or she begins the game with 1d4x10gp.

**Note**: Unlike Thieves and Assassins, the Kung-Fu Monk receives no skill adjustments for race or dexterity score. 

A monk using a weapon in a martial arts attack gets a choice: weapon damage+1/2 levels, or open hand damage +1 (irrespective of the weapon used). With the first option, the monk gets one attack per round. With the second, he or she gets normal open hand number of attacks. With the first option, if the weapon is magic the monk gets full bonus. With the second, if the weapon is magic then that doesn't enhance the monk's "to hit" or damage rolls, but it does enable him or her to hit a target that would normally only be hit by magical weapons. 



**ABILITIES **

**Prone Fighting: **A 1<sup>st</sup>-level Kung-Fu Monk can fight without penalty from a prone position, provided the character's arms and legs are free. 

**Feign Death**: From 2<sup>nd</sup>-level, the Kung-Fu Monk can feign death, slowing his or her heart rate and breathing to near-zero. This process can be performed at will, but it takes one round. The monk remains alert to his or her surroundings but cannot otherwise act while in this state. He or she can return to normal at will, taking one round to do so. 

**Throw Foe**: From 3<sup>rd</sup>-level, the Kung-Fu Monk can perform a judo throw on a foe. The target must be human, demi-human or humanoid and its level or hit dice must be lower than the monk's level. The monk declares the throw before the initiative dice are rolled, and sacrifices all of his or her attacks or other actions that round. The monk must roll a successful to-hit roll in melee to perform the throw. If successful, the target is thrown 1d10' in a direction chosen by the monk. The target will land prone and has a 50% chance of dropping anything it is carrying. It can get up next round but will lose all its actions in the process. The throw foe ability is particularly useful when fighting near a cliff, chasm or river. 

**Resist Mind Reading**: From 4<sup>th</sup>-level, the Kung-Fu Monk gets a Saving Throw at +4 vs any attempt to read his or her mind (whether via ESP or any other ability). 

**Blind Fighting**: Normally, fighting a target that cannot be seen (whether due to darkness, blindness, invisibility or any other factor) incurs a to-hit penalty of -4. A Kung-Fu Monk of 5<sup>th</sup>-level or higher has such keen hearing and such quick reactions that he or she disregards this penalty. 

**Heal Self**: Starting at 6<sup>th</sup>-level, the Kung-Fu Monk can enter a healing trance. While in the trance, the monk heals 1hp of damage per round. The trance lasts 1d4 rounds, plus one round per level of the monk above sixth (so for example a 10th level Kung-Fu Monk's trance would last for 1d4+4 rounds). This ability may be performed once per day. 

**Resist Fear**: At 7<sup>th</sup>-level, the Kung-Fu Monk's mental discipline is sufficient to control most forms of fear, even those induced by magic. The monk gets a Saving Throw against any fear effect that would not normally permit one. If the fear would normally allow a Saving Throw, the monk gets bonus of +4 on the roll. 

**Resist Poison**: From 8<sup>th</sup>-level, the Kung-Fu Monk's control over his or her body empowers the character to resist venoms and toxins. The monk gets a Saving Throw bonus of +4 against poison of any kind. 

**Enhanced Surprise**: A Kung-Fu Monk of 9<sup>th</sup>-level or higher reaches a new plane of alertness, such that he or she can only be surprised on a d6 roll of '1'. 

**Stunning Blow**: From 10<sup>th</sup>-level, the Kung-Fu Monk can perform a stunning strike on a foe. The target must be human, demi-human or humanoid and its level or hit dice must be lower than the monk's level. The monk declares the stunning strike before the initiative dice are rolled and sacrifices all of his or her attacks or other actions that round. The monk must roll a successful to-hit roll in melee to perform the strike. If successful, the target is incapacitated and unable to act for 2d4 rounds. 

**Catch Arrows**: At 11<sup>th</sup>-level or higher, the Kung-Fu Monk masters the discipline of yadomejutsu. He or she learns to avoid arrows, crossbow quarrels or hurled missiles, by dodging them, by knocking them aside with a hand, or even by catching them. The monk must have complete freedom of movement and at least one hand free; if so, he or she gains a Saving Throw against all launched or hurled missile attacks. The roll needed is 13 or higher on 1d20, reducing by 1 for each level the monk attains thereafter (so a nineteenth level monk would need a 5 or higher to avoid a missile attack). A roll of '1' is always a fail, and the monk cannot avoid very large missiles (e.g. those launched by a catapult or hurled by a giant). The power is also ineffective against arrows of slaying or spells of any kind (so a flame arrow or acid arrow spell would be unaffected). 

**Hold Breath**: From 12<sup>th</sup>-level, the Kung-Fu Monk can hold his or her breath for three rounds, increasing by one round for each level thereafter. (The monk can already reduce his or her breathing to near-zero by feigning death, but the hold breath ability enables the monk to act as normal without air.) 

**Resist Paralysis**: When the Kung-Fu Monk reaches 13<sup>th</sup>-level, the character achieves such perfect muscle control that paralysis of any kind is less likely to affect him or her. If the paralysis effect would not normally have a Saving Throw, then the monk gets a Saving Throw at normal chances. If the effect would normally allow a Saving Throw, the monk gets a bonus of +4 on his or her roll. 

**Resist Disease**: A 14<sup>th</sup> or higher level Kung-Fu Monk achieves such purity of body that he or she is able to shrug off diseases. If a disease effect would not normally have a Saving Throw, then the monk gets Saving Throw vs death to avoid it. If the effect would normally allow a Saving Throw, the monk gets a bonus of +4 on his or her roll. 

**Speak With Animals**: A Kung-Fu Monk at 15<sup>th</sup>-level is so in tune with nature that he or she can communicate with animals, as the Druidical spell //Speak with Animals//, at will. 

**See Invisible**: From 16<sup>th</sup>-level the Kung-Fu Monk's senses become so preternaturally sharp that he or she can perceive invisible creatures and objects within 30' purely because of the way they affect air currents around them. The monk can effectively "see" invisible. 

**Resist Psychic Barrage**: From 17<sup>th</sup>-level the Kung-Fu Monk is protected from the psychic barrage power possessed by certain monsters, rolling Saving Throws against it as if he or she has both Intelligence and Wisdom of 18. 

**Resist Petrifaction**: An 18<sup>th</sup>-level Kung-Fu Monk becomes harder to turn to stone. At this level the monk gets a Saving Throw vs. Petrifaction, even if the effect would not normally allow one. If a Saving Throw would normally be allowed, the monk rolls at +4. 

**Speak With Plants**: A 19<sup>th</sup>-level or higher level Kung-Fu Monk can communicate with vegetable life, as the Druidic spell //Speak with Plants//, at will. 

**Vibrating Palm**: At 20<sup>th</sup>-level, the Kung-Fu Monk achieves the ultimate monk power of the vibrating palm. This is the power to stop a creature's heart with a single, light touch of the fingers. The target must be human, demi-human or humanoid and its level or hit dice must be lower than the monk's level. The monk declares the vibrating palm strike before the initiative dice are rolled, and sacrifices all of his or her attacks or other actions that round. The monk must roll a successful to-hit roll in melee to perform the strike. If successful, the target's heart stops. It is incapacitated at once and will die in ten rounds. The monk can restart the creature's heart within the ten rounds by touching certain secret pressure points known only to the monk. No other force can save it. 



**TROUBADOUR**
----


//Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you//

- Bob Dylan //**Mr. Tambourine Man**//



//And then the great music of which the world is made took him over, //

//beyond thought, beyond control until he heard her cry his name //

//and they fell together off the edge of the world//.
― Jean Gill, __**Song at Dawn: 1150 in Provence**__



//A sword age, a wind age, a wolf age. No longer is there mercy among men//. 
― Snorri Sturluson, __**The Prose Edda**__



Troubadour is a masculine word. Its feminine form is "Trobairitz". Historically, they were a movement of poets and musicians from southern Europe who used certain Occipitan verse forms. In-game they represent a class of wandering poets, musicians and storytellers who feature heavily in __OSRIC__'s source literature―Fflewddur Fflam, Taillefer, Snorri Sturluson and Alan a Dale could all be represented by Troubadours. 

Troubadours have a few unique abilities of their own, which they combine with the ability to cast Druidic and Phantasmal spells. 

Troubadours suffer the following restrictions: First, the Troubadour may not wear rigid armour. Flexible armour types such as chain or scale are permitted, so the armour types a Troubadour may not wear are plate, banded and splinted. Second, Troubadours must be human, half-elven, elven, or (rarely) gnomish. Humans are unlimited in level. Half-elves are restricted to level 8, elves to level 6 and gnomes to level 5 as Troubadours. A demi-human Troubadour may multi-class as a Fighter/Troubadour or Thief/Troubadour.  Half-elves may also multi-class as Assassin/Troubadours or Ranger/Troubadours. No other multi-class combinations involving Troubadour are permitted. A multi-classed Troubadour suffers the Troubadour's restrictions on choice of armour, but may wield any weapon permitted by his or her other class.

Upon attaining level 3 the Troubadour learns to read the secret Illusionist script.  He or she will need to obtain or purchase a spellbook before being able to use Phantasmal magic.  Like an Illusionist, the Troubadour acquires one spell of his or her choice automatically upon gaining each level.  Additional spells may be scribed from scrolls or learned from Illusionists, provided the Troubadour passes his or her chance to know roll.  Unlike an Illusionist, the Troubadour may not research additional spells or create magic items.

