Your hero: Assign 3 points to STRength, DEXterity, CONstitution, WISdom, INTelligence and CHArisma (maximum 2), then choose a class below.
Engine: Rolls are 2d6+Stat vs target number: 6 to 10 as determined by the DM. (Hipsters like me can also use the *World 6-/7-9/10+ framework) Roll STR or DEX to hit, INT or WIS for spells, CHA for reaction, WIS to notice, CON to resist poison, etc.
- In combat, you can attack STR times.
- Roll CON d6 for your hit points. 0 CON gives you 1hp.
- Your Armour Class is equal to 6+DEX+armour.
- If you can pay them, you can hire up to CHA followers.
