8 About Dragonslayer Introduction The DragonslayerTM Role-Playing Game is the codification of my longstanding Old School Renaissance (OSR) homegame. My homegame is a reflection of how I played in the early 1980s with my schoolmates. Like many of my generation, I used the engine of B/X with the chrome of First Edition. The result is a game that is simplified, but not simple. DragonslayerTM plays fast, with just enough detail to provide an immersive gaming experience but not bog play down with actuarial rules. All my megadungeons, Barrowmaze, Archaia, HighFell, and Dwarrowdeep were played and designed using the rules put forth in this book. Having said that, my homegame is both reflective and reflexive. When we encountered other games and editions, we experimented and responded to alternative ways of thinking and task resolution. We discarded many of those rules and some, as you will see, we kept. First and foremost, DragonslayerTM is a game of imagination. In order to play, someone must serve as the Maze Controller. The Maze Controller, or Game Master, selects an adventure, or creates one using the step-by-step process provided later in the book. The players create individual player characters (PCs) outlined in the first chapter. Everyone at the table should have a pencil, a set of polyhedral dice, a character sheet, Funions, and Mountain Dew. Once the adventure and the PCs are ready, the adventure can begin in town or outside a dungeon entrance. Dragonslayer:Six Tenets Ask Exact Questions: DragonslayerTM, like all classic fantasy role-playing games, is about asking good questions. In order to ask good questions, players need to understand that the Maze Controller serves as their senses in the gameworld. Vision, hearing, touch, smell, and taste, can only be determined by asking the right questions. Good players constantly ask questions to better interact with (and survive) their environment. Rulings over Rules: This book cannot encompass every possibility that might arise in a game session. The rules provide a set of reasonable guidelines to facilitate play. The Maze Controller is the final arbiter of rule application. If players want to try something not covered in the rules, they should consult the Maze Controller prior to taking action. Once the Maze Controller rules, the discussion is over and the game moves forward. As a Maze Controller, do not hesitate to incorporate the feedback of players prior to making a final decision on gameplay. In addition, never be a rules lawyer with your Maze Controller. Just because the rules say a goblin has 1-1 hit dice, does not mean the goblin you are fighting in your Maze Controller’s game has 1-1 hit dice. Just because a spell has a certain duration or effect in the rules, does not mean the Maze Controller’s version of the spell is the same. More than likely, they will be the same, but remember you are not in your game world, you are in his or hers. The League of Ordinary Gentlemen: Player characters are not superheroes born with extraordinary powers. Rather they are ordinary people thrust into extraordinary circumstances. What does this mean? It means that you must bring your intellect, ingenuity, guile, and craftiness to each character you play. The secrets do not rest on your character sheet, they rest in your ability to problemsolve unique situations and role-play at the table. Game Balance: Some contemporary role-playing games note the importance of game balance to ensure player success. This is lame and a boring sanitation of the hobby. Instead, if you really want to know how to play role-playing games properly, read Sun Tzu’s The Art of War from 2,500 years ago. If you want to stay alive, set ambushes, engage in deception, gather intelligence, always fight on ground of your choosing, and, if your opponent outclasses you in an engagement - run away. Who’s in Control?: Classic fantasy RPGs are occasionally derided for too much control on the part of the Game Master, or in this case, Maze Controller. Although the Maze Controller does have agency, it is the players who control much of the game. The key to success is to keep dice out of the hands of the Maze Controller. If you choose to engage in combat, it is the Maze Controller’s job (playing the monsters) to kill you. If you do not want to run into random monsters, then leave before the end of the first turn in the dungeon. If you do not want to be killed, then avoid combat (which gives you comparatively few experience points in relation to treasure). In classic fantasy role-playing games, players have agency and exert influence on the game. Dice Rolls: The Maze Controller rolls all dice in front of the players. There are exceptions. For example, the MC rolls all thief skills, not the player. Thief skills are rolled secretly and qualitatively described to the player. So, a badly failed result might be communicated as “No traps. All clear.” If the roll is close, but still a fail, the MC might say, “You try to pick the lock but you just aren’t sure if it’s trapped or not.” In addition, all wandering monster checks are rolled secretly from the players (as well as their hit points). Players only roll when called upon by the Maze Controller.