The Troubadour may use those magic items which are usable by Thieves, Druids, and Illusionists. He or she begins the game with 3d6x10gp.

**Note**: Troubadours do not gain bonus Druid spells for having high wisdom. This ability is limited to "true" priests, i.e. Clerics or Druids. 



**TROUBADOUR CLASS ABILITIES**: 

All Troubadour class abilities are available from level 1.  The Troubadour may only use one ability at a time.  Make friends and influence is automatic, but all the other skills require a roll to use. 

**Make And Influence Friends**: A Troubadour shifts the initial reaction of monsters (excluding undead, golems and the like) one step if they hear his music before encountering him; this applies to monsters of lower level or hit dice to the Troubadour. So, a Troubadour of level 3 would shift the reaction of any monsters less than level 3 or 3 hit dice, from hostile to unfriendly for example.  Hit point bonuses count as an additional hit die for each complete multiple of 4, so for this purpose a monster with 2+3 hit dice would count as 2HD, 10+4 hit dice would count as 11HD, and 12+36 would count as 21HD. 

**Charm**: Charm resembles the Arcane spells //Charm Person// and/or //Charm Monster//.  It affects a maximum of one creature at a time.  The target must be of at least animal intelligence, neither undead nor extraplanar, up to the Troubadour's level in HD.  The target receives a Saving Throw vs spells (unlisted), modified by its wisdom bonus if applicable, to avoid the effects.  If the Saving Throw is failed the charm lasts only while the Troubadour continues to play and sing.  A charmed creature believes the Troubadour is a good friend, and behaves accordingly. If there's a shared language then the Troubadour can "sing" instructions which the creature will tend to follow, provided such instructions are not against the creature's nature or obviously self-destructive. 

This ability can also be used to counteract charm-like effects produced by creatures like harpies, sirens or vampires, provided the charming creature is of the Troubadour's hit dice or less.  If the Troubadour makes a successful skill roll the charm or charm-like effect is cancelled. 

**Mesmerise**: "Mesmerise" affects one or more creatures of at least animal intelligence, neither undead nor extraplanar, up to double the Troubadour's level in HD. Target creatures receive a Saving Throw vs magic, modified by their wisdom bonus if applicable, to avoid the effects.  If the Saving Throw is failed the mesmerisation lasts only while the bard plays and sings.  Mesmerised creatures will stand quietly, rapt and absorbed by the music, and ignoring other stimuli. 

Both mesmerisation and charm automatically end on one of the following events:

a) The creature is attacked, meaning someone rolls a to-hit roll with a melee or missile weapon where the creature is a target. If the creature feels it needs to defend itself, it is free to do so. 

b) The creature loses one or more hit points. Any kind of pain breaks a Troubadour's charm or mesmerisation. 

c) The music is interrupted. This happens if the Troubadour is struck by a weapon or missile (they can keep playing if the attack misses), or if the Troubadour fails a Saving Throw of any kind, or moves at more than half-speed. 

Neither skill is of infinite duration.  If the Troubadour uses them for protracted periods, re-check the skill with frequency according to the following table:



|  **HD OF MONSTERS MESMERISED **\\ **(AS FRACTION OF TROUBADOUR'S LVL)**  |  **RECHECK **\\ **SKILL FREQUENCY**  |
|  Half or less  |  Every 3 turns  |
|  Half to one  |  Every turn/10 rounds  |
|  One ot one and a half  |  Every 3 rounds  |
|  One and a half to two  |  Every round  |



**Lore**: This skill simulates the Troubadour's knowledge of poetry, literature, history and music.  A successful Lore skill roll enables the Troubadour to glean information about a legendary or famous person, creature, object or locale.  The information gained will be whatever is set out in myth, story or song (and thus may be out of date, exaggerated or even totally inaccurate).  

It is also the Troubadour's chance to identify commonplace magical items by examining them.  "Commonplace" means all potions and scrolls, common miscellaneous magic items (if the __OSRIC__ rules are in play then this means items from the Common Miscellaneous Magic Items table; if other rules are in play then it is GM discretion whether a miscellaneous magic item is "common"), and magical weapons and armour of up to and including +3 value.  In the case of a Druid scroll, an Illusionist scroll, a non-spell scroll, a potion or a common miscellaneous magic item, the Troubadour learns exactly what it is and does.  In the case of a Magic-User or Cleric scroll, the Troubadour learns that it is a spell scroll but cannot determine which spell.  In the case of a weapon or armour, the Troubadour learns its bonus but not its special powers. 

Occasionally Troubadours may glean command words, true names, or other well-hidden knowledge with this skill, the chance being ten percent of the lore percentage (or alternatively, rolled on a d1,000 rather than a d%).  For example, a 9<sup>th</sup>-level Troubadour with 17 Intelligence urgently wants to learn the true name of a certain six-armed demoness.  His lore percentage is 55%, so his chance to determine her true name is 5.5%. 

The command words of artifacts and relics, and the true names of unique demons and devils, may not be divined by this method. 

**Read Languages and Hear Noise**: These skills exactly resemble the Thief skills of the same name. 



**WITCH**
----


//Eye of newt, and toe of frog, 
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog, 
Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting, 
Lizard's leg, and owlet's wing,— 
For a charm of powerful trouble, 
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble. 
Double, double toil and trouble; 
Fire burn, and caldron bubble//.
― William Shakespeare, __**Macbeth**__





Witches are people with mystic vision. They can see into the spirit world and converse with entities imperceptible to others. They draw on ancestors or local gods for power, rather than on the major or worldwide pantheons worshipped by Clerics. Examples of such characters from literature include Robert E. Howard's Pictish wizard Zogar Sag, Leiber's Snow Women, or Ursula Le Guin's Village Witches. In traditional Western European-style campaigns, they may come from less technologically advanced tribal cultures. 

The Witch is meant to cleave to __OSRIC__'s source literature, which contains few Clerical archetypes.  In campaigns or parties without Clerics, Witches can to some extent fill their shoes.  Alternatively Witches can work alongside Clerics, since the two classes' abilities do not necessarily overlap. 

Humans, Half-Elves and Half-Orcs may be Witches. Half-Elves and Half-Orcs are limited to level 6 at the highest. A Witch may be of any alignment. 

A Witch must have a minimum Wisdom of 9, a minimum Constitution of 9, and a minimum Charisma of 10. Their prime requisites are Wisdom and Charisma and they receive a 10% experience bonus if both exceed 15.

The Witch may use those magic items which are usable by Clerics. He or she begins the game with 2d6x10gp.



**The Witch Character **

**Minimum Scores**: Str 6, Dex 6, Con 9, Int 6, Wis 9, Cha 10 

**Hit Die Type**: d6 (max 10)

**Experience Bonus**: Both Wisdom and Charisma 15+ 

**Armour/Shield Permitted**: Leather or padded armour only, with or without a shield 

**Weapons Permitted**: Club, dagger, hand axe, knife, sling, spear, staff. 

**Weapon Proficiencies**: 2 + 1 every 3 levels 

**Penalty To-Hit For Non-Proficiency**: -4

**WITCH CLASS ABILITIES**: 

**Second Sight**: This is the Witch's innate power to see invisible things and detect magical auras. The Witch spends one turn concentrating and has the percentage chance listed to see invisible or detect magic. 

**Contact Spirit**: This is the Witch's chance to speak with the local spirits, if any. Although certain spirits can be helpful, as a general rule spirits are often mischievous and much of what they have to say is likely to be disinformation.

__OSRIC__ uses an adjective for each spell grouping.  Clerical spells are "Divine", Druid spells "Druidic", Magic-User spells "Arcane" and Illusionist spells "Phantasmal".  Witch spells are called "Occult".

Occult spells are not automatically known.  They must be acquired, but they differ from arcane and phantasmal spells in that there is no "chance to learn" them: Witches always understand any spell they find.  Witches have no need for spellbooks.  Knowledge of a Witch spell is traditionally passed on by word of mouth.  Spells can also be taught by a spirit that knows the spell.

As a result of his or her initial training, a Witch may select six first level spells.  Thereafter, spirits will teach the Witch one new spell each time he or she gains a level.  The Witch may choose this new spell from all those he or she can cast at the new level, so for example a Witch advancing to second level may choose a first or second level spell.

Other spells may be taught by other Witches (PC or NPC) or received from a coven.



**Covens**

Covens are groupings of three to thirteen Witches.  There will be a coven leader.  When a PC Witch joins a coven, he or she will naturally be the newest and most junior member.  The coven may teach Witch spells to loyal coven members, typically in return for a payment or service.

The game function of a coven is to add flavour, provide reasons to adventure and to help siphon off the party's excess cash.  GMs using Witches in their campaigns are advised to develop one or more covens and populate them with NPCs.  Inter-coven rivalry is encouraged.

**FEATURE DESCRIPTIONS**

**Arrow Slits**: Narrow openings, less than 1' width, through which defenders loose arrows.

**Arrow Slits**, **Crossletted**: Cross-shapped arrow slit (see above).

**Barbicans**: fortified, structures. They are often used to protect a gate or bridge. A barbican is a battlemented structure consisting of two, round towers (30'd/30'h) connected by a building (20'w/30'l/20'h)

**Bartizans**: Small, protruding turreted towers used as platforms to provide flanking missile fire along the outside of defensive walls.

