Encounters

Definitions

Amar is populated by a generous wildlife as well as several humanoids and other creatures. The Game Master is adviced to use the online character and random encounter generator to automate encounters and make game play swift and efficient.

Please note that in creating encounters manually, the Game Master will roll dice to determine attributes and skills. As usual, a D6 means to roll one 6-sided dice, 2D6 means rolling two dice and adding them for a total, while D6/2+2 means "roll a dice, divide by two (round up) and add two to get the total. An O6 means an open-ended roll with a 6-sided dice (see The Character) and 3O6+5 would mean to roll three open-ended dice and adding 5 for the total score.

Attack skills are given in parenthesis behind the weapon(s). The skill is modified by the Off/Def given. Add the Damage Bonus for the encounter to the weapon's Dam to get the total damage for the weapon.

For humanoids, the potential for each attribute is also given (when there are two numbers, the first is for males, the other for females).

Base movement in flat terrain (plains) for every creature is covered under each encounter ("Move"). The base movement for humans is 30 kilometers per day. This includes carrying equipment/weapons/armor, resting and meal breaks and travelling 10 hours per day. The movement in combat is the base movement in meters x0.4 per round (i.e. 12 for humans)