9 Terminology DragonslayerTM uses specific terminology (and their acronyms) common to role-playing games: Maze Controller (MC): The Maze Controller, also called the Game Master or Referee, runs the game session for players and arbitrates the game rules. Player: The player is the person who creates a Player Character used in the game. Player Character (PC): The Player Character (or PC) is the player’s alter-ego in the game world, such as Sonja the Fighter or Jojen the Magic-User. Non-Player Character (NPC): NPCs are all the other characters encountered in an adventure. The Maze Controller plays the NPCs. Party: A party is a group of PCs joined together on an adventure or quest. Adventure: An adventure consists of one or more game sessions in a specific location. Campaign: A campaign is an adventure, or series of connected adventures, over an extended period of time. Monster: A monster is any creature encountered in the game. The Maze Controller plays all monsters. Dice and Notation: Role-playing games use polyhedral dice to determine random results. They include: Die Definition d4 A four-sided die d6 A six-sided die d8 An eight-sided die d10 A ten-sided die d12 A twelve-sided die d20 A twenty-sided die d100 Percentile dice In some instances, players are required to roll multiple dice. Multiple dice are expressed as 2d6 or 3d8 (meaning roll a d6 twice or a d8 three times, respectively). Modifiers may include 2d6+4 or 3d8+2. In these examples, a d6 is rolled twice and 4 is added to the result, or, in the latter example, a d8 is rolled three times and 2 is added. Percentile Dice: Percentile Dice, also called Percentage Dice, are expressed as 1d100. In this example two d10s are rolled. The first indicates the “ten” and the second the “one” to provide a percentage number. Hit Point (HP): Hit Points are an expression of the total amount of damage a PC or a monster can sustain before they are slain. Hit Dice: A monster’s total number of d8 hit points, unless otherwise noted. Armor Class (AC): Armor Class is a reflection of how difficult an opponent is to hit in combat. Experience Point (XP): Experience Points are used to measure the advancement of PCs. Experience points correspond to PC levels. Level: A level reflects an experience point threshold to advance a PC in power and ability. Encumbrance: Encumbrance is a measure of how much a PC can carry prior to being overburdened. Ability Score: There are six Ability Scores that reflect each Player Character. They include Strength, Intelligence, Wisdom, Dexterity, Constitution, and Charisma. Ability Check: An Ability Check is a d20 die roll against a specific Ability Score. The roll must be under or meet the Ability Score number to be successful. Saving Throw: A saving throw is a d20 dice roll to avoid a serious, or potentially serious, effect. The roll must meet or exceed the save number to be successful. Race: Race refers to player character species such as human or demi-human. Demi-Human: Demi-humans include all non-humans characters such as Cyclopsmen, Dwarves, Elves, Gnomes, Halflings, Half-Elves, and Half-Orcs. Class: Class refers to a pre-defined player character archetype. The abilities, strengths, and weaknesses of each class varies. Morale: Morale is a measure of resilience, confidence, and fighting spirit. Those with low morale tend to flee and those with high morale stand and fight. Hirelings: Hirelings are low skilled torch-bearers, porters, and guides. Men-at-arms are Level 0 fighters. Henchmen are classed mercenaries for hire. Henchmen receive an equal share of PC treasure.

10 Character Generation The first rule of DragonslayerTM Player Character Creation is simple: All characters die eventually. Players need to play their characters with guile to ensure survival at first level. Remember, the Maze Controller never kills player characters, players kill their characters through reckless play or fate (the dice). 1. Begin the process with a new Character Sheet. 2. Read through the Ability Scores, Races, and Classes to get a feel for each and their prerequisites. 3. Roll 3d6 seven times for your Ability Scores, record the results on scrap paper, and drop the lowest number. 4. Arrange your six Ability Scores to suit your desired race and class. Races consist of two groups: humans and demi-humans (Cyclopsmen, Dwarves, Elves, Gnomes Halflings, Half-Elves, and Half-Orcs). Demi-human races receive adjustments (bonuses and/or penalties) to their Ability Scores. Classes consist of Clerics (and the Druid and Monk subtypes), Fighters, (including the Barbarian, Paladin, and Ranger subtypes), Magic-Users (and the Illusionist subtype), and the Thief (and Assassin subtype). Note your Ability Scores and modifiers, and any special racial or class abilities, on your Character Sheet. Your rolls may not be high enough to play your first choice of race or class. 5. Level 1 characters begin play with full hit points (listed under each class entry) plus/minus his or her Constitution Modifier. Hit points after Level 1 are rolled and the Constitution Modifier applied. 6. Roll your starting gold pieces and select your weapons and equipment or select a Fast Pack. Note your choices on your character sheet. Weapons and armor must correspond to class restrictions. 7. Determine your Armor Class (AC) based on your armor type and Dexterity Modifier. 8. Record your Saving Throws (see each class entry). 9. Under “To Hit Armor Class” your character requires a 20 to hit AC: 0, 19 to hit AC: 1, 18 to hit AC: 2, etc. 10. Name your character, consider a basic description, and think of a one or two sentence backstory. Ability Scores Player Characters (PCs) possess six attributes. These include Strength, Intelligence, Wisdom, Dexterity, Constitution, and Charisma. Unless otherwise noted no Ability Score may be lower than 3 or higher than 18 (regardless of racial bonuses or penalties). Strength Strength (Str) measures a player character’s physical and muscular prowess. The score is particularly important to fighters and their subtypes. A high strength increases the ability to hit and score damage in battle with handheld weapons, as well as opening stuck doors. Strength Score Melee Attack/Damage and Force Door Modifier* 3 -3 4-5 -2 6-8 -1 9-12 0 13-15 +1 16-17 +2 18 +3 *All successful attacks score one hit point of damage (minimum). The modifier applies to all hand-held melee attack and damage rolls. Intelligence Intelligence (Int) determines the ability to acquire, process, and apply knowledge. Magic-users and illusionists require high intelligence to comprehend, memorize, and channel magical spells. Intelligence Score Languages Language Ability 3 -3 Unable to Read/Write/Speech 4-5 -2 Unable to Read/Write 6-8 -1 Read/Write (Partial) 9-12 0 Read/Write 13-15 +1 Read/Write 16-17 +2 Read/Write 18 +3 Read/Write