**Batters/Plinths/Splays**: Slopes at the base of a wall to baffle assaults against the wall.

**Battlements**: fortifcations atop walls that include embrasures, the parapet and merlons, providing cover for the defenders.  Typically, 14' of battlement includes two merlons (4'w) and two embrasures (3'w).  A catwalk may be required for narrow battlements.

**Buildings, Stone**: Structures of 1' thick dressed or field stone (exterior dim.: 120'w/120'l/20'h). The buildings consist of a ground floor, wooden 2nd floor, wooden attic, peaked roof and one wooden door.   Add 10% of the initial cost for each additional 1' course of stone.

**Buttresses, Stone**: Reinforcing support walls for curtain walls or towers.  Buttressing a wall up to 20' requires three buttress sections.  

**Catwalks, Wooden**: Stout platforms (3'w) built on walls or pallisades that allow defenders to shoot or fight over the battlements.

**Ditches**: Excavated trenches.  The side of the trench may be sloped, compacted, sodded or any combination thereof.   The cost of any earthen rampart built immediately adjacent a side of a dich is reduced 80%.

**Doors, Trap**: Sturdy, 2" thick wooden doors set into floors.  A trap door is opened using an iron ring bolted to the door.

**Doors, Wooden**: Stout, 3" thick hardwood door.  The wooden bar for these doors is 2"x4".

**Doors, Wooden, Reinforced**: Oaken doors, bound in iron bands and secured by 3"x6" oak bar.

**Drawbridges**: Bridges which may be raised and lowered by attached chains.  A drawbridge is constructed of iron-bound, 6" planks.  The chains pass through the walls of the fortication, and the bride is raised and lowered through mechanism consisting of a winch, capstan, ratchet and pawl.

**Embrasure Shutters**: A pair of wooden panels to cover an embrasure.  They may be raised to from the bottom to allow missile fire.

**Gates**: A pair of reinforced doors (each 5'w/12'h).

**Windows, Shuttered**: Covered by 1" thick wooden shutters.

**Windows, Barred**: Metal bars placed to prevent access through the aperture.



**DRUIDIC SITES AND MONUMENTS**



At 9<sup>th</sup>-level a Druid may begin seeking a sacred site to harness natural and elemental power. Such sites are usually found in wild natural areas, though some may have already been harnessed by previous Druids or fey beings. First the Druid should decide the place to begin his or her search. There is a 10% chance of there being a suitable site within 1d3 miles of this location and a 20% chance of there being a site with 1d6 miles (roll 1d8 for direction: 1 N, 2 NE, 3 E, 4 SE, 5 S, 6 SW, 7 W, 8 NW). The search will take one day for every mile. If no site is found the Druid must wait one lunar month before beginning a new search. A Druid aware of the existence of an ancient site, marked by a menhir or other monument may choose to use that instead of searching. Only one Druid may control a given site, though other Druids may remain in a subservient role. Roll on the table below for the nature of the found site:



|  **D%**  |  **SITE**  |
|  01-10  |  Brook  |
|  11-19  |  Copse  |
|  20-35  |  Cove  |
|  36-50  |  Forest Clearing (not oak)  |
|  51-60  |  Oak Grove  |
|  61-80  |  Hill  |
|  81-95  |  Small Cave  |
|  96-00  |  Mountain Crest  |
|Each site has a 15% chance of being previously marked.||



The sacred site exists in threefold space - being simultaneously present on the Material, Astral and Æthereal planes. Within the confines of the grove, the controlling Druid, and those he or she invites, can freely move between the 3 planes. Within the astral plane the area delimited by the sacred site is sealed off and impenetrable to all but the most powerful beings (this includes the Druid unless dolmens are constructed).  Within the æthereal plane the area is much as it appears on the material plane - though unlike most of the material plane, the area and any monuments upon it are as solid as they are on the material plane (so ghosts and other æthereal beings can no more pass through a menhir or other obstacle than can a man in material form). 

Within the area of the site the Druid's power is increased, though this power waxes and wanes with astronomical cycles. When a full moon is above the horizon, the Druid's effective level is increased by 3 within the site, and when a waxing or waning moon is above the horizon, the Druid's effective level is increased by 1. The Druid obtains no bonus when the moon is absent (excepting lunar eclipses). These bonuses increase caster level, Hit Dice (the hit points gained are immediately lost upon leaving the site), attack rolls and Saving Throws. Note that Druids do not gain extra spells from these extra levels. 

During the summer solstice and winter equinox, the controlling Druid's effective level is increased by 5 and the level of any other Druids is increased by 3. During an alignment or eclipse, the Druid's level is increased by a further 1. All bonuses are cumulative (so a Druid's power is increased by 9 levels during a solstice which coincides with a full moon and eclipse) 



**MENHIRS **

Menhirs are huge standing stones which the Druid must have transported to the site and erected by non-magical means. The Druid can choose upon erecting the menhir imbue it with a single spell he or she is able to cast - to do this the Druid must fast for 3 days (during which time the Druid may neither cast spells nor engage in combat) and cast the spell thrice (the Druid must be capable of casting the spell three times in succession) on the third day during a full moon. Additional steps may be required at the GM's discretion. 



**The following spells may be imbued in menhirs: **

//Animal Growth //

//Anti-Animal Shell //

//Anti-Plant Shell //

//Call Woodland beings //

//Call Lightning //

//Commune with Nature //

//Control Weather //

//Control Temperature //

//Conjure Elemental //(any) 

//Cure Disease //

//Cure Wounds //(any) 

//Dispel Magic //

//Entangle //

//Faery Fire //

//Hallucinatory Forest //

//Obscurement //

//Protection from Fire //

//Protection from Lightning //

//Reincarnate //

//Repel Insects// 



Spells are cast at the same level as the Druid and may be used once per day. Each menhir is imbued with sufficient wit and intelligence to use the spell independently of the Druid. 



**DOLMENS **

** **	These are huge horizontal stone slabs supported by two or more vertical slabs. These may be placed singly (as menhirs), in circles, or used as entrances to a cave or other area. Dolmens serve two purposes, they can act as portals - allowing the Druid and accompanying allies to step in and out of the area delimited by the sacred grove on any of the threefold planes (material, astral or æthereal) by simply walking under the dolmen. The portal remains impenetrable to other astral or æthereal beings. 

In addition dolmens act as reservoirs of power, ensuring that the cyclical level bonus never falls below +2, even at its lowest ebb. 



**HENGES**

Henges may be formed of trees, wooden posts, menhirs or dolmens. Within the circle a High Druid may use his shapechange ability to take on the form of an elemental, with HD equal to his level. 



**OAK TREES**

These may act as //Plant Doors//, be animated (in which case the animated trees can attack æthereal and astral beings), produce a //Wall Of Thorns// or cast //Confusion//. Each tree in the grove must be imbued with the spells in the same way as menhirs. 





**CHALK MAN OR BEAST**

 	These are huge depictions of men, horses or other natural beasts dug into hill or mountain sides and covered with chalk to render them visible. 

A chalk man increases the yield of any crops within 3 miles and the fertility of any livestock that graze upon the area, even ordinary humans or demi-humans who sleep upon the chalk man will have their fertility increased. Grateful locals will pass on this benefit to the Druid in terms of increased tithes and donations (50% higher than normal). 

In addition the Druid may at any time observe the landscape through the chalk man's eyes. Once per year a Supreme Druid may command the Chalk Man to walk the earth as a titan from sunrise to sunset or from sunset to sunrise - though he may not travel more than a single mile from his hill.



**PLAYER CHARACTER FOLLOWERS**
----


**GENERAL NOTE**

Except for the Paladin's Warhorse, followers are attracted when, and not until, the player character both attains the necessary level (which varies from class to class) and establishes a stronghold. The followers are in addition to any henchmen or hirelings the character has, and do not count against the character's charisma-based limit on subordinate NPCs. The followers will require room, board, and unless they are apprentices, pay. If their needs are unsupplied for long they will leave.



**ASSASSIN**

Assassins receive followers at 14<sup>th</sup>-level. These are the basis of a new Assassins' Guild. There is likely to be hostility with the Assassin's Guild that previously claimed the area in question.

Roll 6d4 for the number of followers:

**Amazon Character Class Abilities**

**Bonus Attacks:** Amazons gain bonus attacks at higher levels as do Fighters.

**Minimal Armour**: Amazons prize their mobility above all else. Regardless of whatever type of armour they choose to wear, they will discard all but the most critical pieces (e.g. breastplate, helmet, greaves, pauldrons, and gauntlets). Their unique ability allows them to halve the encumbrance value of any kind of armour while still retaining the Armour Class of the original. Non-Amazons who wear such armour gain no such benefits and indeed will suffer a detrimental AC modifier of +1 to +4. An Amazon requires 1d6 turns to configure a new suit of armour to her figure.

**War Cry**: Prior to engaging in melee, an Amazon may shout a blood-curdling war-cry that will give her a +1 to-hit or damage (her choice). Further, all enemies within hearing range must Save vs. Spells or suffer a -1 to-hit/-1 to damage while attacking her (only). Shouting a war-cry takes one full round and its effects will last for 1d8 rounds. An Amazon may shout a war-cry once per day for every three levels (rounded down).

