EMO Basick Rules: Sorcerers and Druids


Still some inconsistencies and rewrites will be happening still. Will start a book while im in sydney and make more uniform hopefully to play in new year. Think I will go back and replace previous cantrips that need 4 not three.

Another Spot Rule Unarmed Combat Damage
Same damage can be with a thrown rock

  • 1HP = Wizard, Sorcerer, Druid, Gnome, Bard, Outsider (Alien)
  • 1d2 = Cleric, Rogue, Elves, Tako, Mutant, Changeling
  • 1d3 = Fighter, Dwarf, Abhuman, Halflings, Giant, Robot (Golem), Mystic (Psion)
  • 1d4 = Monk
Summary of Taxable Land Units and Population

-Supports a family of five a well off extended family might control 2-5 hide
-supports a working ox or a meat cow a year or ten smaller animals like pigs and goats

-6 Hide support a poor noble family and a knight or equivalent
-12 Hide support a comfortable family
 and two knight or equivalent