11 Wisdom Wisdom (Wis) describes metal discipline and the capacity to understand and gather insight into the nature of existence. Clerics, druids, and monks require a high wisdom score. Wisdom Score Magic Saving Throw Modifier* 3 -3 4-5 -2 6-8 -1 9-12 0 13-15 +1 16-17 +2 18 +3 *Applies to all mind-influencing magical effects. Dexterity Dexterity (Dex) reflects fine motor skill, hand-eye coordination, reflexes, and balance. Dexterity allows a player character to dodge attacks and also improves missile, or ranged, attack ability. Thieves require high dexterity to pick pockets and remove traps. Dexterity Score Missile Attack/Damage Modifier* Armor Class Modifier 3 -3 +3 4-5 -2 +2 6-8 -1 +1 9-12 0 0 13-15 +1 -1 16-17 +2 -2 18 +3 -3 *All successful attacks do a minimum of 1 point of damage. The modifier applies to all missile (also called ranged) attack and damage rolls. Constitution Constitution (Con) represents a player character’s physical health and stamina. This ability score modifier increases the PCs base hit points. All classes value a high constitution score. Constitution Score Hit Point Modifier* 3 -3 4-5 -2 6-8 -1 9-12 0 13-15 +1 16-17 +2 18 +3 *All PCs receive one hit point per level (minimum) regardless of a negative modifier. Charisma Charisma (CHA) refers to a player character’s physical beauty, allure, persuasiveness, magnetism, along with leadership ability. Charisma influences the number of retainers (henchmen and hirelings) a PC may retain and bolsters their morale. As natural born leaders, paladins require a high charisma score. Charisma Score Number of Henchmen Henchmen Morale 3 0 4 4-5 1 5 6-8 2 6 9-12 3 7 13-15 4 8 16-17 5 9 18 6 10 Ability Prime Requisite All classes have a Prime Requisite. A Prime Requisite is the most important ability score(s) for that character class. For example, wisdom for clerics, strength for fighters, etc. A high Prime Requisite provides an experience point bonus (or penalty): Score Experience Point Adjustment 3-5 -10% 6-8 -5% 9-12 0 13-15 +5% 16-18 +10%

12 Character Races Races consist of two groups: Humans and Demihumans. Demi-humans include Cyclopsmen, Dwarves, Elves, Gnomes Half-Elves, Half-Orcs, and Halflings. The ability scores generated in the previous section must meet or exceed the minimum requirements of each race. Humans have no minimum ability score requirements. Demi-humans, on the other hand, require at least one ability score minimum to be eligible. Racial bonuses may not lower Ability Scores below 3 or above 18. Human Ability Score Requirements: None Ability Score Modifiers: None Class and Level Limitations: None Humans are the most common race in any fantasy world. Humans live in remote medieval settlements and villages and often share the same physical characteristics. Humans are adaptable. Their versatility allows them to select any class and they have no level restrictions. Due to their combination of lifespan and birthrate, their population sizes normally exceed other races. Humans live for approximately 60 years, but are subject to disease, malnutrition, and pestilence. Role-Play: Humans are the baseline for medieval fantasy role-playing. Humans, subject to the campaign, may resemble early Anglo-Saxons, Vikings, Greeks, Spartans, Romans, or Picts. These historical cultures can provide inspiration for role-playing (language, dress, religion, fighting style, etc.). Humans receive no penalties or modifiers to their abilities and require no minimum ability scores to qualify. Humans are not subject to demi-human level limits. Humans can always play a cleric, fighter, magic-user, or thief, as they have no minimum class ability score requirements. Human Racial Abilities Movement: Humans have a speed of 40 feet per round. Languages: Humans begin play with Common. A human can speak Dwarf, Elf, Gnome, Halfling, or Suul, subject to Intelligence Modifier. Human Starting Age: Cleric (20+1d4), Fighter (16+1d4), Magic-User (19+1d4), Thief (16+1d4). These ages include all respective class subtypes. Human Height and Weight (lbs) Height Modifier Weight Modifier Male 5’8” 1d6 175 4d10 Female 5’5” 1d6 130 3d10