**Mounted Mistress**: An Amazon has extensive knowledge and skill with a single type of mount favoured by her particular clan; furthermore, she may treat one such mount she is familiar with as though it is affected by an //Animal Friendship// spell. Some of the more common Amazon tribes and their preferred mounts are listed in the subtable below.



|  **TRIBAL TYPE**  |  **PREFERRED MOUNT(S)**  |
|  Bear  |  Brown Bears, Polar Bears  |
|  Boar  |  Giant Boars  |
|  Camel  |  Camels  |
|  Dinosaur  |  Sauropods, Ceratopsians  |
|  Elephant  |  Elephants, Mammoths, Mastodons  |
|  Horse  |  Horses, Pegasi, Zebras,  |
|  Rhinoceros  |  Rhinoceri, Indricotheriums  |
|  Tiger  |  Tigers, Smilodons  |
|  Wolf  |  Dire Wolves, Giant Wolverines  |

 

**Insidious Ambush**: Warfare in the wild places where Amazons dwell rarely takes the form of open battle, the terrain and mentality of those who dwell there is better suited to sudden attacks from hidden vantages. As a result, the Amazon character is well versed in both the laying and detection of ambushes, increasing their chance of surprise by 1-in-6 and reducing their chance of being surprised by the same.

**Battle Rage**: When an Amazon is within range of her foe(s) and decides to engage in melee, she may choose to become become //enraged//. Once //enraged//, she cannot withdraw from combat unless all foes are dead, the //battle rage// ends, or there are no possible means of inflicting damage (e.g. a foe requires a magical weapon to-hit and the Amazon has only non-magical weaponry). While //enraged//, the Amazon may choose to either gain a +2 to-hit and normal number of attacks per round or additional multiple attacks per round (see sub-table below). Battle rage lasts for 2d4 rounds plus 1 round for every experience level above 1st. For example, an 8<sup>th</sup>-level Amazon would remain enraged for 9-15 rounds. Once the duration has expired, an Amazon may not again become enraged until they have rested for as many turns as they spent enraged.  



|  **AMAZON LEVEL**  |  **# ATK/RND**  |
|  1-7  |  2/1  |
|  8-12  |  5/2  |
|  13+  |  3/1  |



**Amazon Followers**: 

Once they reach 9<sup>th</sup>-lvl Amazons begin to attract followers as a Barbarian. These may be randomly diced for or selected by the GM as seems most appropriate in the context of the campaign.

Anti-paladins are the champions of Chaotic Evil; human cultists in the service of Demon Lords. No act of cruelty or vile betrayal is beyond their capacity. Indeed, senseless violence, blind depravity, and pernicious corruption are their very trademarks. Few societies will tolerate an Anti-Paladin in their midst, and even fewer actually condone them. As a result, Anti-Paladins are proficient at operating alone and disguising themselves as the member of another profession - usually a Fighter or a Thief.  

Anti-Paladins have the same restrictions as Paladins. They may never possess more than 10 magic items, including only one suit of magical armor and one magical shield.  They are also required to tithe at least 10% of their wealth, and to supply a living sacrifice to their demonic patrons - at least once per level. Unlike Paladins, they have no restrictions on which alignments they may associate with. Indeed, in the cause of Chaos, they may actively seek to infiltrate and corrupt Lawful or Good groups or communities. However, an Anti-Paladin who changes his alignment from Chaotic Evil will be instantly slain by his infernal master and his soul will be forfeit to the flames of the Abyss.

Upon their deaths, certain high-level Anti-Paladins may be transformed into a Demon Knight (1% chance/level) - a particularly powerful form of undead, as a reward for their faithful service.

**Patron Demonic Lords**

Anti-Paladins are the earthly servants of the Demon Lords. Each will have but one patron Lord, to whom he has traded his soul they have traded their soul to.  In return for this bargain, the Anti-Paladin receives certain material or magical boons. Some of the more common Demon Lords that can be selected as a patron, and their associated boons, are listed below. The GM should feel free to create additional patrons & boons to suit his own campaign.



**The Lord of Slaughter (Koschei)**

**Description**: Anti-Paladins who serve The Lord of Slaughter are marked by their bloodlust and utter disregard for life. They revel in senseless violence and will seek out combat just for a chance to inflict more pain and suffering. The anti-paladins of The Lord of Slaughter lead or belong to a variety of cults, but in civilized lands they are known as the Death Dealers. They favor wickedly spiked and barbed two-handed weapons and armours, the latter painted in garish blood red and black.      

**Boons**: Gain +2 hit points per level.  Like berserkers, they are fearless in battle and may attack twice per round or once with a +2 to-hit.  

**Sacrifice**: Sacrificial combat with one or more foes whose total HD is equal to or greater than the anti-paladin's HD.

**Preferred Armour**: Any

**Preferred Weaponry**: Footman's flail, Two-handed Sword, Morning Star, Glaive, Bardiche, Battleaxe

**Special Weaponry**: Flaming oil

**Unholy Symbol**: Interlocking tentacle and flail



**The Lord of the Tomb (Orcus)**

**Description**: The Anti-Paladins of The Lord of the Tomb are remarkable for their unhealthy resemblance to, and familiarity with, the undead; particularly ghouls. Anti-Paladins of The Lord of the Tomb may belong to a secret order known as the //Eaters of the Dead//, a particularly vile cult that practices extreme forms of cannibalism and demonic necromancy as well as graverobbing and ritual desecration.

**Boons**: Anti-Paladins of The Lord of the Tomb are immune to the paralysis of ghouls. At 3<sup>rd</sup>-lvl and higher they gain the ability to //control undead// as an evil-aligned cleric, two levels lower than the Anti-Paladin's level, once per week.

**Sacrifice**: Only human sacrifices are accepted and must have a total HD equal to or greater than the Anti-Paladin's.

**Preferred Armour**: Any

**Preferred Weaponry**: Mace and morningstar

**Special Weaponry**: Poison

**Unholy Symbol**: Skull and crossbones



**The Lord of Pestilence** **(Juiblex)**

**Description**: Anti-Paladins of The Lord of Pestilence are known as the //Riders of the// 7 //Plagues //or the //Unclean Horsemen//, and it is their mission to spread disease and affliction wherever they go, either subtly or through more shocking means. The Anti-Paladins of The Lord of Pestilence are universally filthy, often tying strips of plague shrouds or diseased rags about their armor, which is often painted in their favored putrid greens and purples.

**Boons**: Anti-Paladins of The Lord of Pestilence are immune to normal disease (although not magical 'diseases' such as lycanthropy or mummy rot). Anti-Paladins can //Cause Disease// (as the reverse cleric spell //Cure Disease//) by touch, once per week. Anti-Paladins of higher than 5<sup>th</sup> level may do so twice per week, and those higher than 10<sup>th </sup>level thrice per week.

**Sacrifice**: Human or demi-human sacrifices are preferred and must have a total HD equal to or greater than the anti-paladin's HD.

**Preferred Armour**: Any

**Preferred Weaponry**: Two-handed sword, Hammer, Footman's Flail

**Special Weaponry**: Slime and  disease

**Unholy Symbol**: Bleeding eye



**The Hound of Perversion (Fraz-Urb'luu)**

**Description**: The Anti-Paladins of The Hound of Perversion belong to a cult known as the //Hounds of Perdition//. They often operate undercover as high-placed gigolos or courtesans - a position which allows them to engage in all manner of lewd debauchery. In combat, they are graceful and deadly, their armor decorated with flowing silk, and their faces hidden behind veils.

**Boons**: Anti-Paladins of The Hound of Perversion are immune to charm and beguiling spells. At 3<sup>rd</sup> level, once per day the anti-paladin may //Beguile//, as the 2<sup>nd</sup>-level cleric spell. Anti-Paladins of higher than 5<sup>th</sup> level may do so twice per week, and those higher than 10<sup>th </sup>level thrice per week.

**Sacrifice**: Human or demi-human sacrifices are accepted and must be of the opposite sex and have a total HD equal to or greater than the anti-paladin's HD.

**Preferred Armour**: Studded leather

**Preferred Weaponry**: Whip, Bardiche, Dart, Daggerm, Short Sword

**Special Weaponry**: Poison and  acid

**Unholy Symbol**: Arrow pierced heart



**The Lord & Lady of Pain (Pazuzu)**

**Description**: The Anti-Paladins of The Lord & Lady of Pain belong to the mostly female //Cult of the Heartless Shrew//. Their trademark is the slaughter of innocents and inciting genocidal purges. In combat these Anti-Paladins often wear silver or white - colors easily marred by the bloodstains of their victims.

**Boons**: May //Curse// their opponents (as the reverse of the 1<sup>st</sup>-lvl cleric spell //bless//) once per day. At 3<sup>rd</sup>-level they gain the ability to cast //Cause Light Wounds//, (as the reverse of the 1<sup>st</sup>-lvl Cleric spell //Cure Light Wounds//), two levels lower than the Anti-Paladin's level, once per day.

**Sacrifice**: Any group of sentient sacrifices are accepted and must have a total HD equal to three times the anti-paladin's HD.

**Preferred Armour**: Scalemail

**Preferred Weaponry**: Warhammer, Military fork, Spear

**Special Weaponry**: Acid and flaming oil

**Unholy Symbol**: Cat-o-nine-tails



**The Beast Lord (Baphomet)**

**Description**: Anti-Paladins of The Beast Lord are feared for their insane bloodlust and propensity for cannibalism - traits they share with the minotaurs whom they lead in battle. They can be found in uncivilized, chaotic lands where they are known as the //Beastlords//. These Anti-Paladins often go into battle painted or tattooed with demonic symbols and wearing trophies of past victims (ears, fingers, and shrunken heads are common).

