    UNIVERSAL: Epic Fantasy


    SIMPLE REALITY RPG RULES SUPPLEMENT
    For Miniature Wargames and Role Playing Games of the Epic Fantasy Genre

    INTRODUCTION

    Epic Fantasy: Lord of the Rings, Dragonlance, and Future’s End: Past’s Beginning. These are but a few of the classic titles that epitomize the Genre of Epic Fantasy. Epic Fantasy consists of the following commonalities: medieval
    technical development, antediluvian setting when the Earth was full of Elves, Dwarves, Goblins and Dragons, good and powerful Wizards wielding spells, evil Sorcerers embrace by darkness that are determined to rule the world,
    and epic battles. Epic Fantasy usually builds on a single plot line. Each adventure adds to the conclusion of a great goal: to stop the forces of darkness from controlling the world. Heroes start off inexperienced and often young. As
    they continue to fight for the salvation of the world, often under the direction of an immensely powerful and good Wizard, they grow in character, in toughness and in morality. The final end of a campaign is the bloodiest of all of
    their battles with the entire planet as the prize. Fire balls, Elfish arrows, Dwarfish Axes and magical swords from both sides create an orchestra of destruction as pure good and pure evil meet to ultimately decide the fate of
    mankind, elfkind, dwarfkind and Magic itself!

    At last there is a generic RPG System with precise and realistic combat and skill resolution rules (which still allow a GM and Player to advance their characters skills to add a cinematic touch) which are neither burdensome nor
    reliant on tables. And that RPG System is UNIVERSAL!

    These rules are the accumulation of 18 years of research into:


    Miniature Wargames
    Role Playing Games
    Amateur and Professional Marksmanship Statistics
    Amateur and Professional Archery Statistics
    Amateur and Professional Fencing Statistics
    Dice Probability

    WHAT YOU NEED TO USE THESE RULES

    MONSTERS

    While often the big bad guy is a powerful Sorcerer, his magical might is concentrated on summoning and creating monsters to serve as his minions. Monsters are often twisted versions of other species in Epic Fantasy. Following
    JRR Tolkien’s example:
    Orcs (Goblins) are twisted versions of elves.
    Trolls, Ents;
    Flying Dragons, Giant Eagles.

    Here is a list of Monsters that are common to the Epic Fantasy Genre. Only the Monster Level and any additional Mental Skills (Combat) are listed, as these are all that is pertinent to Epic Fantasy Battles:

    Monster Monster Level Mental Skills (Combat) Magic Treasure Chance


    Goblin 1 Nil
    Half-Goblin 2 Two 6’s on 3d6
    Troll 6 Two 6’s on 3d6
    Skeleton 1 Nil
    Zombie 1 Nil
    Wight 3 Two 6’s on 2d6
    Wraith 4 Two 6’s on 3d6
    Cold Dragon 7 One 6’ on 1d6
    (Non-Flying)
    Hot Dragon 12 Sorcerer 6 One 6 on 1d6
    (Flying)
    Demon of Fire 15 Sorcerer 15 One 6 on 1d6
    and Darkness
    Giant 12 Sorcerer 4 Two 6’s on 3d6
    Vampire 9 Sorcerer 9 Two 6’s on 3d6

    MAGICAL TREASURE

    Gold means little to intrepid heroes and wizards. However magical treasure aids them in their quest to defeat evil. When a successful Magical Treasure Roll is made after defeating the monster(s) then roll on the table below to
    determine what the treasure is:

    1. Magical Sword- Roll 1d6. This is the number of bonus Swordsman Levels that it gives the Hero when he is using it. (For Role Playing Purposes you can make it an Axe is a Dwarf is to use it);
    2. Magical Staff- Roll 1d6. This is the number of bonus Wizard Levels it gives the Wizard when he is using it.
    3. Magical Bow- Roll 1d6. This is the number of bonus Archer Levels it gives the Hero when he is using it.
    4. Healing Draught- Roll 1d6. This is the number of doses it provides. For each time a character partakes in a dose he heals 1 hit.
    5. Magical Armor- Roll 1d6. This is the number of bonus hits that a Hero or Wizard receives when he is in Physical Combat. For instance, if he has a combined Physical Skills (Combat) of 3 levels and he is wearing Magical
    Armor 2, then it takes five hits instead of 3 to defeat him. This is figured into the entire battle, not just one turn, of course. But each battle, regardless of how many hits he had received during the previous one, that armor
    always provides the predetermine amount of bonus hits he can take before being defeated.
    6. Magical Ring- When this ring is donned the character is immune to all Physical Attacks except by Wraiths and Demons and may still participate in Physical and/or Mental Combat while he is ethereal. However for each turn
    that the character has the ring on he receives 1 Evil Point (See Allegiances below).

    EXPERIENCE POINTS

    While realistic combat and task resolutions are great for a starting Hero or Wizard, Epic Fantasy by its nature is very cinematic. So Experience Point awards should take a more accelerated for. When playing in an Epic Fantasy
    Campaign, characters should receive 1 Experience Point for each:
    Monster Level and Sorcerer Level of a Monster or Sorcerer defeated
    Bonus Level a magical Treasure Item bestows (With a Magical Ring counting a 6 Experience Points)

    MAGICAL NON-COMBAT

    A Time will arrive when a Wizard, Elf or Sorcerer will wish to cast a spell to obtain a particular event, instead of simply shooting magical bolts in combat, hoping for a fire ball (Spell Complexity 3) or meteor swarm (Spell
    Complexity 9). In order to do this the Game Master must determine what Spell Complexity Level the conceived spell result is. Here are some basic examples:

    Spell Complexity Example


    1 Magically lock a door
    2 Become invisible until attacking
    3 Dispel a spell
    4 Create a wall of fire
    5 Teleport
    6 Dispel a magical item
    7 Become Ethereal
    8 Project Astral Body into the Astral Plane (Watch
    your Silver Cord though; Demons can sever it
    with on two 6’s on one attack roll)
    9 Create a Gate to another Plane of Existence (like
    Heaven, Purgatory, Limbo or Hell)
    10 Level an entire city

    In order to successfully cast that specified spell the Wizard, Elf or Sorcerer must roll a number of sixes equal to the spell’s complexity level.

    ALLEGIENCES

    Epic Fantasy is quite simply Good against Evil with the protagonists universally being those of Good Allegiance. Each character has two Allegiance Scores: Good and Evil. Each time a character does something good (according to
    the list below) he receives a Good Point (or Points). Likewise happens if he does something Evil, but then that Point is and Evil Point. Characters must keep themselves as pure as possible when questing to save the earth, especially
    when the world does not need anymore evil in it. Thus, any character whose Evil Points exceed their Good Points they become embraced by darkness and are retired from the game.