13 Cyclopsman Ability Score Requirements: Strength 13, Constitution 14 Ability Score Modifiers: Intelligence -1, Wisdom -1, Constitution +1, Charisma -1 Class and Level Limitations: Fighter 10, Paladin 8 Cyclopsmen are rare. They look like large humans (between 6’3” to 6’8” feet tall) with a single eye. They are striking to behold. Their hair colour varies from light brown to black and their eye colour from pale blue to green. Cyclopsmen, sages believe, were bred as slave labor at some point in the distant past. As a result, they are hardy and strong, and rarely speak. Due to these attributes, cyclopsmen make excellent warriors. Cyclopsmen possess unique digestive systems. They are unable to draw nutrients from cooked meat or other foods and, as such, are raw carnivores. Cyclopsmen live for 50 years. Role-Play: Cyclopsmen are a dour, staid, and dogmatic race. They are the first to act and the last to speak. They value loyalty and think little of braggarts. For these reasons, they prefer the company of dwarves, whom they admire for their physical strength and loyalty. They have empathy for halfings, as cyclopsmen endure prejudice for their height in the same manner halflings are mistreated for their short stature. Cyclopsmen have no corollary in their own language for metaphorical communication. This presents difficulty understanding the hyperbolical everyday language of humans and demi-humans. As a result, cyclopsmen interpret common vernacular and slang literally, leading to difficulty in basic communication. Given their size, and their communication issues, they are often stereotyped as simple-minded. Cyclopsmen are disparaged by some races, particularly humans, who refer to them as “Slags.” Cyclopsman Racial Abilities Movement: Cyclopsmen move 40 feet per round. Darkvision: Cyclopsmen are accustomed to labor underground. As a result, they can see in total darkness up to 40 feet. Detect Secret Doors: When actively searching they may detect hidden or secret doors on a roll of 1-2 on 1d6. Superstitious: Cyclopsmen are highly suspicious of arcane magic. Despite their deep distrust of wizards, they gravitate toward spirituality and organized religion. Alcohol: Cyclopsmen are unable to consume alcohol. For them, alcohol has the same effect as lethal poison (Save or Die). They can consume clotted cream, which has the same intoxicating effect as alcohol. Depth Perception: Cyclopsmen possess poor depth perception and are -2 on all ranged attacks. Resilient: Cyclopsmen are resilient to harsh environments (+1 on saves versus heat and cold). Immunity: Cyclopsmen are immune to poison gas. Languages: Cyclopsmen begin play knowing Suul, the name of their own language. A cyclopsman character may speak Common, Dwarf, Elf, Gnome, or Halfling, subject to Intelligence Modifier. Cyclopsman Starting Age: Fighter or Paladin (12+1d4). Cyclopsman Height and Weight (lbs) Height Modifier Weight Modifier Male 6’2” 1d6 225 3d10 Female 6’1” 1d4 200 2d10 Dwarf Ability Score Requirements: Strength 8, Constitution 12 Ability Score Modifiers: Constitution +1, Charisma -1 Class and Level Limitations: Assassin 5, Cleric 9, Fighter 9, Thief 12 Dwarves are a short (4 to 5 feet tall), stocky, demihuman race. All dwarves have beards, both men and women. They are a strong, proud, and resilient people. As a result, they make excellent warriors. Dwarves can be found in human cities and settlements, but they prefer their own communities in mountains and hillsides. They are excellent miners and craftsmen. Dwarves live 400 years and hold grudges. They have the second lowest reproductive rate of all demi-humans. Role-Playing: Dwarves are xenophobic and are slow to trust those outside their race, especially elves. They take great pride in their ancestral lineage and often carry the name of their sire or grandsire alongside their own. A dwarf might introduce himself as, “Duric Hammerhand, Son of Dulnak, Blood of Dulgar the “Blood Axe.” Although slow to trust, they are loyal and possess a strong sense of community. They love feasting, drinking, and the hammer-chants of their ancestors.

14 Dwarf Racial Abilities Movement: Dwarves have a speed of 20 feet per round. Darkvision: Dwarves are accustomed to life underground. They can see 60 feet in total darkness. Stone Sense: Dwarves feel the earth beneath their feet. Dwarves have a 1-2 in d6 chance of detecting: Stonework Traps, False Walls, New Construction, Unstable Stonework, Toxic Gas, Stonework Secret Doors, and Sloped Passages while underground. Dwarves must concentrate and be within 10 feet to use their Stone Sense (as applicable). Gem Appraisal: Dwarves may appraise gemstones for gold piece value held in-hand (1-2 on d6). Roll failure results in a mis-evaluation (+/- 50% of true value). Saving Throw Bonuses: Dwarves are sturdy and resilient. They receive the following bonuses: Breath +2, Death +4, Stone +4, Wand +3, Spell +4. Racial Enmity: Dwarves receive +1 to hit versus orcs, goblins, hobgoblins, norkers, and bugbears. Weapon Restrictions: Dwarves may not use the halberd, longbow, bastard sword, or the two-handed sword. Armor Class Size Adjustment: When attacked by larger than medium-sized creatures (7 feet or taller), dwarves receive a +4 armor class bonus. Thief Skill Bonuses: Dwarven thieves receive bonuses to Pick Pockets +7%, Find Traps +10%, Climb Walls -10% Languages: Dwarves begin play knowing the Dwarven language. A dwarven character may select Common, Gnome, Goblin, Halfling, or Orc, subject to Intelligence Modifier. Dwarf Starting Age: Assassin or Thief (45+3d6), Fighter (50+3d6), Cleric (60+3d6). Dwarf Height and Weight (lbs) Height Modifier Weight Modifier Male 4’0” 1d6 150 3d6 Female 3’10” 1d6 120 3d6 Elf Ability Score Requirements: Intelligence 8, Dexterity 7, Charisma 8 Ability Score Modifiers: Dexterity +1, Constitution -1 Class and Level Limitations: Assassin 7, Cleric 7, Fighter 7, Magic-User 12, Thief 10 Elves are lithe, sylvan demi-humans with subtly pointed ears. Elves are extremely fair in complexion, eye, and hair color. They have sharp facial features. Elves are slightly shorter than humans, between 5 to 6 feet tall. Although elves may be found in human cities and settlements, they prefer their own secluded woodland communities away from civilization. Elves exist in harmony with the forest and live for 1,000 years. Due to their long lifespans, elves are highly skilled warriors and craftsmen. They have the lowest reproductive rate of all demi-humans. Role-Playing: Elven personalities reflect their exceptionally long lifespans. Years are mere moments to the elven race. As a result, they take a broad view of time and they are not easily incited to hasty words or actions. To most races, elves seem distant, aloof, and staid. Unlike humans, elves are more amused than enthusiastic and more curious than passionate. Elf Racial Abilities Movement: Elves have a speed of 40 feet per round. Darkvision: Elves are accustomed to life under the stars and can see 60 feet in total darkness. Detect Secret Doors: When elves pass near a secret door they receive a passive 1 on d6 chance to automatically detect due to their keen eyesight. When actively searching, elves may detect hidden and secret doors on a roll of 1-2 on 1d6. Racial Weapon: +1 to hit with the longbow. Weapon Restrictions: Elves are too lithe to employ two-handed melee weapons. Paralysis: Elves are immune to ghoul paralysis. Sleep/Charm Immunity: Elves are 90% immune to Sleep and Charm spells. Thief Skill Bonuses: Elven thieves receive bonuses to Pick Pockets +5%, Open Locks -5%, Move Silently +7%, Hide in Shadows +10%, Hear Noise +1 on d6.