**Boons**: They are fearless in battle and may attack with a +2 to-hit or damage for up to 3 turns, once per day. When attracting henchmen, they may always opt for a minotaur in lieu of any other creature.

**Sacrifice**: Any single human, humanoid or monster sacrifices slain in personal combat are accepted and must have a total HD equal to one and a half times the anti-paladin's HD.

**Preferred Armour**: Chainmail and horned great helm

**Preferred Weaponry**: Battleaxe and club

**Special Weaponry**: Poison

**Unholy Symbol**: Horned skull



**Anti-Paladin Class Abilities**

**Detect Good**: An Anti-paladin may detect good up to 60' at will, provided he or she concentrates on doing so.

**Protection from Good 10' radius**:  An Anti-paladin radiates an aura equivalent to the reverse of the Cleric spell //Protection from Evil 10' Radius//. 

**Lay on Hands**: Once per day, the anti-paladin may heal 2 hit points/level to himself or any creature touched (e.g. a 3<sup>rd</sup>-level anti-paladin would heal 6hp with this ability). Anti-paladins may also cause one point of damage per level if the victim fails a saving throw versus death. He must choose one or the other each day, not both.

**Summon Nightmare Steed** (4<sup>th</sup>-level):  At   4<sup>th</sup>-level, the Anti-paladin   may summon a Nightmare Steed, a demonic warhorse with enhanced hit points, intelligence and movement speed.  Such a steed may be called only once every ten years, and usually requires the completion of a quest to actually find the Steed. 

**Backstab**: Anti-Paladins have the ability to backstab as a Thief of the same level.

**Clerical Spellcasting** (9<sup>th</sup>-level): Anti-Paladins gain the ability to cast certain Divine spells at 9<sup>th</sup> level as a Paladin. Because of their alignment, they may only be granted reversed spells or spells with the capability of doing harm. They do not receive any additional spells for high WIS scores as Clerics do. They may not use Clerical scrolls or other Clerical magic items unless such are also allowed for Fighters. 

**Hirelings & Followers** (9<sup>th</sup>-level): Anti-Paladins may employ hirelings as do other classes. Beginning at 9<sup>th</sup>-level they will attract 1d20 followers. Followers may not necessarily be human, and may even be monsters, demons or undead. Consult the Anti-Paladin Followers table to determine exact types. 

**Strongholds**: Anti-Paladins may construct a castle or a hideout, but will not attract any henchmen followers until 9<sup>th</sup>-level (see above). 

**Poison Usage**: Like Assassins, Anti-Paladins are not inherently more skilled at using or formulating poisons than any other character class capable of using poison, but generally have more opportunities to gain knowledge of poisons and their effects.



**Anti-Paladin Followers**

Anti-Paladins receive followers at level 9. These may be randomly diced for as below or selected by the GM as seems most appropriate in the context of the campaign.

//Men saw that a great bear went before King Hrolf's men, keeping always near the king. He slew more men with his forepaws than any five of the king's champions.

The Berserker class is a variant of the Fighter. Berserkers are always humans with both a Strength and Constitution greater than 9, and an Intelligence less than 12. Their alignment must be either Neutral or Chaotic, never Lawful; and they may be good, evil or true neutral. Only Humans can become Berserkers. 

1<sup>st</sup>-level Berserkers have a maximum allowable armour class of 6, and prefer to fight with as little encumbrance as possible. Instead, they rely upon their gods for protection from wounds. As a Berserker rises in level and earns more favour from the gods, their maximum allowable AC decreases. No Berserkers may wear magic armour or wield magic weapons, but otherwise may use any magical items available to Fighters. Berserkers earn normal experience bonuses for high STR, and also earn double experience points for slain foes up until they earn were-brother status. 

Berserkers are all shield-brothers in a particular clan: the Rat, Wolf, Boar, Tiger, or Bear. Each Berserker clan has a single Clan Master, who achieves and defends their position through personal combat. Clan members will show hospitality and aid toward their fellows whenever possible. Inhospitable or dishonourable behaviour will result in the Berserker being outlawed and exiled from the clan. Only the Clan Master is permitted to hire outside hirelings, and even they will have reservations about serving such a band of reckless madmen. 

In addition, were-brothers have the ability to speak the lycanthropic language in human form, and can communicate simple commands to normal animals of that type. 



**Berserker Followers **

At 9<sup>th</sup>-level, Berserkers will attract 2d6 followers with a loyalty of 16 + any applicable CHA bonuses. If slain, these followers will not be replaced. To determine the exact type of followers attracted, use the table below: 



|  **D%**  |  **FOLLOWER**  |
|  01-55  |  Human Fighter  |
|  56-65  |  Human Druid  |
|  66-75  |  Human Cleric  |
|  76-85  |  Human Thief  |
|  86-95  |  Human Magic-User  |
|  96-00  |  Special Follower *  |

|  81-90  |  5<sup>th</sup>-lvl  |
|  91-99  |  6<sup>th</sup>-lvl  |

|  **D%**  |  **SPECIAL FOLLOWER TYPE**  |

|  76-85  |  Ranger (Roll for Level)  |

**Berserker Special Abilities **

**Battle-Lust**: Berserkers have a base 10% chance to 'go berserk' in melee combat.  This ability can only be attempted once per fight. A Berserker will remain berserk for a number of melee rounds equal to their Constitution. The following table denotes the modifiers to this basic chance: 



|  **SITUATION**  |  **ADJUSTMENT**  |
|  Voluntarily 'biting one's shield'  |  +20% (once only)  |
|  Each round of melee already completed  |  +10% (cumulative)  |
|  Witnessing a Shield-Brother/Sister or follower's death  |  +10% (cumulative)  |
|  Witnessing a henchman's death  |  Automatic  |



Foes of a Berserker of average or better Intelligence must check if subject to morale. Berserkers themselves may not retreat or withdraw from melee while in a berserk state. While berserk, all attacks are at +2 to-hit and damage in addition to any normal Strength bonuses. If melee ends before the berserk state ends, there is a non-cumulative 10% per round that the Berserker will turn on their own comrades. As long as they remain berserk, a Berserker is immune to sleep and charm spells. Once the berserk state has passed, the Berserker will attack at -2 to-hit and damage until melee ends, whereupon they must rest for one full turn regardless of the duration of the melee. 

When the Berserker earns were-brother status, they will always take that were-form when berserk, and benefit from all of the applicable to-hit and damage bonuses of the lycanthrope in question and may attack creatures only vulnerable to magic or silver weapons. None of the other lycanthropic characteristics are applied however, and they are not susceptible to silver, wolfsbane or the like. In melee, a were-brother will retain their lycanthropic form until the end of melee whether or not they are still berserk or not, but otherwise they are subject to the same restrictions as the shield-brothers. 

**Weapon Specialisation**: Berserkers gain the benefits of weapon specialisation (Optional rules detailed in this volume).

**Red-Handed Slayer**: When fighting foes with less than one hit die each, Berserkers gain one attack per level per round.

**Widow-Maker**: As the Barbarian special ability.



**ELEMENTALIST**//** **//
----
//The force that unites the elements to become all things is Love, also called Aphrodite; Love brings together dissimilar elements into a unity, to become a composite thing. Love is the same force that human beings find at work in themselves whenever they feel joy, love and peace. Strife, on the other hand, is the force responsible for the dissolution of the one back into its many, the four elements of which it was composed.//

- Empedocles



Elementalists are specialist Magic-Users who dedicate themselves to the study and manipulation of the magics of the four Primal Elements: Earth, Air, Fire and Water. Their single-minded pursuit limits the types and numbers of spells available to them, but nevertheless, they can become quite powerful and knowledgeable at higher levels. 

Elementalists study esoteric languages and fields of study related to their profession as would a sage (See __OSRIC__ pp 132). These are noted on the table above. Elementalists may only choose from the following additional languages: Dragon (Green, Red), Merman, Locathah, Nixie, Pegasus, Pixie, Sahuagin, Sea Elf, Sprite, Sylph, Titan, or Triton. 

They can detect gasses of all types within 60' and have the ability to identify minerals, fresh water, and unsafe construction and traps (as a dwarf). Elementalists also gain a +2 to their Saving Throws vs. all element-based attacks. 

Elementalists have the ability to influence all types of elementals encountered. The 'Neutral' column in the table shows the percentage chance the elemental will either ignore the elementalist or return to their home plane. The 'Friendly' column shows the percentage chance the elementalist can gain control of the elemental for 1d6 turns. This ability may also be used to influence elementals already under the control of another. Two elementalists vying for control must compare their two scores from the 'Friendly' column. The elementalist with the higher score will subtract the lower's score to determine the percentage chance of  wresting or maintaining control. The elementalist with the lower score will have no chance of wresting or maintaining such control whatsoever. 

Only Humans may become Elementalists. 



