Chapter III - Character Examples
967 Words
All of them start with basic equipment.
IMPORTANT: Note that in this game, whenever I mention that the character gains an extra die, it does not mean they will roll an additional die; rather, it signifies an upgrade (improvement) to the current die they use. In other words, if a character attacks with a D6 and receives a +1D bonus for something (perhaps magic or an ability), it doesn't mean they will roll 2D6. Instead, they will roll 1D8!!! Exceptions will be specified.

6) MONK: Came from Asia to learn about Western monasteries, is mistreated by Western monks who are actually clerics and do not know martial arts.
Attack: D6 (Enhanced Unarmed Attack)
Defense: D6 (Enhanced Unarmed Defense)
Vitality: 10
Specials:
- Martial Arts (This is a great special, covering various aspects such as enhanced unarmed defense and attack and better use of some weapons. If the monk is using any weapon, he gets a +1 bonus, in the character in question, if he were using a short sword, he would attack with D6+1. In addition, some weapons have extra utilities, such as the staff, when wielded by someone with martial arts, allows for an extra attack per turn, becoming a weapon: D6+1/D6+1);
- Disarm (If the monk says he wants to try to disarm the enemy and gets a result higher in defense than the enemy's attack, the monk can disarm him. This is a great technique, considering that the monk always has an advantage with an unarmed opponent; however, he needs a very good defense to disarm more experienced enemies);
- Counterattack (If the monk warns the master in advance, he can counterattack his enemy. It works as follows: the value that defense exceeds the attack will be the damage that the monk inflicted on his opponent.)
NOTE: Each of these special monk moves can only be used separately. The monk cannot disarm and counterattack in the same turn, at least not initially. If the master wants, he can add the two or more techniques in special upgrades!!! It's optional as a rule!
