CHARACTER GOALS

To complete your hero, we must go through setting up your characters goals. These can be simple or
complex and can range from short-term to long-term. Goals are up to you but there are a few things you

There are 3 slots for Goals on your character sheet and one must be used. It can either be short- or
long-term but the minimum is 1 Goal. No more than 3 goals are allowed for simplicity’s sake.

the end of each adventure, I grant a bonus based on tasks handled.

Story Tellers' Discretion

CHARCTER TIES/RELATIONSHIPS
Now, an important aspect of Role-Playing is Relationships. Falling in love is one thing but developing
contacts and friends is another. Right now, relationships I have no rules set for, I just let my players act
that out themselves. But based on the Contacts Talent, I have a system in place to build contacts and
friendships.

Building character Contacts:

First the player makes the roll stated in the Contacts Talent; if successful the target is now a contact,
granting favors for favors. More rolls can be made on the same target for increased effects see chart for
more info.

Level Threshold Bonus

Acquaintance 0 The person will grant you a favor but you will owe them in
return and only small favors
Companion 10 The person will see you as a potential asset, allowing more to be
gained from them, so long as you keep your end of the deal
Friend 15 The person will see you as a good person, granting you access to
things other may not get, even information
 Partner 20 The person holds nothing from you

The Threshold is an Advanced Test based on Ability Tests to persuade the person. Once the
Threshold is reached, the benefit is gained. Every time you interact with that person, add the Dragon Die
to the threshold like normal. This can be done over much greater time and thus some people may take
longer to persuade.

The TN for gaining an Acquaintance should begin at 9. Increasing it based on culture and race and
other factors is up to the GM. Once the person becomes an Acquaintance, the TN is increased by one
level, to TN 11. To gain a Friend, it is increased one more level to TN 13. To gain a partner is a two level
jump to a TN of 17. The TN increases are for gaining information or favors. Failing a Test on the person
will force a -2 penalty on the following Test rolls. However, it will not increase TN or the Threshold. This
just makes it a bit harder to convince the person to help.

Also, keep in mind that you could also make a person dislike you. This could be done through
intimidation or blackmail. While the Acquaintance rules remain the same, the following changes are for
a negative response to you.

Level Threshold Bonus

Unsettled 10 They will give you information but a deal can be made, one that benefits
you more and the guards may or may not hear of it
Afraid 15 They will give you information and hope you don’t harm them
Terrified 20 They grant you anything you want so long as they can go home alive

Fear is a good thing to have, but some may not easily scare and instead become a rival. Rivals are
those who flat out hate you and will do anything to ruin your day. A person who is afraid of you can
easily become a Rival. The same rules apply but instead…

Level Threshold Negative

Competitor 10 Will give you false information or set up a minor trap
Rival 15 Will not give you any information and will try to get you into trouble
Nemesis 20 May try to kill you or set you up for a crime you didn’t commit

The Threshold for a Rival is how far you have to go to convince them to back off. Someone who is a
Nemesis may be convinced you aren’t a bad person but it will take a hell of a lot of convincing. In that
case, a Nemesis TN begins at TN 17 and will get decreases as the level does in reverse order of a
Contact. Sometimes, making a deal with the person decrease the level, but it must fit in with their goals
as well as yours. If one thing goes wrong, they may try to kill you upright.

COMBAT ODDITIES
Now, in the DARPG, the combat system is rather simple, and while that is not really a bad thing, I
came up with some new ideas that can enhance a player’s game. I have divided these into five
categories; Attack Penalties, Called Shots, Defensive Actions, Cover, and Team Attacks.

MOVE, CHARGE, and RUN

MOVE: is equal to your characters Speed
CHARGE: Is equal to Half your Speed, but you get a +1 to Attack
RUN: Is equal to Twice your Speed

Attack Penalties:
In the DARPG, attack penalties are just generalized penalties based on a circumstance negative.
Here, I have refined it a bit into a small list that can be used as a reference guide. Also, more can be
added, depending on the GM’s circumstances.
Circumstance Penalty
Bad Light -1 to attack/-1 to all Perception (Seeing) Tests
Complete Dark -2 to attack/-2 to all Perception (Seeing) Tests
Prone -2 melee attack/-1 ranged attack
Crouched -1 melee attack/no penalty for ranged attacks
Off-hand weapon -2 melee/void if you have the Duel Weapon Style Novice Rank

Called Shots:
Sometimes, one may wish to hit a specific part of their targets body. This is called a ‘Called Shot’. It
can be both melee or ranged and introduces a penalty for the difficulty of the target.
(Types: Easy -1, Tricky -2, Hard -3, Challenging -4, Impossible -5)
Location Type Penalty
Head Tricky -2
Eye Impossible -5
Neck* Challenging -4
Chest Easy -1
Heart Impossible -5
Vitals Challenging -4
Arm Easy -1
Leg Easy -1
Hand** Tricky -2
Foot** Tricky -2
Joint Hard -3
* You can decapitate a target by increasing the penalty to a -6.
** You can sever the hand or foot by increasing the penalty to a -5.