**Minimum Scores**: INT 14, WIS 16 

**Hit Die Type**: d4 (max 16) 

**Experience Bonus**: INT 17+ and WIS 17+

**Elementalist Spell List**

Elementalists have access to the following spells (c.f. __OSRIC__ & Chapter 6 of this volume). Except for the level at which they have access to certain spells, all should be considered identical to the Arcane, Divine, Druidic, Maleficent or Occult spell of the same name. Elementalist spells however do not require any special material components as they depend entirely on the elements already present in the local environment.

**FREEMAN (Optional)**



Freemen (or Freewomen) are normal, non-adventuring NPCs. This class is presented to allow the GM to include some variation amongst these characters beyond Normal Men/0-lvl Fighters. 



**Minimum Scores**: Any

**Hit Die Type**: d6 (max 10)

**Alignment**: Any

**Experience Bonus**: None

**Armour and Shield Permitted**: As Fighter

**Weapons Permitted**: Any, but only ever proficient in one

**Weapon Proficiencies**: 1

**Penalty for Non-Proficiency**: -5

**Attack**: as Magic-User

**Saving Throw**: as Fighter



Freemen do not gain experience or levels as do adventuring classes. The GM should assign a Freeman a level commenserate with their relative influence, wealth, or social standing. An apprentice blacksmith for example might be a 1<sup>st</sup>-lvl Freeman, a Master Blacksmith a 5<sup>th</sup>-lvl Freeman while a noblewoman ruling over an entire town might be a 10<sup>th</sup>-lvl Freewoman. 

Freeman can use both flaming oil and poison as well as any magic items usable by Fighters or Thieves. 



**INQUISITOR **



//Therefore in the Third Part of this work we shall treat the extermination of witches, which is the ultimate remedy. For this is the last recourse of the Church, to which she is bound by Divine commandment. For it has been said: Ye shall not suffer witches to live upon the earth. And with this will be included the remedies against arch-wizards; since this kind can only be exterminated by secular law//. 



   - __//**Malleus Maleficarum**//__



The Inquisitor is trained to track down and eliminate rogue Magic-Users, members of illegal cults and supernatural horrors. An inquisitor may not necessarily oppose all Magic-Users, in fact many may even be employed by wizard guilds to deal with rogue elements. Other inquisitors may be employed by a temple, church or kingdom. 

At 10<sup>th</sup>-level inquisitors may establish their own inquisition operating in any major town or kingdom. Only humans or Dwarfs may be inquisitors, and Dwarf inquisitors have a level limit of 5. 



**Minimum Scores**: Con 10, Wis 12, Cha 14 

**Hit Die Type**: d8 (max 10) 

**Alignment**: Any lawful 

**Experience Bonus**: Charisma 16+ 

**Armour and Shield Permitted**: As Cleric 

**Weapons Permitted**: Any 

**Weapon Proficiencies**: 2 + 1 per 3 levels 

**Penalty for Non-Proficiency**: -4 

**Attack**: as Clerics

**NECROMANCER**
----


//Like graven mountains of basalt,
Dark idols of my demons there
Shall tower through bright zones of air,
Fronting the sun with level stare;
And hell shall pave my deepest vault.//

- Clark Ashton Smith,** **__//**Song of the Necromancer**//__



Necromancers are supremely evil (and foolhardy) NPC spellcasters who specialize in death magic and the study of the undead. Unlike normal Magic-Users who must continually memorize new spells, Necromancers have traded their souls to an arch-devil for a truly permanent connection to their source of power. Only Humans can become Necromancers. 

Their evil practices and dealings with Hell take a considerable toll on the sanity and physical appearance of the Necromancer. Necromancers increasingly become more and more corpse-like in appearance as they grow in experience - their skin  progressively takes on an unhealthy pallor and their eyes develop a growing sensitivity to sunlight. Their personality becomes morbidly misanthropic and solitary, even as the stench of the graves in which they work surrounds them. For each higher level of experience they will lose 1 point of Charisma until reaching 0. At this point no living being, regardless of alignment,  willingly tolerates the Necromancer's presence. Townspeople will form mobs and try to hunt them down and paladins will  undertake quests to slay them.  Necromancers never attract henchmen, although they may enslave or pay humanoids or other monsters to serve as their agents. Once the Necromancer's charisma reaches 0, however, even humanoids will seek to flee from this loathsome master. 

Necromancers are required to make periodic sacrifices to their Arch-devil master, in addition to any other sacrifices they might perform. If they do not make an appropriate sacrifice in the allotted time, they suffer the loss of all their necromantic powers and other abilities until a sacrifice is performed. 

Necromancers gain experience by ritual sacrifice, and through animating, controlling or constructing undead - the experience gained is equal to the creature's xp value. Necromancers do not receive experience from defeating foes or amassing treasure.

|**NOTE:** 15<sup>th</sup> -lvl is the maximum for Necromancers||||||||||



**Necromancer Special Abilities**

**Darkvision: **Starting at 2<sup>nd</sup>-level, Necromancers gain darkvision. They also become very sensitive to bright light or sunlight, and suffer a penalty of -2 on their to-hit rolls in direct sunlight.  

**Control Undead**: Necromancers may communicate with and attempt to establish a rapport with undead in the same fashion as evil Clerics. A 'D' result on the Turning Undead Table means they have established indefinite control over the undead. The Necromancer can control a number of undead equal to ten times his level in Hit Dice. Vampires and other greater forms of undead cannot be controlled in this way. Controlled zombies and skeletons may be ordered to guard one place, following the Necromancer's commands. Other undead can only be controlled within the Necromancer's line of sight (maximum range: 20' times the Necromancer's level). Necromantic control can be broken if the undead are turned or controlled by another Cleric or with a dispel evil spell. If the controlling Necromancer is present, any attempts to wrest control are at -1 for every 3 levels of the Necromancer. 

**Immunity from Undead**: Necromancers are immune to the special abilities of undead which have fewer hit dice than the Necromancer. They are also immune to the effects of fear generated by any type of undead. 

**Sacrificial Healing: **Necromancers cannot heal naturally, nor will magical cures or potions have beneficial effect on them. Through ritual sacrifice of intelligent creatures they can recover up to ½ of the victim's hit points. Note that this requires special utensils and must be performed between midnight and 1 AM. See also the necromantic power //Vampiric Touch// described below. 



|  **LEVEL**  |  **FREQUENCY**  |  **SACRIFICE REQUIRED***  |
|  1  |  1/month  |  Any Animal  |
|  2  |  1/month  |  Any Mammal  |
|  3  |  1/month  |  Any Mammal (Virgin only)  |
|  4  |  1/month  |  Humanoid (Virgin only)  |

|  14  |  1/day  |  1d6 Humans  |
|  15  |  1/day  |  1d6 Humans (Lvl 1+)  |
|*Higher forms of sacrifice may always be substituted for a lesser one, but not vice-versa.|||



**Ossuary: **Upon reaching 10<sup>th</sup> level, a Necromancer may begin construction of a special temple called an Ossuary, made entirely of human or demi-human bones. Because of their sluggish and unintelligent nature, undead cannot be used to construct an Ossuary, so humanoid or other slaves must be used. Construction requires 10 hours, 10gp, the bones of at least 50 humans/demi-humans and the blood of 5 for each 10 square feet of area. Once completed, the bones knit together into a magically strong substance as strong as granite. When a Necromancer is within his Ossuary, he receives +2 to all Saving Throws, while intruders suffer a -2 penalty. In addition, a Necromancer may call forth skeletons from the walls of the temple. Up to 1 skeleton per 10 cubic feet of wall per day may be called forth this way. These skeletons are automatically under the control of the Necromancer, who may order them about telepathically at will. They will not leave the Ossuary under any circumstances and may be ordered to return to the Ossuary's walls at any time if the Necromancer so desires. Additionally, any undead under the  Necromancer's control are turned as the next higher class of undead while inside the structure. 

**Undeath**: Unless a Necromancer is buried in specially consecrated ground or is utterly destroyed, he will return as undead, as noted on the Level Advancement table. They will not retain any of their necromantic powers unless they return as a vampire or lich. In any case they will not earn any more experience points as an undead. 

**Mortal Curse**: The Necromancer may pronounce a Mortal Curse on his killer at the moment of death (assuming the opportunity exists). The effect of a Mortal Curse is similar to the 3<sup>rd</sup>-level reversed Clerical spell //Bestow Curse//, cast at a level four times the Necromancer's actual level. A Necromancer dying inside his Ossuary may pronounce a Generational Mortal Curse which will affect both the intended victim and his firstborn child as well. If the curse is not dispelled beforehand, each succeeding generation's firstborn child will also be afflicted. At the GM's discretion, a quest or particularly difficult ritual may be needed to remove a generational curse.  A //Limited Wish// will have no effect. A //Wish// will only stave off the effects during one person's lifetime. Two full //Wishes// are required to permanently dispel the curse.