15 Languages: Elves begin play knowing Elven and Common. They may select Ancient Common, Dwarf, Gnome, Halfling, Orc, Goblin, Gnoll, as additional languages if their Intelligence modifier permits. Elf Starting Age: Cleric (180+4d8), Fighter (125+4d8), Magic-User (150+4d8), Thief or Assassin (125+3d8). Elf Height and Weight (lbs) Height Modifier Weight Modifier Male 5’3” 1d6 100 3d6 Female 4’9” 1d6 80 2d6 Gnome Ability Score Requirements: Intelligence 7, Constitution 8 Ability Score Modifiers: Charisma -1, Constitution +1 Class and Level Limitations: Assassin 5, Cleric 7, Fighter 6, Illusionist 12, Thief 12 Gnomes are short (3 to 3.5 feet tall), stocky demihumans. They are not as thickset as dwarves, but are sturdier than halflings. They have large heads and noses. Gnomes do not grow beards, but males are known to grow prodigious mustaches. Gnomes live in human settlements, but prefer to dwell in subterranean complexes among their own people. Gnomes live for 300 years and, like dwarves, have a low birthrate. Role-Playing: Gnomes are, at once, both similar to, and different from, dwarves and halflings. Like dwarves they possess an affinity for earth and stone and are capable craftsmen. However, unlike dwarves steeped in ancestral tradition, gnomes live for the moment - with an eye toward the future. They are known for their ingenuity and inventiveness. Gnomes are outstanding alchemists and possess a unique aptitude for illusionary magic. In a world dominated by giant-like humans, gnomes view halfings as kindred spirits and have their zest for life and insatiable curiosity. Gnome Racial Abilities Movement: Gnomes have a speed of 20 feet per round. Darkvision: Gnomes can see 60 feet in total darkness. Weapon Restrictions: Gnomes may not use twohanded melee weapons, longbow, or heavy crossbow. Racial Enmity: Gnomes receive an attack bonus of +1 against kobolds. Underground Sense: Gnomes have a 1-2 in d6 chance of detecting hazardous structures (above or below ground), their depth or direction underground, and can detect sloped passages. Gem Appraisal: Gnomes may appraise gemstones for gold piece value held in-hand (1 on d6). Roll failure results in a mis-evaluation (+/- 50% of true value). Saving Throws: Gnomes receive the following bonuses: Breath +2, Death +4, Stone +4, Wand +1, Spell +2. Illusionists: The duration of all illusionist spells cast by gnomes is increased by 3 rounds. Gnome illusionists may use the light crossbow. Armor Class Size Adjustment: When attacked by larger than medium-sized creatures (7 feet or taller), gnomes receive a +4 armor class bonus. Thief Skill Bonuses: Gnome thieves receive Open Locks +5%, Find Traps +7%, Move Silently +5%, Climb Walls -15%, Hide in Shadows +5%. Languages: Gnomes begin play with the Gnomish. They may select Common, Dwarf, Elf, Halfling, Goblin, or Kobold, if their intelligence modifier allows. Gnome Starting Age:Cleric (50+3d8), Fighter (40+3d8), Illusionist (55+3d8), Thief or Assassin (35+2d8). Gnome Height and Weight (lbs) Height Modifier Weight Modifier Male 3’0” 1d4 40 3d4 Female 2’9” 1d4 30 2d4

