The Dragon Tablets: Iteration Three – Playtest

Pretty much the same scenario as last time, so much so that we use the Iteration Two Orc Bandits without change. But as there are only two heroes this time, there will only be eight orcs. As with last time, they will not defend or all-out attack and they will go down at 0 hp.

Setting the Stage

The two bounty hunters, Casara and Said are traveling on foot through a wooded area during the daytime and nothing is out of the ordinary.

Turn 1

Eight orc bandits ambushed the duo from the trees. But as Said has Enhanced Time Sense, he acts first no matter what. And Casara has Combat Reflexes so instead of being Total Surprise, this is treated as Partial Surprise.

Said has Danger Sense and knows that something is off.

Casara is the leader, she has both Combat Reflexes and is trained in Tactics, she also has the highest IQ. So she rolls 1d+4 for 10. the orc leader has Combat Reflexes, so he rolls at 1d+2, with no chance of getting a higher result. So both heroes act first.

Said teleported to the archers, rolling 10 vs. 13+10-10 =13 to do so instantly. Rolling 11 to be able to act and another 11 to draw his shortsword in no time. He then stuck the sword in one archer’s vitals, rolling 16 vs. 17-3 and missed. Repeating his move, he rolled 4, a critical hit. Rolling 4 for damage and tripling that to 12 for a hit to the vitals which killed the orc.

Casara rolled 12 and drew her sword instantly and moved up on the orcs. Aiming at the neck, she rolled 9 and decapitated one orc, but rolled 12 on the second attack and as she Moved and Attacked, that was a miss.

The archer moved away from the others.

Both orcs with knives attacked Said and rolling 8 and 9 was good enough to hit. But Said rolled 9 and 12 and dodged the first attack. The other rolled 0 for damage and did none.

Both orcs with clubs and the remaining spear attacked Casara. Both orcs with clubs rolled 12, good enough to hit, but the spear rolled 13 and missed. But Casara rolled 8 and 10 and dodged both attacks.

Turn 2

Said teleported to the remaining archer rolling 5 to do it in no time and 9 to be able to act. He rolled 11 to attack and skewered him in the vitals, bringing another orc down. He then moved back to the others, rolled 9 and skewered a knife-wielding orc.

Casara went for the neck again, but rolled 15 and 14 and missed.

The remaining orc with a knife attacked Said again and rolled 9, but he dodged with an 11.

The two club-wielding orcs attacked Said this time. One rolled 17 for a critical failure and rolled 14 on the critical miss table, losing his grip on the club that landed 6 yards away and the orc went to the club. The other clubber rolled 10 and Said failed to dodge with a roll of 14. And the orc rolled 3 damage, but his coat protects him and he only suffers 1 hp of injury, thus being at -1 his next turn.

The remaining spear continued to attack Casara and rolled 9 for a hit, but she rolled 10 and dodged.

Turn 3

Said focused on the club-wielding orc, rolled 8 and skewered him. He then teleported, rolling 10 to do so immediately and 10 to be able to act afterward. He then rolled 8 and skewered the club fetching orc he had pursued.

Casara continued with her neck attacks and rolled 10 and 11 and rolled 9 and 5, doubling with the cutting wound modifier for the neck and both of them lost their heads.

Notes

Both of them are able to attack twice per turn. One of them can teleport instantly. The expectation was that this playtest would be faster than the previous ones. Having them fight an enemy where they can fully take advantage of their Entercian silver and Matruskan steel swords and compare that to what a fight without such weapons would be like could be interesting.

The Dragon Tablets: Iteration Three – Said bun al-Khalashadi 1.1

Unnamed by Unknown

Said is an Elessarian that has been alchemically altered into an Acrobat (character template) with the Accidental hero (motivational lens). He is always on the move and as a bounty hunter, he has been partnered with Casara for some time.

The Dragon Tablets: Iteration Three – Casara Stormwatch 1.0

Unnamed by Unknown

Casara was born as a high elf, but was given to the Warlocks in her youth. She took well to the alchemical alterations they submitted her to and became a bounty hunter, something of a mix of a Jedi and a Witcher. But without the more overt super powers. She picked the Warlock (racial/character template) and the Law Enforcement (motivational lens) and her gear is much more expensive than she could afford because it was suitable to her role.