**Necromantic Spellcasting Powers**



There are 5 "stages" of powers, which roughly correspond to spell levels for normal spellcasters. Necromancers acquire new powers each level. These powers are not acquired as spells, but are granted to Necromancers as a reward from their devilish masters. Once granted, the ability is never forgotten when used, and the Necromancer does not need to spend any time meditating or memorizing to regain use of a power. Unless otherwise noted, a power may only be used once per day. Several of the powers have pre-requisites which must be met before that power can be chosen. Necromancers may choose the same power multiple times, allowing them to use it more often.  When choosing a new power, a power of a lesser stage may be substituted instead of a higher one. 



|  **Stage 1**  |  **Stage 2**  |  **Stage 3**  |  **Stage 4**  |  **Stage 5**  |
|  //Animate Dead//  |  //Improved Animate Dead//  |  //Create Skull Guardian//  |  //Become Non-corporeal//  |  //Finger of Death//  |
|  //Cacaphony of the Crypt//  |  //Animate Limb//  |  //Control Shadows//  |  //Construct Servant//  |  //Drain Life//  |

|  //Speak With Dead Animals//  |  //Beckon Ghasts//  |  //Know the Past//  |  //Army of the Dead//  |  //Beckon Vampires//  |
|  //Beckon  Skeletons//  |  //Wisdom of the Grave//  |  //Summon Wraiths//  |  //Diabolic Brew//  |    |
|  //Beckon Zombies//  |  //Zombie Automaton//  |  //Superior Animate Dead//  |  //Improved Control Shadows//  |    |



**Animate Dead**: Similar to the 3<sup>rd</sup>-level Cleric spell of the same name. A Necromancer may animate 1-6 zombies in this manner. If no flesh remains, the corpses are animated as skeletons instead. A Necromancer may control a number of these skeletons/zombies equal to 10 times their level at any one time 

Animate Dead Animals: Similar to the necromantic power of Animate Dead, except only animals may be animated this way. Consider undead animals to have ½ the HD of a living specimen for purposes of Turning.  Necromancers may only control a number of these animated animals equal to 6 times their level at any one time. Animate Dead is a prerequisite for this power. 

**Animate Limb**: A Necromancer may use this ability to re-animate up to 4 severed human limbs (but not a head). Limbs have limited movement - hands or arms could crawl (up to 5'/round), but a leg or foot would simply flop around.  A limb is not intelligent, but is under the control of the Necromancer, who may order it about as a skeleton or zombie. A limb has ½ HD (1-4hp) and can be turned as a zombie. Necromancers may only control a number of these limbs equal to 6 times their level at any one time. 

**Army of the Dead**: The Necromancer can animate and subsequently control up to 100 human-type corpses, which must be dead less than one week. The animation lasts for 24 hours. Animate Dead is a prerequisite for this power. Typically this power is used near a fresh battlefield or plague-ridden village where plenty of fresh corpses are readily available. 

**Aura of Fear**: With this power the Necromancer is continuously surrounded by a 50' radius aura of fear. Intelligent creatures not immune to fear must Save vs. Spells or attempt to flee from the area for 1 turn. Creatures remaining within the aura's radius must make an additional Saving Throw every third turn.  Although this power works continuously, a Necromancer may choose to "turn off/turn on" the aura at will.  

**Beckon (Undead)**: Calls up to 12 undead of the specified type within a radius of 30 ft times the Necromancer's level, up to a maximum of 250'. The beckoning lasts for 1 turn +1 turn/level of the Necromancer. Once begun, the Necromancer does not need to concentrate to maintain the beckoning. If able, a Necromancer may attempt several beckonings simultaneously. Beckoned undead will move as quickly as possible toward the Necromancer. The Necromancer must attempt to establish control normally or the undead will be hostile.  If undead of the type being beckoned are not present, or are not present in sufficient numbers, lesser undead types will answer the call in order of descending Hit Dice.  A beckoning will only call undead which are already present in the area, and does not animate the dead or summon undead from another plane. Note: Each beckoning power is a prerequisite to the next higher version. 

**Become Non-corporeal**: Allows the Necromancer's body (and his clothes & personal possessions) to become non-corporeal. His AC is lowered by 4 and he can only be struck by magic weapons or spells affecting non-corporeal beings such as Wraiths or Spectres. Direct sunlight or dispel magic will immediately end the effect.  

**Cacophony of the Crypt**: Identical to the 2<sup>nd</sup>-level Arcane spell //Audible Glamour// except the Necromancer may only produce eerie or ghoulish noises such as the rattling of chains, weeping, mumbling, ghostly howls and so on. The cacophony may be set to raise an alarm if living intelligent beings approach within 10'. This power only works between sunset and sunrise.

**Cast Necromantic Bell**: A Necromancer may create a small bell which summons a particular dead spirit and functions as the 3<sup>rd</sup>-level Divine spell //Speak with Dead//. Only one bell may be constructed for a particular person, and is good for a single use only. Creating a necromantic bell requires one week's time and 1,000gp of materials per level of the deceased to be summoned. A piece of the corpse or an item intimately connected to the deceased is also required.  

**Cause Darkness**: Identical to the 2<sup>nd</sup>-level Arcane spell, //Darkness 15 ft radius//. 

**Construct Servant**: The Necromancer may create an undead servant using the body parts of dead humans. Two arms, two legs, a trunk and a head are sewn together from at least 4 different bodies to create the servant. The corpses must be fresh (dead less than a day) and not mutilated in any way. Because of their oddly deformed posture and dead stares, a Servant will never be mistaken for a living creature in normal light. Servants will have a number of Hit Dice equal to the combined level of the four victims divided by four. In all other respects, treat them as Ju-ju Zombies. 

**Control Shadows**: This power allows a Necromancer to summon a number of shadows equal to his level. Once the shadows are summoned the Necromancer has a chance to control them equal to 10% + 10% for every level gained after this power was originally received. Once controlled, the shadow(s) may be ordered to venture out of sight and report back on what they have seen or sensed. The maximum range they can roam is 20' times the Necromancer's level. 

**Create Flesh Golem**: This power allows a Necromancer to create a flesh golem from the parts of recently dead, unmutilated corpses. Construct Servant is a prerequisite for this power. The flesh golem will require at 50 body parts. Roll 1d3 to determine the number of useable parts from one body (three meaning they are all  unusable).  Once completely assembled, the flesh golem can only be animated during a thunderstorm. Once animated, it will obey all verbal commands from its creator. Otherwise, it is a normal flesh golem in all respects, and may be subject to going out of control as noted in __OSRIC__. 

**Create Lich**: A Necromancer may use this power to create a lich from a willing human victim. The victim must be at least a 14<sup>th</sup>-level evil Cleric or Magic-User. The process culminates in the death of the victim and their resurrection as a lich. The process requires at least 2,000gp of materials per level of the victim and 2 weeks of preparation. The materials are consumed during the ceremony, which must be conducted at midnight on a grimly auspicious night (e.g. Halloween, Winter Solstice etc.) Upon completion of the rituals, the victim arises as a lich in all respects. This power is rarely used owing to the inherent distrust and enmity between evil spell-casters and Necromancers. 

**Create Skull Guardian**: A ritually sacrificed human or demi-human may be used to create a skull guardian. The process requires one week of work but no special materials. The result is a skull sporting a pair of membranous bony wings growing from its temples. A skull guardian is only semi-intelligent but follows the orders of the creating Necromancer at all times. It may only move a maximum of 60' away from the place of its creation.  



**Skull Guardian**: AC 2; MV 30'; HD 1; hp 1-8;  THAC0 19; #AT 1; D 1-3;  SA  Generates Fear 5' radius; SD normal undead immunities, turn as Spectre; MR Std; SZ S; Int Semi; AL N; XP 650+10/hp.



**Diabolic Brew**: With this power a Necromancer may make a foul, evilly tainted potion from the blood of a sacrificial victim. The victim must be sacrificed exactly at Midnight, and must be human. The potion requires at least 1 day to brew and 1,000gp of ingredients per level of the victim. If the potion is imbibed, there is a chance the drinker will gain a permanent +1 to one of his ability scores, determined randomly. The chance of this success is equal to the level of the sacrificial victim x 10%. Anyone drinking a diabolic brew is irrevocably damned to the service of an Arch-Devil and his alignment will be permanently changed to Lawful Evil. This will happen whether or not an ability score is increased by the Diabolic Brew. 

**Drain Life**: For a period of 2 turns, the Necromancer has the ability to drain 1 level of experience from any normal or smaller size human, demi-human, or humanoid he touches (Save vs. Spells is allowed). Life drain is permanent unless a restoration spell is cast to reverse it. A victim reduced to 0-level this way is dead (will not return as undead). 

**Evil Eye**: The Necromancer has a gaze ability similar to a vampire's, except that the effect is to hold rather than charm. The victim is allowed a Saving Throw vs. Spells if applicable. 

**Feign Death**: Identical to the 3rd-level Arcane spell of the same name. This ability may be used as manytimes per day as the Necromancer wishes. 

**Finger of Death**: A Necromancer may point at one creature within 30ft (victim must be seen) and attempt to slay him on the spot. The victim is allowed a Saving Throw vs. Death at a penalty of -2. If the Saving Throw is successful there is no effect. 

**Ghoul Touch**:  For a period of 2 turns, the Necromancer has the ability to paralyze any normal or smaller size human, demi-human or humanoid he touches (Save vs. Paralysis is allowed). Elves are immune to this effect.

**Improved Control Shadows**: Functions identically to the Control Shadows power (which is a prerequisite) except that the shadows are in telepathic contact with the Necromancer and will report on their findings as they happen. 

**Improved Animate Dead**: Similar to the prerequisite power Animate Dead, except that the Necromancer may animate 1-6 ju-ju zombies. The corpses must be fresh (no more than a week dead) and relatively intact. 

