Artwork?\u00a0 Pretty reminiscent of the RQ2 style in this.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Combat effects include Bleed and Impale as well as Bash and Stun\u00a0 (ah, Crush sounds nastier!)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Fumbles….a fumble gains you a free increase of 1% in a skill later on.\u00a0 That is a nice tweak.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Experience Rolls…GMs award these it seems rather that getting one for the successful use of a skill.\u00a0 You then improve if you roll d100 &gt; current skill and add INT as a bonus.\u00a0 Then you go up 1d4+1%…fail the roll, go up 1%.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

Then there is the paying for training version, as well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Disease and Poison Conditions table has 18!\u00a0 Death is one. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

Fatigue – rules for this, speaking of more conditions.\u00a0 ‘Tracking Fatigue and its effects makes for additional book-keeping’<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

Permanent Injury Table….character loses 1\/3, 2\/3 or all but one Hit Points in a location.\u00a0 Ouch!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

Inanimate Object ratings – expanding on the swords\/armour idea in RQ2 with tables, so a chair has 2 Armour and 6 Hit Points.\u00a0 Solidly useful stuff games that have tables of that sort of thing.\u00a0 Although of course can use the standard BRP opposition table for that sort of thing, fast version.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Page 77 – Combat can be a very deadly business:<\/p>\n

This we knew, game of Impales (and Slashes and Crushes in the past, always used those too…so carnage and mayhem from all weapon types)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Initiative?\u00a0 Ok, now they have gone MSH or V&amp;V…1d10 and add to Strike Rank.\u00a0 Which is reversed, so higher is better!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Proactive Actions you can do with action points, another list of options<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

including:<\/p>\n

Dither – A character can decide to simply waste his turn doing nothing useful<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Special Effects – difference in combat success levels gets you them it seems…Impales etc also on here.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Ok, so Sunder is wreck their armour.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

Magic Points to go with your Action Points.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Fire table has Volcanic Lava.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Folk Magic – Dishevel…for when you needed a magical way to make your place look not cleaned?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Theism – “Not every being who receives worship is necessarily a god per se.”\u00a0 Got that, Ray?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Cult of the Lord Dark Maggot might not be too pleasant.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Divine Intervention now Miracles by the looks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Earthquake table, to go with the volcanos. Intensity 11+ ‘even colossal stone monuments like pyramids suffer partial collapse’<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Chapter 15 has 35 pages of monsters, including a few flavourful ones like Chaos Hybrids, Panthotaurs, Baboons and Winged Apes.\u00a0 And a big long Chaos Features table.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
Character sheets, Combat Tracking Sheet and Index at the end.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