Notes

Pacifism: Pacifism wasn’t on her list of disadvantages, but you don’t have to follow a template’s disadvantage list if you don’t want to.
Parry Missile Weapons: This skill was not on the list, but because of overlap between the template and the lens, there were four points to spare.

Warlock Medallion: The image doesn’t quite fit with the description in the Enchantment post. Other than that, the description is generally correct, though the pricing was off. On the black market, such a medallion would be worth about $220,000.

Warlock Medallions provide the following traits: Detect (Supernatural Beings; Reflexive, +40%), Detect (Magic; Ranged, +40%; Reflexive, +40%), and Danger Sense. The Ranged modifier isn’t usually used for Detect, but as the medallion can communicate this information to the owner from a distance, this seemed close enough to that.

Top Image: I found this image allover the place. I couldn’t find any information about who created it. So I’m listing it as unknown and linking it to the search results for the image.

The Dragon Tablets: Iteration Three – Races of Menorra

I am a big proponent of humans are humans, or in other words, that there is only one human race. In Tamriel, from the Elder Scrolls, that isn’t the case. So we went with that view for Iteration Two. In Star Wars they get around that by having one human race and a number of near-human races. But I’d like to avoid that too, at least for Iteration Three. Thus, we’re only going to have one human race.

Humans (Nen)

Racial Cost: 0 points

Human is the base racial template in GURPS or in other words, GURPS is based around the average human. Thus no additional trait is needed to be an average human. We mentioned a few new places in recent posts, so we mention the people who live there here too.

Red Portrait by elenasamko

Celdons come from Celdonia and generally have pale skin, red hair, and light eyes.

Elessarians come from Elessar and generally have tanned skin, dark hair, and dark eyes.

My new norn necro, Sivrunn, by Baewall

Gords generally have tanned to dark skin, black hair, and dark eyes. The tribes of Gordfast are ruled by the strongest, so there is much focus on combat.

Oriental Fantasy by Esmira

Mâzhus come from Mâzhu and generally have oriental skin, black hair, and dark eyes.

The Guardian by LAS-T

Palatials generally have tanned skin, dark hair, and dark eyes. Cornia is the heart of the empire.

Nobility by merillizaART

Soders generally have pale skin, fair hair, and light eyes. Celement, the home of Soders, has a cold climate and is ruled by hardy warriors.

Wellens generally have pale skin, fair to medium hair, and dark eyes. They are from Rockwell.

Elves (Nice)

Yes, other than the meaning we are more familiar with, "nice" is one of the Common words used to identify elves. Its etymology is from Elven and refers to the elves themselves, in the plural. The word "elves" is a much older Common word. "Nice" started as a racial slur, referring both to elves and to elf-loving humans as a noun. But also as an adjective referring to anything that was too elf-like.

It is now much more complex. Older generations of elves still see the word as it started, while younger generations of elves, a few generations down the line from when it all started, have claimed it for their own. Still, most of them would consider humans who use the term crossing the line. While humans using the term amongst themselves will almost certainly know if "nice" is the old term or the new term.

The etymology of the word "nen," mentioned above, also is elven and means human, humans, and humanity.

Interbreeding

Humans and elves can interbreed with each other. And both can interbreed with the bestial races, though these half-breeds will be infertile. But the bestial races cannot interbreed with each other. To create a half-breed, choose which race is dominant. The dominant race determines appearance, though the other race may have minor influences. Select racial traits from the dominant racial template equal to half its racial point cost or less. Then select racial traits from the other racial template, that does not contradict the traits you have already picked, totaling no more than half its racial point cost.

The Dragon Tablets: Iteration Three – Armor & Shields

Heroic Armor set by JophieIS

The Elder Scrolls have a lot of different types of armor and shields that at various times have been classified in various ways. GURPS have different types of armor too, though not as many, and I want those two lists to work together. One way to do that would be to make GURPS rules for each of the armors in TES. That seems like too much work to me. Especially in this step by step, iteration based, creative process that I’m using. So let’s not do that.