**Incorporeal Spirit**: The Necromancer may summon a dead person whom he knew personally in life, once per day. The incorporeal spirit will arrive from the Outer Planes with all normal abilities and equipment except for any magic items. It will be bound to serve the Necromancer for one hour only before returning to its home on an Outer Plane. Spirits of opposing alignments or of a level higher than the Necromancer may attack the Necromancer instead: the base chance for this to happen is 0%, but it is modified by +10% for every level above the Necromancer, +50% if Good, +25% if Neutral and -20% if the deceased was slain by the Necromancer himself. Summoning the same spirit too frequently may attract the attention of the dead person's deity, who might intervene (at the GM's discretion, of course). 

**Know the Past**: By concentrating and meditating for 5 rounds, a Necromancer is able to know what has occurred in the past 24 hours in that same place (10' radius per level).

**Manufacture (Undead Type)**: Creates an undead creature from a human corpse. This procedure takes one week of uninterrupted work, starting with sacrifice of the human victim. Once finished, the Necromancer must attempt to establish control as normal; otherwise the creature will act independently.  Note: Each manufacturing power is a prerequisite to the next higher version.

**Possession**: With this power a Necromancer may attempt to possess a human or demi-human victim  (must be vulnerable to //Charm Person// spells). The victim must be within 60' and within the Necromancer's  line of sight. A Saving Throw vs. Spells is allowed. If the Saving Throw fails, the victim's body is possessed by the intellect of the Necromancer as per the 5<sup>th</sup>-level Magic-User spell //Magic Jar//. Duration is similar to charm person. Detect charm or detect evil spells will reveal that something is amiss. Necromancers may use this power to insinuate themselves into groups of good-aligned parties for simple spying or for creating havoc.

**Sense Life**: Thrice per day, for one turn each time, the Necromancer may sense all intelligent, living creatures within 150'. Only the direction will be sensed; distance and identity will not. 

**Speak with Dead Animals**: Identical to the 3<sup>rd</sup>-level Divine spell //Speak with Dead//, except that only animals (not monsters, humanoids or any other types) may be spoken with.

**Speak with Dead**: Identical to the 3<sup>rd</sup>-level Divine spell of the same name. 

**Superior Animate Dead**: This power allows a Necromancer to animate the corpse of a recently dead (up to 1 week) human or demi-human. The corpse must be unmutilated. The animated undead will possess the same level it had in life, and the same powers, including any non-Clerical spellcasting abiities. The animation only lasts for 24 hours, after which the creature cannot be re-animated. Treat the creature as an undead of the same or fewer hit dice for the purposes of turning. After animation, a Necromancer must attempt to establish control normally. If control is not established, the animated undead will attack the Necromancer. //Animate Dead// is the prerequisite for this power.  

**Vampiric Touch**: When a Necromancer with this power touches a victim (a successful to-hit in melee) the touch drains 1d6 hit points from the victim and adds them to the Necromancer's total. No Saving Throw is possible. Hit points drained this way may not be used to exceed the Necromancers maximum hit point score; all additional drained hit points are simply lost. 

**Wisdom of the Grave**: Using this power a Necromancer may question an intact human, demi-human or humanoid skull as to the whereabouts and general events at the site where the rest of the skull's bones are buried (50' radius). The range between the skull and the bones cannot exceed 20 miles per level of the Necromancer.  If the bones are animated or pulverized this power cannot be used. 

**Zombie Automaton**: With this power a Necromancer may attempt to magically charm a human or demi-human with a range of 40'. If a Save vs. Spells is failed, the victim becomes an automaton under the control of the Necromancer. The victim retains its level and other abilities including non-Clerical spell-casting. They cannot however, gain experience in this state, nor can they use good-aligned magic items. They can be turned as an undead of comparable hit dice. If a 'D' result is obtained, the automaton spell is broken. The 4<sup>th</sup>-level Cleric spell //Exorcism// can also break the spell, as can //Dispel Magic// cast by a Magic-User of the same or higher level than the controlling Necromancer. If the automaton is killed and resurrected, the spell will also be broken. 



**Necromancer Followers**

Necromancers never attract followers.



**SORCERER **
----


//My clever baton holds your unnatural sorcery in abeyance.//

- Jack Vance, __//**Guyal of Sfere**//__



Sorcerers, like Magic-Users, are practitioners of Arcane magic and are capable of progressing almost as far in that regard. However, the college of sorcery has mastered an alternative means of casting arcane magic which uses the caster's own body as a limited power source. As a result sorcery exacts a physical toll on its user with each spell cast, but sorcerers do not lose their memory of a spell after casting it as do Magic-Users. There is no room for frailty in this profession. A constitution score of at least 15 is required. Sorcerers start with 2d4 hit points and thereafter gain 1d6 per level up to level 10. 

Despite their differences from Magic-Users, sorcerers still need a spell book to make the most of their abilities. Like Magic-Users, a sorcerer can only memorise a limited number of spells at any given time. It is almost certain that the sorcerer will comprehend and be able to memorise more spells than he can hold in his mind at any given time. The process of releasing a memorised spell and memorising a new one in its place requires a spell book and is identical to the process undertaken by Magic-Users. Sorcerers are limited by their intelligence in which spells they can learn; use the Magic-User Spell Acquisition Table to simulate this.

Because using their magic leaves them vulnerable, sorcerers incorporate a greater degree of physical and martial training than do Magic-Users or Illusionists. They wield weapons and fight as Thieves and may wear leather armour and use a shield.  Unlike Clerics or Druids, they cannot cast spells with somatic or material components while using a shield. 

Sorcerers are more capable than Magic-Users in magic item use. They can employ magic items usable by Illusionists and may use magical weapons and armour they are capable of wielding or wearing. Sorcerers may also read Magic-User scrolls. 

Sorcerers can be of any race that permits Magic-Users. Sorcerer NPCs must conform to the same level restrictrictions as Magic-Users.

**Sorcerer Class Abilities **

**Spellcasting**: When a sorcerer casts a memorised spell it is not wiped from their memory. Instead, the sorcerer takes 2 hit points of damage per level of the spell cast. In all other respects, sorcerers cast spells exactly as do Magic-Users. First level Sorcerers begin with two spells in their spell book, //Read Magic// and one first level spell of their choosing. In the same manner as Magic-Users, they learn one new spell per level gained. 



**Sorcerer Followers**

Once they reach 9<sup>th</sup>-lvl Sorcerers begin to attract followers as a Magic-User. These may be randomly diced for or selected by the GM as seems most appropriate in the context of the campaign.



**WARLOCK (Demonologist/Diabolist)**
----


//When you are dining with a demon you got to have a long spoon.//

**- Navjot Singh Sidhu**



Warlocks are a variant of Clerics. Unlike Clerics they are not tied to a particular god or church hierarchy; instead they specialise in contacting, binding, and dispelling devils, demons, and other beings from the astral, æthereal, and outer planes. They also develop a proficiency at extra-planar communication and travel, as part and parcel of their dealings with these beings. Finally, they also have some limited control over the undead as Clerics. Warlocks who specialise in contacting demons are more properly known as '//demonologists//' while those who deal with devils are known as '//diabolists//' Only humans can become warlocks.



**Minimum Scores**: INT 14+, WIS 13+, CON 8+, CHA 11+ 

**Hit Die Type**: d6 (max 10) 

**Experience Bonus**: INT & WIS 16+ 

**Alignment**: Chaotic and/or Evil only 

**Armour/Shield Permitted**: Leather/Studded Leather/Any 

**Weapons Permitted**: as Druid 

**Magic Items Permitted**: As Cleric, and see below 

**Weapon Proficiencies**: 2+1 every 4 levels 

**Penalty To-Hit for Non-Proficiency**: -2 

**Weapon Specialisation**: None 

**Attack**: as Cleric 



**Spellcasting **

As the patron spirit beings of warlocks are not true 'gods', they grant only 1<sup>st</sup> to 3<sup>rd</sup> level spells through Clerical meditation and devotion, although warlocks do not receive bonus spells for high wisdom as do Clerics. Higher level spells, by contrast, must be sought after and recorded on a scroll or in a spell book as Magic-User spells. This may not be easy, as in many cases these spells are to be found only in certain forbidden tomes, inscriptions or manuscripts. Higher level warlock spells (level 4 and above) are subject to the same restrictions on chances to understand, and minimum/maximum number of spells as pertain to Magic-Users. Warlock spells are categorized under the type //Maleficent //and are detailed in Chapter 6: Magic. 



**Sacrificial Focii **

Warlock magic depends upon a sacrificial focus, which is a material requirement for spellcasting. The sacrificial focus is a sacramental weapon usable by warlocks, typically a dagger or scythe, and acts as a Clerical unholy symbol. A focus may be either a normal or magical weapon, but if the latter, must be either unaligned or of a similar alignment to the warlock. Each focus is magically tied to its owner and a warlock may have only one focus. A focus is initially consecrated by being bathed in unholy water, and then an application of both a //Sanctuary// and a //Dedication// spell (c.f. Chapter 6). //Dispel Magic// will de-consecrate a focus, requiring another consecration before it can be used again. 

A consecrated focus must be used in all of the warlock's sacrifices and spellcasting that requires a material component.

**Special Abilities **

Due to their specialised knowledge, Warlocks will have a reaction bonus of 1d6+4% when dealing with beings from the outer, astral, æthereal or elemental planes. Warlocks can turn undead as a Cleric of half their level, rounding up. For example, a 5<sup>th</sup>-level Warlock would turn undead as a 3<sup>rd</sup>-level Cleric.
