FIGURES
As mentioned earlier you can play 2d6 Sword & Sorcery with
any kind of figures. You can even play with cardboard
counters.
Each figure represents one man or creature. The easiest way to
base your figures for 2d6 Sword & Sorcery is one figure on a
round or square base as either style will work.

Damage is reduced in the following ways:
DEFINING THE FIGURES  An Obviously Dead result becomes an Out of the
Fight result.
Note that the words figure and character are interchangeable.  An Out of the Fight result from shooting becomes no
effect.
2d6 Sword & Sorcery is played with individual figures that are  An Out of the Fight in Melee becomes a -1 Rep, the

 Is it a Star or a Grunt? It is possible to reduce damage by multiple levels if you roll
 What is its Reputation? several results of 1, 2, or 3.
 What is its Class?
 What is its Armor Class?
 Is it a Leader? Example: A Star with a Rep of 5 is hit by missile fire. He
takes one Obviously Dead result. The player rolls one d6 per
point of the Star’s Rep or 5d6 in this case.
STARS AND GRUNTS
 The results are 2, 2, 4, 5, and 6.

and go as the game progresses. Grunts are controlled  The 6 has no effect, but is discarded for the remainder of
by the game mechanics. the Encounter.

WHY USE STARS? FREE WILL

One question that may be asked is why do we use Stars in The Star can choose to leave or have his side leave the Battle
THW? It's to give the player personal control of his character. Board when taking the Will to Fight Test (page 20) without
rolling any dice.
Remember that all Grunts are controlled by the game
mechanics.
But Stars? That's you. You will see that you have more
freedom, as in real life, to do what you want, as well as some
distinct advantages that separate you from the Grunts.

STAR ADVANTAGES
As a Star in 2d6 Sword & Sorcery you have two important
advantages – Star Power and Free Will.

STAR POWER
Star Power is the ability of a character to ignore normally
disabling damage. Here’s how we do it:
 Stars start each Encounter (game) with 1d6 of Star
Power for each point of Rep. So a Rep 5 Star starts
with 5d6 Star Power.
 Whenever a Star takes damage it rolls its current Star
Power d6. Read each d6 as rolled.
 Any result of 1, 2, or 3 reduces the damage by
one level.
 Any result of 4 or 5 means the damage stays and
the d6 is retained for future use.
 Any result of 6 means the damage stays, but the
d6 is removed from the character’s Star Power
for the rest of the Encounter.

Casters can cast a variety of spells. There are three types of
spells.

Casters are powerful but very fragile!
Example – The Rep 4 Caster wants to cast a Damage Spell.
He targets the opposing Leader. I roll on the Casting Table
and pass 2d6. This means the spell affects four targets so I add
one figure to the target’s left and two to its right.
I roll 2d6 for the Caster on the Shooting Damage Table and
score a total of 7. There are four Rep 4 targets. Three are
wearing AC 2 which gives them a Defensive Value of 6. They
are all Obviously Dead!
The 4th Rep 4 target is wearing AC 4 so with a Defensive
Value of 8, he is unaffected.

NPC SPELL CASTING

Non-Player Casters will roll to see what spell they will use
when casting. Here’s how we do it:
 Consult the NPC Spell Casting Table.
 Roll 2d6 versus the Rep of the Caster.
 Determine how many d6 are passed.

means the archer can fire. He rolls 2d6 versus his Rep of 4

LOADING UP PEFS
Here’s a shortcut we highly recommend. It’s called “loading
up” PEFs and will save you a lot of time. Here’s how we do it:
 Before the game generate your Non-Player enemies
from the Enemy Table or Lists. Be sure to do at least
7 figures.
 Line them up from best to worse with the second and
fifth figure being a Missile troop and the sixth a
Caster.
 When you contact the enemy, start from the first
figure and going towards the seventh, grab the
number of figures you need.
 After the battle place them in order again, but behind
any figures you haven’t used.
 Continue to do this for the whole Encounter. This
will give you a wide variety of enemy groups.