Defensive Actions:
 Defensive Actions are taken when you decide to defend rather than attack. You can gain the bonus
to your Defense Score for the round you chose to defend.
Action Bonus
Dodge (Lower INTV) +1
Block (Higher INTV) see below
Unarmed vs. Unarmed +1
Unarmed vs. Weapon +2
Weapon vs. Unarmed +0
Weapon vs. Weapon +1
Parry +2
NOTE:
For the Block it is attackers’ weapon vs. your weapon. So if your target is attacking with a fist
(Unarmed) and you have a Sword, you will use the Unarmed vs. Weapon Bonus (+2). If you have no
weapon and they are attacking with a sword, you use the Weapon vs. Unarmed (+0).
Parry is a deflection of their weapon, not a strait on block. With a parry, you knock their weapon off
target, not just stopping it.

Cover:
As a Major Action, you can take Cover. The bonus to Defense you get depends on the exposure
level. The more exposed, the less the bonus. But remember, too much cover means you cannot attack
either.
Exposure Level Bonus/Notes
Head Exposed +3 DEF/-2 to any attack/Must come out of cover to attack
Head/Shoulders Exposed +2 DEF/-1 to any attack/Must come out of cover to attack
Half Body +1 DEF/-1 to any attack/Must come out of cover to attack
Light Cover (Brush) +1 DEF
Person (Human Shield) +2 DEF/-1 to any attack
Prone, No Cover +2 DEF/-2 attack unless you use a Crossbow/Major action to stand
Prone, Light Cover +3 DEF/-2 attack unless you use a Crossbow/Major action to stand
Crouched +1 DEF/Minor action to stand/Move at half speed
Total Cover +4DEF/Cannot attack at all unless you expose your head or move from
cover

Team Attacks:
Team Attacks are when two or more people attack the same target. What will happen here is that all
peoples attacking will roll their attack. You then take the highest against their DEF. if it beats their DEF,
then they will take damage equal to half the combined total.

EXAMPLE: three people are attacking an armored thug with a DEF of 14. Theirs rolls are 12, 15, and
18. They also gain a +2 attack for having three in the team (14, 17, and 20). The highest rolled was 20, so
the attacks win. Then damage is rolled to be 12, 13, and 8. 12+13+8=33. Half of 33 (Rounded down) is
16. The Thug is wearing leather armor with an AR of 10. This means that he then takes 6 damage from
all of those attacks. BUT: since there were more than 2 in this team attack, they deal an additional +2
damage, regardless of AR for a total of 8 damage to this thug.
Follow the chart below to determine how much extra damage for the number of people in the team
attack.
# in team Attack Bonus Damage Bonus
2 +1 +1
3 +2 +2
4 +3 +3
5 +4 +4

Remember: Any character that is unconscious can be killed in one shot by a Coup de Grace.

happen and must be healed. They induce a penalty that must be healed over time with an Advanced
Tests Threshold.

Ranged Attack Fire a ranged attack at a target within the weapons range
Run Move up to twice your Speed but take no other action
Push You can make an opposed STR (Might) test vs. your targets STR (Might) or DEX
(Acrobatics). Upon success, you push the target back yards equal to your Dragon Die
Minor Actions:
Activate Use certain powers or readied potions and the like
Aim Plan your attack, granting a +1 on your attack roll, but the attack must be your next
move
Guard Up You can add either a +1 or +2 to your DEF until the end of the round with a
corresponding negative to any Test made this round. This must be taken before any
Major action this round
Move You can move up to your Speed in yards. You can also go prone, stand up, or mount
a horse or vehicle, but if you do so you can only move at half Speed (rounded down).
If you start a round prone and do not stand up, you may only move at half Speed.
Prepare Chose a Major action and wait. You can interrupt any character’s or NPC’s turn to
use that action. But you must use it or lose it and you cannot make a Major Action
before using this
Press the Attack You stand ready to pursue an enemy if they should fall back or flee your blows.
Declare an adjacent enemy combatant when you do this action. Until the beginning
of your next turn, if that enemy moves away from you, you may immediately move
up to your Speed in yards in direct pursuit of that enemy at no additional cost in
actions. This occurs immediately after your foe’s movement, before they can do
anything else. However, you can only use this minor action on an enemy you have
already successfully struck in melee combat this turn (whether you inflicted damage
or not). When you make your move, it need not bring you adjacent to that enemy if
you can’t go that fast. In that case, you simply move as far as you can before
stopping. You are free to forego some or all of the movement this action allows
when your enemy triggers it, if you wish.
Ready Unsheathe a weapon, pull out a potion, or otherwise ready any item available to
you. You can also put things away.
Stand Firm Until the beginning of your next turn, anyone trying to use the Knock Prone and
Skirmish stunts must make a STR (Might) vs. either your STR (Might) or DEX
(Acrobatics) in order to make those successful. The Stunt Points are still used
whether or not they were successful.

REMEMBER:
Cast and Reload can be either Major or Minor depending on circumstances and power/weapon
descriptions