Another way would be using the more limited list of GURPS stated armors while giving the player freedom enough to define what that means. Or in other words, to some extent, design their own armor. Buy something on the list, use its DR, cost, and weight, but decide for yourself what the armor looks like. This way, TES armor that look different and have different names, but have similar stats, can be covered by one GURPS armor set.

Secondly, allowing armors of other materials than ordinary cloth/fur, leather, and steel will change the stats of those armors and allow them to fulfill the roles of additional armor.

We are using GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 1: Adventurers and GURPS Low-Tech for the armors and shields.

Armor Modifiers

Demonic: It works as Dwarven from Dungeon Fantasy Chapter Five, but it works up to DR +4 which weighs 1.8 times as much and is CF +4. CF varies.

Dragonbone: It works as Dragonhide from Dungeon Fantasy Chapter Five, for any plate armor. DF varies.

Dragonhide: It works as Dragonhide from Dungeon Fantasy Chapter Five, for all hard leather armors and all scale armors. DF varies.

Dragonsteel: It works as Dragonhide from Dungeon Fantasy Chapter Five, but for all metal armor and gives -3 reaction from Knights of Celemana and friends and family of the rightful owner instead of from dragons. DF varies.

Entercian Silver: It works as Thieves’ from Dungeon Fantasy Chapter Five, but it ignores encumbrance for all reasons. CF +9.

Elven: Any armor can be Elven. If the base armor has divided DR, Elven armor uses the higher DR for all damage. Other armor has +1 DR. All Elven armor has 3/4 normal weight. Split DR armor is CF +12 and other armor is CF +49.

Fine: It works as Fine from Dungeon Fantasy Chapter Five. CF +9.

Giant Spider Silk: It works as Giant Spider Silk from Dungeon Fantasy Chapter Five. CF +99.

Gnomish: Any metal armor can be Gnomish. It either works as Orichalcum from Dungeon Fantasy Chapter Five or it doubles the DR for +99 CF. CF varies.

Iron: Any metal armor can be made of iron. It has the listed weight, but counts as cheap.

Matruskan Steel: Any metal armor can be made out of Matruskan Steel. It otherwise works as Orichalcum from Dungeon Fantasy Chapter Five. CF +29.

Meteoric: It works as Meteoric from Dungeon Fantasy Chapter Five. CF +19.

Ornate: It works as Ornate from Dungeon Fantasy Chapter Five. CF varies.

Spiked: It works as Spiked from Dungeon Fantasy Chapter Five. CF +2.

Dragonhide, Dragonsteel, Enterican Silver, Giant Spider Silk, Gnomish, Iron, Matruskan Steel, and Meteoric are mutually exclusive. Demonic, Elven, and Gnomish are mutually exclusive. Armor made of Entercian Silver cannot be Ornate.

Armor Table

We are using GURPS Low-Tech for armor the stats in the following table. The first line is cost and the second is weight. In Low-Tech, only the cost and weight for the torso is listed and there’s a table with percentages to calculate weight and cost for the rest of the body. For ease of use, those calculations have already been made. But all armors are also lighter than they were in Low-Tech.

Armor: The type of armor.

DR: How much the armor protects. This is not listed for armors taken from the books to avoid fair use issues. This is just a tool to help those that have the books, they are not supposed to supplant them.

Head: Covers the entire head, except the face. Unless the full face is included.

Body: Covers neck, torso, and groin. Breastplates cover only from the front and are half price and weight.

Arms: Covers the arms.

Hands: Covers the hands.

Legs: Covers the legs.

Feet: Covers the feet. If the shin cost and weight is included, the boots end just below the knees.

Suit: Covers your entire body.

Page: The page in Low-Tech where you can find this type of armor in the armor table. The DR and notes may be the most interesting as those are not listed here.

On Your Own: Arms, Hands, Legs, and Feet come in pairs. If you only want one of them, you can get them for half cost and weight.

Description: You buy the armor and you determine what it looks like. Some of the modifiers mentioned above, may limit your design options.

How to Dress in Town

Most heroes are prudent enough to wear armor in the field, but wearing armor in town is asking for trouble. Unless you have a job that requires you to wear armor in town. Wearing any armor in town gives you -1 penalty to reactions. If the armor is made of metal or your face is covered, that becomes -2. And if both of those are true, the penalty becomes -4.