16 Halfling Ability Score Requirements: Dexterity 9, Constitution 9 Ability Score Modifiers: Strength -1, Dexterity +1 Class and Level Limitations: Cleric 4, Fighter 6, Thief 14 Halflings are short (3 to 3.5 feet tall) demi-humans. The term halfling refers to being half the size of a human. Halflings have round cherubic faces with curly brown hair, and slightly pointed ears. Halfling feet are large for their short stature and topped with thick hair. They tend to be chubby in appearance and yet are agile and nimble-footed. Male halfings are incapable of growing beards, but may grow sideburns or mutton-chops in later age. They tend to wear drab colours such as browns, muted blues, and greens, that reflect their agrarian and pastoral way of life. Their short, stubby hands are remarkably dexterous, and they make outstanding thieves. Halfings are quick-witted and adept at solving riddles and puzzles. They see gnomes as kindred spirits. At a casual glance, humans often mistake halfings for children. They live for 80 years. Role-Play: Halfings have adapted to a world ruled by humans twice their size. They face prejudice due to their height, but approach the world with a joyful nature, unending patience, and an agreeable disposition, that endears them to all races. Halfings are notoriously curious and possess a child-like naivety and enthusiasm for life. They celebrate life’s simple pleasures, like ale, food, and pipe-weed. Their social nature allows them to fit into any party of adventurers. Halflings have an affinity for sparkling gemstones and treasures, and as a result, many are innocent kleptomaniacs. Humans use the derogatory term “Peck” to refer to halfings - in reference to the unit of measure. In response, halfings refer to any humanoid taller than themselves as “Bigs.” Halfling Racial Abilities Movement: Halflings move 20 feet per round. Darkvision: Halfings can see in total darkness up to 30 feet. Gem Appraisal: Halflings may appraise gemstones held in-hand (1 on d6). Roll failure results in a misevaluation (+/- 50% of true value).

They are not as tall or muscular as humans, nor are they as lithe and agile as elves. They possess the pointed ears of their elven ancestry, with paler skin than humans. Some half-elven men may grow beards. Half-elves are more commonly found among humans than elves, as humans are somewhat more accepting of their mixed heritage. Half-elves live for 200 years. Role-Play: Half-elves feel like outsiders. They exist between human and elven cultures and do not feel at home in either. They have the curiosity and ambition of their human ancestors, alongside a fascination with magic and nature from their elven lineage. As outsiders they possess a natural wanderlust and are often drawn to a life of adventure. Half-elves dress specific to the culture in which they were raised.

They have coarse black hair and gray skin-tones. Half-orcs live shorter lifespans than humans (50 years). Role-Play: Like half-elves, half-orcs exist between cultures. They are ill-tempered, yet they also possess the adaptability of their human ancestry. Half-orcs are accustomed to thriving under difficult circumstances. They tend to be brooding and soft-spoken until angered. Half-orc player-characters are drawn from the small percentage that pass as human in society.

Divine Spells: Clerics are capable of divine magic and may cast a number of spells per day by level. They draw their spells from prayer each morning. Unlike magic-users and illusionists, clerics may select any spell from their spell list by level. Clerics are known for their healing magic, but can cast other types of spells. Clerics are obligated to follow the tenets of their deity when spell-casting. Spell Memorization Limit: Clerics may not memorize the same spell more than once per day without the aid of a magical item.

Turn Undead: By calling upon the power of their deity, a good-aligned cleric may turn (meaning repel) undead creatures. The total number turned is 2d4 hit dice +1 hit die per level of the cleric. Clerics may turn a maximum of three times per day. Each additional turn after the first increases the difficulty by one. Rebuked undead flee the cleric at their fastest movement rate for 1d3 turns plus 1 turn per level. Evil clerics may command undead for the same amount of time. Neutral clerics may turn or command undead. When attempting a turn, the cleric rolls 1d20 and consults the Turning Undead Table. A roll equal or greater than the number listed indicates a successful turn. Note the Maze Controller may adjust this number up or down by one subject to an authoritative and convincing role-play turn attempt. Clerics must prepare a unique invocation, such as “By the power of St. Ygg, I banish you unholy abominations!” Mid-level clerics automatically turn (noted as T for Turn on the table below) and high-level clerics may outright obliterate undead (D for Destroy). A cleric may only turn undead equal to, or lower than, their level.

Barbarians believe the spirits of animal predators drive their bloodlust and they wear wolf or bearskin headdresses in battle. When enraged, barbarians froth at the mouth, bite their shields, and howl as their totem animal. They are distrustful of magic-users, illusionists, and eldritch magic items. Role: Barbarians are savage front-line warriors. Alignment: Barbarians must be of chaotic alignment.

While enraged, the barbarian receives melee combat adjustments (+1 to hit and +2 to damage), plus 3 temporary hit points/level, and a -2 armor class penalty. The bonus hit points are always deducted first. While berserk, the barbarian always attacks the closest opponent (this includes chasing a fleeing opponent). All attack rolls after the rage are at -1 until the barbarian rests for 1d3 hours. A berserk barbarian will continue to fight if wounded below zero hit points - until the battle is concluded, the rage ends, or s/he is reduced to -10 hit points. A barbarian reduced to zero hit points (or below) dies at the conclusion of the rage. Taunting: Taunting a barbarian may induce berserk rage. A successful Intelligence Check negates.

27 Thief Abilities: A barbarian may Move Silently, Climb Walls, and Hear Noise, as a thief of the same level. A barbarian loses the Move Silently and Climb Walls abilities if clad in anything other than leather armor. Henchmen: Barbarians never hire henchmen or hirelings.

A multi-class character may combine two or three classes and experience is divided between them. Experience point bonuses are applied only to classes where requirements are met. All hit points gained by level and Constitution Modifier are divided (by two or three, respectively) to a minimum of one. The PC selects the most favorable Attack Bonus.

