ADVENTURE SKILLS
Unless
the character was raised in an affluent household or in a large
city, a character is assumed to know how to climb and hunt at Rank
0 when the character is generated. If the character grew up
in a city/town/village near a river or other major body of water,
there is an 80% chance that the character begins with Swimming at
Rank 0 as well.
Climbing
- The base chance of climbing any surface with handholds is equal
to [(3 X MD) + (10 X RK)] minus the height in feet squared / 10.
The following modifiers apply:
MODIFIERS
-
15% in the dark
-
20% if surface is smooth/sheer with no handholds
+
50% if using a rope
|
Hunting
- Roll d10 once per day, add modifiers, divide by 10, subtract 1
to determine number of days' rations for one person acquired by
hunting.
MODIFIERS
+5
per Rank with Hunting
+1 per Rank with Missile Weapon
+1 per Point of Perception
+1 per Rank with Ranger
+2 per Rank (if Ranger of same terrain)
+2 per hour of hunting
-20 in Desert / Waste
+10 in Forest / Swamp |
Swimming
- A character's chance of successfully swimming across an expanse
of water depends upon the distance to be crossed and the duration
of the swim. The base chance is equal to [(3 X AG) + (10 X
RK) - (Duration squared)] where Duration is equal to the number
of minutes divided by 15. The following modifiers apply:
| Situation |
Modifier |
| calm
water |
+30 |
| rough
water |
-30 |
| unprepared
to swim |
-20 |
| encumbered |
encumbrance
squared |
| wearing
armor |
agility
modifier squared |
| armored
& encumbered |
(encumbrance
+ AG mod.) squared |
To
save a companion, the swimmer must roll [(2 X AG) + (5 X RK)], modified
by +20 for calm water, -30 for rough. The victim loses D10
Endurance points for nearly drowning, and can make a second roll
for swimming.
If
non-skilled at swimming, it is possible to float by rolling (4 X
AG) divided by the number of minutes the character must maintain
floating.
