Casting Spells

Magic-​Users must have both hands free (a staff or wand in hand is

accept​able), Elves need just one hand free to cast a spell. Clerics
must have their holy symbol in their hand for the whole round.
Spells with instan​taneous or permanent duration take effect right
away. All others take effect at the beginning of the next round before
initiative rolls are made.

If a character has taken any damage earlier in a Round, the

character cannot cast a spell that round.

Move

A character can move up to a 1/3 or his normal move in feet every

Round and can also attack.
Altern​ately a character can charge, moving his full rate and doing
double damage, but suffering a -2 AC penalty that Round.

Characters with weapons that can receive a charge automa​tically

strike first against an enemy closing into melee range with them,
unless they've already acted that round, and do double damage
against charging opponents.

Parry

A character may decide to defend themselves at the expense of all

other actions. No other action is allowed during a Round in which a
character decides to parries, although a player is free to decide they
are parrying at any point before they have acted in a round.

Parrying characters get +2 AC bonus for that Round, or a +4 bonus

for Fighters, Dwarves and Elves.

90% +10

Cover is protection behind something that can actually block

incoming attacks.

Firing into Melee

When firing into a melee, randomly determine who in the melee is

actually target​ed--the firing character doesn't get to choose​--b​efore
rolling to hit.
If the firing character takes a full round to aim, one possible target of
the firing charac​ter's choice counts as two people in the melee when
the Referee comes to determine the target.
Larger targets count as two characters for random target determ​‐
ining, truly gargantuan creatures can be fired on using the normal
rules.

Dexterity modifiers do not apply for either the firing character or the
targets when firing into a melee.

Helpless Opponents

Helpless opponents, defined as those sleeping, bound, magically

frozen, etc., are automa​tically hit for maximum damage by anyone
attacking them with a melee weapon.

Morale

To make a morale test roll 2D6; if the roll is equal to or less than the
Morale score then the NPC, monster or monster group is willing to
stand and fight. If the result is higher than the score then they have
lost their nerve. NPCs, monsters or monster groups with a Morale
score of 12 never fail a cehck.
In general Morale is checked when an NPC, monster or monster
group first encounters opposi​tion, and again when they are reduced
to half strength.