In some instances, class abilities conflict. In these situations, a multi-classed character is restricted to the more limiting of the two options. For example, a Fighter/Cleric must use blunt weapons. A Magic-User/ Cleric must wear no armor and is limited to blunt mage weapons. A Fighter/Thief is limited to the armor and weapons of the thief class, and so on. The Maze Controller is the final arbiter of multi-class abilities.

40 Alignment Alignment is fundamental to the DragonslayerTM RolePlaying Game. Alignment provides a basic worldview and value system for a player character (PC) in the context of the game world. Alignments also serve as guidelines for player character development and role-playing. They help clarify the ethical and moral framework for characters. Alignments are not strict rules per se, but should be followed when considered in broad terms. The Maze Controller determines whether a player character falls outside their alignment through in-game behaviour and will offer three warnings prior to requiring an alignment change. PCs are not considered static. Through play they may encounter circumstances that change their worldview, and alignment change can be discussed in concert with the Maze Controller. A player must share their alignment with the Maze Controller, but is not required to share with other players. The alignment system consists across two axis points: Good-Evil and Law-Chaos. These are briefly described below: Good Alignments Lawful Good (LG): Lawful Good PCs uphold the highest principles of order and justice. They strive to be forthright, law-abiding, and compassionate. Lawful good PCs oppose evil in all its forms and, like paladins, are often considered sanctimonious. Neutral Good (NG): Neutral Good player characters value compassion and kindness while refusing strict adherence to authority. They believe good can be achieved in the world through either law or chaos or a balance of the two. As a result, they are flexible in their worldview. Chaotic Good (CG): Chaotic Good PCs value personal freedom and individuality. A CG player character follows his/her own moral compass and does what is right regardless of the established norms of society. They are often labelled as outsiders or rebels by authoritarian regimes. Neutral Alignments Lawful Neutral (LN): Lawful Neutral player characters focus on maintaining order. They believe good and evil may be maintained by following established laws and traditions. They have few moral convictions. Neutral (N): True Neutral PCs seek the balance between law and chaos, good and evil, as nature intended. They may act situationally to prioritize their own interests or a greater goal. Chaotic Neutral (CN): Chaotic Neutral player characters value personal freedom, individuality, and self-interest, above all things. They are unpredictable and act on whims or selfish desires. They have no moral convictions. Evil Alignments Lawful Evil (LE): Lawful Evil player characters prioritize tradition, loyalty, and order, but do so without care for life, dignity, or compassion. They prioritize their own interests in all things and dominate through power achieved by strict adherence to discipline and order. Neutral Evil (NE): These player characters are evil for the sake of evil. They have no strong inclination toward law or chaos unless it suits their immediate goals. They care nothing for life and are the epitome of self-interest. Chaotic Evil (CE): Chaotic Evil PCs value carnage, destruction, and greed, above all. They are unpredictable and engage in random violence merely for pleasure. They are often driven by a desire to cause chaos, destruction, or suffering.

They are assumed to have basic clothing, cloaks, sandals, or boots, etc. Beyond these items, equipment must be purchased from the list on page 43. Weapons The weapons on the list are single-hand weapons. Two-handed weapons are foot-noted. Note that some missile, or ranged, weapons are considered twohanded. A player character may not equip a shield while using a two-handed weapon (melee or ranged). Weapon Damage Type Weapons inflict different types of damage. Blunt weapons (like clubs, maces, flails, etc.) deliver crushing damage. Spears, lances, and darts apply piercing damage. Swords and axes, for example, provide slashing damage. Some weapons, like swords, halberds, daggers, and seax knives, inflict both piercing and slashing damage. When possible, player characters should consider different damage types for their primary and secondary weapons.

42 Missile Weapons and Range Players should note the range of missile weapons, and modifiers, on their character sheets. This information will be referenced for combat attack rolls. Point-Blank Range Note that any range of 5 or 10 feet away constitutes “Point Blank Range” and provides a +1 to the attack and damage roll.

52 Spells Divine spell-casters include clerics, druids, and monks. Arcane spell-casters include magic-users and illusionists. The process of casting a spell requires either divine or arcane spoken language, ritualized gestures, and, occasionally, material spell components. Divine spell-casters pray for spells each morning and arcane casters memorize spells from spellbooks. The total number of spells that may be cast, in both cases, is subject to their level of experience and Wisdom or Intelligence Modifier (respectively). When a spell-caster releases a spell, the mental drain prevents the ability to channel the spell again until the next day. Divine and arcane spell-casters may only memorize new spells after an eight-hour uninterrupted rest. The player must announce their spell choices to the Maze Controller each morning. Spell Constraints As noted above, spell-casters must gesture and recite the necessary magical phrases. Constrained spellcasters (i.e., gagged or bound) may not cast spells. Spells cannot be cast in magical silence. Initiative Player characters (PCs) must announce their desire to cast a spell preceding initiative dice at the start of each combat round. Any disruption, such as taking damage or failing a saving throw, will disrupt the spell and result in failure. If a spell fails, it cannot be cast again until the next day. The target must be within the spell’s range and the caster’s line of sight, unless otherwise specified in the description. Saving Throws Some spells require a saving throw. These are referenced in the description of each spell. A successful saving throw reduces or eliminates a spell effect. Reversible Spells Some spells may be cast in reverse. A spell which is reversible is noted in the spell description. If a player character wishes to cast a reverse spell, s/he must indicate at the time of casting. In some instances, a cleric may face disapproval if s/he casts a reversed spell that counters the alignment or doctrine of their faith. Cumulative Spell Effects In some instances, a caster can combine spells. However, the same spell can never be cast consecutively for a cumulative effect. Starting Spells When beginning play, clerics and druids can choose any spell from their spell list but may only cast a number of spells subject to level and Wisdom Spell Bonus (see the respective character class entries). In the case of magic-users and illusionists, they can only select spells from their spellbooks. Starting spells for arcane casters include Read Magic (Arcane), Detect Magic, and Write. In addition to these spells, three random spells are also included (see the magic-user and illusionist class entries). They can only memorize spells currently written in their spellbooks. Arcane Spell Acquisition Wizards add new spells to their repertoire by discovering scrolls and spellbooks while adventuring. The acquisition of new arcane lore is the primary driving force for wizards - and spells are jealously guarded. When new spells are transferred into a spellbook, they disappear from the scroll from which they were transcribed. Upon attaining a new level, both arcane classes may select a new spell of their choice from that level or lower. Arcane Spellbooks During the course of an adventure, a wizard may desire a backup spellbook, as spellbooks can be destroyed. The process requires 1,100 gold pieces and one week per spell level. For example, if a book contains three Level 1 spells and one Level 2 spell, the process costs 5,500 gold pieces and five weeks. This process requires rigorous, cloistered study and concentration for the time period required. Spellbooks are highly valued. Many wizards will create duplicate books, one for travelling and one hidden away from danger (use the above for approximate cost). Spell Channeling Clerics may spontaneously convert any first level spell for Cure Light Wounds. Illusionists and magic-users may spontaneously convert any first level spell for Detect Magic or Read Magic (Arcane). Spell Memorization Limit Spell-casters, divine or arcane, may not memorize the same spell more than once per day without use of a magical item.

53 Spell Languages Spells are written in two languages. Divine spell-casters use Ancient Common (akin to Latin and the celestial speech of the heavens). Arcane spell-casters use Black Tongue (the guttural speech of the Lower Planes). Spell Scrolls and Spellstones Divine and arcane spell-casters may write their own spell scrolls at a cost of 250gp per spell level. The scribing time is one week per spell level (must be able to cast). Scrolls can hold a maximum of three spell levels. Note that dwarven clerics and druids can carve spellstones (runestones) in a similar manner. Combat and Casting Time As noted earlier, spell-casters must declare their intent to cast and the spell name prior to rolling initiative dice. The spell takes effect on the spell-caster’s turn in the Order of Action (see Combat). Select spells require longer casting times and are not intended for melee. When outside melee, spells may be cast at the discretion of the caster in concert with the Maze Controller. How to Read Spell Descriptions Each spell entry is listed with the spell name, level, duration, and range, followed by its description: Level refers to the level of the spell. The caster’s level determines whether the spell is available for casting. Duration refers the time period the spell is in effect. Range indicates how far away the caster can throw the spell and the centering of the spell’s effect (if applicable). When necessary, spell descriptions reference an “area of effect.” The area of effect could be a 20x20 foot radius centered on the caster. Other spells are focused on an individual only, such as the caster or one recipient, and have a range of 0 or N/A (Not Applicable). These spells typically indicate a “touch” range where the being, creature, or thing, must be touched to activate the spell. In some instances, because of the dweomer type, the spell area of effect and the range are identical. Spell Descriptions Abner’s Faithful Hound Level: 5 (Magic-User) Duration: 2 Rounds/Level Range: 10 Feet This spell summons a spectral guard-dog. The dog guards a 30x30 foot area designated at the time of casting. The hound barks incessantly if an intruder approaches (larger than rat-sized). The hound senses and sees ethereal, invisible, and phased beings or creatures. Abner’s Faithful Hound attacks as HD: 10 for 3d6 points of damage if the trespasser turns and flees. The dog’s bite is equivalent to a magic weapon (+3). The hound is immune to attack, but may be dispelled. The caster dismisses the spell when s/he leaves area of effect. Abner’s Magic Sword Level: 7 (Magic-User) Duration: 1 Round/Level Range: 30 Feet The caster conjures a glowing sword of energy (6d4 damage). While using the sword, the magic-user attacks as a fighter (at half the caster’s level, round up) and always hits on a natural attack roll of 19-20. The energy sword strikes as a magical weapon, and may hit phased-creatures or opponents on the Astral or Ethereal planes. Dispel Magic will dismiss Abner’s Magic Sword. Affect Normal Fires Level: 1 (Magic-User) Duration: 1 Round/Level Range: 5 Feet/Level Through this spell the caster can alter a mundane fire. The flame can be as small as a torch, or up to, and including, a bonfire. The caster can only manipulate the fire’s brightness. For example, a wizard could reduce the fire to a candle or increase the brightness to the spell Light. However, the heat emitted never changes beyond its original size. Shrinking, or growing, a fire reduces/increases fuel consumption by 50% or 100%, respectively. Airy Water Level: 5 (Magic-User) Duration: 1 Turn/Level Range: N/A This spell conjures a bubble of breathable atmosphere in water (or liquid-based medium). The bubble is centered on, and moves with, the caster. The area of effect is a 20x20 foot sphere, or a 40 foot radial
